Hey you guys :3 Time for a new chapter. But first things first:

Tigerizza- I freaking LOVE Okami. And Okamiden. They keep saying there'll be a new one on the 3DS and that's saddening because I don't have one xP

Darkcrazycat- Yes I agree, that should be a VERY important rule. xD

Veronica- Thanks a bunch! I enjoy writing this story a whole bunch!

And here we go :3


-Bars of What Could've Been-

One month later:

-Tigress' POV-

It's dark, too dark.

But I can tell he's there.

I feel his warmth surround me,

His presence fills the air.

He opens his eyes, finally.

Glowing that wonderful blue.

Tears form around his eyes,

They form in my eyes too.

But all of a sudden,

A golden light pulls him.

I do not release his hand,

For it will not go dim.

The ocean waters recede,

But will not come back.

I'm told to release him,

But stubbornness I do not lack.

Something pries my fingers,

Something I now hate.

I turn to see an evil,

Not the strongest can create.

It took the form of a shaking wolf,

It smirks at my pain.

I pierce my sword through his heart,

And prepared for the punishment I would gain.

I'm running. I keep running. Trying to stop thinking of my horrible nightmares would be impossible. Is impossible. I take a break on a large rock. From here, I see quite a few rhinos in front of the Jade Palace doors.

No hesitation in my actions, I jump down to the stairs and sprint to where they were.

I push past the rhinos. They were guards of Chorgom Prison I recognize. I push open the doors.

"Master I-"

But I was interrupted by the sound of Dai Lin struggling. Four of the guards surrounded Dai Lin, and threw shackles everywhere on him. He roared at the top of his lungs, but the held his muscular arms.

"Master, aren't you going to stop them?!" I say to Shifu questionably. He had his arms crossed, a stern expression covered his face.

"Dai Lin needs to pay for what he's done. He's been sentenced to fifty years in prison."

My eyes widen. My mind went blank. I recall. Saying something now will just get me thrown in also. And Dai Lin knew this. That's why he has not told anyone I knew. His face filled with pain, turns to give me one last hurt look. I freeze. I feel shivers racing down my arms. I knew this day would come.

"They found a sword in the forest. It had Dai Lin's paw prints, and the blood of Ade Rellins and his father." Shifu explains. Hearing this again sends me back to excruciating pain. My pained expression quickly shifts to a hard one. Covering up what I know is all I can do. And all I can do is watch the guards drag Dai Lin.

Dai Lin.


AHHH The end. Of the chapter. Yeah I know it's another short one. I'm just so tired -.- I love you guys and until next time, PEACE.
