Red Moon

Goodbye Tokine

~Keyshia~

I managed to get passed the guards after knocking them out. I am now tree hopping to Silica Town. After 30 minutes of tree hopping I reached Silica Town. I knocked on Kimmy's door. The door opened.

"Oh you're alive." Inyu answered barely excitedly. I sarcastically smiled.

"No I'm a ghost who's come to haunt you." I replied.

"It's not often I get haunted by a beautiful ghost girl. Add some red hair and you might be my type," Inyu walked away and I blushed. "Now I know you forgot about Asis, since when you told me to get Tokine's body you didn't mention his body but.." Inyu scratched his head, he revealed Tokine's body from a body bag, it stinks to hell. Her face was practically zombie-fied

"I didn't forget him but what happened." I said covering my nose.

"What's wrong? I'm a vampire, I have so much more to complain about this smell than you." Inyu teased I slapped his shoulders. "What happened? That's a good question. I went to get Asis, I found his body scorched to ashes. So I didn't -rather couldn't- retrieve him."

"Poor Asis, Nazo didn't have to kill him or Tokine, what a monster." I said. I watched as the sky blackened. Night time already.

"Lightning killed him, so at least he is gone." Inyu replied. "The main question is really, what do we do from here on out."

That was a good question. I want to go find Lightning, that seems to be the best I can think of.

"The right answer is probably go around helping people in need or what not to continue to raise the name of Bad Strikers... but I am way to selfish for that so I guess we follow the path of destruction." I answered.

"So we are going to find your boyfriend who left you. Super." Inyu teased.

"He's not my boyfriend."

"That's more reassuring than the last time we had that conversation. I hope you don't regret those words later." Inyu grinned. I swear he's just as conniving as Lightning.

I turned on the television in the living room. Elder was on screen.

"Good Evening, Shadow Continent, I am talking to all Shadow Ops, Lightning Xavier, Keyshia Momoichi, and Inyu Kidd has defected from Main City and are now national enemies of The Shadow Continent. All officers, army and Ops are required to kill on sight if these people are seen." All of our pictures are shown. I guess there's no news on Lightning's whereabouts. Just Elder having a bitch rant because we not helping her.

"She's a whole idiot, I don't know much about Lightning but from what I've seen his revenge and shit is not pretty at all, yet she is still going to war with Lightning and Maru, two of The Xavier's scariest members." Inyu sighed. "This Continent is going down."

"You haven't met Thundera yet to say Lightning and Maru are the scariest. Maru is scary by appearance and speech. He is careful when around Lightning we all know Maru fears Lightning. Now Thundera, she doesn't have any well known feats so you will have to trust me on this. Lightning and Maru are both angels compared to her." I said.

"For you to say that I will have to believe you." Inyu said. I giggled then looked at Tokine.

"Let's bury Tokine before the police finds out we are here, after that let's hit the road, we are going to have to keep moving to avoid excessive amount of combat."

"You do realize following Lightning is setting up for us to get caught a lot. Since they're probably going to investigate any destruction we are." I heard Inyu say behind me.

"We'll just kill anyone in our way. If Lightning hasn't done it for us."

"You sounded exactly like Lightning right there, I wonder just how much influence he has on you." Inyu said.

We got to Kimmy's back yard. I clapped my hands. A small rectangular hole appeared on the ground. This move is called Earth Manipulation. Inyu dropped Tokine's body in the hole.

"Damn Inyu will it kill you to be a little more respectful to the dead." I said.

"She's already dead, it's not like she felt it." Inyu replied.

"So... should we give her some parting words or should I cover the hole up?" I asked.

Inyu pulled out a bottle of red wine and two glass cups from his book bag that he probably took from Kimmy's cabinets. He poured himself a glass and me one. He handed me my wine, placed the bottle on the floor and walked up to the hole and placed his drink in the air.

"Here lies Tokine Yakuza. I didn't know her for so long but she was fun, a good comedic relief to our little depressing group with our stiff ass leader who's obsessed with revenge and happens to be my best friend..." Inyu glanced at me. "Of course Keyshia will never bring herself to admit it, Tokine was probably the best thing that happened to Lightning in a long time."

Inyu moved out the way. I stepped up. I lifted my drink mimicking Inyu.

"To Tokine... she was a fun little addition to the group, and Bad Strikers first leader, she came up with a stupid name call The Strikers, and she stole the boy I love and made him happy. I don't hold any ill feelings towards Tokine though, I loved her like a sister and viewed her as a rival. I also didn't know her for long but she was a good hearted person." I drank. If only Lightning was here. "Goodbye Tokine." I said sadly.

I noticed the bottle that should have been half full was empty. Inyu still hasn't finished his fill. He hasn't noticed. Then Tokine's body went up in flame. A shadow appeared on the floor, someone behind us had a flowing cape or cloak on. I turned around. It was a quick second that it happened. His crimson eyes looked right into my eyes, a black hood covering his face making it barely visible, he turned his back to me and teleported.

"What was that?" Inyu asked.

"Lightning."
