Unleashing the Power of the Werewolf King!
"So, all day of searching and no sighting of the behemoth anywhere." Kuriko sighed as she and the others are in the music room standing next to a piano.
"Nope, just some students being scared of the weird howling noise." Yuna said.
"It would that either the behemoth has already escaped school ground or perhaps someone is hiding it." Rin theorized.
"If the behemoth did escape the school, we would've heard about that on the news by now, so I'm gonna have to go with someone is hiding and maybe that person is responsible for summoning it." Kuriko said.'
"But who could it possibly be and why summon a behemoth here in the school?" Yuna asked.
"That I don't know, but perhaps I know someone who might shed some light on this mystery." Kuriko figured who could know about this.
"Who do you have in mind?" Kazuki asked curious.
"I think it's time we go visit the doctor." Kuriko said.
"Yes, that would most likely be a place where the phenomenon is and Dr. Akai being a suspect." Rin nodded.
"Umm…" Kazuki started thinking about something from earlier that he can't get his mind out of.
"Something the matter, Kazuki?" Yuna asked.
"Sorry, it just… earlier I ran into Yukihiko and Fasutofudo hanging out at the storage room. Apparently, they got themselves a cat and planning on selling it for some money." Kazuki informed.
"Seriously, doesn't that class have no shame of their greed?" Rin angered.
"But the thing is, I'm not entirely sure if it's really a cat they got in there." Kazuki mentioned.
"Not a cat you say." Kuriko interested in this.
"Yeah, the smell I got on it seems very different though does have some similarity of a cat, but not a normal one." Kazuki explained.
"I see. Yuna, Rin, I want you two to go check the storage room and find this cat." Kuriko ordered.
"Huh, you think those boys are up to something with the cat?" Yuna asked.
"I'm not sure, but it wouldn't hurt to look of what this "cat" really is." Kuriko stated.
"Alright, we'll go and inform you if we find anything." Rin agreed and walk out of the room with Yuna behind.
"Okay, now let see if the good doctor can tell us something about the behemoth." Kuriko smirked as she starts marching for the Doctor's office.
"I know Dr. Akai is very strange at times, but he's not that crazy to summon a behemoth… right?" Kazuki gulped, hoping that is not the case.
(Dr. Akai's Office)
"Okay, now let try and see if we can get him to talk." Kuriko said before opening the door.
"Coming in without knocking, how rude." Dr. Akai said.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Kuriko apologized playfully.
"H-Hello." Kazuki greeted nervously.
"So, what can I do for you?" Dr. Akai asked knowing they came here for something.
"Well, we just happen to be investigating that strange howling that everybody's been hearing in the school lately." Kuriko revealed.
"And well, we were wondering if you might know anything about it, sir." Kazuki added.
"I see, so you came here because I would be the most likely suspect." Dr. Akai realized.
"Yes, so would you let us investigate that room?" Kuriko pointed at the door with seal talismans.
"Wait, the forbidden room that no students are allow to enter or even look inside." Kazuki gasped.
"What make you think I have something in there worth investigating?" Dr. Akai asked as he can already tell that have searched the whole school before coming here.
"Don't play dumb with me, Kazuki's said he picked up a strange scent in this room and I believe that scent is the behemoth!" Kuriko proclaimed shocking Kazuki as he looks at the door.
"Among the S-Rank summon creatures, I believe the behemoth is consider the most brutal summoning them is against the law, isn't it?" Kuriko asked.
"Yes, if a behemoth becomes violent it will cause such a disturbance that the defense force will have to mobilize its counter magic team." Dr. Akai explained.
"But that doesn't have you in a panic at all, why is that? Is it because Kazuki is here?" Kuriko asked curious.
"Kazuki's magic is powerful, perhaps powerful enough to destroy a behemoth and you were hoping to use him to get ride of the beast, meaning the dreams he's been having were your doing." Kuriko declared shocking Kazuki most.
"Yes, it's true Kazuki's magic is powerful and the strength of a werewolf would him fearsome." Dr. Akai said as he walks to the forbidden door.
"So, let say there is a behemoth behind this door, what would you do about it?" Dr. Akai asked.
"Well, I was thinking maybe we can work on a deal." Kuriko smirked.
(With Yuna and Rin)
"Okay, here we are." Yuna and Rin standing in front of the door to the storage room with the sign that says "Keep Out" in Japanese.
"It looks like those boys don't want anyone finding out about this cat." Rin said feeling suspicious of this.
The two enter the room with Rin going in first with her sword out and ready as Yuna follow behind, so far, the room appears be normal and everything is quiet as the girls look around behind some boxes and under the desk.
"Nothing here." Yuna said, then she heard a rattling noise coming from one of the lockers and see a light coming out of the holes.
"What's that?' Yuna asked as she walk to the locker.
"Yuna, be careful!" Rin warned.
Yuna slowly approach the locker and reach her hand out to the handle, taking a quick deep breath and open the locker preparing for something, but see a small dark-blue furred cat inside a bucket.
"A cat?" Yuna confused as the cat jumps out of the locker.
"I guess this must be the cat Yukihiiko and Fasutofudo are going sell." Rin said looking at the cat as she gets a bad feeling about this cat.
"Aw, it's so cute! Here kitty, there's nothing to be scared of." Yuna said wanting to pet the cat.
The cat just looks at Yuna and its eyes started glowing red, Rin suddenly sense danger from this cat as something is about to happen.
"Yuna, get back!" Rin shouted.
The little cat start glowing red as it grew bigger into the size of a full-grown horse, growing sharper teeth and two long red horns. The girls became scared as they instantly knew one thing.
They found the behemoth and it wants to kill them now.
(Back at the Doctor's Office)
"You want me to work for you?" Dr. Akai asked after hearing Kuriko's offer.
"That's right, you can do all the research you want without worrying about anything and you'll be paid handsomely too." Kuriko said.
"I'm afraid I'll have to decline, I'm not very fond of being told by others." Dr. Akai refused the offer.
"Are you sure about that? I can label you as a criminal for summoning the behemoth and probably get thrown behind jar." Kuriko threatened.
"H-Hold on there, Kuriko, I don't think we need to go that far." Kazuki said.
Then suddenly Kazuki and Kuriko heard ringing in their heads because someone is using telepathic to call them and they answer to hear who it is.
"GUYS! HELLLP?!" Yuna screamed.
"Yuna, is everything alright and what's that growling sound?" Kazuki asked becoming worry.
"We found the behemoth and got caught on its horns, it's running through the school!" Yuna informed shocking the two.
"Hold on, you actually found the behemoth?" Kuriko shocked.
"It was actually a small cat at first until it transformed into its true form!" Yuna mentioned.
"Then that means those idiots somehow found a behemoth to sell it, are those two-fucking crazy!" Kazuki snapped, swearing the next time he sees Yukihiiko and Fasutofudo they're dead.
"Also, you guys might want to clear the way!" Yuna said confusing them a bit, until they heard loud rushing footsteps.
Kazuki check outside of the office gasps of seeing Yuna and Rin caught on the behemoth's horn as it charges at the doctor's office.
"Oh no!" Kazuki shouted as he and Kuriko clear the way before the behemoth crashes through into the office with Yuna and Rin off the horns.
"Wait, if there's a behemoth here then… what about that door?" Kazuki asked.
"Well, it just as Kuriko's said." Dr. Akai opened the door letting out another behemoth.
"There are two behemoths?!" Kuriko scared.
"I can promise you that I only managed to capture one, I didn't really know there were two of them and I didn't summon them either." Dr. Akai stated his claims.
"Then who did?" Kuriko demanded.
"I haven't gotten that far yet, the only thing I do know is that those behemoths were summoned at once." Dr. Akai mentioned.
"Whether you are lying or not, I won't let Kazuki use his magic!" Kuriko said as she jumps on top of a bed and the two behemoths are slowly coming toward her.
"Oh, this is bad." Kuriko worried.
"It looks like they've taken an interest in you." Dr. Akai pointed out, probably due to Kuriko having strong magic power and huge numbers of magic counts.
"K-Kuriko…" Kazuki worried for her.
"Don't worry, these beasts don't know who they're messing with and they're about to find out the hard way. If I can capture them then you won't have use your magic." Kuriko said with confident and jump up with talisman in her hands ready for action.
Kuriko throws her talismans as she cast her magic power on them and they transformed into dozens of little fire birds diving down toward the behemoths, but when they made contact and explode the two beasts are seen completely fine as Kuriko's attack didn't nothing to them much to the rich girl's shock.
"Tough luck, even the excellent magic of the Kazetsubaki family is no match for the behemoths." Dr. Akaki sighed.
Kuriko try changing her talismans into lightning bolts shooting them at the behemoth, but they did nothing too as they come closer to her forcing her back against the wall.
"Please, Doctor! You got to save her!" Kazuki begged as he grabs the doctor's coat.
"Even if you beg me a thousand times to help her, I'm afraid that I'm still exhausted from using all my strength to contain just one." Dr. Akai sadly informed.
Kazuki looks at the behemoths are getting closer to Kuriko and one of them even slashes her shirt open along with her bra exposing her front skin, as Kuriko felt fear consuming her mind being more scared than she felt in years. There are so many things she wanted to do before death like running the family business and making it more successfully than anyone of the previous generations, and then her mind started thinking more about Kazuki remembering him being a sweet guy and being kind to others even to her when all she wanted was his genies.
"Kazuki Shikimori, you are the only one in the world who can save her from the behemoth right now." Dr. Akai said.
"Me… I'm the only one?" Kazuki surprised of Dr. Akai having such fate in him.
"Yes, remember you don't have just powerful magic, you have the power of a werewolf in you and as the Werewolf King you are the strongest to take those behemoths down." Dr. Akai encouraged the boy to embrace more of his werewolf powers.
Kazuki look at Kuriko and the behemoths again, still feeling scared of those behemoths but he couldn't let Kuriko get killed like this and he actually started to like her too, then he felt something deep inside himself as his heart start pumping stronger as if it's telling him to go save her. The fear in Kazuki's mind is now replace with anger of those behemoth trying to hurt Kuriko in front of them and he couldn't stand for this, with a faint golden-white aura all over his body.
Just as the two behemoths were about to pounce on her, they stop and look back staring at Kazuki giving off a dangerous feeling the behemoths can feel.
"You two… get away… from Kuriko, right now!" Kazuki demanded as he growls.
"K… Kazuki?" Kuriko surprised to see him like this.
The two behemoths take it as a challenge, and they roar at the wolf boy.
"Come and get me, you damn furballs!" Kazuki taunted.
"Kazuki, no!" Kuriko scared that the behemoth will kill him.
One behemoth took the first charge and its teeth were about to make contact with the flesh when the dark-blue beast suddenly got slammed down to the floor by Kazuki's hand and creating cracks from the impact, the second behemoth jump at the boy while he is pinning down the other one. However, Kazuki saw that coming and snaps one horn from the down behemoth and slash at the neck deep to kill it, jump at the second beast as he impales the broken horn up through the skull and the brain killing it in one blow then slams the corpse right on top of the other.
Kazuki stands on top of the two dead behemoth and howls loud for a victory yell, Kuriko became shock that Kazuki was able to beat those monsters without using his magic at all and show that he is much stronger as a werewolf than she thought while her heart beats a little faster.
"Well done." Dr. Akai smiled.
(Kazetsubaki House, Bathtub)
"It would seem the behemoth came through a distortion of space, probably caused when the dormitories joined together." Elizabeth explained to Kuriko as she sits in the bath.
"I'm glad father was able to deal with them, that just shows how strong he is as the Werewolf King." Elizabeth believed.
Kuriko just look down staring at the warm water while thinking about how brave Kazuki and showing he cares for her when he fought those behemoths to save her life.
"Oh mother, have you fallen for him for real?" Elizabeth asked exciting being close Kuriko which spook her a little.
"W-While I admit, Kazuki is a good boy, I'm only interested in his genies." Kuriko proclaimed.
"You say that now, but I bet your heart is saying different things about how you really feel for father." Elizabeth said in a teasing tone.
As much as Kuriko wanted to tell her ghost daughter otherwise, she knew that Elizabeth was right, and she can feel her heart wanting Kazuki as she hides her little blush.
(The Next Day)
"So, all this time you were keeping a dangerous behemoth in school. Do you two have any idea how much trouble you're in?!" Kari yelled at Yukihiko and Fasutofudo as they sit on their knees.
"We're really sorry!" They apologized at the same time.
"You both are lucky no one was got, or better yet killed, so as your punishment you two will spent a full 24 hours sitting like that." Kair declared as she used her magic on them to keeps them there like their knees are glued to the floor.
"But Miss Iba, what if we get and have to go to the bathroom?" Yukihiko asked.
"You'll just have to endure it. Oh, and I called your buyer telling him the behemoth was killed and you boys are "happily" giving him a full refund." Kari informed making the boys go pale.
"NOOOOOOO?!"
