"Excuse me, what is the matter with you? You just broke into our home." Takemaru brought out a .45 and pointed it toward the wolf demon that laid her yellow eyes on the man.

"Well, excuse me, who is the one pointing a gun at me?"

"Get out now, you damn wolf demon!"

"I don't have to." The woman smirked as she made her way into the area. She looked around with much interest before turning toward Hakemaru. "Boy, tell me where the hanyou is."

"Excuse me?"

"Tell me where Tenshiume is, I smelled her here."

"Well, you don't have to look any further then." Tenshiume stepped out of her room and looked at the wolf demon. "Hello, Takane…what is the meaning of you coming here?" Tenshiume eyes rested on the woman and much hatred was formed into them.

The wolf demon smiled with pleasure as she slowly made her way over to Tenshiume and brought a fist toward her face. The girl moved swiftly and tripped the other female as she neared Takemaru and Hakemaru. Takane got up and grumbled.

"Takane!" Ryota appeared and saw the three in the shadows. He couldn't tell who they were until Tenshiume spoke.

"Hello Ryota, will Leilani be with you?"

"Of course…" Ryota body was tensed as Leilani appeared. The two starred at the woman for a long time. Leilani felt sick and wanted to do something, but she couldn't. Her best friend was the walking dead now.

"You can't blame me, Leilani."

"Of course I can!"

"No you can't, I was nearly dead after I went to school one day."

Leilani winced and held tightly to Ryota. The man starred at the girl for a long time and felt rather disgusted with her, but something told him that he couldn't do much about it.

"Leilani…it was her decision."

"She isn't the same though!" Leilani was in tears all of a sudden. Ryota sighed and patted her back slightly as he closed his eyes. Tenshiume voice broke in then.

"Well, if you rather not see me this way, don't ever come back to see me."

"But Tenshi…you are my friend…" Leilani looked up her voice was slightly rasped and her eyes red.

"You sure can put up a show. Leilani. You just been crying for only 5 minutes and here you are…all ready a mess." Tenshiume chuckled slightly but froze. "Get out."

"What?"

"Get out now!" Tenshiume brought out Fatal Destruction and turned toward Hakemaru and Takemaru.

"He is here."

"Get out now then!" Takemaru and Hakemaru began to push them all toward the door when Cillian came.

"Well, I wasn't suspecting such a large group." His eyes shot toward Leilani then. "How about we make a deal, neh? This okami hanyou and I shall leave you alone."

"No, you leave Leilani out of this." Tenshiume stepped up then and grabbed the girl. The cold grasp gave her the shivers and Ryota slightly tensed up. The man moved over to Tenshiume and grabbed Leilani, but the girl held on tightly. Leilani didn't know what was going, but Cillian was nearing them swiftly. Tenshiume soon threw the girl behind her and laughed, and soon twirled around and bought a heel up toward Cillian. Grabbing Leilani she jumped out of the window and ran through the places. Leilani heart was pounding all the way when they came to a sudden halt. Keeping her eyes closed, the girl could feel Tenshiume's cold hands upon her.

"Open your eyes."

Leilani open them to see a beautiful sight before her. She was in awe before she noticed that everyone was around. Ryota stayed in the shadow away from the walking corpse that held Leilani. The wolf hanyou soon made a disgusted face when she caught the scent of Tenshiume.

"Tenshiume…"

"Don't worry about it…" Tenshiume sighed and turned toward Takemaru and Hakemaru. The two stood there silently as they thought Tenshiume was about to get angry but soon walked toward her.

"We need to get Leilani to a safe place…"

"Why is he after the girl anyways?"

"To see if Tenshiume would sacrifice her self I'm guessing."

Tenshiume stayed quiet and moved into the shadows. She let them speak among themselves as she strolled around. It was true; Cillian wanted Leilani for bait, to lure Tenshiume out. She had no clue 

why he would still want her after all this time. She closed her eyes and brought her hands toward her forehead and fell toward the ground. Tears poured out of her eyes wishing for more than this. Her body slowly began to shake but soon enough; a hand had touched her delicate skin. Cupping her chin, she found out Takemaru was standing before her. His sincere eyes glanced into her content eyes. They may have been swollen and red, but she wouldn't know for the boy's touch would always wash her worries away.

"Tenshiume, what is on your mind?"

"Much is on my mind, Takemaru." Shifting her eye toward the ground, the girl tried to focus her mind toward clearing it. Her heart was full of emotions along with her mind. Fear had covered her face as she stood there.

"If there is something I can do, do please tell." His eyes rested on her as she stood there wishing for a miracle.

"There is nothing more that you can do, is just to stay here with me." They were soon embraced in a tight huge knowing that something was abounding to tear it about.

They were right, Ryota came running toward them and spoke swiftly. The man eyes were full of concern and worry, and Tenshiume knew she had to do something for this man. Getting up from Takemaru's grasp she forced him to slow down.

"What is it?"
"Cillian, he had came and taken Leilani." Ryota brought his hands towards his thighs and panted slightly. Tenshiume went paler than usual and turned toward Takemaru. The man liquid eyes ere a blaze with anger, he did not want Tenshiume to go and save her friend now, he knew that there was something more to this, and Cillian was trying to trick them.

"Tenshiume, you can't go."

"She is my friend…" Even though she had a strong steady face on, her voice shook with emotion. Fear was in her eyes as she kept them toward the ground trying not to attack their attention toward it. Moving from them, she began to run swiftly toward the forest. She could feel his presences as she moved in a blur.

"Well, I'm sure she will be coming soon, or it won't be worth it in the end." Cillian had Leilani changed up around a tombstone. She couldn't tell whether if it was meant for her or it was someone else's, but altogether she was afraid. The cold stone touched her gentle soft skin and rubbed against it, making her teeth chatter as a cold breeze blew around. Tenshiume, don't come, please don't come… Holding in her agony in, the girl brought her eyes toward the entrance and had much hope that Tenshiume would not come through the door and save her. Cillian would be ready when she did. He would throw his blades at her and pin her toward the wall, and slowly would bring up memories that haunted her. That is how Leilani was capture; Cillian forced everyone to bring up their worst memory and captured Leilani.

"Girl, why don't you scream?" Cillian appeared in front of Leilani and brought a cold hand against her gracious cheek. Chills went down her back as his smile spread across his face as he lowered it towards her. "Scream, I dare you to, she will get here faster."

"I won't."

"You will."
"Maybe she doesn't have to." Tenshiume appeared with much hatred in her eyes and anger in her body. Her eyes were sincere though, but her body had much anger in it.

"You dumb mutt, you ruin my plan." The man's eyes dropped with much anger and soon let go of Leilani and turned toward her. Grabbing several daggers, the man went running toward the woman. She moved around him and brought her left hand into his back, slamming him into the ground. A dent went through the ground as she jumped back and landed gently by Leilani. Cillian got up with much hatred in his eyes. He got up and soon brought a hand up making a connection toward the girl's eye connection. He focused all his thoughts into hers hoping to gather the information he wanted, however, the girl was not startled and not harm.

"What how can that be?"

Tenshiume began to chuckle as she slowly brought out her fang and strolled toward him and brought it toward his chin. Cillian eyes sharp as he got up and glared toward the woman. Leilani was relieved but not all the way. Watching the two danced around the graveyard with much space in between them and their hatred toward each other shooting across; made the girl fear.



"Tenshiume! Watch out!" Leilani saw how swift Cillian soon became. He desired to bet her and do something.

Tenshiume moved, but soon she felt something grab her leg and forced her on the ground. Her eyes where open with fear as she saw the face of a young woman before her; her delicate face with her yellow eyes and long black hair.

"Ruthana…" Tenshiume couldn't fight no more, knowing that her friend was no longer a friend. Pain soon engulfed her chest as agony covered her mind. Cillian soon figured it out, the girl was no in pain of seeing her friend there, no longer a friend. He was placed with this and got up and moved toward her.

"Friendship, as they say…it never last. Ruthana bring the girl toward Leilani and let the wolf hanyou watch." Cillian waited as Ruthana slowly brought Tenshiume toward Leilani. The woman was as white as sheet, and her eyes were dim with no glow in them. Her skin looked like ash and Leilani feared.

"Tenshi…please don't die on me…"
"I can't escape death twice…" Were all the words she could bring out. Leilani eyes began to fill with pain and agony. Turning away she held them tightly. Ryota…Takemaru…please hurry…Leilani knew that they would come, they had to or it would be worthless in the end. Biting her lower lip, she prayed and prayed for them to come.

"Now, time to bring back my lady back…"

Cillian slowly began to lower himself toward Tenshiume, but the girl tensed up and feared for the worst. He was going to kiss her? What was it for? Tenshiume felt his face close to hers, but soon he was lifted away and some warm hands lifted her up and held her. Keeping them close she was trying to figure out who it was. The fragrance was so similar to hers; she soon slowly began to open her eyes.

"Dad?"

"Tenshiume, you are going to cheat death one more time for me." Makoto held her close as he stood there with her in his arms. Ryota and Takemaru were soon there, with Hakemaru and Takane following.

"You foul creatures, what do you think will be accomplished. The process is nearly done."

"We can hope that getting her away from you, will do much more good than to you."

Cillian snarled at the dog demon and soon began to run toward him, but stopped as the four others came in front of him. Cillian snarled as he turned to see Tenshiume staring at him dimly, but with a new look. Her eyes were going back to their orginal color, and her skin began to warm up with her soft tan color skin. The man soon began to back away feeling the strong presence of Makoto getting to him, he swiftly moved and picked up Ruthana then and disappeared. Makoto looked toward the girl than to see that she was slowly beginning to drift off to sleep.

"Take me to where you sleep."

"Erm, OK then." Takemaru showed the way as everyone followed, including Leilani (Ryota untied her while they spoke and before he jumped in front of Makoto.) They made good timing when they got into the apartment. Makoto laid Tenshiume in the TV on the couch. Takemaru was staring at her and looked toward the man.

"She cheated death twice now…and she lost her vampire being didn't she?"
"Yes, it was something that had to happen…" Makoto was slightly glade, but worried about Takemaru on how he is taking it. "Takemaru, I'm sorry that she is no longer a vampire."
"As long as she is alive, I'm good, I just wished she could had well…stayed a vampire, but this will do."

"She can't cheat death for long though." The man soon jumped out of the window and disappeared with those words lingering in the room. Everyone was confused and wanted to know more, but soon felt they had to do something more than just stand there…
