Karamatsu-San..?

Chapter 15: Dead..?

All of Karamatsu's body tensed up. He guessed Ichimatsu could tell since he could feel Ichimatsu's sweat against his ankles. "Umm Ichimatsu..? Can sunlight reach six feet underground?" Ichimatsu scoffed, "No. Umm, w-why..?" Karamatsu gulped, "A-Aniki is.. warm..." Karamatsu yelped, he felt his ankles starting to slip from Ichimatsu's sweaty hold. Ichimatsu stared down in shock then shook, "Are you sure?" Karamatsu looked up at Ichimatsu, "Positive." Ichimatsu gulped, "W-Well.. I think we should rebury him... for now.." Karamatsu blinked at him in shock, "But he's WARM! This could mean someth-" Ichimatsu cut him off, "We.. I-I mean you... can figure this out later. Ask him next time you see him in a dream or something.." Karamatsu sighed, "Alright, pull me back up." Karamatsu turned to grab Osomatsu's cat but paused, seeing that the cat was already gone. Ichimatsu carefully lifted Karamatsu out of the deep hole, letting Karamatsu sit himself up. Ichimatsu sighed before shaking out his sweaty hands and grabbed both of their shovels, handing one to Karamatsu. "Here." Karamatsu stood up and looked at Osomatsu one last time before helping Ichimatsu rebury him.

Karamatsu was sitting on the futon, it was around midnight. All of his brothers were sleeping around him. He laid, already under the covers of the large futon they shared. He was still bothered by the events that had happened earlier today with Ichimatsu and.. Osomatsu. Karamatsu let out a quiet sigh, I hope I'll get to see niisan tonight.. Karamatsu closed his eyes, falling asleep uneasily.
He opened his eyes, not to see the somewhat familiar forest or the moor covered in pink, pastel colored poppies- but instead woke up inside an old, wooden manor type building. He gulped and looked around at the unfamiliar structure, the only thing that he recognized was the dense air from Osomatsu's "heaven," which he was used to. Karamatsu blinked and looked forward, seeing large wooden doors in front of him. He opened the doors to see the flower covered moor where his brother stayed. Karamatsu stepped outside the manor, jumping at the doors that closed by themselves behind him. Then, Karamatsu saw a familiar figure running toward him. Osomatsu-niisan! Instead of greeting Karamatsu with his normally cheerful, happy attitude- he looked scared, and anxious. Osomatsu soon grabbed Karamatsu's wrist tightly, "KARAMATSU! WHY ARE YOU OVER HERE?! WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW!"
