It started with a Blitzleopard

by The obsessed thing

Huge fic project going on, not even sure when it'll end. It features all of the hunters! I'm very uncertain as to what to rate this, but I'm gonna slap an M on it for some adult themes which were mildy poked at, and it's under the genres Romance and Adventure because ofcourse, they'll be out on the hunt, and there -is- some romancing. Dangit, this is gonna go on for a while.

2. Not a Date

Hyde made his way to the room he'd been given, relinquishing the cub and placing it in the center of the bed. The blitzer cooed and purred, curling up, half asleep. A light knock could be heard at the door, Hyde had only just gotten in and already he was being pestered. "Gimme a break.." He grumbled quietly, opening the door and staring down at a curious Caira. "What do you want..." He grunted, not even saying it in a questioning manner. Caira peeked past to note the blitzer cub. "Well," She began, "I was wondering if you would uh, like a drink? I'm paying. You know, just a little thanks for earlier, when we were taking down the Kraken. You uh... Kind of-"

"Saved your life, yeah yeah, it was nothing." Hyde interrupted her, pausing briefly.

He'd forgotten about that in the heat of the moment, but looking back he remembered. Hyde had thought and moved quickly to switch on his personal shield and get between Caira and the Kraken, taking the full brunt of the monster's attacks. The moment was satisfying to him as during that time he got to melt the monster's face at the same time with a huge grin across his face, before it made a retreat and Griffin began chasing it down. He grabbed Caira by the wrist, pulling her up, he switched his shield off. They simply stared at each other, Caira nodded in acknowledgement, the two quickly moved alongside Hank, to catch up with Griffin.

"Haaaang on a minute, you're not taking me out on a date are you? I already told you, I ain't a bloody softy. I don't do that shit." He stared at her with a frown. She stared back at him, disappointed. Her eyes were big like a puppy's, she pushed her bottom lip out, and stared at him in a begging manner. Hyde grumbled and groaned, he'd given up. "Fine, alright, but I ain't acting like it's a date. Everyone'll think I'm a ponce.". Caira's face brightened up, she wrapped her hands around one of Hyde's wrists, tugging and pulling him. "Come on come on, let's go then!" She said, eagerly.

He groaned again as he let her drag him around. He turned his head to keep a check on the Blitzer, to which no surprise was still sleeping. He closed the door and they headed off back into the bar area where the majority of hunters were.
