(Dream Sequence)

He was dreaming. It was a memory of that faithful night. But wait, something was different. He glanced around his surroundings. There. Beside the huge oak tree.

"You..." Ryoma whispered as he stared at the figure while his arm tightened around Misa's still form. Blue, sad eyes stared back at him haughtily. The figure turned his back and disappeared into the night.

Ryoma woke up in cold sweat as he breathed harshly. The memory slowly registered in his mind before red clouded his eyes. 'He was there.' Ryoma thought as he growled softly.

"The meeting has been set." Hisoka said as he walked towards Ryoma. He stopped abruptly as Ryoma's cold voice reached him.

"Push it back. I have unfinished business to take care of."

The transformation came swiftly and smoothly. Ryoma's ear became triangular and moved to the top of his head, his nose became longer; fur sprouted everywhere as his clothes seemed to dissolve into him. There was a distinct popping sound that indicated that the transformation was completed. Sounds and senses sharpened and spun dizzily through his mind. Every nerve in his being seemed to quake with life. Anger surged through him as Ryoma let out a howl before racing off into the direction of where Fuji was located before heading off into that direction. He was out for the kill.

He ran to Fuji's house and barged through the door, scattering splinters in every direction. His loose-limbed, rangy frame tensed in anticipation as he heard Fuji heading his way. When Fuji came into view, Ryoma's muscles rippled across his flanks as he leapt at Fuji and held him against the wall. He let out a frustrated snarl as he leaned his head closer.

I was so angry at that moment. I felt betrayed, hurt. Something inside me broke loose inside my head when I held him by the throat. Ecstasy. I wanted him dead. To fell his blood pour out of the wounds I have inflicted. It took everything in me not to kill him in that instant. Every breath he took sounded like the last breath Misa took before she passed away. With that in mind, I slowly came to reason. I wanted answers, and I wanted them now!

Ryoma's body shook furiously but he kept his hold on Fuji's neck. He was human again. Ryoma took a long sniff and hissed out angrily, "Leech." he growled out. 'Why didn't I recognize it sooner?' he thought.

"You were there! That night when my sister was killed in cold blood, you were there!" Ryoma said in a cold voice as he tightened his grip. Fuji kept silent though his eyes opened and looked at him tenderly.

"You could have stopped it. You could have saved her, damn it!" Ryoma said as he pulled Fuji away from the wall only to push him against it more forcefully.

"Ryoma, what are you doing?" a soft voice asked from behind him. He turned slowly to see Sonia standing there barefooted in her Princess Jasmine pj's. Something was different about her this evening. It was her eyes. He recognized them. Recognition and horror filled his own eyes as he turned toward Fuji.

"You didnt. Tell me you didn't!" Ryoma yelled out angrily.

"It was the only way...Sonia, go back to bed." He muttered while looking at Ryoma.

"You had no right to turn her into your kind!"

"I didn't turn her into my kind. She is a hybrid. Like you..."Fuji said calmly. Denial quickly sprang to Ryoma's eyes and just as he was about to retort, he stopped and whiffed the air.

"Misa..." He muttured before releasing fuju and ran to her room using his sense of smell. He barged in and took the attack that was meant for her. Red bloomed over his clothes as blood began to seep onto the floor.

"My, my... so you're Ryoma. You're cute." A voice said behind him in a purr. A figure slowly walked in to make an appearence. "My name is Sakuno, but you needn't remeber long. Because you're going to die." she stated calmly as she walked into his line of vision. She stood infront of him and cocked her hips to the left side. She had long chesnut colored hair, black leather jeans, and a red corset.

"Let's begin, shall we?" she said as she smiled cruelly. She ran a finger in the trail of blood before bringing it to her lips. "Delicious. Who knew bastards tasted so good." she said as she inhaled deeply. Sakuno's gaze ran over his face before her mouth twisted into a sneer. Ryoma watched as she slowly approached him. Due to the fact that he took a direct hit for Misa, he couldn't transform and his body was slowly healing, making it unabled him to fight back for the time being.

"You look just like your mother." she muttered hatefully before she brought her foot up and kicked him in the stomach and into the hall. "Do you wanna know a little secret? You mother was a whore. She thought that just becasuse she was beautiful, she could do whatever she wanted. Master was completely fooled by her and feel in love. He courted her only because no one was good enough for him, not even me." she added angrily before punching him in the stomach. "She ran off with a mangy wolf right after Master asked her to mate, and he was more humiliated than depressed. He gathered everyone in his army to hunt down the traitors and kill their whole family. Imagine how happy i was when he said to find them. Now imagine how estatic i was when he said to kill them. I had the pleasure of finishing her off personally and i led Master to Misa. " Sakuno said as she curled her fingers into his hair and brought his head back sharply.

"She was so innocent, so young. I never had more fun. But i wonder......does 'Big' brother taste better than her?" she taunted as she extended her fangs, preparing to bite. A violent gust of wind blew her back viciously.

"Enough Sakuno." Fuji ordered as he appeared infront of Ryoma.

"Fuji..." she muttured dazedly. "What are you doing. You know the Master wants him dead. How could you betray him?" When she didnt get an answer back her eyes widened before narrowing, "You love him. You love this filthy half breed. I wonder what He would say if he found out his favorite pet was in love with the son of his ex-lover." she said with an amused expression on her face before she vanished.

"I can't wait till it happens." her voice whispered into the still hall.
