Chapter 54: Faith
Gin . . .
"Everyone stop!" Gin ordered. "Yuki, kyo. Go up the trees. Scope the area."
"Yes Leader!" Kyoshiro said. He climbed up with Yukimura. Yukimura was at the top, faster than Kyoshiro. He spotted nothing. But he sighed and scratched the trees in anger.
"Damn!" Yuki swore. "Why Weed. Why did you choose him Jane?" He said to himself.
As they landed down on the ground. Yuki and Kyo were disappointed in their search. Gin wasn't mad, but it worry's him more and more when he has no idea of where Weed may have gone. Gin paced thinking. Akame reassured him to keep him focused. Gin took a breath. He looked around to see other possible places they may have gone.
"Let's check the Gorge." Gin suggested.
"What makes you think he's down there?" Kyoshiro asked. "We can't find him."
"Maybe Janes making the deal now. We can stop her before she does." Gin said.
"Gin." Yukimura started. "How can we be sure. How can anyone be sure about this. Weed and you is all he wanted, maybe he will leave us alone if we."
"Shame on you!" GB interrupted. "Weed has done so much for us and you wanna say that what Jane's doing is okay?"
"We can't give up now." Akame said. "We came this Far, let's finish it. Once and for all."
"Jane is out!" Kyoshiro said.
"What?!" Gin asked.
"Half of the pack wants her gone, the others don't. We wanna hear from you Gin. We wanna know Janes Fate. We wanna know if she stays. If she goes. Or we Go." Kyoshiro made that strictly clear.
"Gin?" Akame said.
Gin stood there looking at Kyo. The others were waiting for an answer. Gin wants to give them a good clear answer, but even he hasn't decided.
Meanwhile . . . Weed and Jane.
Weed and Jane have been walking for miles. Weed had his head down for a while. Feeling bad for saying those horrible things to Jane. Jane feels ashamed for her lies. That's all she hates. Jane turned to Weed and they both looked at each other.
"We don't have to do this." Jane said. "If you want to. You can go back."
"I can't. I don't want to." Weed said. "I was thinking, Jerome can deliver the message. He may not except, but I will demand him to do so."
"Yeah." Jane said.
As they were about to pass a big tree, a leaf fell on Weeds nose. He picked up a scent and he looked up. He saw Teshin. Little Brother to Ben and Kagetora.
"Teshin!" Weed yelled.
Jane was tackled down by G.B. from behind. Weed backed away and most of the pack came out. Some put Weed behind them to protect their Leader.
"Weed!" Gin came out. "I'm relieved you made it."
"Father?" Weed said. He turned to see Jane in G.B.s jaws. "G.B. Let her go."
G.B. released her. Jane inhaled and exhaled.
"Weed, we need to leave." G.B. informed.
"Jane tricked you. She's leading you to Spike." Kyoshiro added.
"I know, I know." Weed said. "She told me everything, and I'm going to Spike."
"What!?" Kyo asked. Everyone was confused about this.
"Weed, what are you talking about?" Yukimura asked. "Spike is going to kill you.
"No, Jane explained everything. She told me what would happen if I chose to be with Spike. And what she is saying is true. Because she was a member of another pack like us. Spike only wants me."
"Weed stop protecting her, and let's go." Yukimura said.
"No listen." Weed said. "He has . . ." Weed paused and couldn't say his name. He believed that they may not believe him.
"Who?" Gin asked. "He has who?"
Weed struggled to say it. He wants them to believe him and he wants this all to go well.
"Jerome." Weed said. "He has Jerome."
Everyone paused. Gin sighed.
"Weed . . ." Gin started.
"You just said that to bring him here did you?" Kyoshiro walked up to Jane. "Did you?!" He head butted her.
"Kyo!" Weed said.
"You couldn't find any other way, so that was the only one." Kyoshiro said. "You used him!"
"She didn't!" Weed pushed away. "She didn't tell me that until we went on the boat. She told me Kotetsu was taken. Than when I saw her lie, she told me everything. She told me why she did all of this."
"Weed. I know you aren't this stupid and idiotic to believe all this. She could have said any of that, to get you to follow her. But than, OH! JEROMES ALIVE! THE ONE I CAN'T GET OVER IS SOME HOW IN SPIKES LAP!"
"That's enough!" Gin said.
"Stop it Kyoshiro!" G.B. said.
"This is getting out of hand." Ken said.
"Kyo drop it already!" Kagetora said.
"She isn't lying!" Weed said.
"Jerome is Dead! You dumb ass!" Kyo said.
"Kyo!" Sasuke said.
"Stop talking to him like this!" Rocket said.
"Stop talking to him like what?!" Kyoshiro asked. "We've been telling him this from the start. It wasn't his fault. But you know what, we put so much in front of us that I've lost track in what to call you. If you're my leader. Or if you're . . ."
"Shut up!" G.B. Said getting between them. "That's enough!"
"You're right!" Kyoshiro said. "Leader does Jane stay?"
Weed looked up to see his father. His Father opened his mouth to reveal his answer, but.
"You don't have to decide!" Jane said. Everyone looked at her. "I don't have to stay if you don't want, but please. Keep Misty. I don't want her with me. She wouldn't be safe with me."
The pack looked at her.
"We'll protect her. But you. We want you to help us." Gin said.
"What?!" Kyo went.
"We all want you back."
Weed smiled at his father. Half the pack was glad, the other weren't. Kyoshiro slowly turned his head to Jane. He charged at her, but he was grabbed by the leg. Weed stopped him, before he could harm her. Kyoshiro tackled Weed and they both fought. G.B. and the others tried to break it up. But Weed told them No!
"This is my fight. I'll finish it." He said. Kyo was on top of him. Weed put his back feet on his stomach and kicked him off. He than hit a tree. Kyoshiro was recovering from his injurys. Weed stood over him. Kyo was about to speak but Weed barked. "No! I don't want to hear another word! I'm tired of it. This! This is what Spike wants. To break us, to tear us apart. We were all one! One of many! But now that was taken away from all the madness Spike has thrown at us! But now! I want you to stand!" Weed got on top of a boulder. "I want to stop all of this before it's too late. I want to fight beside all my allies. Even the ones I've been fighting with. Will you join me? Kyoshiro? And take Spike down? Even if what you say is true?" Kyoshiro looked around him, as if everyone, even the one that wanted Jane gone have chose Weed over him. Kyoshiro stood up.
"Yes." Kyoshiro bowed. "I will fight beside you. In the end. We will finally live. Peacefully."
Weed saw everyone bowing. Even Gin and Yuki. Jane bowed as well. Weed was proud. He feels as if his mother can see everything that's happening now. Weed let out a howl.
Howl!
Because He had Faith.
Meanwhile with Jerome . . . Night time
Jerome, Max, Lydia, and Ram were staring at the stars.
"I see the dipper!" Ram said.
"Where?" Jerome asked.
"Right there! See it!"
"Yep." Jerome saw the Dipper. Lydia laid her head on Jeromes shoulder. Maxime noticed. But he didn't care. He can have her, he thought.
"Sh!" Ram said. "Do you hear that?"
"No." Jerome said getting in position. Ram walked a little closer and saw something move in the bushes.
"Did you see that?" Ram said beside Jerome.
"What?" Lydia asked.
"Their is something in the woods." Ram walked down to see. Max and the others stayed back. However Max saw what no one else could see.
"RAM! Come Back!" Maxime yelled.
Ram was tackled by a Blood Thirsty. Jerome wanted to run. But.
"Stay still." Spike was behind him, with men behind him also. Jerome had a grin. Lydia and Max were caught. Ram on the ground. "Let's make our arrangement. Shall we?"
To be continued. . . .
