( Hours Earlier, before Yakujin chase Shiro and fight Kiba-Tora. )*
Yakujin is still trying to free herself from the 'Red Strings of Fate's penalty as she tries to kill Shiro.
" What the hell, I just want to bite him!? " Yakujin asks while still trying to free herself from the sea of Red Strings as the very item summons many of it's threads.
" Master Yakujin! " Akafushi calls out to Yakujin, but suddenly she realized for her nose sniffs the increasing output of energy.
" It couldn't be... " Akafushi says as she sees the sea of Red Strings slowly inflates like an inflating ballon.
[ Special Attack: Shroud of the Skies, Invisible Force Strike ]
" Hraah! " Yakujin explodes it all using her power.
" That's it, I've had enough! "
" I'm killing that boy now, Akafushi! " Yakujin shouts but then.
[ Skill: Bloodcraft ]
[ Blood Wall ]
" What's the meaning of this? " Yakujin asks Akafushi as she creates the wall using her Blood.
" Master, you will not chase him! " Akafushi says as she also summons her insect army.
" Are you kidding, Akafushi? " Yakujin sees it and felt pissed, also betrayed.
" Now you and your army are taking the boy's side!? " Yakujin yells as well as her Thunder that yells the sky with it's radiance.
" Yes, Master... " Akafushi says while remembering Shiro's face.
" You had been crude to him, I can't stand it anymore, I... " Akafushi's face began to go red as she also looked at the Red String thread tied on her fingers and pinky.
Yakujin sees her red face, realizing that Akafushi is flustered.
" What the hell...? " Yakujin calms down, she began to look at Akafushi's face closer, confused as her sight sees this.
" Akafushi, you... "
" You had..., feelings... "
" For the boy...? " Yakujin asks as she sees Akafushi's face.
" Master. "
" Before you chase Shiro, I like to... "
" Make a 'Vow', with you... " Akafushi says to Yakujin.
...
( Back to the present. )
" Akafushi, wants you to 'forgive' me? " Shiro asks Yakujin as the human Kitsune Chimera now holds him by her hand, hugging her as he picks him up.
" Yes... "
" Thanks to her, your life is saved, my dear, fufufu... " Yakujin chuckles with a scary tone.
" Even now, I still wonder why Akafushi is so caring towards you more than she could've ever done to me... " Yakujin tells Shiro.
" Do you happen to know it, Shiro? " Yakujin asks while closing her head towards Shiro's head.
Their heads began to rub as Yakujin walked Shiro into a nearby lake.
" A lake? " Shiro asks as Yakujin immediately used [Thundercloud Strike], drawing lightning from the skies to shock every creatures resided on the lake, killing it immediately in a flash as their corpses floats.
" Gii! " Shiro shivers as Yakujin who still hugged him then comes down into the water.
" Master Yaku... " Shiro calls Yakujin as he sees her.
Seeing Shiro, Yakujin rubs his hair with her hand and smiles.
" This 'Humanization Form'... "
" I've never thought to attain this before in early years. " Yakujin says to Shiro suddenly while patting him as the two submerged themselves in the water.
" Master Yakujin? "
" My Roots, the Kitsune... "
" It is said that a Kitsune would only reach human form when they already had three tails. "
" For me, it should've been the next ten or twenty years. "
" But... " Yakujin says as she then summons her tails in her human form, she shows that she had three tails now.
" Wow... " Shiro's in awe.
" This is after my fight with Kiba-Tora, Shiro... "
" A fight that happened when I searched for you in anger... " Yakujin smirks.
" Which made me wonder, everytime that you make trouble, good things always happens towards me. " Yakujin says.
" It may come as trouble at first, but as I claimed it's rewards, it seems it made me more than what I've thought before. "
" Even Akafushi mentions this before, the 'Vow'... " Yakujin says while pouring water on Shiro's body, she opened Shiro's clothes so the water wet his dirty body.
" Master Yakujin, why are you opening my clothes? " Shiro asks as Yakujin who still put her hands on him could only smile and wink to his eyes.
" I am tired and want to ease some tension. "
" Speaking of 'easing tension' " Akafushi hugs Shiro and proceeds to smooch his forehead in the lake, both of them, as they had time after all that happens.
...
( Meanwhile. )
[ Yakujin's Lair. ]
" It seems Master Yakujin had made herself in ease... " Akafushi sighs as a person comes behind him.
" Well, you made the right choice to make the 'Vow' with her. " said the person, who is the Black Merchant who comes behind her.
" Speaking of the 'Vow', was it a 'Binding Vow' you just did on her, using blood ability, plus some 'magic'~. " Black Merchant asks which Akafushi sighs as she sees him.
" Have you been listening all this time? " she asks while Black Merchant could only give her his smiling expression.
" I do, I always have. "
...
( Years Later. )
( Hours Earlier, before Yakujin chase Shiro and fight Kiba-Tora. )
" Akafushi, what's this Binding Vow you're gonna do? " Yakujin asks as Akafushi pulls out the Potion from her clothes pocket.
" It's simple. "
" Before you catch Shiro, I just want you to drink this before doing so. " Akafushi tells her.
" What actually is that? " Yakujin asks while seeing it.
* Akafushi chuckles. *
" Do not worry, Master... "
" You won't be the only one drinking this, me too also. "
" I hope this would ease your tension towards Shiro as I really wanted to save the boy. "
" Since the 'Red String' also tied you with him? " Yakujin asks as she sees Akafushi's tied hand and pinky too, just like her.
" Of course, after all, I kinda need a partner in life after years serving your family, Master... "
" So, for my and your sake... "
" I want to make a 'Binding Vow' for us to drink this before we pursue Shiro. "
" What do you say, Master Yakujin? " Akafushi threatens which made Yakujin iritated.
" Tch, Akafushi, you... "
* Akafushi chuckles as she hears it. *
...
( Back to the present. )
[ In the lake. ]
" Master Yakujin, you're telling me that you forgive me because of... Sister Akafushi? " Shiro asks while still shivering, even though Yakujin already hugged and pat him in her current human form.
" ~Are you still not convinced?~ " Yakujin hugs Shiro close to her chest, their skin both touches each other as they did it within the waters.
" My dear boy *smooch* "
" Do you realized how Akafushi cares for you so much, even before that 'Red String of Fate' thing we did earlier...? " Yakujin asks Shiro.
" Akafushi had always served me and my family for a long time, perhaps she always wanted to have a life partner with her aside from serving us.
" But still, as fate destined us, she now shares the same 'Fated One' as her dear Master~ " Yakujin while licking Shiro.
" Don't you think that will make her care more for you? hmm~ " Yakujin says to him as she did it more to him, trying to seduce him using her Kitsune Race's Racial Talents, Seduction.
" Master *whimpers* " Shiro is so tickled as Yakujin affects him so great, she began to pull him into the water, hoping to continue it underneath with the young boy, as she gives him an experience he will never forget.
* Both of them are now under the lake's water. *
