Lightning

Hello Sister

Tokine had fallen asleep on my lap after a while of soft makouts and regrets. I should feel horrible but honestly I don't.

"I came to ask you why is Keyshia crying back there, but based on the view here I can put two and two together." Inyu came from the side and sat next to me.

"You can be a hoe if you need to be, can't you." Inyu said.

"I want to say it was an accident, but I can't." I replied.

"I can't blame you, both Tokine and Keyshia are drop dead gorgeous, but eventually you're going to have to choose one though. You and Keyshia have history, and yeah, you and Tokine act like you guys known each other for years but are you really going to throw what you and Keyshia have away for her?" Inyu looked at Tokine.

"That's the thing, I don't know if I'm even in love with Keyshia, Am I? Or is it because she's all I have known all these years." I said.

"What if it's both." Inyu said. "I had a friend who kept me company for the past century. Her name was Violet. Nazo ripped her head off right in front of me 11 years ago. I never got to tell Violet how I felt. I loved her. I had the same question you had. I guess I'll never know now." Inyu said.

"There's your answer, she died 11 years ago and yet you still think about her, you were in love with her." I replied. Inyu looked into the horizon. The Shadow Continent was coming into view.

"Thank you." Inyu said "You know I've never had a male best friend." He said.

"I don't qualify." I said

"Oh come on, the girl's shouldn't be the ones bonding with you. Be my best friend. You and I, we have a lot more in common than you believe." Inyu said

I stood silent. "If I allow myself to trust you, and you betray it. I will hurt you in ways you have never imagined." I finally said

"How? The best you can do is kill me. I have nothing left to lose. By the looks of it, besides Keyshia, you don't either. So learn to relax a little, I'm no harm to you. We want the same thing, Nazo dead.

"Here's to a new beginning." I sighed as the boat docked. Tokine woke up and stood up.

"A new beginning? I'd like that." Tokine looked at me a smiled.

"So we're here?" Asis walked up next to us. Keyshia also walked up next to us she was avoiding eye contact with me and Tokine. Great.

"Great. Everyone's here." A cloud of black smoke appeared on the rails then dispersed. A girl about my height. Appeared on the rails in all black clothing with her arms crossed. She had dark purple hair and red eyes of the Exodia.

"Hello Sister." I said. I looked into her eyes and she looked in mine. She closed her eyes and smiled while she shook her head.

"What am I to do with you brother." Kimmy said as she hugged me. She looked at Tokine. "The Yakuza... huh." Kimmy examined Tokine.

"I hold grudges, but my brother is more important than any silly old grudge." Kimmy told Tokine. "You're father Tokken drugged me and tried to rape me, my fiancé at the time stopped him, he unfortunately died in doing so. If Lightning would have spared Tokken, I would have killed him myself. The only difference is that you would not be breathing right now." Kimmy smiled. "Everyone off the boat, we're going to Silica Town."

"Why?" I asked

"That's were I live, you forgot?." Kimmy replied. "Follow the red road. Keyshia fall back behind, you look like we need to talk."

     I rubbed my head with the sudden 8 year old me memories, memories I shouldn't be remember. I shake me head and continued on. I went ahead of the group and walked on the red road. Inyu walked up next to me, Tokine and Asis weren't to far behind. Keyshia and Kimmy were to far away from my earshot so I can't eavesdrop.
