If he wants a fight, well now he's got one

The Palace felt quiet. A number of the Arrancar were out on a mission with Aizen; only the weak, or the unpredictable, had been made to stay behind, but that number had not, apparently, included Grimmjow. Kadaj and Tayuya had been left to their own devices without him and Yylfordt around.

Three days ago, they'd had a quiet conversation. Kadaj hadn't done much talking, just nodded, and then later in the day had crept into the laboratories down the wing of the Palace that Orochimaru had made his own. Kadaj used to go down there a lot, three years ago. He'd stopped just after the Arrancar arrived. He'd fallen out with Orochimaru once and for all shortly after that.

He emerged from the labs a couple of hours later, showered, and then went into the underground training facility. He didn't come up again for a couple of days, although there weren't really people around to notice, except Tayuya, who went down to check on him a few times.

He'd slept when he came back up, and then went to look for Nnoitra, one of the Arrancar who had been judged too unpredictable to head off to a freshly made Necrohol. He found him in the kitchen.

Kadaj made his way over; an unusual intent certainty in his expression, and spoke quietly. "Want to let off some steam?" His manner was all wrong to be an invitation to spar, but that was what it sounded like, at first.

"You might just be right about that," he conceded, looking from one to the other again. "But he still won't be at all happy that one of his subordinates is partly responsible."

Oh, he saw Nnoitra deal the killing blow. Kadaj had to know that.

"Though ... I'm sure you'll take full responsibility. Nnoitra was only backing you up when you were in trouble, after all."

Kadaj wouldn't get into as much trouble as Nnoitra. Death by other members was a well-known hazard for those in Khamja and they were all powerful people. When pushed .. bad things happened. And ... Orochimaru had clearly pushed Kadaj. Didn't he say he'd seen him refuse to back down? A subordinate of another member would not be extended the same amount of leeway.

Kadaj's attitude to the whole situation amused him. He really didn't have any remorse, did he? Gin wouldn't have expected Nnoitra to have any, but Kadaj..? Orochimaru was close to Kuja, someone he cared about. That ... would have repercussions and he still didn't show any signs of guilt. Interesting. So, the kid did have limits that he could be pushed to and some that could be broken. That was news.

"So what are y'going to do now?" He asked, sounding only half-curious.

He didn't miss the fact that he was taking Kusanagi, either. That was a hell of a dangerous weapon for someone like Kadaj to hold, but ... just perhaps ... it would be safer in his hands than anyone else's. Aizen would be disappointed that he didn't manage to get his hands on it after Orochimaru's demise, but it was something he'd have to put up with. It was hardly going to be willed to him was it?
