ARROWS OF FLAME
Slowly eyes opened to a new room the unfamiliar ceiling was only one thing that had Jimmy troubled as he gazed around the room looking form some sort of amusement or anything of familiarity. Looking down Jimmy saw that he was still in his tiger form and gazed around to find that he was in a circus of some sort. He was in a cage that much he could tell. Looking around Jimmy could see the different people all from the village that he protected. A small man looked up at him and in an accented voice spoke to him. "Don't worry Tiger spirit this was the only way to make sure that you remain safe while you heal. You are being taken to a circus by Preventer Ice he will take care of you and keep you in here as a disguise and to make sure you are safe." He said and Jimmy nodded only more confusion on his face then before. He waited till it was the right time before leaving. The man was sad to see the tiger go but they had no choice. Jimmy did not risk turning back just yet for he did not know of this Preventer Ice. He was curious to see just who this man was and find out more about him.
Trowa stood off in the distance when he was able to finally have a helicopter be brought to these high mountains the tiger was then lifted up and away from the village as the people scrambled to get away before the Avengers arrive to take a hold of them. Jimmy watched as the very village that he protected scramble in fear of some people who would do bodily harm to them. He sighed and let himself drift off to sleep after all his blood loss has made him weaker then usual.
He could taste it the hot raw flesh beating in his jaws. The small figures of the men that he consumed and devoured. Hot blades and bullets hit his fur and bouncing off. The tiger let out a roar of rage before charging again. He was not a happy kitty that is for sure the blood lust was great as he charged at a group of men on the side. It was then that a piercing scream could be heard through out the mountains. "STOP!" It said but Jimmy could not he did not listen to the inner voice for he was deaf to it. When he looked around he could see his fellows enjoying the blood and flesh that they consumed and he joined as well. "The things of thy past hold much hurt does it not?" said a voice and Jimmy turned to find the tiger demon Wheng-Qi looking back at him. "What is this why you are showing me these bad memories?!" Jimmy demanded of him and the older demon smiled, "One must remember the past to understand the future," he said and Jimmy glared at him taking it as a signal the tiger continued, "I have come to train you per last request of thy heir." He said and Jimmy was taken back, "Train me? Why the hell for and for what?" he demanded of the demon ghost and the tiger smiled, "I need an heir as well as the other demon lords of the world." With that the scene changed to a burning city with people running not from him but from another figure. This one rose from the smoke in a graceful raise of the head. Its eyes glowed with the color of blood. The size of the giant monster was enough to send Jimmy into a shaking heap on the ground as he stared at the monster before him. The smoke made it hard to see but as it moved closer to the men, women and children it quickly let loose a gushing bit of poison that killed them as well as melt the surrounding buildings in its acidic spray. The dog roared instead of barked which threw Jimmy off guard. "Who is that?" he asked, "One who smells of the sky and of the earth and the ever changing sea. One you once knew is now fighting and endless battle for control with the one you must fight. She and a human are fighting for this cause for the two have become one. Fight them and you will find your answers." He said and Jimmy thought for a moment before it hit him. "Mart you are talking about Mart aren't you?" he said and the Demon nodded, "She is fighting the evil one as we speak the one called Naraku it is he you must fight. The men that killed your friends are the ones who serve him. They are misguided by him and his minions but you are no longer." He said with a sneer to his voice and an angered expression. "Listen little cub you will have to fight this battle for me for thou art no longer able to fight." He said and Jimmy saw for the first time another battle. This was like his battle but different. There where demons of all sorts and a grand army led by two demons in the front both of which had white hair on their heads. Jimmy could see that one of them has dog ears, "Thou see the ones who leads thy armies," he said and Jimmy could hear the shouts of the men as they called out orders. The humans and demons alike charged another group which Jimmy could see over in the distance consisting of mostly demons all of them looking very evil. "That time was the time of the great lords of the Demon world. Thou hast seen the last battle," said Wheng-Qi, "Why are you showing me this?" Jimmy asked confused, "Thy demon origins lay here in this battle ground. It is here that the blood trees where born and gave you your demon powers," "Blood Trees?" Jimmy asked, "Yes, now watch," he said and Jimmy watched as the battles that where fought went on forever. It was a never ending blood bath. Looking in the distance Jimmy could see what the ghost had meant when he saw its lifeless body on the ground and blood dripping out of the weapons that killed him. At the foot of the demon a single tree began to grow slowly and Jimmy could see the power that flowed from the plant. But that was not the thing that caught his eye it was the being beyond that. Looking over to the distance he could make out a young girl wearing a school uniform carrying a bow and arrow. She had a look of determination that was on her face. She positioned her bow and arrow and took aim. Jimmy could only hear one word, "NARAKU!" she called and let the arrow fly. The arrow was filled with a mystic light and hit its target in the heart. To the dismay of the girl she was also hit as well right through her in the heart. "An eye for an eye should we say," said the one called Naraku. Jimmy felt a heated hatred flow through him at the man before him. He could not understand a word the man was saying but he had some idea. And this angered Jimmy to no end, "Why is he killing all those people?" he said in a low voice, "All those who fight against thee are destroyed for he is one of pure evil almost like the devil himself." Said Wheng-Qi, "Why is he doing this?" Jimmy asked and as he asked the sky grew dark with an approaching storm. As the storm fell he could see the destruction that was plagued by the battle. Thousands of demons and humans alike where killed during this battle as Jimmy watched from the sidelines he could see the soldiers battle harder to fight off the armies of Naraku. Swords clashing, spears piercing, hand to hand fighting was going on in all sorts of styles. Jimmy began to cry as the battle drew to an end. In the end there was nothing but blood and bodies all of which had many wounds because most where demons. Among them where several Jimmy recognized, one was the girl from earlier and the two white haired ones. He could see their faces and it told him a lot about failure. "That was the price of our failure to protect the ones we love. These in front of thee are Inu-Yasha," he pointed to the one with the dog ears, "And the other is lord Sesshoumaru lord of the Western Japanese lands." He said and Jimmy could see where the two killed themselves. "Why did they kill themselves?" he asked, "It was because of Naraku and his evil that corrupted them and turned them against each other." Wheng-Qi said to Jimmy as he saw the grounds change to another more familiar ground. It was Jimmy's home town and he saw it being burned by himself as well as the others. "The paterns repeat themselves young Jimmy they are the same as the last battle and just as bloody except it is not a actual battle it is a slaughter of innocents take heed of this warning and avoid this confrontation again." he said and Jimmy saw the world fade into black.
Waking up Jimmy could see the sun shinning brightly through the bars of the cages. Sitting up he saw that he is not where he was suppose to be. Blinking the last of the sleep in his mind he looked around to find that the animals where eyeing him warily he did not want to be in the cage any more then they do. A growling in his stomach was all that Jimmy needed to let him know that he was hungry and wanted to catch something to eat. He heard a squeak nearby and saw a large rat scurrying for food. With lightning fast reflexes he snatches the mouse and ate it. Being in his tiger form it needs a lot more to be satisfied. He decided that the cage was made because he was in his tiger form and from looking around he was with other big cats as well including Lions, Leopards, and other Tigers as well. One tigress was eyeing him wearily for he was so large compared to her and her cubs. Jimmy then eyed the cubs all of them hiding behind their mother for protection. Jimmy then saw his predicament and shifted slowly to his human form. The tigress eyed him with curiosity this time as he looked to her and then to her cubs. She had never seen a tiger shift from a tiger to a boy. She slowly approached him and sniffed, her eyes widened when she smelt that he was nothing more then a cub himself. She gently picked him up from the neck and carried him over to the other end of the cage that he shared and began to clean him because he was filthy. "Hey, cut that out!" he laughed as her tongue stroked him intent on getting him cleaned.
Catherine was busy with the giraffe pen insisting that she accompany Trowa on one of his investigations was not an easy task but she reluctantly let him go after he called her. When he came back with a massive tiger Catherine was not surprise by the size of it and knew already that he was one of the legendary Shadow Assassins that they where talking about just like Justin. Speaking of that trouble making fox she wondered who he was doing with Wufei and all. Shaking her head to do the task that she needed to do she shove the pill down the Giraffe's tongue to get it to swallow. When it finally did she settled down to do other things such as get the tiger pens cleaned. When she got there she was in for a surprise for there sleeping on the hay with the tiger cubs was the form of a sleeping boy. His clothes where torn and bloody and his tiger tail twitched here and there. The stripes on his face made him look a little on the cute side. The boy only slept on in bliss and she smiled a bit. "Hey there Lila what do you have here?" she said pointing to Jimmy and the mother tiger moved so she could take Jimmy up and away from here. The tigress was more then happy to let the boy stay with the humans that care for it.
Jimmy awoke to a nice soft bed and a warm blanket on him. Getting up he felt a draft from the window and looked down to see that he had nothing on him. His stripped skin looks as if he has tattoos on it but he did not let that bother him too much. Looking around he saw a pair of clothes laying down on the chair for him. He started to walk out of bed when he noticed the bandages on his side and arms. They must have tended to my wounds who ever owned that tiger. He thought as he dressed himself.
Catherine walked in to the trailer, "Hello?" she asked and looked around, must still be asleep she though as she walked towards the rear of the trailer. Getting there she was shocked to find that the trailer was empty. "Hello?" she asked again and got no reply. She looked around and finally found the bandages torn and bloody on the floor. "I hope this one is not like Justin," she said to herself as she walked outside to the mess hall.
Soft feet padded on the earth as a small figure made his way towards the kitchen the smell of meat was in the air and he was hungry. Jimmy made his way towards the kitchens. He could see a man stirring a pot filled with stew but it was not that he was interested in. It was the pile of raw meat on the table. Creeping up to it he grabbed a stack and went off with it before the portly man would notice.
Catherine searched the whole of the circus finding Jimmy but could not even find a single sign of the tiger cub anywhere. That is until a scream was heard from the kitchen an angry scream and suddenly an orange and white blur zoomed past her on its way out of the kitchens. Catherine had to smile but turned to move to dodge a butcher knife where her feet were, "HEY WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING WITH THAT ANDREW YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME!" Catherine screamed at him and the one known as Andrew cringed. "Sorry Miss Bloom but that little monster ate all the meat that I was using for dinner." He said and Catherine had to chuckle at that. "You know that kid is going to have one serious stomach ache because of all the meat he just ate. Catherine had to laugh because of it. Walking away she muttered to herself of Andrews over reaction to everything. While walking she could hear something falling and decided to investigate. Walking over to one of the many booths where stuff from all over was stored she could make out a tail twitching under some things. Catherine carefully walked over to the hiding figure, "It is ok little one no one is going to hurt you," she said softly to the young tiger aware that it can attack her at any time. "It is ok," she cooed as she gently removed the boxes and other stuff hiding the cub. She then got a good look at the tail that connected to the body of a young boy. "Hey there little guy I am not going to hurt you I promise." She said and the boy stirred and looked at her with fear in his eyes. "Hey not it is ok I am not going to hurt you," she said but got a surprise reaction when the boy reared back and bared his fangs at her. He hissed at her with his hair up high. "Hey now," said Catherine and she reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of ham that she had taken from Andrew without getting him started. "Here want some," she said to the little demon that crawled closer to her and sniffed the meat before snatching it from her hand and ate it. It then came up to Catherine and began to lick the blood off of her other hand at the wound that she did not know she had. I must have cut myself when moving the stuff. She said and the boy licked her wound like a cat. She could feel his tongue stroking her skin and something wet landed on her hand. Jimmy saw the girl and picked up her scent as well reading that she was not there to harm him after he licked her wound. Then taking her hand within his he tore off the remains of his shirt and wrapped her hand and looked at her. She froze when he leaned in close and took in her scent and while he took in her scent he could smell the fresh animal dung on her as well as the shampoo that she uses. The girl was frozen for she did not know what Jimmy was going to do next until he began to purr like a kitten and rubbed his face against her. Catherine smiled when she heard the boy begin to purr and she stroked him gently. She was surprise that the boy was so soft. Careful of his claws she carried him out of the pile and placed him down on the ground. "Ok little man you are going to have to ask the next time you want food you understand." She said and the boy nodded, he is more behaved then Justin. She thought remembering all the pranks the fox pulled at the school she was staying at. That is until the dog demon destroyed it. "Hey there you wouldn't happen to know a fox demon by the name of Justin now would you?" she asked and the boy's face lit up. "You know Justin?" he asked and Catherine nodded, "Yep that little troublemaker fox got me and my friends into so much trouble with the school that we where at about a few months ago." She said and with that Jimmy looked up at her and she could see his emerald mixed with golden eyes for the first time. "Hey I know want to meet Trowa I am sure he is willing to meet you," she said and she began to walk away before turning, "By the way I did not get your name?" she said and Jimmy smiled, "I am Jimmy the tiger nice to meet you," he said, "Catherine Bloom head of the Bloom Circus." She said and Jimmy's eyes lit up, "Circus?" he said with a smile. "Yep circus," replied Catherine. Jimmy looked up and smiled at that thought at being in a circus that is until the shouting of a certain someone had to break the bubble. Turning back Jimmy saw that the chef that he stolen the meat from was not very happy to have a little boy come after him and standing up Jimmy ran as fast as he could go while the man came after him in a golf cart. "Andrew stop it!" Catherine cried as she ran after them. Jimmy ran as fast as he could when the man began to open fire on the young tiger. He leaped high over his head and did a back flip before landing on all fours. Getting up he took a fighting position. Andrew did a double take and came at him again. Jimmy leaped out of the way just in time before the cart disappeared into one of the tents. The shouts of many people could be heard as Jimmy ran into the tent. When he neared the tent he could pick up the scent of many people some of them are performers and animal trainers as well as the smell of other people. Lifting his head up Jimmy ran as fast as he could towards the tent. Nearing the tent he could see the chef on the ground nursing a broken arm. "You little monster!" he shouted at Jimmy and Jimmy went to him. "I am sorry sir it I ate all your raw meat." He said and the chef glared at him but saw the sincerity in his eyes. Then taking his arm Jimmy pulled it to the pain of the man who tried to fight back but the young demon would have none of it. Taking the arm he stroked it applied something to it. "I learned it from the monks in the mountains they helped me learn this." He said to the chef as Jimmy applied a bandage over the wound he made as well as a salve from his pockets. He applied the salve and the chef looked up at him. "Why are you helping me monster?" he asked, "Because long ago I was just like you a normal human being but now I learned in the five hundred years that I have been living." Replied Jimmy as he got up and the chef then looked around him and found that the tent was ruined. He also got glares from all the different people. "Sorry," he said and it was then that Jimmy got up and ran towards the objects of desire leaping up he quickly placed them back to how they originally was. The stunned audience could only watch as the tiger demon fixed everything except things that where broken to how it was. "There finished now can I go?" he asked "Um sure," said the headmaster as Jimmy ran out of the tent.
Several days past found Jimmy practicing with the other performers as usual since he was a freeloader by accident he might as well make use of it by working with the circus performers. Some he got along with fine like Andrew the Chef after he bandaged up his leg over a misunderstanding but some hated him like Carlos the strong man. Jimmy did not understand why Carlos did not like him just because the tiger boy could bend bars far better then he can. Jimmy's performance was that of an acrobat since his catlike abilities able him to leap higher then a normal human as well as run faster and his appearance did not require any makeup. Jimmy had not dreams of being in the circus but after what Catherine told him he might as well stay and wait for this so called 'Trowa,' to return.
A few more days passed and the circus was about to move again to the southern providences of China. Jimmy was glad to get out of that area for there where too many activities. Getting into one of the trucks Jimmy fastened his seatbelts he felt strange since the truck was so big. Beside him was Catherine who was driving she noticed the look on Jimmy's face, "What is wrong Jimmy?" she asked the tiger boy, "A lot of things," he said, "For starters I have never seen a truck this big before," he said, "Well normally these trucks carry mobile suits but we use them for the circus." Answered Catherine as she watched the road, "I am just curious what are mobile suits," he asked, "Well Justin was just like you when he asked that question and to answer it they are giant robots that we use for war." Catherine answered him with a sad expression. "What is it?" Jimmy said thinking that he somehow offended the nice lady, "Nothing I was just remembering the war," "Oh I heard about it from the monks. You said you met Justin can you tell me what he is like now?" Jimmy asked, "Well from what I know about him it was actually Relena who found him. Or he found her," she said with a smile at that memory of the troublesome fox.
Trowa in the meantime was in Southern China Canton to be exact. He was supposed to meet up with Wufei then catch up with the circus when they arrived. Looking from the restaurant window he finally could make out the slick black hair of Wufei and the man next to him. Taking out a whistle that only dogs could hear he blew into it and saw the smaller mans head turn to the whistle and then guided Wufei over to the restaurant window where Trowa was sitting. "So how did it go?" he asked the newly arrived duo. "We had some trouble in the Hong Kong Area but thanks to Justin that has been settled, but we found something else there as well." he said then turning to the boy, "We found demons hundreds of demons all lower class though but still to congregate in that area there has to be some sort of an explanation as to why the Avengers are associating with them." Justin said, "Demons? In China?" Trowa asked, "It seems so," Wufei said and gave his report the same as he said to Une the day before. "So it seems that the boy was a bit shy for the monks that took care of him did not know a word of English. So the boy was left without knowing anything except how to clean the temple. At night he would wonder the jungle protecting villagers and taking care of 'unwanted company'" was Trowa's report, "What about the monks?" Wufei asked, "They where killed in the last battle against the Avengers only Jimmy and I escaped," Trowa replied then turning his head to the fox boy as he stared out the window obviously spaced. He could see the worry in his eyes and knew already that the fox was thinking about him, "Justin," he asked the fox boy and Justin turned to him, "Mind telling us what Jimmy was like before all this happened?" he asked and Justin nodded, "He was a nag at first always bugging Mart to draw pictures. I was the pest and Steven was the hyper one. We all missed our friends during the war but because we had no control over out bodies we could do nothing." He said turning his gaze back to the window.
"And that is what happened," Catherine said finishing her story and saw to her amazement Jimmy was asleep in the passenger side. She smiled at the boy who slept peacefully on the seat and turned back to the wheel. Poor kid he is just like Justin just a kid who needs someone to help them find their way. She thought as she drove. Suddenly an explosion caused them to stop in their tracks. Jimmy woke with a start, "What was that?" he asked and Catherine shrugged, "I do not know one of the trucks up ahead exploded," she said that is until Jimmy pulled her down and taking off her seat belt. "Jimmy wha." she was stopped when Jimmy put his hand to her mouth to silence her and listened. The sounds of screaming could be heard as well as the distant roar could be heard over the noise of something overhead. Gunfire could be heard as well and Jimmy kept his profile low as he explained to Catherine to stay while he got to look outside. Creeping out of the truck he could smell the blood that was soaking the ground. Looking around Jimmy could see the bodies of the people all over as well as animals including the tigress and her cubs. Horrified he remembered the monastery where he was living for some time. "History repeats itself," he whispered. He could hear the cries of the survivors and turned to find one man wounded on his side gazing at him. It was Andrew the chef, "What happened?" Jimmy asked, "We where attacked by a monster and a few mobile suits," He said wincing, "Hold still," Jimmy said as he got some of the man's shirt off and used it as a tunicate. He found a few more survivors after that and dragged them over to where Andrew is before getting Catherine out of the truck. A scream was heard from the place where he left Catherine and Jimmy ran all the way back. "Catherine!" he called when he reached there he could see her backing away against one of the tires as the demon came down for her. "LET HER GO YOU ASSHOLE!" Jimmy charged as fast as his demon powers will let him. The demon turned to the new sound and was met with a fist to the face. The demon took the form of a giant insect a large spider to be exact and behind that were three mobile suits. Growling Jimmy attacked the demon with his claws out and slashed at the flesh again. The demon reacted with slashing at him while the mobile suits attacked by firing on the demon child. "No this one is mine!" the demon called as it slashed at the tiger cub again. Jimmy did a back flip and landed in a defense position. "You won't escape this time from Master Naraku Shadow Assassin," the Spider called as it let loose some silk at the tiger who was not fast enough to dodge. Jimmy was stuck as a web lodged on his leg and pulled. He tried to get out before more could get on him, "Jimmy!" Catherine cried as she tried to help the tiger cub. Jimmy struggled with all his might against the silk to no avail he was stuck. The spider having been satisfied with getting Jimmy moved in for the kill. That is until the tiger side swiped her with a sweeping kick knocking the arachnid to the ground. Furious the spider bit into Jimmy's side letting the tiger get away with a lot of pain. Jimmy was slowly losing consciousness to the spider's delight, "Foolish tiger do you think that just because you are a Shadow Assassin that you can out best me! Amesikamesh descendent of Ananzi the spider of Africa!" it boasted as it neared Jimmy and whacked Jimmy with one of its legs letting the cub fly into the nearest truck. "Amesikamesh you are ordered to get rid of these scum don't you remember," said one of the mobile suits and the spider turned, "Of course I remember human do not push me! I have some business to take care of Tiger and when I am done I will come back for you," With that the spider dashed away towards the humans on the other side of the truck. Catherine was among them as they ran leaving Jimmy to himself. The boy struggled for freedom but the poison got the better of him as he slipped into oblivion, "JIMMY!" a voice yelled and his eyes snapped up for a second and saw the spider approaching the others that it caught in its web. Trying to fight the poison Jimmy struggled even more. He was more determined then ever to fight the spider, "Don't move Shadow!" one of the suits said but the tiger struggled even more fighting off the poison and getting stronger.
Catherine was running for her life with Andrew on her back. She was not fast enough to get away when the spider caught her with its web. Falling she hit the ground hard Andrew screamed in pain as he rolled off of her. The spider was over her now its mouth and fangs where dripping with venom as it savored its new found taste. "At last I can have my feast," it said as it came closer. "HELP SOMEONE PLEASE!" she called to no one. "LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE YOU FUCKEN VAMPIRE!" someone shouted followed by gunfire from the mobile suits. They where followed by an explosion and someone leaping into the air.
Jimmy saw Catherine get caught in the web and tried to escape. Amesikamesh was closing in on her its fangs dripping venom. Without thinking Jimmy called all his powers together and felt a burning sensation overcome him. That fire was his anger as he burned through the webbing. Breaking free his arm shot out and a bow showed up out of nowhere to his surprise. Not caring he took aim with his arrows as soon as the mobile suits started to fire. Turning he saw an arrow also appears this one was made of flame as he took aim. Letting loose three fire arrows and the mobile suits exploded.
Catherine saw the tiger demon but what he was holding was the thing that surprised her it was a bow the kind used for war. Attached to it was an Arrow but what surprised her more was that it was flaming. Not just at the tip but all over. "Let her go you mother fucker!" he swore in a fowl language that Catherine did not know that he possessed. She saw his green eyes they where flaming with hatred. The boy took aim the arrow as the spider turned around. Its eight eyes widened to the sight of the fire arrows. "How is that possible? No one can escape my venom!" it cried, "Well sorry about that ass wipe but I have a giant spider attacking my friends and I am about to swat it with this over size slipper here." He said and the spider turned and spat out webbing at the tiger boy. Leaping away he fired an arrow. The spider seeing it again spat out more webbing but to its avail the arrow shot right through the webs and headed right towards it. The spider demon leaped away as the arrow hit the ground and exploded into dust and rock. Jimmy leaped after it as it came at his human friends again. He shot another arrow and this time it exploded in front of Catherine and that caused the spider to turn towards his enemy. Jimmy used that time to morph into his tiger form and encouraged Catherine and Andrew on his back and began to run. Pumping all the power he could muster into his legs Jimmy ran as fast as he could with the spider on his tail. He could hear the sounds of more mobile suits as they came crashing down. Two Aries and Taros mobile suits came chasing after them but the demon was not about to let them get him. Swinging from side to side he dodged bullets that came down in a shower of metal and fire. Dodging left and right the tiger avoided the fire that came from the skies. Having enough Jimmy dropped everyone off at a shelter and headed back at his enemies.
The spider Amesikamesh searched for the tiger, "Foolish cub you think you can hide from me," he said tracking the scent.
MEANWHILE IN CANTON
"Did you smell that?" Justin said to Trowa and Wufei as they where getting their clothes ready. "What is it Justin?" Wufei asked, "Someone is in trouble I can smell the blood from here," he said, "It is probably some murder in the city," said Trowa, "Let the police handle it," he shrugged, "No it is not that smell I smell," then his eyes went wide, "DEMON!" he yelled then leaped from the window, "JUSTIN!" Wufei shouted and ran to the window, "JUSTIN!" he shouted into the night.
Justin was running as fast as he could north towards the smell of a demon. The wind was coming from up north so that means the demon is coming from that direction. Running as fast as he could the fox was out doing traffic. Running as fast as he could the fox demon made his way towards the outskirts of the city. Justin had to get to that smell for he could smell something else as well something familiar.
At this time Amesikamesh found his way towards Jimmy who was covered in blood from the many blows that the spider gave to him. "Foolish tiger demon you think you can defeat the likes of me who has thousands of years more experience then you!" the spider said before unleashing another round of webbing that caught the weakened Jimmy. The spider then bit into the boy again releasing more venom then before. Screaming Jimmy never felt this amount of pain ever.
Riding in a jeep not far behind Justin, Wufei and Trowa where tracking the fox down. "He had sensed the demon from this far so that means that someone is in danger." Trowa said, "I know when he goes off like that that means that the demon must be working for the Avengers." Wufei stated, "But I can't believe that Justin forgot his weapon," he said looking at the rusted looking glaive in the back, "I just don't get it how can a rusted piece of crap become a very powerful weapon?" Trowa asked as they reached the outskirts of the city. "That weapon was forged by a demon by the name of Shippo he gave it to Justin as a gift." "Lets just hope that this weapon can get to the fox before what ever it is does." Trowa said.

I Know this chapter is long and I only mentioned the fire arrows for a brief moment but I am getting there.

ARROWS OF FLAME
Slowly eyes opened to a new room the unfamiliar ceiling was only one thing that had Jimmy troubled as he gazed around the room looking form some sort of amusement or anything of familiarity. Looking down Jimmy saw that he was still in his tiger form and gazed around to find that he was in a circus of some sort. He was in a cage that much he could tell. Looking around Jimmy could see the different people all from the village that he protected. A small man looked up at him and in an accented voice spoke to him. "Don't worry Tiger spirit this was the only way to make sure that you remain safe while you heal. You are being taken to a circus by Preventer Ice he will take care of you and keep you in here as a disguise and to make sure you are safe." He said and Jimmy nodded only more confusion on his face then before. He waited till it was the right time before leaving. The man was sad to see the tiger go but they had no choice. Jimmy did not risk turning back just yet for he did not know of this Preventer Ice. He was curious to see just who this man was and find out more about him.
Trowa stood off in the distance when he was able to finally have a helicopter be brought to these high mountains the tiger was then lifted up and away from the village as the people scrambled to get away before the Avengers arrive to take a hold of them. Jimmy watched as the very village that he protected scramble in fear of some people who would do bodily harm to them. He sighed and let himself drift off to sleep after all his blood loss has made him weaker then usual.
He could taste it the hot raw flesh beating in his jaws. The small figures of the men that he consumed and devoured. Hot blades and bullets hit his fur and bouncing off. The tiger let out a roar of rage before charging again. He was not a happy kitty that is for sure the blood lust was great as he charged at a group of men on the side. It was then that a piercing scream could be heard through out the mountains. "STOP!" It said but Jimmy could not he did not listen to the inner voice for he was deaf to it. When he looked around he could see his fellows enjoying the blood and flesh that they consumed and he joined as well. "The things of thy past hold much hurt does it not?" said a voice and Jimmy turned to find the tiger demon Wheng-Qi looking back at him. "What is this why you are showing me these bad memories?!" Jimmy demanded of him and the older demon smiled, "One must remember the past to understand the future," he said and Jimmy glared at him taking it as a signal the tiger continued, "I have come to train you per last request of thy heir." He said and Jimmy was taken back, "Train me? Why the hell for and for what?" he demanded of the demon ghost and the tiger smiled, "I need an heir as well as the other demon lords of the world." With that the scene changed to a burning city with people running not from him but from another figure. This one rose from the smoke in a graceful raise of the head. Its eyes glowed with the color of blood. The size of the giant monster was enough to send Jimmy into a shaking heap on the ground as he stared at the monster before him. The smoke made it hard to see but as it moved closer to the men, women and children it quickly let loose a gushing bit of poison that killed them as well as melt the surrounding buildings in its acidic spray. The dog roared instead of barked which threw Jimmy off guard. "Who is that?" he asked, "One who smells of the sky and of the earth and the ever changing sea. One you once knew is now fighting and endless battle for control with the one you must fight. She and a human are fighting for this cause for the two have become one. Fight them and you will find your answers." He said and Jimmy thought for a moment before it hit him. "Mart you are talking about Mart aren't you?" he said and the Demon nodded, "She is fighting the evil one as we speak the one called Naraku it is he you must fight. The men that killed your friends are the ones who serve him. They are misguided by him and his minions but you are no longer." He said with a sneer to his voice and an angered expression. "Listen little cub you will have to fight this battle for me for thou art no longer able to fight." He said and Jimmy saw for the first time another battle. This was like his battle but different. There where demons of all sorts and a grand army led by two demons in the front both of which had white hair on their heads. Jimmy could see that one of them has dog ears, "Thou see the ones who leads thy armies," he said and Jimmy could hear the shouts of the men as they called out orders. The humans and demons alike charged another group which Jimmy could see over in the distance consisting of mostly demons all of them looking very evil. "That time was the time of the great lords of the Demon world. Thou hast seen the last battle," said Wheng-Qi, "Why are you showing me this?" Jimmy asked confused, "Thy demon origins lay here in this battle ground. It is here that the blood trees where born and gave you your demon powers," "Blood Trees?" Jimmy asked, "Yes, now watch," he said and Jimmy watched as the battles that where fought went on forever. It was a never ending blood bath. Looking in the distance Jimmy could see what the ghost had meant when he saw its lifeless body on the ground and blood dripping out of the weapons that killed him. At the foot of the demon a single tree began to grow slowly and Jimmy could see the power that flowed from the plant. But that was not the thing that caught his eye it was the being beyond that. Looking over to the distance he could make out a young girl wearing a school uniform carrying a bow and arrow. She had a look of determination that was on her face. She positioned her bow and arrow and took aim. Jimmy could only hear one word, "NARAKU!" she called and let the arrow fly. The arrow was filled with a mystic light and hit its target in the heart. To the dismay of the girl she was also hit as well right through her in the heart. "An eye for an eye should we say," said the one called Naraku. Jimmy felt a heated hatred flow through him at the man before him. He could not understand a word the man was saying but he had some idea. And this angered Jimmy to no end, "Why is he killing all those people?" he said in a low voice, "All those who fight against thee are destroyed for he is one of pure evil almost like the devil himself." Said Wheng-Qi, "Why is he doing this?" Jimmy asked and as he asked the sky grew dark with an approaching storm. As the storm fell he could see the destruction that was plagued by the battle. Thousands of demons and humans alike where killed during this battle as Jimmy watched from the sidelines he could see the soldiers battle harder to fight off the armies of Naraku. Swords clashing, spears piercing, hand to hand fighting was going on in all sorts of styles. Jimmy began to cry as the battle drew to an end. In the end there was nothing but blood and bodies all of which had many wounds because most where demons. Among them where several Jimmy recognized, one was the girl from earlier and the two white haired ones. He could see their faces and it told him a lot about failure. "That was the price of our failure to protect the ones we love. These in front of thee are Inu-Yasha," he pointed to the one with the dog ears, "And the other is lord Sesshoumaru lord of the Western Japanese lands." He said and Jimmy could see where the two killed themselves. "Why did they kill themselves?" he asked, "It was because of Naraku and his evil that corrupted them and turned them against each other." Wheng-Qi said to Jimmy as he saw the grounds change to another more familiar ground. It was Jimmy's home town and he saw it being burned by himself as well as the others. "The paterns repeat themselves young Jimmy they are the same as the last battle and just as bloody except it is not a actual battle it is a slaughter of innocents take heed of this warning and avoid this confrontation again." he said and Jimmy saw the world fade into black.
Waking up Jimmy could see the sun shinning brightly through the bars of the cages. Sitting up he saw that he is not where he was suppose to be. Blinking the last of the sleep in his mind he looked around to find that the animals where eyeing him warily he did not want to be in the cage any more then they do. A growling in his stomach was all that Jimmy needed to let him know that he was hungry and wanted to catch something to eat. He heard a squeak nearby and saw a large rat scurrying for food. With lightning fast reflexes he snatches the mouse and ate it. Being in his tiger form it needs a lot more to be satisfied. He decided that the cage was made because he was in his tiger form and from looking around he was with other big cats as well including Lions, Leopards, and other Tigers as well. One tigress was eyeing him wearily for he was so large compared to her and her cubs. Jimmy then eyed the cubs all of them hiding behind their mother for protection. Jimmy then saw his predicament and shifted slowly to his human form. The tigress eyed him with curiosity this time as he looked to her and then to her cubs. She had never seen a tiger shift from a tiger to a boy. She slowly approached him and sniffed, her eyes widened when she smelt that he was nothing more then a cub himself. She gently picked him up from the neck and carried him over to the other end of the cage that he shared and began to clean him because he was filthy. "Hey, cut that out!" he laughed as her tongue stroked him intent on getting him cleaned.
Catherine was busy with the giraffe pen insisting that she accompany Trowa on one of his investigations was not an easy task but she reluctantly let him go after he called her. When he came back with a massive tiger Catherine was not surprise by the size of it and knew already that he was one of the legendary Shadow Assassins that they where talking about just like Justin. Speaking of that trouble making fox she wondered who he was doing with Wufei and all. Shaking her head to do the task that she needed to do she shove the pill down the Giraffe's tongue to get it to swallow. When it finally did she settled down to do other things such as get the tiger pens cleaned. When she got there she was in for a surprise for there sleeping on the hay with the tiger cubs was the form of a sleeping boy. His clothes where torn and bloody and his tiger tail twitched here and there. The stripes on his face made him look a little on the cute side. The boy only slept on in bliss and she smiled a bit. "Hey there Lila what do you have here?" she said pointing to Jimmy and the mother tiger moved so she could take Jimmy up and away from here. The tigress was more then happy to let the boy stay with the humans that care for it.
Jimmy awoke to a nice soft bed and a warm blanket on him. Getting up he felt a draft from the window and looked down to see that he had nothing on him. His stripped skin looks as if he has tattoos on it but he did not let that bother him too much. Looking around he saw a pair of clothes laying down on the chair for him. He started to walk out of bed when he noticed the bandages on his side and arms. They must have tended to my wounds who ever owned that tiger. He thought as he dressed himself.
Catherine walked in to the trailer, "Hello?" she asked and looked around, must still be asleep she though as she walked towards the rear of the trailer. Getting there she was shocked to find that the trailer was empty. "Hello?" she asked again and got no reply. She looked around and finally found the bandages torn and bloody on the floor. "I hope this one is not like Justin," she said to herself as she walked outside to the mess hall.
Soft feet padded on the earth as a small figure made his way towards the kitchen the smell of meat was in the air and he was hungry. Jimmy made his way towards the kitchens. He could see a man stirring a pot filled with stew but it was not that he was interested in. It was the pile of raw meat on the table. Creeping up to it he grabbed a stack and went off with it before the portly man would notice.
Catherine searched the whole of the circus finding Jimmy but could not even find a single sign of the tiger cub anywhere. That is until a scream was heard from the kitchen an angry scream and suddenly an orange and white blur zoomed past her on its way out of the kitchens. Catherine had to smile but turned to move to dodge a butcher knife where her feet were, "HEY WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING WITH THAT ANDREW YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME!" Catherine screamed at him and the one known as Andrew cringed. "Sorry Miss Bloom but that little monster ate all the meat that I was using for dinner." He said and Catherine had to chuckle at that. "You know that kid is going to have one serious stomach ache because of all the meat he just ate. Catherine had to laugh because of it. Walking away she muttered to herself of Andrews over reaction to everything. While walking she could hear something falling and decided to investigate. Walking over to one of the many booths where stuff from all over was stored she could make out a tail twitching under some things. Catherine carefully walked over to the hiding figure, "It is ok little one no one is going to hurt you," she said softly to the young tiger aware that it can attack her at any time. "It is ok," she cooed as she gently removed the boxes and other stuff hiding the cub. She then got a good look at the tail that connected to the body of a young boy. "Hey there little guy I am not going to hurt you I promise." She said and the boy stirred and looked at her with fear in his eyes. "Hey not it is ok I am not going to hurt you," she said but got a surprise reaction when the boy reared back and bared his fangs at her. He hissed at her with his hair up high. "Hey now," said Catherine and she reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of ham that she had taken from Andrew without getting him started. "Here want some," she said to the little demon that crawled closer to her and sniffed the meat before snatching it from her hand and ate it. It then came up to Catherine and began to lick the blood off of her other hand at the wound that she did not know she had. I must have cut myself when moving the stuff. She said and the boy licked her wound like a cat. She could feel his tongue stroking her skin and something wet landed on her hand. Jimmy saw the girl and picked up her scent as well reading that she was not there to harm him after he licked her wound. Then taking her hand within his he tore off the remains of his shirt and wrapped her hand and looked at her. She froze when he leaned in close and took in her scent and while he took in her scent he could smell the fresh animal dung on her as well as the shampoo that she uses. The girl was frozen for she did not know what Jimmy was going to do next until he began to purr like a kitten and rubbed his face against her. Catherine smiled when she heard the boy begin to purr and she stroked him gently. She was surprise that the boy was so soft. Careful of his claws she carried him out of the pile and placed him down on the ground. "Ok little man you are going to have to ask the next time you want food you understand." She said and the boy nodded, he is more behaved then Justin. She thought remembering all the pranks the fox pulled at the school she was staying at. That is until the dog demon destroyed it. "Hey there you wouldn't happen to know a fox demon by the name of Justin now would you?" she asked and the boy's face lit up. "You know Justin?" he asked and Catherine nodded, "Yep that little troublemaker fox got me and my friends into so much trouble with the school that we where at about a few months ago." She said and with that Jimmy looked up at her and she could see his emerald mixed with golden eyes for the first time. "Hey I know want to meet Trowa I am sure he is willing to meet you," she said and she began to walk away before turning, "By the way I did not get your name?" she said and Jimmy smiled, "I am Jimmy the tiger nice to meet you," he said, "Catherine Bloom head of the Bloom Circus." She said and Jimmy's eyes lit up, "Circus?" he said with a smile. "Yep circus," replied Catherine. Jimmy looked up and smiled at that thought at being in a circus that is until the shouting of a certain someone had to break the bubble. Turning back Jimmy saw that the chef that he stolen the meat from was not very happy to have a little boy come after him and standing up Jimmy ran as fast as he could go while the man came after him in a golf cart. "Andrew stop it!" Catherine cried as she ran after them. Jimmy ran as fast as he could when the man began to open fire on the young tiger. He leaped high over his head and did a back flip before landing on all fours. Getting up he took a fighting position. Andrew did a double take and came at him again. Jimmy leaped out of the way just in time before the cart disappeared into one of the tents. The shouts of many people could be heard as Jimmy ran into the tent. When he neared the tent he could pick up the scent of many people some of them are performers and animal trainers as well as the smell of other people. Lifting his head up Jimmy ran as fast as he could towards the tent. Nearing the tent he could see the chef on the ground nursing a broken arm. "You little monster!" he shouted at Jimmy and Jimmy went to him. "I am sorry sir it I ate all your raw meat." He said and the chef glared at him but saw the sincerity in his eyes. Then taking his arm Jimmy pulled it to the pain of the man who tried to fight back but the young demon would have none of it. Taking the arm he stroked it applied something to it. "I learned it from the monks in the mountains they helped me learn this." He said to the chef as Jimmy applied a bandage over the wound he made as well as a salve from his pockets. He applied the salve and the chef looked up at him. "Why are you helping me monster?" he asked, "Because long ago I was just like you a normal human being but now I learned in the five hundred years that I have been living." Replied Jimmy as he got up and the chef then looked around him and found that the tent was ruined. He also got glares from all the different people. "Sorry," he said and it was then that Jimmy got up and ran towards the objects of desire leaping up he quickly placed them back to how they originally was. The stunned audience could only watch as the tiger demon fixed everything except things that where broken to how it was. "There finished now can I go?" he asked "Um sure," said the headmaster as Jimmy ran out of the tent.
Several days past found Jimmy practicing with the other performers as usual since he was a freeloader by accident he might as well make use of it by working with the circus performers. Some he got along with fine like Andrew the Chef after he bandaged up his leg over a misunderstanding but some hated him like Carlos the strong man. Jimmy did not understand why Carlos did not like him just because the tiger boy could bend bars far better then he can. Jimmy's performance was that of an acrobat since his catlike abilities able him to leap higher then a normal human as well as run faster and his appearance did not require any makeup. Jimmy had not dreams of being in the circus but after what Catherine told him he might as well stay and wait for this so called 'Trowa,' to return.
A few more days passed and the circus was about to move again to the southern providences of China. Jimmy was glad to get out of that area for there where too many activities. Getting into one of the trucks Jimmy fastened his seatbelts he felt strange since the truck was so big. Beside him was Catherine who was driving she noticed the look on Jimmy's face, "What is wrong Jimmy?" she asked the tiger boy, "A lot of things," he said, "For starters I have never seen a truck this big before," he said, "Well normally these trucks carry mobile suits but we use them for the circus." Answered Catherine as she watched the road, "I am just curious what are mobile suits," he asked, "Well Justin was just like you when he asked that question and to answer it they are giant robots that we use for war." Catherine answered him with a sad expression. "What is it?" Jimmy said thinking that he somehow offended the nice lady, "Nothing I was just remembering the war," "Oh I heard about it from the monks. You said you met Justin can you tell me what he is like now?" Jimmy asked, "Well from what I know about him it was actually Relena who found him. Or he found her," she said with a smile at that memory of the troublesome fox.
Trowa in the meantime was in Southern China Canton to be exact. He was supposed to meet up with Wufei then catch up with the circus when they arrived. Looking from the restaurant window he finally could make out the slick black hair of Wufei and the man next to him. Taking out a whistle that only dogs could hear he blew into it and saw the smaller mans head turn to the whistle and then guided Wufei over to the restaurant window where Trowa was sitting. "So how did it go?" he asked the newly arrived duo. "We had some trouble in the Hong Kong Area but thanks to Justin that has been settled, but we found something else there as well." he said then turning to the boy, "We found demons hundreds of demons all lower class though but still to congregate in that area there has to be some sort of an explanation as to why the Avengers are associating with them." Justin said, "Demons? In China?" Trowa asked, "It seems so," Wufei said and gave his report the same as he said to Une the day before. "So it seems that the boy was a bit shy for the monks that took care of him did not know a word of English. So the boy was left without knowing anything except how to clean the temple. At night he would wonder the jungle protecting villagers and taking care of 'unwanted company'" was Trowa's report, "What about the monks?" Wufei asked, "They where killed in the last battle against the Avengers only Jimmy and I escaped," Trowa replied then turning his head to the fox boy as he stared out the window obviously spaced. He could see the worry in his eyes and knew already that the fox was thinking about him, "Justin," he asked the fox boy and Justin turned to him, "Mind telling us what Jimmy was like before all this happened?" he asked and Justin nodded, "He was a nag at first always bugging Mart to draw pictures. I was the pest and Steven was the hyper one. We all missed our friends during the war but because we had no control over out bodies we could do nothing." He said turning his gaze back to the window.
"And that is what happened," Catherine said finishing her story and saw to her amazement Jimmy was asleep in the passenger side. She smiled at the boy who slept peacefully on the seat and turned back to the wheel. Poor kid he is just like Justin just a kid who needs someone to help them find their way. She thought as she drove. Suddenly an explosion caused them to stop in their tracks. Jimmy woke with a start, "What was that?" he asked and Catherine shrugged, "I do not know one of the trucks up ahead exploded," she said that is until Jimmy pulled her down and taking off her seat belt. "Jimmy wha." she was stopped when Jimmy put his hand to her mouth to silence her and listened. The sounds of screaming could be heard as well as the distant roar could be heard over the noise of something overhead. Gunfire could be heard as well and Jimmy kept his profile low as he explained to Catherine to stay while he got to look outside. Creeping out of the truck he could smell the blood that was soaking the ground. Looking around Jimmy could see the bodies of the people all over as well as animals including the tigress and her cubs. Horrified he remembered the monastery where he was living for some time. "History repeats itself," he whispered. He could hear the cries of the survivors and turned to find one man wounded on his side gazing at him. It was Andrew the chef, "What happened?" Jimmy asked, "We where attacked by a monster and a few mobile suits," He said wincing, "Hold still," Jimmy said as he got some of the man's shirt off and used it as a tunicate. He found a few more survivors after that and dragged them over to where Andrew is before getting Catherine out of the truck. A scream was heard from the place where he left Catherine and Jimmy ran all the way back. "Catherine!" he called when he reached there he could see her backing away against one of the tires as the demon came down for her. "LET HER GO YOU ASSHOLE!" Jimmy charged as fast as his demon powers will let him. The demon turned to the new sound and was met with a fist to the face. The demon took the form of a giant insect a large spider to be exact and behind that were three mobile suits. Growling Jimmy attacked the demon with his claws out and slashed at the flesh again. The demon reacted with slashing at him while the mobile suits attacked by firing on the demon child. "No this one is mine!" the demon called as it slashed at the tiger cub again. Jimmy did a back flip and landed in a defense position. "You won't escape this time from Master Naraku Shadow Assassin," the Spider called as it let loose some silk at the tiger who was not fast enough to dodge. Jimmy was stuck as a web lodged on his leg and pulled. He tried to get out before more could get on him, "Jimmy!" Catherine cried as she tried to help the tiger cub. Jimmy struggled with all his might against the silk to no avail he was stuck. The spider having been satisfied with getting Jimmy moved in for the kill. That is until the tiger side swiped her with a sweeping kick knocking the arachnid to the ground. Furious the spider bit into Jimmy's side letting the tiger get away with a lot of pain. Jimmy was slowly losing consciousness to the spider's delight, "Foolish tiger do you think that just because you are a Shadow Assassin that you can out best me! Amesikamesh descendent of Ananzi the spider of Africa!" it boasted as it neared Jimmy and whacked Jimmy with one of its legs letting the cub fly into the nearest truck. "Amesikamesh you are ordered to get rid of these scum don't you remember," said one of the mobile suits and the spider turned, "Of course I remember human do not push me! I have some business to take care of Tiger and when I am done I will come back for you," With that the spider dashed away towards the humans on the other side of the truck. Catherine was among them as they ran leaving Jimmy to himself. The boy struggled for freedom but the poison got the better of him as he slipped into oblivion, "JIMMY!" a voice yelled and his eyes snapped up for a second and saw the spider approaching the others that it caught in its web. Trying to fight the poison Jimmy struggled even more. He was more determined then ever to fight the spider, "Don't move Shadow!" one of the suits said but the tiger struggled even more fighting off the poison and getting stronger.
Catherine was running for her life with Andrew on her back. She was not fast enough to get away when the spider caught her with its web. Falling she hit the ground hard Andrew screamed in pain as he rolled off of her. The spider was over her now its mouth and fangs where dripping with venom as it savored its new found taste. "At last I can have my feast," it said as it came closer. "HELP SOMEONE PLEASE!" she called to no one. "LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE YOU FUCKEN VAMPIRE!" someone shouted followed by gunfire from the mobile suits. They where followed by an explosion and someone leaping into the air.
Jimmy saw Catherine get caught in the web and tried to escape. Amesikamesh was closing in on her its fangs dripping venom. Without thinking Jimmy called all his powers together and felt a burning sensation overcome him. That fire was his anger as he burned through the webbing. Breaking free his arm shot out and a bow showed up out of nowhere to his surprise. Not caring he took aim with his arrows as soon as the mobile suits started to fire. Turning he saw an arrow also appears this one was made of flame as he took aim. Letting loose three fire arrows and the mobile suits exploded.
Catherine saw the tiger demon but what he was holding was the thing that surprised her it was a bow the kind used for war. Attached to it was an Arrow but what surprised her more was that it was flaming. Not just at the tip but all over. "Let her go you mother fucker!" he swore in a fowl language that Catherine did not know that he possessed. She saw his green eyes they where flaming with hatred. The boy took aim the arrow as the spider turned around. Its eight eyes widened to the sight of the fire arrows. "How is that possible? No one can escape my venom!" it cried, "Well sorry about that ass wipe but I have a giant spider attacking my friends and I am about to swat it with this over size slipper here." He said and the spider turned and spat out webbing at the tiger boy. Leaping away he fired an arrow. The spider seeing it again spat out more webbing but to its avail the arrow shot right through the webs and headed right towards it. The spider demon leaped away as the arrow hit the ground and exploded into dust and rock. Jimmy leaped after it as it came at his human friends again. He shot another arrow and this time it exploded in front of Catherine and that caused the spider to turn towards his enemy. Jimmy used that time to morph into his tiger form and encouraged Catherine and Andrew on his back and began to run. Pumping all the power he could muster into his legs Jimmy ran as fast as he could with the spider on his tail. He could hear the sounds of more mobile suits as they came crashing down. Two Aries and Taros mobile suits came chasing after them but the demon was not about to let them get him. Swinging from side to side he dodged bullets that came down in a shower of metal and fire. Dodging left and right the tiger avoided the fire that came from the skies. Having enough Jimmy dropped everyone off at a shelter and headed back at his enemies.
The spider Amesikamesh searched for the tiger, "Foolish cub you think you can hide from me," he said tracking the scent.
MEANWHILE IN CANTON
"Did you smell that?" Justin said to Trowa and Wufei as they where getting their clothes ready. "What is it Justin?" Wufei asked, "Someone is in trouble I can smell the blood from here," he said, "It is probably some murder in the city," said Trowa, "Let the police handle it," he shrugged, "No it is not that smell I smell," then his eyes went wide, "DEMON!" he yelled then leaped from the window, "JUSTIN!" Wufei shouted and ran to the window, "JUSTIN!" he shouted into the night.
Justin was running as fast as he could north towards the smell of a demon. The wind was coming from up north so that means the demon is coming from that direction. Running as fast as he could the fox was out doing traffic. Running as fast as he could the fox demon made his way towards the outskirts of the city. Justin had to get to that smell for he could smell something else as well something familiar.
At this time Amesikamesh found his way towards Jimmy who was covered in blood from the many blows that the spider gave to him. "Foolish tiger demon you think you can defeat the likes of me who has thousands of years more experience then you!" the spider said before unleashing another round of webbing that caught the weakened Jimmy. The spider then bit into the boy again releasing more venom then before. Screaming Jimmy never felt this amount of pain ever.
Riding in a jeep not far behind Justin, Wufei and Trowa where tracking the fox down. "He had sensed the demon from this far so that means that someone is in danger." Trowa said, "I know when he goes off like that that means that the demon must be working for the Avengers." Wufei stated, "But I can't believe that Justin forgot his weapon," he said looking at the rusted looking glaive in the back, "I just don't get it how can a rusted piece of crap become a very powerful weapon?" Trowa asked as they reached the outskirts of the city. "That weapon was forged by a demon by the name of Shippo he gave it to Justin as a gift." "Lets just hope that this weapon can get to the fox before what ever it is does." Trowa said.
TBC
I Know this chapter is long and I only mentioned the fire arrows for a brief moment but I am getting there.
