Chapter 7: The Start of a War
Weed and GB were coming back to the meeting with Gin and the rest. Yukimura saw Weed and gave him a smile.
"So, the first outpost is in the west side of Gajo. And the second is in the east. We take those two out first, then Spike won't have any back up." Yukimura said. Weed and GB sat down and listened to them. Gin and Akame agreed to the plan. Ken and Kagetora nodded. Tesshin and Rocket smiled because they've got a plan. Weed was glad.
"So, we attack them tomorrow." Weed asked.
"Tomorrow." Yukimura stated. "We should make sure we have enough men to fight. We don't want to…" Yukimura stopped and saw a spy in the bushes. "HEY!" the spy ran.
"Get him!" Kyoshiro yelled. "He could be one of Spikes."
Gin ran to the spy. The spy was as fast as a cheetah. But Gin was faster. Rocket was fast as well. He ran beside Gin. Akame and Tesshin were in the trees. They were jumping from branch to branch. Tesshin then jumped down onto the spy and took him or her down.
"You got her." Rocket yelled.
Everyone else caught up as well.
"Who is it?" Weed asked.
The spy turned around and it was Ryo. Weed and the others eyes were wide open.
"Ryo." Weed said.
Meanwhile. In the cells of Gajo. Teru, Ben, Cross, Moss, Kurotora, and Sasuke.
Teru was laying on the ground and so was Ben and Cross and Moss. Kurotora was pacing in anger. Sasuke was just sitting down. Teru got up and walked around. He went to go talk to Sasuke.
"Is Kyoshiro alright?" Teru asked Sasuke.
"He's mad that your still here." Sasuke said.
"Maybe there is a way out." Teru thought to himself.
"Maybe." Sasuke said.
Teru looked around and saw no way out. But he then looked out the cell door and saw that Spike was coming. Spikes men open the door. Kurotora pounced but Misty grabbed his neck and took the old man down. The others made sure that no one moved.
"Teru." Spike said entering to walk up to the pup. "You enjoying your company?"
"What do you want." Teru asked.
Spike smirked. "I was thinking about handing you over to them. Maybe all of you. Just give them what they want and no one gets hurt. But only one can stay." Spike was sitting down and Teru was listening.
"Yes?" Teru said.
"Now, you can leave one of these dogs here with me, or you can leave yourself here."
"But, we all want to go back." Teru said.
"Yes, but the one staying will still be my hostage, and the others will be alive. For now," Spike stated. Teru looked at everyone, none of them looked like they wanted to stay, but they would risk losing their lives. "So, who's staying?"
Teru looked back at them all. He didn't know who to choose. Teru began to talk.
"I…"
Meanwhile, in the woods with Weed and the others.
Weed was shocked to see Ryo out here. He didn't want to believe that she betrayed him. Ryo got up.
"You weren't supposed to see that." Ryo said.
Weed stood there. Gin was more mad at her then anyone else.
"You . . . Told them to . . ." Weed stuttered.
"Yes, I told them to take Sasuke, and the others." Ryo said.
"Why?"
"Because of what happened to my brother, and Jerome, and everyone else we lost. Me and my brothers wouldn't be here if Jerome didn't come to us."
"What difference would it make?" Akame asked her.
Ryo just stood there, her eyes were full with tears.
"I'm sorry for what happened." Weed said.
"No, you're not." Ryo said.
Kyoshiro stepped in. "We can't let her go back. She's one of them."
"Maybe we should take her hostage for now." Yukimura suggested. "It would make a good trade for Teru and the others."
"It won't be enough." GB said.
"We have the Kishu." Yukimura added. Akame was startled. "Again, it'd make a good trade."
"She doesn't want to go back." Akame said.
"Then we're not getting Teru or anyone back."
Gin sighed. "Two still wouldn't be enough."
Everyone just stood silent.
"If we're not going to trade. Then we need to fight." Yukimura said.
"What about her." Ken asked Weed.
Weed looked at her. "Just make sure she doesn't leave."
And so, everyone went back to camp to get prepared for what might be an intense war.
Morning. Back at camp.
"Are we all set." Yukimura asked. Gin and Yukimura has an army of 400 males. It's over 300 at least. Gin turned to Yukimura.
"We're ready." Gin replied. Yukimura looked back and saw Weed talking to his friends.
"Listen, I've heard your son isn't much of a killer."
"Yeah?"
"So, if he's not going to kill Spike, then I'm going to." Gin looked at him. Yukimura was making it clear that he will be the one who kills him. "I just need to know if you can trust me."
Gin looked at him. "I trust you."
Meanwhile Akame was near the river. He was talking to Jane for a while.
"So, you're leaving?" Jane asked.
"I have no choice." Akame said. Jane stood up.
"Let me help you."
"No, you're not ready to fight yet. You could barely fight me." Akame tried to convince her to stay.
"I was only tired that time. I'm wide awake now. I promise I won't get in the way. Please." No matter how much Jane begged, Akame still wouldn't allow it.
"Just stay here. Rest. That's how I have my energy. I rest a lot." Akame said. Jane sat down. "I'll come back." Jane looked at him. She then smiled and kissed him. Akame was too happy. "I'll miss you too."
Jane smiled back. "I never said I'll miss you."
And so, Akame left Jane to go with Gin. The whole army is marching west, where the first outpost of spikes is. Weed walked with his father.
"What were you and Yukimura talking about." He asked Gin. Gin looked at him.
"We were just talking, nothing that big." Gin said. Gin and Yukimura march to the West. Where it will be.
"The Start of a War."
