Warning: Get the Kleenex, tear-jerking entry ahead! -mariedee36
I'm in one hell of a mood today, in fact I really don't even want to talk about this, but Senshirou keeps insisting, so anyway, I didn't sleep well last night, I had that dream again...I dream this at least twice a month, and it always ends the same way. -I'm a young boy again, Cadenza and his cronies have either broken into the dojo, or are on our property, about to break in...everyone else at the dojo are fighting them off. I am standing there, ready, with my katana in my hand...but I can't move! Senshirou is nowhere to be found...and there is Cadenza going after Grandpa Garan...
The dream always ends with my standing over Senshirou's grandpa's broken body, his life draining away...I have failed in saving him...again! Sometimes, I will hear Cadenza's evil laughter in the background. This image stays in my brain all day, like it's tattooed there. In fact, I had, at least a couple times almost lost a shogi tournament due to being tormented by that after-image. I know these dreams will continue, until I finally get my revenge on Cadenza, which better be soon!
This is my fault...I'm such a 'shinigami', I bring death where ever I go. I know very well 'that day', I, along with Senshirou, were kept in a safe-room, because I wasn't trained enough back then to actually fight them off, but...he wouldn't have been killed if I never moved there! Senshirou would still have family today, but he has no one now, all because of me! *Senshirou goes over, hugs Kuroto, and insures him that he considers him 'family' and his partner. Kuroto smiles a little, despite not wanting to.*
I guess talking about this helped a little, I need to stuff myself with something sweet now...okay, Senshirou just offered to take me for green tea soft-serve...see you later.
