Butterfly Code

A soft chuckle sounded from the other side of the code wall, causing the boy to turn his red stare back to the codes. "You're lonely, eh?" The man's voice said, removing his hand as the boy was distracted. He then pressed into the circle of codes, revealing himself as a black cloaked man, the ends of the fabric torn to shreds, revealing white boots. The man wore a white rabbit mask that held a frown on it, a scythe held up on his back. His hair was hidden by the shadows of his black hood, but a few sandy-brown strands stuck out here and there. "Aki, do you want to go where the people are?" The man asked, his mask bobbing in a motion that showed it was he who was speaking to the butterfly child. "Yes, I'd do anything." The boy said, a small spark of life flashing in his eyes. A slight snicker of amusement parted from the man's lips, but it didn't effect the naked boy at all. He was set on this. "Alright, you can play the game Aki. But you'll never get to go back to them again. When the game is over it dies, and so do you Aki. Do you understand?" The words the man gave the boy held a soft hint of concern. The blonde child nodded his head quickly, smiling as his tears streamed down from his pale red eyes, cheeks flushing in a soft pink color. "I understand. Thank you." The boy said, his voice gained more emotion as he stood up shakily and pulled the man's head down, kissing the mask that covered his face.
