 Taisen was far from the woods and out of reach of sight of Kenshin, carrying the still unconscious girl in his arms and ran to the nearby town of camp: Inuyama. As he ran, the girl he lost more and more blood and that was the real reason she did not wake up.

 Kenshin ran as dog followed the trail of blood from the girl, whose current carrying neck lay the ground covered by leaves of trees. That chain was a clear signal that the girl's life was the life by a thread. He howled at the moon, a sad howl expressing pain while searching for the girl loved.
 When he finally found the girl lying on the grass of Inuyama Castle Gardens, his clothes stained with blood. Overcome with anger, the boy advanced on the leopard still in dog form, but he was interrupted by the arrival of another dog that was bigger and had skin white as snow and bit his left arm of the person who approached to gray dog ​​attack.

 Kenshin immediately recognize who was that white dog and continued to invest against Taisen, who was high up in a tree watching the two dogs snarling at him fiercely. Grinned and drew his dagger he was carrying, striking a scratch on the gray dog, which fell to the ground and howled in pain. While distracting to see the dog dying, he forgot the other animal white, that atinguiu fast as lightning and growling horribly, showing rows of white teeth, sharp and gigantic.
 But before the dog could do something against the leopard, the vampire, who had his arm broken and bleeding double what Yume bleeding, launched his own body to protect Taisen death when the canine animal would give a mortal attack
. Kyrena fell a few feet from where Kenshin was already in the original form, pale from bleed too.
- Kyrena! - Jaguar screamed and ran away to see the state of his ally. - You must not die, not now.
- Fine by me ... Before my body dies completely, I want you to know that I did not agree with me join you to separate Yume and Kenshin. I agreed to try to show you what I really feel for you, but I think it did not go as I wanted ... Sorry.

 Taisen grabbed the vampire in his arms and turned to Kenshin.
- It is not over here, I want you to know that, Kenshin Arioto. - Then looked at the fierce and white dog continued - this fight is not just about him, but you also, who came in my way.
