Imitsu let the others speak for him since they seemed to be so adept at it. His appetite had dissolved somewhere along the way and he merely pushed his breakfast around, a dark mood beginning to brew in that pessimistic mind of his. While Kisuke had indeed explained the origins of the Vizard, he had failed to specifically mention how Haishiro had become a Vizard since his circumstances had been a bit…different, to say the least. However, Haishi wasn’t about to volunteer his personal history if no one touched on it or asked so he could care less what Orihime was told. The less everyone else knew about him, the better. Knowledge was power and he preferred having the upper hand.
Listening to Yoruichi talk stirred a sense of bitterness within Imitsu. The anger and pure hatred he’d experienced as they had tried to hunt him down and exterminate him like an animal practically poured off of him in roiling waves. His reiatsu changed slightly. The hollow in him began to scream from his soul’s depths, urging him to give in to the darkness, telling him how easy it would be to continue down a path of unnecessary violence and bloodshed. In his mind’s eye, Haishiro saw the beast, his twin mouths open wide for him and ready to swallow him whole.
For once, Imitsu did nothing to clamp down on his feelings and it was obvious to anyone that could sense spiritual pressure that his was black and foreboding. As Yoruichi stopped talking, he spoke up. His voice was quiet and frigid, “We don’t take sides because we hate everyone, equally. I don’t consider myself a Vizard since I’m shunned from that group of people as well. You asked if I’m a good guy or a bad guy. Does it really matter in the end? Good and bad are like black and white…I prefer to think of myself as the gray.”
Haishiro excused himself from the rest of his companions. Collecting everyone’s’ dishes and utensils, he left the room without a word. Back in the kitchen, he muttered to himself as he sat there, staring out the window. It hadn’t taken much to get him in such a sour mood. A flood of emotions were whirling about within him, threatening to drown him lest he keep his cool and maintain a collected head.
With a practiced motion, he took off his blood-red glove, looking at his adjuuchas arm hatefully. He sighed. “Thirty-six years and it’s still the same shit…”
