From head to toe, she was starting to tremble. Kideme could hear all the protests and concerns voiced by Shien, Deucalion and Michirama, but they were all ignored. None of them knew what her intentions were, but Death would.

He would have seen into her heart and could probably see right into her mind this very instant. Him declaring that once she made a deal with dead, there was no turning back. Kideme had come to terms with this. If she agreed, she would never be able to come back to the world of the living again. Her decision would also mean that the progression of her own spirit and soul was now in the hands another. Her life would be over.

"I understand." She could feel her eyes beginning to water.

“I am choosing option one, but if Tiatsu gets judged badly and his soul is to be damned. I will offer myself as a servant to repent for all sin he has committed in exchange for him being able to enter the afterlife.” Kideme would say, clearing her throat and speaking loudly so that there was no mistaking what she said.

Now with Death speaking up, Kideme listened carefully, and all that which she had suspected might happen, would happen. This would be the end of her life as a human and the prospect of returning to the fleshworld was destroyed. With a nod, Kideme smiled sadly. "Understood."

Soon came the seven judges. This reminded Kideme of the seven angels once pitched by the few Jesuits that had tried preaching a religion of a martyred carpenter. Angels were always seen as ....angelic. Of kind hearts and gentle judgement. But in the words she'd heard and read, they were quite strict beings with a very rigid set of regulations that they not only followed but expected humans to follow. These judges seemed to be pretty similar.

When Duke seemed to lash out, Kideme glanced his way with a slight frown but her eyes were back upon the judges near instantly. It wasn't long before they came to a decision and as she feared, the piling sin outweighed Tiatsu's righteousness. Kideme did not care. Even if she had not loved him, he was still someone she cared for, and she would NOT let him get thrown to the pits to burn forever. Not when she knew he had a good heart that was blackened by bad circumstances.

Physical bounds notwithstanding, the tears began to flow freely, as Kideme closed her eyes, taking a self reflection on her own life. Apart from the horrors of things she witnessed on the shinobi field, her life had been happy, and full of joy. She'd gotten to meet and see many interesting people and she had known love, real true unselfish love many times. Friendship, family, romance, and passion. There were few things she'd regretted in her life, apart from hurting those she held dear.

And so, when it was announced that Kideme would become a servent as pentance for Tiatsu going to heaven, she nodded once.

"I understand. I will serve. "

There it was. Kideme Sagara, of the Kumogakure based Sagaras, fourth in line to be leader and heir apparent to the final estate, was no more. At the age of seventeen, just shy of being legally recognized as a woman, she was leaving it all behind to save her lover, her best friend, and ultimately, another human being.

She then looked to Tiatsu and silently mouthed. "I love you. Be safe."

If the Gods had spoken up, she nodded, did a momentary visual sweep of her friends and then looked back to them. "May I at least say goodbye?"
