Basil’s eyes widen in horror when Milo’s limp body hits the ground after she protected him from Zankoku.
Zankoku laughs as he uses his blood demon art to snap the unconscious yokai’s neck.
Basil can’t move, as if his feet have been rooted to the ground.
How could he let this happen..?
This is his fault…
He said he’d protect her, but…
Now she’s gone…
He failed…
“M-Milo….” He chokes out and his knees buckle beneath himself.
Zankoku slowly walks to Basil with a devilish smile. “How about I make you next~?” He asks then laughs as tears begin to roll down Basil’s cheeks.
Basil shakily stands up and growls. He swipes his black hair out of his eyes and strikes at Zankoku’s neck.
……
After almost an hour of fighting, Basil falls to his knees, next to Zankoku’s decaying body.
Basil crawls over to Milo’s corpse and hugs her. “I-I-I’m s-so sorry….” He cries out as he starts crying into her shoulder.
After a few minutes of crying and clinging onto what was once the world to Basil, he feels someone try to take Milo away from him.
He quickly squeezes Milo tighter. “N-no, don’t take her from me..!” His voice cracks and breaks from how much he’d been crying.
Shinobu and the kakushi standing with her sighs softly and sadly as they look at him and Milo’s small, ghostly pale body. “Alright, Basil.. Here’s the demon cure, okay..?” She shows him the injection and carefully takes his arm.
The kakushi makes the vein show up on his arm then Shinobu gives him the injection.
Basil lets out a pained gasp and squeezes Milo tighter.
He starts trembling and his skin begins flickering between a brighter color and what it normally is.
His hair flickers between the white with colorful streaks and a lightish brown.
Shinobu watches in horror and confusion as Basil goes through all of these changes.
He falls to the ground, still tightly holding Milo, then Shinobu begins shaking his shoulders frantically. “Basil? Basil!!” She calls out his name worriedly then she checks his pulse and starts crying when she realizes his pulse is gone.
Milo and Basil are carried away together by the kakushis as the crows fly over the battlefield announcing their deaths.
Basil was holding Milo so tightly they had to be buried together since they were unable to separate the two hashiras.
So many lives were lost in the war…
Could this truly be considered a victory…?
~the end~
mwahahahahah >:3
