Chapter 52: I'll always love you.
Gin stopped his pack to rest up. Their real close to arriving to Hokkaido. He stopped so they all can rest up. They all settled in. Gin stood on the hill looking at the mountains where Hokkaido is. Akame sat next to him.
"Is Jane out of our pack." Akame asked.
"I don't know." Gin closed his eyes and sighed. "I know why she's doing this. But I . . . I don't."
"I can speak for her Gin. She doesn't have to leave."
"Akame. I know you're trying to protect her, but what she is doing is putting us at risk, but mostly for Weed. Or maybe all of us. Regardless Spike knows where we are."
"I understand, but . . ."
"Gin!" Yukimura interrupted their conversation. "Sorry to interrupt, but I need to show you something."
Gin, and Akame followed. Yukimura found a cave near by, enough to fit ten bears. It was slightly dark, but had a little light shined. A river of water was in the cave.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Yukimura asked Gin.
"Indeed." Gin replied.
"I think we should leave half the pack here." Yukimura suggested to Gin. "Not all of them, but the ones that can't fight. We can leave a few fighters here if we can, only if Spikes minions come and find this cave."
"I agree." Akame said. "Misty is pregnant, we can't leave her with us while we go into battle with others. And Ben. He's too old."
"I understand. This cave looks empty and it doesn't look like anyone claimed this area. We shall leave who ever can't fight here." Gin said.
"I'll leave some of my men here, and ask Joe if he can spare a few as well." Yukimura said.
"No, some of my pack are fighters. We need everyone we can to stop this bastard." Gin said.
"Correct, but what if he ends up throwing others of fighters here. Than we lose everyone here." Yuki advised. "I'll leave a few. Let's just talk to the others."
Later that day. many of the children and women decided to stay in the cave. Misty stayed. So did Cross and Ben. Masato called for Lilith. He spoke to her in Russian. He said.
"I want you to stay here to. I can't lose you."
"No! I came to fight beside you. I did this for you." Lilith begged. "Don't let me stay."
"You know I can't say no. But I have to say it just this once. You are a fighter, a true fighter. Tough enough to take any foe down. Tough enough to take me down to." Masato chuckled.
"Masato." Lilith said. But Masato placed his paw on her shoulder.
"I will always love you. I will always love my pack. And the family I have left. Let me sacrifice myself for you, one final time."
After that Lilith sighed holding her tears in. She hugged him.
"I love you. You were too much like a father to me." Lilith said.
"You young pups were all like my children. Thank you for everything." Masato stood tall. "Now, I'll kill everyone of those bastards until I fall."
Lilith smiled.
Ben spoke to his parents.
"I'll be safe mom." Ben told his mother. He left to join the others. He ran into Kagetora.
"Don't you wanna stay." Kage asked.
"No, I'm good. I'd rather help right now. My father and mother will be okay here." Ken told him. "Did you say your goodbyes to your father?"
"Of course I did." Kage said. "So, about Jane."
"Yeah?"
"Do you want her back after what she did?"
Ken wasn't sure what he wanted to do with her. But when the time came it would have to be one choice and one choice only. Let her stay, or exile her forever.
"If something happens to Weed." Ken said. "I want her out. But than again. If she can redeem herself somehow, and Weed is safe once more. Than she can stay."
"Yeah." Kage said. "I was thinking the same also."
"I'd want her out." G.B. interrupted. "Weed has given us back everything we almost gave up on. And all Jane did was play her way into retrieving Weed. I don't mean to sound dark. But I don't want her near me or anyone."
"G.B. said it." Kyoshiro said coming over. "She tricked us. And it was all so she can stab us in the back. You'd think after months going by it would come from Misty. But No. It comes from Jane."
"What about you Kage?" G.B. asked. Kage nodded.
"I agree." Ken couldn't argue about that so he let Kage have his own opinion.
"But do you know why she did this?" Rocket came out. "Akame told us that she's doing this to save us. Even thought I'm not saying she's doing the right thing, but she's being manipulated. Spike is telling her to do all of this. I know she wouldn't hurt us."
"That's what you think. Whatever." Kyo sighed. "Hook! Sasuke! Come here!" Sasuke came over, but Hook was still talking to Misty. "Sasuke, should Jane stay when we meet up with her again."
"Well, I don't know. She seems nice to me." Sasuke said.
"Nice!?" G.B. asked. "She took Weed away!"
"Yeah but, it's not like she wanted to do it."
As they argued, Hook and Misty have their discussion. Maybe their last. Hook hugged her.
"I'll be fine Hook. Just bring Jane back for me." Misty said.
"Promise." Hook smiled. They than part. He walked to kyo and the others to see what they wanted. "What did you guys want."
"Does Jane stay?" Kyoshiro asked.
"Oh! uh!" Hook didn't know how to answer that.
"What! Can't answer that?! Rather keep your girlfriend happy?!" Kyo got out of hand. Ken jumped in to calm things down.
"Kyo stop! We can't fight among ourselves. For now, we're not going to decide whether Jane stays or not. We're going to focus on stopping her. And Spike too. Set her a side and have more focus on Weed." As Ken is correct on this conversation. Kyoshiro nodded and backed off.
"I'm sorry." Kyoshiro sighed.
"No, it's fine." Hook forgave Kyo and walked away.
Later as they were all set. Gin and the others got ready to go. Yuki was walking with them, but Joe pulled him into the bushes to have a conversation.
"I'm staying." Joe said.
"What?" Yukimura asked.
"Listen, if Any of them get away we'll stop them if they come here okay. Take some of my men if you must, but someone has to stay back." Yukimura excepted his decision. "Listen Yuki. You better kill Spike. You don't, I'll kill him myself."
Yuki left with Gin and the rest of the pack. Joe bowed farewell to his father. Gin turned and smiled. They all ran to Hokkaido.
Jerome . . .
Jerome stared out into the stars. Lydia and Maxime were in the barn resting. Night was dark. Jerome enjoyed watching the stars rise. It was interrupted when Lydia sat next to him.
"Still hate my brother?" Lydia asked.
"Why would I? We're working together are we not?" Jerome asked
"Seems like when I mention him he makes you sick."
"No, he can be a show off sometimes, but it doesn't change me at all."
"So, that bullet wound." Lydia saw it. She placed her paw on it. "Does it hurt when I touch it?"
"No. Not really. Not anymore. I feel a sting once in a while. But it never hurts enough to make me limp." Jerome explained. Lydia licked it. It gave Jerome a chill. "What are you doing?" Lydia giggled.
"Does kissing it make you feel even more better." Lydia asked. Jerome and Lydia were just continuing their conversation, as it was happening. Maxime was watching Jerome win his sister over. He didn't know how it made him feel, but it never angered him in anyway. Max can show some ways of exception.
To be continued . . .
