Chapter 18: Sanosuke Sagara
I arrived at Tokito's house and got off the horse as fast as I could. I entered the door that was already open and complete silence was all that greeted me. There was no one in sight anywhere. I searched the whole house but found nothing. Finally coming to the backyard I saw a shrine. Its doors were open and parallel to them, just a few feet away, was Saito.
He was lying on the floor, staring at the ceiling. Tokito was lying on top of him with her eyes closed and blood gushing from a big, deep slash on her back. Two policemen were also lying dead around the shrine.
I entered and walked to Saito's side. I looked down on him for once. He was holding Tokito's head, which was dangling from his shoulder. His eyeballs were all that moved to look at me. As I looked back at him, all I could do was think how much I hated this guy and I prayed to God to never even spare him the option of Purgatory.
"I'll never forgive you for this," I said in a monotone voice.
