Ichimatsu continued to stare shocked at the spot Osomatsu disappeared. At first, he thought it was a trick his mind played on him, maybe he was paranoid about hearing Karamatsu and Choromatsu's conversation earlier. He would have thought that if his cats weren't blinking at the spot Osomatsu was as well, sniffing around the spot to check for the supposed 'eldest matsu.' Ichimatsu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself even though it didn't really help. He dropped some of the cat treats on the ground before heading back to his home that he shared with his brothers.
So.. apparently my idiot older brothers were telling the truth? Damn.. Ichimatsu opened the door to his house and looked to where his older brothers were. Only Karamatsu as there, sleeping with his head in the table. He was resting his head on his arms, Ichimatsu blinked at him and stood in the doorway. He didn't move and just watched his brother for a bit. Ichimatsu's face grew a grim smirk and a seemingly dark aura came from him. He walked over to Karamatsu and shook him. Karamatsu blinked his weary eyes opened and yawned. He looked at Ichimatsu with half-lidded, tired eyes. "..Ichimatsu..? What is it...?" Ichimatsu smiled darkly as he looked at his tired older brother.
"Hey Kusomatsu, wanna do something fun?"

Karamatsu couldn't see. Ichimatsu had put a blindfold on him, saying whatever they were going to do was gonna be a 'surprise.' Honestly, Karamatsu was scared. Why? Well, Ichimatsu's 'surprises' usually aren't.. very good... Karamatsu remembered Ichimatsu had a 'surprise' for him once and he ended up almost falling off a five story building. Karamatsu felt a cold chill run up his back, making him shiver. Ichimatsu had a strong hold on his hand and was dragging two unknown objects in his other hand. They seemed to be metal since Karamatsu could hear a metal type sound hitting against the dirt. Wait- dirt? There was no dirt in the city.. Just pavement of some kind.. 
"Okay Kusomatsu, we're here~!" Karamatsu was ripped from his train of thought at the sound of Ichimatsu's voice. It sounded cheerful.. That's never a good sign... Ichimatsu ripped the blindfold off of Karamatsu's face harshly, scaring the second eldest a bit. Karamatsu blinked and looked around, an all too familiar place was what greeted him.
A graveyard.
Ichimatsu smiled and held two shovels and walked over to an all too familiar tombstone.
The tombstone of the eldest Matsuno brother.
Ichimatsu looked at Karamatsu and smiled darkly, tossing a shovel over in front of Karamatsu's feet. Ichimatsu rested the tip of his own shovel on the dirt right in front of the eldest's tomb.
"Ready to see an old friend again, Kusomatsu?"
