Chapter 040
Unreleased Pain
The next morning Akita wakes up and sees Kingsman isn't sleeping next to her and she thinks
"I'll do whatever it takes to help you, please just give me the chance" Akita gets up and leaves there room and goes down stairs but as she gets to the bottom of the stairs she's *shocked* as she sees a table full of food and Kingsman sitting at it with a *smile* on his face and He stands up and walks over to her and says
“Good morning beautiful” Akita is *shocked* and says
“K-Kingsman!?'' Kingsman says
“The one and only” He walks back to the table and sits down but he doesn’t eat any of the food and everyone comes downstairs and sees the food and everyone rushes over and sits down and everyone starts eating and Kingsman grabs some meat and gives it to Tadashi and Tadashi takes the meat out of Kingsman’s hand and sits next to Hana and starts eating but as Akita sits down and starts eating as well she notices Kingsman hasn't eaten any food at all and after everyone’s done eating Hana *smiles* and says
“That was really good mommy!” Akita says
“I didn’t make it, your father did” Hana says
“Daddy, this food was very good!” Kingsman says
“Thank you, Little One” Hana says
“When are you going to teach me how to cook, Daddy?” Kingsman says
“Your Mother is a far better cook than I am, if you should ask anyone to help you it should be her” Hana turns to Akita and says
“Mommy, can you teach me to cook?” Akita says
“Of course I can” Hana says
“I want to make everyone pancakes, the ones Daddy likes” Akita says
“When your big enough to see over the stove then I’ll teach you how to make them, but until then let’s start off with cold food” Hana says
“Ok” Kenji *laughs* and says
“After this much food I don’t think I’ll be able to train for a few days” Kingsman says
“That’s fine, your body does need time to process to much of something” Everyone’s *shocked* and Dai gets *angry* and says
“What!? No he’s not skipping training!” Kenji says
“Yeah, dad it was a joke” Kingsman says
“Either way it’s fine, if you wish not to train today” Kingsman *smiles* and Dai says
“Why the hell are you smiling?” Kingsman says
“What do you mean?” Dai says
“You're smiling harder than usual, what the hell is wrong with you?” Kingsman says
“I’m saying if you feel like you don’t want to do something, you don’t have to” Kingsman stands up and walks towards the backdoor and Akita says
“Wait Kingsman, where are you going?” Hana says
“Can I come with you Daddy?” Akita says
“No, go and play with Tadashi upstairs” Hana says
“But I want to go with Daddy” Akita says
“You can go with him later” Hana *pouts* and walks upstairs as Tadashi follows behind her and Kingsman says
“I am just going to the village to take a walk” Kingsman walks out the back door but Akita walks over to the back door and steps outside as she says
“Kingsman, can we talk?” Kenji,Itsuki, and Dai walk out behind Akita as well and Kingsman says
“I know what you're going to say, but I’m alright. I’m letting myself feel” Akita says
“I understand that, but your not acting like yourself” Kingsman says
“Sometimes people need to change their minds to help themselves heal” But Dai walks past Akita and tries to punch Kingsman but Itsuki catches his fist and summons his sword and points it at Dai and says
“What the hell are you doing!?” But Dai snatches his hand away from Itsuki and Dai sits on the ground and Dai says
“I’m not going anywhere” Itsuki says
“Dai, you–” Kingsman says
“It’s fine, he can choose whatever he wants to do” Dai says
“See! I won’t follow this, this is not my Sensei! This isn’t the man that I respected so much I would sacrifice my life for!” Itsuki is *confused* and looks at Kingsman as he says
“Sensei, are you sure you’re ok?” Kingsman says
“Yes, as a matter of fact Itsuki you stay with Akita and Dai” Itsuki is *shocked* and says
“I…Yes Sensei” Kingsman turns around and walks down the hill and Kenji turns to Akita and says
“Don’t worry mom, I’ll get dad back to normal” Akita says
"Just be careful, I've never seen your father like this before" Kenji runs up to Kingsman and as there walking down the hill, Kenji says
“Father, we all know you're not ok. We know your hurting inside” Kingsman says
“I am, but you all have nothing to worry about” Kenji says
“You look uneasy, you never smile that much” Kingsman says
“You don’t have to worry about me, I am your father. I will worry about you” As they make it to the village they see Kaito and Gyomei talking and Kingsman and Kenji walk up to them and Kingsman says
“What’s going on?” Kaito says
“The Kyo clan are getting rowdy again” Kenji is *confused* and says
“Who? I've never heard of that clan?” Gyomei says
“The Kyo clan are a clan full of blacksmiths and swordsmen behind the village, the weapons they make are almost always worth the trouble they cause. They even made Lord Kaito’s blade” Kenji is *shocked* and says
“Uncle, you have a sword?” Kaito *chuckles* and says
“Oh yes, but I haven’t used that thing in years though” Kingsman says
“Then let’s go talk to them” Gyomei says
“I’m sorry my lords, but I need to go check on Saigo. I haven’t heard from him all day” Kaito says
“It’s fine, go” Gyomei runs off as Kingsman,Kenji, and Kaito walk out the front gate of the village and walk around the left side of the village and they stop as they make it behind the village but Kenji doesn’t see anything but open space for miles and Kenji says
“Where are they? Are you sure we're in the right spot?” Kaito *chuckles* and says
“I believe so” Kaito snaps and everything in front of them starts distorting and disappearing and Kenji is *shocked* as he sees a giant forest in front of them and Kenji says
“What was that?” Kaito says
“It’s an illusion I put up to make sure they never wandered too far and tried to attack anyone outside of the village” Everyone starts walking through the forest and as there walking through the forest Kenji looks around in *amazement* and says
“Wow, I didn’t even know this forest was back here. I thought I had gotten good at detecting illusions and being able to see through them” Kaito *chuckles* and says
“This is not your ordinary illusions, mine are a bit stronger than everyone else's. Plus there are things behind the village that most people don’t need to see or experience, there are dangerous creatures, caves, sinkholes, and thieves” Kenji is *shocked* and says
“Thieves? Why don’t we stop them?” Kaito says
“That’s what we’re about to do” Kenji says
“So the Kyo clan are thieves?” Kaito says
“Yes and no, It’s a complicated thing. Technically they were here before either of our clans were, and they had a claim on the land before us but they couldn’t defend it. Plus they wouldn’t accept a peace treaty and when they challenged us they lost, but they proved to be very valuable and we allowed them to stay in the region. For a short time they even lived in the villages with us, but over time they isolated themselves from everyone and just started sending the villages weapons during the war. But after the war was over we told them there was no need to create weapons on a mass scale as they once were, and over time everyone forgot about them and I believe they’ve even started to forget who they once were due to the isolation” Kenji says
“Can we help them and bring a couple of them back to the village?” Kaito says
“We can try and get them back into calm mind and get them to stop killing people, but it’ll be a long time before I ever allow them in the villages again” Kenji says
“But why? If they need help and we can help them, why don’t we?” Kaito says
“These people are dangerous, with all this isolation they could have fully lost their minds. They could have told their grandchildren fake stories about why they were isolated from the other villages and made us out to be villains” Kenji says
“But why would they do that?” Kingsman says
“To most…We were, we killed hundreds of them. Cut their numbers down by the thousands within two days, we were ruthless!” Kenji is *shocked* and says
“Why?” Kingsman says
“Because we had to be, back then peace was never an option. It was kill or be–” Kingsman stops in his tracks and Kenji and Kaito turn around and look at Kingsman as he looks *stunned* and Kingsman's heart starts to rapidly beat and Kenji walks up to Kingsman and says
“Dad, are you ok?” But Kingsman doesn’t even look at him until he grabs Kingsman’s arm and Kingsman looks down at Kenji and Kenji says
“Are you ok?” Kingsman says
“Yes…I was just lost in my thoughts” Kingsman,Kenji, and Kaito continue to walk and Kenji says
“Ok, what if we slowly rehabilitate them and slowly bring them into the village? Then we’ll have great blacksmiths to teach our younger generations how to make amazing weapons. Making our village even safer for the future” Kaito *chuckles* and says
“You truly are determined to help whoever you can no matter what, I truly respect that about you" Kenji says
"That's because most people truly aren't bad people at heart, there just hurt. Most people don't want to see that in people because of how they act, but I know there better people at heart" Kaito *smiles* and says
"Fine, we can try and rehabilitate a few of them. But if they are too far gone we will have to put a stop to it” Kenji says
“Deal, and I’ll–” Kenji stop speaking as men with swords walk out of the trees and surround them on all sides and One of them says
“Give us your money!'' Kenji says
“Wait, we’re here to help you” But One of them *laughs* and says
“We’re not the ones who need help, now give us the money!” Kaito activates his Icy Sun flames on his hands and says
“I promise this is not a fight you want” One of them screams
“THE HELL WE DON’T!” One of them rushes towards Kaito but as he lifts his sword into the air his hand falls off and the man looks at his severed hand in *shock* and Kaito is also *shocked* and he turns around and looks at Kingsman and sees his darkness surging all over him, while he’s staring at the ground but as Kingsman looks up, Kaito steps back *stunned* as he sees Kingsman's eyes are red and all of the men start backing up in *fear* and Kenji turns to look at Kingsman but Kaito puts his hand near Kenji's face and burns his flames brighter blinding Kenji and Kenji falls to the ground *holding his eyes in pain* and Kaito throws Kenji into a bush but as he turns back around all he sees are the severed limbs of the men but as he looks at Kingsman, Kingsman is holding one of the men by their necks and the man is *shaking with fear* and Kaito says
“Kingsman stop!” But Kingsman covers his hand in darkness and grabs the mans face and suddenly hundreds of black rods start protruding from all across his body and the man's *screams of pain* are muffled by Kingsman hand and Kingsman pulls him close and whispers
“You will beg for death, but never receive it” Kingsman throws him on the ground and Kaito grabs Kingsman’s shoulder and says
“Kingsman, this isn’t you!” Kingsman slowly turns and looks him in his eyes but Kaito is *shocked* looking directly into Kingsman's red eyes and Kaito backs up and deactivates his Icy Sun flames and puts his hands up and says
“Please Kingsman, this isn’t you. You’re better than this” Kingsman falls to his knees holding his head and his darkness starts to slowly disappear from around him and as he looks up Kaito sees Kingsman eyes are back to normal and Kingsman says
“I know, I’m sorry. But...I’m back now” Kaito says
“Are you sure? You seem like your losing yourself” Kingsman says
“I’m fine, I just…Need a second'' Kaito puts his hand out and Kingsman takes it but as Kaito pulls Kingsman back to his feet he starts hearing the bushes he threw Kenji in start rustling and Kaito slams his feet on the ground scattering all of the severed limbs across the forest and launching the man on the ground into the forest and Kenji walks out of the bush with his hand still covering his face and Kaito says
“I’m sorry Kenji, one of th-” Kaito and Kingsman are both *shocked* as Kenji removes his hands from his face and they see he has burn scars around his eyes as there partially open and Kaito says
“No! Kenji, I’m sorry I didn't mean to blind you!” Kingsman grabs Kenji face and says
“Boy, are you ok!?” Kenji slowly fully opens his eyes and says
“At first the pain was unbearable, but now the pain is starting to numb” Kingsman says
"Can you see?" Kenji says
"It's really blurry, but I can still see" Kingsman takes one of his hands off of Kenji's face as his darkness covers his hand and he looks at it but he closes his hand and says
"We need to get you back to the village now!" Kenji says
"No, we have to deal with the Kyo clan urgently. They need more help than I do" Kingsman says
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
"Boy, you could lose you sight!" Kenji says
"Dad, I'll be fine. If I can last five minutes without losing my sight it can wait another twenty minutes, as warriors we must focus on a mission" Kingsman says
"Bo-" Kenji says
"Please father, right after we're done I'll go straight to the hospital. Ok?" Kingsman punches the ground destroying the ground around them and Kenji is *shocked* by the shaking and looks around and says
"What was that!?" Kingsman says
"All right, but tell me if your eyes start burning again" Kenji says
"Ok, but where’d those guys go? And why did Uncle Kaito yell for you to stop?” Kaito says
“Uhh–” Kingsman says
“They ran off and I was about to chase them, but Kaito stopped me” Kenji *laughs* and says
“Probably because of how ugly you are, you can’t just walk up on people with a face like that'' Kingsman slowly *smiles* but he punches Kenji in the stomach and Kenji drops down to his knees and Kingsman says
“I am the most handsome man in the universe” Kenji *chuckles* and says
“Compared to every dog, sure you do” Kingsman pulls him up by his shirt but before he can do anything Kaito *laughs* and Kingsman drops Kenji and says
“You think that’s funny, Emi looks like a fish!” Kaito says
“At least my child can fight” Kingsman says
“My son would beat your daughter” Kaito says
“My daughter would beat both of you with one hand” Kenji stands up and him and Kingsman both look at each other and *smiles* and they both punch Kaito in the stomach dropping him to his knees and Kingsman says
“You ready?” Kenji says
“Always” Kingsman walks behind Kaito and kicks him in the back making him fall onto his face and Kingsman and Kenji both grab each of Kaito’s legs and run forward down the path dragging him right outside of the Kyo clan hideout and Kingsman and Kenji both let go and Kaito slowly gets up and he looks *mad* but Kingsman and Kenji are both *laughing* as Kaito spits out dirt he erupts into his Icy Sun Flames but as Kaito takes a step towards him, Kingsman says
“You might want to handle the threat in front of us right now” Kaito stops and says
“Your right, we’ll handle this later” Kingsman,Kenji,and Kaito walks towards the hideout but as they get close to the gate five warriors drop down and surround them and Kingsman rushes one of them with such speed none of them can react and Kingsman swings his sword towards one of their necks but he stops right before he cuts the man’s head off and his hands are shaking and he’s breathing heavily and thinks
“This isn’t me...Calm down!” Kingsman puts his sword back into his hand and one of them tries to punch Kingsman but Kenji catches his fist and kicks him in the stomach sliding him back and Kaito hands erupt into his Icy Sun Flames and he rushes up and punches two of them in the gut dropping the two of them to the floor and Kenji freezes two of them in place but Kingsman is still just staring at the man in front of him and Kingsman grabs his face and says
“I’ll give you a three second head start” The Man says
“What–” Kingsman says
“One!” The Man is *shocked* as Kingsman's darkness surges behind him and The man starts running through the forest and as he's running, he thinks
“It's them, there the ones the elders warned us about! They're back to kill the rest of us, but I know this forest like the back of my hand. There’s no way there catching up to me” The Man starts quickly moving through the trees but as he looks to his right he’s *shocked* as he sees Kingsman keeping pace with him while he’s walking and as he looks to his left Kaito is also walking and keeping pace with him and as he looks back Kenji is running close behind him and The Man screams and runs faster and he looks behind and sees Kaito and Kingsman walking while Kenji is running in between them but as he’s looking at them he runs into a mountain knocking himself onto the ground and he slowly opens his eyes up and he sees Kingsman,Kaito, and Kenji standing over him and he crawls back and stands up and presses his back on the mountain and says
“You all won’t kill me! I won’t die here!” Kenji walks in front of Kingsman and Kaito and says
“We’re not going to kill you, we want to help you” The Man says
“You're lying, our people have told us of your brutality. About the pain the man with the cold flames and the man who controls the night has done to our people” Kenji turns around and looks at Kaito and Kingsman, Kingsman *chuckles* and whispers
“That’s actually a cool nickname, Kaito: King of the Cold Flames” Kaito *chuckles* and whispers
“Yours too, Kingsman: God of the Night” Kenji turns back around and he walks up and kneels down in front of The Man and says
“Whatever happened in the past, does not matter now. Everyone has become better people and has grown as warriors, our village no longer wishes to fight. My name is Kenji, what's your's?” The Man says
"T...Taka" Kenji says
"Ok" Kenji turns around and points at Kingsman and says
"This is my father Kingsman, and that's my uncle Kaito" Kenji turns back to Taka and says
"Honestly you shouldn't be scared of them, they're both getting soft. But I promise we truly do just wish to help" Kingsman says
“As a showing of good faith Taka, I’m going to go leave. Come back when the two of you are done” Kingsman turns around and starts walking away and Kenji turns around and says
“Ok, we’ll bring Taka back with us. He should be able to help us save everyone else” Taka thinks
"Kingsman's leaving!? Maybe this boy is really trying to help me? No! There trying to use me, just as they did my father. This boy is being used as well" Taka stands up and says
“I’m sorry, I wish it didn’t have to be this way. But I won’t let any of you trick me!” Taka pulls his sword off of his back and as he lifts it above his head, Kaito thinks
"Kenji, should be able to handle-" Kaito notices Kingsman's stopped in place and he notices Kingsman sword is slowly sliding out of the darkness on his hand and Kaito rushes up and grabs Kenji pushing him out of the way as Kingsman turns around and slash towards Taka with so much force it splits the mountain and creating a giant slash mark in the ground and Kingsman darkness starts surging all over him and screams
"I'M GOING TO KILL EVERYONE OF THEM!" Kaito gets to his feet and rushes towards Kingsman as he says
“Wait Kingsman d–” But Kaito and Kenji are blown away by the force and speed that Kingsman moves destroying the forest around them but Kaito gets back to his feet and picks Kenji up and says
“We have to go!” Kenji says
“What happened? Why did my dad say that?” Kaito says
“Your father…Is just going to fight, but we need to help him” Kaito and Kenji rushes through the forest and Kaito thinks
“Kingsman, please don’t do anything you're going to regret” Kenji thinks
“What’s going on with father? I’ve never heard him talk like that before, he was so…Hateful when he said that” As they make it out of the forest Kaito is *shocked* as he sees their hideout is still intact Kaito opens the gate to the courtyard but he still doesn’t see anyone and Kenji runs past him and up to the front door of the hideout and he puts his hand on the door but Kaito grabs his wrist and says
“I need you to stay outside” Kenji is *confused* and says
“Why? I thought we needed to help dad” Kaito says
“Uhh…I need you to make sure we don’t get sunk up on'' Kenji says
“Alright uncle, but you call me if you need me ok?” Kaito says
“Of course” Kenji jumps onto the roof and says
“I’ll keep watch from up here!” Kaito says
“Good” Kaito takes a deep breath and he walks into the hideout but is *horrified* as he sees bodies stabbed into the wall with dark rods protruding from all over there bodies and bodies all over the floor missing heads and other limbs and Kaito throws up from the brutality of it all and he stumbles out of the house closing the door behind him and Kenji drops down and sees Kaito looking sick and Kenji is *shocked* and says
“Are you ok?” Kaito says
“Yes, it's just…They smoke a lot in there, so I just need to catch my breath” Kenji says
“Was my father in there?” Kaito says
“No, we’ll need to go back to your house” Kenji says
“Do you still need a second or can we go now?” Kaito says
“No I’m good, we can go now” Kaito and Kenji start running back to the village Kaito is still picturing the gruesome sight he saw and as they make it back into the village, Kenji says
“Do you think my Father is at home?” Kaito says
“I think so, you go ahead and I’ll catch up with you” Kenji runs up the hill back to his house but Kaito walks into a bar and up to The Bartender and The Bartender says
"Wow, I haven't seen you here in a truly long time. What could I get you my lord?" Kaito says
“Give me a bottle of your strongest sake!” The Bartender is *shocked* and says
"Are you sure my lord? I usually keep all of those for Kingsman" Kaito looks in The Bartender's eyes and says
"The sake, now!" The Bartender is *shocked* and says
“Of course my lord!” The Bartender hands him a bottle of sake with a purple leaf on it and says
“This is the strongest Sake we have my lord” Kaito takes the bottle of sake and says
“Thank you!” Kaito chugs some of the sake but The Bartender takes the bottle and says
"I understand you maybe going through a lot, but unless you wish to forget the entire month I wouldn't advise you drink anymore" The Bartender sits the sake on the counter and Kaito wipes his mouth and says
"I'm sorry for my anger, it's just...Been a long day" The Bartender says
"That's alright my lord, you are far from the first person to ever speak to me like that. Plus with how stressful your job is even you need to blow off steam every now and again" Kaito says
"I truly appreciate you, for all you do around the village. Especially how you deal with the drunk irrational people" The Bartender *laughs* and says
"The leader of the village thanking me for everything I do around the village! I should be thanking you for everything you do to keep this village up and safe" Kaito holds his face and thinks
"Damn, this sake works fast. I've almost completely forgot where I was going, I have to find Kingsman" Kaito walks to the door of the bar but he turns around and says
"Thank you...Aokiji" Aokiji *smiles* and says
"It's what I do my lord, anytime you need to speak just come back and talk to me" Kaito walks out of the bar and down to the base of the hill and he thinks
"If anything happens, I have to be ready" Kaito walks up the hill and as he makes it into Kingsman's backyard, he sees Akita looking at Kenji face as Itsuki and Dai are training near the edge of the forest but Kaito is *shocked* as he notices the scars across his eyes are almost completely gone and Kaito thinks
"This kid is...Incredible" Kaito walks up to Kenji and puts his hand on Kenji's shoulder and says
“Kenji, you should take them both down” Kenji *smiles* and says
“Got it!” Kenji rushes up as Dai and Itsuki clash punches Kenji tackles both of them into the forest and Kaito turns to Akita and says
“Is Kingsman here?” Akita says
“Yes, but when he got here he seemed kind of upset. Is everything ok?” Kaito says
“He…Lost control and killed the entire Kyo clan” Akita is *shocked* and says
“What!?” Kaito says
“At first I could feel him getting better and controlling himself more. But as we we’re talking to a man, he said a statement and I could sense Kingsman snap. But if anyone could bring him back it would be you. He may wear that smile on his face, but he is broken worse than he’s ever been before. Akita please help him” But suddenly a shock wave shakes everything and Kaito is *shocked* and says
“He’s vulnerable right now, every other time he’ll have his guard up. But right now his emotions and his darkness are surging, if you're able to help him heal now you’ll truly help him more than ever. Please save him from himself” Akita says
“Ok, thank you Kaito!” Akita turns and walks into the house but the shock waves become worse and she also notices the door to the basement is cracked open and she walks towards the door but as another shock wave shakes everything all the drawers pop out and all the utensils fall on the floor but Akita notices The Cursed Kunai stabs into the ground and she picks it up and thinks
"This is the kunai Kingsman gave to Riku! I'll keep it...Just in case" Akita picks up all the utensils and puts them away and she walks over to the basement door but she stops before she opens it and breaths slowly and she opens the door but as she steps through the threshold of the door the shock waves get worse and as she walks down the stairs they get stronger and as she makes it to the bottom she's *confused* but suddenly she feels the shaking coming from a wall even stronger and she puts her hand out towards it but her hand phases through it and she steps through it and she sees thousands of dead Creatures all around and she sees Kingsman beating a lifeless body of The Creature and as he punches The Creature and the shock wave almost sends her flying back and she screams
“KINGSMAN!” He stops his fist in the air and she walks up to him while his back is turned and her hands are shaking as she puts The Cursed Kunai up to Kingsman’s back and she turns her head and tries to push The Cursed Kunai into Kingsman's back but she can’t bring herself to push The Cursed Kunai forward but suddenly a dark hand emerges from behind her and rest on top of her hands and it guides her hand pushing The Cursed Kunai into Kingsman’s back but Kingsman punches The Creature again pushing Akita back and making The Cursed Kunai fall out of his back and Akita says
“Kingsman, look at me” Kingsman *yells in anger* as his darkness starts surging all over him and he screams
"I FAILED YOU! RIKU!" Kingsman continues yelling and as he does everything starts shaking extremely violently and cracking the ground and walls all around them and Kingsman keeps relentlessly beating the dead body making Akita fall onto her back and she's *shocked* as Kingsman screams
"EVERYTHING I TOUCH DIES! I AM NOTHING!" As Kingsman raises his fist his entire arm morphs becoming bigger with spikes protruding from it and Kingsman slams his fist into the body and with every strike more of Kingsman body starts morphing becoming bigger and more distorted but Akita gets to her feet and says
“Please Kingsman just look at me!” Kingsman turns around and looks into her eyes and Akita is *shocked* as Kingsman's eyes start changing color and Kingsman screams
"LEAVE!" And Akita is shaking but she doesn't move and Kingsman turns around and starts walking into the distance but Akita screams
"STOP!" She runs after him but suddenly one of The Creatures drop down in front of her and she's *shocked* and The Creature grabs her wrist and starts pulling her away from Kingsman and she tries to pull The Creature's hand off of her wrist but she can't and she turns around and says
"Kingsman stop!" But as Kingsman gets farther away, Akita turns to The Creature and punches it in the face sending it flying back and she looks at Kingsman but suddenly hundreds of Creatures drop down in front of her and Akita notices The Cursed Kunai on the ground and she picks it up and she sees Kingsman still walking away and she screams
"KINGSMAN, STOP MOVING!" Akita rushes all of The Creature's and as she stabs one of them it's absorbed into The Cursed Kunai and Akita starts fighting through all of them and she screams
"KINGSMAN, DON'T DO THIS! DON'T LEAVE!" And Akita jumps on top of one of The Creature's head launching herself towards Kingsman but one of The Creature jump up and grab her legs and drags her to the ground and she tries to get up but all of The Creature starts piling on top of her pinning her down and as she notices through the thick crowd of Creatures Kingsman is still walking away from her and she says
"Kingsman, please! I need you...Help me!" Suddenly all of The Creatures are ripped off of her and as she looks up she sees Kingsman killing and ripping apart all of The Creatures and throwing them away and as Kingsman slams the last Creature into the ground, Kingsman stares at his hands and Akita puts her hand on his back and she says
"It's ok, I'm here for you. I'm not going anywhere" Kingsman turns around and looks at Akita and he body starts returning back to normal and as it does Kingsman drops to his knee still staring at his hand and says
“I failed to protect him! After how much he trusted me I allowed this to happen, I don’t deserve to be a Sensei” Akita crouches down to his level and holds his face and says
“No, you are the best Sensei and this was a mistake. But you're still an amazing Sensei, It wasn’t your fault” Kingsman eyes starts tearing up and says
“There is no one else to blame. There is no greater shame for a Sensei, than losing one of his students” Akita says
“I know it hurts losing a student but—“ Kingsman says
“ No! It was truly much more than that, Riku had so much life left to live and I allowed it to be taken away. I threw him into a situation he was drastically unprepared for and I face no consequences, I single handedly caused the death of my son. A son who I failed as a father...If a father can't protect his son than what kind of man is he” Kingsman sheds a tear but he clenches his fist causing a shock wave that pushes Akita off of him and his eyes turn fully bloodshot red and Kingsman *screams in anger* and a rift opens up right in front of him and multiple Creature's step out of the rift and Kingsman stands up and absorbs his darkness but he puts his arms out leveling his body completely exposed and Akita is *shocked* as The Creatures starts punching Kingsman all over his body but he's not fighting back and with the more punches they land the more cuts open up across Kingsman's body and Akita gets up and jumps in front of Kingman and all of the fist stop right before hitting Akita and Akita looks back and she's *shocked* as she sees all of The Creature's have been decapitated and all of there bodies lifelessly fall to the ground and Akita looks at Kingsman as she says
“Kingsman, please let me help you!” Kingsman looks down at her and she hugs him extremely tight and says
“I know it hurt, but I’m here for you. I’ll always be here for you” Akita looks up at him and notices his eyes have changed back to normal and Kingsman says
“I’ve never felt like this Akita, I don’t know what to do. It’s as if my body’s reacting on it—” But he stops speaking as Akita stabs him in the stomach with The Cursed Kunai and Kingsman looks down in *shock* and as he looks back up at her, he notices she's holding back tears and Kingsman says
“Ak—” But Kingsman falls onto his back passing out and She *cries* as she says
“I’m sorry, but I knew you were losing the fight with your darkness because of Riku’s death and I know this will help” Akita holds Kingsman in her arms.
At the same time Goto is walking through the bamboo and Kono stumbles out of the bamboo and falls onto Goto and Goto is *shocked* and says
“Kono? What the hell happened to you?” Kono says
“Kingsman and his children…They were too much for us to handle” Goto says
“What happened to everyone else?” Kono falls onto the ground and starts coughing but Goto grabs him by his throat and screams
“WHAT HAPPENED!?” Kono grabs Goto's wrist and says
"Get your hands off of me!" Goto lifts Kono into the air and slams him back into the ground as he screams
"ANSWER ME!" Kono struggles to breath but he says
“What the hell do you think happened?” Goto says
“Where is Matsuno? WHERE IS HIRONAKA!?” Kono says
“Him and Matsuno...Were both killed by Kingsman” Goto is *shocked* and he lets go of Kono’s neck and paces back and forth until Goto *yells in anger* and screams
“YOU BASTARD!” Kono says
“Shut up, before you attract their attention. We need to get out of here and tell lord Kai” Goto says
“I’m going to kill him, even if it's the last thing I do. Hironaka I promise you, I'm going to kill him” Kono says
“They were both useless anyways we need to—" But he’s interrupted by Goto stomping him in the chest pushing him into the ground and as his eyes start to close he sees a dark silhouette of Goto but it changes into a smaller person and Goto says
“Don’t disrespect…My team!”
At the same time Akita drags Kingsman out of the basement by his arm and into the kitchen but Itsuki,Dai,and Kenji walk through the back door and Itsuki sees Akita trying to drag Kingsman and he rushes up and says
“What happened?” Akita says
“It’s alright, he’s fine” Dai walks up and sees The Cursed Kunai in Kingsman’s stomach and is *confused* and says
“Did you stab Sensei?” Itsuki notices The Cursed Kunai and gets *angry* and says
“Why would you stab Sensei!? All of you are just turning on him! How could you!?” Itsuki summons his sword and he points it at her and Akita is *shocked* and says
“No, it’s not like that Itsuki!'' But as he is about to walk towards her, Kenji touches his back freezing his lower body and Kenji walks up to Akita and says
“Mom, what’s going on?” Akita says
“Your father was destroying himself and he needed help. His mind was moving to fast and his darkness started to take over him and I wanted to help him clear his mind” Kenji says
“I could sense he was hiding something, and I could even slightly feel his anger surging” Kenji walks up to Kingsman and grabs his arm and Kenji looks back at Dai and Itsuki and says
“If you both really care about our father that much then you wouldn’t want him getting stabbed by the floor” The ice around Itsuki shatters and Itsuki and Dai help them carry Kingsman to his bed and as they sit him into his bed, Kenji says
“How long will you keep him like this?” Akita says
“I don’t know, but I want to help him. I just don’t really know how” Dai says
“If Sensei is grieving and his darkness affects him the more he allows his emotions to control him, wouldn’t putting him to sleep be worse because now he can’t resist the effects of his darkness” Akita says
“Not if I keep his mind clear and calm” Akita sits on the bed and cradles Kingsman’s head in her lap and Kenji looks at Dai and Itsuki and says
“I think now is when we leave” Dai says
“Yeah” Dai leaves the room but Itsuki is just staring at Akita and Kenji says
“He’s fine, let’s go” But Itsuki doesn’t move and Kenji walks to the door and says
“Father wouldn’t want you to see him like this” Kenji leaves the room and Itsuki *sighs* but he also leaves the room and closes the door behind him and Akita while shes holding Kingsman’s head in her lap and says
“I love you, and I’m sorry. But I hope you truly understand I had to do this”
