Sacred Killers - Akuma no yoru

Farewell

[Muigetsu] *in pain* *yelling* Finish it! Kairo!

Kairo answered to Muigetsu's cry. He bounced off of the trees back onto his weapon and used another tree for backspring. He exploded forward while using Koseishi and sliced. A giant slice of aura shot out of his blade causing another giant slice to appear on Yokeitanto's torso that intersected the previous in an X shape. Yokeitanto fell forward and dropped to the ground. His sword fell out of his hand and he was unconscious. Kairo was completely out of breath and he could no longer breathe well. Muigetsu was on the ground, coughing up blood and shivering. His fingers could not stop shaking and twitching and the pain wouldn't go away. He could hardly breathe as he was gasping for air. He could no longer speak or utter a single word.

[Muigetsu] *in agony* *in his head* It hurts so much! I can't even move! My body! It wont move! Damnit!

Kairo quickly kneeled down from exhaustion and he no longer had the energy to move. His last two techniques used all he had. He began to breathe deeply, sweating profusely as he was exhausted and out of breath.

[Kairo] *exhausted* We did it...Hey...Muige-

All of a sudden, Yokeitanto rose up from the ground, dripping with blood. Kairo was alarmed and he immediately gripped onto his sword and jumped up, but he had barely any strength left.

[Yokeitanto] Tamashi...hakai

Yokeitanto's eyes glowed blue and he flashed around Kairo.

[Kairo] *nervous* What? No way...

Yokeitanto flashed behind Kairo and sheathed his sword. A blue figure dashed back and forth through Kairo, slicing him up. He immediately fell to the ground and fell unconscious. Muigetsu was already done and he quickly dropped to the ground, passing out. Yokeitanto kneeled on the ground, blood still dripping from his wounds that cut very deep into his skin, nearly piercing through his internal organs.

[Yokeitanto] *in pain* How reckless of you two, destroying yourself to defeat me.

Yokeitanto stood up and sheathed his sword.

[Yokeitanto] You two nearly killed me...

Yokeitanto picked up both of them and carried them on his shoulders. He walked towards the Minka, still dripping with blood and severely injured.

A while after - in Kairo's mind

Kairo was having another nightmare, a recurring one. He was running through the forest, no sword in his hand, shirtless, no shoes or socks, only shorts on. He was being chased by something...something dark and ominous. As it crept up on him, he began to run faster than he ever had before. He made it out of the forest and into the light, however, it was too late. He was suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. The shadow revealed itself and appeared in its form. This was Kyutaro and he brought some along with him. This time, it was Kyutaro, Kinoshiba, and Kotaro.

[Kairo] *terrified* Get away from me! Why won't you leave me alone!

[Kyutaro] Don't worry Kairo, I won't hurt you just yet.

[Kinoshiba] You're all that's left, how does it feel? How does it feel that sooner or later I will come to get you, and finish off what's left?

[Kotaro] Soon, my brother along with you and yours will be dead. You've roamed too long on this earth and in this reality, it's time for you to go.

Kairo quickly got up off the ground and sprinted forward. Kyutaro flashed in front of him in a blur and he prepared to strike. Kairo cocked his fist back and tried to punch him, but it was like he was moving in slow motion and when his fist reached Kyutaro. It was like he hit him with a cotton ball, it had no effect or force.
