    Summary

    Wolf draws his sword.

    It is futile, but there is nothing else to do.  The path that led them all here is littered with his failures, and there is nowhere to go but forward.  Kusabimaru glints in the moonlight.  It isn’t something he should call his own.  It is old, and beautiful— a weapon that belongs in Hirata hands.

    There are none of those left, save Kuro’s, and it is Wolf’s duty to wield it for him.  His duty to raise it, even against the lord of Ashina.

    Genichiro has a stillness about him that sets Wolf alight.  He is calm.  Untroubled.  It does not matter that Wolf has come to take Kuro back from him.  Nothing will change unless he wills it so; not Ashina.

    Not this.

    Wolf cannot stand against him, but he doesn’t know how to stop.  There is no place in him for yielding, no room to admit defeat.  Genichiro is merciless.  Genichiro is strong.  There is a purity to being destroyed so thoroughly.  A clarity to such indisputable loss.

    Oh, Wolf thinks, his arm arcing through the air with blood trailing it like silk.  

    I want him.
