I sighed and was going to go home when Makita appeared. I stared blankly and yawned before asking what was wrong.
“Jess asked us all to get to the haunted house!” Makita answered.
I had to hold in an involuntary groan. The idea of more missions made me tired. I put on a placid face and answered that I would be there in a bit and that I had to go home to get some new bandages.
“Fine but bee there fast!” Makita said going off to get the others.
I walked into my house and turned on the lights.
“Hey Mom, Dad, Tetsuka, I’m home,” I said to the memorial tablets in the front room, “But I have to go out again ok? Ok….”
I went to the kitchen opened a drawer and found the bandages. I needed some fresh ones and carefully warped them around my neck where the scar still stood. That dam Kabuto incident would never leave. I sighed, walked out the door, and headed for haunted house.
