Chapter Two: Hao's suffering and New Promises

"H-Hao-kun I'm so s-sorry..... I promise... in 500 years I will reincarnate myself. I will find you again Hao-kun. I promise." Suki whispered.

"BUT HOW?? HOW WILL YOU FIND ME? HOW WILL YOU KNOW??" Hao cried.

"Faith, Love, Trust, Destiny." Those Were Sukira Toshi's last words. Hao looked up to see who had caused him this pain. What he saw angered him. Humans.

The same creatures that had ruined her life before had come back to do it again. They took everything they had... their love, their happiness together. They had torn their world to pieces. Hao knew what he needed to do.

Hao attacked and killed the humans... They took it all away... in the blink of an eye.

Her life................

His love................

Their happiness....

Gone.

"Suki-chan..." Hao wept.

"I know now, and I promise you... in 500 years we will meet again. I will fight in the next tornament and I will find you, take you as my queen and destroy the creatures who we once called 'people', and who ruined our lives. They never failed to take all we had in this life together. Suki-chan they will soon feel your suffering.... They will repent at your feet and they... will... fall. This, I promise you." And so Hao burried his love, his promise to her engraved forever into his heart, mind, and soul, along with the memories of her and of them that they had made in their short life together.

He sat at her grave and recalled how they changed each other and made each other happy, how they grew to love each other and were never found apart. He remembered her last words...

Faith...

Love...

Trust...

Destiny.

"Sukira Toshi... I promise we'll meet again soon." Hao whispered with tears rolling down his cheeks. His final promise had been made. Asakura Hao threw himself off of the cliff where Sukira had been burried, and fell, his life flashing before his eyes and all of his memories of Suki and his childhood, memories of the tournament and how happy he was after each new victory and the agony of his first defeat.... all of this lingered in his mind..... as he hit the ground..... to face his death.......
