Whipping the sweat off my forehead, Shuu patted my back ''You are indeed one special lady'' ''Thank you, Shuu. You did well also'' Shuu's arms were mangled up. Bruise and lumps formed under the fast-growing hair on his arms

''You really should get armour plated to your arms'' Shuu chuckled loudly. Shuu with the other households become to take an animal-like figure. Shuu is a lion. Long gold hair, big teeth, pointed nose. With a heavy-built body. He can be very lazy sometimes

''My arms only get like this, when I'm fighting you, Nova! I see no use in them if they brack every time we spare!'' Shuu even with his looks changing was loud and brut, always getting with a girl ''But just looking at your arms I feel bad'' ''Don't worry. Price Kouen can always heal it back on'' ''I always forget he had that djinn'' 

''Lady Nova'' A soldier came my way with a sword ''yes?'' ''I'll see you off. I've got business to see too'' Shuu rested his paw on my shoulder ''Goodbye Shuu'' The soldier held the sword out to me ''The blacksmiths repaired The Sword'' I gulped when he took it out of the new shife 

Hakuren craved sword looked ban knew, shinning my sweaty reflecting back at me ''Oh my...'' Shacking my hands roughly, I stopped the shaking of my nervousness. The soldier stepped back. I swang it around my body, twisting the light handle in my hand. It had brilliant balance and cut through the air swiftly. Just like how Hakuren welded it

''Lady Gyokuen said that you could keep it'' hearing that name, sent a twinge in my chest. She got us. Somehow she knew we'll going to act the very next day, and sent her own plan in action. She got us all. Killed us one by one, keeping the ones she could control

I heard his steps leave ''I wonder if you're still in there Inu?'' my mouth fell when the bright shine of the djinn star shoot up ''Inu?! That means Hakuren still-- Kouen! Kouen!'' I nearly dropped his sword in excitement, running down the halls ''Kouen!'' I called his name all the way to the library hall

''Oww!'' I fell over his tall body, tumbling to the ground. Judar groaned standing up ''What was that for!?'' I rolled my eyes helping myself up. Judar stood there and watched ''What's that?'' He looked at the light coming form the sword ''Nothing! Now go away!'' Judar scoffed, continuing on his way

I run down the right hall seeing the library doors ''Kouen-- arg!'' I felt the spear hit, my back. Blood shoot past my teeth, onto the floor. My legs couldn't hold me up, tumbling back down to the floor ''WE got her'' ''You sure you put the poison on it. You dont' want her getting out'' ''I did'' the two men dressing in all black, tried my wrist and ankles together. Ripping the spear out they muttered about me bleeding out before I reached the river. When they lifted me up, the sword dropped off my body not he floor

''Get that, before someone see's'' ''Yeah, yeah'' He picked up Hakuren's old sword ''Owww she actually awake'' ''Fuck, she's one hell of a woman'' The man stared into my eyes curiously ''SHe's different than others, maybe that's why Gyokuen asked us to use the poison'' ''Probably'' They wonder through the palace, making sure don't to get spotted my anyone

''Where are we going?'' I asked when I saw the kingdom get smaller and smaller. My jaw finally respond to what my brain was saying. I remember this fuzzed feeling. It was the same like three years ago. You're muscles ached, your brain fogged. You couldn't move a muscle. But it was starting to wear off. It must've been a weaker one, or maybe it was all the blood I was losing

''You'll find out. She thought you'll find peace in the place we put you'' Chuckling I remember the path already. The rose bushes to the side, growing next to trees. The little animals making their homes in the trees. And the sand before the water egde

''Can I sit for a while?'' The men looked at each other, before sitting me down on the tree trunk ''What is this place to you?'' ''This is where I got taught to swim. Where all the royal children came on the hot days. Where I finally omitted my feelings for him''

''You tie back well to here then?'' ''Yes. Lots of happy memories'' The older male with a large nose, and green eyes pulled a blind fold over my eyes. The younger one, that watched me before had deep brown skin and light camel eyes ''I was told to give you this message... 'You may have won the fight, but I will always win the war Titian' That's what she said to say'' They picked me up once again. I fell throw the air, ready to hit the water

I didn't even fight back. I didn't want to fight back. Hakuren was alive, that's all that matters. He'll come back one day, to take his home back. And I'll be helping him for the after life. If I had to claw that bitch down to hell with me, I won't mind...

Goodbye Kouen, Koumei, Kouha and all their sisters. I wish you well, fighting for the Kou Empire
