At a wild forest, near Stone Mountain.
Umi watched silently as Black ran past a tree where she has been watching.
Her eyes followed his movements and how he panted and drank a mouthful of water at a small lake.
He's exhausted.
And still trembling from fright.
Umi smiled. This is what she wanted to see. A tough guy slowly crumbling to pieces mentally. It is easier to crack a person down when he is this weak and unprepared.
When the leader of the Black Wolves finally calmed down and decided to stop the girl walked out from the shadows. The fox mask on her creating an eerie picture.
Black was surprised to see someone following him and after seeing the person he was more frightened than before.
How come a member of the kitsune gang followed him?
Prime promised that she wouldn't kill him! And now, is she going to break it?!
"Ha!" He laughed, "Your leader's shamelesness is beyond my imagination! Did she regret letting me run so she sent you to kill me?!"
"I'm telling you even if I die I will hunt all of you and drag you down with me! My ghost won't rest in peace!"
Umi ignored his rant. She just gave him a small mocking smile.
"What are you smiling at?!"
"Black..." She started, "I am not here to kill you, in fact, I am here to help you."
The guy laughed at him. Does she think he's a five year old child?
He is not that gullible to believe her words. He knows the might of the Kitsune gang, they are bloodthirsty and vicious. When they set their sight on their prey they wouldn't let go.
How could he forget that.
Nobody was ever spared when Prime decided on her target and that target was his gang. He won't live for long.
"Don't you want revenge?" Umi asked, her tone becoming gentle and sweet. "Go back to the Oni. Koan will help you. He will make you stronger that you can fight back when you crossed path with Prime again."
Black squinted his eyes. The doubt in his heart is slowly dissipating, yet no matter how much he thinks he can't find the answer why a kitsune member would help him.
Is it a trap?
"Do you think I believe you? I am not that dumb." He spat.
Umi raised her hand, slowly caressing the mask that's hiding her face.
"You will believe me."
She removed the mask, revealing the identity behind it.
