Chapter 9
"Xavier?" Ryuzaki echoed, looking suspicious.
"I saw him. The reason I've been gone a lot is because I've been following him. And he's deputy, what now?"
"Have you told anyone?"
"No, At first I wasn't sure, but now I am."
Ryuzaki thought a moment. "It's dangerous to follow him, and against the Warrior Code to go on other clan's grounds."
"Like that hasn't happened!" Light snapped. "I think he knows that I saw him kill them, he'll go after me and get rid of me!"
"No he won't. Follow me." Ryuzaki motioned him to follow to the tent where the twins were with Kerry, Eddy, and Vitani. Ryuzaki nodded in respect and motioned to Light. "Listen, he needs our help."
"What's up?" Eddy asked.
The twins looked confused. "Adam said you thought that he was out too much." Kaoru objected.
"I was incorrect. Where's Adam?" They shrugged.
"So, what's he need help for?" Eddy asked.
"Xavier want to kill me." Light replied sadly.
"Oh, why would he do that?" Kerry soothed.
"Because I saw him do some horrible things."
"What things?"
"I saw him kill the last three warriors who turned up dead. And now, he's after me. He's betraying our clan, and I want to stop it."
"Well, we won't let him touch you!" Kerry sympathized.
"Thank you." Light replied.
"He'll try to kill you if you're alone, so make sure your with someone at all times." Ryuzaki told him, making Light shake at the comment. Just the thought sent chills through his body.
"We need more help." Hikaru objected.
"If others show interest, then we tell them." Ryuzaki told him.
"What if Xavier tried to kill one of us?" Eddy questioned. "If we're around him all the time maybe he'll try to get us too, and then Light will be alone." Eddy closed his eyes. "Dammit." He opened them. "Dammit."
"I'm sorry, your endangering yourselves." Light began, but Ryuzaki interrupted.
"Clans are supposed to risk their lives for their clan mates. It's in the warrior code."
"If your risking your life for me, I could do no less. We have to reveal his true intentions and see that he pays."
