He snapped out of his thoughts when Ryu said 'common their waiting' he looked up at Ryu who seemed as cheerful as ever. "no one is waiting for me where we are going..." Kenta started to walk up the hill like it was nothing showing no emotions but inside he was dying everystep he took like a long needle peirced through his foot when he steped straight into his heart. He made it to the top of the hill where houses were all in ruin and the small village right next to the Town was deserted and Kenta said out loud "...the military..." knowing that they were the ones that cause this to happen. the shops were boarded up and roofs were caved in and some houses were even burned to the ground but the one he was looking for seemed almost intact to its fullest potential even with some burns and shingles missing he started to talk out loud again not remembering Ryu was with him as he stared at his old home "They probably realized no one was there and let it be..." he started to walk down the hill

Ryu Knew there was techinically no one waiting for him except maybe grave and was kinda happy he was getting in touch with them to get everything off of his chest but when he looked over at the city in Ruins his face went from cheerful to horrified as he saw what was left of the ghost town he Closed his eyes for a moment and then turned his attention to the lazy soliders that they had just walked by and Began yelling he dashed at the first one holding him up with one hand Tears in his eyes "YOU BASTARD!" The only thing he could think of when he saw the City was his old village in Ruins and he couldn't see another village like that he snapped Extending his Hijukio he put it right up to the soliders neck
"why....so many Innocent people..." he quickly Stabbed the blade through his jugular and into the roof of his mouth he heard a small clicking noise of the second solider pulling out his gun and whipping out his Fenrir he cut the gun in half as the Solider frightened and begged for his life Ryu's face was covered in blood "I wish..it were that easy..." he said about to stab the second solider

Kenta in a almost in a state of horror continued his walk down the hill not realizing that Ryu screamed or even attacked the two soldiers. He was stuck in a trance in his mind his eyes were wide and his heart raced as he kept taking more and more steps 'why...' he thought 'why am I continuing to walk there?...I dont want to go...but I cant stop walking' He made it to the door and remembered it all to well.
He had snapped out of the trance he was previously stuck in and started to walk up the steps of the house. When he went up a second step a vision of Komei opening the door and running towards him played in his mind he knelt down to grab his son and all Komei did was vanish. This time Kenta did not cry but got up and kept walking he did not want to show his tears...not here. He opened the door and went inside to see everything gone from the house except some garbage here and there. He walked over to the garbage and kicked it seeing if anything was left behind, he continued to move piles of the trash around with his feet until finding one thing.
It was his wifes favorite book, Kenta smiled as he picked it up and opened it blowing as much dust off as possible. He skimmed through some pages and said "hey hunny you remember when you read this to me?" with a smile on his face he turned from the book to behind him where there was no one. He turned back to the book trying to hold back his tears once more "dont play tricks on me mind...please dont...I actually thought she..." he stopped and whiped his eyes and walked to the next room book in hand. It was Komei's room where the rocketship stary wall paper was falling apart and dust filled the room. He silently went to the closet and opened the door the dust that came off the door made him sneeze and fall back abit but he reached onto the top shelf in the closet hoping he'd find something, until finely he felt something that he thought might be a teddy bear making Kenta smile.

Ryu stoof in a ppol of the soliders blood licking his face alittle as he postioned the bodies so they appeared to be sleeping as he began to sweat thinking about the Fire and of his own past he quickly Calmed himself down wiping his face and his blade clean as he walked over to the hill he watched as Kenta entered the least broken house and he slowly made his way down the hill
Upon reaching the door he quietly entered the home looking around to see a broken down place just like his was though not as damged he knoticed two large blood stains and a wore Blood trail luring over to the back door he did not follow it for he was almost afriad of what would happen of he continued he quietly sat on the Floor extending his blade and looking at it with soft eyes

When Kenta pulled his arm out of the closet with whatever was in his hands he was smiling, but what he ended up pulling out of the closet was not a stuffed animal. He pulled out a dead rat and the second he saw it he stopped smiling and dropped it on the floor kicking it back into the closet. He shut the door quick and put his back against it slowly sliding to the ground "stupid rat" he said "ruined everything" he calmed himself down and went out of the room to see Ryu sitting in the big open living room, Kenta looked at the ground and saw the blood he knelt down touched the big red stain and looked up at Ryu with tears in his eyes, he was not crying but was on the verge of doing so. Kenta looked away from both Ryu and the stain, and saw the back door in front of him he slowly moved his shaking hand towards the door handle. 'I have to do this I have gone this far there is no going back now' he stopped himself and put his arm down and put his head down "this is my biggest fear beyond this door...it will explain everything..." tears ran down his face and he started to choke up "you...may come if you like...I feel I can trust you enough..." Kenta stopped... waiting for ryu to reply as more tears came down.

Kenta felt Ryu's hand but didnt show that he acnoliged it, He pu this hand on the handle again and gulped. He didnt look at Ryu the entire time he just stared at the handle hoping the dorr would open on its own, even when he knew that it wouldnt. He twisted the knob hearing the screetch from the rust that started to build up on it, and pulled the door open he took a deep breathe and took a step outside and let out his breathe. "I...have to do this..." he said to himself, He took another step and looked around at his backyard. It never was much but dirt and equipment to work on the yard to actually make it look good.
"I never got to fixing up this yard..." he walked not waiting any longer for Ryu, he looked at the dirt and all the yard supplies "heres the lawn mower I never used and over there are where the flowers were suppose to go..." he was talking out loud not really to Ryu but more of a thinking out loud kinda thing. "ahhh and there..." he pointed to a corner next to the house where a table and some chairs sat with an umbrella laying on the ground originally supposed to go on the table. "where we had tea...and talk to one another...I loved those days...I loved everyday" He turned now facing ryu but not looking at him he walked over past ryu and touched the wall "awww boy...Komei drew on this wall all the time and man did Amy get mad..." he started to smile and laugh as he talked to himself "haha I remember one time he got caught and all Amy could do when he started to cry was hug him and say it was ok...Komei never got in trouble...he was-" Kenta stopped not realizing tears had been rolling down his face the entire time he was talking.
He went over to the other side of the yard where weeds had started to grow, he knelt down and started to take the weeds out of the two mounds in the ground where rocks were placed above the tops of them as if they were head stones. He pulled and pulled and pulled and didnt say a word didnt even think anything not until all the weeds were gone...

Ryu Stood up Quietly walking into the back yard a Cold chilling wing hit him as he saw two dirt mounds with head stones and he couldn't help but let his emotions go he had begun to cry they looked like the graves he made for his Village each one hand made by him each one a different memory he watched as he pulled the weeds from the Graves he knew they had died but he didnt think it would impact him so hard to see the mounds like that and leaned against a wall closing his eyes and he waited for Kenta to finish
"Hey kenny..." he said quietly "You know ive been thinking...." he said in a calm gentle voice "do yo-..." he stopped for a moment "Do you think you could help me?...i mean..once we get all that gold hauled for my village...you wanna help me rebuild it?....its almost like breathing life...into something old..reviving it...making it new..for people....it..its my freedom...from everything thats happend...its my Dream to make it as it once was...you don't haveta...but...you would have a place to call home if you did..."
He looked up as the wind began to blow and the leaves russled in the wind not a sound was heard but of the two in the back yard and he wondered 'I wonder if Amber ran off....i wonder....' he thought about her for several seconds and then bowed his head 'damn...she's probably wondered off as he spoke' "So...do you know...where we can get supplies..Ken..." he said trying to bring him out of the trance he was in

Kenta kept pulling the weeds as Ryu talked to him and Kenta didnt stop until Ryu stopped talking. Kenta stood up and walked over to him and put his dirt covered hand on Ryu's shoulder and said "I will help you, if you help me..." Kenta gave a little smile and said "help me pull these weeds from over there..." he pointed with his other hand using his thumb over at the graves. he continued after whiping his eyes and sniffling alittle "please? then after I show my respects we can go and get you all the money you need" Kenta smiled until he looked away and went back to pulling out more weeds from the graves.
He thought about the times he shared with his family and all the good times they had and as ryu walked over Kenta said "you...your just like him...personality wise..." he said to ryu not mentioning that he was talking about his son. He smiled when looked at ryu to try and show that he was alright but it was nothing more then a fake smile at best when he looked away he stopped and patted down the soil where he pulled out a weed so that is still looked nice.

Ryu walked through what seemed to be a garden in progress and he thought hed take the extra mile to pull weeds and post the plants that had survived the Massacure of the soilders to get ride of space he used his Hijukio to cut down most of the over grown grass that covered the yard cutting it low to ground making it look nice he pulled and planted looking over at him
"you know...im glad.....weve met....the way we did...if we hadn't...i don't think...youd still be alive...' after finishing that side of the Garden he walked to the other side and began to cut chop pull and place he felt good about it like he was rebuilding something almost as if her was rebuilding his home it made him happy knowing that with every second he worked he made the back yard look that much better and then said "ill..hold you to that..."

Kenta and Ryu had cleaned the whole yard when Kenta originally only wanted to take them out from the graves. He stood up after he was done and looked down at the two graves "I do not break promises...friend...never again ...your village will be restored, youre probably right about me as well I might have killed myself if it was anyone else comming back here" He didnt take his eyes off the graves even when talking to Ryu.
Kenta looked at his hands for a moment and how dirty they were "this isnt right" he said outloud and took off his cloak and cleaned his hands with it setting it to the side folded up next to the grave. He knelt down and put one hand on his wifes grave where the dirt was, "hey..." he said to the grave "how have you been?..." he gave a smile "Ive been trying soooo hard to stay away from here...and look at me now...you would have probably told me that the best thing to find is the one thing your running from" he gave alittle laugh as tears filled his eyes "I...Im sorry hun...I never ment.." he bit his lip to stop himself "well it...was good to see you... my sweet Amy...you should have never met me, I tried to stop you but damn your persistance ..heh.. thank you though you brought me so much joy even from your soft smile"
He gave a soft smile himself as the tears reached his lips "I love you hun" he stood up and looked over at the grave next to his wifes and went over to it and knelt down just like before and he gave a kiddish smile as he looked at it "hey kid...miss me?" he placed his hand on the dirt like before "I wish I could take you to the park one last time I know you would have liked that..." the tears kept falling from his eyes as he spoke "I hope you feel loved because I have cried alot for you" he gave alittle laugh to himself
"you meant the world to me and I dont even think you knew how much...if only I could hug you again...both of he" he gave a glance to the other grave. "Ill come back and see you again sometime ...I promise...I wont break this promise komei...not like...the last one" he held his head low and his tears hit the dirt and Kenta started to bawl sobbing and tears flowing from his eyes he cried so hard he couldnt make sound like something was comming up from his throat, He cried so hard it hurt him.
He held himself up with both hands on the grave and screamed "KOMEI!!!...IM SO SORRY!!..." he clentched the dirt in his hands "I SHOULD HAVE NEVER LEFT!!....I SHOULD HAVE NEVER SAID THOSE THINGS TO YOU EITHER IT WAS A PROMISE I COU-" he stopped and stood up slowly "couldnt....keep...my son" He started to stagger and lose his balance all the yelling and crying made him weak and everything around his became fuzzy "ko...mei..." he started to fall over

Ryu Stood up quick as lighting catching the staggering man he tried to cheer him up "hey..Don't cry so much...your gonna...step on the newly...planted flowers..." his hands were dirty as he restored the Garden to almost new condition and held his hands close to Kentas chest to stop him from moving he looked over at the grave making a simple Cross in mid air
He then whispered into Kenta ear "Don't...you worry....soon...everything will be alright...i promise..." he was trying to calm him down he didn't want him to hurt somone or himself so he just held him there thinking about his family and his parents and then turned walking him back into the broken house hoping taking him away from the graves would soothe him alittle and said softly "if..you want....we can use some of the gold..to rebuild...this house.."

Kenta fell to the floor when they entered the house and he put his hands to his face trying to stop himself from crying anymore. He listened to Ryu and whiped his eyes looking at his soaked sleeve "this will be the last time...I come here I beleive, because death surrounds me...and it will get to me before I can see them once again" He stood up and staggered alittle but made it to his feet and started walking to his bedroom even though it was the last place he wanted to be. He entered the room and saw the blood stained corner giving him the memories of his son and wife even with wanting to cry he had no more tears within him to cry out. He went over to the closet and opened it up, it was probably the cleanest part of the room and the only one left untouched.
Kenta reached around the top shelf hoping to find something until finally feeling something cold. It was the key he kept for the hatch leading into the crawl space in the back, he took the key and left the room as quick as possible. going out the backdoor again making sure to not look at the graves and went over to the cellar and put the key into the lock unlocking it. He opened the cellar and went down into it trying to find a light switch or something to make the light work.

Ryu Watched the Torn man quietly not saying a word as he went into the other room he heard a few strange noises then as he walked outside he followed him closely as they went down into the dark cellar he studied everything as he walked behind him he waited for the light and then said "Kenta..what are....we doing down here..." Ryus eyes glowed alittle in the dark he waited paitently for the light to turn on even though he could practically make out most things in the cellar he devoted most of his life to the darkness

Kenta kept looking for the string to pull to turn on the light and then after acouple minutes he had found it. He turned on the light and looked around at all the things he had previously put in there, trying to find what he was looking for. The room was filled with boxes and all sorts of items from holiday things to boxes with things written on them. Kenta went over to the wall with all the boxes and started to read off what they said on them in his mind 'baby cloths...no...holiday ornaments...no...' he kept looking until finally finding the boxes he wanted.
He set them off to the side and opened the box that said Komei on it, rumaging through all the stuff until finding a backpack, Komei's baby blanket, and a sketch pad. He closed that box and put it back where it was going to the next box he opened it and pulled out folders that each had there own specific pictures in them. Kenta found the one he wanted and opened the folder that said 'family' he gave alittle smile and stuck the folder in the backpack along with the blanket. He reached back into the box and couldnt help but take the folder filled with pictures of his wife and Komei's folder as well.
He put all the folders in his bag and put it on his back adjusting it to fit him, then putting the box back where it was. He put out his arm to show Ryu the way out and they left the cellar Kenta made sure to lock it before leaving the house though...'its the only thing I have left' he thought locking it. He stood up ater locking the cellar and looked over at Ryu with a slight smile "ok ready to go?...I...will explain everything to you in time...its the least I could do for you getting me to smile again"
