Tsune dashed through the forest not turning back once. Tears streamed down her face as she thought of Akira's horrid fate and his last will. She bumped into something and slid, landing hard on her back. Tsune looked up to see Sesshomaru staring down at her. "What happened?" he questioned softly and kindly. Tsune shook her head and burst into silent tears again.
"Damned brat ran," the black wolf mused, "Oh well, at least I have one." He prodded Akira's limp body. "I guess this will suffice, the prophecy is coming true. Soon power will be mine." He sunk his fangs into Akira and lifted him up. The wolf carried Akira towards Kusabana's palace while dining on Akira's fresh warm blood.
Kusabana paced around the front gates impatiently. Why wasn't that Hana here yet? She was worrying for Akira; this was a very abnormal characteristic for a demon. Then a shadow appeared in the distance. It was a coal black wolf and something was dangling in its jaws. It was Akira! The wolf was enormous and Kusabana doubted she could kill it without her katana. If she had that sword, she could easily kill anything. In normal circumstances, she would most likely run into her palace and get her katana, but this time Akira was there! Kusabana ran to meet the lone wolf.
The black wolf growled as Kusabana approached. He dropped the child. "I hoped you would come down. In fact I knew you would. The child is already dead. But you won't have to wait long. Soon you will join your beloved child in the realm of the dead." The wolf bared his giant fangs and started advancing on Kusabana. Kusabana stared at the wolf then tried to summon her demonic powers.
"You think I am that stupid? Of course I made it so you are not able to summon your demonic powers in my presence," the black wolf sneered. Kusabana glared at the wolf suspiciously. She hadn't thought of such things. Such things only someone who stayed close to her everyday would know…
"Who, who are you?" Kusabana demanded. The black wolf threw itself onto Kusabana. Kusabana was about to stab her claws through the wolf when she suddenly realized what the scar on the wolf's ear meant. She couldn't stab this wolf, she just couldn't. The wolf saw this new expression on Kusabana's face and sneered. He put his bloodied muzzle close to Kusabana's ear.
"The Prophecy is coming true. Soon I will rule the whole land with those Elemental Scriptures," the black wolf whispered softly almost menacingly. However, Kusabana seamed not to hear this. There were tears streaming down her face.
"Hana," she whispered, "Hana…Why…? Do you desire power that much? You murdered by son to get closer to me? I see now; you were the traitor. But Hana, I still love you, remember that. The prophecy, it says Hanshou will die because of me. You! You won't kill him, will you?" Kusabana's eyes were glazed with fear.
"But of course, of course I will kill him," Hana whispered in her icy tone, "But you at least will not be there to see. You won't see him die." With that, Hana drew back her lips and sank her fangs deep into the flesh of Kusabana's bare neck. "One more, then I will have what I have always dreamed of." Hana threw his broad head back and howled, for joy, for happiness, and for death.
