"Hey Sango, Kagome can I tell you a secret?" I asked. Me, Kagome, and Sango were all 10 years old, I had been wanting to tell them my secret for a long time but was afraid of what they would say. "You can tell us anything and we won't tell." So I told them what I was and even showed them me wolf form. "So your a werewolf princess?" Sango and Kagome asked. "Yes I am." I replied nervously, worried that they would hate me. "Wow that is amazing your so lucky Akira!" they both said as they smiled at me. I hugged them "I'm glad you don't hate me." I said as they hugged me back.
-One month later-
"Are you guys excited to be in the 5th grade next month?" Kaede asked me, Kagome, and Sango. "Of course why wouldn't we be." We replied. Kaede opened her mouth to respond when she froze and sniffed the air. Her eyes widened in fear as she turned to the wolf we had with us "Tiki run and get Takemaru now!" She ordered. Tiki took off howling as she ran. Kaede put up a barrier around us for protection. We watched in fear as 3 male vampires walked towards us. 2 were gold eyed and the other was silver eyed. "What are you doing here Naraku?" Kaede asked. "I came here to kill Takemaru's brat Akira." Naraku replied. "Over my dead body!" Kaede snarled at him. "Very well as you wish, Hakudoish take care of her." He said. Kaede was able to dodge Hakudoish easily and hit him a few times. She sensed Naraku behind her at the same time Hakudoish pushed her backwards. I watched in horror as a poisoned dagger went through her back and out of her stomach. "Naraku, Takemaru is almost here, Koga, Ginta, Hakkaku, and Ayame are with him." Onigumo warned. "Lets go." Naraku said as he pulled the dagger out of Kaede and ran. The barrier dropped as Kaede fell to the ground on her back. "KAEDE!" I screamed as tears streamed down my face. I ran to her and fell to my knees at her side. "Kaede get up, please get up." I begged as Kagome and Sango sat beside me sobbing softly.
Kaede smiled as she patted my cheek "shh don't cry you'll be alright Akira." she said as my father, brother, Ginta, Hakkaku, and Ayame reached us. Koga knelt beside her and sniffed the wound. "Wolf's Bane." he said his voice filled with sorrow and anger. I shook my head in denial hugging her and refusing to let go. "No, you can't die Kaede, you just can't, please don't die Kaede." I cried sobbing even harder. "Akira look at me." Kaede said softly. I looked up at her and she wiped away my tears and smiled "I have to go you know this, but just because you can't see me doesn't mean I'm gone. I will always be in your heart, don't let grief take you over. Smile and remember that I will always love you." she said and hugged me close. I held on until I felt her arms go limp. I saw a picture of me, Kagome, and Sango and I heard Kaede whisper "remember the love of mates." and then it went dark.
