Chapter 1
It was back the way it should be. Garou was his monstrous self again, Snek was feeling better from Amai's attempt to eat him and his wounds were finally healing over. A few decent meals allowed him to recover a little faster, yet he was also waiting for today, they go back to the association. Garou got the call a week ago, they allowed Amai Mask to dry out and think about what he did in the subbasement of the Association, it make Snek smile just a little.
"So, big boy couldn't take it huh? So what's going to happen next?" he asked as the family sat down at the table. Garou appeared to be thinking it over, as he playfully tapped his chin in thought. "Hmmm, what to do, what to do. Well, it's not my call anyways as to what is to be done with Amai Mask. I would like it to be!"
"Beat the hell out of him," muttered Snek.
"Nah, won't do you any good. He heals too quickly."
"Then how come when I saw him at the association when I was going for my promotion to A Class, that he was bandaged up?" demanded Melee.
"Pity card," said Garou. "Chicks dig a man who is wounded and in need."
"That's not true!" protested Melee. That was until Garou gave her an 'Oh, really?' look. She appeared to have thought it over but then gave in to the notion. "Okay fine, yeah that is true!"
"Anyways!" announced Snek, he leaned in and looked to Garou. "So, what would you do to him huh? Besides I am sure a good beating would be in store anyways, right? Even if he heals fast, you can still kick his ass!"
"Tempting, tempting, but you want him to SUFFER. That is but a moment of pain, you want to draw it out, right?" he asked. Snek nodded in agreement. "That, you need time to think it over."
Snek nodded in agreement as he finished his coffee. "So… does anyone have anything to say to me? Something important coming up tomorrow?" he asked with a grin on his face.
"Ooo first day of September is tomorrow!" announced Draven.
"August ends today… such a shame, but oh well, the month has to change," said Goliath.
Snek appeared disappointed. "Oh, right… that is a big deal." He muttered and went for a second cup of coffee. "Well, I think I am going to go hunt something…"
"No." said Garou.
Snek paused. "No? What do you mean no? You always told me to hunt when I get hungry. I am starting to feel it now, but you don't want me to?" he questioned.
Garou only smiled. "You know I tell you something, it's for a reason, right?" he asked.
Once again, Snek nodded. "Trust him, Snake. Dad knows what's best," said Goliath.
With a sigh, Snek agreed. Melee looked at the time. "Shit, we got to get to the Association! Today's the day Amai gets his punishment!" Everyone scarfed, drank and was quick to dress for the day. No one in the family was going to want to miss this!
