Sorry for the late update of the chapter. I've just been really busy with life and ya. Oh and the name Gina in Japan means silvery and is a girls name. Also if your confused Gina is the wolf's name (I switch back and forth between wolf and Gina).

Chapter 3 Continuation

Eihi walked out of the chamber leaving Kyuna starring down at the cold floor. Kyuna looked up to make sure Eihi was gone. Seeing that he had completely left a smirk spread to each corner of her mouth. She pursed her lips and a high-pitched whistle split through the air around. No humans could hear this whistle so it was safe to use. The guards that were placed outside didn't notice but in a flash Kyuna saw the guards fall with a thud in front of the doorway. A white blur jumped over the motionless bodies and walked over to Kyuna.

The blur stayed in place, swaying lightly back and forth. Kyuna whistled again but this whistle was low and more commanding. The white blur came over bowing its head as it trotted over. Its sharp teeth shearing the chains free of Kyuna's wrists.

Kyuna nuzzled into the it's fur," Good work Gina." She said whispering into the wolf's fur. "Let's go."

They sprinted from the underground chamber up to the pavilion. The moon showed a red tint in it. Kyuna looked around making sure no one was in sight. Another set of commands were whistled out to the wolf with hand motions pointing to the guard tower. Gina sprinted to the guard tower and a series of thuds could be heard as the wolf sprinted back with Kyuna's weapons and bag.

Kyuna had all of her belongings in her bag and hand but instead of moving she gripped her stomach. The baby was fussing.

Gina saw her master and laid down to assist her. Kyuna climbed on to the wolf and laid her head on the wolf's fur while rapping her arms around Gina's neck as they ran out of the palace and into the thicket of the woods.

"Find Bankotsu, Gina." Kyuna whispered into the wolf's ear as they suddenly changed directions. I know he's not dead. I just know it. He can't be. He's not.

The scenery changed to a familiar sight with spilt blood all around. A single body left on the ground. It wasn't moving an inch. Kyuna stumbled off Gina and tried walking over to Bankotsu's body still grinding her teeth as the pain pulsated at every slight movement. Gina helped support her as she walked even closer. The smell of blood was everywhere and would soon attract demons desiring to feed on the weak or dead..

They finally made it over to Bankotsu's body. Kyuna grasped the sword from Bankotsu's stomach releasing it with every strength she had left before falling to her knees. Quickly she grabbed some milford and red clover from her bag and placed it on Bankotsu's wound. His eyes were white and she feared that everything was lost, that she had come to late.

Out of surprise his eyes blinked and color returned to them. He looked up at her and smiled lightly. A couple of tears shimmered on Kyuna's face and another smile was created. A warm hug came after that. "Don't scare me like that you idiot." Kyuna said squeezing him harder.

"Sorry." Bankotsu replied struggling to get out words as he choked.

"Don't talk. It'll only make things worse. You should be well in a couple of days if you…" Kyuna was interrupted by an unexpected pierce of pain that shot up to her head. She screamed with another kick from the baby.

" What's wrong?!" Is all Bankotsu could say. Just starring at her blankly.

"The baby is wanting to come out now or sometime soon…" Kyuna answered as another scream rippled through the air.

Bankotsu was in no condition to move anyone not even himself at that. But he knew staying in this blood-bathed place was a definite no. Then a thought occurred to him. He shot a look at the wolf and then whistled. Slowly the wolf patted over with its head down.

Bankotsu lightly grabbed the wolf by its gruff, "Gina, find the bones of my brothers Jakotsu, Suikotsu, and Renkotsu and then dig under where the bones are until you find some purple glowing shards. Bring the bones and the shards back as fast as you can. Go!" and with that the wolf raced off while Bankotsu crawled over to Kyuna trying to comfort her.
