A/N: Hello…this one is where the cliffy left ya. I hope you're not too surprised at who it is.

Chapter 5: Betrayal

"No…" Yumi murmured as she gazed up through the jail bars. She shook her head stubbornly, "It can't be possible…it just can't be." Yugure narrowed his eyes at the figure, "Believe or not he was the one who captured me," muttered Yugure as his cold blue eyes watched the figure angrily. Yume bounded up to the cell bars and rubbed her head against his leg she looked up at him her eyes pouring out emotion and they seem to be saying 'please tell me this is not true'. The figure looked away and Yume cast her eyes to the ground, it was true. "I'm sorry, Yume," said Kura as he looked down at her through the jail bars. He looked away from her and murmured his apology once more, "I'm sorry, sis." Yume turned away from him and walked to the back of the jail cell lying down her back facing him. Kura looked downwards and sighed slowly walking away from her. "I'm really am," he said softly his eyes shining of unshed tears. Once Kura left Yugure turned towards Yume's small form and frowned. He walked over to her and nudged her gently, "You okay, Yume?" he asked softly. Yume looked up at him her amber eyes full of grief, "It is not true right, Yugure? He's not going to hurt me like that man did, right?" she said softly tears sliding down her face. Yugure laid down next to her and put his head on top of hers, "It's alright Yume…just calmed down and dry your tears," he murmured softly. Slowly he licked the tears off her face and she brightened up a bit.

"Thanks Yugure you're a great friend," she murmured softly. Yugure smiled brightly and nodded. "I know what I'll teach you The Moon Song," he muttered. Yume looked confused, "The Moon Song? What's The Moon Song?" she asked curiously. Yugure smiled, "Well it's what us wolf demons do at night. We howl to the moon. Everyone gathers up in the center of the village and everyone reverts to their wolf form and then as one we howl to the moon. It's supposed to be a happy song, but actually sounds sad perfect for an occasion like this," he said happily. Yume nodded, "Okay then I'm ready." Yugure tilted his muzzle skyward and slowly howled softly then getting louder and louder until the chambers rang with the song of a lonely voice. Yume tilted her head to the side and closed her eyes listening to the pain in Yugure's voice and the sadness in his notes. Slowly she lifted her muzzle upwards and joined Yugure. She howled out all her pain and all her betrayal and slowly yet surely she started to feel better. The song started to form words in her head and slowly she heard it all around her singing.

Child of the Wilderness

Yume poured her heart out slowly and tears start to trail down her face landing on the ground with a distant plop. She was absorbed in the music in the words.

Born into emptiness

Slowly Yume opened her eyes and looked up at the ceiling and gasped in wonder as it slowly started to take shape into what were her memories of the past.

Learn to be lonely

She was all alone in a dark dreary room. Nobody was there to comfort her no one at all. Everyone hated her there…

Learn to find your way in darkness

It was pitch black in Makai and she stumbled along after escaping from the dark dreary room. She kept tripping over tree roots and finally she fell flat on her face and there was no one to help her up.

Who will be there for you?

Then out of the darkness glowed two amber eyes much like her own and out stepped a black kitsune the moon reflecting the deep depths of his cold amber eyes.

Comfort and care for you

Slowly his eyes soften and he helped her up and murmured soft comforting words in her ears. Then she found out the greatest thing that he was her brother.

Learn to be lovely

He showed her how beautiful she was and how she was coveted by all demons for her strength and power and her ability to create portals. Slowly she started to learn to love herself again.

Learn to be your one companion

Sometimes her brother would leave her and she would feel scared and lonely. She had no one else to talk to so she talked aloud to herself and that comforted her when he was away.

Never dream

Out in the world

There are arms to hold you

One day he left her…for good and never came back. Then the hunter came and she ran hard and fast, but he still captured her in the end. When she awoke she was in a beautiful female ice demon's arms and her cool comforting presence soothed her.

You've always known

Your heart was on its own

She always thought that no one would there for her except for her brother, but now there was a whole barrage of people who cared for her and took care of her and her heart felt ready to burst from all the love and caring she was receiving from people she didn't even know.

So laugh in your loneliness

Child of the Wilderness

Slowly she started to smiled and her amber eyes glowed of happiness and one day she surprised herself by laughing just laughing at nothing in particular. It made her happy and her heart was lightened of the heavy burden that was place on it.

Learn to be lonely

Learn how to love

Life that is lived alone

She learned that being alone was also a good thing for she was able to get peace and quiet and think to herself without anyone disturbing her. Finally she trusted all these people until that man came and her brother betrayed her.

Learn to be lonely

Learn how to love

Life that is lived…

…Alone

But then she met Yugure and he showed her love and she felt a different kind of love for him. This love made her feel nervous and she valued his opinion more than any other. Maybe…just maybe she had fallen in love.

A/N: Wow…I never intended to do that with this chapter, but that's okay I liked the idea now. Of course I did not write this song it was taken from the ending song of Phantom of the Opera if any of you watches that. It sort of fits into Yume's lifestyle I suppose and what she's going through. I'm sorry for not replying to your reviews if you wanted one so I guess I will now.

The Sacred Bovine: I'm glad that you're reviewing and I'm really happy that you like the story so far. Nah, he doesn't have any darkness um legion thing.
