Sloan smiled wickedly at the expense of her friend, "I know... and for some reason I love that you hate it." She stood up quickly and pushed her chair back into the table.
Tsune and Hige hoisted themselves from their respective chairs with a slight grunt. Hige stretched his arms above his head and then rubbed at his neck. "We're coming."
Toboe quickly followed Peanut out, but not with that much excitement. Kiba with zero excitement compared to the others, all he cared about right now was Cheza, not the maiden of cheese but of flowers.
"SLLOOOOOW
POOOOKKEESS!" Peanut yelled towards her friends as she stopped
at the corner to wait for them, only for a split second before going
around the corner towards the market. Food and goodies everywhere,
easy pickings too!
Sloan, Hige, and Tsune followed directly
behind Peanut as they exited the bar. Sloan shook her head at her
friend's words. "Are not!" Sloan sped up to try and catch
that crazy green haired friend of hers.
Hige watched as all of this transpired and looked at Tsune. "I don't get them... do you?" Tsune just slight shook his head. "Not really, but then again... we haven't been around women in ages."
"ARE TOO!" Peanut yelled making sure that she barely stayed in Sloan's sight for only a few seconds before disappearing once again. She could out run anyone any day of the week. But sadly she had to skid to a halt when a gang of wolves appeared. Peanut grinned at the men, they where the same guys that she had kicked out last night.
"Hiya boys!" She chirped, if anything happened she would be a mile away in a second.
"ARE NOT!" Sloan yelled at the top of her lungs and laughed as she caught her friend and tackled her from behind. The two landed on the ground. Sloan looked at the men from last night. "Fancy meeting you here." She kept a confident smirk plastered on her face.
Hige and Tsune soon saw the men roll into view. Hige was going to go and help the girls but Tsune stopped him. "I think they can handle this one."
"EW COOKIE! You made me eat dirt! It tastes horrible." Peanut growled getting up and spitting the dirt out of her mouth. She started to clean her tongue with her hands swearing all the time.
"So boys, bleh, we'll be going now. If that's ok." Peanut asked nicely this time around.
"I dunno boys. Should we let them be or not?" The leading bad boy asked his peons. They shrugged not sure what to do, they saw their boss get owned by Peanut and wasn't too sure if they could handle her.. But once they finally counted how many they had on their side they chose.
"No boss!" Was the small chorus through the group of six.
"Too bad boys. This time I'll have to break your noses." Peanut growled grinning. Before they could tense up Peanut was already on top of the boss' shoulder and pounded his face with her foot, sending him down.
INSTANT K.O.
"Anyone else?" Peanut asked looking up smirking. They looked at each other really unsure this time around.
"Sorry about the dirt" Sloan apologized as she dusted herself off carefully.
Hige and Tsune watched as Peanut attacked the boss with such veracity. Both just watched and Tsune seemed to smirk at the mere mention of violence. So watching Peanut made him almost smile... key word being almost.
Sloan just watched for now. "If you don't I will have to beat the rest of you into pulp while my friend takes care of your leader." Smirking she loved the fact that all of them were laughing. She never fought; it was always Peanut who took care of things. So of course they thought she was going to be a weakling.
It was a horrible mistake to underestimate Sloan or female wolves in general.
One of the boys where brave enough, or foolish, to coax the other men to attack with him, really bad idea. Peanut did the same thing she did with the leader with one other man. She broke both arms of a third one, after punching him in t he face.
"Cookie the rest is yours!" Peanut chirped as she jumped away from a wolf that took a dive at her. Kiba watched interested in the whole conflict. Toboe was twitchy like he had a horsefly biting his butt, he knew that he couldn't do anything yet wanted to really badly.
Sloan cracked her knuckles and smiled. "Thanks Peanut." Her eyes scanning the guys she couldn't help but feel great. "Who would like to do the honors of being first? Don't be shy!"
Taking the one nearest her she drove her foot into his stomach and as he doubled over in pain she kicked him full force in the head. As he slumped down into the dirt she climbed over him to get at the one attempting to rush her behind him.
Punching hard in the face and then elbowing him in the side. A kick to the groin sent him into the dirt with the other. Now only one remained. He was dim to say the least. He had tried to attack her from behind.
Elbowing hard in the sides she was then able to spin around and head butt him. Grabbing both sides of his face she twisted hard and all of a sudden there was a hard snap. She hadn't killed him, but she had paralyzed him.
"Oooh." Peanut winced at the cracking, "Isn't that just a little harsh. I just knocked the guys out and crushed his nose?" She shrugged walking over the new mess.
"Harsh or effective?" Sloan smirked and watched the guys' faces contort in surprise. "Just because I don't fight often doesn't mean I'm some helpless little nothing." She stepped purposely on one of the guy's backs and looked over her shoulder. "Come on already."
"Back to our mission!" Peanut chirped starting off a brisk jog. Kiba followed careful not to step on any of the men, same for Toboe who was scared this time. He never did like fighting but how fast those two girls took those guys out scared the life out of him.
Poor Toboe only being a puppy.
Tsune actually smiled. Actually smiled! She was definitely the type of girl he could get along with. Following closely behind the female wolves Tsune stepped over and on the men he had watched both of them attack.
"Good point." Peanut answered Sloan thinking as she jogged. Soon enough they where at the first good place to visit. The open market place.
"Welcome boys to the open market place, best place to buy anything from food to drugs." Peanut gestured around the corner towards the roaring street, people were running, walking, and yelling.
"Sloan you have the next pick after they're through sight seeing this place." Peanut poked her friend's shoulder before heading into the noisy crowd.
Sloan stared at the open market for a moment and then turned back to her friend. Smiling at Hige's reaction and the vast area the market took up Sloan shifted her weight from one hip to the other.
"Enjoy guys." Grinning and then looking Peanut in the eye. "You know exactly where I want to go next."
Peanut stared at her for a few seconds... Then a few more seconds before finally moving a single muscle. "Where?" Peanut had no idea where Sloan wanted to go, but that was Sloan.
Toboe was running around looking at all the nifty shiny or pointy, dangerous things in the marketplace. Kiba kept an eye on him since, he's Toboe, a silly little puppy.
"You'll see then in due time." With a wink Sloan followed them all watching them examine the vast amount of merchandise with interest.
Hige picked up an obscure round object and upon feeling it become searing hot in his hands he quickly placed it back down. Shaking his hand furiously back and forth he continued on.
Peanut tackled Hige from behind and chirped before continuing in on normal voice level. "Hey you want to play a chance game over there?" She asked pointing towards a stall with a man with three cups and a silver ball.
"Let's see if you can beat him. I'll pay the entrance fee if you play." She chirped still hanging over his back grinning. Kiba watched as his friend nearly get tackled to the ground by the girl, rolling his eyes he walked away still wandering and trying to pick up Cheza's scent.
Toboe on the other hand continued to stare at any thing that was shiny. Anything. But currently he was watching the man with the cups cheat people out of their money. Or at least tricked them.
Sloan glanced at each of them. No matter how long she looked there was something that seemed to irk her. How had she not sensed them coming? Her sense of smell was acute like Hige's but maybe she was loosing it. Shaking her head she let the idea go and watched as Peanut interacted with Hige.
It was obvious that Hige and Peanut were alike in some ways and both enjoyed each other's company, but Sloan couldn't be sure of to what extent yet. Slowly approaching the stand she smirked as her eyes tracked the silver ball.
Hige nodded, "I suppose... yeah, I'll try." Hige was good when it came to scents, but was his other senses just as keen? He had watched the old man move, and he was nothing short of swift.
"You can do it Hige!" Peanut chirped watching the ball move around under the cups. She waited to see which one he would pick and if it was right. Toboe watched over Peanut's shoulder. "I lost track of it!" He wined, Peanut shushed him.
Kiba suddenly appeared next to Sloan. "So where are we going to go next?" He hoped that he didn't startle her at all.
