The atmosphere was soaked in agony and tragedy due to the death of the known drunkard Fushigami, witnessing this from the corner of a close building Yami hatred for the night crawlers grew stronger and his desire for freedom grew respectively.
A proper burial was made that day for the deceased with most of the islanders in attendance, The atmosphere was filled with despair as yet again a life was lost by the night crawlers.
"I can't believe Fushigami, where would his son turn to now" "I guess drunkards will always be drunkards" "But still this is not his first night in the village, surely he is supposed to be aware of what lurks during the time of night" "And I just spoke to him yesterday, The man still owes me some money" "Poor kid, I bet it'd suck having a drunkard of a father" ... Murmures like this spread through the atmosphere, while those like jigoro mourns the death of the lost, Others ridiculed and gossip about his life.
[After attended the burial, Jigoro sits on a chair at the dining trying to get over the death of his friend, with Hina in the kitchen preparing a meal for consolation]
*Walking in, Yami stood with his chest high, putting up a brave face said "When I grow of age I'm going to leave this island and go to the world paradise". Hearing this got Hina distracted and accidentally cut herself.
"What are you saying Yami?, Don't be silly you know what happens during night time don't you?" Hina questioned as she walked towards yami resting her hands on his shoulders.. "Yes I know what happens, and that's the reason why I'm gonna be leaving this place. I'm gonna go somewhere I'll be free" Yami replied with a tone having a feint sense of anger and resentment. With anger Hina raised a hand and slapped Yami "You'll die when the sun sets, you know it's inevitable" She continued. "Yes I'll die, I know that but I'd rather die than live in a place like this.." Yami replied.
"I'll never allow you to live this island, Not while I'm alive.." Hina concluded
"Yami, Why do you want to be leave this island?" Jigoro questioned after witnessing the scene. Still wearing his brave face Yami replied" I want to be Free, A place I can roam freely both day and night...." *Jigoro sighs* and with a calm tone he said "I see"...
"Is that all you're going to say honey?" Hina questioned Jigoro "I'll never allow you to leave this island Yami, I'll never allow that." She continued....
With anger yami dashed out of the house in the direction of the park he and oda normally hang out.
"What's with the angry face?!,Don't tell me it's your mom again?" Oda asked after seeing the expression on Yami's face..
"I told them I'll be going to world paradise when I'm of age, My dad didn't say anything about it but my mom is totally against the idea.." Yami discussed
"What do you expect?,You want her to let her son kill himself with her permission?" Oda said while bursting into laughter... "There's no mom like that in the whole world yami" He continued...
As the discussion continued time flew by without the kids realising it and it was few minutes to sunset...
"Jigoro Where's yami?!" Hina asked jigoro after searching the whole house for yami..
"He should be in his room" Jigoro replied without a feint of consent.. "Well he's not there!!!, Don't tell me he's not back from the park!!" Hina argued with a tone of fear and anger... And at this moment both parent realised the Situation at hand.. Turning to her scarf Hina left the house with a dashing speed towards the park...
Getting to the park Hina saw the two boys walking towards home together .. "Hey Yami, Be fast the sun is about to set.." She shouted... And in a split second with the sun half set, emerging from the ground was a night crawler from behind the two boys.. Hina running as fast as she could to save her son from the night crawler rushing from behind towards yami, With the two boys trying to get away from the beast, Hina Unconsciously thought of the only way to save her son , pushed oda back towards the night crawlers hoping he would hold it back grabbed yami with all her might dashing away..... " You must Survive" Hina said as she looked yami in the eyes with a face full of despair ... Turning his back as he ran forward witnessed his best friend Oda whom his mom pushed back getting devoured by the Night crawler in other to buy time for their escape!... "ODA!!!!!!" Yami cried with tears running down his eyes...
