Ken looked over the wer in the hotel and noticed the absence of the tall African. He sighed heavily hoping that he hadn't turned to the other side. The door opened behind him and he spun looking at Tomaru and Baijo the tall African leader holding the limp body of his brother. He rushed to the two of them and scooped Keiji up sinking to the floor gently rocking his brother. He felt the gentle flutter of eyelashes against his cheek and looking in to lovely blue eyes. "Ken I remembered you mentioning Persia once. He's working for Nanashi and the doctors were keeping me in a coma. Half of the hospital is working for him and they killed Hashi." He growled slightly and hugged his brother gently. "Tomaru take Keiji up to Doc. Omi did you hear what he said?" His little blond friend nodded clearly already on the phone with Manx. He looked at the two who brought his brother in and smiled. "Thank you both." The tall muscular African nodded slightly and moved with all the grace of the deadly hunter and tracker he was and sat calmly.
Ran slammed his shoulder against the thick steel door in a useless effort to try and budge it. He sighs heavily and slides to the floor looking at the other three occupants in the room. Crawford's arm is still bleeding slightly, Kenta is unharmed and the other boy who looks exactly like his lover only with blond hair and lily white skin is laying on the floor his lips moving in a silent prayer. He sighs and hits his head against the door at a loss of what to do. The stonewalls keep them confined and the slight gap above the door allows air in but is too small for any of them to squeeze through. They are stuck and they might never be saved because there was miles of abandon sewer lines running under the park. They were stuck and that thought alone brought him a horrid sinking feeling.
Ken shoved a gun in Yuushi's hand and smiled darkly. The blond blinked at him and stepped back. "You are going to find Ran. Kill anyone who stands in your way." The blond shook his head and he grabbed his hand more tightly. "There are casualties in war Yuushi and we are at war, my lover and little brother will not be among those causalities. If you love Ran you will find him because if you don't you will face me and I will not act kindly." Golden eyes grew wide but the blond nodded gently grabbing Pawn's arm. "Schuldich do you have a lock on them?" The redhead sighed and shook his head sadly. "No Brad keeps loosing consciousness and he didn't see where they were taken. I keep trying to reach Ran but wer are hard to read." He nodded and thought over the situation for a moment then sighed deeply. "Try Kenta." The redhead nodded and walked off with Yuushi and Pawn.
Omi put a hand on Ken's shoulder hoping to ease some of the tension he could see set between strong shoulders. He heard the glide of Ken's claws coming in and out of his gloves while he stood stiffly. "Ken?" He asked softly and his friend turned face hard but eyes begging for something he wasn't sure he knew how to give. "Omi I'm scared." His friend whispered so softly he wasn't even sure he heard. He flung himself at his best friend and hugged him tightly. "Me too Ken-kun." Strong arms wrapped around him and held him tightly squeezing him almost painfully.
Ken released Omi slowly and looked around and sighed looking down. He was in full hunter gear and more than ready to fight but he wanted Ran first. He wanted his love safe and in his arms. He wasn't ready to do this to risk other's lives for a cause he wasn't sure he believed in. He shook his head softly and nodded to himself once. There was nothing about the cause not to believe in. He looked at all there wer his eyes stopping on each of the leaders from across the world, people willing to leave their homes and give up their power to fallow him because they believed in him. He looked at the pretty blond from America who was getting married in six weeks to a handsome lawyer. He looked at the young man from Russia who was desperately in love with the boy next door. He looked at the tall man from South Africa who had six kids and three wives to support. He looked at the lady from Brazil who was going to school to be a doctor. He looked around the room at all the people that had hopes and dreams that could be taken from them if they fought with him but would have them taken if they didn't win. He was fighting for them and he slowly found the words to say so.
"Today we go on a path we can not turn from." He spoke softly while every one stopped to turn to him. "Today you all rest your fate in my unworthy hands but know you do not march alone. We are all one heart beating to the sounds of a war many of us were not expecting to fight. If one of us bleeds we all bleed for we are all one. We fight for one cause and that cause if freedom. Many men have lost their loves over lesser causes and many men have gone to war for a much sadder reason." His voice started to rise as he gained strength from those around him and he hopped up on the table pacing slowly. "Freedom is what has driven many of you from your homes to this country across the sea, across the world. Freedom is what brought many of you who have been in war for more years than you've been alive to an understanding. Freedom is what brought me here before you and what drives me to tell you this. I am one with you all. If you bleed so do I, if you cry for the loss of your brother so do I. We are all brothers and sisters in this battle because we are all one cat, human and wolf alike we are all one.
"Are unity can never be broken nor will our spirit. All of our hearts are one so are spirit is mightier than the largest army. You cannot crush a great spirit! We are a great spirit because one heart is one spirit and our spirit cries out for FREEDOM! We will not let this man take away what is ours. A greater man would stand before you and promise victory but I am not a great man. I'm a nineteen-year-old kid who just discovered what true love is really like. I'm a lonely orphan who just found his family. I am nothing compared to you and yet you believe in me and that belief has lead me to have faith in my self and in my heart. As long as we stand as one they cannot beat us because they are separate and they are weak. We feed on that weakness and find strength in ourselves and that strength will surely lead us to the path we must take. I pray you all stay well. I pray you all find the strength to do what you must. We can not lose if we are true to our hearts."
The wolves let out a long howl while the cats let out low roars and the few humans that stood with him just smiled in silence but their message was all too clear 'victory is ours!' He smiled softly and hopped off the table leading the way out the hotel doors and started off down the street. Tears filled his eyes as a low song started to drift though the crowd at his back. The song spoke of victory and finding a happy end and he cold only hope this is where he lead them.
Nanashi snarled as he gathered his army to meet Ken head on but the others were afraid and many had fled. His once great army had dwindled in size but he knew they had a strength the others did not. They had the blood of a human born from two wer and as long as that blood coursed through them they could not be beaten.
Ah so the battle begins.
