CHAPTER IV:

GLASS CHAMBER

The place was in panic. Every one in white clothing ran around. I, too, felt the same. I wanted to panic. I wanted to move. My body refused to go. It refused to leave the place. I could feel my feet move. It walked, taking me to an empty hallway. The people looked at me once but didn't mind my presence. 'Why?' My feet stopped. I looked around but the place was still chaotic. I couldn't stand the noise so I entered the room in front of me. The room was silent and still. The noise coming from outside was slowly fading. The room was not dark because the light shared its own space. A window was open so the fresh air could get in. 'Finally, escape!' I smiled at that thought. No cage could ever imprison me. Nothing will. I walked towards the not so long distance of my escape pad when I noticed something that brought me back to reality. It was the kitsune lying in a bed, sealed by a glass chamber. Ningen apparatus surrounded him.

The Ningen lay lifeless beneath the glass shield. I looked at the open window. 'I can't just leave the kitsune here. Where is his ningen mother?' I approached the open window and held the handle. I turned to gaze at the sleeping kitsune. His face was pale yet beautiful. I opened another window to let more fresh air come in. 'I can't just leave. Not yet.' His face was peaceful but he, him self was suffering. I couldn't stare back. My body indeed betrayed me.

I took the empty chair and sat there. I tried to reminisce about what happened. The tree, the dream & this place, everything happened so fast. I don't know why but somehow I felt happiness. My body was light and somehow free. I must've been tired, so I took some rest. But still, that doesn't remove the pain I feel. I touched the glass chamber when I felt a jolt of pain. The glass chamber was surrounded by electricity. It was well protected. "Hn, Humans..." Suddenly, the door knob moved. Someone was opening the door. I hurriedly moved towards the open window and climbed on the tree beside it. It was his ningen mother. She was holding a bouquet of roses in her arms. She set it on the empty table and then approached her son. She touched the glass chamber and then sat down on the empty chair.

"Hn." I jumped to another tree, when I remembered something. The glass chamber released electricity when I touched it, but when the ningen did, nothing happened. I looked back and jumped back to the tree I've been on. 'The kitsune's ki... I can feel it.' I jumped to the window, when I saw a disturbing sight. My eyes widened. The glass chamber was shattered. The kitsune was missing. The ningen lay on the floor, bloody and helpless and the kitsune's roses were scattered on the floor. 'A minute.. a minute and he had done enough.' I approached the ningen and healed her wounds. 'Who could have done this?.. Who?' after the healing, I approached the window and left.
