Nikorasu Eda stood at the large wooden gates. He wore his light armor, for he would be performing after the funeral to entertain the guests, at his side he wore his Katana, sharpened fine, and still stained at the grip.
He awaited at the western entrance of the Imperial Palace . Admiral of the Navy Nagumo stood to his left and General Umezu to Nagumo's left. Both in full gear, almost ready to go to war.
Eda wiped the sweat from his brow, it was a bright fall day. As the trees around the Palace were starting to grow brown. It wasn't hot and yet it wasn't cold either, it seemed just right.
As the visitors began to pour into the main gate and along the parade route, The 3 men stood at the private door to the funeral, as not to be disturbed by onlookers.
"Well, I don't think Isoroku would've had it any other way" Eda remarked.
"He would've, He'd rather been dropped into the sea aboard the Akagi" Nagumo responded quite coldly.
"I doubt it" Umezu said, before wiping his nose "He'd have Seppuku'd, himself on your pretty little vessels"
"You shut it Umezu, You have no idea what your talking about" Nagumo turned to him as he replied.
Eda put his hand to his forehead and sighed "Will you two just grow up," The first car began up the street. "We don't need a scene at Isoroku's funeral. Just drop it, smile, do whatever it is you do and just take care of this later"
As the first car approached, Nikorasu changed from frustrated look, to a sad gaze. He prepared himself for the meeting of the leaders of the free world.
