usogi | [ i already regret sasuke and senri ]

[His hand gives Senri's neck one telling squeeze, and then he draws it away, but doesn't exactly back of Senri's personal space.] I'm not going to stand beside you while you crawl around on the floor so a conceited god can step on you.

Don't you have any self-respect? Even Naruto would stand up for himself, and he's a good-for-nothing piece of trash.

He would've talked fine without you pretending to please him. I'm not respecting a god who won't respect us, the people they're dependent on when they can't learn to settle their own battles.

Someone like you wouldn't get it. [and senri is reaching up to place a hand over his throat where sasuke's hand was] Someone who can use force to get their way, and threaten others into action with strength wouldn't get it at all.

[he huffs out a ghost of a laugh]

What good does self-respect do me in a place like this? I have my own integrity, I know what's important to me, and what that god thinks of me isn't relevant to me at all. So what if I lower my head? If I bring back enough good information to help everyone else, that's all that matters.

But after all we did to summon him in the first place, you'll still insult him? For what? Your own ego? It doesn't matter if you're right if no one will listen to you anyway!

[Both of his hands fist at his sides, but he doesn't have any retort that he thinks wouldn't be wasted on Senri.] He insulted me when we went in! [And then acted like a lil bitch!] I'm not going to let him treat me like trash and expect me to bow down for the sake of everyone else!

He should be afraid of me!

I don't care what he thinks he can do. I can get just as much information my own way. Next time, you can do it alone! Maybe if you beg at the offering bowl, he'll give you another audience.

[oh my fucking god. what is it about these emos that piss senri off so bad that he suspends his anti-violence rule? he's quiet for a second before he just makes a noise of aggravation before reaching out to grab onto the lapel of the perfectly nice jacket he picked out for sasuke]

Do you listen to anyone besides yourself?!

You don't have to let someone treat you like trash - you don't have to bow for any of the gods! I'm right here! I don't care if someone calls me stupid or thinks I'm a kiss-up, it doesn't matter as long as we win! If you keep going the way you are, you're just gonna get cursed -

And what am I supposed to do? Just sit back and watch you jump off a cliff?! The only person insulting me here is you!

[Excuse you, don't touch him. EXCUSE YOU, don't call him out!

Is Senri really ripping the red and white fan off his back and trying to get the flames higher and more out of control? Sasuke glares, dark eyes boiling.] I'm not going to waste my time even being in the same room with you if you're going to prostrate yourself for someone else! [His hand clamps around Senri's wrist, squeezing.] They don't deserve it. I don't care what they know!

I'm not going to let them treat us like insects! You, or me, or anyone. None of them deserve to rule. It only brings pain and suffering. Why can't you leave me alone and care about yourself!

I don't care what happens to me! I'm alone! As long as I'm doing what I can to accomplish my goal, that's all that matters!

[for fuck's sake. for someone who's scared of ghosts and Ruin and of half the inhabitants of the castle, he somehow manages to meet Sasuke's gaze with some mixture of irritation and spite]

You're going to make me say it to your face just because you're too deaf to hear anything else?

I care about what happens to you! And I'm tired of hearing you say that you're alone when you just set fire to every hand that reaches out to you! That's not the same thing as being alone, as being ignored like you don't matter - you're just too much of a coward to let anyone in.

I'm not going to pretend to understand what you've been through - but torching everything isn't the answer, stupid!

I don't care whether you care or not!

[The anger slowly surfacing doesn't seem to be about this, though. The hand on Senri's wrist squeezes more.] My entire clan and my family are dead. I am alone. I've been alone since I was a boy when my brother murdered them! [It's too familiar. It feels like--Naruto. His fights with Naruto when he screamed about being alone, about having his family ripped out of his hands.] I don't expect someone like you to understand. [You never had a family, so you don't understand what it's like!]

Friends get in your way and make you weak. The reason you were groveling on the ground is because you think more about your friends than you do yourself.

I don't care how far into the darkness I have to walk. That path is one I accept to make sure my own world will be rebuilt with no more war, no more fighting, no more killing. [He rips Senri's hand off his jacket by twisting it sharply and painfully back.] The only way people will work together is if they're fighting a common enemy, and I'm going to be that enemy.

There and here. [He shoves Senri back his own arm hard enough to rattle the door.] You're the coward who wants to hide behind a fake self. I've accepted what I've become.

[fucking ow. you'd think that senri would stop picking fights with a ninja that outclasses him physically in pretty much every way, but that sure as shit isn't the case. he winces and hisses as he's manhandled and shoved, though the expression doesn't remain on his face for much long as he settles for holding onto his anger at sasuke instead.]

I know exactly who I am. [whether or not he has the courage to actually be that person is another thing entirely but - ] I don't want to hear someone who's so blind that he doesn't pay attention to anyone else to act like they know anything about me!

You're making your point! I hear you! But your logic is broken - how the hell are you going to do anything for anyone if they're going to curse you where you stand before you get anywhere?

I'm sorry, alright? Your life has been hard. You're trying to make it so others don't have to go through the same - but you can't even see straight like this!

Let them curse me. I don't care. I can still find a way to accomplish what I need to for everyone else. If I can't, it's because people like you got in my way.

[Senri is only going to keep coming out him with Friendship and Love. Sasuke recoils and draws away.] Stay away from me. I told you I won't hesitate to kill you. [When he turns away, he tries to make his glare as ugly as possible? Even if it may not be honest, it seem genuine enough. It's chill-inducing.]

Next time, take your "friend" with you instead.

[ughhhh, he hates this. senri's still a baby bitch and freezes under an intense enough glare - though he tries to recover as quickly as he can, and will at least act like he doesn't believe sasuke. what's his place here if not to act like he belongs amongst murderers and thieves?]

I don't know who you're talking about and I don't care....

I hope you find whatever it is that you're looking for, Uchiha.

[asshole!!!!]

[Sasuke snorts low and soft under his breath, a "tch," and he doesn't look back after the initial one.] I will. On my own.

[Reaching up, he hooks his fingers through the bowtie and jerks, snapping it from around his neck. He drops it on the floor and keeps going.

is this like giving the engagement ring back yeah i guess]
