Chapter 16: The Wolf vs The Traitor
"Father...Grandfather Taiyo... please watch out for Sesshomaru and the others in the underground prison...also give us the strength to have the freedom we deserve...Goodnight" Akame whispers as he prays to the starry night sky
Akame looked into the mirror wearing a beautiful white kimono with a black obi tied tightly around it. His hair was styled into a half ponytail the way Haru love his red hair to be. Sakura was dressed in a light blue kimono was her hair tied into a glamorous hair bun with a few hair pins in it. The wolf yokai smile at his adopted daughter dancing and twirling around in her new dress. The young half demon hugged Akame tightly with her small arms around his neck.
Ever since the incident three days when Akira betray them Haru never lost sight of him or Sakura. The claw marks on his arms were still healing but slowly. He couldn't believe that Akira betrayed everybody trust. For what purpose did she betray for? Akame won't forgive her for this one not even after a thousand years past by.
Suddenly the door slid open seeing a familiar light green hair that made Akame silently growled at her. The wolf yokai held Sakura inside in his arms very protective from the witch who broke the trust of their greatest friendship.
"What do you want Akira?" Akame hiss
"Why Akame, is that any way to speak to an old friend" Akira remarks
"You're no friend of my, ...traitor"
"Is what am I to you now"
"What else would I see in you now?"
Akira growled lightly at them which made Sakura cling onto Akame tightly in fear. Biggest mistake to ever do in front of a wolf yokai parent. Akame sapphire blue eyes suddenly change into golden amber and his fangs grow past through his lower lip. A vicious growl escapes through Akame teeth which made Akira step back a bit.
Rushing out of the room but Akame levitation powers made him jumped high above the air before landed right in front of her. Watching the witch fell onto the ground trying to crawl away from him but suddenly felt his claw grabbing her hair harshly. Feeling her body being crush harshly onto the wall as Akame tightly grasp Akira neck. Choking on the thin air as Akame claws dig into the witch neck.
"Akame!" shouted a voice
Feeling a pair of arms pulling the wolf yokai away from the witch who was breathing the need of oxygen. Akira stares in fear of Akame new powers that send shivers down to her spine. Just what would it happen if he did succeed to murder her?
Haru held Akame inside his arms tightly preventing the wolf yokai from injuring the witch any more than usual. Breathing heavily in rage that shook not only Akira but also Lord Haru as well.
"Akame, why did you attack Akira for? She's our child nanny" said Haru
"She threatens our child, my love! Sakura was so scare that..that witch growled at her..." Akame exclaim
Akame shed tears of pain and worry for the protective of their child safety. Sakura hid behind the door in fear shaking harshly before rushing over hugging Akame leg. The Lord of South growl furiously at the witch and push his fiance and daughter aside before wielding a knife on the witch's neck.
"Is this true?" Haru asks in an icy voice
"...Well..I...I.." Akira stutters
Seeing the witch shrink right before her lord which made Haru smirk deviously behind his fiance that only Akira can see. Placing himself against Haru chest which made him vomit on the inside but sobbing on the outside. The Lord hugged his fiancee tightly inside his arms feeling very protective and glare at the witch before her. Akame chuckles lightly and looked at Akira with a dark smirk on his face before replacing it with fear.
"She also threatens that she'll murder us before the wedding." Akame lied
"WHAT?!" Haru and Akira shouted in unison
"Is true my love...she began choking me I have no choice but attack her to protect our daughter"
"NO! He lying my Lord! He lying!" Akira exclaim
Haru swing his knife letting a small dash of blood landed on his cheek as Akira right ear landed on the floor. The witch shriek in pain and horror luckily the pain was serious until the lord grabbed her by the neck with his claws singing them deeply. The young witch legs were dangling in the air above the ground as Akira struggle to breathe the thin oxygen around her. Haru glare at her deadly before Akira body become nothing more than an empty shell. Breathing one final breath before closing her eyes for the last time as the Lord of the South drop the corpse onto the floor before the guards dragged Akira dead body away.
That was revenge for betraying everyone trust, Akame thought harshly.
The Lord of South gently kisses Akame right on the lips before ushering him and Sakura into the room to rest now from the incident. The wolf yokai held Sakura inside his arms in a loving and protective way since witnessing Akira death. If he could keep the act just a little longer before the wedding then he'll have the chance to murder Haru.
Just only tomorrow noon is the wedding also the day Lord Haru of the Southern Land will die once and for all.
