Sweet lies. Lost conversations. Stupid songs.
Hitori kept staring at the burning fort. 'I was there for you, in your darkest time.' He could feel Kakashi's body saying that to him. 'I protected you, now you must avenge my death. I kept the promise.'
"Are you ready, Hitori-san?" Eya's voice was weak, but she was doing her best to get back on the plan.
Hitori nodded. He slid his wand into the slot on the left and checked Kamiya's wand on the right. "Contact, Kyo-san. And tell me about Atama-sensei's situation. Try Akira, if you can, please."
Eya nodded, he could not see, then lifted her wand as she walked into the woods that lead to the border. Hitori glanced at the fire last one time, then turned around to follow her.
Reon was waiting for him at the point where the woods darkened and allowed them to see less in the dark.
