Kyo, Yuki and Tohru made it back to their Japan. They watched as the portal closed behind them. It was dark, indicating that it had been hours since the three of them left.
"Shigure must be worried sick," Tohru said.
"Or he just had a party with Ayame and Hatori," Yuki sighed.
Kyo was staring at the portal that was slowly closing behind them. "Hey."
Tohru and Yuki who had started walking turned back and looked at him.
"You guys just go ahead," he said. "I'll catch up later." His eyes were full of some sort of emotion that made the orange in them blaze like fire.
"Are you sure? I'll stay with you if you like," Tohru offered.
"No. I have to be alone."
Yuki guided Tohru away. "Don't worry about him. He'll be fine. We have to get back and make sure that Shigure hasn't destroyed the house having a wild party."
Kyo kneeled down by the portal. He reached slowly for the edge, looking to see if it was solid.
It was.
Kyo grabbed a stick and laid it gently on the edge of the portal. It immidiately closed upon it, leaving half the stick in the air and a small glow around it. Luckily, the spot where it was wasn't noticeable.
"I promise, I'll come back someday. I swear."
He ran back in the direction of the house. He only glanced back once to see if it was still there. One day, it would be in use again.
