Escaping

Kokichis pov

I sat outside breathing some fresh air for the first time in what felt like forever. I ran my hands through the soft grass. We're finally free.

Our plan went off without a hitch. Maki took some arrows (not poisonous ones) and stuck them into my back. It was difficult playing dead with the amout of pain I was in but I managed to make it look convincing. Eventually tsumugi revealed herself as the mastermind and all six of us escaped together.

Kaito took a seat beside me looking glum.

"what's up big guy?" I asked "we've finally got out of that hellhole. I thought you would be happy"

"I am but.." he paused for a second "I thought I could believe in everybody but tsumugi ended up being a bad guy. I really am useless" he hugged his knees. I've never seen him look so depressed before.

"I wouldn't say that" I muttered thoughtfully "you gave everyone hope when there was none to be found. You gave people courage to believe in themselves when they were ready to give up. If it wasn't for you alot of us wouldn't be standing here right now including myself so no I don't believe your useless. In fact weirdly enough I'd consider you the most useful ally I had. Besides shumai of course!"

Kaito chuckled and pulled me into a hug "thanks kid. I needed that"

"no problem" I muttered turning red.

Jeez why's that idiot making me feel so strange?
