Chapter 17: Showdown

Right from the start, Akashi immediately came over towards those wolves and punched them out of the house, but the wolves weren't giving up without a fight until they get what they want and they're gonna show zero mercy. Akashi and Tigress was gonna take them down themselves and to make sure that they'll never gonna lay a hand on Max.

"There ain't no way you'll stop us from getting the kid. He's our property." one wolf member stated.

"I have a million and one ways to stop you from getting this cub and most of those involve a tiger and my sword." Akashi said, in a very serious tone.

Back in the house, Miyo went upstairs to bring Max and Saori out of their sight and to keep them safe while Taiga comes outside to join Tigress and Akashi for this big wolf/tiger fight and the lead wolf stated, "We ain't leaving until we get the cub."

"You might as well walk out with nothing then." Tigress growled.

The lead wolf scoffed and asked, "What are you gonna do about it, kitty cat?"

That was so wrong on so many levels and it brought to the point where Tigress punched the lead wolf straight to the jaw and all the other wolves joined up and started fighting Akashi, Taiga and Tigress. But the three of them did not hold back as they fought harder than ever. Tigress punched, clawed, slugged and slammed a quarter of those wolves into the ground and just gave them a huge kick to the jaw, groin, nose, face and hindquarters.

Taiga held nothing back as some of the wolves cornered him, yet they were not ready for what Taiga was actually capable of doing...he used some of his powers to strike them down and aimed them right to the heart and chest and as a result, the wolves were vulnerable towards Taiga. They looked at him with the most questionable look the minute they stared at him.

"Now what are you gonna do about it?" asked Taiga, snarling.

Most of the wolves cornered Taiga and proceeded to attack him, but Taiga wasn't having it. He gladly pummeled them and threw them high in the air that he climbed towards a tree and kicked them all with the use of his feet and sent them flying out of there.

Meanwhile, Akashi took down all of the wolves in no time as he punched, kicked, slammed, bit, clawed and threw them down as hard as they could. The other savage wolves wasn't gonna let themselves get defeated by some teen pup and they were serious business...but so was Akashi. One of the wolf members said, "Face it...the boss is gonna get that kid and there ain't nothing you can do about it."

"Fillmore, you idiot! You ain't supposed to tell!" one member barked.

Once Akashi finally got that info, he broke out his sword and struck on Fillmore's chest, causing him to fall down and the other wolves looked terrified by what they just saw and the minute they turned to Akashi, they realized that he's gonna strike them next.

"Anyone else?" asked Akashi.

And soon, Tigress and Taiga were taking down these wolves like it was no tomorrow and the lead wolf brought himself to sneak inside the house to find where Max is and Akashi followed him from behind and he's gonna stop him before he finds Max.

"It's a good thing my clones are handling the other wolves." Akashi whispered.

The lead wolf walked up the steps to find Max and he went through every room in the house, eager to find the cub and he slowly went towards a few more rooms and no Max was seen in sight, but he wasn't gonna give up that easily until he finds him and soon...he burst into another room and saw Miyo in there...hinting some suspicion that she's hiding them somewhere.

Miyo looked completely frightened, but is willing to fight him off to keep Max safe and the lead wolf walked up towards her and asked, "Where is the cub?"

"There's no cub here." Miyo answered.

The lead wolf wasn't buying it and knew that she was lying through her teeth and said, "Don't give me that. I know you have him here!"

"And what if I did?" asked Miyo.

"I got no time to play games with you. WHERE IS THE DAMN CUB?!" the lead wolf screamed.

"I don't have him!" Miyo shouted back.

With that, the lead wolf felt the need to just attack her until she gives in, but he doesn't know that Akashi is right behind him, ready to strike him down and the lead wolf said, "Have it your way."

The lead wolf raises his dagger to stab Miyo, but he got stabbed in the end and fell down from his knees and into the ground with a sword on his back and Miyo was relieved to see that it was Akashi responsible for slaying the lead wolf and he asked, "You okay?"

"What kept you?" asked Miyo.

Both of them went towards each other and kissed each other on the lips very passionately and their arms around each other, neither of them letting go. After that, Akashi asked, "Are they okay?"

Miyo opened up the closet door and told Max and Saori to come out and once they did, they immediately got hugged and he felt very happy that they're okay, especially with Max. Max looked up and asked Akashi, "Did you do that?"

"Yep." Akashi replied.

"Why?"

"Because I wanna keep you safe from harm...and like I said, I'm gonna protect you no matter what." Akashi answered.

It feels as if Max is gonna be happy here with Akashi, Miyo and Saori around and for the first time ever, he feels absolutely safe and that he has a new family and a new life...something to look forward to.
