Using what little strength he had left Akurai managed to lift himself of the bludgeoned man just to take two steps and break down next to his father’s body. "Come on now dad. Don't play like this, just... wake up. Please?» He knew it was useless, but something inside him just refused to accept the reality. Grabbing onto his father shoulders he shock him slightly, hoping and praying that it would somehow bring him back, but it was to no avail. Laying his father's body back down Aku felt the tears stream down his face as he could no longer deny the truth and as he did the rage and anger had subsided and was replaced by only sorrow. However another feeling from deep inside him also started to resurface, the feeling of hunger.
The hunger had grown greater as he had used his remaining power. The headache he had had turn into the worst on he could remember, almost splitting his head in two. His body shivered and twitched as he tried to deny his instincts. "I can't, I won't"He repeated to himself as he felt his mouth water by the sight of flesh and blood. "I refuse to eat them" His stomach twisted and turned and Aku let out a groan of pain. Biting down on his lip he pushed himself away from his dad and into a corner. He sat there and felt his emotions and instincts play thug of war with him. His mouth watering while he himself bit down on his lip until he remembered something he could eat.
Crawling out from the corner he made his way over to his pray, bloody hand prints stained the floor as he moved and soon he reached the puddle of a man. Reaching down into the bloody mess he felt substance and tor of a part of flesh. Holding it in front of his mouth he repeated "This or them, this or them" until he finally gathered the courage to bite down. However as soon as he felt the taste of the flesh he gagged and dropped the piece. Never had he tasted something so foul, something so disgusting and stomach turning. However only moments later he grabbed the piece back up and took another bite, this time managing to swallow some.
The meal took a few hours as for every second piece he felt his whole system disagree with what he was forcing into it, but he kept it all down and kept forcing himself to eat more. "Last leg now" He said to himself as some sort of motivation to just get done, to just get this hell over with.
Getting up Aku made his way to the shower. His body was numb and his face was emotionless, he was working on autopilot. His clothes made a splash as they hit the floor and as he stepped into the shower the water turned a crimson red. His knuckles stung as the water and soap ran down them and revealed the slight bruising and cuts the bludgeoning had led to.
Stepping out of the shower he quickly dried himself, brushed his teeth and then found a bag. Going into his room he filled the bag with clothes and everything else essential. Down stairs he found the safe he knew was hidden in the wall and tried what he was sure was the code, but that didn’t work. The ribbons shot out of his back and he ripped the safe to shreds and then quickly stuffed the money hidden inside into the bag.
Making his way towards the door he stepped over the bodies littered around the living room and as he reached the door he turned and said “Thanks… thanks for everything” then he closed the door behind him, put on his hood and embarked into the dark .
