Kyuuketsuki Duo -- Beginnings
Prologue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He is too powerful.

	Agreement.

He is a threat.

	Consent.

	There were no voices audible to the human ear.  There was only a 
roiling mass of powers, mingling together as they were not wont to do, 
coming together briefly to communicate, and then sparking apart again, 
contact sustained only as long as necessary.  Ideas were conveyed with 
thoughts alone, in this gathering of Shinma of the East, those who 
desired to live in ease in the human world, among their prey.

He must be disposed of.

	Reluctance.

He is too powerful.

	Acknowledgement.

???

	The queries crashed together, coming from all sides.  The 
leaders of the Shinma clan turned their collective might and thought 
towards the production of a solution to this most annoying thorn in 
their side.  They were nothing if not powerful, and as such they were 
skilled at identifying threats to themselves and eliminating them.

Exile?
		On what grounds?

					Death?
							By what means?

		Entrapment?
				For what purpose?

We need him alive.

	We need him away.

			We need him powerful.

		We need him powerless.

				He is important.

							He is dangerous.

We shall send him away.

	That is exile.

It is not.

	    There shall be a reason.

			What reason shall be sufficient?

The guardian's heir.

				What of it?

						He shall find it.

				And then?

He shall return with it.

			He will not find it.

That is no problem.

					The guardian's heir is a myth.

					He will know.

					He will not go.

					It is transparent.

No.

There is no guarantee the heir is not.
It is not complete fiction.

	There is no guarantee the heir is not.
	What if he succeeds?

Then we benefit either way.

He will not go.

	He shall.  He obeys the will of the elders.

We do not represent all the will of the elders.
He will not go.

	He shall.
	The guardian's heir, should it exist, is more a threat than he.
	Our most powerful, to combat our most powerful threat.
	He will go.

We are but a small faction of the elders.
How shall we convince the rest?

	They need no convincing.
	They, too, wish the guardian's heir,
	though they for order,
	we for chaos.

The elimination of a double threat.

This is good.

	Let it be.

		Let it be.

			Let it be.

The voices disappeared and the darkness dissolved into darkness to 
spread their corruption and further their selfish plans.

						It shall be done.
