CINNAMON

Best Friend

“after your sadness my friend, it will not change anything. ” said the man in black robes.

Hikari looked back, “Rokuga.?! ”

The black-robed man was Rokuga, a friend of Hikari from Yama village, who was the younger brother of Mikami the Yama leader.

Rokuga walks towards Hikari, “wake up Hikari, the fight is not over yet. ”

“I can not fight, my body feels heavy. ” replied Hikari, “ I did not think you really came Rokuga. ”

“who are you?

“don't hinder us if you want to survive.! ”

the enemy troops looked at Rokuga furiously.

Rokuga glanced back, only his eyeballs were visible due to wearing a mask, “Hikari, I will take care of them quickly, you do not have to worry. ” he walked towards the enemy.

Taps.. Taps...

Rokuga dashed towards the enemy with a pair of swords in hand, green Shaka adorned his weapon.

“forward..! ” all enemy forces advance on Rokuga.

Traangs.. Tiings..

the sound of the clanking of swords started to sound, the occasional sound of death cries also accompanied, blood spurting in all directions.

Zrassh..

Rokuga continued to slash without being scratched, his entire body being flooded with the opponent's blood.

“why should this happen.? ” Inner Rokuga while fighting, “forgive me Hikari, I can't do anything but this. ”

on the other hand, Hikari was lying beside Hayumi and Sinam, she was holding Sinam's face with a sad face.

“Sinam.. You have to stay alive, you have to be a tough fighter who brings peace. It is indeed difficult, your journey must be heavy, but I believe in you.. you can definitely reach it.. ” Hikari starts hoarse and his eyes glaze over. “forgive Sinam's father.. I can't keep you company. I won't be there when you're down, lonely.. your long journey father can not be with you. ” tears also dripped.

Sinam had stopped crying, he fell asleep again and did not care what his father said.

Rokuga had finished off all the enemy troops, she she sheathed the sword and approached Hikari.

Rokuga looked at the lying Hikari, “forgive me Hikari, I can't give you information about this attack, I can't get out of the village. ” he said restrained, he said, “I have tried to cancel this attack, but brother refused, I intend to defect, but. ” he stopped saying.

“if this does not happen. ” Rokuga continued.

“enough Rokuga.! ” Hikari speaks and sits down, “you don't need to apologize, you just came to make me happy.you are innocent, however you are a resident of Yama village, no matter how strong our friendship, is, you do not have to die with me in the hands of your brother's army, this is the best, the end that must end like this. ” he smiled.

Rokuga stunned, “the best? wh why? don't you hate my village.?! ”

“hate or no longer meaningless, no need to hold a grudge when going to die, after all this attack occurred because of the cooperation of my brother, Hikasa with the three leaders of other villages, this is inevitable. ” replied Hikari.

“kakmu.?! ” Rokuga surprised, “why did he do this.? ”

“I don't know, surely he has his own reasons. ” replied Hikari.

the momentary silence.

“Rokuga, as a friend, I want you to take care of Sinam, I want you to save Sinam. ” Hikari suddenly said seriously.

“no need you say, I will definitely take good care of Sinam, he will be a great fighter in the future. ” replied Rokuga.

“until death it seems like I will continue to trouble you. ” Hikari smiles that tuck in sadness.

“don't be stupid Hikari, you are my best friend, we already know each other from childhood..after your departure later.maybe I...maybe.... will be haunted by guilt forever. ” said Rokuga.

Hikari looked at Rokuga, “can you take off your mask? if your face doesn't look you feel far away.. ”

Hikari was stunned staring at Rokuga, she lowered her head, tears were also dripping.

Hikari looked at Sinam's face, “I hope Sinam will be familiar with your child, they are also the same age, they must be on a mission together. ”

“for sure so. ” replied Rokuga.

Hikari smiled, “when we have been friends for a long time, but I do not know the name of your daughter, hehehe, it turns out I did not know you. ” she laughed sorrowfully.

“Harumi.. her name is Harumi. similar to your wife's name. ” says Rokuga. “I want her to be a strong woman like Hayumi.. ”

Hikari stared at Rokuga for quite a while, “hahaha, I thought you were embarrassed to tell me. ” suddenly she laughed.

“hahaha, I'm afraid you think that I like your wife, hahaha. ” Rokuga replied with laughter.

after a few moments of laughter, Hikari looked serious, she looked at Sinam while playing her left index finger that instantly appeared a drop of water, “ini will be her last weapon as well as her protector.. ”

after that, a drop of water flew and entered Sinam's body right on the shoulder, then made clear.

“what are you doing?! ” Rokuga surprised.

“i haven't taught her anything, as a parent, this is all I can do. ” replied Hikari.

“what does that mean he will master the Water Element.? ” ask Rokuga.

“only when pressed, if lucky he can definitely control it. ” replied Hikari with a smile.

“why are you doing? wouldn't it just endanger him and make him miserable! everyone will know he is your son including my brother, he will end tragically.! ” said Rokuga half yelling.

“that problem I believe in you. ” said Hikari fast, “if a drop, that water is my last Shaka. ”

Rokuga was silent looking at Hikari, “then what about the fire lord and his son? aren't you going to help them? right now they're being hunted by my brother's army and others. ”

“just right.. ” then Hikari smiled, “hehehe, with my current condition, I can't do anything, I've run out of Shaka. You better take Sinam and go, I'll die here. ”

Greeb's..

Rokuga put his hand on the shoulder of Hikari who was sitting, “maybe your brother is no longer likely to survive, but your nephew still has hope. ” he said.

Hikari was stunned, she saw Rokuga's hand sticking out the green Shaka, “Rokuga, you.?! ”

“this only makes you last longer, but can't cure your wounds that are too severe. ” Rokuga smile.

“again Thank you Rokuga, you really helped. ” after a while Hikari stood up and spoke.

Hikari looked at Rokuga, then put his fist forward, “this is our last fistfight. ”

“you're right.! ” Rokuga directs his fist.

Buk..

both fists they meet.

“Rokuga, I picked Sinam, and. goodbye.. ” Hikari said with a smile.

“more precisely see you again, because one day I will catch up with you. ” Rokuga also smiled.

“I don't have much time, I'll leave now. ” Hikari turn around, then glance at Hayumi, “my wife, I will catch up with you soon, so do not feel lonely. ” her inner self.

Taps.. Taps..

Hikari started running towards Hikaru and Himiko's place.

“Thank you Rokuga, you've given me your Shaka, I've become a little energetic. ” Inner Hikari.

Rokuga carried Sinam, he noticed the former drops of water on Sinam's boat, “Hikari, I will take care of your child for our friendship. ” then leave the place.
