Freedom.
Vast, endless freedom. There was something about being outside of the villages walls that just seemed to touch the man's soul. The air smelled fresher. The birds flew higher. And there was a certain calm about the forests. As Akatome strolled down a canopied path, he just felt alive. It was as though he could feel the world breathing around him. Life was, unfortunately, a beautiful thing.
Unfortunate because of how easily it could be taken. He spotted something up ahead on the path and his eyes narrowed. It was a dove, probably a beautiful one at some point. However, rather than standing in the road and singing, it just laid there on it's back with it's beak ajar and it's wings spread wide. Death was absolute, unprejudiced, and, at the end of the day, unstoppable.
For now, anyway. The raven-haired Kikkawa continued down the path. He hadn't any plans on meeting the reaper. Ever. He would be the one to stop it. He would be the one to stop death.
