Tobayashi didn’t care for his own life. Not anymore. His current goal was to save those that he cared most about. He knew that he would never be capable of doing that on his own, even with his skill where it was. No, He needed the help of his sister. She had come, and he knew it. The fight was quickly deteriorating. There were just to many of the enemy, and even though they were anything but a challenge, they never stopped coming. Kill one and five would take it’s place. Then there was Gojiroki. Tobayashi’s long time rival, although at one time they had been good friends, but not on this night. Tobayashi stood against Ayame’s back. He cared for her so, yet here she was, stuck in hell with him. Now standing before Tobayashi was Gojiroki. He knew that he would have to take this battle away from Ayame and the others, otherwise Gojiroki would use them against him. He couldn’t have that. Tobayashi charged at him, gazing over his shoulder to see Ayame disappear in the arms of his sister, Ryoka. ‘Good’ He thought. ‘They’re safe..’. Now he could end this.

Their battle raged on, pressing further into the woods. Flames lashed out at them ‘They actually set the forest on fire. The fools.’ It was funny to Tobayashi. He saw now how much his skill had truly increased. There was a time when he and Gojiroki were at the same skill level, and now, Tobayashi was easily running circles around him, With a wounded arm no less. Gojiroki knew it too and he was getting frustrated. Tobayashi could win this fight, and return to them. Return to her. He lunged out at Gojiroki, and he barely avoided the lunge. Tobayashi slid to a halt and turn to face Gojiroki. Tobayashi gaze quickly over his shoulder, a cliff. He was pressed against a cliff... This would be the last round of attacking...

He look back to see Gojiroki charging him. “You dishonorable fool!” Tobayashi growled, running at him. Gojiroki scored a hit, his katana slid through Tobayashi’s already wounded shoulder, causing more pain than necessary. However Gojiroki lost his sword hand. He fell to one knee screaming out in pain, Tobayashi look past him to the soldiers that stood before him. He would have to fight through them, wouldn’t he? “You still think you can stand up to me!? I’ve defeated your leader. Your battle with me is over. I have–“ He cut himself off as he noticed Gojiroki stand, laughing maniacally. “You! You think you WON!?” He said, almost deliriously. He was holding something in his hands, Tobayashi had seen this before. That was an explosive. “Gojiroki!!” It was too late to say much else. Gojiroki activated the explosive, and as he did Tobayashi leapt backwards. Foolish, he knew, but there was little else he could do.

Gojiroki stare at him, his eyes seemed wild. Insane. He then disappear into fire and smoke. The explosion slam into Tobayashi, sending him futher over the edge. His clothing caught fire, but was put out as he fell. Falling. There was nothing else he could do now. His right hand held tightly onto his katana, he didn’t know why. Perhaps he always knew that he would die with it in his hand. ‘I’m sorry Ayame. I wish... I wish that I could’ve come back to you. There was so much.. So much that I wanted you to know. So much I wanted to show you. I guess.. I guess that will never happen. Not now. Not ever. Please.. Please forgive me. I love-‘ Tobayashi knew nothing but darkness. Was this all there was? No after life? Just darkness.. And himself? Alone together for all eternity? He couldn’t say he was surprised.

























“Mom! He’s Still Breathing!”
