"Stand down Onigami (demon god). Greetings Tsunade san. My name is Makoto (serenity/trust). We spoke earlier. I am Asagi's dear friend. This is Onigami. Forgive him; he gets easily excited by my commands." The girl said politely bowing to Tsunade.
"Oh, Makoto. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Asagi was a great girl."
"Indeed Tsunade, but don't feel sorry. The possession of her belongings leaves no room for a grieving period as I'm sure you're well aware of."
"Quite so. This way please. I understand the urgency of your mission, but please stay a little while."
"Thank you for your hospitality." Makoto bowed once again as Tsunade led her to an apartment building leaving the kids confused.
"Here you are. I'm sorry, but the owner boxed up everything. I don't know where anything is. You may grieve here if you want." Tsunade placed her hand on Makoto's shoulder.
Politely brushing it off, Makoto replied, "No thank you. I'll be just fine after I find what she wanted us to have. Look for it Onigami."
The panther nodded and began looking through the boxes, throwing stuff everywhere. Things he discarded burst into flame and vanished. Finally, after almost all of Asagi's belongings vanished, two things remained; a medium-sized cheetah plush and a medium-sized Dalmatian plush with a sapphire ring in its mouth.
"She's really gone Oni. I knew that the ring couldn't come off of her unless she died, but damn. I wanted her to live. We were the only three survivors. Now, it's just you and me. I guess her spirit couldn't take it after all. She was always too kind and passive. Damn. I should've stated the true need of her animal instincts. Oh well, it's not like having that Dalmatian helped either. He gave her the gift of creating stuffed animals to use as a weapon, sure, but he neglected to mention that it shortens her life. Her alternative to accepting her new nature was death. Oni, should I have joined her?" Makoto sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
Oni purred and brushed against her legs. Makoto smirked and sighed contently. She petted his head.
