A/N: Guess who's back..?
Chapter 7:
He was about to give up when a hand grabbed his mouth and pulled him behind a large tree.
Hanamichi struggled for a while before realizing who was holding him captive in the first place. "Stay still, do'aho." He whispered in his ear. The red head shivered at the sound of Rukawa's voice. A second later, something large and slimy appeared and the kitsune wasted no time. He pulled out his sword and slashed the evil creature immediately.
"He's onto us." Rukawa muttered as he re-sheated his sword. Hanamichi frowned. Fukuda was onto them? How? "Let's go. We have no time to lose." The village idiot frowned and shouted. "Hey!! You're not the one giving orders around here!! Kitsune!!"
Miyagi and Kogure were still awake by the time they got back. It seemed like they had encountered a visit from one of Fukuda's spies as well. "It's still too dark but I guess we have to get a move on." Miyagi remarked as he rushed to pack his things. Kogure adjusted his spectacles and prepared his bow and arrow. You never know when you might need your weapons. Next, he pulled out the map and analyzed it by the camp fire. There was only one more barrier to go through until they reach the Fukuda's lair and rescue the princess.
"Bat caves come next. We'll have to be more careful there. Vampires lurk the place." Kogure explained. Hanamichi pointed at Rukawa. "Maybe if we sacrifice him, we'll get away safely." He remarked. Miyagi threw a small bag for the red head to carry and added, "Baka. I don't think the vampires would be satisfied with just one of us. I doubt they'll negotiate when they can easily outstrengthen us." Kogure nodded his head. "Miyagi's right you know. Unfortunately, there's no other way to get to Fukuda's lair. We'll have to deal with vampires."
And so the foursome went on with their journey..

Kiyota Nobunaga looked around. He was on a scouting mission since some of his men reported rustling sounds that night. The soldier knew that the sounds were probabaly only him and Ayako spyng on Maki-sempai. "I still have to search anyway." He thought to himself as he led his men around the forest.
Just then, a huge ugly slimeball appeared and started attacking them. Not only that, a few other slimeballs appeared to join in on the fun. "Yikes!!!!" Kiyota shouted as he narrowly missed an attack. "Damn slimes!!" He shouted, swinging his sword. However, before he could hit any, one of them had grabbed him and rendered him unconscious. Ayako saw everything that had transpired and hurried to report the incident to Maki.
He blinked his eyes open. Brown pools were staring back at him. "Princess!??" Kiyota remarked as he got up the bed. Haruko nodded her head and asked him to calm down. "Please be quiet, soldier. I don't think Fukuda would want his sleep to be disturbed.
And so they spoke in hushed voices. Kiyota introduced himself and explained the situation of the world outside Fukuda's fortress. Haruko listened thoughtfully and told the young lad about Fukuda's plan to make a powerful army out of their men.
"In that case, we'd better get out of here and warn them. No way am I gonna let that ugly monster tarnish our troops!" Kiyota remarked, angrily. But how could they escape? I mean, Fukuda's not stupid. There were certainly wards to prevent any of them from escaping.
"I've got it!!" Haruko exclaimed, her eyes brightening at her idea.

"How much longer is this gonna take?" Hanamichi groaned as they continued marching on. It had to be several hours past the time they left their previous vicinity. Kogure sighed as he adjusted his glasses. By the time they would reach the bat caves, all of their energy would be certainly drained. Miyagi seemed to realize this too as he tried to keep himself awake. He was feeling very tired and his body was sure to collapse any minute now. Rukawa kept his thoughts to himself, walking behind the red head.
Hanamichi frowned when he felt something slump on his shoulder. "Hey! Watch it Kit-!!!" He never got to finish his sentence as his eyes closed and he joined his fallen comrades. A bat appeared and flew away to the direction of the caves, no doubt to tell his masters about their new victims.
Kogure blinked his eyes open. He found himself looking at a large group of people. It seemed like they were all trapped inside a dungeon of some sort. He almost chuckled at the sight. It looked like one big reunion. Hanamichi, Rukawa and Sendoh were arguing. Youhei and the others were playing a game of poker. Miyagi was still complaining about the absence of Ayako. Hikoichi was listening to his rants, carefully listing down the creative words the muffin head used to describe the curly-haired woman.
Their attention was caught when the chains on the bars rattled and the door opened. However, none of them were able to escape as the bat creatures were too swift and a body was hurled at them. It was the body of a young lad, and not in a very good condition too.
Sendoh gasped as he recognized the young man. It was Koshino Hiroaki from the village! What was he doing here? There were gashes on his body and a few bruises on his arms. Thankfully, there weren't any serious wounds but he was still unconscious. Everyone gathered around in a circle, the reality of their situation dawning on them. Here they were, almost complete, although suffering the same fate. Either they become victims or become vampires.
There was a slight movement. Sendoh looked down at the young man sleeping, head rested on his lap. A few seconds later, Koshino's eyes opened and he gasped in shock at seeing the spiky-haired lad.
Am I in heaven?
He tried to get up but pain shot through his body. Apparently not.
"Shh... It's gonna be alright." Sendoh whispered, stroking the lad's forehead with his hand. The others were certainly surprised to see him displaying such sincere care for the stranger. Koshino, calmed with Sendoh's words, slowly drifted off to sleep. Once in deep slumber, Sendoh told the others how he met the fiery tempered lad. Of course, he left a few details out. They didn't need to know that.
The time seemed like eternity but Kogure knew it had only been a few hours since all of them were caught by the vampires. "They're breaking us down.." The spectacled lad thought to himself. He leaned back on the stone wall and closed his eyes. Would his life end here? How disappointing.. There was so much he could still do. Besides, if he died here, he won't be able to see the mysterious man that saved him anymore.
As if his thoughts were read, the dungeon opened and the vampires appeared. Obviously, they would be dealt with. This was the finale..
One of the vampires lifted its bony finger and pointed at Rukawa. It seemed like Rukawa would be the first to be sacrificed. The raven-haired lad decided that it was best to follow the creature's will. Perhaps the others would be able to escape.. As he took one step forward, one hand pulled him back.
Rukawa turned around and saw that it was Hanamichi. The red head wasn't going to let him sacrifice his own life for all of them. That much he read from the seriousness of the do'aho's eyes. Although, his face remained passive, his heart leapt with joy. At least he knew that Sakuragi cared for him.
However, the vampires didn't seem to be very happy at this small exchange. They made it clear that all of them would be dealt with very harshly. Just as the night beings were about to attack, a loud explosion erupted from somewhere. The vampires looked scared and they hurried to attend to the matter, forgetting all about their captives.
"Well, let's make a break for it!!" Youhei proclaimed, leading the way. The others followed. Kogure and Miyagi ahead. Rukawa and Hanamichi, amusingly holding hands. Sendoh carrying the half-awake Koshino in his arms.
They were running through a tunnel but a faint light was up ahead. That had to be the way out. Youhei shouted in triumph as they reached it. It was only a matter of time before they reach the palace. They only had to cross the woods and their journey would be over.
But the question lingered in Kogure's mind.
Who caused the explosion?
"Man, I thought they would put up a better fight." A familiar voice declared.
Hehehehe, wait for the next chapter you guys. I wonder who this guy is..? Anyway, this fic would be over very soon. Thanks for reading and supporting! I love you guys.. :) hey, you have gotta review still okay?
