A gift for my good friend Torn. Merry Christmas, torn :D
Black Hayate centered, set in Chap. 37-38 of the manga

He looked at me, surprised, when I jolted up from sleep. What? He didn't feel it? But then, it didn't really matter. I knew my Master was in trouble. That's all that mattered.
He noticed a moment later when everything went silent. The phone was silent, I mean. Master and whoever she had been talking to had hung up. Well, it was silent.
But it was instinct that told me Master was in danger. It was instincts that lead me to bolt out the door, through the crowded streets, through the building that lead to where Master was. (I knew because her scent followed the same path. I mean, where else could she be?)
I was only half-aware of Master's friend-what had she called him? Fury? That sounded right- behind me, struggling to keep up. He kept calling my name, but Master's safety was much more important.
And I'm right. That fat thing had Master by the neck, and I did the only thing I knew:
I attacked.
Master calls my name, but this time, I ignore her. Or maybe she was cheering for me? It didn't matter. I dug my fangs into the creature's shoulder, which gives Master some time to escape. And while he's dealing with me, I hear Fury call Master's name, and throw her something.
I knew better than to be in the way, and almost immediately after I do, they start shooting it.
I scurried over beside Master, still snarling and growling at that thing that dare hurt Master! But there's another smell that familiar. It's the friend of Master's who smells like ashes.
There was the sound of the snapping of fingers, and Master and Fury looked up. The spark flew toward the fat thing, and, like always, there was a big boom. And fire.
And the thing was blasted away, off the building. The call his...His… Name? Kernel is an odd name.
Even now, they think he save them. I never say anything, but I know that if it wasn't for me and my instincts, Master wouldn't be here. But I never say anything, because as long as Master's happy, I'm happy. And besides, it's not like they would even listen if I did.

Because we all knew it was Black Hayate who saved Riza from Gluttony. Mmmhmmm.
And yes, torn, I know you don't read the manga. But it was begging to be written.
