Back to ze past

A soft childish laugh soon changed into that of a musical female laugh. Before Kaoru stood Amaterasu rather then the illusion of his son. She pulled his head up so they looked eye to eye, another knife to his throat. "For a Kitsune, your slow on illusions."

He glared at her thorugh the pain
"Where is my son?" he snarled

"This is what your not getting." Amaterasu laughed, waving the knife infront of his face. "Now lets think for a moment. Oh thats right, Ayama tried to kill herself when she first found out she was pregent. Oh thats right, Ayama tried to kill everyone she once knew. She was mad with power wasn't she. Now, if I recall correctly, she fell pregent soon after again. So lets just say, for arguments sakes, that the first child was yours. I mean, who would want to breed with you right?" She laughed. "And the second one was with a man she had already bred with once."

Kaoru snarled, "Liar! Ayama wouldn't do that to me... again. She would have told me!"
he didn't want to believe this, but he=is conviction was starting to fail
"Where is he?!!"

"I love how your so clueless." Amaterasu laughed, driving her knife into his stomach again. "The first child would have been yours, and the second was mentaros. How else can I say this?"

Kaoru gasped and shook his head
"I-I don't care... as far as i'm concerned... he's mine..."

"Sadly, you being concerned does not change the fact of D.N.A" Amaterasu said, licking the blood off her knife. She kicked him Back. "And now you can bleed to death,"

Kaoru grimaced and tried to force himself into a sitting position
"Just cause the fucking bastard...impregnated her... doesn't make him a good father"

"No, but at least it makes him a father. Your nothing more then... A wannabe Pa. Why, I bet you can't even get the most fertile person in the whole country pregent." Amaterasu taunted

kaoru spat blood at her feet,
"I guess you do more than your share to populate the country you filthy whore!"
he snarled

Amaterasu slowly bent down and lifted his head to hers. "I guess you'd know that wouldn't you?" She licked up the side of his face. "Since you've felt lust for me too."

"your not so pretty,
At least I don't have to resort to illusions.
I thought you'd have some last shred of dignity"
he spat again
"guess I was wrong"

She drove her knife into his stomach again and twisted it. "Poor little Foxy. His world is breaking around him. His son, isn't his son. His lover was unfaithful and his new girlfriend doesn't want him. Whats left in the world for a man who has nothing?"

Kaoru cried out
he pushed her away from him
"I'm comforted by knowing that I have more than you"
then he blasted her in the face with his foxfire

Amaterasu cried out, running away from him and holding her face. Her screams soon turned into laughs as she pulled her hands away. Her melted face rehealed itself.

"Nice try."

"I'm glad you like it." Arashi said with a distracted smile. She brushed her fringe from her eyes and winced as a flash of pain lanced through her stomach. The miki dismissed it and stood up, carrying her empty bowl over to the washing basin. Unknown to her, the soup she had served up was laced with poison.

Mori yelled in fury, kicking an inanimate objects across the grass before sinking down across from Yuki and the boy he had considered a son.

"I... Fucking..." Yuki tried to speak before he handed Sadaharu to Mori. "I have to go." And with that, he walked away.

---

Sany watched her go, worried.

Mori held Sadaharu close, too dazed to do anything else as Yuki walked away. Shade was standing behind Mori now, a few villagers having noticed the rucus clamouring around them, but the noises seemed silent to Mori. They couldn't even hide away in a village and be safe; there was always something else to lose. He ran a shaking hand through Sadaharu's bloody hair and flinched when Shade touched his shoulder, wrenching his mind from the reverie.

Raven watched in vague amusement from the front porch as the commotion broke out. Well Amaterasu had had her fun. He turned slightly from the view to look to the door when he heard the Miko cry out. Everything was going so well! He restrained the cheerful laugh building up in his chest and forced on instead a look of concern. He was pleased with that. It was fast working after all, and if everything went well with the one person here that could actually figure out an antidote, then he could take out the others.

Arashi had fallen against the wall suddenly, hands clutching her stomach and eyes wide when the horribly unnatural stab of pain once again burned through her stomach. She sank down the wall just as Raven walked back inside.

he scowled
"What i want to know is why the hell are you doing this?!
I know not of anything i have done to slight you, i don't even know you!"

Takeo was wandering over in the direction of Lizzy and Shades house
when he smelt the blood and came running
he saw Mori covered in the blood of the boy in his arms
unsure what to do he asked him what had happened

"He's dead." Mori said slowly, eyes ablaze. He tightened his grip on Sadaharu's cold body and drew him closer. "He's dead." He repeated, the bewilderment in his voice replaced by anger. He was dead, and he probably never stood a chance.

"I'm so sorry, do you know who killed him?"
he sighed internally, not here even five minutes and the trouble starts!

"If I did, why do you think I would still be here?" Mori snapped in outrage, though his eyes didn't move from the younger panther.

"Sorry dude, just trying to help" he said

((He wouldn't know the word 'dude'! And even if Hikaru had for whatever reason taught it to him I'm sure that someone from feudal japan would struggle with putting it into context!))
