Chapter 10

Your POV

The moment I was cleared to leave the hospital, I made my way to the sand village's cemetery to visit my late brother's grave.

Taking in a shaky breath, I sauntered into the graveyard, flatly gazing at each name etched into the headstones I passed. Soon my body came to a halt as I read the familiar name engraved into the recently placed headstone. I approached the sandstone commemorating his life on this earth, delicately tracing his name as I felt precious memories surge into my mind.

My lower lip quivered as a tear left my glazed-over eyes, pain shooting through my chest and mind as my legs buckled, leaving me to hopelessly slump to the ground. A flood of tears streamed down my face as I gently pressed my forehead to the headstone, and closed my eyes to picture his face.

You idiot, I thought, why'd you have to go and get yourself killed?  

I let out a sharp hiss of pain as my sobs began to grow violent and my whole body started to shake furiously. A puddle of tears collected underneath me, my mind desperately searching for something to prove this was a sick joke or a horrible nightmare but alas, this was neither.

This was all real, the only person I truly ever trusted was gone. There would be no more late-night games or any more of his annoying jokes,  nor would I ever get to see him smile again as he tried to make me laugh, the thoughts of things I'd never do, see, or hear with him again continued pouring in and stabbing my heart like arrowheads. 

I felt complete and utterly alone as I miserably tried to pull myself together, a fit of coughs taking over me as I gasped for air.

A soft hand fell onto my heaving shoulder, causing me to flinch and flip my gaze back.

"Y/n, " A calm, gentle voice hit my ears, "it's getting late, you should come home."

I sniffed, not bothering to respond, I was too busy focusing on staying awake. I heard a quiet shuffling and realized the person had knelt beside me, running their fingers through my, now messy, h/c hair. The person started humming softly, gently pulling me closer and into a warm embrace.

I weakly glanced up at the person, making out a pair of warm gold eyes and wisteria-colored hair. 

Kima.

The older Hosuki sibling gave me a worried look, noticing my half-lidded eyes fighting to stay open, "Rest, Y/n." She murmured.

As much as I wanted to close my eyes and forget about all of this, I glanced back at the headstone, but I was not quite ready to leave yet. Another wave of tears overtook me, making my body quiver in Kima's arms and causing the woman to try and comfort me while continuing to coax me into slumber. The golden-eyed woman started humming again, lulling my mind to rest, and my vision faded to black.

"Y/n, why the long face?"

I frantically searched for the person behind the voice.

A bright beam of white overtook the darkness surrounding me,  a bright chuckle sounded in front of me and I opened my once blinded eyes to see my brother staring at me with concern.

'Sh-Shoku? B-But...' My hand signs trailed off, not questioning it I tackled the taller male in a hug. I gripped onto him as tightly as I could, afraid he would leave me again.

"Hehe, I missed you too, Ghost." He smiled as he returned the embrace, which was unnaturally cold.

I noticed this and released my grip, 'Shoku, why are you so cold?'

The messy-haired boy started to turn into a black mass, starting from his feet, "Well, I am dead after all."

He chuckled again, a couple of shuriken flying straight into the side of his head, this. however, didn't faze him, the blood trickled down his face and dripped onto the sandy ground. The blood was like acid as it ate through the ground and anything it touched, including my brother.

I watched in horror as the blood destroyed my brother until I awoke with a silent scream.

I sat up, my chest heaved for air as cold sweat ran down my forehead and my bloodshot eyes darted around the room for my brother dying before me. In the end, I found nothing but a dark, but familiar, bedroom. 

I soon remembered everything that had happened, the memories hit me like a truck. My breath hitched as I began to tear up again, curling up in a ball and crying until I passed out. [I feel ya Y/n]

When I awoke again, the sun lit up my bedroom.

I noticed a note on the nightstand beside my bed, which read:

Brought you home from the cemetery, be more responsible and lock the door behind you when you leave your house next time. Also just to let you know, there is some food in the fridge. I made it for you and you need to eat it, I can tell you haven't eaten anything in a while.

Sincerely, 

             Kima Hosuki

That reminded me that I barely ate anything in the hospital, but I still wasn't hungry. 

I just wanted to sleep forever and forget about everything bad that happened.

Damn, I changed the chapter a lot, anywho, I hope you enjoyed it. Also, be prepared for more sadness and sorrow because it's not gonna get any better and I realized I haven't properly portrayed things.

Goodbye for now, Honey out
