I felt anger again. Anger at Kyuubi for putting up the barrier. Anger at me for not protecting Maki. Anger at the two grandfathers that wished to spill each other's blood. Angery at the entire world that seemed to frown on what I had come to love.
Suddenly I felt Ryusemi awaken in my head. He seemed irritated for some reason. I did not let Kyuu hear what I was thinking.
"Hachimata?" Ryusemi asked, "You're spilling your own chakra."
"Ryusssssemi," I hissed grabbing him off my neck, "Ryusssemi I know the price! And I want in that barrier!"
"Ooooh an angry Hachimata! Who are you going to forget now?"
"I don't need chakra! I need you asssss a sssssword!"
"Aw Hachimata is not fun....fine I will do as you ask lord Hachimata."
"Ryusemi," I said aloud this time my hands moving inbetween the hold I had on the sword, "Art of the Dragon Caster Sword! Teteresssss sssslash!"
I make a quick strike on the barrier and it shattered to bits. Kyuu-kun was left staring at me as I ran in. I had to get to Maki! I had to get to her! Maki!
"Hachimata!" Kyuubi yelled at me, "Hachi! Come back! What are you going to do?"
"Kyuu you dork!" I laughed, "I'm gonna ssssave my woman!"
"Hachimata.....called me a dork?" were the last words I heard Kyuubi say as I entered the area.
