~*~
Summary:
Hitomi lands in the middle of a fight, Fortunately a part cat part human was there to save her…
~*~
Zatera went into the marketplace to let Jin have some time to sleep. She just got back from her third fight this week. In earth days -- Wednesday. He sighed as he came closer to the bustling streets of Zantaki. He went over to one of the stores and brought out his money pouch, it was the same color as his ears. He bought some fruit for later. He turned his head when he saw another cat girl coming his way. 'Oh no! Not her…' He thought, 'My nightmares are coming true…' He turned his back to the gray and pinkish cat girl coming near him
"ZAT~TY! She said. The streets were so loud that nobody really paid attention. The only problem was, was that he could still hear it.
"Must-get-out-alive!" He whispered hoarsely, fighting his way through the crowd. He turned a corner not really noticing which one it was. When he had a chance to see where he went, he cursed slightly. "A dead end!" he said staring at a brick wall "Of all the places that I could have turned, I had to turn on Bloke! ARGH!" But before he had a chance to escape, what he was trying to run from appeared.
"ZATTY!" the girl said again, coming closer to him.
"H-Hey Katy…" He said nervously. 'Why am I the one she always chases? She has tons of other guys already bowing to her feet! I don't understand why they would do that though…I'd think they'd stink.'
"Oh Zat! Have you heard?"
"Have I heard what?" He asked while looking for an escape route.
"The king of Fanailia is coming! You're going to lead me to the main gates when he comes in aren't you?" She asked looking innocent and sad if he didn't, to get him to give in.
"Um…I wasn't planning on going…" he choked out. 'Ugh! He's impossible!' Katy thought. 'He's the only boy in this full town who won't go out with me! He hasn't even flirted!' She thought, getting angrier every second. She was one of the prettiest Cat girls in the kingdom; smarts were with her too. So what could Zatera not like about her? Her attitude.
"Listen to me Zatera!" She said, losing her patience. "You WILL be leading me to the main gates tomorrow at high noon no matter WHAT! Got that?" She asked the last part sweetly. Zatera himself was losing his patience but not as much as Katy was hers.
"Kate, listen, I wasn't planning on going and I still don't! Now listen to me-I will not lead you to the gates tomorrow! Got that?" He mimicked her got that and was able to sneak around her arms and ran as fast as he could to get away from there. But right before he got to the other side, he and Katy both saw the white light.
"What's that?" She whispered. Zat took this moment to run, unfortunately for him, his curiosity got the best of him and he ran the same direction as Katy.
~*~
Hitomi opened her eyes only to see two men fighting and two groups around them. She thought they didn't know that she was even their until one of the fighters spoke up.
"I'M going to get her!" He yelled, while placing a fist in the offenders stomach. Hitomi's eyes widened, she tried to muve backwards but somebody grabbed her wrist.
"Well look what we've got here!" it said, "Sleepin' Beaut' woke up!" They all turned to her and grinned and laughed so horribly, Hitomi felt daggers being put into her just from listening to it, then everybody presumed to stare at the fight with a few more chuckles going around the crowd.
~*~
Zatera ran to the top of the building where the light was closet. That was when he heard a high grunt.
"Oh Zatty! What's going on?" Katy asked him. She tried to look weak to get him to feel superior to her.
"Look down." He said without glancing up at her. Katy growled a little bit but looked down.
"A gang fight! What could they be fighting over?" She asked. Zatera pointed to the girl. two of the largest and strongest men were, one from each side, grabbed her arms to show that it was THEIR two groups with the agreement.
"That poor girl…" Katy said sadly. "Oh well! Come on Zat! There's nothing interesting here!" She popped back to her normal self. When she turned around to see if he was following her or not, I'll she saw was that he jumped.
~*~
"RRREEEEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!" Pierced the air around the two gangs. The darkness of the night hid who it was leaping down. The creature jumped onto both of the men's backs who were holding the hostage, putting his claws deep into them, causing them to yell loudly from the pain. Everybody from the gangs started for him. He picked the girl up who fought a little against him, apparently wanting to leave as soon as possible. Katy had no interest in what was going on and left. It was good for Zatera also, that way he didn't need to worry about her reaction when the gangs would start to say "He's entered Death Forest!" Which he did.
~*~
"Zat! What have you brought?" Jin asked the cat teen. He seemed to be holding the unconciuos body of a girl.
"Two gangs were fighting 'over' her." He said. Jin nodded her head. "Alright, take her into my room and lie her down I'll get out a cot." She said. Zatera nodded and followed her instructions.
'She seems familiar…' Jin thought, ' I've seen those eyes before…'
