The White Wolf (3) and the Hero of Life

Chapter 8 - A Lie That Breaks a Heart [PART 1]

Jirou lay in his cage shaking.

"Otou-chan... Otou-chan, I'm scared!" Jirou cried. Osamu watched as the younger boy was shaking in his cage.

"Ne, we'll get of this lab!" he tried to cheer him up.

David looked up at the older teen, tears staining his face. "I wanna go! I'm scared..."

Osamu looked caringly at the scared cyan-haired boy.

Meanwhile, Yoshirou was still going with Daisuke, when they heard laughing. The two men looked up and saw the wolves in the trees. In fact, some wolves stood on two legs.

"Yoshirou-kun, on the count of three, run." Daisuke murmured.

Yoshirou nodded.

"Ichi..." The wolves growled and smiled.

"Ni..." Yoshirou gulped.

"SAN!" Daisuke and Yoshirou ran as fast as they possibly could, but the wolves were close behind.

"You're not getting away!" the leader wolf laughed.

One of the wolves jumped into the air and pinned Yoshirou down. "YOSHIROU!" yelled Daisuke.

Yoshirou looked up as the wolves came around him. One of the wolves on two legs pulled a rope out and tied the man's arms together. Luckily, Daisuke got up to them and punched the wolf off the man, but was soon in trouble himself.

"You'll both coming with us." the wolves led the men away.

-

Outside the lab, the team's captain spoke to the gang.

"The others are in there. Somehow, we need to get them out."

Kairu flapped his wings. "I don't know how, though."

Ryuuichirou yawned. "I agree with Kyle."

Hiroto sighed, then smirked. "Sesshoumaru-san, you can go in there. Or else, we would need the Hero of Life, the man who brought Osamu-kun back."

"How's that going to work?" Ryuuichirou asked.

Hiroto continued. "He brings people back... and nobody can see the ghost."

"He brought Osamu-san back and we can see HIM." Kairu spluttered.

"Yeah, good one. I didn't think of that point..." Hiroto sweatdropped.

-

Jirou cried even more in his cage, and Osamu watched him. They then heard the door open. "Sakuma-kun, stop crying, please! I need you too!" Osamu begged the younger teen.

Kenzaki strolled over to Jirou's cage. "We're gonna do your testing early."

Osamu turned into his bat form. "NOT SO FAST!"

"You baka!" Kenzaki was surprised, but soon grinned evilly. "Did you honestly think you could get past me?!" he laughed and turned into his snake form.

"SAKUMA, RUN!" Osamu called. Jirou ran, but was caught in Kenzaki's coils.

"LET THE CHILD GO, KENZAKI!"

-

In the next room, Fuusuke heard the yelling. "Shirou-kun, wake up! I hear someone..."

Shirou gulped. "Who do you think it is?"

Fuusuke listened some more. "Osamu-kun... and Kenzaki-san... they must be fighting."

-

Haruya saw the door was open, so he ran out of it. "Reina-chan, we made it! Keep your head up, girl."

Reina looked down, then back at Haruya. "Where are we?"

"Out of harm's way, for now." he smiled.

"You think you can get away?" Kageyama stood proudly in front of them. Haruya held Reina close.

"You monster! Let us go!" Reina cried.

Kageyama laughed. "Before long, you will be working for us!"

Haruya growled. "That's funny - we saved Japan more times than you destroyed it! And that's only once!" Kageyama grabbed the two teens.

-

The wolves brought the two men inside the lab.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Sakuma Yoshirou... and Endou Daisuke, the Hero of Life." Garshield welcomed.

"WHERE'S MY SON?!!" Yoshirou raged.

"He's being tested on." smirked Garshield.

Jirou watched the fight between Kenzaki and Osamu. Osamu turned back into a human because he couldn't keep the transformation up – he had run out of power - but then was caught in Kenzaki's coils as well.

"Two tests at once. This should be fun!" Kenzaki took the boys to Garshield.

Garshield stated to Yoshirou. "The father who lied to his son."

Daisuke looked at Garshield. "Yoshirou-kun's child was only young; he's going to tell him the truth."

"Ne, Garshield-kun~!" Kenzaki sang and held Osamu and Jirou in his coils.

"OTOU-CHAN!" Jirou wailed.

"JI-CHAN!" Yoshirou cried.

"Two more tried to get out." Kageyama held onto Reina and Haruya.

"REINA-CHAN!"

Reina looked up in shock of the noise to her ears. "O-Osa-chan... Endou-san..."

Garshield smiled. "Now we have some more people! Sakuma-kun, how about you tell your son the truth?"

"The truth?! What truth?" Jirou asked his father.

Yoshirou turned to Daisuke who nodded. "The truth is, Ji-chan, your mother never died of a heart attack. Actually, she was run over by a car..." he let some tears out.

Jirou felt his heart sink. "YOU LIED TO ME FOR ALL THESE YEARS!" he screamed.

"I HAD TO, SON!" Yoshirou answered.
