could see his eye's still s.h.i.+ning gold but this time there was more sadness than joy. An ocean of

sadness had replaced the strong and powerful man that I have always seen in front of me. Saki

stood there quietly with the same look of sadness in her eyes like she knew what light was going

through. I couldn't help but feel bad for him but I couldn't show any kind of emotion. Light was

my best friend but I couldn't do anything to help him not knowing what he was going through.

Light looked up too Saki who was almost in tears now. She nodded and started to walk to the

cabin with the boy. Light looked to me next with a look of pain and betrayal stained on his face I

was confused why he was looking at me that way. He positioned himself so that he was now

sitting cross legged on the ground facing me.

"Junjie, please sit down I have a story to tell you about my past that I should have told

you before we became so close. It isn't a pretty story but it needs to be told to maybe help your

situation out." he said sternly

I listened and sat down, I'm sure anything light tells me wouldn't change my mind about

him. I never really knew much about him maybe this could change my mind or my heart about

who I keep close. I should stop thinking and listen to what my friend has to say. I looked him in the eyes and was surprised by what I saw his eyes where no longer gold but glowing silver it felt

like he was searching my soul for answers before he spoke.

"Junjie, this isn't going to be easy to tell you. do you remember how I told you the cat

isn't part of the zodiac anymore?" He questioned me

"Yes, I remember Light what does that…" I paused and realized

It has everything to do with it he told me it was because of the rat he lost his spot. that

child is the rat… I could only imagine what light had to say to me. what he had to tell me about

his past it must be painful for him to talk about. Light was now smiling at me but only for a

moment before he went back to having that same sad look on his face.

"You remembered the rat is my enemy, let me tell you why I can't fight him or take his

life." he paused and then continued "before I met you Junjie I was in another group, they called

themselves the Black Zodiac. They were fierce didn't follow any type of rule that this society

has for everyone. They would ****, murder, steal, and take what they wanted by force." Light

gave a heavy sigh

"So you would do the same stuff they did, like take advantage of women, steal stuff, and

murder innocent people?" I questioned but I couldn't see him doing any of those

"I never took advantage of women not once even though they tried to get me too. I never

stole anything in my life…" Then hesitation caught Light's next words "I have murdered a lot of

people Junjie tons. especially children and women. I have a lot of blood dripping from my hands

you can not see. I can only see it, I never wielded my sword for a reason that blood also stains

my blades I am dangerous Junjie even more so with my blades." He said as he looked to the

ground

I wanted to say something but I knew he wasn't done with his story, so I sat and waited

for him to finish. The whole time I couldn't help but think of all the horrible things I have done

since i had to take up the sword. I had killed one person I looked up too, just to turn around and

fall in love with his daughter.

Light looked back up at me and started again. "I was asked to take care of a woman and

her child. So I did what I was told I stayed with her for months before I was asked to kill her and

her five year old son I had fallen in love with both of them. I was so brainwashed I killed them

with no questions asked only after the fact I stood over there bodies crying. I had blood dripping

from my blades. That night I told myself I would never kill another person again and put my

swords aside to never weald them again, here I am again with my sword. I don't know if I will be

able to control myself.

I felt myself sigh hard and looked to light. "I have done some pretty bad things as well

lately I am not going to hold it against you Light. Thank you for being comfortable enough to tell

me what you have been through. I am not worried about you losing control." I smiled at him and

stood up and reached down to give him my hand he smiled back and grabbed my hand. Than

made our way following the path Saki took.
