Mitsume wasn't a quitter. He never was and never would be. Thus, when he was given time to train and grow stronger, he didn't waste that opportunity. He traveled across the entire span of the world, slaying everything in his way, unyielding and refusing to halt even for a minute on his path towards vengeance.
Mitsume wasn't a loser. He might have lost the battle, but not the war. The final match was nearing. It had been four years since he last laid his eyes on that insufferable blonde nuisance, but the image of that man had never faded from behind his eyelids. When he slept, when he fought, when he ate, when he killed—always, that man's visage never left him, always present even during the period of his absence.
Mitsume wasn't a toy. He knew. He knew that that man had enjoyed every single one of those four years, knowing that he was crossing every obstacle, fighting every day, all for the sake of defeating him. He knew that that infuriatingly carefree man was laughing the entire time, laughing at him for no other reason but to ridicule him. To test him. But he would prove to him that the better fighter, the better killer, the better demon was he.
Mitsume wasn't afraid. When there was a bemused glint in that man's eyes, as if questioning why Mitsume was attempting to jab a dagger in his eye—Mitsume's eye—he ignored the sudden sense of dread pooling at the bottom of his gut, and knew that even if that man had dared to forget, Mitsume would make him remember no matter what.
"Excuse my rudeness, but who were you again?" He inquired and sent him that maddening grin of his, so achingly familiar.
And when Mitsume finally realized that that man had been teasing him—suddenly time turned back to the past, four years ago, when he was still an obstinate weakling, clashing fruitlessly against Hell's finest military leader—he smiled.
"Your demise."
(A/N): Alright, I'll admit it. I'm a shameless fan of MitsumexOthello. But, come on--who isn't? The licking of the boot--MY GOD, that was one of my favorite parts of the manga (including Ororon's failed attempt at raping Chiaki--yah, I'm twisted and you know it XD). The song was "Points of Authority" by Linkin Park. And, uh, yeah... This was originally the seventh drabble. I gave up on the fifth in the middle of the song and didn't even make an effort on the sixth at all. As for numbers eight and ten... Well, all I'll say is don't expect much. -.-;;
