Shunsui had not honestly considered backing out of this confrontation. Not once. Certainly, he had thought loudly that he would rather be in bed, that he would rather not get into a fight at all ( ... )

Ukitake doesn't so much as flinch when Kyouraku appears, seemingly from nowhere, in a burst of spiritual energy more than enough to counter his own. There's no need for surprise or alarm, after all - he knew the latter man was coming from the beginning, and the reiatsu...well. It was as familiar as his own, after all these years - little cause to be peturbed, even now that it's deliberately amplified on Kyouraku's part. Hm.

Possibly a warning? How amusing.

He comes to an easy halt, with Shunsui standing in his path. Just as Kyouraku's stance has no aggression, Ukitake's is the epitome of relaxed as well. Idly, his hands automatically slip into his sleeves (even though they're slightly tattered and frayed now, as they are), an old familiar habit that clashes against the very new, unfamiliar smile he wears now.

"Ah, what might you mean by that?" And he chuckles. "Mine's been simply wonderful so far, actually. Has yours been that much less pleasant?"

"I wouldn't say yours has been wonderful by anyone's standards." Shunsui puffed a little air after making his statement.

It was very clear that something was terribly wrong with Ukitake, and out here on the Thor, it could be absolutely anything, and Shunsui has no way to even begin to guess what is doing it. Things were so much simpler back home, where only three people on his side started acting evil.

"What a bother, what a bother..." he muttered. When exactly would this turn from words to action?

He'd really rather be asleep.

"I don't think I asked you, did I? Perhaps it hasn't yet occured to you, but what you and I consider wonderful could differ quite...dramatically, don't you think?"

Ukitake cocks his head, same hollow smile never wavering - because he hears those next words loud and clear, and the familiarity there doesn't fail to amuse, either.

Familiarity...how odd it was, to think he knew this man so well. What merit had he found in him in the first place? --So much as to call him a dear friend, his best? All Ukitake could find himself recalling for the moment were all the irritating, inconsistent things about the latter, none very redeemable by perspective.

But that's not everything. Not even a fraction. And the better aspects won out by far - don't you remember?So a small, small little voice in the back of his head spoke, though the words were ignored - unheard. The drug still had a gleefully firm grip on Ukitake's mentality, and such musings waned into disinterest, being tossed aside in short order ( ... )
