An alliance to defeat Shibusawa?

Oh, this would be perfect, the russian just knew it. Once he cleared Shibusawa out of the way, he could go through with his own plan! If he were lucky, he could even manipulate his allience into following by his lead, though that was rather unlikely.

But he wasn't concerned about that. No, not at all. It was almost clear as day to Fyodor.

He walked into the room where his allience usually stood around. In the midst of the room was a table with a bowl of apples, and a skull in the middle. There was a fruit knife stuck in one of the apples. The russian could only assume someone had placed it in there.

Slowly, he pulled the knife out, its blade sparkling in the white light because of the apple's fruit. His purple eyes ran over its sharp blade. If used accordingly, it could be used for..other activities. But he didn't plan to use it. Fyodor had a feeling it belonged to Shibusawa.

"I wonder.." Fyodor began, talking to nobody in particular. "What could this mere fruit knife do, if it were to be used differently?"
