Shinichi Kyousuke - "Raikage Huh?"
The words of Niji stirred in Shinichi’s head for what felt like hours but in actuality were only a few seconds. He wasn’t exactly sure how she would handle the news but it seemed like she was taking it relatively easy. Perhaps it was because she hadn’t known the details or perhaps she felt even the smallest fraction of the same guilt he felt. Either way this was definitely a good reaction to some rather dark news.
Shinichi was still lost for words as he made his way slowly over to a nearby tree where he soon sat down, leaning his back against It as his butt lay firmly on the ground. The way that Niji phrased her words it seemed that she didn’t really want to hear the dark details, maybe out of fear or maybe just out of understanding. ”You’d personally take me down if I ever went crazy…that’s nice to know…I think” he chuckled lightly, trying to change the mood a bit, for his sake. Shinichi sat in silence for a moment before speaking again. ”I don’t know if I’m really Raikage material but the idea is nice. Thanks Niji. Thanks for those kind words, but most of all I want to thank you for not running away and contacting the higher ups.” he gave a grin, looking up at his student.
”You do know that this can never get out right?” the emphasis behind the word never was unquestionably intentional. ”It’s not a matter of them just removing my rank and sending me on my way. If they knew, I’d be dead within hours.” there was no exaggeration in this statement. ”Even if Kumo doesn’t go after me, there are hundreds of others that are. Niji, I don’t expect you to understand and I honestly hope you never do but I’ve made a lot of enemies and these are people that don’t fuck around. I’ve been around the world and I can tell you right now that I’ve made a name for myself in at least ninety percent of that world. The only reason my original may not ring a bell to you is the fact that I haven’t been in the business for a long time.”
With a little bit of effort Shinichi was back up from his sitting position. ”Well...we still need to pick up our new teammate…we better go and hurry up before he thinks we’ve forgotten about him.” once again he began walking before Niji. ”I know this might sound like a weird request and it already seems like you had no intention of doing so but, I feel it’s best if you don’t go looking into my past, I’ll save you the time and tell you that you won’t like what you find.” he now looked over to her as he spoke. “…and once again, thank you for understanding.”
