Chapter Three – The Three Days Mantra

-

I removed my outer kimono and shivered. I let the fabric slide down from my body and onto the floor of the cave. I walked towards Kyo's body and got on top of it. I rested my head on his chest that was not moving. I clasped his hands with mine.

"Kyo…" I closed my eyes and began chanting.

Wake up from your deep slumber

I will pray for you

Wake up from your deep slumber

I will pray for you

I gripped his hands tighter. Biting my lips so that tears won't escape.

Have a safe journey from the other side

Breathe life back into you

Have a safe journey from the other side

Breathe life back into you

I gulped. I need the right words…

Leave all attachments from the other side

Go back to where you belong

Leave all attachments from the other side

Go back to where you belong

Don't leave me

Wake up, open your eyes

Don't leave me

Wake up, open your eyes

I choked on the last part but continued.

Don't leave me

Please open your eyes

Don't leave me

Please open your eyes

I will stay with you day and night

Just wake up and see the light

I will stay with you day and night

Just wake up and see the light

"Damn it! Where could she be!" Sasuke hit the wall next to him. He and Yukimura was visiting but were answered by the disappearance of Yuya.

"From?" Okuni asked.

"The ten… Tora-san… and if luck still hates us… the former Mibu members then…" Yukimura told her.

"We'll find her in one piece… she's not that foolish to kill herself…" Bon assured them. All of them nodded.

"Let's just go to bed… we'll wake at the break of dawn…" Akari advised.

…

My mouth moved by itself, already remembering the rhythm. My whole body was tired. I can't move… that was good though… I don't have to worry about moving an inch… the mantra itself formed a sacred tune… I want to hear him talk so much… Kyo…

A/N: I know it's short… and half of it was the mantra but I'm gonna upload the next one too. Remember, I don't have access everyday or every week, some of it is by chance. I just started my form 4 and am busy learning the three sciences and A.Maths, E.Lit and others. Standard disclaimer applies here. Review.
