Ch. 10

“I . . .” , the voice whispered shakingly.

Hotaru stays in the same kneeling position in front of her father’s tomb, not bothering to respond.

“I’m sorry. . .”, Rini completed her sentence.

The wind kept blowing all the dead orange leaves around the atmosphere.

“I know you didn’t mean to do it. . .but. . .please. . do me the favor of leaving me alone with my father and I. . .”, was Hotaru’s only response.

Rini nodded her head and began to walk her way off the land of eternal sleeping people.

“I know what you feel.”, said this familiar voice.

Hotaru remained kneeling down, knowing who it was behind her.

“You’re enraged. You feel anger, grief. I know you do, as so do I. These times have been so harsh to everyone, including me. I feel your frustration, Hotaru. Hotaru, I have an idea for revenge. . .”, Rei mentions with a smirk on her face that Hotaru doesn’t bother to look at. “

“. . .What do you have in mind?”, asks Hotaru after a long moment of silence.

Rei draws out a shiny new sword.

“A fight.”

“What?”

“Challenge your friend to a fight.”

“ . . . “

“On the very tip of this weapon, there is venom. Venom, ready to attack its prey.”

I’M SORRY I TOOK SOOOOO LONG! A MILLION APOLOGIES! School, homework, studying, and all that stuff I had to concentrate on. But hey! It’s summer! I’ll get this done! Umm. . and I have to get my mind refreshed. . . I can’t really remember how the story goes. x.x Sorry if this chapter sucked! But I will do my best to refresh it and get back into the writing mood! Sorry it’s so short. -Adi
