Kazuma opened his eyes from the memories that seemed to haunt him.His best friend, the one who never cared that he was a native alter. The friend that never betrayed him, no matter how close he came to being captured by Holy. He didn't want to believe, he couldn't take knowing the truth.
'This just can't be happening,' he thought to himself refusing to believe it, but deep down in his heart he knew.
'Kimishima...is...dead...' the words slowly left his mind making his heart sink to what seemed the bottom of the Earth. He looked up at the sky still holding Kimishima and Kanami still holding onto him. He didn't want to put him down; didn't want to feel his pulse, and he definately didn't want to face the cruel reality that Holy faced him with. His anger faded as more memories flooded his mind of everything that had gone on between them. But the one memory that kept opening itself up inside his mind, was their very last battle. He couldn't see it, or maybe was it that he just didn't want to face the facts. Maybe he knew that Kimishima was hurt, but he kept it hidden in the back of his mind. Maybe he could have saved him.
'Maybe if Kimishima had never met me,' he thought to himself feeling as though it was his fault for his friends death. He thought to the last things he said to him, the last thing he did for him, and eventually everything that he did for him.
'I didn't kill him, Holy did. That Ryuhou did it!' Anger built up in him as his facial features changed, and the pain that he felt began to change into hate and revenge. Kazuma couldn't take the fact that Holy was the cause of this, or so he decided to blame. He put his hand on Kanami's shoulder causing her to look up.
"Kazu-kun?" She wiped her eyes with the bottom of her shirt, revealing red all along her face.
"You know of my alter powers. I have to defeat Holy, and that Ryuhou, only after that will I avenge Kimishima's death." Kanami nodded holding onto Kazuma tightly.
"I'm going too. I'm not staying here alone anymore. Kimishima already told me what I would become and I'm prepared for that. I want to avenge him too."
"Alright." He smiled as he layed Kimishima on the ground, touching his hand as if a sign of peace. "Kimishima, if you're out there and can here me, I will avenge you, and our friendship will never end, but first I will bury you. In that spot, where we first met. Our sacred spot." Kazuma looked up at the sky as he spoke as if looking up at Kimishima, "Holy, we're on our way."
