Being a berserker wolf can show some traits and here's how Yuki reacts...and how their relationship cements.
Ikuto's Temper
The next day, Yuki was heading back to where Ikuto lives to visit him again and take a look at the clouds together and she couldn't help but feel so infatuated by his sincerity, shyness and his humble personality and also...his protective side. As she walks by the forest, she saw a rose from a further distance and she comes by and picks it up, smells it and she could smell the wonderful aroma in there and immediately placed it on her right ear to fit a much more daintier part of herself.
"Looks perfect." Yuki said, looking at herself in a nearby reflection of the water.
Afterwards, she continued strolling through the forest to find where he is and on the way, she heard a distant angry scream from somewhere and she thought someone might be in trouble and she immediately ran as fast as she could to help someone out, but by the time the screams gets closer, a huge boom came out of nowhere and wondered if that someone's in worse condition right now.
Not one to get overwhelmed, she shakes that fear off and kept running to find out what's going on and by the time she got to where she was, she was shocked to see the end result...something that she didn't expect to see; a very furious and violent Ikuto taking on several guys that were ragging on the fact that Yuki doesn't deserve a guy like him and said that she can do far better than that.
Although offended by that remark the boys gave directly to Ikuto's face, she's a little afraid of what he might do next that Ikuto might regret and she wanted to step in for him, but Ikuto's fury completely prevented this from happening as one of the boys said, "She should be better off with me."
"Or me! A wolf and a tiger together...how ugly can they get?!" another raucous boy said, cackling.
"You shut up! You don't know anything about Yuki! She's sweet, nice, caring, funny and beautiful!" Ikuto shouted.
"Why would she ever end up with someone like you? You'd probably beat her up like us guys anyway." another guy said.
"Yeah, if she ended up with you, then she's a real bitch." another boy added.
Yuki dropped her jaw in shock and wanted to beat this guy up, based on that comment...that also boiled Ikuto's blood even further and he asked, "WHAT DID YOU CALL HER?!"
"You heard me." another boy replied, getting into Ikuto's face.
Ikuto then grabbed him by the neck and gave him a threatening, menacing look and said, "Don't you ever...EVER call her by that insult!"
He then beat the snot of of the guy and brought out a chain and swiped it as it hits the guy's head hard and used it again to knock him down harder and harder until blood came out of his head, which frightened Yuki from a distance. Ikuto then brought in some flaming chains and tied both boys up and slammed their heads with the hammer harder and flipped them over and slammed them through the ground, then threw him up in the air and by the time they came down, Ikuto bashed them on the heads and swung them through the left, far away.
"Insult Yuki again and you'll get the worst of it!" Ikuto roared.
With that hindsight, Ikuto threw down the hammer...and it landed closer to Yuki and made a tiny tap on a tree and suddenly, the tree falls down and lands on the ground that nearly hit Yuki, who managed to dodge the falling tree without harm. But having Yuki witness Ikuto's temper in person was completely a shock for her because she had no idea that he nearly caused harm.
Just then, Ikuto turns around and sees the tree on the ground and came over to retrieve the hammer and as he picked it up, he heard someone rustling and shouted, "Show yourself! Either show yourself...or get the worst of my fury!"
And sure enough...Ikuto saw someone slowly getting up and to his shock and horror, it was Yuki.
"Yuki?" asked Ikuto, shocked.
Yuki found herself backing away from Ikuto and she immediately ran away from him after seeing his temper in full display right in front of her and after she ran, Ikuto just couldn't believe that he scared her away and growled at himself for doing so and just cursed himself for doing so and said, "Why did I let my temper scare the one girl I defended?"
Yuki kept running and running and caught her breath as she stopped for a second and it was all crazy that Ikuto has a temper and she figured that she want nothing else to do with him, but something in her wanted to go back and see how he's oing because as Akashi recalled telling her that he does have a temper, but he can control himself and would never have any intent to hurt her whatsoever.
She lets out a deep sigh and gave herself the strength to go back to where the action took place and as she went back there, she saw Ikuto sitting on that tree and she said, "Ikuto? Are you okay?"
Ikuto slowly looked up and saw Yuki standing there and faced herself and a hint of regret and sadness just showcased him in and Yuki noticed that Ikuto's eyes were red and she asked him, "Have...have you been crying?"
"No...yeah." Ikuto replied, tears coming out of his eyes.
Yuki went ahead and got closer to him and once Ikuto saw that she was near him, he thought that she was gonna hit him, but instead...she gently placed her hands on his feet showing that she's there to comfort him which surprised him and he asked, "How come you're not afraid of me? I lost my temper in front of you."
"I know you did. But I know you didn't intend to hurt me. You just wanted to protect me." Yuki replied.
The fact that Yuki showed kindness towards him over something that he was surprised to see and he said, "Yuki, I should've had more self-control."
"But still...you did what you had to do to protect me...even if it scared me." Yuki added.
"Would you really want to stay with me?" asked Ikuto.
"Always. And I would do anything to help you with your temper." Yuki stated.
Ikuto then pulled her over to the tree, then she hugged him tightly and just feeling her warm embrace helped calm his temper down a little and he huggd her back tightly and said, "I will never let anyone hurt you. Even if that someone is me. I promise you...I'll never do anything to hurt you."
"I know you won't." Yuki said, gently.
After that, both of them looked into each other's eyes and just kissed on the lips very tenderly and it just felt like sparks are starting to fly between the two of them as they kept kissing each other and they wrapped their arms around each other as they kept kissing and after that, they looked into each other's eyes and placed each other's foreheads towards each other and Yuki said, "Promise me you'll always be by my side."
"I promise." Ikuto whispered.
Just then, they looked up at the clouds together...this time while they're holding each other's hands and in the end, it's a sweet resolution to a very out-of-control situation and Yuki smiled and placed her head on his shoulder and Ikuto did the same to comfort her and she responded with a soft purr.
Yuki's willingness to stay with Ikuto speaks volumes to their love. Stay tuned for more!
