Chapter 11: Chapter 8: Shattered Silence
Previously on Seven Rings of Hell we witnessed the effects of Sendou's mistake, that has forever changed his life for him and his family... And as Soon as Kimura saw what happened it was over...
{Kimura's face was still etched in Sendou's mind, his anguished expression a constant reminder of the pain he'd caused... The hospital room was silent as the sun slowly raising on this tragic morning, the only sound the steady beeping of the machines surrounding Onaraka, her fragile body a testament to the destruction that had occurred... Sendou's eyes wandered, his gaze drifting from Kimura's tear-stained face to the lifeless body of his mother, her absence a gaping hole that threatened to consume him whole... The weight of his secrets and regrets hung heavy on his shoulders, suffocating him, as the silence between him and Kimura grew thicker and the tension is overwhelming, a living, breathing entity that seemed to pulsate with every heartbeat....}
Sendou: Kimura... (As he sees Kimura's intensity building up as his aura makes the object around him lift up)
Kimura: I don't want to hear anything you have to say!! (He says grumbling his words in anger) {The sound of a bear growling sound as Kimura speaks}
Tokito: Is that?!
Satarou: It is! We need to get out the room before we or anyone in this hospital get hurt!! (As they rush out)
{Now it's just Kimura and Sendou as they stare off}
Kimura: Now it's you and me... (As he starts circling him like a bear)
Sendou: It, it was an accident (as his face starts sweating alot as he clearly feeling guilty as he faces Kimura's eyes as his eyes shake) I didn't mean to...
Kimura: Your the reason why there dead!! (The growl grows louder as Kimura as
Yells)
Sendou: It's not like that.
Kimura: Then what's it like then!?! (As the growl turns to roars) {As finally the full reveal is shown as a spiritual black bear glow next to Kimura}
Sendou: Wow... Kimura you need to cal- (He interrupted by Kimura)
Kimura: Shut up!! (A vicious growl follows as Kimura yells out)
Sendou: You need to calm down... Please just listen to me!! (Trying to retaliate but his voice is still filled with guilt)
Kimura: No... I don't want listen to your lies! You told me you'd protect them, you said as long as your still breathing they would be protected! (As the memories of what Kimura is stating is flowing past Kimura's mind) You told me that!! And I believed you... I believed your... Lies!!
Sendou: (as he feels his heart break) [It hurts my soul hearing these words... Because even I know it's true... I failed them, but I can't lose him as well that's why have to protect Kimura before he goes to far into the darkness... I need to save him from himself!!] (As Sendou continues to push forward)
{As Kimura's gravity increases as everything in the room starts vibrating as Kimura yells, each word more vicious than the last}
Kimura: So... What do you have to say for yourself?
Sendou: Kimura... I, I know did you wrong. I know I failed you. I told you a bunch of promises and I failed you... I'm sorry I know, it's all my fault... I absolutely hate myself for this... Because I meant what I said. I tried everything in my power to stop it from happening... But I wasn't strong enough it was out of my control!
Kimura: Stop lying you didn't even try!!
Sendou: Of course I tried everything in my power, look!! (As he shows the battle scars on his arms and legs) And I even gave my life. (As he shows the giant whole shaped scar in his chest) But I couldn't stop him... I'm sorry, if I had the choice I would trade places with mom but I can't change that, I would give up the whole world if it meant I can bring her back but that's not how the world works...
Kimura: (his faces still filled with rage) I don't want to hear it!! We are orphans all because of you!! I will never forgive!! You ruined my life!! (As Kimura finally snaps and dashes in a strikes Sendou with a slash across his chest from the bear)
Sendou: Ahh!! (As he he's pushed to the wall as he is coughing up blood) I promise you... No matter what... I will protect you (his voice lowered but filled with righteous intent)
Kimura: (pins Sendou into the wall) I absolutely hate lies! And you know that! So stop lying to me!!
Sendou: Even of you don't believe me, I still meant when I said I'd protect you... Even in death... (As he closes his eyes)
{And as Kimura about to deliver the finishing blow Satarou comes in at the last second and saves Sendou as he pushes Kimura back}
Satarou: You can't go dying on me before we can have our rematch! (As he keeps Kimura in check) Now your with me kid!!
Kimura: I'm so sick and tired of people trying to control me! I won't get hurt by you again!!
Tokito: Sendou you okay?! (As she pulls him out of the hole) What the?! (As she sees the slash across Sendou's chest) No is this?
{As she sees that the mark is glowing purple as Sendou's body starts sinking into the floor}
Tokito: It's as I thought, Itadori told me about this it's the fangs of Kuma (bear in Japanese) the mythical beast of our folklore. It's able to make anything it's slashed sink to the bottom of the earth.
Satarou: So the new holder of the Gravity element is him?! (As he sees Kimura's baby face) This ma's boy?
Kimura: Shut up!! (As he retaliates with a powerful right straight that dislocates Satarou's jaw)
Satarou: Wow he's got more strength than he leads on then I'll need to do this!! (As he clashes his fists together and they turn to stone) Mineral art: Mud Wall!! (He forms a mud wall that blocks Kimura from Satarou and Sendou) This should buy you enough time Sendou your gonna have to handle this like a man.
Sendou: (His lungs being crushed by the gravity) I will...
Tokito: Only another mythical element can cancel out another mythicals effects but thank goodness Sendou's that mythical elemental.
Sendou: No... Let me go, I've already done too much damage Kimura's right...
Tokito: (she puts her forehead on his forehead) Sendou don't listento these hurtful words they aren't true. You tried your best and there wasn't anything you could've done to stop it. So just breathe in and think about all these thoughts and then breathe out and just let it go and focus on this moment.
Sendou: Okay. *Breathes in* {As he sees everything flow past his mind} *Breathes out* [Let it all go...] (As he mutes all of it and it blures out) [And focus on the Now!!] (As his wounds is healed by the blue flames and Sendou's revitalized) {But now across Sendou's chest is a scar that represents that he's let go but he'll never forget what happened}
Sendou: Satarou let down the wall!
Satarou: That's what I like to hear!! (As he lets the wall down)
Kimura: You... I'll kill you!! (As Kimura's face became more animalistic with sharp teeth and claws he's truly losing himself) [I can't stop myself, someone stop me before I do this!!] (Kimura's eyes start to cry)
Tokito: [Even Kimura is begging Sendou to stop him, he's trapped inside his head now the beast is in control... Sendou save your little brother. He needs you]
{As Sendou dashes in as fast as he can and he...}
Sendou: (He grabs and hugs Kimura) It's okay Kimura, I'm here. I've got you... It's going to be alright (as he tries to calm him)
Kimura: B-But, you said that last time how can I trust you can keep your word?
Sendou: I promise you lil bro no matter what I'll always be here trying my best to protect and guild you when you need me okay?
Kimura: Do you promise? (As he starts crying in his arms)
Sendou: Yes lil bro, big bro will always be here. No matter what.
{Kimura hears this and finally calms down and deforms and everything falls back down to the floor}
Kimura: You better keep your promise this time. (As we see Kimura's adorable smile) {Kimura's Giant bear turns back into a little bear cub}
Onaraka:Huh? (As she wakes up) Where?... (She sees Kimura and Sendou) [That's all that I (as she looks over to her mother) and mom ever wanted...] I'm glad y'all are happy over there!
{Both Kimura abd Sendou are in shock}
Both Kimura and Sendou: Big sis!!! (As they run and jump on her)
Kimura: I was so worried!!
Sendou: Im sorry that this happened because of me.
Onaraka: It's not your fault. And could you guys pls get off me everything still really hurts.
{But as they have a reunion hug Tokito walks to them}
Tokito: Not to interrupt your moment but we have a big problem possibly world threatening.
Satarou: It's that serious...
Sendou: What's going on?
Tokito: Well it's...
We'll see in tge next chapter!!
