"Weed!" A voice shouts revealing to be Flicka and Mel sliding down the snow on the hill.
"Mel! Flicka!" Weed says as the two come over.
"Weed, it's the enemy! Be careful!" Mel says.
"Yes we ran into some heading this way!" Flicka says before they see Kyoushiro, his group, and Roxanne come over.
"Kyoushiro.. Roxanne.." Weed says as GB, Ken, Kagetora, and Vixen run over to greet them as Roxanne looks at Amber only for her to look away angrily.
"Do you know them cousin Amber?" Flicka asks as she and Mel stay with Amber while Weed goes over to the others.
"Yes they are not an enemy but at the moment not part of the pack either. His name is Kyoushiro, the silver. They are friends. The female wolf with them is mine and Vixen's sister Roxanne." Amber says as Weed nods in agreement.
"Oh, I see! We thought they were enemies." Mel says.
"I assumed you two were spies as well." Kyoushiro says.
"Mel, why are you here?" Weed asks.
"Oh, yes! Weed! Gajou... Gajou has been taken over by them!" Mel says.
"What!?" Weed asks.
"No way!" Ken shouts.
"That can't be!" Vixen says.
"Flicka, where is Akame?" Kagetora asks.
"He's fine. He's with Ben, Kurotora, Smith, Alexis, and Kara at a safe place. We're here to relay a message from Akame that the battle will take place at Futago pass. On the way here, we saw Hougen's army. A badly hurt leader was with them and being publicly humiliated." Flicka says sadly.
"Our father." Weed says.
"We can't just sit here. Weed, let us hurry to Ohu!" Tesshin says as Weed looks at him.
"Yes. Everyone, let's go!" Weed says as he runs off with the others following him before he stops seeing Kyoushiro and Roxanne aren't following and goes over to them.
"Kyoushiro.. Roxanne.. Thanks for coming back. You'll be of great help." Weed says as he smiles.
"What the hell's wrong with you? We tried to betray you! Why are you thanking us!? Get mad at us! If you don't, I..." Kyoushiro says as Roxanne lowers her head.
"You fool! Don't you understand Weed's feelings!?" One of Kyoushiro's followers says as he argues with Kyoushiro.
"Kyoushiro! Let's go, Kyoushiro." Weed says as he headbutts Kyoushiro before the group getting running following after Weed.
"Sister I'm so sorry. Please can you stop being angry?" Roxanne asks as she runs beside Amber.
"Sorry Roxanne. But I can't forgive you just yet. You went against everything mom taught us by acting the way you did. I understand you care for Jerome no matter how much you try to hide it but you shouldn't of acted that way. I will forgive you eventually but not right now. I just don't agree with what you did." Amber says as she runs faster to be beside GB.
*Timeskip*
"Look. That's Futago pass. This is our paradise." Ken says as they arrive.
"That is, if Hougen didn't exist." Kyoushiro says.
"Weed, let's rest here a bit. Everyone's spirits are strong but their physical strength is close to their limit." Tesshin says as Weed looks back at him.
"Yeah. Everyone do that. I'm going to go ahead." Weed says.
"Hey hey, do you know what you're saying?" GB asks.
"Are you going to treat us like extra baggage!?" Kyoushiro asks.
"Yes Weed please think things through." Amber says.
"No. I just want to assure Akame as soon as possible. From here onward, it'll be enemy territory. Since we aren't going to fight right away, I only want a few escorts." Weed says.
"I see. Then I will go too. I am familiar with this space." Tesshin says.
"Then Kage and I will come too." Ken says as he and Kagetora step forward.
"No. Ken and Kagetora should stay here." Weed says.
"Then allow me to come. I don't accept myself anymore for my actions. I want to make up for that. I won't take no for an answer. Besides if mom and dad are with him I want to say hello for all my litter mates." Roxanne says as she comes forward.
"Alright then. Amber, Ken, Kagetora since you know this area, if something happens, I want you to lead everyone out of here." Weed says as everyone looks at him.
"If you say so.." Amber says.
"As runners and messengers, I need Rocket, GB, and Vixen to come with me. Also, Kyoushiro and Roxanne as bodyguards. Let's go!" Weed says as they leave off.
"Stay safe everyone.." Amber says as she watches Weed leave with his group.
