"It was bound to happen sometime." I said with a sigh, watching as the re-animated men slammed shovels into the ground and dug their burial sites. "I mean, after what happened to his brother, he's been kind of down."
"That doesn't mean that he had to run away like a fucking pussy." Ki commented, rolling his eyes as he stood beside me. It's true; Yata had escaped from us in the middle of the night.
Even though I was an accomplice to his brother's murder, I felt no guilt for what had happened. I was a little pissed that he went off to rat us out in the first place.
"Done!" Elder Toguro said, his voice sounding as though it was filled with sand. I smiled at them, and nodded, watching as each of them got into their six foot deep graves.
They were incredibly useful, but unfortunately it was time to say goodbye. As much as I would've loved to make them our personal body guards for the rest of our lives, it didn't exactly work that way. If I kept them alive longer than I had, the possibilities of what could happen to them were awful. They'd either start to decay out of the ground, and eventually would be reduced to nothing but bones. Oh, also their souls would be super glued to their bones for eternity.
That wouldn't be very nice to people that had helped us out so immensely to have them decay and eventually be trapped in their nearly gone remains.
I followed Ki as each of them laid to rest, the light slipping from their lips and into the tips of my fingers. Ki covered them up with a shovel, patting the top of them with his hand and tracing an 'x' over each one. I had no idea why he was doing this, but I let him.
I thought I had them all laid to rest, but I was standing over a grave that was freshly dug. However, as I peered over the side, I saw that no one was inside. "Hey Ki, which one is this for?"
"You."
I was about to turn around and laugh, because it had to be a joke. But in a second, I felt something tearing through my body. The object went into my upper back and then popped out in the center of my breasts.
Blood dripped from my lips as I looked down to see what he had stabbed me with. My stomach churned when I saw that it was his hand, and in the center of his hand was the diamond of my necklace.
"What are you doing?" I whispered, trying to breathe in but something was going wrong. I listened as he pulled his hand out of my body and then shoved me into the grave. I disappeared into the darkness.
Dirt fell onto my face some time later, and I opened my eyes to see Ki and Yaman standing above me. Ki let out a chuckle and began talking once again to Yaman. I couldn't hear what they were saying; it felt like I was actually four hundred feet below ground.
"Help." I whispered quietly, reaching my hand up to get their attention. But I saw Yaman tilt his head back and just start laughing.
"Well, goodbye Kira." I heard that loud and clear coming from Ki, and I watched them walk away once they were done laughing at my expense.
I could feel the blood draining from myself, raising my hands up in the air it took a lot of energy just to make my fingers into a gun like shape. I'd never done this before, and I just prayed that it would work. I remembered what Yusuke had once told me about the rei gun.
I pushed all my spirit energy to the tips of my fingers, shooting the rei gun into the sky. With that, I was back into the darkness.
