Chapter 4

"What?" A puff of white smoke escaped from his mouth, fingers holding onto the cigarette, he made no attempt to turn and face her.
"...Are you, scared of death?" the question which pop out of her mouth did not really shock him, the storm guardian had been hearing numerous rumours about the mist guardian's attempt to understand the true meaning of death.
"No," he replied hastily, hands reaching for another cigarette tucked neatly in his pocket.
"Why not?"
"Because, I would not be alone anymore."
"How do you know?"
"I know, because that yagyuu-baka would be there, Juudaime would be there, and you will be there too, won't you?"
A soft smile graced her lips, her eye twinkled under the light, tears visible, "Yes, yes I will."
