A black stretch limousine pulls up outside the church where the service was going to be held. A bluenette steps out of it and walks up the steps into the church. He looks rather worn, but tries to ignore his tired body as he moves to look upon the body. He can see the light blue satin lining the inside of the oak coffin and half of a blue dragon similar to Dragoon on the lower portion of the coffin.
The tiger walks up behind him and says, "I know you truly didn't mean for him to die. It is still unreal that he is gone. He won the World Championships just two days ago and now he is gone". Kai scoffs slightly, then says, "He got to realize his dream to be the World Champion and..." not being able to finish he turns to face Rei, and hugs him before letting go and walking toward a pew. He sits down and looks at the floor of the church. The funeral was very beautiful and the eulogy that was delivered by Mr. Dickinson was amazing.
Kai, Rei, Max, and Kenny were the pallbearers and they delivered the coffin to the gravesite while shedding a few tears. All were dressed in black and the final funerary rites were delivered at the gravesite. The coffin was lowered into the ground and all in attendance tossed a handful of dirt over it as they passed on their way out. Kai waited until everyone else was gone before saying, "I really didn't mean it, and I kind of respected you for your clumsy talent".
Turning after dropping his handful of dirt on the coffin, he sees Tala behind him and asks, "Why are you still here?" Tala approaches him and touches Kai's face gently before saying, "I want to make sure you are alright. I also would like you to meet me here, a day month from now". Kai looks at the wolf quizzically before asking, "Why?"
Tala takes hold of Kai's hand and brushes the remaining dirt from it before answering, "Because I want to make sure you are truly alright after his death, and this would be the most appropriate spot, considering you cannot lie in front of the dead. Do you promise to meet me here in a day month, Kai?" The phoenix looks into the azure pools and answers yes. Tala then grabs his head softly and kisses his lips to seal the deal.
Tala then vanishes and Kai turns every which way, but cannot find his friend. He supposes Tala was messing with him again and walks out of the cemetery. As he passes through the gates, he remembers a story Tala had told him when they were children. He had told him of a demon that would take human form and exact a promise from the last at a gravesite to meet them there at a later time and then seal the promise with a kiss. He could not remember the end, but wasn't completely worried about it.
Later that day, Kai was talking to Tala when he brought up the occurrence at the cemetery. He says, "I still don't quite understand why you want me to meet you at the cemetery in a day month". Tala looks at him strangely and asks, "What are you talking about Kai?" Looking up in surprise, the phoenix tells him what happened and Tala says, "Why would you believe that was me? I am not the sensitive type, you know that. What were you thinking?"
Kai shrugs and says, "I don't know, I thought of that story you told me when we were children, but I couldn't remember the end. I know it was similar to what happened to me earlier." The wolf hangs his head and says, "What story are you talking about? I don't ever remember telling you a story like what you just described."

Reviewers:
Freed Kyes: Yes, it does seem a little odd. I hope it will seem less odd to everyone as the story progresses.
Silens Fletus: It does sound freaky for Kai to have mystical powers, at least to kill people. It may make some think about what they say before they say it though. One slip of the tongue and someone could get hurt or die.
Tabby: I am glad you loved it so much, here is the update.
A/N: I will update 'Storm' and 'Trust and Betrayal' soon so check them out.
