Kadota sat at the cemetery looking at a grave marker. 'Togusa Saburo' was the name written on it. No body had ever been recovered, so the grave was more or less a statement than an actual burial spot. Kadota came here often, every time wishing it was just a nightmare. But he knew it was true. He failed his friends. Erika lost her eye, Yumasaki was nearly burned to death. And Saburo...was dead. "It should have been me instead of you Togusa." He sighed, slowly getting ready to go home.
The sound of thunder suddenly filled the air. Odd. There wasn't a cloud in the sky a moment ago. Yet now in the east Kadota saw a storm brewing. The clouds had an odd almost green tint to them. Kadota froze remembering last time a mysterious storm appeared. It can't be happening again could it? That is right, Ellessia died. So she was unable to stop the demons for good. What if they chose to come back?
As Kadota turned to leave the cemetery, and go home to check the chatrooms for any signs of demons, his phone rang. "S'up?" Was all he said as he answered. "Kyohei?" A familiar voice asked. Kadota's eyes widened as his heart nearly stopped. He knew that voice. But, impossible. "T, Togusa?" He stuttered not believing it. "Yeah it's me. Look. We need to talk. Where are you? I'm at your place waiting." The line then went dead.
Kadota's hand trembled. He felt as if he were to faint. It couldn't be Saburo. Saburo was dead. He had been for over a year. Yet. That was Saburo somehow. He then thought of something. Masaomi. Did Saburo come back like he did? As a ghost. But, then why was he at Kadota's place. Maybe Saburo hated him now? The last they spoke was a fight about Ellessia. Was it possible Saburo was an onryo, and wanted revenge?
He gritted his teeth and looked down in defeat. He had to know. Even if it was dangerous,he wanted to see Saburo one last time. Even if it was a Onryo, and he was to die. Kadota made his way home and reached for the door. But hesitated. Maybe this isn't real. Maybe I am dreaming? He wondered. After he gathered his courage he slowly opened the door. At first his apartment appeared empty. But, the lights were on. He knew he had turned them off before leaving.
His eyes scanned the room. And then he saw it. Someone was in the kitchen area. He could see the movement of someone's shadow. Taking a deep breath he went to see who it was. Sitting at the table was a figure he thought he would never see again. "Saburo.." Kadota whispered in disbelief seeing his old friend waiting there for him.
