Chapter Nine
Yoko swiftly walked through the woods. The full moon as his light. He stopped at the clearing where the trade went on. Glaring around for clues to which way to go. His silver tail moving with annoyance. /There's not a trace of them. Nothing./
/They are bounty hunters. They're not suppose to leave a trail./
Yoko sighed, taking a north, north-west track.
Kurama wondered about his mood. Figured it was from earlier.
He ran for thirty miles before coming to a giant building. There were several guards watching, but they were easy enough to pass. When he got in the building, he searched for Hana's ki. Going down the hall in front of him.
Laylen's head swam when she became conscience again. Her body ached all over. It was all she had to stay awake for the time. She found that she was hanging about a foot from the floor, hands tied above her. Her eyes darted around. It was a pretty big room and other then a few crates and accesories, it was empty.
"So you have finally decided to wake." Fang came from the shadows. "I must tell you that I'm impressed that you've come from everything so...quickly."
"Where's my brother?" She struggled against her binds. Wanting nothing more then to terrorize that bat demon.
"Is that all you can think about? You poor little brother?" He paced slowly. "No offense, but I don't think he likes you anymore. Afterall you failed to protect him like you said you would."
Cerulean eyes narrowed. "You lying, deceiving demon. Where is he?" She demanded.
Sighing he motioned for two guards to pull in an angry looking Makoto.
"Let us go, creep!" The young kitsune yelled.
"I'm near touched about it, kid." Fang said sarcastically. He turned back to Laylen. "Listen here buttercup. I'll give you one last chance to repent for all the failures." He brought her down and untied her. "Fight your little brother. Then your free to go."
The siblings eyes met. Neither showing fear. Makoto nodded and a small smile came to Laylen's features.
"You'll leave us alone for good?" She walked over to her held brother after the youki nodded. She smiled down at him, he followed back. She faced Fang again. "That's a shame you know. We really liked playing." Her staff appeared before her. Twisting, she blew away both guards. "Run for the door Makoto!" Getting up, he did so.
Laylen walked over to Fang. He pulled out his sword, as did she. They fought for quick seconds. He glanced over at the door. Opening his wings, he took to the air blocking the enterance. Makoto yelped in surprise.
"You should have kept to my offer, princess." Fang said to her from across the room. "Instead, you both put lives on the line." He shook his head. "Looks as if I've come out to be the winner anyway."
"That's what you think." Yoko said from the other enterance. Gold eyes held death.
"Come to collect your money kitsune?"
Yoko looked at Laylen and Makoto. "No. I've come to protect them." He charged the bat demon.
Fang all but moved. Smirking at something only he knew. At the snap of his fingers a twenty foot cage encased all three foxes. Yoko stopped just before the barred wall went up.
I wanted to get something up, so you, the reader, didn't have to wait forever for me to get out of this sudden writer's block mentioned in the beginning. It's short, but I have a feeling that it's going to be okay in the end. There's something else. There's only about two chapters left. I have good news though...I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico. lol Just kidding. I have a sequel to this story and I hope you all give that a try too.
Thanks,
Romi.
