Hitori held his breath as Kyoryu guided him to stand on his knees and be alert. He glance don his right and saw Kakashi making the effort to stand.
Tengoku had commanded his men to cock their guns. Kyoryu had told Eya to do whatever she was going to do.
Hitori held his hands forward, then rested them over the sofa. The darkness had faded to an extent, he could see the men on the front lines and the assault rifles they were holding.
"Set your guns, boys!" Tengoku shouted, "and blow this fucking house!"
His men cheered in response– they were like angry beasts ready to let loose.
"Fi—" Then his voice faded– no, it was not fading. His voice came to a sudden stop, like applying brakes.
Hitori raised his head from the sofa's cover and saw what had stopped Tengoku. He saw something gleaming, then glowing, and now shining in the dark. That bright shine seemed to be everywhere.
