Mana: Before The Rise 15 Sakura In The Shadows 12

After a while a woman appeared in a black Kimono. A Familiar face of the women who ruined Ise's life.

Rachel's gaze grew instinctively cold and chilling.

"Ise" Her voice was nervous and trembling and her eyes.

Rachel felt disgusted as she looked at the women and then remember her own mother. And it grew even more once the women started to talk about Jimbe, that he didn't try to hurt her and what she did was wrong.

"Do you really want me to believe that" Rachel said from her chair. "That man is a pig, a disgusting Pig full of greed, who lied to get his way, who cheated to get his way"

"Jimbe is not like that" She defended

"NO, he is and you know very well" Rachel was raged but kept her tone in check "What Kind man throughs his own child into a pond"

"What?" Ise mother said in surprise.

"You think I didn't know; I knew in fact I was there I saw it…. Just as I saw you turn around to leave your baby for dead." Rachel's solemn face then brightened "Mother I am to be a Moon bride you know, so what would happen of I told the prince all of what I knew" Rachel stood up.

Ise's mothers face went pale "You cannot…. You would not…" her hands tried to hold hers pleadingly. But Rachel brushed them off.

"Why Not? My father was murdered along with my cousin. My house was destroyed, along with my future and everything I ever loved."

"What about me? What about your brothers? You have three brothers Ise, they are your family to. "

"They'll survive as I have, where you pushed me to" Rachel mocked "You have nerve to talk about Love? What about my father? Your love got you to sleep with another man for my father's blood even turned cold."

"Ise, Please…" The women was in tears.

"And even today" Rachel folded her arms "Your going to tell Jimbe right, he'll try to kill me again just like before….Tell him I dare him-"

"Big Sister that was amazing" Rachel's voice was cut of by the sound of an excited little boy who throw himself into her arms.

"Akiyo…" Rachel couldn't help but catch the boy who often paid no attention to his surroundings.

"Sorry, I couldn't control him" Riyo said from behind before noticing the women whose expression went to dead shock at Akiyo.

Rachel looked back at the Women; Akiyo quieted down as he saw that his big sister's gaze. "I was there, and the only one there. Do you think I am so cold hearted to let a baby die" Rachel said as she walked out with Riyo and Akiyo.

"Big Sister did that person make you made?" he asked when they were far enough and Rachel had set him down walked back with his hand.

"Yes, she made your big sister so made that she couldn't forgive her"

Akiyo frowned but then asked no more. Riyo stayed quite and looked somewhat said. Rachel stopped and squatted as she pulled Akiyo into a tight embrace before kissing him on his forehead.

"Your going to be a good boy for Big Sister Riyo yes."

"Yes." He said

Rachel nodded her head and turned her head to Riyo. She watched them hop back onto the carriage and waved goodbye. She turned to see the Moon guards. Rachel didn't even have to ask she already knew that she won, the princes favor and Was Chosen as the moon Bride.

She was led to a beautiful little chamber; she was to wait for the moon prince to arrive. The Moon guards where just outside they where here to protect her. She stayed calm, as she heard the slaughter of guards all the way to her chamber.

Ise's Mother had told him and sent Jimbe after her.

Mission: Deal with Sakamoto Jimbe

She saw Jimbe burst through the door from her mirror and She stood up slowly, facing him directly.

"You couldn't help yourself" Rachel said to him.

He towards about to say something savagely but he abruptly stopped his eyes widen in shock.

Rachel smiled devilishly as she giggled and looked up at the ceiling. Jimbe followed her gaze strangely he could move his head. He paled at the rapidly falling chandelier that crushed him.

He was completely incapacitated by the chandelier; he was still alive. Rachel couldn't help but laugh.

He tried to say something but only blood came out his mouth. "Thank you for making this so easy" Rachel said "Both you and Mother are so predictable. I knew you would come after me the moment you heard I was going to tell the moon prince your crimes. You think I didn't have any way to deal with you, does what happened the first leave your silly little head."

Rachel watched this man once c.o.c.ky eyes grew fearful.

"You weren't going to escape, and you are going to be charged with not only killing moon guards but the Moon bride as well and then they will dig up your crimes as well. Branded a Traitor while my father's crimes will be lifted." Rachel said as she backed away and disappeared into the shadows.

Rachel slipped out the back, her shadows aloud her to see the moon prince's sad gaze. His mother on the other hand was staring into the nothingness.

Right now, she had never felt so free.

"Huh?" Rachel thought as she walked down the stone steps.

"Where are you going?" She heard the familiar voice making her turn her head in shock. She didn't think as in that moment she ran into the woods away from the voice. Using the shadows to hide herself amongst the darkness.

It took a moment when she stopped by a pond and realized something 'Why am I running?' she wondered turning around only to see Tsiyi pulling her into an embrace.

"Got you" he whispered; Rachel was stunned but this time she honestly had no reason to reject him now. She cupped his face and pressed her lips against his.

"You didn't leave, Why?" Rachel whispered.

"I said I would not leave you behind"

Rachel's eyes grew teary

.

Transfer will activate in One Minute

'Transfer' she thought 'Am I leaving? Or is it something else?' Rachel thought before her expression changed.

"I saw you dance…Ray, It was beautiful."

"Thank-"

Transfer has been activated.

Bang, was what went of inside her as she trembled. She understood this time she was leaving, she was really leaving, A sobbed nearly broke out.

"Ray?" Tsiyi said in panic when he has abruptly pushed away.

"Tsiyi, will you protect Riyo and Akiyo for me. I don't think I will be able to" Rachel began to say as she held herself, she was disappearing. No more like the world was collapsing before her, she gave Tsiyi a meaningful look before everything went dark.

Tsiyi looked at the spot where Ise disappeared he felt a stab in his chest and then something bottles up explode. The person he loved disappeared before his very eyes and he couldn't do a thing about it, he collapsed seemingly not knowing what to do.

Everything just felt Numb.
