The one holding her was a masked ninja, covering most of his face. He looked down at her, sadness in the one eye that could be seen. He looked at James and nodded. The one who killed Megumi's father looked around, seeing his men taken out. He looked back and saw the three, then smiled. "It looks like I acted too hastily...you did come for him..." Megumi was shaking, her eyes changing into gold and wolf like. The masked ninja moved back, resting a hand on James's shoulder. Without a word he pulled James back gently, Megumi walked towards the man and said "You made a huge mistake...that man was all that stood between me and the darkness inside..." She held up a hand and waved it. A huge shadow leapt up and wrapped around the man, Megumi walking right up to him. "You wanted to see what I can do? Let me show you first hand!" She yelled and suddenly the charka cloak appeared in a burst of energy and wrapped around her. She started to change and shift, becoming a mix of human and her inner spirit creature. The man stared and tried to get away but Megumi howled and jumped at him, blood spraying everywhere. It was over in a moment, the remains of the man in piece. Megumi was panting, the cloak fading and she soon was back to normal, soaked in blood. She turned to her father and ran to his side, cutting him from the chair and checking his pulse. Then her head lowered as tears fell and she hugged him to her chest. She cried, holding Master Shade tightly against her chest. The doors burst open and Bane ran in with the other council members, Bane seeing Megumi and his face fell. The masked ninja looked at James and said quietly "We need to get her some place secure and away from anyone else..."
