Keiji slumped against the tree as they found victory on the field. A kodachi hung loosely from one hand while the other gripped his side. His breathing was labored but they had won and he had helped. Ken came up to him and unzipped his vest and sighed deeply. "Baka. You reopened your stitches for the second time." He smiled at his brother and leaned against him. "We won Ken." His brother was silent so he looked up and blinked. "What?" He was his brother mate come over and gently touched the strong shoulder that was currently supporting most of his weight. "I didn't see Nanashi and the numbers are much lower than we predicted. Something isn't right. We should get back to the den the others there might be in trouble. We'll come back for the dead once we are finished. I'm leaving a few people here to help the injured; you should stay here too." He shook his head and gripped his brother's jacket. "Kenta is in trouble. Please don't expect me to stay here Ken I beg you. I can still fight." Blue eyes regarded him closely and his brother sighed turning to his lover and ripping his shirt. He blinked while the vest was slid off of him and the strip of cloth was tied tightly about his ribs pulling the gash together and constricting his breathing. The vest was put back on and zipped. "Tomaru carry him please. I'll let him fight but he needs to gain some strength back." He was lifted carefully onto his friend's back and they headed off with the pack.
Kenta held his breath watching the long line of wer that weren't Ken and the others approach. Schuldich told him to wait to not give away their positions till the last moment. He could wait but he was scared of what this might mean. Both of his brothers could be dead along with every one else. They were the last hope for the world and if that was the case then they were doomed.
Ken looked at Ran and gently removed one of his claws and threaded his fingers with that of his love. Violet eyes regarded him silently and his hand was given a slight squeeze. He gave a strained grateful smile then looked away. Ran was here and safe but the thought of still having the chance to lose his love nagged at him. "I won't leave you Ken." He laughed softly and snuggled into his lover while they walked back to the hotel their makeshift den. "I thought Schuldich was the mind reader not you." His lover kissed his hair softly and gripped his hand more firmly. "I can do anything when it comes to you." He smiled softly then crumpled as Schuldich screamed in his head. Many of the others had paused and he stood and started running before he could think to stop himself. The others were in trouble, his baby brother and soon to be sister-in-law were in trouble.
Ran didn't even think to pause when he heard the scream and Ken started running. His sister was in danger and he wouldn't let anything happen to his sister again if he could prevent it. He gripped his lover more tightly not wanting to lose Ken either so he would hold on for as long as possible. The others of the pack had started running shortly after them taking the odd scream in their minds as a singnal that something bad was happening. He and Ken still lead the pack with Omi and Yohji right on their heels. They were Weiss this is what they did, they were at the peak of physical endurance and their home and family was in danger. This was the first mission he knew they were all willing to die for. He saw Yohji's wire fly and catch one of the enemy spies with out the effort it took to even pause. They were Weiss this is what they did.
Schuldich let out a loud mental scream to any who could hear it. They were doomed if the wer decided to come down in full force. They had under estimated the power of the rouge wer they were facing. They expected there to be at least five hundred seven hundred at most but the army that faced them was close to two thousand. A shot off went off beside him and he glanced at his lover who just smiled weakly his glasses flashing like old times. "I'm not going to die in bed." He started laughing and let off a few shots glancing at the young boy who had taken out a few wer of his own. He saw the shimmer of Nagi in the boy and his heart went out to the two members of their team who weren't with them.
Naru looked at the wer coming toward the hotel and nodded. He had a feeling this would happen. He waited for a few of the leading wer to be shot before he let off his nasty little surprise. A large explosion rocked the ground and he knew he had just killed many and now he knew they were going to find him so he started to run.
Yuushi heard the explosion and looked outside knowing it was the signature sound of his teammate and friend. "Naru." He whispered softly and then re remembered the mass amount of explosives he had. He was a Crasher, Kritiker's demolition experts. Ran had taught them and he had fallen in love with the redhead who led him to his current love he still didn't have the courage to tell. He sprinted to the stairs and leaped over the blockade and bolted past the girl guarding the stairs. They had a chance they could win this.
Ken heard the explosion and stopped looking at Ran and the other two Crashers. He released his lover's hand and gently shoved him. "Go, go make sure your friend is safe." Ran looked at him and paused as the other two Crashers ran off. His lover kissed him deeply and smiled. "I wont leave you Ken. Keiji they'll need you go find Naru. Please we still need him." The boy hopped off Tomaru and nodded jogging after the other two. He smiled and pulled on his claw and looked at his friends and nodded. "This is our battle now!" The others nodded and they all started sprinting some of them pushing ahead on four legs. He smiled softly feeling the odd exhilaration of knowing that this wasn't a lost cause yet.
Aya braced the doors a little better and they stood ready. She looked at the girls and young kids that stood around her. They were ready to die for this and she knew she was too. "I love you Ran where ever you are. Keiji I love you too." She whispered softly hoping that her message reached those who it needed to. One wer shattered a window and she moved before the others killing the wolf that turned into a young man around her are maybe younger. It almost made her sick but she didn't pause as the next one came through.
Kenta turned his bow ready as the door opened. Yuushi held up his hands loaded with grenades. He blinked and the man smiled slightly at him. "You don't have anything that will give these suckers some distance do you kid?" He blinked and pulled out his slingshot. The man smirked and tossed him a grenade and he loaded it while his lover pulled off the pin and he fired. It landed somewhere in the middle of the pack and he loaded another.
Naru bolted dodging agilely though the trees when he crashed into a warm weight. He panicked slightly and elbowed the soft landing in the side and hear and extremely loud yelp. He looked down and blinked at Keiji and felt panic sweep over him. "Oh my god I'm sorry." The boy smiled below him and sat up slowly. "No worries. We should move and get back to Ken and your two teammates." He nodded and helped the other up and they both headed out of the trees.
Nanashi growled low in his throat. Things weren't going as planned. He had expected the hotel to be poorly guarded so they could just sneak in and slaughter the living then lay and wait as the others came from their victory and lay siege to them. He turned and froze as Ken stood staring at him smiling darkly. "Hello Nanashi. Miss me?" His words died on his lips as he stared into cold blue eyes that held the promise of death.
Omi looked to Nagi as they fought who ever came their way. Things were going poorly and he had the feeling that something worse was coming. He never spotted Persia or any of the members of Kritiker that abandon them but he didn't see Manx or Birman either. He was worried for the two ladies that had done so much for all of them and he was worried about his other teammates as well. Yohji had vanished some time ago and he wasn't sure where Ken and Ran had gone but those two seemed to vanish and reappear at will so he wasn't that concerned about them. He saw Schu and Crawford taking down their enemies up on the balcony and Farf popped up from time to time covered in blood clearly going for more. The death toll on both sides was already high and he knew it would only grow.
An update! This has been sitting here in my documents on the site for a while I almost feel bad but I've been working on this story so I could try and update faster and all I ended up doing was forgetting. I also was bad and didn't tell my beautiful reviewers how much I love them. so I will respond to all of those from the chapter before last and last chapter. So on we go.
HeatherR: Yes you should be writing. (whine whine) I want more of anything you are willing to give but since I am bad at updating I guess I can wait. As for Ran turning white that explanation is in chapter 31 I think is where I wrote it. maybe 30. oh well anyway I do explaine it however it makes very little sense but hay I think I'm good at not making any sense and throwing in random suprises. So yes. Uh for the Nanashi brother oh that is a BIG suprise! It even suprised me! hehehehehehehehehehe. No I'm not laughing evilly...well maybe a little.
Gillie: So much to say and so little time. So we will start with the fact that no I am not physic at least that I know of but my friends may say otherwise but I'm convenced it's my fish after all I did name him after our favorite German telepath.
Keiji and Kenta: Yes well um I throw in a suprise there too but what I won't say. No worries the cats and the wolfies are getting along now. Fighting for the same side seems to do that. I would also be super proud of them but I don't think I would want Keiji as my soon because I think I would try to molest him and that is just wrong on many levels but if he were I'd be so proud of him taking care Kenta like he did I'd die.
Ran and Crawford, Hidaka family talk: I liked this part too so I'm glad someone else enjoyed it.
Persia: I love Omi and I really felt that this part needed to be added because Omi really is the true Persia and I don't think anyone else could do the job like him. I also felt it needed to be shown how close Weiss was as a family and as friends.
I am also glad you liked the way Taki saw Ken and Ran and Kenken side by side fight. I'm so happy you love Kenta because I have the feeling he and Keiji will keep popping up in my stories because I really like them and they add a nice balance to things in my mind. I do think Schu is a sweet guy and I really wanted to show that and I thought Kenta was a good way.
I have soo much to say because you do and I could go on talking forever but I think that would be kind of unfair so I'll cut it off there but other than that I'm so glad every one seems to be liking it. I was a little nervous about this story and I had a lot of issues with it at the very beginning almost a year and a half ago. wow that was a long time ago. So thanks to every one who is sticking with me I hope you all keep on enjoying my work because in the end that is all that really matters. So later days.
