- "Regret is a different beast when you live for centuries."
This was torture. This was the atonement he'd been so long waiting for, asking for, even, waiting for lighting to strike him down. Well. Karma's a b***h, isn't it, Kurama? Now that he suffered what he'd expected to suffer, he realized he wasn't really all that repentant to begin with. Funny how that works out.
He paused long enough to be puzzled by Hiei's sudden desire to adopt the flock, all of them impossibly tucked under his arm in a squirming mass of teeth and eyes. Watched in silence as he fed them all booze. Continued to stare, positively glistening with sweat, as Hiei rendered all of his hard work up to this point absolutely pointless.
"...or you could just do that. Well done, Hiei." The shovel was shoved in the ground, moat unfinished. Likely would never be. Hard enough to attempt a den above ground, harder still to dig without the use of claws. One of the drunken gremlins smacked into his shin before conking out, drooling on the grass beside his foot. When it began to twitch, he supposed it was dreaming. Not having a seizure. No sense getting his hopes up now.
"I suppose a leash of some sort would work," he sighed, sinking into the grass beside the drunken Hiei. "So long as the material is resistant to their powers, minimal bonds would be optimal." So as not to be tangled in them come morning or some other such nightmare.
Still. He was terribly thirsty and Hiei seemed in no shape to be left alone. Green flicked to the glass again, then Hiei, lip bitten. He hadn't missed the pointed enjoyment of the drink earlier or the victory flared in triumphant reds. Sadist.
Another clone managed to get as far as the tree before it, too, stumbled over itself into a heap of drunken slumber. The three others followed suit shortly after, piled atop each other. Kurama was surprised to discover himself smiling.
"Well. That was painless enough." Wasn't so bad now that it was over.
