parting is such sweet sorrow (kochou/Prim/Lelo(p)

The reply Mizuni gave the boy had been quite simple, yet could be described or said so many ways, also it could be taken or explained so many ways. But none of those ways were stated. Deva Path and Animal Path would dash over to Mizuni's side quickly, and Mizuni would let go of the boy's throat, Deva Path stepping forward and putting his foot down on Lelouch's chest, extending his left hand toward Lelouch, and his right hand on the hilt of his blade, and Animal Path in a defensive stance now, the position firm and quite sturdy. Mizuni backed up a step or two, and looked down on the boy.

"Your skill in the field of killing was quite impressive, yet very brutal and blatant, how do you manage to be so lacking of elegance yet kill efficiently? Or is it the prey you kill is simply weaker than even you?" Mizuni asked, gesturing to the dead body of the girl Kochou, the one that Mizuni would grab and lift up and over his shoulder, then looking back down to the boy and waiting for a reply, his cold-eyed gaze covered by his mask and lenses.

Lelouch stares as Mizuni speaks those words, his eyes widening and his thoughts racing, ‘how could this boy be a god? All he had was a simple mask and cape. Though, he was able to teleport and find Lelouch fast….. Lelouch then felt others approach and snapped back to reality. Only to find himself being pushed into the ground by an unknown face, and then seeing another approach and get into a defensive stance. They were wearing masks and long jackets... What was this kid hiding? Dismissing his thoughts, Lelouch looks up at Mizuni. Listening to his words he thinks for a moment before finally speaking.

“Look, I don’t enjoy killing. But it appears the one I killed today was much weaker than me. Now, can you please call off your minions so I can get up?”

Mizuni narrows his eyes as he looks down on the boy and grimaces, all facial expressions hideen by his mask. This boy, Lelouch, he was not very fun. Intimidation was no fun if the intimidated snapped back.

"Fine then, have it your way," Mizuni replied, making a gesture with his left hand by bringing two fingers up, as if to imply that the Animal and Deva Path really were sentient minions. Deva Path would crouch down and grab the boy by the collar of his shirt, taking his foot off of him and lifting the boy into the air then dropping him. Deva and Animal Path would step back to allow the boy some space, but still in range to attack if he made any moves.

Lelouch brushes himself off, having been picked up by that man was quite…. Unpleasant. But now the question was what was he going to do? Lelouch is currently surrounded by three shinobi who could easily take him down and had nowhere to run. So he did the only logical thing and started asking questions.

“Alright, now that that’s over with, I’d like to ask some questions if you don’t mind. My first one is: Why are you here? Second: What is your name? And third, what are you hiding under those masks?”

The boy's questions were beginning to annoy Mizuni. And that was not a good thing for this boy. In the world of ninja, one must act within a split second, making the right, tactical decision with extreme speed and precision. Those were the characteristics of the action of Mizuni having Deva Path quickly unsheathe his sword and bring it down in an arc to the side of the boy's neck, aiming to cut the neck open in a lethal attack.

Lelouch's eyes widened as the man rushed at him, feeling a cut run down his neck. The last thing he would ever feel. A slash rank straight across Lelouch's throat, causing blood to spurt everywhere as Lelouch gagged and coughed, trying to breathe. But to no avail, he finally dropped down onto his knees and fell to the ground, coughing no more. Blood still spilling from the open wound. Lelouch Lamperouge, was dead.


(Confirming Lel is dead. Gave Chibi permission to do so.)

Deva Path flicked his sword, merely a simple motion, and sheathed it quickly. He then knelt down by the body and ripped off a small amount of cloth from his own sleeve, tying it around the dead boy's neck and lifting the body up and setting it on his shoulder. He stepped towards Mizuni, and Mizuni walked off out of the forest, leaving a scene of an explosion, where two deaths had occurred that day. Mizuni's blood lust rose with the feeling of satisfaction of seeing the boy choke and fall to the ground dead. It was quite fun indeed.
