This town was not where he belonged.
He wanted to get out there, do some work, get going on forever, because now he had something to reach for.
Still, he was there, and he was buried underground, and he wasn't sure which hole he was in, but he was in one, all right.
They probably weren't going to come back for him. The other poor bastard was dead, really dead (at least that's what he could tell last time he opened his eyes and he could see jackshit). It wasn't exactly like they had failed; they had done their part, hadn't they? They'd gotten the bitch, and her bijuu, so that was done. At least he wouldn't be hunted down for failing.
…He wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad one.
Anyway, he had forever. Something was going to fucking happen, no matter how long it took.
This hole wasn't where he belonged, but it would have to do for now.
