Last of the three short chapters, could I have put this part in the previous chapter, yes, yes I could, but I accidentally miscounted the order of the chapters and thought a bigger one came before this one.
the reason Gouhin isn't using weapons from the manga is because it makes it more impressive that a panda is beating close to 25 Lions with his bare fists and a crossbow.
I could feel the stare of the cold steel, is this what it's like, to have a gun pointed at you? The knowledge that any wrong move, could be your last… it was freezing.
Before I even reacted, Gouhin punched the lion in the face, wrestling the gun away before taking the lion down. More would be alerted soon, so we ran through the gate. This… feeling as I pushed my legs to run. As Gouhin wrestled one and I took one down.
"Go on!" the panda shouted as he wrestled the third one in the entrance down, I ran into the door. it's double doors wide open despite the rain. Three lions inside, their stares were unforgiving, I'd imagine, it was the same stare I had on my face… the face of a carnivore.
I lunged, my claws raking blood from the sternum of the first Lion, before I grappled with the second. The third, his large stick beating me in the back forcing me to roll onto the ground. Getting up, the pain negligible, although probably only because of the adrenaline, the third one collapses to the ground with a bamboo arrow in his chest, with Gouhin grappling the last one standing.
Running up the stairs, a lion at the top is bowled over and thrown over my shoulder, crashing down to the last floor. The other three at the top are apparently more prepared, as I was punched in the sternum, their strength throwing all my breath out back whence it came. Gouhin came up the stairs and threw him off before getting punched in the nose. Crap… that's his sensitive part isn't it?
I had to take the punch instead of him, I couldn't beat all three without him. Despite standing my ground, my cheek still hurt, and with the small pause that my daze required of me, I got my throat grabbed, his hand kept squeezing. Air wouldn't enter my lungs… and Gouhin was stuck fighting the other two… my vision was going dark at the edges...
Haru… your scent… was he rough on you? Did you show him your strength, even if it was futile? I can't stop here… I want to see… those eyes, one more time.
"hey, what are you doing you creep? Stop sniffing-" the lions words were stopped in his throat as I banged my forehead into his nose. Blood poured from his nose and mouth, probably having bit his tongue. He fell to the floor, as I punched the Lion grappling Gouhin, he went down already beaten pretty badly already. He grabbed the last.
"Go on! Save the girl you love!" he shouted, I looked at him before nodding, running up the next flight of stairs. There was no time to correct him… Haru… I'm coming!
The room was dark. The moonlight coming through the windows. The Lion's cane was off to the wall… He was over Haru. His large hand pulling her ears! He's hurting her! The cane was next to me, I always wondered why the original hit him with it. But with little time, I grabbed it, it was pretty big, more the size of a baseball bat. As I swung, there was the resistance of glass, as the swing was too tall, hitting the chandelier, but it did nothing to stop my swing. It connected solidly with the big lions head, sending him sprawling…
Haru! I'm here..! This world, I won't allow it to swallow you! The glass shards falling around us. Her body was so small. It was naked, showing a body without blemishes. Absolutely white, like a new world.
"Oh, it's you..." yeah… it's me. I started taking off my jacket, not wasting any time, since I knew that the lion boss wasn't down. Throwing it upon Haru's form. Just in time to stop the lions pounce and throw him off.
"why did you come?!" why did I come? Where do I start?
"A lots of reasons, tell you later!" I yelled, the lion pounced once more, we grappled upon the ground, our claws creating tears in our clothing. I can't lose. These claws… these fangs… I woke up with them… They're only for her, they're only to keep her safe! My body is bruised and bloody, but Haru… this isn't love… it's desire! it's selfish, it's hideous, but I cannot deny it!
I don't regret becoming who I am… all I regret, is that I ran for so long. I'm done! With a lung, my jaw went as wide as possible. Sticking my wrist inside the lions mouth as I bit down upon his collar. Our snarls the only sound filling the room, as I tore a chunk of his disgusting, nauseating flesh from him. His bite loosened, his struggles stopping.
My eyes must have said something my body, covered in blood, did not, for standing over this alpha lion, mouth colored purple with blood, I probably looked like a monster, a pure carnivore, I held out my hand, desperate for her to take it, but I would understand if she didn't, for I'm not Legosi… I'm just a gray wolf.
The touch that greeted my hand, brightened up this gray and solemn night. She took it, her small hand, completely covered in my own.
My body felt heavy, it was a cold night. As we walked out of that building…
