Chapter 9- Betrayed

Kira looked up at the sound of Nuto's voice echoing "Oh no! Please, let my father not have heard that!"

"Hello Kira." A voice said. "AH! Oh! It's you. Hey Lira, what's up?" Another female saber walked up to her "Oh, just wanted to see how the plan's working out." Kira sighed "Wonderful and horrible at the same time."

Lire tilted her head "How?" Kira sighed "Well, it's great, I've got him completely distracted and I'm having fun at the same time…but it's sad, because…he loves me, I'm going to break his heart and the worst part Lira…I love him back…"

"I knew it." An all to familiar voice said harshly. Kira gasped and looked behind heronly tomeet her father's claws. He glanced at Lira "Good job." Kira gasped "Lira? But…y-you're my best friend!"

Liralooked down"I'm sorry! He-he ordered me and-" He frowned "At least someone knows how to do as they're told! I will speak to him, he may not survive." Kira gasped "NO! No please father, I-I swear, I'll pick who ever you want for me, just please!"

"Stay out of it girl! You've done you're part and failed miserably, I should've known better then to leave this up to a female. Lets go!" The other males thatalways seem to beaccompaning the leader marched after him.

Kira fell to the ground "No…what have I done? They're…(sniff)…they're gonna kill him! And it's all me fault!" Lira moved forward "...Kira-" She practically stood up "LEAVE ME! YOU TRADER!"

Lira took a step back then with a soft sob, shewalked away. Kira picked herself off the ground "I…I have to stop him…"

After Nuto's little 'episode' everyone went to sleep and were dreaming peaceful dreams until suddenly, Nuto found he couldn't breath. He opened his eyes and saw Akite was standing on his nose with the most horrible frown he'd ever seen.

Nuto opened his mouth to breath "Ugh…um…whg arg youg standg ond by nosed?" Akite got of, but still frowned "My daughter is not yours to call your own." Greg woke next along with everyone else.

"I tell you now, you have over-stayed your welcome." He said coolly. Greg stood up and growled "What gives! Just what are you trying to pull? Send us on a stupid tour and no one is even around!"

"Hush your puppy or he might get hurt." Akite said to Nuto loudly. "You wanna start something?" Greg snarled. Akite smirked "Why not at all. I mean, all little puppies need training, I understand."

Greg charged, "That's it! You're goin' down!" But Nuto got in front of him "Stop." Greg skidded to a halt and looked back at him. Nuto frowned"…I'll take care of this…" Greg smirked "I gottcha. Hey king lame, better watch out, Nuto here's a champ. He could beat you any day of the year."

Nuto walked towards him, Akite ready for his attack. But he shocked everyone when he got as low as he could get (without lying down) and said sincerely "Sir, I'm sorry. Please accept my apology and leave us be."

Greg stood, open mouthed in complete and utter shock. Akite smirked "Now, that's more like it." He knocked Nuto down and stepped on his back "Ok, I'll give you one last chance. Stay away from my daughter, understand?"

Nuto stayed down, head still bowed, but said nothing. Akite growled and kicked him around some more "I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND!" Still, Nuto said and did, nothing.

Akite scoffed "I'll take that as a 'yes sir'." With that, he and his crew, left. As soon as they were gone Greg turned on Nuto. "…Grrrr, GET UP!" he yelled angrily.

Nuto did so, but he was smiling "There, now easy that was?" Greg frowned "How could you do that? You just bowed to the king of low-lives!" Nuto sighed "Yes, but sometimes it's better to play the defensive card rather then fighting."

Greg growled "UGH! Don't you see? Are you all so blind? This is a trap! And his daughter is just using you! (Gasp)!" he panted, it happened so fast he hardly saw it. Nuto rammed into his stomach and knocked the wind out of him.

Nuto reallylooked vicious. Hisfur stood on end and hispupils shrank"Grrr…Don't you EVER accuse Kira of that! She loves me! And I love her!"

Behind a bush, Kira gasped "Oh no…I can't now…I won't break his heart like that…I have to stop my father…" and she ran before she could see any more.

Greg struggled to get his breath as he stood "Nuto…don't do this, it's a trap…believe me! I'm your friend-" But Nuto cut across "Some friend you turned out to be! You weren't even happy for me! Wait…I see what this is…"

Greg looked at him questioningly "What?" Nuto frowned"…You're jealous! Jealous that I'm paying attention to someone else! 'Oh, woe is me, woe is me! I have so many problems and no one ever listens to me! I'm so misunderstood!' You make me sick!"

A hurt look crossed Greg's face but it didn't stay. He growled "THANKS! NOW I KNOW, THIS IS THE LAST TIME I EVER TRUST ANYONE! IF THEY ALL TURN OUT TO BE BLIND IDIOTS LIKE YOU!"

Nuto frowned deeper"YOU'RE JEALOUS! JUST ADMIT IT! You're jealous 'cuz you can't have the love I share with Kira! You can't have it 'cuz you cry and whine about everything and no female in the right mind would EVER like you! You're depressed all the time about nothing! You're such…a FREAK!"

Now that one hurt! Greg actually stumbled back and struggled with tears "…Fine…" Nuto looked confused. Greg trembled "…FINE!YOU GO OFF WITH YOUR LITTLE DEVIL MATE! BUT WHEN SHE BRAKES YOUR HEART I WILL LAUGH IN YOUR FACE!"

He had no time to think as Nuto jumped him and practically mauled him, all the time shouting, "TAKE IT BACK, TAKE IT BACK, TAKE IT BACK!" If he kept it up, it wouldn't be long before he killed Greg!

Joyce had to stop them, she grabbed Nuto's back legs, making him fall. When he turned with a snarl, he truly did look like the sabers are suppose to. Joyce gasped "N-Nuto…"

He stopped, looked at her, then at Greg. He coughed a little blood and barely had one eye open. Nuto gasped. He looked at his claws that were drenched in Greg's blood.

Joyce held her hand out "Nuto…" He gasped, looked at Greg once more, then ran. Joyce ran a little bit "Nuto wait!" She sighed, then looked back at Greg. She knelled by his side "It's ok, I'll get some leaves."

Greg struggled but stood up "…No…just…leave me alone…" Joyce chuckled "Don't be silly. Let me help you, I'm you friend-"

"I HAVE NO FRIENDS!" Greg shouted and dragged himself as fast as he could to get away from them. Joyce didn't even bother following, she knew if she stressed him too much, in his condition, he could die.

There was a soft whimper. She climbed the tree and saw Ouji hiding, shaking. She picked him up "Hey, it's ok…" He was still shivering "Not again…no more…" She sighed and held him close to her "It's ok…(sniffle)…everything's going to be…f-f-fine!" she said, but start crying.

----

Nuto jumped in the water, trying to get the blood of. It did, but the smell was still there. He groaned, "UGH! I'm such an idiot! Letting some words get to me…now, I may have lost all my friends…why am I such a screw up?"

"…You're not…" a voice said softly. He gasped and jumped out of the water, all worries seemed forgotten at the moment"Kira!" She smiled sadly, but he didn't care, he ran to her and nuzzled her. Kira looked around "You better leave, remember you said to my father-"

"I said no such thing." He said before she could finish. She frowned "You did. I saw it." He smirked "Really, ok, what did I say?" She paused "…Well…you didn't really say anything…but, my father took it-"

Nuto held her close "He could take it anyway he likes, the point is, I never said anything. Kira, I love you more then anything else in this world, I could never agree to what he asked of me. Kira, would you like to be my mate? I want to spend everyday of my life with you…" his whispered.

She was crying "N-Nuto…I-I…" Suddenly Akite came around with everyone. "Nice work Kira…I knew you'd lead us to him in the end…" he said with an evil smile. She gasped, but Nuto stood in front of her protectively. "What do you want!" Akite frowned "I see you're not a man (you know what I mean!) of your word…"

Nuto smirked "HA! Joke's on you! I didn't say anything!" Akite frowned "…However, that's not why I'm here. Where is he?" Nuto looked confused "Who?" Akite growled, "Don't toy with me! Where's the wolf?"

Nuto gasped, "He's not at the tree? Wait…why do you care!" Akite smirked "Simple, we need a bigger sacrifice then just these two little things..." Nuto gasped. In the middle of a circle of sabers, Joyce held Ouji in her hands and made no movement.

Ouji could have flown out, but with the sabers...he would've been eaten as soon as he escaped. Nuto was shocked "Sacrifice?" Akite smirked "What, you think we liked you? HA! No, remember when I said we have to give the spirits whatever they wanted? This, is what they want, oh! And uh, you know that 'mountain' is actually a lovely volcano, we were gonna let your friends visit it but if you're doggy friend isn't here, you could always take his place…"

Nuto looked at Kira "Kira?" She sighed "Nuto, it wasn't…I-I couldn't…I'm so sorry…" Nuto moved away from her "AUGH! I'm such an IDIOT! Greg was right about you! All of you! I just wish I would've listened to him!"

"…Don't worry, I won't hold it against you!" Everyone looked in shock as Greg seemed to jump out of nowhere, completely healed. Joyce gasped "Greg! But… how-" He cut across "I found something our little tour guide was kind enough to leave out. It was a spring of healing."

Nuto winced "Greg…I-" Greg smirked "Save it, we can talk later, lets just finish them off now." Nuto frowned "No." Greg frowned as well "What?" Nuto stepped forward "I'm doing this myself because this…is personal…"

He glanced at Kira with a look of pure disgust. She bowed her head in shame. He glared back at Akite. "I know I can do this…I just need to get mad…just get mad and I'll lose all rational thought…"

He closed his eyes and dug his claws into the ground. He thought about everything in life that had ever upset him, finally, he snapped. When he opened his eyes he looked like a true killer. All he saw was blood.

Joyce gulped "He's going savage…" Nuto's fur stood on end and all rational thinking had left him "…You…will die…" he said menacingly. With an angry roar he charged at them all. Killing everyone that got in his path. Most of the guards ran, but some weren't so lucky.

Everyone ran, but Akite stood his ground "Now, the fight is on…" As Nuto charged Akite charged and they clashed. Clawing and biting at each other. Akite was shocked at Nuto's strength.

He found he was moving backwards with each claw. Soon, he and Nuto were at the top of the volcano. Akite gasped as his back foot almost slipped. Nuto growled "You're spirits want a sacrifice? Grr…well THEY CAN TAKE YOU!"

With that said, he rammed Akite with his head and he fell. "Agh! Huh? NOOOOOO!" he screamed as he fell, but soon, he was no more.

He ran down the volcano whereJoyce and Ouji stood, completely frightened. He still looked angry as he shouted "Come on guys, we're leaving!" They didn't dare argue.

Kira walked up to him cautiously "Um…Nuto?" He turned and snarled "AND YOU! DON'T YOU EVER COME NEAR ME! YOU DEVIL! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME! I…I M-MEANT…every word of what I said…a-and y-you…" his body trembled as he struggled with tears.

She gasped "Nuto…" Heshook it off then glared at her"JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME!" and he ran after Greg and everyone else. Kira stood there and looked down, she could swear that she felt the ground shaking as they left…

THE END…for now…
