Tsukune swung his sword around and the flames surrounding them had disappeared. Tsukune swung his sword at the woman, she was surprised so she barely dodged the blade. She turned around as fast as she could but too late Tsukune had let his blade fall into the woman's head.

Tsukune pulled his blade out of her head and kicked her body to the ground as it caught on fire. "What the hell!" Tsukune yelled as he fell to his knees. Moka had began to walk towards Tsukune to comfort him, before she could get close Balthazar and Mizore had already gotten to his side and helped him to his feet. Moka clenched her fist there were still enemies around them.

Moka let some of her vampire power out and went crazy. She ran from one to another ripping apart man after man killing and cutting limbs off. Tsukune watched as Moka killed men as if they were just toys, this was the first time he had watched her so easily kill. When she had finished the last one off she came back, she didn't have a drop of blood on her.

"We need to leave, this was a carefully set up trap with too many men." Balthazar said as he put his sword away. Tsukune did the same putting his sword away and looking at his skin. He didn't have any burns on him, it was like the fire never existed in the first place.

"Leave the horses, we will continue on foot until we get to another town they need to lose our trail." Tsukune didn't know how they found him but he wasn't going to die until he had the man who took Kokoa's life away in his hands. His neck more specifically.

Anton had managed to get an army behind him, he had mages and some yokai joined him on his quest to kill the vampire. They had made camp in the same forest that Tsukune had used as a camp, Kokoa was sitting on her horse and waiting. She didn't care about what these people wanted she didn't care about Anton, the only thing she wanted was to kill moka and save Tsukune.

Anton was also on his horse and walking along side his horse, they were headed to the nearest town. There mage had failed and was found only as ashes left. Everyone was silent looking at the dead bodies that were torn to pieces, blood covered trees and plants.

"She really doesn't have any mercy, was she like that with you and your lover?" Anton asked provoking Kokoa. She looked at him, they both stared at each other for a moment neither liked the other and it was clear, but they both needed each other.

"When the time comes just stay out of my way!" Kokoa said as she made her house continue walking past all the bloodied bodies. Kokoa felt sick to her stomach she wasn't a killer, this sight was disgusting but she would do anything to save Tsukune.

He had saved her more times then she could count, he was her everything. A soldier ran up to Anton and he was whispering in his ear, "Oh ms, looks like it's your turn to do something." Anton said as he began to laugh. Kokoa didn't care she was ready to end this mess and start her life with Tsukune finally.

Tsukune fell to the ground, he was beaten and bruised. He looked up to the one who had beaten him, Kokoa stood at the door way. "Slave, get in here and teach him that i will do what i want" The man who had beaten Tsukune said as he walked away from the both of them.

Kokoa ran over to Tsukune and helped him to his feet, "Are you okay, it looked like it hurt." Kokoa put her hand on Tsukune's face. He grabbed her hand and held onto it, "Not as bad as you think!" Tsukune said as he stood up and dusted himself off. Tsukune held his hand to his side, it wasn't the first time he had gotten beaten from taking the blame for her.

Kokoa put Tsukune's arm over her shoulder, tears began to fall down her face. Tsukune stopped walking and wiped tears away from her face, "I'm sorry." Kokoa said as she wrapped her arms around Tsukune, "I promise i'll do better i'll do whatever it takes so please don't get hurt again!" Tears were beginning to soak Tsukune's tattered shirt.

"Hey, come on are you kidding the man is suppose to protect his woman right?" Tsukune wrapped his arms around Kokoa as well. "Don't worry one day we will be free and i'll marry you and we will have fifty kids what do you say!" Tsukune said playfully

Kokoa blushed and pushed away from Tsukune, "Idiot fifty is too much!" She began to chase Tsukune around. They had the worst of lives but that wasn't going to stop their dreaming.

Tsukune had managed to get a couple rooms for the night at a tavern everyone was on alert no since they were either being followed or at least chased. Tsukune looked out the window of his room, everyone was taking shifts and it was Mizore's turn so everyone else was meant to get some sleep.

With all that's happened he couldn't sleep, the reflection in the window wasn't Tsukune. He couldn't see the slave who once served without a second thought, now he's killing for the one he loved. Tsukune looked at his hands, he could still feel the cuts and scars that were put there from slavery.

Killing Kokoa though, Tsukune slammed his hands on the wall next to the window, his eyes began to water. The window cracked from the force of Tsukune's power, "Are you okay?" Tsukune turned around, Moka had walked into his room without making a noise.

"I'm okay actually. Shouldn't you be getting some sleep?" Tsukune asked walking over to her. Moka pushed Tsukune against the wall next to the window, "Ms. Akashiy- Moka.. " Moka put her hands against Tsukune's chest. Tsukune was hesitant but wrapped his arms around her. "Thank you for bringing me back from the place i was."

Moka backed away from Tsukune, "You are a good person Tsukune i just didn't want to see you like that." Moka walked over and sat on Tsukune's bed, It was weird and Tsukune couldn't explain it but he could see how beautiful she was even though all of this madness was happening he could still see her beauty.

Tsukune walked closer to Moka, In an instant blood covered Moka. Tsukune looked down and an arrow was sticking out of his chest, Tsukune slowly turned around looking out the window. Darkness began to surround his eyes as he fell to the ground, "TSUKUNE!" Moka's voice carried her power and devastation.

Mizore was sitting outside, she was half asleep and could barely keep her eyes open. The sound of men walking closer to her began to wake her up but it was too late she had a knife to her throat. "Now there calm down miss, come with me and my men and there won't be any blood spilt." Anton said as he dug the knife into Mizore's throat a little just to show her he was serious.

MIzore stood up and followed as she was told, Anton's men surrounded the Inn. Anton walked into the Inn with Mizore in front of him and two other men at his side, "Ahh the infamous Balthazar, surprising you would be here!" Anton yelled with a smile on his face. Anton was sitting in the lobby and heard the commotion outside and had gotten ready, "Now let's see, do you think you can kill me before i slit her throat?"

Balthazar had his sword ready to kill, "Do it!" Mizore yelled as she made ice spikes surrounded her pushing Anton away from her. Balthazar rushed using his yokai strength kill the two men with Anton first, slash after slash he took them out quickly. Anton drew his sword, Balthazar rushed and attacked using all his strength their swords clashed throwing sparks everywhere.

"You are amazing dark elf, but it's over now!" Anton's sword began to change color, it became black and with every swing it was destroying Balthazar's sword little by little. Balthazar's sword fell to the ground, "You should have joined me, it would have been a lot easier that way!" Anton yelled as he plunged his sword into Balthazar's chest.

Kokoa stood a distance away from the Inn, she aimed her bow at the inn. She had the only arrow that could kill Moka ready to go. She could see Moka in a window but there was someone else in the room with her that she couldn't see, "This is is for everything you've done to me and Tsukune, you will die right here!" Kokoa yelled as she let go of her arrow. She watched as her arrow hit the man in the room, that was it the only chance she had right there.

The man turned around looking out the window, Kokoa dropped her bow. She fell to her knees as she watched Tsukune fall to the ground, her arrow piercing his chest..
