I was walking a tad faster now even though Yuri's yelling didn't stop. Yuri made several attempts to make me stop but finally gave up and walked beside me.
"How do you even know that you're going in the right direction!" Yuri said angrily, "I can't even smell Kyuubi from here! Hachi are you listening to me???"
"I jussst know ok," I hissed.
"Hachi...." Yuri said quieter now.
"Look thiss will all be fixed once Ssshukaku doess hiss thing sso we have nothing to worry about. But Sshukaku and Kyuubi need help," I hissed.
I tried to run again, but found my vitals resisted the movement. I sighed and continued at my pace. In truth I didn't even know what I was following. I couldn't smell Kyuubi and figure he and Suki had run from something, but something else called.
I didn't have the chakra to do a transportation jutsu, so I continued moving against the screams of my muscles. Suddenly I realized where I was going. I walked straight into the city and came to the house. I pushed the front door open and walked in as I had done many times.
"Hachi...." Yuri started.
"My housse," I said flatly.
The house had aged in three years time, but everything seemed in tact. I walked into the kitchen and found all things that were worth even a cent had been taken. I didn't blame the raiders. I simply sighed and went on. Blood lined the walls of the living room, but it had long ago dried and stained the wall a dark red.
Yuri who had been following me now tried to say something but I waved it out of the air. What I wanted to see was in the back. Even though I had seen it through Dark's eyes I wanted to see it for myself. I pushed the back door open and stared out into the back yard. Three graves sat in the middle. My breath caught for a moment, but then I regained my stature and walked out.
"Hachi....." Yuri tried again.
"I knew I wass dead....." I answered, "I jussst wanted to ssee Kai and Maki."
"Hachi.....we.....when we found......Maki, Kai, and you.....we...."
"Ya I can sssee," I answered.
"But....." Yuri said even quieter.
"Hey been a while," I said smirking a bit, "You two mad at me?"
The graves didn't reply, but I hadn't expected them to.
"Don't worry. I'll have Ssshukaku fix this," I continued, "Either that or I'll join you guyss sssoon enough."
"Hachi!" Yuri yelled.
"Yuri. When I awakened inssside Dark....I ssshortened our life ssspan to do it."
"Hachi....what do you mean?" Yuri asked.
"The stress did a lot of it, but I only have a few yearsss....."
"Hachi!" Yuri yelled.
"Meh....in the mean time we have to do sssome stuff. Come on," I answered walking away. I never looked back.
Yuri continue?
