The demon had seen her get struck by his sword, piercing her through the stomach. He grinned, but was shocked when he saw her come for him, swinging her sword. How could she still be moving?! He yelled as Agito struck him along the neck and chest, cutting him open. He stumbled slightly, and fell to his side, dead.
Reo heard the final man die, and he could easily smell Akina's blood. Standing weakly, he struggled walking to the doorway. He looked out at Akina, seeing that she was impaled. The wound would be fatal for a human, it was iffy for a demon. He walked weakly out to Akina, he was going to try and help her inside the house, and help her wounds. They were seeing each other's wounds too much lately.

Akina looked over at Reo seeing him come out. She looked back to the ground pulling the sword from her with a cry of pain. she dropped it to the ground standing up and picking Agito up from the ground. She walked toward him one had on the wound on her stomach and the other dragging Agito behind her. " We should leave", she said eyes narrowed trying to get the pain to stop.

"You know we can't." He went to Akina, and he grabbed her arm, beginning to help her towards the house. He picked up Ravager, and carried it wearily with him, helping Akina into the house. He set Ravager down, and he would take Agito from her, placing it by Ravager. He looked at her wound that was bleeding badly from both exits. He motions for her to lay down. "We'll leave by tomorrow afternoon.."
He searches through the bag for more bandages, and after Akina had lay down, he began taking off her armor to get to the wounds and bandage them.

" I know I just like hearing myself talk", she said shaking his hand from her arm. " I don't need help", she said walking into the house, grabbing an arrow from her armor and tossing it to the ground. she sat back on the ground tired now. " You know im suppose to be the one taking care of you right now", she said snickering to herself trying to make it look as if she wasn't hurt. " your worse off than I am so go rest or something you slow people do"

He thwacked her head soundly, and snarled. "You wouldn't be in this mess if you wouldn't have helped me. You should have just went on with life and let me go! I was supposed to die." In his words, it seemed like there was a hint to something more. Something had been going on that Akina, nor anyone else in the clan, had been told. He tossed her armor aside gently, and began to bandage her wounds. He wanted to give her some of his blood to speed her regeneration, but he knew she wouldn't accept it.
After finishing with the bandages, he would scoot away, and clean the blood of Agito. He didn't say anymore. He was angry, not at Akina, but at the circumstances that were forced upon them.

She ducked her head down a little after getting thwacked listening to him rant on about how she should have left him. " Your so frigan stupid! I was the one that was suppose to die! i was already dead! You should have stayed there brought the leader back to life and went on your just stealing my story by ranting on", she growled at him there was something about his words though he was hiding something. She watched him clean off his sword for a while before she started to pry not able to figure out what he was hiding. " Something else you want to tell me?"

"No.. It doesn't matter." He said, focusing on Agito, getting off every spec off blood before he placed it aside. He took the bottle she had given him early, and drank down what remained of the water. He placed it down, and he began to lay onto his back, unable to sleep right now.

" Fine then", she said in a annoyed tone stareing at the door now. She couldnt sleep, to tired, and she didnt want to. She wanted to be awake if something else was to happen which she doubted anything else would but still. She glanced around the room before looking back over at Reo. " rice cake", she muttered to herself reaching for some of the left over food from earlier. then a idea popped in her head. she hopped up and started poking at him " You will feel better if you tell me I wont tell anyone if its a secret", she said still poking at him.

Reo swatted her hand away, and he growled, before he stared out the open doorway, at the rain that was still pelting down. He sighs and says to her. " The leader never was going to be resurrected. He's been dead far too long. Me and the leader's son, Kojiro, spoke with each other before this mission. We were.. are, very close friends. The clan was feuding and breaking apart because of the leader's death. Blame was being put on everyone, even though that was ridiculous, the leader died from disease... " He paused, thinking some of how to say his next words.
"To unify the clan, me and him took a dark night alone to speak and plan. Me and another loyal one were to go and collect the souls, I was to waste the soul stone, and take the fall. Kojiro would use this as an excuse that the leader could never be brought back, and that he would take the position as leader, since he was the rightful heir. It would be as if leadership moved along as it should have. Though, someone had to give their life. That was me. However, the plan faltered a bit when something unexpected happened.."
"You died. You weren't supposed to die. The plan was for me to return, create the soul stone, and use it on myself, under the dillusion that I thought it would make me immortal, and they'd kill me anyways. Well, I had to bring you back, and I underestimated your resolve in keeping me alive.. So. The reason you're going through this suffering is a mixture of bad luck and my bad decision making."
Grunting some, he said to her. "I know I lied to you, and I lied to the whole clan. But it was done for a greater good. To unite the clan." She'd hear the loyalty in his voice. Reo had been willing to go through many fights with the humans, created a soul stone, but only so that he could waste it and let himself die at the hands of friends and family. Things just hadn't worked out like they were supposed to, and instead of just him dying, Akina would too.. Reo knew they couldn't escape the clan forever.

She listened to him closely mouth gaped open as she listened. she didn't care at first but the more she thought on it the madder she got. She glared over at him before she began to speak, " So all that work near death, Death! all that was for nothing?! Just because the stupid clan was fighting?!", she practically yelled at him. " And you couldn't have told me this from the start?! I would have let you die then all you had to do was tell me but no your stubborn ass had to go off and be all secretive with Kojiro!!", she wasn't as mad as him as she was at the fact that he didn't just tell her. She dug through the bag and pulled out a bottle of water just to throw it at Reo pissed as hell. " you've done gone and started a war you know that there going to come after us they wont stop", she hissed bitting down on her tongue to keep from yelling at him more. She had the right to be mad but it would pass eventually.

Reo was struck by the bottle of water, but he ignored the blow. Sticks and stones would break his bones, but Akina's words were murder. He kept an expressionless face, his eyes narrow subtly. He spoke clearly, his voice as powerful as slapping Akina in the face. "Then go home." He said to her, rising weakly. He grunted, and he spoke to her. "Go home, say you didn't kill the two demons.. and you can continue your life as normal."
He hadn't tried to put her through so much, but he didn't understand. If she was as loyal to the clan as he was, wouldn't she let him do what he had to do? Sure the fighting was stupid, but to end this stupidity and keep the clan's integrity, and keep it alive, he had to die. There was nothing for it. He must die.
He couldn't have told her anything from the start. There was no room for risk of her accidently letting anything slip before the mission was complete. The real mission. There could be no falter, and this was something that to be done. Even if she had known the truth, it wouldn't have changed anything.
After the short bout of arguing, Reo felt suddenly cold, and loss the feeling in his limbs. He wasn't getting hurt or anything, but holding secrets had the bad effect of forcing one to hold emotions that weren't supposed to held, and ignore feeling that would on resurface later.

She only growled at his words glaring at him again looking away. " Unlike you and obviously the new leader I don't waste work I kept you alive this long and im going to keep on at it", she snapped at him. She didn't say anything else to many things she had to think about.
She wasn't as loyal as him she was just there to be there she fought if she had to but everyone has to to stay alive. She Just got the curse of being to good at it and tricking people into thinking she was that loyal. She wasn't like Reo she wouldn't waste her life for any other clan member it was there problem to deal with if they got killed. " unity", she scoffed, " what a joke", she said not able to stop herself from just laughing she stared up at the roof now a smirk on her face.

He grit his teeth, but didn't make any growl or say anything when she insulted the unity. It was something he worked hard at, something he'd sacrificed his life for. He let it go. Akina would never understand why he'd done what he'd done. They thought differently. He grew quiet, and he lay back down, and tried to get to sleep. It would be a hard task.

Akina sighed bringing her knee's up to her chest and resting her head on her knee's. to many things going through her mind not sure what she is suppose to be feeling right now she just decided to push it off as something that was to far gone to fix. she closed her eyes finding it easy to sleep now, as she fell off to her side on the floor leg kicking as always.

Among the thunder storm outside, the rain pelting down, Reo got a couple brief hours of sleep before dawn came. He felt slightly better, his strength having returned some. He stood slowly, and and found a spade amonst the destroyed village. He goes out and digs a pair of graves, burying his ex-clan mates, and marking each grave with a stone. He tosses the spade aside, muddy and sweaty from the labor. He walks to the creek nearby, and he goes back into the house.
Glancing at Akina, he says. "I'm fine enough to travel.. You can go back now." He wasn't in the best of health, but if he had the strength to dig two graves on his own, he could travel. He wasn't sure that the reason she was with him was just to make sure he was okay, and to follow through with her work. She would have been willing to drop the mission if she'd learned the secret.
" Your work is finished. "
