WN: Sorry it took a long time. Here is the story!

Chp 7. - The Time before a Battle

Kathira is in the tight spot where Daiki has grabbed her arm and she can't get away. Her anger grows at his pursue of her and the nails of hers start to lengthen and turn a pearly pink.

"Let go of my arm you stupid wolf!" But the response was a tighter grip of her arm. She felt the blood turn blue and same goes for her arm. She couldn't take it any more. She wanted to find the one she wants as a lover but he was too thickheaded to see the absence of love for him.

She raises her hand , "Liquid Pearl Destroyer!" Her pearl nails slash at his seizing hand. He yells and pulls his hand away. He backs up in pain. He removes the hand over the one scratched as a clear liquid like substance is covering his cut and hand.

"What the heck is this?" He starts to scratch the liquid off but keeps on growing. He lets out a yelp and runs out of the cafeteria.

Nick slowly walks up to Kathira, "Kathira, what just happen?" He looks at her, now, normal nails but she still stares into space. She couldn't believe what just happen. She finally looks down.

"I don't know. I just don't know." She stares at her nails to see if they would change into the pearly color but didn't.

"So that is you attack, pretty good but still kind of weak." They all spin around to Misoka with his arm crossed his chest.

"What do you mean?" Ichigo shot up. She was friends with Kathira ever scene middle school and she knew a lot about us youkai and hanyou.

"In the past, every youkai had an attack or two special to the species but as time past the need for the attacks was useless. Most have forgotten their family powers but us youkai of inus or dogs have a special memory section in out brains that doesn't let us forget the attacks", taps his head near the forehead, "So we remembered them or make up new ones that are similar. But recently, our generation of other youkais are remembering the attacks so there will be trouble in the future."

"But if they are not suppose to though then how are they remembering their attacks?" asked Rikana.

He turns to her slowly, "I don't actually know how but they are."

Ichigo walks over to the others which are on the other side of the table, "If Kathira can use attacks, when does she accurately use them?"

He answers, "Mostly when she is angry." The all scoot away from Kathira with the fear of them getting all cut up on their minds.

Kathira gets irritated that they would think that she would attack them, "Hey!"

Misoka walks away but turns around, "Don't worry, only in a time of danger will the attack show itself. See you later." They all stare at the leaving form.

"Don't you think he is a bit dramatic?" Rikana asks as we sit back at our table.

"Yeah." We say in unison.

"I think that I like art the best of all." Kathira and the group were walking to their buses after and long and boring day of school.

"I like karate the most", Rikana shows her best karate punch with makes the tree crake. "Oops."

"Well, you are super strong, Rikana. You could beat anyone in a fight." Ichigo had a sad face on. She was not a very 'sporty' person so most of her talents went in drawing and writing. But if her drawings where to show the skill and power in a fight, she could beat Rikana every time.

"But your drawings kick butt!" Haruki snatches the green binder from Nick and waves it around.

"Hey! Give that back! I am not done looking at the pictures yet!" Nick chases Haruki for the drawing binder and made some eyes peer our way.

"Hey you guys stop it! People are looking at us and you guys will damage my drawings!" But the Haruki is thrown to the floor by Rikana's feet and a large ogre like creature had his massif hands on Ichigo's binder.

"Give that back!', yells Kathira.

His voice of rolling rocks pierced my ears, "Which one of you made Daiki cry like a baby?"

I walked in front of the group, "It was-", but Nick grabs my elbow and pulls me back.

"Nick?" I whisper.

"I am the one to sent that dude running. You want to fight me?" His grin shown a large fang which meant Nick was changing into a hanyou.

"Alright Shorty, meet me by the trash in two minutes but I will still have the binder." He walks to the back of the school. All of that could be seen of the friends were their enlarged eyes and dropping mouths.

"What the heck are you doing, Nick?" Rikana grabs him by the collar. Her are red with furry. Haruki gives her a hugs from behind, arms around the waist.

"Come on Rikana, no need to bring miss tough out on him-OW!" Yes, Nick didn't see Rikana's hurting but Haruki did. He was bumped and bruised all over.

"No touching Haruki! I am freak's cousin for crying out loud." Ichigo nodded with her noise statement.

"Well it was only to calm you down. Nick would have been killed but I am use to it. Wait, where is Nick?" We all look are and saw that Nick had disappeared.

"Oh man, he will be beat up badly. Ogre's are stronger than humans. We have to find him! Kathira can you find him?" They ask me this cause of my good nose. I already knew where he went but the scent is changing to his hanyou's.

I had to lie to them, "My nose isn't well today so I can't smell nothing." All of them decided to break up to look for him. When we were separated, I tracked the altering scent of Nick.
