[DUEL END]
Ito hit the ground as he accepted his fate. He felt all of his regrets and all of his sorrows escape his body. A smile appeared on his face. He wanted things this way. He wanted death.
"Ito!!" Yuko began to run towards Ito as he stood on one knee.
Ito raised hand and Yuko stopped running. "It's okay Yuko. I want things this way."
Yuko felt sorrow invade his body as he teared up due to him watching Ito's body beginning to fade away. "Ito I'm sorry......I promise I'll..."
Ito cut him off. "It's fine." He smiled and giggled. Dying felt good to Ito. It felt like his pain was finally going away. "I can be with my family now in the afterlife. Yuko, my friend, don't do me any favors and don't think that this is your fault. I want it like this."
Yuko cried. Ito was about to be the third person to die in front of Yuko's eyes. It was heartbreaking to see another person lose their life. "Ito...can you play that song? The Song of Babylon?"
Ito smiled and pulled out his flute. The music really helped Yuko watch Ito fade away even more. Once Ito was finished, he dropped his flute to the ground and smiled at Yuko. "Sayonara, Yuko Sorama." Ito was gone.
Yuko cried silently as he grieved. "So long, Ito." He opened a portal with the power of his Mark of Unity and slowly returned to his world while crying over Ito's death.
