Chapter 15

Horrified and unsure of what to do the most survivors scattered.

"Damn, there is only one way for us to defeat him," said Kain. "It might not work because hime-sama might die for real; remember what happened last time when Kuran Rido took over Shiki's body? Yuki and Zero had to wound Shiki's physical body. The same is going to happen here, except we have to seal away hime-sama's powers before that can be done or we will never get close enough. Someone has to distract him though, until the sealing is done. Unfortunately there are no records of sealing in Shichiyou castle. They must have been purged of long ago. Kaname do remember what Juri-san spell used on Yuki to seal away her vampire nature?"

"Yes," said Kaname.

"Hana," called Kain. "We will distract Rido. Ikuzo (let's go? I heard something that sounded like this on an English subbed Naruto episode…)"

"Let's," said Hanabusa. He was determined to get this done, even if it meant that he and Kain would have to work with the very man that broke his hahaoya's heart. Besides, when she woke, she would be grateful, that was if they were successful because at this stage, the stakes were high.

He and Kain split in different directions. They ran at Rido, both coming from different directions. Fire and ice collided, as Rido jumped away at the last second.

"Kuso (the mother of all swear words in Japanese)," said Hanabusa. He wiped blood from his mouth. "Hurry up, oji (grandpa, or old man in this case)." He was referring to Kaname, who was resurrected by Rido.

"How disrespectful," muttered Kaname. "You should know it takes a long time for old men to be ready!" he shouted at Hanabusa jokingly. It was a hint that he was ready.

Both Hanabusa and Kain used what was left of their power to immobilize Rido, as Kaname chanted the spell.

"I'm sorry hime-sama," said Boa reverently, as she empty a round of bullets into Kaetsukikko's body.

Black smoke erupted from Kaetsukikko's body along with a long drawn out shriek, "You will pay for this!"

"Yeah," said Hanabusa. "Not while we are still on this earth, protecting hahaoya."

"Thank you," said Kain grudgingly to Kaname, who just shrugged, as if it was nothing.

"Come on," cried Shiroi to the other maids. "Help me carry hime-sama back to her bed."

Uruki and Meiyu put Kaetsukikko on a stretcher and carried back to her room. Ruka and Rima grabbed Yuki, with Seiren following and opening the door for them. Although both Shiki and Takuma were wounded, they helped support Kain and Hanabusa as they walked back into the castle.

Both Yuki and Kaetsukikko were placed onto their beds, and preserved in ice by lowering the temperature in the rooms drastically, before the others retired to their own rooms. For now, their bodies will not be touched because there was no way they could be aided as of yet, due to exhaustion in the household from the battle that had just taken place.

Doomedpassion: what's going to happen to Yuki and Kaetsukikko (Zero)?
