-1"Are you ready, Mane?" Gomon asked, holding up the vile that held Jenova's heart, which had been liquefied. Mane frowned slightly, but nodded his head.
"I'm ready." he murmured. Gomon smiled at Mane and handed the vile to him. Slowly he took it, and opened the small bottle. He felt nervousness raise in him, but to calm him, he thought of Wolf. Mane smiled, then pressed the vile against his lips and tilted his head back, letting the green liquid slide down his throat. He winced, the smell and taste of it was horrifying. Mane gagged, then finished the vile.
"Well?" Gomon asked. Mane coughed and dropped the vile.
"I think I'm ganna puke." he snorted. He felt no different, except for the fact that he was about to vomit. Gomon growled in frustration.
"It better work, or else…"
"Don't worry, it just might need some time." Lynx suggested. Mane retched and covered his mouth.
"You better be right." Gomon growled, glaring at Mane. "The ShinRa's will be coming soon, with the traitors as well."
"We'll take care of them, master." Lynx said, Tiger nodding. Gomon snorted.
"Like you did when you three were suppost to kill Rufus?"
Tiger and Lynx looked away, ashamed. Mane stood straight, wiping his mouth.
"They're here." he grumbled. As if on cue, Wolf and Reno crashed threw the back door of the KioRei mansion, which led into a jungle like forest. The rest of the Turks followed them, glaring coldly at Gomon. Gomon chuckled as Mane, Tiger, and Lynx braced themselves to protect him.
"Took you long enough." Mane hissed. Wolf snarled as Fox stepped forward, lifting up her hatchet like gun.
"End of the line, master." she said lowly, Leopard stood next to her, glaring at Gomon. Gomon smiled.
"Exactly."
In a flash, Gomon whipped out a long, shotgun like handgun and shot at the shy Leopard. One bullet hit her right in the chest, the other between her eyes. She let out a surprised screech and fell back, Her eyes wide. Wolf gasped.
"LEOPARD!" she cried. Fox and Cheetah gasped, taking a step back. Elena and Tseng took out their guns, ready to fire.
"You murderer!" Wolf cried, and lunged forward. Her weapons, which were two large metal gloves on each hand with what looked like two backward blades on each one, flickered and the blades on them shifted. They snapped up and fell forward, each one looking like a eagle's talons. At once, Mane leaped to face her, the two colliding in the air like two fraying hawks. Tiger and Lynx shot forward, snarling like crazy. Reno whipped out his electric baton and ran towards them, Rude, Elena, Tseng, Rufus, Cheetah, and Fox right behind him. Lion stayed behind with Leopard.
Reno swung his baton at Tiger's head, but the Weretiger dodged it swiftly. He clawed Reno's side, making the ShinRa Turk wince. Tiger then head butted him, smiling as blood trickled down the Turk's face. Reno stumbled back, but quickly leaped forward and kicked the Weretiger's side. Tiger stumbled, and was sent flying by another kick from Reno to the chest. With the tiger out of the way, Reno looked for Wolf, spotting her and Fangs combating Mane in the air. Mane swatted Wolf away, sending her to the ground. Keisha yelped but flipped and landed gracefully. Reno ran to help her.
"Keisha!" he called. Wolf looked at him.
"You go after Gomon, I'll take care of Mane." he said. She stared at him for a while, then nodded.
"Ok, be safe." she said, then leaned forward and kissed his cheek before taking off. Reno watched her, his heart softening. Keisha…
Wolf ran, her Dagger Blades flaring with her energy. Gomon stood there, shooting at the Turks. Keisha roared and lunged at him, tackling him to the ground. He let out a surprised yell and fell, dropping his gun. Wolf snarled and sank her Dagger Claws into his sides. Gomon let out a cry of pain, which traveled to Mane, who was glaring at Reno.
"You again…" Mane growled. Reno smirked and tapped his electric baton on his shoulder.
"Yep, miss me?" Reno toyed. Mane snarled at him, then paused, picking up his scent. He smelt Wolf's scent on him… and the sex scent. Unimaginable fury flared in his chest.
"YOU BASTARD!" he roared. Reno prepared himself, getting the idea Mane had found out about what he and Keisha did the night before. Mane lunged, red fur sprouting from his light brown skin. His eyes once again bled black and turned wolfish, fangs growing along with claws. A black tipped tail popped out from his tarring pants, his legs growing long and black. A wolfish snout grew onto his face, long fox-like ears stretching out on each side of his head. By the time Reno was tackled, A huge fox-like wolf-man towered over him. Shocked, Reno stared at him for a moment, the shoved the tip of his baton to Mane's throat and a shot of electricity made the werewolf yelp and leap off of him. Mane shook madly, as if he was having a seizure, then hissed it off, glaring at the ShinRa Turk. Reno chuckled.
"C'mon, you big weremutt." The red head urged. Mane roared with fury and ran at him again. Quickly, Reno knelt, dodging Mane's tackle, and stabbed his baton into the Maned Werewolf's belly, giving him another agonizing shock. Mane cried out and landed on the ground on his shoulder. Reno smiled, tapping his baton on his shoulder once again. "Funny, I thought you would be a lot stronger."
Mane glared coldly at him, hatred burning in his eyes. "You worthless waste of flesh. I'm ganna tear you limb from limb!" again he ran forth, parting his jaws. Reno snorted, feeling himself growing bored.
But Mane stopped, his eyes growing wide. He grabbed his own stomach, whining. Confused, Reno took a step back, unsure of what the werecreature was doing. Mane retched, parting his jaws as if somebody was forcing them open. A low whine escaped him as he knelt. His shoulders bulged, and two black feathered wings sprang from his back. He threw back his head in a roar of pain, his pupils dilating into catlike eyes. Reno gulped, taking another step back as Mane stood up again, his wings spread. Slowly, he looked at Reno, his catish pupils fixed on him.
"Ooooh geez." Reno muttered. At once Mane lunged, however Cheetah, in his Werecheetah form, latched onto Mane's shoulder and shook his head violently.
"Go help Wolfie!" Cheetah cried with a mouth full of Mane's flesh. Mane growled at him, snatching Cheetah's small head in his huge black paws. The small Werecheetah clamped his jaws down on his shoulders as hard as he could, but Mane tore him off and snapped his neck. Cheetah let out a small squeak before the bulky Maned Werewolf tore off his head and threw his body to the side.
Reno's jaw dropped, staring at the werecreature in horror. He…he just killed his own team mate! he thought. Mane smiled at him, then looked at his bloody paws.
"Finally, the power is mine." he said, smiling widely. Reno narrowed his eyes, then let out a furious cry, running at Mane. The Maned Werewolf glanced at him, and when Reno swung his baton at him, he nimbly blocked it with his arm and pushed him onto the ground. Reno let out an umph! as Mane put his foot on his chest.
"You don't stand a chance now, human." he growled, smiling. "I'm going to kill you for taking my Wolf away."
"She was never yours in the first place." Reno growled back. Mane narrowed his eyes. "She's not just an item to be claimed, and she's not something you can just through around when you feel like it."
"How touching…" the werewolf scoffed.
"At least.." Reno began, smirking. "…I gave her more pleasure than you ever possibly could."
Mane flared up at Reno's remark, pulling his paw back. Reno prepared himself for the blow, closing his eyes… Hell, Mane was ganna kill him…
But Mane's painful cry shocked him. Reno reopened his eyes to see the head of a calico wolf biting into Mane's neck. The winged werewolf leaped off of Reno, flipping the calico werewolf off his shoulder and onto the ground next to Reno. He blinked, realizing who it was.
"Keisha!" Reno gasped. Keisha smiled, she was a slender werewolf, looking just like her wolf form, only werewolf-ish now. She clearly had a feminine body, her chest fur just barely covering her human like white chest. She had the head of a wolf, with a slender muzzle and deep gold eyes. Mane roared at her, anger pulsing threw him. Wolf rolled out of his way and stood up, roaring in return. Everything seemed to go still around them, Rude and Fox, who were fighting a tall man-lynx side by side, stopped and looked at them. Tiger and Rufus, Tiger holding Rufus down while the ShinRa president had the gun to the Tiger's head, turned and watched. Fangs was spinning her weapon, the upside down cross with large knives sticking out of it, as if about to attack Tiger with it, but stopped to watch her best friend. Tseng was helping Elena, who must have been wounded by one of Mane's slugs, but they both froze and looked up. Lion, who was in his white Werelion form, slowly gazed up from Leopard's body. Gomon, who was now standing tall, watched with cold gray eyes. Reno stood, lifting his baton, ready to help Wolf.
Mane panted, eyeing her with hatred. Wolf returned his gaze, and lunged, roaring with such fury it made Reno jolt. Mane lunged as well, fanning out his black wings. Again the two werewolves met in the air. Wolf clawed up his sides with her Dagger Claws while trying to get a hold of his neck with her fangs. Mane kicked her away and flew into the air, swooping down to pin her. Reno leaped forth, shooting Mane with a huge wave of electricity. Mane held up his arm to defend himself, and merely swatted the attack away. "Weak!" he roared. Wolf kicked him in the stomach, which did nothing. She stared at the beast before her. There's only one thing left to do…
"Wolf, get away from him!" Reno yelled. Wolf struggled, but mane pressed his foot ever harder on her chest.
"FANGS!" she cried. Fangs flinched. "TRANSFORM, WE NEED TO MERGE!" she gasped. Fangs was silent, then nodded. Confused, Reno watched her as she tensed and arched her back, opening her mouth widely. Her ears pointed and grew, and kept growing. Her nose seemed to shrivel into a bat-like nose. Her eyes had went black, small red dots glowing within them. Her fangs grew, as did her jaws like that of a fruit bat, only shorter. Her legs trembled and shifted, turning into something like werewolf legs but with white/tan short fur. Her clothes flew back, transforming into huge bat wings. Fangs' body was slender and curvy, built for flying, with short fur covering her. Her head was like a vampire bat's, with a long, thick tongue that hung out of her mouth and long, bat-ish ears. Shocked, Tiger let go of Rufus and the president rolled away.
Fangs let out a high pitched screech, so high that nobody heard it, but their ears screamed in pain. Reno fell to his knees, holding his head and screaming. Mane covered his head, howling to try and drown the sound out. Wolf smiled, unaffected, and kicked the winged werewolf off of her. She flipped back, landing next to Fangs. The vampire stopped, her black eyes wide. Wolf smiled ah Their bodies began to glow, Wolf's body faded into a white light, while Fangs' into black. Both ShinRa and KioRei watched with confusion and awe as the two lights shot off into the air. They twirled around each other, till they towered over the clearing. Then the two black and white lights joined, forming what looked like a giant Ying-Yang symbol. Out of the symbol, a giant car sized wolf leaped. It had long ears, like Fangs did, with wide, black eyes and red glowing dots as pupils, razor sharp teeth with the long, sharp tongue, and bat-like nose. A pair of batwings spread out on each side of the beast, it's hind paws like the feet of a bat. On it's scruff, long spikes stuck out. The rest of it, however, looked like a giant calico (mainly white) wolf.
The hybrid landed, throwing back it's head and let our a long roar/screech. Mane took a step back, his wings shivering with fear. They hybrid hissed at him, narrowing its black eyes. Reno felt Fox next to him, so he looked at her, noticing Rude was at her side. Fox was smiling, eyeing they beastly hybrid.
"Well well well, they finally got it right!" she chuckled. Reno blinked at her.
"Got what?" he asked. Rude seemed to be thinking the same thing, by the way he was staring at her.
"They merged into one!" Fox said, smirking. "They turned into a Kyuketotoko!"
"A kyuketwhato?" Reno asked. Fox sighed.
"A Kyuketotoko! Half Vampire half Werewolf beast!" she growled. "Took them long enough. They've been trying for years upon years to get it right!"
The Kyuketotoko roared again, padding toward Mane. Mane backed away, his fur bristling. Tiger and Lynx gave each other frightened looks, then took off to the edge of the clearing, disappearing into the forest. Gomon yelled after them, his gun must have been out of bullets, or he would have shot them.
"Master!" Mane snarled as the Kyuketotoko neared him, then lunged. It pinned him down, sinking its sharp teeth into Mane's stomach. He cried out in pain as it lifted him up, shaking him around like a winged rag doll. Mane yelped madly, his wings snapping along with his ribs. He twisted, clawing at the Kyuketotoko's eyes. It growled with anger and threw him into the air. Mane tried to beat his broken wings, but clearly could not. He was sent to the hard ground in front of Gomon, who was glaring at it.
Reno smiled widely, feeling his heart leap. Yes, we're winning!
Gomon reloaded his gun and aimed it at the hybrid beast. Before any shots were made, it leaped into the air. It jumped over Mane's body and took down Gomon. The shot zipped past the Kyuketotoko, and to Lion. Time itself seemed to slow as the elderly Werelion flinched, the bullet hitting him right in the chest and exploding out of his back. He let out a surprised roar of pain, his glistening fangs truly visible as his lips reached back in the screeching cry. The white lion fell next to Leopard, his tail not moving, nor his body. Fox gasped, her eyes widening.
"LION!"
The Kyuketotoko did not seem to noticed, it just screeched into Gomon's face, its long snake like tongue inches from him. Gomon stared at it, and smirked.
"You two are stronger than I thought… However…"
The Kyuketotoko blinked as Gomon began chanting. Mane twitched, then slowly pushed himself up, his body glowing red. Reno watched in horror as Gomon, fading into a black light, zipped out from under the Kyuketotoko and into the air. Mane's light soon followed him, and similar to Wolf's and Fangs', a black and red Ying Yang symbol formed above them. The sky darkened into gray, clouds twirling and colliding. The wind blew harshly, making the trees lean. The symbol flashed, then leaped out a Kyuketotoko, only it was larger with one set of bat wings and a set of black angel wings. It's fur was black, with blood red paws and tail. It's eyes were red with black pupils, its fangs even longer than the other Kyuketotoko's.
Reno's heart fell. This thing was much bigger then Wolf and Fangs. Oh great….
The same reaction rippled within the ShinRa Turks, along with Fox. As the new darker Kyuketotoko landed, everyone felt heartless, their chests empty with hopelessness. Wolf's Kyuketotoko flinched, it's wide black eyes staring into the others.
Reno glanced at Fox. "Let me guess… another kyuketwhato…" Fox didn't even look at him.
"One's with dark hearts are called Okamisuki." she murmured, shaking her head. "Wolf and Fangs don't have a chance..."
"Don't say that!" Reno snapped, then ran forward. Rude gasped as Fox screamed at him.
"COME BACK DUMBASS, IT'LL TARE YOU APART!"
Reno ignored her. He had to help Keisha, even if it meant dying for her…
The Kyuketotoko noticed Reno at once and it blocked his way. Reno stopped, panting. "Let me help!" he gasped. The Kyuketotoko shook its head.
"No…Reno." it growled, not moving its mouth. Reno flinched at the sound of it's voice, it was like Keisha and Fangs were talking at once, but the voices just didn't match this horrible evil looking beast. He glanced at the Okamisuki, which was watching them curiously. Reno glared at it, then looked at the Kyuketotoko.
"I'm going to help you no matter what you say." he said. The Kyuketotoko blinked at him.
"Reno…"
"You're the one!" the Okamisuki roared. Both Reno and the Kyuketotoko looked at it. It's eyes were narrowed, its lips pulled back even farther to reveal more sharp teeth. "You're the one who she sees at night!" without warning, it lunged forward, screeching. Kyuketotoko blocked it by jumping up at it right as it was about to collide with them. The two beasts fell to the ground in a ball of spraying blood and fur. Reno jumped back in alarm, bumping into something behind him. He turned around, finding his partner.
"Be careful." Rude rumbled. The rest were behind him, shooting at the Okamisuki. Fox stood next to Rude, nodding her head.
"Your ganna need Gomon's gun." she told him. Reno looked around, spotting it. "I'm not sure if it'll work, but it's loaded with silver, so if we shoot the Okamisuki with it perhaps it might die."
"How do you know all of…" Reno began, but Fox and leaped forth, changing into a feminine looking werefox. She reminded him of Mane, speaking of the werewolf, he glanced at the Okamisuki, which was wrestling with the Kyuketotoko on the ground. The calico Kyuketotoko was pinned to the ground, it's bat hind legs clawing up the Okamisuki's stomach. Unfazed, the Okamisuki bit into the other's throat. Fox leaped onto it's back, avoiding the long spikes and sinking her teeth into its scruff. The Okamisuki snorted and shook her off, sending her into Rude. The two fell back, replaced by Elena and Tseng. Elena was limping, but continuously shot at the huge demon like beast. It hissed at them, unaffected by the bullets.
Reno fought back the urge to help them, but he had to get that gun! He run for it, locking his blue eyes on the gun that looked so much like Rufus's. He was nearly a few feet away when suddenly his feet flew out from under him. His electric baton was sent flying from his hands, landing next to Gomon's gun. Reno looked up, finding the Okamisuki towering over him.
"Nice try, human!" it said, Mane and Gomon's voices coming out from it. "Your not getting away… I'll kill you and your friends…one…" it set a huge paw on Reno's back, it's claws sinking into his flesh lightly."…by…." the claws sank deeper, making him wince. "…one…"
"LET HIM GO!"
The Kyuketotoko leaped out of nowhere , head-butting it in the side and sent it flying. Fox leaped after it, latching onto its leg. The hellish beast screeched out in pain and let go of Reno. Quickly, he scrambled forward and snatched up the gun. He spun around , desperately aiming at the Okamisuki. The hybrid roared and threw the Kyuketotoko off its back with one of it's wings and roared at Reno, ignoring the werefox.
Fear rose into Reno's throat at the site of the huge beast running at him. It's teeth were so long…they could sink right into his flesh.. And it's claws, the long hooked claws…could so easily cut him open for his guts to spill forth…. Reno pulled the trigger of Gomon's gun and..
Nothing…
The gun clicked, telling Reno that it was empty. Horrified, he stared at the Okamisuki, which was a few feet away from it. It seemed to be smiling. The Turk dropped the gun. This was it, the Okamisuki was going to kill him…
Rufus and Rude leaped in front of him, firing their guns. The Okamisuki hissed in pain and leaped into the sky, spreading its four wings. Reno let out a huge sigh. That was a close one…
Rufus and Rude helped Reno up. He patted his suit off from the dirt. "Thanks guys… that thing almost had me…"
"You better thank that white lion." Rufus said, holding up a slender black gun. Rude did the same, only his was golden. Reno blinked.
"But Gomon shot him…"
"Lion gave us these before we started this fight." Rude said, handing Reno a silver gun. "He said to use them as a last resort."
A screech pierced the air, making the three look up at the Okamisuki. Fox climbed onto it's back and clawed at it's wings, but with a shake she fell to the ground. The Kyuketotoko roared from the ground, standing in front of Tseng and Elena. Elena was nearly laying on the ground, clutching her side. Blood soaked the ground around her. Tseng was knealing beside her, watching the Kyuketotoko hiss at the Okamisuki. Fox shook her fur free from dirt, dazed.
"Start firing!" Rufus ordered, lifting up his black gun and shooting at the Okamisuki. Reno and Rude more than happily obeyed. The silver bullets dug into the Okamisuki's flesh, making it squeal as the wounds burned within him. Reno kept firing, trying to hit the beast's head. It screeched in pain, flying higher into the air to escape them. They Kyuketotoko launched itself after it, bellowing. Rufus held up his hand, signaling for his Turks to stop firing.
The two creatures met in the air, the Kyuketotoko forcing the Okamisuki to plummet to the ground. The ground shook as the two huge beasts landed.
"You think those silver bullets will stop me?" the Okamisuki hissed to the Kyuketotoko. "How pathetic. You can't stop us now, Wolf Fangs, but we'll do you a favor…"
"Oh?" the Kyuketotoko sneered. "How kind of you…" The Okamisuki snickered.
"We'll tare off your head, so it will be a quick death… maybe."
The Kyuketotoko charged forward, clawing at the other's eyes. Reno glared at his gun. This is so fucking useless! We're not helping her at all! He snarled at the gun, then through it to the ground. Rude and Rufus blinked at him. "I have to help them!" Reno snapped at them, then raised his baton and ran toward the Okamisuki. The ShinRa Turk could hear the disagreeing yells from the three behind him, but he ignored them. He narrowed his brows as he neared the roaring Okamisuki and aimed his electric baton, sending a huge wave of electricity at it. The Kyuketotoko leaped away from the other, however the Okamisuki dodged Reno's attack with grace. It flew high into the air, hissing at him. Son of a btch! Reno snarled in frustration. They Kyuketotoko ran to him and knelt.
"Get on!" it hissed. Reno scrambled onto the back on the beast, avoiding the spikes. Rufus and Rude ran to him.
"What do you think your doing!" Rufus snapped. Reno snatched a handful of the Kyuketotoko's fur and raised his baton.
"I'm ganna kill that thing!" he answered. Rufus shook his head.
"Without a gun loaded with silver!"
"Did you see what happened when we shot at it? Nothing! Those bullets don't work on it, it's too big!" the Kyuketotoko shifted under Reno, and the red headed Turk patted it's side. "Let's go!"
With a roar, the Kyuketotoko leaped into the air and beat its huge wings. It flew after the Okamisuki, which was just about to break into the clouds. Reno pulled down his goggles over his eyes and readied his baton.
"Prepare yourself, human." the Kyuketotoko's voice echoed in Reno's mind. He blinked. What the hell…
"The Okamisuki is tougher than we thought. Silver bullets wont kill it, so we need to cut off it's head or rip out it's heart."
"How are you doing that!" Reno yelled out, but his voice was thrown back at him. The Kyuketotoko snorted, flying faster to catch up to the Okamisuki.
"Think the answer, human!" it's voice sounded more like Fangs.
Okay! Reno thought.
"Can your baton blast the Okamisuki's head off?" it asked him within his mind. Reno snickered.
Maybe, depends if I hit him.
"Well, you better hope you can aim!" it hissed in his mind and roared. The Okamisuki turned and dove at them, opening it's jaws and readying it's claws. Reno tightened his grip on his baton and focused his energy. C'mon, this better hit…
He unleashed a wave of electricity at the nearing beast. The Okamisuki roared in shock as it hit it. It's body jolted in the air, it's wings shuddering as the electricity pulsed through them. The Kyuketotoko collided with it, biting at it's neck. The hellish beast hissed at them, glaring at Reno. It opened it's jaws and lunged it's head at him. Reno shot another electric wave at it, making it screech and let go of them. It dove toward the ground, it's shivering wings jolting as if they were having seizures.
The Kyuketotoko dove after it, roaring a warning to the Turks below. Tseng picked up Elena, apologizing about hurting her, then ran for cover in the jungle like thickets. Rude , Rufus, and Fox followed quickly just as the Okamisuki crashed into the ground. It squealed in pain, shaking its head madly. Blood poured down from it's eyes, splattering the ground as it shook it's mighty head. They Kyuketotoko landed and knelt with a shudder. It's tail was low, and it was panting. Reno slid off of it's spiky back and patted it.
"You guys ok?" he asked. The Kyuketotoko whined and lowered it's head.
"We're… almost out of…time…" with that, the Kyuketotoko started glowing again. It split in two, one burst of light white and the other black. They twirled in the air a few moments, then crashed back down, on each side of Reno. The lights flickered and took form, the black one Fangs and the other Keisha. They fell to their knees, panting harshly. Reno knelt beside Keisha.
"You ok?" he asked in a sort of panicked voice. Keisha nodded.
"I'll…be fine…"
"You need to…finish the Okamisuki…for us." Fangs growled. Reno nodded and kissed Keisha on the cheek.
"You stay here and rest, ok?" he murmured. Keisha looked at him weakly and nodded. Reno stood, clutching his baton, and ran forth. Rude stood up from the thickets and through his silver-loaded gun to his partner, who leapt into the air and caught it. He smiled and landed on the blinded Okamisuki's head, pressing the muzzle of the gun to its head.
"Goodbye, Gomon and Mane!"
He fired his gun, over and over again. Blood splattered from the Okamisuki's head, and a long, piercing scream came out of it. It began to glow, and two lights separated from the glowing Okamisuki. Reno fell to the ground and landed easily, watching the lights as they twirled into the sky and fell, as if dead, onto the ground. The red light formed into Mane, who laid on the ground with bullet holes within his bleeding skull. He did not move, even when the black light landed nearly next to him and formed Gomon. He too did not move.
Reno had done it. He had freed Keisha and the other KioRei Turks from the horrible Gomon, and saved his own Turks as well. He smiled broadly as his fellow Turks and boss walked out from the thickets, smiling at him. Fox ran over to Keisha and Fangs, who were knealing on the ground. Keisha hugged Fox tightly, muttering something to her. Reno was too far off to hear, but he knew what they were talking about. They were free, free at last. Fangs herself was tearing up as Keisha and Fox shed tears of joy.
Rufus patted Reno on the shoulder. "Good job, Reno." he murmured. "Good job…"
"What about them?" Reno asked, looking at Fangs, Keisha, and Fox. Rufus was silent for a while, then sighed.
"Guess they could come with us… not sure how we could pay them to work for us…"
"We'll work for you for free." Keisha called, getting up. Reno smiled.
"We're used to it, besides, we owe you our lives." Fox added as they walked over to them. Keisha and Fangs nodded in agreement. Rufus glanced at Tseng, who nodded to him.
"Alright, you may come with us." The president of ShinRa said, then turned away, Tseng (still holding Elena) and Rude following. Fox and Fangs looked at Keisha, then over to Lion's body. Keisha followed their gaze, and quickly looked away.
"We should go…" Fangs grumbled. "I don't want to stay in this dump for much longer…" with that, the vampire stalked after the ShinRa Turks. Fox followed her silently, smiling as tears still trickled from her amber eyes. Keisha watched them, then hugged Reno tightly. He smiled, and wrapped his arms around her.
"See? I told you I will free you…" he murmured into her ear. Keisha snuggled against his shoulder, inhaling his scent.
"Thank you…so much Reno…" she said tearfully. Reno held her tighter.
"It was my pleasure… Now, how bout we go.. To your new home?" he asked her, looking down at the she-werewolf. Keisha looked up at him, and nodded.
"Yeah…my new home."
