Chapter Eleven
Fang growled at the way things were going. He went to chase the kitsune.
With her might though, Laylen was able to trip the bat youki. She stumbled with getting up. "Run as far as you can."
Makoto look back as he was at the door. His copper eyes glistening with unshed tears.
"Come back here you little brat." Fang yelled taking to the air.
Makoto hesitated at the doors, with a last glance he ran.
"Don't let him catch you." She whispered, holding to her staff to keep her on her feet.
Yoko heard the yelling and was now sprinting down the halls glancing in each room. "Laylen!"
Laylen's ears moved, hearing her name being called by the one person she thought she'd never see again. She looked up and behind her as Yoko ran in the enterance. "Kurama? But what are you doing here?"
He didn't speak just took her in his arms when he got to her. "I'm sorry." It was both Yoko and Kurama saying that. "So sorry." He nuzzled her hair.
She wrapped her arms around him, too stunned and weak to make sense of his presence. She turned back to her human form, feeling even weaker.
Yoko let her go. "What's wrong?"
Hana gained her composure. "It's a long story." She began to walk to the other door.
"Where are you going?"
/Yoko let me take care of this./
"Hana wait." Kurama called. "Where...what's going on?" He asked in the hallway.
"I turned back time to stop something that we couldn't get out of. Now I'm looking for my little brother."
He fell back behind her. "Is that why your ki is so low?"
She turned to him. "I'm glad that your here. It's wonderful. But if Fang does get a hold of Makoto, I don't think I'll be able to stop him this time."
Abruptly a burst of power tore down part of the wall, ten meters from Hana and Kurama. They ran to it.
Fang was standing over Makoto, sword threatening. "That was a nice blast. Too bad you missed."
"Leave him alone." Hana charged at him without thinking about a plan. Kurama tried to stop her.
Fang stopped her attack with his own. Her staff against his sword.
Kurama helped Makoto up. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah thanks." He observed the fight. "Come on."
"It ends after today." Hana said.
"I agree. Once I sell you all, I'll be rid of my pains." He smirked.
Kurama cracked his Rose Whip. "It's ending for you."
Both Makoto's hands glowed a light peach from his powering up.
"Three on one hardly seems fair." Fang shrugged. "I would think that you'd need at least four more people." He charged them.
Makoto started. "Tornado surge."
Hana twirled her staff in her hands, causing an even more power surge to Makoto's.
Kurama added sharp edged rose pedels.
Fang fought with all he had. There was nothing when everything cleared.
"Yeah." Makoto said. He smiled up to Kurama. For the first time in over two years, he felt and knew he was truly free. "That was awesome. He was acting so tough but we showed him, didn't we."
"Yes we did." Kurama replied.
"Wasn't that cool sister?" He turned to her. "Sister?"
Shorter then the last, but I wanted to end it here so there wouldn't be a short final chapter. Thanks for reading, reviewing, and hitting. All credits and such will be in the next and final chapter.
