The guardian
Chapter 30
Tigoars rage
Up in the stands Shigure watched the two go at it. "It's strange, but I feel as though I'm watching yin and yang fight. The tiger vs. the dragon. Heaven and earth. They truly are in a battle that neither can win." He put his hand to his chin as Aya spoke "neither will stop until the other dies. Yet it also seems like a battle between good and evil." Yuki and Tohru watched as well. "So this is what he is really like." Yuki said to Tohru. "He's scary." Momichi said as he watched them plummet to the ground. Tohru started to get up. "Where are you going?" Haru asked her. "I want to talk to him and Kyo." She said to them. "We will go with you." Yuki said as he, Haru, and the timid Ritsue got up and followed her. Haru looked at him for a moment. "I'm surprised you're coming." He said to Ritsue. "For once, I want to be brave." He said with a little less timid ness. Haru could see he was holding onto a strange pendent.
Both were breathing heavily. Draco moved forward and tried to breathe fire again. He was shock when Tigoar rammed his hand through the mouth and down his throat. He couldn't breath then, he also felt a ripping sensation as Tigoar shredded the piece that caused his fire. He bit down o tigoars arm. Tigoar roared as he brought his clawed foot forward and smashed in the Dracos stomach. Draco gasped, and Tigoar brought his fist out. He backed off then and shook his head, his eyes began to glow red. All that Tigoar could feel was the hunger rise from the depths of his mind. Any thing that was human then was lost as the tiger lept at the dragon. He ripped open the jugular as the dragon slashed at the belly. Both became entangled and began to roll around. The arena was becoming slick with the intermixing blood.
"We have to stop them!" Tohru said as she hurried down the arena steps, the others followed. They made it to the end and a large man stepped in their way. "I can not allow spectators any farther. Please return to your seats." He said as he crossed his harms over his broad chest. "Please I must be let through." She begged. Surprisingly Ritsue stepped forward. "Could you pretty, please let us through?" He was still holding on to the pendent when Yuki finally figured out what to do. 'We need a distraction and the only one that could do it right is…' he moved forward and grabbed the pendent. Right as the pendent left his hands, the psychological trick broke. "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!" He began to bounce around and it startled the guard. He moved to help stop the boy but flailing arms blocked and kept him busy. It was then that Yuki chopped the back of the guys head. "Problem solved, now let's hurry." Haru said as he grabbed the still apologizing Ritsue.
In the fighters area Jon watched intensely. "It's not possible; I didn't think you would be one of the one's to do it." He whispered out loud. Kyo heard him. "Do what? He's kicking ass out there." He protested. Jon shook his head. "He may be winning but inside he's loosing the fight. Inside every one of us is a blood thirsty animal that awakens in the heat of battle, a rage, and a berserker. Tigoars gone feral, it's taken him. He'll kill anyone that stands in his way." He growled as he changed into his were wolf form. "We have to wake him back up." He started to exit the area, he turned before he left. "Before it's too late." Kyo followed in suit.
A fore paw smashed Dracos face. He wound's weren't closing up fast enough, the blood could not replenish it's self. Tigoar continued to tear into his flesh; in fact he was in full tiger form now. "I…." he groaned. "I, give." He said in a whisper as Tigoar smashed him again. Inside the beast was in complete control. It backed away then. The prey had stopped fighting. Now it was boring, but off to the left more prey was coming. A little dog and a human thing. The sounds they made didn't make sense. He started for them, the hunger to hurt coming on strong again. The ref unaware of what was going on called out. "Draco has submitted, so Tigoar is our winner."
Tohru ran to the arenas edge and called out to the large cat. "Stop it, please stop it." The tiger stopped then but just for a moment. The cries had twinged the mind, but it had faded. It heard the voice of something then. Something familiar, a face came into view. It was of one of the human's, yet he could not hurt it. This one was soothing yet strong. "Come on Sean, you're stronger than this. Let it go." The voice seemed to whisper. It was strange, the ones that had been prey were all calling to him, yet now he could understand them. The rage began to dissipate as Seans mind began to come forward from the madness. He roared and reared up onto his hind legs. His form then changed into his human self. He turned and looked at the still bleeding Draco; the vengeance though was gone from his eyes. "You have been avenged friend." He said as he walked down from the steps and hugged Tohru. "I have you to thank for this."
The announcer then spoke and now for the second to last fight. Just let us do a little mopping." He said as they took Draco away on a stretcher. The mess was soon cleaned up. "And now will Kyo Sohma and Jon Taliban please make their way to the floor."
