We've been waiting a long time. My hands shake. My heart races. I don't understand any of this. I knew he's been acting weird ever since we found the tree which is called the Nematon. I don't know how any of this is possible. How he is a creature of fire, that can't be true. Can it?

"How long will this take?" I ask the man.

He knocks on the door of the box. Kenshin eye's open, but they're not human. They look orange like fire. I hear him growling like a dog. I was about to walk forward, but Megumi stops me and shakes her head. 

"Hello. Are you there Kenshin?" The man says to Kenshin.

"What do you want with me?" Kenshin's voice changed.

It's deeper and it sounds like he's growling. It sounds dog like. Like a dog barking. I

"Just to talk." The man says.

"You do not wish me to be killed?" The Hellhound asks.

"How would you know that?" The man asks.

"You smell of blood. I have seen your hunts. I have seen you kill every last one of my kind." The Hellhound says.

"What does Kenshin have anything to do with you?" I ask walking forward.

He turns to me.

"Himuri Kenshin is dead." The Hellhound says.

I stop. My eyes widen.

"When did he die?" Megumi asks.

"When I was born." The Hellhound growls.
