NINE-TAILED foxes gathered behind our hut. I didn't notice them last night because of the pain I've been feeling. I was busy and forgot to mind my surroundings. So now that I saw the whole fox nation, my jaw dropped. I don't know what exactly I am feeling right now, but it's exciting. I kinda like it here.
For the first time in forever. I finally found the other foxes. Kira, Loki, Mune, and I have been looking for the remaining fox, and I finally have them in my eyes. I'm so excited!
"Hi!" some random foxes said. I jumped in fear.
I almost punched this man who just appeared in front of me. God! Doesn't he know how to excuse?
"Who are you?" I asked.
I thought the one who surprised me was Hiro. But it's some nine-tailed fox. Or should I say, one-tailed fox?
"I'm Aizen, I belong to the alpha pack, and I am their leader. How about you? You seem to feel comfortable walking around with all that tails, huh," he said.
I fixe
FROM being vexed, his reaction turned confused. I understand the reason why."Then why are you clinging to him?! It feels like you're enjoying having him around," he said, broking the ice."I'm not clinging onto him, and I'm not enjoying it! He's the one who's trying to get close to me! Come to think of it, you're the one who's letting that bitch touch you freely and cling to you! Now, why are you passing the ball to me?" I asked. He couldn't say anything in return. He punched the floor until his hands spat blood. Why the heck is he acting silly again?!I stopped him from punching."...stop hurting yourself, my god!" I said and held his hand. His blood is like a faucet, it is flowing continuously. I licked it 'til the blood stopped bleeding. Aish! He's always making me worried over simple things."Do you want me to be rude then? And cast Zanna away every time she's coming to me?" he asked.I looked away. Should I answer or not? I don't even know w
VAMPIRES, that's where he truly belongs. His nature is greatly being imperiled by my sixth sense. Is this how fooled I become? Is it because I loved him so much with all of myself that I didn't notice his dark scheme?Because we were in the middle of the sun, his body couldn't escape from burning. He shouted out of pain. I don't know how I should feel. As I watched him burn, I realized how I'm still into him that much. I wanted to help him up, and ask for his reasons behind it. I wanted to believe everything he says because no matter how deep my pain is right now, I still don't get why he did this to me. It still doesn't make sense to me. How could I still love him despite all the things he did to me?My tears started to flow continuously down to my cheeks. I'm sobbing silently. No doubt, this necklace is just nothing. It didn't manage to escape me from loving Kent. I remember those days we used to go out before midnight strikes. He's always making an effort for
DESPITE feeling such excruciating pain, I still manage to recap Hiro's memory of talking with Kent. I want to know what's behind Kent's words that made Hiro sacrifice his life for Amaya. I'd turn my focus to Mune and Amaya these past few days that I forgot to look after him knowing he's just a mere human who will cooperate for crushing Kagome's soul soon. He will because that's his fate.The highest deity will rage on me for meddling in human lives. I'm sure that this pain is part of my punishment. I just hope that before entering the punishment realm, I find what I want to find and pass the mission to the other guardians."Are you sure you could do this?" Olivia asked. She held my chest 'cause it's shining bright red."Don't do it. You might pass out," Konan said.I laughed."You guys are the ones who kept on pushing me to get in between their lives. So what are you expecting to happen to me in return for doing that favor?" I said.&n
THE highest almighty threw me out in the punishment realm. I have to undress from top to bottom so the whip will penetrate all through my body. Before I even got to travel here, the almighty is already hurting me. He broke my tiara and tossed me on my throne. I ruined all of my belongings unintentionally because of that. He doesn't have to do that to punish me. I understand where his anger is coming from, but He doesn't understand my reasons behind it. Hence, I'm not blaming Him for his decisions.I was in the middle of the steep hanging bridge, with a chain on both of my hands that are connected to the bridge. Those chains caused me a lot of scratches on my wrist. Someone is on my back, whipping me like I am some kind of a cockroach who's flying like a butterfly.The one who's whipping me is the punisher that the highest almighty assigned."You keep on meddling! Humans have their own god, and you have yours. Their god is getting mad at our god
SHE bit my arm, and it left a mark. That's the sacrifice I have to make, or both of them might die by attacking one another."What should we do, Hiro? I'm so scared," Yna said. I placed my arms on her shoulder and tapped it."Just hide, or you'll get hurt. This is their nature. You knew it from the very beginning. So your fear is just a useless emotion right now," I said.She glared at me.Suddenly, Amaya jumped on my back and choked me. I almost lost my breath."Aya..." I called for her, but she wasn't responding. It feels like she's getting controlled using remote control by someone. Jeez, I hope I just imagine things.Yna took the chair and tossed Amaya using it, making her angrier. Using her power, she choked Yna and floated her into the air. Mune butted in and pulled Yna's legs. I thought he was finally getting back to himself, but he just gave her a bite.I was losing hope and hope to calm the twin becaus
JUST as I expected, everyone was shocked. Mune suddenly came to me and shook my body."Are you out of yourself, Amaya? Why are you spitting nonsense ideas?! It won't work either!" he said. But I just pushed him aside and looked at Hiro."Don't do it, bro. It'll hurt you," Yna said.But both of us ignored them.I saw Nathan in my peripheral vision, and he was gulping continuously."Don't you want it?" I asked Hiro.He sighed.He couldn't answer yet. Gosh, it's making me nervous! Now that we're in this situation, I realize what I did. Why am I asking this in a rushed manner without even thinking about it carefully? Aish!"Aya-""Are you gonna stare at each other forever? I thought you'll fetch a missing soul? What if it's gone now?" Nathan interfered.I looked at him."Shut up. Talk later, kid. Now, Hiro, tell me what you're going to say.""I don't think it would wor
KAGOME is running freely around the bed of tulips while Polo is chasing her. She's smiling to her ears genuinely. Her laugh is the sound of music to Polo's ears. He wished to hear it even after he married her. He planned to propose to her that night, but since Kagome was the leader of the whole fox nation, he couldn't find the perfect time to do it.Kagome lay down beside the tulips and smelled them."You smell and bloom like that flower. You can always find a way to grow even though only a shade of sun is what life has given to you," Polo said and kissed her forehead."Stop fooling me, Polo! Haha!" Kagome replied."Oh, do I look like that? I tried so hard to hide it, though," he said and pouted.Kagome hit his shoulder and laughed."Stop fooling around; I might miss your cute face once I leave.""Haha! Just kidding. But honestly, I meant what I said," Polo replied.A deafening silence is what resounds to the whole area.
ALL of the hypnotized missing souls passed out after the captor's disappearance. Now, I can see how many souls have been captured by her. It's hard to count."Are you okay?" Hiro asked.I smiled a bit and held his hand."I do; it's all because of you. Thanks to you, we can kill the captor," I replied."Should I be thankful that I have energy like that? It's just attracting more enemies. I'm just putting your life in danger, Aya. I don't want it," he said."No-""Yeah, you might be the reason. So why not remove the necklace? I'm sure you know how to do it. You're indifferent from a regular human," Mune butted in."I'm just a human, Mune. I'm not what you think I am," Hiro replied."Stop it, bro. There's no point in fighting. Besides, we're the ones who are putting him and Yna in danger. Can't you see? Both of them are always on the verge of death. Hiro lost his life. I just gave up one of my tails for him. But
WHEN Mune stopped punching, I took Amaya and carried her with my arms again. While Yna and Mune are consoling each other, I flee. As a matter of fact, I have been giving them countless problems and will just leave with the casualties on, not even planning on fixing it. At least, before going away, I get to say what I wanted. As I was walking away from Yna and Mune, random realizations hit me one by one. One of them is about Amaya's body. The fact that she's still here, her body is tangible and visible, I think it's one thing I should be thanking. Maybe I was born a masochist. I know how cruel the almighty is, but thoughts about thanking the deity are obvious evidence that I'm a fool. It feels heavy physically and emotionally while I have been carrying Amaya's body which has no life until I reached the heart of the forest. I put her in the middle and closed my eyes. I meditated to get into the deepest part of my mind. Having no experience at all of how I could use the fox marble to b
VENUS, Hein, and Dylan locked me up inside the cave. I knew I could flee or even teleported, but I couldn't do it right now. They blocked all the possible ways of my escape. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. I don't have enough strength inside me. Looking at Amaya who suffered what she's meant to experience makes me want to blame myself continuously. How come she had to experience and face it alone without my presence? I know how painful it feels to face all the consequences alone. Is this the art of level of punishing one based on how heavy one mistake is?"I knew it," says Dylan. "He already knows.""What's the point of keeping it from me?" I replied bluntly. I closed my eyes, feeling all the energy build up around me. When I opened my eyes, just right after I opened my mouth, strong wind flew them all away from me— making a clear way for me to go out. A tiring body is all I have, and I used this to carry Amaya to a place I didn't know. Traveling with no direction, I guess. This
WALKING turns into running... and running turns into tears. It was the first time I finally felt the urge to cry. I feel like I'm not ready for what I'm about to face. But just waiting for her to show right before my eyes is an even harder job. I'm so tired of it, and I wanted to end it.This hope that I have been holding onto turns into a reality. A huge slap for Yna who keep on getting into my head, convincing me none could be true. "Hey, you wait for us!" Dylan called for me.There's an equal desire for Dylan and me to find Amaya. This must be it. No one can disappoint me now.Under the tree where no one lives, a tree that seems dead, the smell of Amaya gets stronger. The tears are now harder to stop from falling. Slowly, I walked towards the tree while focusing my eyes beneath the tree. I have to enter the little entrance to reach Amaya and that makes me anxious.Venus showed up. Probably, she finally sensed Amaya too.Just right before entering the little entrance, Hein held my
MOST of us had the same questions after seeing her teleported into a place we couldn't track. "Where did she go?"It's been a week now. But she's not showing us even her shadows, her smell, her voice, or her clothes. She didn't give us the hint or anything, she just left. Should I get mad at her? But what if, just what if, she's just waiting for me to find her?"We've done enough for today, Hiro. It's time to go home. You're not yet eating," says Yna. I looked at her coldly and gently nodded. But still, I continued walking, searching for her sense. I know I could find her, I know she's still there. No one would believe me, so instead of asking for their help, I just nodded. I always nodded and agreed with everything they say. Then afterward, I will continue looking at her— alone. Even if it means I have to crawl under the deepest cave, I would.Since the day Amaya left, I couldn't talk normally with anyone, not even with Yna. I have become cold-hearted, just like what they've accused
THE way he smile could creep even the worm who was just passing by. Everyone took stepped backward, clearly giving their obvious reaction because of his arrival.Inside a mansion, a dark aura surrounded the place. It's like there's a dark smoke that started to get its way in.Finn is not different when he showed up, he just became real. His real fang and monstrous side just came out."I warned you that I'm not yet done!" he shouted. His henchmen came out of his mouth— spitting black liquid that eventually became a whole different creature. He used them to become his protector and shield from their powers."What's the point of killing Hiro? Why are you so obsessed to kill him? Even if you successfully accomplish your plan, do you think Kagome will come back?!" snarled Venus. Her hands trembled but still tried so hard to hide it from him. It's kind of hard to pretend to be strong. Yet, Venus is holding on to the thought of believing in herself. That's the only key she knew to survive.F
"WHO IS THAT?" Amaya asks herself. Ruining the supposed to be "history" among the nine-tailed is like stomping on her reputation. Becoming happy and enjoying it— as it all pours inside her emotions is all she wanted. But this guy came, only to bring darker clouds with thunder rumbling on it— only to bring some dark news. But he didn't have the guts to finish his sentence. All he did is mumble and give threats with no solid plan. Yet, it's enough to make them worried. "Should we give our attention to him?" asks Hiro whose tails are now out but feels jelly. In just one look you will easily read him. Amaya knows, but she didn't tell. What's the reason for pointing out something that couldn't fix within ten seconds? Just to do the mocking? It's no use, and Amaya knows it very well. Amaya looked at him with worries that lies in between her eyes. She caressed his cheeks and rested his forehead on his. While doing so, her hand does the trick to send Finn away. It shocked Amaya to see her p
KAGOME shouted in anger. "He's a human but he seems like a nine-tailed. He has a lot of life!" Kagome stated as she went down to the ground and face Finn. "It doesn't matter right now. What's important now is you're here— we're together."Finn hugged Kagome. He couldn't contain the overflowing love and the bereavement he felt toward Kagome. It's either or both love and lust he felt. Immediately caressing her shoulder, and kissing her neck. Kagome's felt a bit off of what he was doing, she pushed him away disgustingly. "Come on, Finn, it's not important that we're together. It's not you who I wanted to be with.""And who? That Polo?!" says Finn. He shifted into a werewolf form of Nathan's body and gritted his teeth while he is also drooling. Disgusted Kagome pushed him away forcibly. She can't do it before, but she can now because her host is complete. Finn has gone insane. He grips Kagome's neck and lets his claws slide into her cheeks. Surely, it will create a scar on her face, m
"HOW COULD YOU DIE?! HOW COULD YOU?!" I shouted into Hiro's dead body, thinking as if he would answer my wailing call, my painful question. Running dry of words, all that's left are my tears and his cold body. I've been saying goodbye for the past few days without knowing I was doing it for my sake. Yelling, shaking his body, scratching my own body— I was in distress. Nothing left to do. It was the same pain I felt when Kira and Loki died."YOU!" Venus shouted at Olivia, who was still thinking about what I'd said earlier regarding her daughter."Is Yna okay?""YOU DARED TO ASK THAT?!""Stop acting as if it wasn't you who took out Kagome's heart! Stop acting as if you're not the one who has killed Hiro!" I snarled.Yelling isn't enough to show my anger, to deliver my message to her— no concrete actions are available to show it to them. Ugh, my heart hurts. My chest compresses so tight, my belly is moving so fast. I know what's next— it's our baby forcibly coming out. I wanted to ask
"ANGELINA!" Hiro shouted, pushing Yna away from me. He held me closer to him. Between his arms, he enveloped me. The way his voice raised scared me as well. Yna breathes heavily in an attempt to stop herself from shouting and doing something that could hurt me and irritate Hiro. I could've just stared at them, doing the conversation, saving me from humiliation. I could've let Hiro do the talking, and scolded Yna because of what she did that I don't even understand. Standing like a statue here won't do. Gently, I removed Hiro's arms wrapped around my shoulder. Facing Yna, I examined her. I looked around. "What did I do to him? Scratch his face? Slit his throat? Even cut his wrist? How did I do that when I'm here, unconscious, gaining back the energy I lost the last time I made a contact with the enemy?" I say, crossing my arms across my chest. I looked at Yna fiercely and examined her. "You don't have to know about it—" Hiro says, and I cut him into talking before the stupid repress
