Bloodbound

Chapter 9 - Brotherhood, ties that bind.

Out in the forest Kane was walking slowly he was in no rush, he had known Kyuubi's intentions but was unable to bring himself to interfere.

He had decided to look for an answer at the stone ring, as he got there it was just getting light.

Kane was little dazzled by the sunlight, for the passed three hundred years he'd hidden away in darkness.

Kane kneeled down at the stone tablet, Kane started to talk to the rocks.

"Please give me the strength to combat this pain I feel, too long I have lived in this cruel world. I no longer have the strength to go on, I wish to die and join you in the next life. Please help me..."

Kane continued to talk not even noticing the Werewolf, the huge beast stood leaning against a tree. It watched the smaller man, listening to the words. It was when the man started to cry that the beast moved.

"I want to see you again brothers, I want to see you again. I want to go back to the garden. I wan...." Kane was cut off by a pair of hairy arms wrapping around him.

Kane didn't move he was still blabbering on, tears rolling down his cheeks to land on the fur covered arms.

"If you're going to kill me then kill me..." Kane was saying through tears.

However the furry arms did nothing, simply holding the vampire firmly against a fur covered chest.

Kane suddenly caught the beast sent and stopped crying, instead he leaned back into the beast's embrace.

Then the Werewolf began to hum, Kane instantly recognised the tune and sang the words to the song.

When the beast stopped humming Kane turned to look at the beast, his vampire eye's meeting the beast eyes. In those eye's he saw the look he'd thought he'd lost so long ago...

"Is it you big brother..."

Kane's answer came in the from of a nod, Kane's tears came again as he buried his head into the beast's chest.

"I thought you were dead, laid to rest year's ago" Kane said.

"No he did not die, he has been waiting here for over five hundred years" Kane looked around to see the old women. She was sat on the stone tablet; she removed her hood smiling at the man.

"It's nice to see you two together again..."

The old women's voice was soft and sweet.

"Mother....." Kane passed out from shook; the Werewolf caught him and laid him down gently on the stone tablet.

"My son your children need you, go now for fill your oath"

With those words the Werewolf tore off toward the city.

Kane awoke to see the beast leave, he closed his eyes again.

"Good luck, William"

The Werewolf raced towards the vampire keep at the centre of the city, fear and anger driving him on.

The only though going through his head was...

'I coming pup, just hold on...'
