The towering demon and the hideous cripple stared at each other for a bit, their eyes wide with shock.
"Now way… he was here all along? Wait, who dared to do this to Kai?! When I find the bastard, I'll tear them limb from limb!"
Sunny was so stunned that he even failed to let go of the emerald amulet. He gritted his fangs, then asked a question, at the same time as Kai did:
"...Who did this to you?!"
"...Why are you so tall?!"
Flustered, the two fell silent for a moment.
Then, Sunny reached out and grabbed the cripple into a crushing hug, wrapping all of his four arms around him. Who knew… who knew that this repulsive body, which was covered in dirty bandages that smelled of blood and pus, would suddenly become so precious and dear to him?
"I was put into a body of a demon… why wouldn't I be tall, you idiot?"
Kai let out a startled yelp, struggled weekly, and then patted Sunny on one of the arms.
"Argh… Sunny… I am very glad to see you, as well… but… my burns!"
Sunny jolted, then hurriedly let go of the cripple's body and gave him an apologetic look.
…Beneath that simple emotion, though, a dark ocean of fury smoldered with dangerous flames.
"Sorry… I didn't... Kai! You're alive! Damn, I am so happy to see you! I was starting to wonder… wonder if any of you guys have made it alive…"
Kai looked at him, then smiled. Through the gaps in the bandages, his disfigured face looked ghastly and hideous… but the sparks glinting in his eyes were the same. He sighed.
