Author is in a police back room. "I'm detective Orcot and you know where the count is. So where is he?" Author points to a stack of papers. "In my fan fiction." A voice then speaks up. "Then why didn't you give me credit?" Author looks at the figure. "Matsuri Akino! Ok, I get it. Look folks I don't own fruits basket or pet shop of horrors." He then points to the manga artist. "He's the one who owns the count and Tetsuio."

Chapter 22

Jon Talbain vs. Manta

After finally getting over the shock of what had just happened, Kyo spoke up. "So is Jon all talk or can he do some real cool moves? Tigoar laughed. "You haven't even seen him in his were form, believe me the fun is about to begin." He smiled on the out side but on the inside Tigoar was thinking of his battle to come.

Jon stepped into the ring and sized his opponent up. "Looks easy, but then again I haven't seen his other form." He smiled as he waited for the round to start. "I shall enjoy cutting you to pieces Mr. Talbain." Manta said as he got into his own style. Jon grinned. "So you know the mantas style then?" Manta shook his head. "No, this is my own style that I have trained with in the Amazon." "Fight." The announcer called and backed off. Mantas hand turned green for a second and he leapt at Jon. Jon backed off and noticed the slash in his pants immediately. "So you are an insect type are you? Let me take a guess, praying mantis." Manta smiled as both of his hands lengthened and turned a bright green. "That's right, but I'm not one for praying, I'm one for doing." He came at Jon again and slashed again and again. Jon then found himself in a corner.

Kyo looked annoyed. "I guess he is all talk, all he's doing is dodging. Why isn't he fighting back?" Ivan spoke up then. "Little wolf does not attack because he finds their weakness first, just you wait my little friend." Kyo shrugged. "If you say so, but he's cornered." Tigoar spoke. "Not quiet Kyo; you know what they say about a cornered animal."

"You have two choices, either you fall out, or get skewered by my blades." Jon smiled as he crouched low. "Not quite." He changed then, the sleek grey and white wolf fur ran down his body as he did a back flip kick. Manta was knocked off balance and Jon came at him after he had finished his flip. Manta flew as Jons right punch connected. Manta looked up at Jon through bug eyes; all 600 were coming his way. "Get away." Manta said as wings opened up out of his back. "Not yet." Jon said as grabbed one of mantas segmented legs. "Let go, let go." Manta screamed in anger as Jon started climbing up. Jon got up to where the wings were connected and smashed them with all of his strength. "Going down, tall dark and gruesome." After they hit Jon heel stomped one of mantas legs breaking it. Green stuff oozed out onto the ground. "I am not defeated yet, you son of a bitch." Manta growled as he started spinning like a top. "You should never insult ones mom with that insult, especially a werewolf's mom." Jon said as he leapt over the blades and broke off one of mantas jaw pieces. "In fact that insult said around a werewolf will most likely get you killed." Jon's fist came down on mantas neck. Manta at that point collapsed. "Jon Talbain wins." The announcer called to the crowd as they cheered. "Could we please get the cleanup crew out here?"

In the fighters area Jon walked by them and to a bathroom. "I got to get this stuff off before it stains my fur." Tigoar laughed as he patted Jon on the back. "Jon it looks like you're turning green with jealousy." "Yeah, ha, ha, very funny." Jon said sarcastically. "Man this guy's blood is sticky." The announcer called then. "Will broken heart and Tigoar please enter the ring? It is now your match."

Sorry it took so long, its just I have less than a week before anime central and I have to get my costume done. By the way that means no new chapter next week, cause I'll be partying up in Chicago.
