"She's gone, she left. What happens if she kills herself or something? She can't handle this by herself," Yahiko said.
"Of course I can. I just wanted to say good bye," I said.
I stood up on the roof. Yahiko turned and looked at me, I could make out tears in his eyes.
"I'm leaving. People I care for shouldn't be in that type of danger ever again," I said.
"You can't leave. What about that guy you just killed. Keori you just chopped his head right off his shoulders, and then you just left," Yahiko replied.
"Don't you think I know that? Have you ever killed someone? Do you know what this burden feels like?" I exclaimed.
"It hurts. I know it was wrong, but I can't do anything now. You don't know how this feels. That's why I'm leaving," I continued.
"What about the assassin?" Yahiko exclaimed.
"What about him? I don't care anymore. So I'm leaving goodbye," I said.
I jumped off the roof and over the back wall. I walked down the street.
"Keori! Come back here right now!" Yahiko yelled.
I ignored him and kept walking. At dusk I eventually walked back to the temple to get my stuff I had hidden in the tree. Instead of getting my stuff right away I listened. I could hear everyone inside, everyone except Yahiko and Kenshin.
"Yahiko, come out and eat," Kenshin said.
I walked over to the door that was slightly open and looked in. Kenshin was standing in front of Yahiko's room. Apparently he wouldn't come out.
"She's made up her mind. You can't change that Yahiko. You can't stave to death in there," Kenshin said.
"Just watch me. She made a stupid decision; she can't survive with having killed someone like that. I've never killed anyone. I don't know how hard it is. You know she can't," Yahiko replied.
"Look I'm sure she'll show up. Her stuff is in the tree in the front yard. She will come back for it," Kenshin was cut off.
"And when she does, I'll have her stuff!" Yahiko exclaimed. He tore open his door and out towards the one I was standing at. I quickly dived under the porch as Yahiko ran out to the tree in the yard. He grabbed my stuff and walked back inside proudly.
"Now are you going to eat?" Kenshin asked.
"I'm not really that hungry really," Yahiko said.
"I'll bring you some anyway," Kenshin suggested.
Yahiko nodded and Kenshin brought him back some food a little while later. I was sitting against the door listening to my friends talk. I eventually stood up and walked into the temple. Kenshin had gone and Yahiko's door was shut again.
