"I got it!!!"
Sojiro said, busting through the hospital doors, sword jingling in its sheath.
Everyone stopped and turned and looked at him.
"Uhhhhhhh, excuse me! Hehheheh..." redface eek redface
He slips through the corridors and makes his way to Ryoko's room.
*********************************************************************
*1 Week Later*
Things had calmed down by then. Zola and Ryoko still questioned him about where he got the money, but he would never tell. Sojiro eventually saw that things were back to normal........ Until.
*********************************************************************
Sojiro swung his sword at the tree.
Instead of slicing all the way through, its stuck in the bark.
"What? Oh well. I guess I'm just not into training today."
"You suck, I think your getting worse."
He turned to Ryoko's sarcastic voice and made a fake laugh.
"Well thank ya for your concern!!!"
She shrugged and sat down next to another tree.
"So what are you going to do now? You just going to stay with us, train all day, eat, then repeat, every day?"
Sojiro turned to her, sheathing his blade.
"I don't know what I'm going to do. Haven't decided ye- You okay?"
Ryoko was motionless, starting to quiver.
She stared past him looking.
Sojiro's face fell instantly. He saw that look before. He didn't want to turn around. He didn't want to face the blob that had once taken his friend. And he certainly didn't want it to take his new friend. He was tired of this, but he did it anyway.
He turned and faced the black mass.
"Ryoko. Do this as a last favor for me. Run like hell. RUN!!!"
Ryoko stayed there.
"W-what about you?"
Sojiro motioned with his hand for her to run.
"It wants me. Don't worry though. I'll kill it...."
Ryoko stayed there.
"Are you deaf? I said run!!"
Ryoko walked up right next to him.
"I won't run. I don't even know what this thing is."
Ryoko had a curious look on her face and walked up to it. She was about to touch it when sojiro ran forward and grabbed her hand.
"You can't!! If you touch it, you'll-"
Sojiro's back felt pain. He looked behind him, the blob had touched his back.
"Bye Ryoko...."
Sojiro smiled, and he was gone...
