Akane wanted to cry, tried to speak, she didn't want to die. She prayed fervently for something to happen, anything, to save her. She wasn't a dumb animal, you didn't eat people! She'd be good, she swore, cringing in final terror. She felt the blade, and heard her sister's soothing words, then the pain as the blade cut in.
Kasumi was an excellent cook, and could easily part out any common carcass, but she wasn't a skilled butcher, knowing where and how to cut an animal's throat for best and quickest results; in consequence, she started her stroke on the side of the neck, and drew slowly, and as soon as she shed Akane's blood, she jumped back, dropping the knife in shock as the poor, half-starved mutt changed and flowed into a naked, half-starved girl.
Back in his shop, the Spells 'R' Us wizard smiled sadly. It had taken a long time, and a lot of pain and suffering, but at least Akane had finally learned what she'd needed to.
