Chapter 36: Jane's Final Memory

"Akame!" A voice called out. Jane ran to Akame. Akame came out from the den. "I know why I'm here." Akame's eyebrow was up.

Jane's Final Memory . . .

"Hakuro! Let me fight him. You get to the pack that was escorted." Jerome said. Hakuro scoffed.

"Why? Because I'm old, I need to back down from a fight." Hakuro said.

"I didn't say that." Jerome smiled.

"Than don't tell an Ou soldier to cowar away."

"I didn't say that either."

After the two of them joked around. Victor made his move and fought Jerome first. Victor grabbed Jerome by the neck. Jerome grabbed him by the back and threw him to two other dogs that were fighting, stopping them from killing each other. Hakuro ran to Victor, Jerome tried to stop him, but Hakuro made it just in time to grab him by the muzzle. Victor let out a yipe. He struggled to get out of Hakuros grasp, but they then fell down and both started spinning. They both spun like a wheel. Just when they stopped, a dog grabbed Hakuro by the top of his muzzle. This dog barely had any flesh on his muzzle. Hakuro looked at him. It was a German shepherd with a skeletal Muzzle.

"Am I interrupting something?" Aram said.

"Bastard!" Hakuro said as Aram made Hakuro let go of Victor. Victor stood back and looked at the dog that helped him. He smirked.

"Aram. It's been a while." Victor said.

"It sure has." Aram replied. He throws Hakuro to his pack. Some of his pack members hold him down so he doesn't escape. Aram slowly turns and see's Lydia in the crowd. He smile. "Lydia, nice to finely reunite, surely you remember your brother. Maxim!"

Maxim walks up. He shows with a black pelt and a missing eye. His left eye was shut. A gunshot wound was over the left side of his face, over his missing eye. He smiled finely seeing his sister again.

"Hello again, Lydia." Maxim said. "You got chubby last we met."

"Now I don't miss you." She said to herself. She said to him. "Your so nice, jerk."

"I know."

Victor interrupted. "Alright enough lovey Dovey shit. I came back . . ."

"To fight me." Jerome finished.

"What?"

"You'll fight me. I want to kill you Victor. At least so I can pay back Hakuro for his support."

"Sounds like a waste of time."

"No Jerome!" Hakuro said. "I'll fight him, just find Jane and get the hell off this island. Go far away from here and never come back. Please Jerome, wasting your life won't be worth a damn."

"At least I'll have my place of death." Jerome told him. "You want to fight or no?"

"I'll accept." Victor said. "Wasting your whole life for an old man. sounds like you really love him."

"You should talk. I remember when he fought you." Jerome told him. Victor growled and tried to make his first strike. Jerome backed away dodging Victors bites. Jerome had a chance to grab him by the neck and knock him down, he tried that, but Victor instead grabbed him by the neck and rammed him into a boulder.

Aram stood with his pack and watched the two shepherds beat each other up. While he was, Spike arrived to see the show. He dropped Jane on the ground. Jane couldn't get up, so she just moved her head around to see who was winning and who was losing.

"What did I miss?" Spike said as Jerome and Victor were still fighting.

"Victor was going to fight Hakuro. Dog named Jerome was going to fight him instead. Blah Blah Blah." Aram said.

"Ok, I didn't miss a lot."

"Nope."

Victor and Jerome let go of each other and stood back. Wounds weren't too bad, but they were both panting. They circled each other, Victor struck. Jerome was going to dodge him but he was so tired and injured to even move. Victor grabbed him and threw him in the air. Jerome landed. Jerome slowly got up.

"Weed." Jerome said in his head. "I found my place of death. Please forgive me." Victor grabbed him by the leg and threw him at the same boulder. Jerome was still getting up. Hakuro struggled to get out of the crowd.

"Now. Let's finish this already." Victor said. He scraped the ground with his paw. He bared his teeth getting ready to pull his throat out. He ran to Jerome.

Hakuro saw what Victor was going to do. Jerome stood their. He closed his eyes, accepting his fate. Jane laid there, with tears falling down her face. Victor opened his mouth with his sharp teeth shining on Jerome's closed eyes. Jerome than heard a chomp. But it wasn't his neck. He opened his eyes and saw Hakuro. Victor saw who he grabbed and smirked. He than pulled the flesh of his neck out.

SSSSPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hakuro's Blood gushing right out of his neck. Hakuro cried.

"Jerome! It's not your time! You must survive! For Jane, For Gin, For John . . . For Gin's Son." Hakuro than collapsed to the ground. He laid there bleeding out. Jane cried to herself. Jerome hung his head. Feeling a shamed that he didn't have his life be taken by a reckless monster. Jerome kept each word that Hakuro said in his head.

Hakuro softly shut his eyes. Winds started blowing, symbolizing Hakuro leaving this cruel world. The Wind blew towards every direction. When Gin laid down waiting for his son to arrive, he felt a chill riding up against his spine. He felt the wind blowing his fur around.

Jerome looked at Hakuro's corpse. Tears fell down his face. Jane looked at him. She was shaking a little. Spike lowered his head to talk to her.

"Take a good long look at that." Spike said. "What happened to Hakuro, will happen to Gin and his entire pack. You make sure they know that." Jane looked at Hakuro and sighed.

Present . . .

Jane and Akame were sitting at the lake. Akame was hearing the message Jane was giving him.

"Victor killed Hakuro?" Akame asked.

"Yes." Jane said with her head down. "It should have been me. At least the old man would still be alive."

"Don't blame yourself. He was a tough soldier. He didn't die in vain."

"I like to think that. But I don't know."

Akame and Jane just sat together talking about it. Akame was going to tell the others, but he thinks Jane might need to be fixed a little more before they go any further.

Gin . . .

"Hakuro?" Gin said.

"Yes." Akame said.

Gin stood back. Weed got up to make sure he was okay. Yukimura didn't move at all.

"We can't let this get to our heads too much." Yukimura said. "As sad as this is. We need to make sure we are ready for what ever Spike sends us."

"But how?" Weed asked.

"Joe's coming right?" Yukimura asked.

"Yeah?" Weed replied.

"We need to convince him to join our pack. We need more numbers than ever. If Spike formed an alliance with a brand new group with god knows how many. We're done for. We need as much as we need to take them all down. I've found some different allies through my travels before ever meeting you all. Maybe they can help."

"Who else do you know?" Akame asked.

"Their's a brotherhood I know of. If that helps." Yukimura said.

"Anyone else?" Gin asked.

"That's it. They're down south in Kumamoto. A secret brotherhood who lives down there. I met them in person, but only lasted like six seconds." Yukimura thought for a second. I thought some dogs in Tokyo would be able to join me. I have some dogs back where my . . . Dad's home is. But other than that. That's it."

"Would this be enough?" Weed asked.

"I don't know son." Gin said. "But it's better than nothing at all."

"Father? You might need to convince Joe." Weed said.

"Why?" Gin asked.

"Because he's also your son." Weed said.

Yuki's eyes were wide open. Akame's was too.

Woods . . . GB

GB was searching for more food for his pack. Kyoshiro and Sasuke split up to cover more ground. GB was all by his self. He looked around and saw nothing. He than saw black fur against a tree. GB scoped it. He hid in the bushes to see what it was. He saw a woman. A female German Shepherd sleeping next to a tree. GB was speechless. He took a deep breath and walked toward her. He tip toad and the female got up real fast backing away. GB tried to calm things down.

"It's okay." GB said. "I'm not going to hurt you." The female shacked. "Are you okay? What's your name?"

"I'm Sora. Daughter of John." She said.

GB had his eyes open. He thought to himself. 'John had kids. How did this happen?' They both stared at each other.
