Chapter 4:Unfair judgement.
Tim was waking up slowly as the morning cool breeze came to him. He opened his eyes just to see that he was surrounded by a blanket of fur. He was curious of it and as he looked up he sees an overture indicating the outside. He slowly reached the hole and he poped his head outside just to see Cross's head. He realized that the blanket of fur was actually Cross in a curled up position while he was inside her like he was in a blanket. He calmed a little and he poped his head in again and snoozed for a while until Cross wakes up. Then outside there were too much conversation,loud enough to force Cross and her family to wake up. Tim woke up again but was woken by Cross sudden awakening. She stretched her body up and started to head outside but halted in the distance.
"Come with me Tim,stay close to me."she said while Tim walked to her and he was picked up by her.
He was being carried by Cross while he was on her back and she carefully walked to her comrades to see what was happening. She then sees blood on the place where every Ohu soldiers werestanding. She then putted Tim in the ground and left him in there.
"Tim stay with Ken and George. Boys take care of Tim here,I don't want him to see this."she said cautiously.
She headed to the other direction with Ben to investigate. While Tim started to be worried.
"Where's Miss Cross going?"asked Tim.
"She will just check what is going on in there with our dad."said Ken calmly.
"Don't worry kid our mom and dad know what they're doing."said George.
Cross spend her time seeing the horror she knew that whoever did this wasn't a bad guy,it was a psychotic criminal instead,even worst than Hougen. No Ohu dog had seen so much horror in their lives,not even the fight against Akakabuto had cause so big gorey scene. GB threw up after seeing the corpses in this bad shape. Gin and Weed were highly shock at this. Kyoushiro was very angered at this and he started to look for Tim in the process. After spotting him he walked to him and he was expecting a lot of explanations.
"HEY KID! What happened in here last night?"he asked Tim in an angry tone.
"Huh?"said Tim confused.
"SO!"snapped Kyoushiro making Tim to back away quickly.
"HEY!"said George pushing Kyoushiro away.
"George don't"said Ken.
"STAY OUT OF THIS GEORGE AND GET AWAY FROM THAT LITTLE MONSTER!"said Kyoushiro completely angered.
"Kyoushiro please can you..."said Ken after he was interrupted.
"SHUT UP AND GET AWAY FROM HIM!"said Kyoushiro as he tackled Ken and George and picked a scared Tim in his mouth.
"Let me go. Let me go. Please."said Tim crying and moving to make the scarred Kishu to release him.
"Can it you little brat."said Kyoushiro.
"HELP! HELP!"screamed Tim getting everyone's attention.
"Shut up and confess you dumb kid."said Kyoushiro while everyone surrounded him.
"Kyoushiro let go of Tim."said Weed.
Kyoushiro didn't obey and kept Tim in his mouth.
"I said let him go!"snapped Weed.
Kyoushiro did as told but instead of gently putting down Tim he threw him away making the little pup to whine in pain as he landed on the hard ground near Cross.
"TIM!"Cross yelled approaching to the pup worried.
She bent over him and started to treat him gently to make his pain go away with a tender lick and warm hug.
"What the hell was all that about. You refused to listen to my son's orders."said Gin completely furious.
"Oh give it up will you. This kid is a thread to all of us. Haven't you see that since he had arrived things got worst."protested Kyoushiro.
"Watch your tone young warrior."said Akame seriosly.
"Watch my tone? Why don't you guys WATCH your backs for a while. What if what this pup said is a lie? What if the stuff he said about his brother were lies? What if the psuchotic dog is the brother and he's just here to make us an easy target for his "brother"?"said Kyoushiro getting everyone skeptical about his point.
"Nonsense. He's an innocent child."said Cross defending Tim.
Tim was being pressured again by everyone and started to back away slowly.
"Innocent is everyone here. But you called him innocent after his arrival just made some of us to die faster than ever. He just brought us nothing but bigger problems than the ones we used to have."said Kyoushiro.
Weed was getting convinced by his friend very quickly and he started to look at Tim differently. Could he really be the reason that this mad dog is here? Is he just a spy pretending to play innocent? Is the stuff he said about his brother were just lies,just to cover up his brother knowing that his brother is a mad killer? Weed was now completely confused but he didn't wanted to make more of his packs to suffer.
"Tim. Is all this true?"asked Weed.
Tim was silent. Everyone was now agreeing with Kyoushiro due to knowing that Tim hasn't answered Weed's question.
"Tim. Is this true?"said Weed raising his voice at the pup.
Tim didn't answered.
"Jerome take him inside and keep him in the prisioners room. Don't let him get away."ordered Weed.
Jerome was to shock to do his orders. Why on earth would Weed treat a pup like a prisioner? Jerome analyzed his own question and he knew that they would use Tim to attract the killer to them. He completely disagreed for the first time with Weed. He won't put a pup in there alone. But he did as ordered and created a plan of his own. He picked Tim up and then the kid started yelling and crying.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"yelled Cross.
"Let me go. Help. HEEELP!"Tim yelled in tears.
"Kid calm down and listen to me."said Jerome in a low tone.
Time calmed down and listened.
"I wont hurt you just trust me."Jerome said.
He signaled Lydia in a way to tell her to stay and trust him. She understood and nodded. Then Jerome ran off to the forest.
"JEROME!"yelled Weed.
Cross,Tamashi,Ben,Ken and George followed Jerome to get Tim back.
"TIIIIIM!"yelled Cross as they followed him.
As they reached a far side of Gajou they stopped at an area. Jerome lowered Tim and let go of him,Cross and the rest caught up to him and Cross nearly bites Jerome.
"Give me back my BABY!"she yelled enraged.
"Whoa calm down Cross."said Jerome as he evaded Cross.
"We wont let you get away with him."said Tamashi.
"I won't. I just didn't wanted to do what Weed told me to. It wasn't fair and it had no meaning of justice. In fact I wanna help Tim as much as you all do."said Jerome letting Tim to go to Cross.
"Tim."Cross said laying in the ground to receive Tim in a calm attitude.
"Hi mama."Tim said calling her mama already.
"Well,sorry for thinking you'll do something to him."Tamashi apologized.
"There's no need I completely understand."said Jerome.
"Well I think is to foolish of you to bring him here."said a demonic dark voice in the forest.
They looked at the source of the voice and saw a tall masked and hooded dog,well completely dressed dog coming out of the shadows. They all stood and surrounded Tim and Cross defensively while Tamashi took a step forward standing in front of the group.
"So you are the psychotic killer we've been hearing about."said Tamashi while she grinned evilly.
"The one and only."he said in his demonic voice.
"Well,bad for you cause this will be the last time you'll see us."she said while taking a fighting stance.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I doubt it you little bitch."he replied.
"Oh you'll regret that comment and all your crimes when I send you straight to HELL JUST LIKE I DID WITH A CERTAIN BLACK WOLF!"she said in anger.
"Bring it."said the dog.
Damn. Tamashi v.s. Exescoutor. Who will win. Will they return to Gajou and warn Weed about their encounter? Find out next time.
