Tarnished

Tezuka watches his newest warrior and wonders about him. Drama, I-3

Kaga would be a good place to see Echizen's real mettle. Kunimitsu's mouth tightened.

Echizen's form was beautiful. Deadly.

And wrong.

*purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

So Fuji isn't a general?

I can't wait to see Eiji and the rest, but especially Eiji. X3

Fuji and Tezuka were simply wonderful. *pleased*

Oh...you skipped over Kaidou and went straight over to Inui. But I guess Kaidou wouldn't challenge Echizen right away? Inui probably wants to get some data... Ii data
I wonder what Eiji would look like when he fights. It'd be pretty hard to do acrobatics in the samurai armour...but if he were a ninja then that's different... *suddenly imagines Eiji and Gakuto throwing shurinken and kunai at each other*
Okay...since Tezuka is Taisho...and Momo is Taii...I can imagine Fuji being Chusa. I think. With his skills and all. :x But it's your story do whatever you want! @_@;
Fudomine~ well they're Kaga now. Oh, I wonder how Tezuka will make Echizen really improve... :x

ah, there you are Fuji.... [strictly refrains from purring]

No, I can't really see Fuji as an officer, either. It's not his style... that level of responsbility is not something he desires or needs. A strong leader, worthy of his respect and mind... that's something else.

Okay, fangirl begging here: please, please, please, please, please let there be some little itty bit of TezuFuji/FujiTezu in here... the intimacy of their friendship just screams for it. I think I'm just resigned to the fact that I'll probably always be a TezuFuji fangirl... even when I het-pair them.

Interesting that you set Inui as seeking Echizen out. I'd be interested in seeing his rational for that. Does he see watch Tezuka sees-- the deadly potential? or just the potential? In the series, it seemed like he saw the potential, but he underestimated it, underestimated Ryoma's lethalness. Inui fell into his own trap of self-confidence. Which, really, was understandable. After all, only Tezuka and Fuji had ever been able to defeat him without fail, right? And the others, he was always able to win within reasonable predicability, right?


And, yeah, have I mentioned how much I love the Tezuka-Fuji interaction?


Hmmm... now... let's see... if he's playing against Inui now, am I to assume he's already played against Kaidoh? Maybe that's what first drew Inui's attention to Ryoma. And next to follow is some Momo-Ryoma interaction... after the freshmen congratulating Ryoma, but... the freshman wouldn't know that Tezuka plans on including Ryoma in next month's advance, yet... which means, maybe some of that MomoRyo interaction.........

*grins* And Fuji, of course was one of those sentences that made me smile and think "haha, duh, he can't be a general afterall, he's got to be some funny in-limbo people who everyone recognises anyway."

I like how the snippets are all so dignified and quiet and water colour-y.
