Chapter 7: The Choice
Kurama dropped the seed. What had he done? He searched the ground for a healing seed. He finally found an emerald seed that Kurama knew as a Wound Healing Seed. But, there was only one. Who was he to save, Kiera or Ryo? Kurama's stomach ached with nervousness. He didn't know what to do. If he saved Kiera he would let Ryo die. He had only known Ryo for a few hours, but Kurama knew he loved his son. If he let Kiera die, what would he lose-a nasty bitch that didn't love him? But, Kurama grew up with his mother, and he loved even if she didn't love him back. But, that one night many years ago, Kiera told Kurama for the first and only time that she loved him. Did she? She was crying when Ryo took Kurama away. Maybe, she did love him. Kurama was so confused. He could only save one. He clenched the seed in his fist and put some of his aura into it. He shed a tear as he dropped the seed…onto Kiera's limp body.
Vines sprouted from the seeds and wrapped around her body. A bright light sprang forth then receded. The vines disappeared and Kiera's newly healed body was lied in its place. Kurama ran toward her and started to cry. He looked at Ryo. He just let his own father die. How could he… "Ku..rama…" Kiera whispered. "What is it mother?" Kiera opened her eyes and stared right at Kurama. "That…is not…your…father…." Kurama jutted his attention to Ryo's body which was now walking towards them. His eyes were crimson red. He reached a claw out to Kurama. "DIE!"
