A boy stumbled along. His eyes blearily tried to focus, as he slowly set one foot down in front of the other. One hand held his side, blood trickling between the long fingers. The other gripped the hilt of a sword, broken just above the haft. Blood dripped from the broken blade, a clear trail left behind him on the smooth stone. Shouts sounded roughly in the distance.

Several minutes pass, the muddy blond haired boy stumbling along. Finally, his feet step from stone, to the fractured, sun scorched ground at the base of Sokyoku hill. A grin flashed on his face, as he stepped up to the stone wall, leaning wearily against it. The shouts were growing louder, and he thought he could hear foot falls nearby. They were coming for him. He was not going to survive this. His blade was broken. He couldn't remember exactly why.

"This way! I can see blood!"

He slid down the wall, sitting upon the ground, leaning up against the stone. The hand upon his sword shook, as he tried to raise it. He was going to die. Softly, he muttered, "I... Won't... Let you... Win... Tou... Sen.."

"There he is Captain Tousen!"

The boy raised his bleary eyes at a crunch before him, looking up into the blind eyes of Kaname Tousen. Tousen stopped several feet from him, holding onto the hilt of his sword.

"You are going back to your cell, Kla. You will be executed by the Sokyoku", Kaname said, standing over the boy.

Kla let out a pale laugh, blood trickling down his lips, before slowly saying, "You won't... grant me... your 'Justice' here? Are you... that weak... Kaname?"

With a crack he fell on his side, as Tousen's hand smacked into the side of his head. Kla coughed, blood trickling from his lips, as he pushed himself up on his side. "So you do get angry... He he he... You want me dead don't you?" He slowly reached up, grabbing the front of Tousen's shiakusho, "Do it. Kill me... Kill me, Kaname.. Tousen!", He pulled himself all the way up, face to face with the captain, "Kill me... Tousen..."

"No. You will be executed at the Sokyoku", Tousen said, gently reaching up and pulling Kla's hands off of him.

"You... are no man... You will lose Kaname... What, I don't remember... But I know... Though I will die... eventually... You will lose, and.. all on your side... will die.", Kla said, lowering his head. Slowly, an orb of energy appeared in his hand. Tousen stepped back in surprise, about to draw his blade, when all the energy released directly into Kla's chest.

"You... Lose... Tousen...", the boy muttered, collapsing, blood flowing fromt he gaping wound in his chest. Slowly, Tousen turned away, saying, "Report into headquarters. Tell them we apprehended him, but he killed himself before we could bring him in."
