Chapter 6 - Death

"Grey Wolf!!! Grey Wolf, where are you?!!!" Vejiita kept yelling. He had returned to the site where he and Grey Wolf had been ambushed.

"There's no sign of her..." Seto whispered. "Damnit! Why were you so careless!"

"I wasn't careless! We were too weak to handle the crowd! She made a desicion, I followed it!"

"You saved your own ass and you know it!"

"Fuck you, bastard! I would never leave Grey Wolf alone if I didn't think she would be safe!"

"Then why the hell did you leave her NOW??"

"Because that's what you do when you love! You believe! You put all you faith into the one you care about most! I totally believe in Grey Wolf! I would sooner kill myself than believe that Grey Wolf would get herself killed in an instance like this!"

BEEP BEEP. Vejiita's watch set off. A video screen lifted from it.

"Vejiita, all of Kyoto has been called to the old colosseum in the center of town. Report there immediately." Saito spoke to him. He also had been searching for Grey Wolf, but more over around the old hideouts from their careers as assasins.

Vejiita soon arrived at the colosseum with Seto via instant transmission. He and Seto quickly ran to where Saito stood in shock in front of a large cage. Saito's face and entire body seemed to have turned white, his eyes wide with shock which Vejiita had never seen in Saito before. It was the look that those he had killed in the past gave just before they met a firey end at the destruction of their planet. Saito's katana had fallen from his left hand where he usually held it, to the floor, his hands shaking. In front of him, inside the cage, tied to a cross, was the near dead body of Grey Wolf. Vejiita slammed against the fence, trying to break it down with no avail, screaming in anger, screams which filled Grey Wolf's ears.

"V...Ve...jii...ta..."

"GREY WOLF! LET HER OUT, BASTARDS! GREY WOLF!" Vejiita screamed at the only two men in the enclosure. They were guards. Then, another man walked in. Vejiita instantly recognised him as Giovanni. "BASTARD!!! LET HER GO!!!" Vejiita kept screaming, slamming against the cage, pulling it, kicking it, hoping to somehow break it, to no avail.

"Hmm..." Giovanni laughed. He waved his hand, and the cage was electrified. Vejiita fell over, convulsing. However, it did not stop him from hearing Giovanni's words. "This girl has commited vile acts against me and the government. She has murdered many members, and attempted to even kill me, but failed. These acts cannot go unpunished. She will be executed. The sentence will be carried out here, to be an example to you all."

"Let her go! She did nothing!"

"You're the one to be executed!"

"She's just a girl! Leave her be!" The crowd continued to yell, to no avail. Vejiita finally stopped writhing and crawled to the now de-electrified cage. He put his right hand on the cage, pulling with what strength he had left after being electrocuted. He pulled with everything he had, and more, but could not break the cage.

"Grey Wolf!!!" He yelled as the samurai hired unsheathed his sword, getting into a position to kill.

"Ve... jii... ta..." The samurai swung the sword at Grey Wolf quickly.

"GREY WOLF!!!"

She coughed out blood, and in a moment which was an eternity, her head slumped.

"GREY WOLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vejiita screamed. He screamed with every fiber of his being, falling to his knees from not remembering to keep himself up. He screamed for god knows how long, until, the moment came where the dam broke and he, finally, after all the training, the blood, sweat and tears, everything he'd gone through to reach this point, the image that was right in front of his eyes combined with the knowledge that Grey Wolf was dead finally caused him to become a super saiyan.

Chapter 7 - Memories


"Where am I?" Grey Wolf asked.

"Good to see you're awake. You are not in Frieza's hands anymore, so don't worry. You are the one known as Grey Wolf Himura, the Princess of Saiyans?"

"Yes. Who are you two?"

"My name is Prince Vegeta, and this is my protector, Nappa."

"Oh, I don't think you'll be needing him anymore." With that, she blew Nappa up, and continued.


"GHOST!!!" Grey Wolf screamed as she awoke from the nightmare which she had frequently. Vejiita was standing above her.

"Grey Wolf, what's wrong!?" Vejiita asked."

"N-Noth-"

"Grey Wolf... don't lie to me, please..."

"I... My brother, he was... killed... because of Frieza... It's nothing, don't worry. I will be fine."

"Are you sure about that?"

"No, not really..."

"I'll stay here, then..." Vejiita sat down on the ground next to Grey Wolf's sleeping bag.

"B-but-"

"No buts about it."


"Vejiita... stop talking... and I may be able to save you..."

"But... at what cost? Grey Wolf... You must feed off... your emotions. It's the only way to become... to become... a Super Saiyan! Listen to me... remember when... Frieza destroyed our planet... and all of the saiyan people... he's very afraid of us... and of what we may become... He knows... you're becoming a super saiyan... and... you must... de-... defeat him... or... or the proud saiyan race... will end here... Grey Wolf... please... please..." A tear softly flowed down Vejiita's cheek, and his body slowly fell limp.

Power erupted from her like a volcano, and everyone turned away to shield themselves from the intense windfall she created. When they turned around, even the humans could sense the great amount of power as a super saiyan was reawakened from her slumber. Finally, the Super Saiyan had truly returned.


"Your wish is granted..." Grey Wolf turned around at the sound of someone behind her, to see Vejiita getting up.

"No way... I'm alive?" Vejiita said. He slowly got up. "Grey Wolf, am I really alive?" She walked over to him.

"Oh, just shut up..." Grey Wolf whispered, and they kissed, their first true kiss.


Vejiita was on the floor, clutching the ground with his hands in pain. "Grey... Wolf..." He got up, staring straight at the ground. He walked through the crowd, which parted wherever he walked.
Grey Wolf lay there. A man walked in. She immediately recognized him. "Father!" She coughed out at Hitokiri Battosai. He sent a hand to her face, where Shishio Makoto had slashed her. One slash, similar to the long slash running across his left cheek, which intersected with another slash to make the cross-shaped scar, for which he was known.

"Mark of a demon..." He walked to the door.

"Father! What are you doing? I cannot stand, father! Help me, please!"

"Stay here. Stay here and die, Yokai." He walked out the door.

"Father... FATHER!!!" Grey Wolf screamed with all her three year old might, as the feared Hitokiri walked out the door, leaving her to die.

"What the hell..." Saito Hajime, Captain of the third Shinsengumi unit, stared upon the house of Hitokiri Battosai, burning down.

The heat filled Grey Wolf's lungs, as she felt her body somehow... becoming used to the extreme heat. The fire was almost upon her. Suddenly, the closed door broke open. A man she did not know walked in, wearing blue clothing of some sort. He picked her up quickly, checked for a pulse on the woman near her but did not find one, and left.

"Yo... kai?"

"It is a japanese word, meaning... demon."

"Is that what I am?"

"No. You are a child. A badly injured one at that..."

"You are the first person I've known... who did not think I was a demon..."

"... What's your name, kid?"

"Grey Wolf."

"Hmm... Himura Grey Wolf, correct?"

"Yes."

"Hmm... interesting indeed... my name is Saito Hajime." Grey Wolf's startled expression showed. The captain of the third Shinsengumi unit, and he had saved the daughter of, from what her father had said, his worst enemy?

"Surprized? ...Revenge does not drive me to go against the innocent, which you are. Only one thing stirs my emotions. Aku. Soku. Zan."

"Aku... Soku... Zan... Kill... Evil... Instantly..." Grey Wolf slowly fell asleep. Saito began to hurry, knowing Grey Wolf did not have much time.


Saito stood there, in shock from what had happened, shock which controlled Saito, making his legs immobile. Both knew why suicide was so common now.
