Red String Of Fate Part 2

[ Thunder Mist Mountains, Thunder Sakura Gardens ]

" This is all your fault... "

" I should've eaten you during our first met. " Yakujin says as she choked Shiro further.

" It's time to right this mistake... "

" I've had enough of this! " Yakujin says, opening her mouth, preparing to swallow Shiro as she can't take it anymore.

" Mas...ter... " Shiro cries, for his neck is choked so hard by Yakujin's tail.

" Cry more child, enjoy it till your last... " Yakujin says while opening her mouth.

" For this is enough! " Yakujin says as she can't take the shame of her being destined by the one she should eat in the first place.

" I become so strong for ages, to become the top of everyone. "

" And now, you're telling me that I'm destined to be with you, a lowly sacrifice whose only specialty is his tasty blood!? " Yakujin asks as she sheds tears for a bit.

" Mas... ter... " Shiro cries, the tail choke hurts him.

" Master Yakujin, do not eat him...! " Akafushi calls her.

" Since you were tied by this string, killing him will give you- "

" I don't care for the 'Penalty'! " Yakujin says while glaring at Shiro.

" I don't care... "

" For this mess had been annoying me for a while, it annoys me more than any mess I've ever faced. "

" Whether fate itself is joking with me, or destiny is pranking me with a shameful fate for my very prideful existence...? "

" No, I refuse! "

" I will never allow this to happen to me, never! "

" I'm preventing it now! " Yakujin then approached her tail to make Shiro enter her mouth.

" Master Yakujin, no! " Akafushi screams as she sees the innocently crying for his pain, a boy who literally made this by accident out of his desire.

" Master... Yaku... " Shiro says while crying, he cries so hard, as the red string in his hand then glows, summoning so many strings and...

" Gah! " Yakujin screams as many red strings come out from nowhere, tying her, and making her lose her grasp over Shiro.

" LET ME GO! " Yakujin says as the strings bind her, giving her a penalty.

" Let me go, 'Red Strings of Fate'! "

" I have to eat that child! " Yakujin says as Shiro is already freed from her grasp.

" Shiro... " Akafushi approached the boy as he scoffs.

" Master Yaku... " Shiro grunts as he cries.

" Master Yaku, you evil, why did you do this to me!? " Shiro shouts in anger while crying to Yakujin, who is currently tied by the 'Red Strings of Fate', receiving its penalty for trying to murder her destined other.

" You dare shout at me, boy... "

" I dare! " Shiro shouts louder in front of Yakujin and Akafushi.

" This is enough, Master Yakujin! " Shiro says as he backs them all.

" Shiro... " Akafushi calls him.

" Where are you going, brat!? " Yakujin calls him in her rage.

" How dare you turn back on me!? " Yakujin asks him as Shiro turns back on her, Shiro then stops as he picks up something from his clothes, a match.

" Shiro, what are you- " Akafushi sees it as Shiro turns the match on, throwing it onto the grown, It begins to burn the flowers there as Shiro runs from them, crying hard.

" Shiro! " Akafushi calls him, but she sees Yakujin still busy getting tied with the strings as her penalty.

" YOU BASTARD, HOW DARE YOU BURN MY FOREST!!!? "

" DON'T RUN, SHIRO! "

" I'LL COME FOR YOU, I'LL MAKE SURE TO HURT YOU MORE THAN BEFORE FOR THIS! "

" RAH! " Yakujin angrily shouts as Shiro runs away, still tied by the red strings which made her struggle so hard as if the red strings' spread is like an unswimmable sea.

( Meanwhile. )

" *Pant* *Pant* " Shiro pants as he runs for his life, he runs down towards the very hills of the Thunder Mist Mountains.

As he runs down with his small feet, he remembers how long he has been preparing to craft that match.

The match was first crafted after his torture when he first made contact with Azi Dahaka's Relic in Yakujin's Lair Treasure Room.

Using every material he deemed could lit a fire since he was responsible for cleaning and wiping every one of Yakujin's belongings. He scoured everything, every remnant of things or dirt after the cleaning, he crafted a match, and a trigger made from the contents he assembled over his brief time.

At that time, during his secret plot, as he was saddened after the beating despite Yakujin's decision and effort to console him, resorting to her talented affection giving under the Sakura Trees, deep down, Shiro's heart already held some hatred, built up in secret after Yakujin's beatings to him.

" Back then, I thought Master Yaku really meant it when she wanted me to come with her... " Shiro remembers the moment back in the Storm Sakura Forest Entrance.

( Flashback. )

[ Storm Sakura Forest Entrance ]

" Come with me, dear... "

" You'll be with me, from now on. "

...

" I remember those words, I thought the Chimera Master of these Mountains, Yakujin would accept me and give me a whole new life... "

" But it seems Master really hates me, right after she shows me care for some time. " Shiro says, remembering her kiss and hug for some time, even now, his heart is still tempted to return, despite him knowing what will hit him if he decides to return.

" No, I must not! "

" I can't no longer go back! " Shiro says as he runs, his feet bleed as he has to run among the mountains' rocks.

* Thunder crackles. *

Hearing that, Shiro hides beneath the nearby trees, realizing that Yakujin might've been freed from the Red String's bindings.

" *Pant* *Pant* " Shiro tries to control his breath, he is startled as he hears the cracking thunder in the afternoon, realizing that Yakujin is already in pursuit.

Shiro pants but tries to calm it, he tries to be silent as well as he can while covering himself behind the tree.

"( What do I do? What do I do? )" Shiro panics.

"( Should I stay hidden or run? )" Shiro asks himself, realizing that as the thunder roars, it means Yakujin has quickly come to his location.

"( Please don't come, please don't come... )" Shiro shivers, but suddenly.

" Gyah! " a hand pulls him from behind, pulling him from his hiding spot as Yakujin comes on top of them.

" *Sniff* *Sniff*,Where are you? " Yakujin says as she lands on the ground after jumping from above, tracking Shiro by sniffing his Special kind of scent.
