This was a pain in the butt to write. Not to mention that I got distracted by the latest art of Poppy Playtime and the Smiling Critters, and working my ass off to try and save up for my car's repairs :/

Anyway, I hope you enjoy Chapter 9/10, since it's chapter 10 over on ao3 and Wattpad but chapter 9 here...heh heh...

The next day brought about another bit of sad news from the next city over, Zebuth City: a young antelope girl was devoured by a roaming group of canines. The headlines being blared out loud on the television soured the otherwise quiet, cheery mood in the main building's rec room, where Legoshi, Jack, and Durham played an obscure board game with a pair of herbivores. The pair subsequently left the lounge, resigning despite Jack saying they (the herbivore pair) would have won in the next couple of moves. The discouraged labrador whined sadly while Legoshi and Durham comforted the young canine, with the coyote saying that it was not anything they hadn't seen before. However, it did little to perk up the labrador, even as Legoshi hugged her and kissed the top of her head and both her ears.

Later, the three separated, with Jack and Durham heading back to 701. At the same time, Legoshi went to the cafeteria for a quick bite before going to the drama club building for another meeting. On his way to the cafeteria, however, Legoshi happened across a rather unsavory sight before him: a trio of carnivore students harassing a fourth, canid-like student. The trio was a female raccoon, a female eagle, and a dark-furred lioness Legoshi had never seen before (then again, he rarely interacted with other students, especially after what happened a month ago), with the first two having a vice-like grip on whoever it was they were harassing and the third appearing as if she didn't know what to do in this situation.

The young wolf sighed and crossed his arms as he thought about how to go about handling this situation. He had to be careful of the lioness, even though he was slightly larger than her, and she looked like she didn't want to get involved. But if she did, Legoshi had to mind her claws and teeth if his experience on the stage with Belle had anything to say about it. Then there was the eagle. She wasn't much of a threat unless she removed her shoes and used her razor-sharp talons. On top of that, Legoshi had to take care so the fourth student, the victim, was not injured in the process.

On the other hand, he could avoid violence altogether and use diplomacy to defuse the situation. However, his social skills weren't as apt as Legoshi would have liked, which would have been a problem if he had taken the diplomatic route. As his brain wracked together a plan, Legoshi's thoughts were interrupted when the eagle noticed him and shouted at the wolf.

"Hey! You! What are you standing there and looking at me for, creep? Looking to score another couple of females for your harem?"

Legoshi froze and stared at the eagle, dumbstruck. He had been hoping to avoid confrontations like this and maybe scare them off with his intimidating presence. But ever since his exposure to the public eye in the past month, he no longer appeared to be a 'scary wolf.' Legoshi sighed and approached the pair, with the raccoon releasing the fourth student and taking her place beside the eagle while the lioness cowered slightly behind them. Legoshi stopped in front of the eagle and said calmly, "No, I'm not. I'm just…" he paused and then pointed at the staircase where the fourth student, sobbing quietly, lay on the floor. "I'm here to keep you from hurting my sister. I…I don't really appreciate people bullying her for no reason."

The eagle blinked as she looked between Legoshi and the other girl on the floor before sneering at the former and getting up in his face. "That's not your sister, you perv. You don't look anything like each other."

Confused, Legoshi looked down at the supposed wolf on the floor and gulped when he realized the eagle was speaking the truth. The girl was a wolf but looked unlike anything Legoshi had seen. She had brownish-red fur with fluffy, drooping ears and purple eyes, and part of her uniform had been torn from the shoulder down across the front, showing off a substantial amount of her generous bust held back by a lacy maroon/dark-pinkish bra with white frills. While she looked very pretty, Legoshi couldn't ignore that the wolfess looked nothing like him. And so, he hastily thought up an excuse.

"Well," he began, staring at the wolf girl for a moment longer before turning to the eagle and raccoon with a sheepish smile. "She, uh, she takes after our mother, and I take after our father. She's a, uh, special case compared to the rest of our siblings and family."

"Hmm," the eagle said, her face twisting into a look of doubt as she glared scrutinizingly at Legoshi before she sighed, shook her head, and brushed past him, the raccoon and lioness cowering behind her, following closely. "Fine, whatever. We were getting bored of her anyway. Come on, Stacy, Agata. Let's get out of here."

Once the three bullies had left, Legoshi turned to the wolf girl and got down on his knees to her eye level, putting on a reassuring, friendly smile. "Hey," he said, extending a large hand to her. "Are you okay? They didn't hurt you too badly, did they?"

The wolf girl sniffed, her purple eyes brimming with unshed tears as she looked up at him pitifully. It almost broke Legoshi's heart to see a beautiful girl like her in this state. "N-no," she said, her wavering voice barely above a whisper. "I-I'm fine. They just tore my uniform. They didn't actually hurt me."

"That's…That's good," Legoshi said with a relieved sigh.

"Are…are you going to take me and make me a part of your harem like that other girl said?" the wolfess suddenly asked, her voice mixed with a hint of apprehension and…hopefulness?

Legoshi promptly shook his head, dismissing it as a trick of the mind, and offered his hand to her. The wolfess hesitantly accepted it, and Legoshi pulled her to her feet. "No, of course not. I…I don't really consider it a harem, actually. Just…Just a few good friends hanging out, only they're all girls, and I'm the only guy." He chuckled sheepishly as he released the wolfess's hand and rubbed the back of his neck.

She tilted her head as she looked at him with those dazzling purple eyes, full of pure innocence that reminded Legoshi of himself before he reached puberty, and reality smacked him in the face with a brick. "Are you sure? Because that's what everyone says you're doing, building a harem."

Legoshi shrugged indifferently. "Well, don't believe everything the masses say. We're just friends hanging out, and that little 'incident' from a month ago happened by pure circumstance. I didn't mean for it to occur, but it did, and I don't regret it. Most importantly, I don't care what other people say about me or my friends." He shrugged again. "I stopped doing that long ago and couldn't be happier about it."

Again, the wolf girl was confused by Legoshi's words, as if she could not comprehend his logic. 'And she wouldn't be the first,' Legoshi mused. "R-really? But…how can you do that so easily? Don't their words hurt you?"

"I'm used to it," Legoshi simply replied, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "I don't mean to sound rude or condescending here, but you should, too. Things will only get tougher and worse as you go through each school year. I had to deal with that when I first came here, but with the help of my friends and parents, I managed to ignore everyone who judged me and live my life how I want it."

The girl's bright eyes dimmed slightly when he finished, and she frowned as she suddenly collapsed to the ground and sat down with her back against the wall. "You…you mean I have to get used to being bullied every day for the rest of my life just because of what species I am?" She shook her head in denial, tears brimming around her eyes. "Why? That…that's not fair!"

Legoshi sighed, taking pity on the girl, and sat beside her, placing a hand on her shoulder and squeezing it softly. "Hey, it's okay. That's just the way our society works. There…there's barely anything we can do about it. Except keep our head held high, of course." He shrugged and removed his hand from her shoulder. "But that's just me. I'm sure you'll figure out a way to handle it."

Legoshi then rose to his feet, dusted himself off, and was about to leave when he felt something tug on his shirt. He paused and looked back to see the wolf girl holding him back, unshed tears still brimming in her purple eyes. "W-wait!" she said before blushing and releasing her hold on Legoshi, rising to her feet as well. "You…you're Legoshi, right? From the art department?"

Legoshi nodded. "Yes, I am." Then he tilted his head. "Why do you ask?"

The wolf girl sniffled and wiped her eyes dry before saying, "I'm Juno, and I just transferred over to Cherryton. I…I'm also in the Drama Club."

Legoshi smiled warmly and noticed the girl, Juno, blushing slightly at the sight of it. "Nice to meet you, Juno. You'll love Drama Club; many members there are really friendly."

Juno smiled weakly and nodded. "Y-yeah, I know. I'm on the actor's team, and Sheila was the one who told me that there was another gray wolf in the club, a male wolf, who was very kind." Juno's smile grew in size and strength as she felt more confident around Legoshi. "And I'm happy to see that you actually are, despite what those nasty rumors are saying."

Legoshi felt his cheeks warm slightly at that, and he scratched the back of his head, chuckling softly. "Oh, well, it's no big deal. I…I try my best to help out as much as I can. As for those rumors, there's not really much I can do about them." He shrugged. "I just ignore it, all things considered."

"O-okay," Juno said, her ears drooping as she lowered her gaze to the floor before immediately perking up and suddenly exclaiming, "W-well! Since we're officially acquainted, and we're both gray wolves, maybe we don't have to be so formal!"

Legoshi was taken aback by her spiel, but she did have a good point; he did tend to sound a bit proper when meeting new people, especially if they had just joined the club. Or the school itself. "Y-yeah, I guess," Legoshi murmured. "Then, in that case, will you be at the meeting today?"

Juno quickly shook her head, her massive bosom jiggling slightly from the movement (and briefly drawing Legoshi's attention before he quickly looked away and at Juno's eyes). "Mm-mm. I think it's only for the sophomores."

Legoshi nodded. "Okay. Well, it was nice meeting you, Juno. I hope to see you at practice in the future. You seem like a nice girl. And, if you need help or someone is giving you trouble, let me know. I'd be more than happy to help."

After the two wolves parted ways, Legoshi decided to forgo his trip to the cafeteria for a light lunch and headed straight for the Drama Club building instead. Once there, he entered the practice room and was surprised to find only a tiny number of second-years attending, which gave the wolf an idea of how many first-years, third-years, and fourth-years made up the rest of the club members. Belle, Tao, Aoba, Ellen, and an unnamed squirrel girl who occasionally enlisted Legoshi to be her personal nutcracker, all sat together in front of a giant glass mirror while Louise stood off to the side with Sanu next to her. All of them looked up when Legoshi entered, and the wolf felt himself rooted to the spot and didn't move until Louise requested for him to sit down with the others. Legoshi nodded and wordlessly walked over to the group and sat down between Aoba and Belle, with the latter scooting over some and avoiding looking at him.

Sanu then cleared his throat and began. "Well, now that everyone is here, I have a few things to review regarding the Meteor Festival. As you all know, there have been a few incidents in the past few days, and, as a result, the herbivores of Drama Club will stay behind while the preparations take place." From Legoshi's left, he heard Ellen and the squirrel girl let out disappointed moans. But Sanu ignored them and continued reading from his clipboard. "That is why the carnivore students will handle the majority of making arrangements with the activity supervisors to finalize everything before the festival, and everyone will arrive in the next few days. Now," he paused, adjusting his glasses and looking at the six members. "Are there any questions? No? Good. This meeting is–"

"Far from over," Louise suddenly said, pushing off the wall and giving Tao, Aoba, Legoshi, and Belle especially a warning glare. "Even though those devouring incidents happened in Zebuth City, which is only a few hours away, that doesn't mean you can walk around without a care. You need to remain vigilant, as many unsavory characters out there'd like nothing more than to use you for nefarious purposes. Especially if you venture too deep into the city. Oh, and one more thing," Louise narrowed her eyes fiercely. "Do not, under any circumstances, go to the Black Market. Even though you're all carnivores, don't think for a moment that those who reside there won't turn you into their next meal. I'd rather not lose another fellow student to a predation incident."

With that ominous message, the antlered doe then went into her office and shut the door behind her, leaving her clubmates curiously pondering her words:

"Black…Market?"

Later that night, Legoshi met with Mizuchi and Haru to discuss their plan regarding Kaito, Mizuchi's ex-boyfriend. Initially, the idea called for the wolf to pose as Mizuchi's new boyfriend and make Kaito jealous and regret not keeping it in his pants by sleeping with not just Haru but a few other rabbits - much to Mizuchi's chagrin. But after that discovery, the Harlequin rabbit decided to make a last-minute change to the plan out of spite. Instead of merely posing as her boyfriend and just sticking close to her, Legoshi would have to try to sell the act. When he asked what she meant by that, Mizuchi simply and bluntly stated that they would have to kiss on occasion. And not just some, in her words, "half-assed" kiss on the cheek, but full-on mouth-to-mouth action. Legoshi blushed at the notion and vainly attempted to hide his reddening face while Haru was cackling like a madwoman.

With the new details added to the plan, the odd trio bade each other good night. But not before Mizuchi and Haru gave Legoshi a parting gift on each cheek and ran off to the herbivore dorm, squealing and giggling like schoolgirls. Legoshi was left too stunned to comprehend what was happening. But he eventually snapped out of it and returned to the carnivore dorm and his room, where Jack and the other girls welcomed him with open arms and a flurry of kisses…

…Which quickly grew out of control and turned into sloppy blowjobs. The girls and Legoshi himself were surprised by his stamina after all five girls had earned their fill, and the wolf was still raring to go. Durham was tempted to suggest that they properly finish Legoshi off with some proper sex. Still, everyone was quick to remind her that it was late, Legoshi needed to wake up early to head into the city for Drama Club, and Gon and Housemother Yama would have their asses if they tried anything else; blowjobs were cutting it pretty close anyway. Outvoted by her roommates, the dejected coyote relented and instead opted to snuggle with her wolf-sized pillow alongside everyone else, much to Legoshi's relief, with her eyes fixed on the nine inches of his cock still out in the open air.

The following day, Legoshi and his fellow carnivores from Drama Club were taking the train to downtown Denko, where they'd head to the city park and meet up with the event organizers and supervisors to help set things up for the coming week. After a few long hours of talking and setting things up, Legoshi, Aoba, Tao, and Belle set out to see the rest of the city. The first thing was supper, as lunch was served during the meeting. The group found themselves at a humble fast-food restaurant, and they took their time to enjoy their meals. After all, this was one of the few times they'd be allowed into the city until summer break.

However, Legoshi had preferred if they'd eaten in silence so he wouldn't have to listen to Belle boasting about her sexual exploits with her many male lovers:

"And then he said, 'I can't enjoy sex anymore because you're always bruising my hips, and you're always so focused on pleasing yourself!'" Bella snorted and rolled her eyes. "Please. What am I supposed to do? Not be so rough with him even though he asked for it? And, of course, I will work hard to please myself! Don't you know how hard it is to find a good dick these days?"

Tao gulped as he stared at the tigress cautiously, ignoring the fry basket before him. "W-well, maybe you should? Not every guy enjoys b-being in that position, you know."

Belle snorted and dismissed the black panther with a wave of her hand. "Whatever. Guys like him are a bunch of shrimp-dicked pussies anyway. If they can't handle the heat, they shouldn't take a chance with me in the first place."

Aoba and Tao groaned and shook their heads while Legoshi focused on trying to enjoy his meal. But he, too, was interrupted by the boisterous, muscular tigress as she threw an arm around his shoulders and pulled him to her. Legoshi's ears folded back, and he fought the urge to growl at her. However, Belle ignored the discomfort the wolf was displaying and grinned.

"So Legosi, when are you going to make your claim on me like you did with Els and your 'roommates?' And what do you say we go a round or two and take that telephone pole of yours for a spin? I bet I can make you cum before we even start~."

Legoshi felt his face burn at the idea of him and Belle going at it like rabid beasts. While the two were at odds with each other after the incident on stage, they didn't hate each other; it was more like a friendly rivalry if anything (even though Belle was the one usually instigating things). And although the thought of having sex with Belle - or even being 'dominated' by her according to her 'stories' - was less than appealing, Legoshi couldn't help but admit that the tigress was undeniably good-looking and attractive.

She obviously wasn't as gifted in the chest as most of the other girls at Cherryton were, but her breasts were a decent size - a little more than a handful if Legoshi had to guess - and her plush ass more than made up for what she lacked in the chest department. On top of that, the tigress was not a stickler when taking care of herself physically. She was well built, and the visible muscles adorning her arms, abdomen, and legs were proof of that. Belle was a living example of the 'Amazonian' body type, and she showed it off with evident pride.

Legoshi snapped himself from his train of thought and avoided Belle's leering, lustful gaze as she drew her face closer to his, eyes locked onto him and running her free hand down the front of his shirt, tracing his toned and defined torso hidden underneath the cloth. Legoshi did his best to pull away from Belle, but she had much more physical strength than he did, given that she was a tiger and he was a wolf who didn't put much effort into bulking himself up as much as she did, and the tigress held him in place as she chuffed in amusement. Her hot breath brushed the fur on Legoshi's cheeks and sent a slight shiver down his spine. And then, without warning, Belle released the slightly panicked wolf and laughed loudly and obnoxiously.

The tigress slapped her muscular and fatty thigh, the flesh rippling from the impact and through the fabric of her jeans, tears in her eyes as her laughter rang out in the restaurant. She shook her head and said in between breaths, "Aw, man! I can't believe you were considering that! Please, as if I'd ever let you put your hands on me, dick-for-brains wolf." She coughed, taking a moment to hydrate with a cup of water, and then resumed laughing. "Ha ha ha ha! Canines and felines don't mix together very well, Legoshi. Just know that for future reference if you ever plan on adding a feline lady to your harem."

Legoshi whined pitifully and turned away from his clubmates to hide his reddening face as well as the tent being pitched in his pants by his gargantuan pole.

After dinner, the group set out for Cherryton in hopes of returning in time for curfew before the Housemother tore them a new one for breaking it. The sun had begun to set, casting an orange-red haze on the clouds and city, signaling that the day was drawing to a close. However, their trek through the city to find the nearest train station had taken a wrong turn, literally and figuratively. Aoba was leading the way, with his phone out and the GPS app on screen, but he couldn't make heads nor tails of the directions it was giving him, and the eagle finally admitted what the others had been dreading:

"Uh, guys? I…I think we're lost."

"What!?" Belle and Tao shouted simultaneously, causing both Aoba and Legoshi to wince.

"What do you mean, 'we're lost?'" Belle demanded.

"Y-yeah. Why don't you use your magnetic sense or whatever?" Tao said.

Aoba shook his head and kept his eyes glued to his phone. "I'm not a migratory bird. But…we probably won't be lost for long. Here. According to Zoozle Maps, the nearest station is this way. Come on."

The trio followed after the avian, climbing a set of stairs into an open alley/courtyard that no one recognized. A truck with a canvassed bed sat idling, with the driver nowhere in sight. Belle groaned and pulled Aoba aside, laying on him the direness of their situation and reprimanding him while Tao stood to the side and watched, and Legoshi looked around. The wolf's canine ears picked up a soft noise from his right, and when he looked, he saw a couple of tigresses huddled together as they smoked.

They were dressed scantily, with flowing cocktail dresses showing their voluptuous bodies. Legoshi let his eyes roam over their striped figures, noting that they also had a bit of muscle present amongst their large bust and thick curves. However, besides their bodacious appearance, Legoshi felt something was off with the tigresses. But the wolf thought the pantherine women would be the most helpful compared to the decrepit old man sitting on the ground, wrapped in a cloak and reeking of something foul.

Swallowing his growing apprehension, Legoshi sauntered to the two women, instinctively hunching over as he approached them. The tigresses paused whatever conversation they were having and looked at Legoshi as he drew closer until he stopped a few feet from them, his cheeks burning as he tried to keep his eyes on their faces and not drift down to their large breasts. Now that he had a better look at them, Legoshi saw they wore very little makeup aside from the basic eyeshadow and lipstick. But he wasn't here to judge their appearances; he just wanted to get out of this place.

After a moment of awkward silence, Legoshi cleared his throat and addressed the tigress on his right. "E-excuse me? Um, could…may I ask you a question?" Legoshi doubted that showing even the smallest amount of manners would matter to the two women in a place like this. But it couldn't hurt to do so, right? Legoshi hoped that he hadn't done anything wrong as he wrung his hands together nervously, eyes shifting from one tigress to another as they stared back at him judgmentally. He instinctively shrunk on himself, hunching his shoulders and taking a couple steps back as he watched them scrutinize him with their amber and green eyes.

Then the green-eyed tigress to his left took a single step forward, looked the wolf up and down, narrowed her eyes at him, then said, "You're a little young to be looking for a good time with someone like us, hun. But, if you're willing to pay a little extra, I'll make it worthwhile."

Legoshi's eyes widened when he realized what she was implying, and he quickly raised his hands and shook his head. "W-wait! No, no! That's not…I mean, I'm not here for that! I…uh…it's just…my friends and I, we're a little lost, and I thought you could help us."

The tigress and her companion were taken aback and stared at Legoshi in shock before she quickly apologized to him. "Oh! I…I am so sorry about that! I…wait, you're lost?"

Legoshi nodded. "Y-yeah. We…we got turned around by my friend's phone GPS, and we ended up here." He looked around briefly before returning his attention to the lightly dressed tigresses. "Wherever 'here' is."

The two women exchanged glances before the one with green eyes said, "Listen, kid. You shouldn't be here. I understand you're lost, but it isn't safe here." She looked up at the trio grouped together as they spoke to the old man from before. She sighed and shook her head before turning back to Legoshi. "Alright, here's the deal. My friend and I will get you four out of here and to the nearest train station. We just need one thing from you."

Legoshi tilted his head before a look of realization dawned on his face. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet. "O-okay, how much would you like? I don't carry much on me because, well, you know. But I can withdraw more if you–"

The tigress stopped him with a finger to his mouth and smiled kindly at him. "No money, little wolf; however, our boss is very interested in meeting you, Legoshi."

Legoshi's eyes widened, and he sputtered. "W-what? H-how do you know my–"

"Legoshi! Get away from them, now!" Belle suddenly screamed, followed by the sound of rushing footsteps and Legoshi suddenly and violently being jerked away from the older woman. Belle took his place and got up in the other tigress's face, growling fiercely with her claws out and teeth bared. "You keep your grubby paws off of him! I know what your kind does to canines like him."

The older tigress chuffed in amusement, grinning down at Belle with hands on her hips. "'My kind?' Sister, you're a tiger too."

Belle quickly shook her head and spat through her teeth. "No, I mean the Toragumi. I know you're with them and what they do to canines if they end up on your territory. And I'm not going to let you hurt Legoshi; if you do, it'll be over my dead body!"

Legoshi, Tao, Aoba, and the two older tigresses blinked incredulously at Belle's words; the wolf more so because her effort to stand up for him was unexpected, especially since they were slightly at odds with each other. Then there was something else she said, something about a…a Toragumi? Who were they?

The tigress that Legoshi had struck up a conversation with blinked several times before a grin appeared on her muzzle, and she let out a couple of small chuckles at the defensive student's actions. "Don't worry, sweetie," she purred with a smile. "I was only making small talk with your friend. In fact, I was about to tell him where the nearest train station was."

Belle snorted and rolled her eyes. "Sure thing, lady. Yeah, no. You were going to lure him into that hellhole you call a lair and skin him alive!"

The grin on the tigres grew wider. "Sweetheart, have your parents ever told you not to believe every rumor you hear? Besides, I wouldn't even dream of doing that to your boyfriend here; he's too cute and precious."

Belle's eyes widened, and she sputtered in disbelief. "B-boyfriend? He's not my boyfriend! Heck, he's barely my friend! If anything, Legoshi's just an acquaintance, a fellow student."

The older tigress chuckled softly. "If you say so, princess. Now, what do you say we get your little circus out of the Black Market and back to your fancy school? No funny business, a'ight? I promise."

Belle snorted. "Yeah, sure. Whatever you say, sister… Wait," she arched an eyebrow at the woman. "Did you say, 'the Black Market?'"

"Indeed I did," the woman said, just as the truck from before suddenly revved and pulled away, revealing a - in Legoshi's eyes - sickening sight.

Dozens of stands and kiosks lined the plaza, carcasses of red and white meat hanging out to dry as hundreds of patrons walked up and down the aisles for their next meal. Legoshi was struck with the putrid scent of ripening flesh, and he started to drool as his instincts were reawakened. He tried to fight it and block out the smell, but it was all for naught. He shook his head, the voices of his friends and the two older women distant and fading. In a last-minute vote of desperation, Legoshi separated himself from the oddly sorted group and dashed straight into the Black Market. But he didn't care. He needed to get out of there, so he just picked a direction and ran.

His rational mind screamed at him as Legoshi ran past the stalls selling the carcasses of once-living animals, the bodies of herbivores. He closed his eyes to avoid looking at them, but the smell, that sweet, heavenly scent of fresh meat… It was too much for the young wolf. He ran as far and fast as he could, jostling several other carnivores in the process. Legoshi ignored their shouts and curses, doing everything he could to get out of this cursed place. But it was slowly becoming too much for him to overcome through sheer will. Through the red haze clouding his mind and vision, Legoshi found himself in an alley that hopefully wasn't the Black Market, leaning forward with his hands against a brick wall.

Thick globs of saliva spilled from his open maw as the wolf tried to catch his breath, the red haze clouding and blinding his vision. His mind was running rampant as the instincts Legoshi thought he had buried resurfaced with a vengeance and bloodthirsty lust for flesh. The wolf wanted to cry, to curl up into a ball and left forgotten, never to be seen or heard of again. Tears flowed down his cheeks as the faces of his friends flashed in his mind.

Haru…Els…Jack…I'm so, so sorry… I…can't…fight it! Why can't I stop salivating?!

"Legoshi!"

The wolf tensed up and looked over his shoulder to see none other than Belle making a beeline for him. No…no no nononononono! Get away from me! Legoshi shook his head and sprinted again, only to be knocked off his feet after running into a soft but firm wall of…fabric? Legoshi landed on the ground with a grunt, his mouth still dripping copious amounts of saliva, and looked up at the obstacle that cut off his escape. It was a panda, a large one at that, and built like a mountain of muscle and curves. A scar ran across her right eye and cheek, and a toothpick made of bamboo stuck out the corner of her mouth. She wore a white, short-sleeved button-up that struggled to contain her massive breasts, even with the top three buttons undone. Her arms bulged with muscle, adding to the strain on her top.

With the adrenaline having made its rounds, Legoshi suddenly felt tired, and he collapsed unconscious on the spot, the panda woman leering down at him as she stood over the wolf. As the world around Legoshi faded to black, he could just barely make out Belle's final words:

"Get away from my friend, freak!"

And then…

Silence.
