~ Something more evil than Kurei, Ura Uruha! ~

Chapter11 – The Most Important Possession

Kurei was knocked out by Recca at the end of the match. All members of the Uruha Jyushinshu had their own way. Jisho, Genjuroh, Noroi, and Kai went to their own rightful destinations. Raiha ran to the aid of Miss Tsukino. Joker went away together with Menou, and the other three Jushinshus sided with Kouran Mori. All that is left for Kurei is Neon. However, he didn't noticed Neon's presence. As Recca and His friends rejoice, Kurei stood up and ran to the mountains above. His heart is very calm. As if he was in a dream world, or perhaps just a feeling of comfort. There, he closed his eyes and felt very contented in the match. Even though he didn't win, at least, he was able to face his own brother again. However…

A fiery glow of flames struck Kurei at the back. Soon, Kurei's body was again covered with blood. As he struggls to get up to see what hit him, he saw a frightful face, Kouran Mori together with Mowkuren and two other unknown Ura Uruha assassins. He didn't care to see Mori's face. He was more interested on the assassin dressed like him.

A hybrid of Kurei and Kurenai's genes, together, they created a very powerful clone, even more powerful than Kurei, Renge. Kurei seathing with anger throwed a punch at Renge, but he is now powerless and was blasted again with big gouts of flame.

Kouran Mori smiles at the helpless Kurei. "Do you remember this remote?" Kouran asked as he takes out a device from his pocket, "Hahaha. Now, after Kurenai, care to take a wild guess of who will be next?" Kurei was in a state of shock. He could neither move his arms nor his legs. Then, another evil grin followed Mori's words, finally he talked again, "EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, I SHALL TAKE AWAY!" Kouran pressed the remote. Another name was listed in Saint Peter's log book, Tsukino Mori! Kurei with his last bits of strength shouted out and tried to throw another punch. As Renge is preparing to kill Kurei with another blast of flames, a woman forcefully pushed her away. Neon, he hugs Kurei and had themselves thrown into the vast ocean below.

For days, Kurei fell on a deep sleep. Still Neon kept on believing that one day, Kurei will wake up. At the tenth day, Kurei is in the middle of a bad dream… Renge, the combination of genes, was created. Mori Kouran finally brought out the power of his Ura Uruha. Soon, the same words scared him again, "EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, I SHALL TAKE AWAY!" Finally, it woke him up at his sleep.

Neon then heard Kurei's hysterical scream and hurriedly ran to Kurei. She brought him some food and water and placed them on the table. "This place…" Kurei whispered. Neon explained that the house was just abandoned for years. At first, she thought of bringing Kurei to the hospital, however, the Ura Uruha might find them and kill them. It's best to stay in this haunted area where no one would bother them anymore.

Kurei looked at Neon. What he saw was a Neon he never saw before. Her face was all pale, and she grown so thin. "What happened to you, Neon?" Kurei asked with broken voice. Neon smiled with her tears running down her eyes "Master Kurei, you cared so much for me. It's nothing. I can handle it. Even a little help, even just a little help, I would gladly do. Just to make you happy."

Kurei felt very ashamed of himself. Despite the hell he brought to Neon, she remained loyal to him. Perhaps the most loyal Jyushinshu ever. Every member of the Jyushinshus were either killed or went their separate ways. The only one left for him is Neon. As Neon gave Kurei his food, Kurei suddenly choked as he remembered those words… EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, I SHALL TAKE AWAY!!! Neon dropped the food she was holding and ran to Kurei's aid. "It's nothing. I'm here Master Kurei. As long as I'm here, You'll be safe."

"I no longer want to fight." Kurei said. Neon hugged him and said, "Then so be it. Everything is over now. We will live a life filled with happiness. All the hell you've gone through is already far enough. Let's live at a place where no one knows. Let's live a peaceful life, and entrust the fall of Ura Uruha to Hokage's hands."

That night, Kurei and Neon did their parts. As Kurei's face nears Neon, Neon whispered through her mind, "I shall not disappear. Forever, I swore my eternal loyalty to you, master. Not even my life would be enough to repay you for all the things you've done for me."

The union lasted only for so long. Kurei went out to see the bright moon above not knowing that the danger slowly approaches them. A big fat guy appeared in the woods and shoved Kurei out of his feet. That time, Neon was awakened as she feels Kurei is in danger. She hurriedly got herself dressed up and ran outside to see what's happening. Kurei shouted at Neon not to come but it's too late. The fat guy throwed a punch and knocked Neon down.

~ EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, I SHALL TAKE AWAY… TAKE AWAY! TAKE AWAY! TAKE AWAY! ~

~ What are you saying Mori? Don't joke around. I'm not letting you do it. You may have killed My mother. You may have taken Koganei away from me but, I will not let you take Neon away. I will not let you take my last possession away from me! ~

With his anger, Kurei finally got his powers back and burned the fat man to ashes. Kurei looked down at Neon. Then he bowed down and lifted Neon up. Even though Neon is out cold, She could feel Kurei's tears falling down her cheeks. For the first time, She felt Kurei's tears. More importantly, it's the first time Kurei showed her true feelings to his friend. That time, Kurei no longer honors Neon as his friend nor his best friend rather, he now honors her as the most important possession in his life.

Luckily, he found a good doctor who agreed to cure Neon for free. Kurei felt so happy that Neon is safe. As he was about to leave, he told the doctor that once Neon wakes up, tell her to forget about him and live a peaceful life of her own. He said that he couldn't live peacefully unless Kouran Mori is dead. Shortly, Neon opened her eyes and Kurei's words was narrated to her. She cried out and shouted for Kurei's name. But Kurei could no longer hear her. At that time, Kurei has already left the hospital and has headed for one place, The new Tsuki no Miya!
