-------------------------------------------------------
Chapter thirteen:brbr
Sakuragi stared at Youhei's lifeless body, face expressionless. The pain is too much to bear, he would rather lock himself inside his own world of grayness and never need to stand up and face the truth again. Youhei's body is now cold, the muscles had lost their usual flexibility, he felt so unfamiliar in Sakuragi's arms.
brbr
Rukawa looked helpless; there's nothing he could do to make Sakuragi feel better. Although he'd only known the FoxHunters for a few days, but he could feel the strong bond of friendship between Sakuragi and Youhei. They grew up together; Youhei had unconsciously became a part of Sakuragi. Now Youhei is dead, half of Sakuragi's heart had been torn away.
brbr
The lid that kept Sakuragi's emotions enclosed shattered due to the strong force, his blank eyes suddenly burst into flames, tears cascaded down his cheeks wildly. Sakuragi roared, indescribable pain poured out of his body through his throat. The impact of the roar was so big; birds flew out of the trees they dwelled in, even the charging Combined Camp stopped midway, awed by the roar.
brbr
Rukawa took a few steps back, waves of power exploded from Sakuragi's body while he roared, like a strong tornado Rukawa was pulled away. While shedding his eyes from the strong wind, plans quickly rumbled through his head. He can see the Combined Camp, they're now temporarily stopped by Sakuragi's emotional blow, but seconds later they'll start advancing towards them.
brbr
Rukawa's hope dropped after counting the numbers in the opponent's group, the situation is one against fifty-two, Sakuragi's status is too unstable to think and fight properly, The battle is hopeless.
brbr
Sakuragi's next action proved Rukawa wrong. He pulled the long-forgotten firework out of his shirt, he lit it quickly and the next second the firework burst out in the air and formed the special symbol of the FoxHunters.
brbr
'Youhei's blood, I'll ask your Chief to pay.' Sakuragi grimaced.
brbr
----------------------------------------------------
brbr
'Anzai Sensei, it's. the firework!' Akagi whispered, he wanted his head blank, so he wouldn't be able to think the consequence. But it is obvious; the firework is in the NorthEast position of the district, the only group of people who went to that direction are Youhei, Rukawa and Hanamichi. And Akagi knew with Youhei there, none of the other two will get hurt.
brbr
Upon seeing the firework, Anzai hugged his head within his arms, his whole body trembling. He had promised, he won't let anyone die, and now Youhei.
brbr
'Sen, Sensei!' Akagi queried, voice tight, something is wrong with his Sensei, he can feel it.
brbr
After a few minutes of trembling, Anzai finally arose from his state, by changing into a different person. Akagi's eyes widened at his most admired sensei, due to the news of death reported, Anzai had momentarily transported his mind 30 years back. With the change, his pride, ferocity, valiancy and wisdom flood back to him.
brbr
'Akagi, get everyone into the headquarters.' Anzai ordered quietly, but pressure sizzled from his words, Akagi quickly gathered everyone. 'Yasuda, go and find Ryota, you and his group will go and help Mitsui and Kogure. The rest, go to the forest following the firework's track, and help Rukawa and Sakuragi. Quick!'
brbr
----------------------------------------------------
brbr
'Aya-chan, it's the firework!' Ryota doesn't understand, how could something so beautiful deliver such a horrendous message?
brbr
Ayako didn't reply, her eyes are fogged by a layer of liquid, but she's going to hide her tears, at least until the whole thing is over.
brbr
----------------------------------------------------
brbr
Kogure stared at the firework, slowly disappearing in the sky. For the past 30 minutes he'd been repeating the same sentence. 'Please don't let me see the firework!' With the firework, Mitsui will have to assassinate one of the Combined Camp leaders, Kogure will never think so selfishly if the matter effects himself only, but Mitsui Hisashi is with him, he must not get agitated.
brbr
His eyes trailed to Mitsui, wondering if he'd seen the firework or not.
brbr
Mitsui's already reaching for an arrow, his eyes grim and cold. 'If I am to shoot Maki, the protection around him is too perfect, and Maki will probably dodge the arrow, or maybe the arrow will bounce off his burly muscles.' Mitsui thought to himself. 'But if I shoot Fujima Kenji. the protection around him is a lot less, surely it shows more chance of success. And if the rumor about Maki and Fujima is true, it should distract Maki enough to let us escape.'
brbr
With that thought set, Mitsui got into a perfect shooting position, his left arm firm and straight, his right arm held in a perfect angle. Leaves projected their shadows onto his handsome face; Kogure thought he was in a dream, staring at the god of war and succeed.
brbr
With a thud, the arrow shot out in a perfect arc, aiming at Fujima's left chest, where the key to end his life dwelled.
brbr
Blood, burst out from a feeble body in a stream. But that body is not Fujima's, it's Hanagata's.
brbr
Fujima saw the arrow coming, but there were chairs and tables around him so there weren't enough time and room for him to jump away. Then his eyes landed on Hanagata, his hands quickly dragged Hanagata in front of him and blocked the arrow, he used his best friend as a shield.
brbr
'THAT BUSTARD!' Mitsui hissed.
brbr
But what happened next turned out to be different. A person smiled, and a person cried. Normally the murderer would smile and the victim should cry, but it's the opposite this time.
brbr
'I'm sorry Toru, I'm so sorry.' Fujima cried, hands grabbing Hanagata's arms. 'I love you, so much you won't even understand, but I love Shinichi more.' He sniffed, and wiped his tears off his gorgeous face. 'I want to live with Shinichi for my entire life, I can't bear to see him with anyone else, and I would sacrifice everything in order to be with him. You won't hate me for it, won't you?' Kenji asked, sophisticated blue eyes frightened.
brbr
Hanagata shook his head slowly. 'I would never hate you, and die for you is what I always wanted, If I can't have you.' He landed a kiss onto Kenji's pale forehead, and died on the body he craved for so long.
brbr
--------------------------------------------------------------
brbr
'Go, Rukawa.' For the first time, Sakuragi called the fox prince by his name.
brbr
'No.' Simple and straight, an answer just like Rukawa.
brbr
'GO! I can't let you die here! Youhei is dead already, I can't let another person I love to die!' The redhead's eyes suddenly turned golden. 'And I need to slash the Combined Camp with my own hands, to revenge on the death of my best friend.'
brbr
'No.' The same answer, came out of Rukawa's throat like cool water.
brbr
'Why?' Sakuragi's expression is devastated, why wouldn't that stupid fox go?
brbr
'To leave only you and Youhei in heaven, I'll be jealous.' Rukawa replied with a straight face.
brbr
The red monkey ran up to the pale fox and hugged him. 'You can't die, you got that? Whatever you do, don't die!' Sakuragi pleaded.
brbr
'I won't.' Rukawa's answer is always short, but it could sooth even the most disturbed heart.
brbr
'Very touching.' Jin stood 50 meters away from the couple, but his musical voice could still be heard. 'Unfortunately we're not here to see a melodrama, we're here to kil.' His sentence is cut by an arrow, an arrow in his throat.
brbr
'Jin sempai!' Kiyota cried out, too late, an arrow in the throat dies faster than an arrow in the heart. 'Who? Who killed Jin sempai? I'll pulverize him!' Kiyota shouted, the feeling of losing Jin sempai is more painful than he thought, the pain is choking him, he wants to run away.
brbr
'Sorry to make you feel painful, but you killed my friend's friend and now trying to kill my friend, you'll have to be punished.' A mellow voice sounded behind the trees, the voice is so deep and understanding and it sounded like it's dripping honey.
brbr
Sakuragi knew that voice, he spent plenty of time with the owner of the voice to know whom it belonged to. He never liked that voice before, it sounded too mesmerizing, but now it sounded so wonderful, their savior is here.
brbr
'SENDOH!' Sakuragi laughed, for no reason, he trusted Sendoh to save them. The owner of the voice appeared, the spiky-headed LionHunter with the heart-warming smile.
brbr
'Sendoh Akira,' Kiyota sneered, 'Three against fifty-one doesn't make the situation better!'
brbr
'How about forty-three against fifty-one? Does that sound a lot better?' Sendoh smiled, his eyes shone with pride.
brbr
With a whistle from Sendoh, forty more LionHunters ran out behind the trees, they quickly made a defensive position by forming two lines, first line kneeled down holding shields, second line standing up holding bows.
brbr
'Shoot!' Uozumi, the Chief's assistant of the LionHunters roared, all the shield-holders remained still, while the bow-bearers released their arrows universally in synchronization.
brbr
'Refill!' Uozumi ordered again. This time the shield-holders stood up to cover the bow-bearers from the rain of arrows, while they refill their bows. The LionHunters worked perfectly together while Uozumi yelled out orders, a few turns later they've already cut down the Combined Camp's number by half.
brbr
'Do you surrender?' Koshino's voice shout out, asking Kiyota.
brbr
Kiyota smiled, cupping Jin's face in his hands. Then he laughed, the laughter sounded so cold, no happiness could be detected. The pain of losing Jin struck back, it's so painful that Kiyota can't survive with the would that could never mend, life is meaningless without Jin, all he wants to do is to be with Jin. He carefully put Jin into a sitting position, and sat behind him, enveloping the pale body in his own. Then Kiyota's hands traveled to the arrow that pierced through Jin's throat, and pushed it into his own throat.
brbr
'Jin.' With that last work he threw up his arms in the air, like embracing something, with the most peaceful and sincere smile on his face, he left the world he hated so much.
brbr
The Combined Camp's remainders ran as fast as possible, Koshino was just about to go and recapture them, but Sendoh stopped him with a shook of head. 'They've lost their self-esteem, they're nothing more dangerous than little puppies now.'
brbr
'How did you know about the challenge?' Sakuragi asked Sendoh, he knew he should at least say thank you, but so many things had happened, its just not the right time to be thankful.
brbr
'Hikoichi spied on the TigerHunters and the WolfHunters while they were discussing their plans, and we thought it's going to be nice to lend you guys a hand.' Sendoh smiled charmingly, then his smile fade. 'Sorry, we couldn't save Youhei.'
brbr
Sakuragi shook his head, 'It's not your fault, you saved Kaede.'
brbr
Sendoh turned around to observe the Fox Prince. 'Mmm. no wonder my little Hana-kun would fall for you, you ARE very pretty.' Two fists thrusted into Sendoh's cheeks right after he'd finished his sentence, one from Koshino, one from Rukawa.
brbr
'Sendoh sempai!' Hikoichi, the best spy in the whole Tribe stepped up in front of Sendoh. 'I've got the latest information, would you like to hear it?'
brbr
'Sure, please tell us.' Sendoh smiled, taking the tensioned air away.
brbr
Hikoichi blushed, no one could handle Sendoh's smile, except Rukawa. 'Someone had assassinated the TigerHunter's Chief's assistant Hanagata Toru, Fujima was too sad to keep on battling so Maki had retrieved his challenge.'
brbr
Sakuragi sighed with relief, no more fights, ever.
brbr
'Mitsui and Kogure rejoined Ryota and his group near the Combined Camp's district, both groups are unharmed and now are safe in the FoxHunter's headquarters.'
brbr
Sakuragi smiled, he hugged Rukawa tightly. 'We can finally go onto a peaceful life, heh?' He asked ruefully, the other boy said nothing, yes, everything is alright again. Sakuragi swung Youhei's body across his shoulder while he whispered in his best friend's ear, although he wasn't sure if he could hear it or not. 'Thank you.'
