Different voices, different dreams
"you're insane… you're absolutely insane! What the hell do you hope to achieve by telling everyone about Blade X?" Shonen demanded as she stood in front of X's desk.
X calmly sat in his chair on the other side of his desk, papers scattered completely covering every square inch of his desk.
His head leaned up against the back of his hand as he leaned it against the arm of his chair.
"last time I checked… I didn't have to have things approved by you." he replied with a slight sarcastic tone in his voice.
Shonen pointed her finger at X.
"don't get cute with me… I just wanted to know the reason on why you thought it would be beneficial to tell the base and the world for that fact about how we are always victorious on the battle field… the only thing we haven't been able to do is get rid of Sigma… and please…" she paused for a second to rub the bridge of her nose to relieve some of the pressure she was feeling coming on. "…make it good…"
X stood up from his chair, came from behind his desk and stood a few feet from his sister.
"..first.. You have to promise me one thing…." he asked.
Shonen rolled her eyes….
"..what?" she moaned.
".. that you're not gonna clear it off like last time you were here…."
"..fine…" she replied with a low growl, folding her arms in front of her.
"…well…" X began as he leaned up against his desk. ".. I've been hearing things.. Rumors… voices floating around Hunter Tower"
A questionable look crossed her face.
"rumors? About us?"
X nodded his head.
"honestly .. I'm getting really tired of the constant chatter.. I just want this to be done and over with…"
Shonen shook her head in disagreement.
"yea… I understand you're frustration.. But, little brother.. There's got to be a better way.."
X shrugged his shoulders.
"if you got a better way… by all means… I would like to hear it."
Shonen let out a frustrated sigh.
"…I don't know.. Tell theme don't want to see the other hunters get hurt or something like that.. Anything but Blade X…. please little brother…. Yakasa…." she pleaded.
"but sis… this needs to be done… being truthful is the best way…the only way to achieve our deram… of a perfect utopia.. Elysium….is with the truth…. Please.. Don't make me choose between what you think is right and what I want this world to be…." X said softy as he lowered his eyes.
Shonen got closer to X and laid her hand on his shoulder.
X raised his eyes and looked at her…
"my only concern is that the wrong person will hear about it and that person will either use it against us or tell someone who will… then all hell will break loose… X, seriously the cure is far worse than the disease.. The risk is way to high…"
"I've thought about this long and hard.. For a long time… this wasn't a decision that I pulled out of the sky. Please, tell me you're with me on this one…."
Shonen lowered her eyes…
"I don't know X…there are some things that I just can't agree with , this is one them. If you do decide to go ahead and tell the truth, then you ultimately leave me with no other choice,"
X looked at her with a puzzled look on his face.
"what choice would that be?"
"..well…" Shone began as she began to pace the floor, trying to find the right words to say. "… the only choice I could see would be that we could no longer call Blade X.. it would be far to dangerous.. You it and I know it…."
'but Shonen.. This might also work to our advantage… if, like you said , that the wrong person hears about it, and that particular person tells someone who could use the info to try and destroy
The hunters.. Then the certain individuals would indeed try… but.. Wouldn't that just bring the hurt down on them harder?"
Shonen stopped pacing the floor and looked back at X, who by now was looking back up at her.
"..or they would try to separate us so we couldn't call Blade X, or even worse… kill one of us.. And that, little brother…. Would be very bad." she tried to rebuttal.
"I'm well known of the high risk that's involved for my apparent rash decision… we would have to stay on our toes." Replied in turn leaning his hands on the desk.
Shonen shrugged her shoulders.
"you've obviously have apparently put a lot of thought into this.." she began once again as she made her way to a nearby chair and fell into it. ".. I just hope you know what you really know what you're about to get us into."
