Anger shocks him awake, it crackles against his soul. He’s on fight or flight mode, but he doesn’t know why. That’s until he crosses blades with someone armed with a uniquely curved weapon. The stranger looks down at him, but why? Why is this happening? Where am I? Hiiro can’t even properly react because the woman attempts to slash at him again, he efficiently blocks her and shifts from man to wolf then slams her down.
(But why is she wielding a blade anyway?)
After forcing her onto the ground, he watches her head slam against the cement. She struggles in his hold, the mask obscures her facial features but he senses her hostility and tenseness. But why isn’t she dead? That’d blow would kill her. Upon seeing her cough out blood, that snaps him back and he draws away, shaken. Hiiro turns tail, immediately fleeing into the unknown.
He runs, and runs and runs until he’s on four legs opposed to two. The sights are blurry and unsettling, with strange things appearing all around him. It’s disorienting, with all the saturated colors and bright lights and blaring sounds that make his ears ring.
The youkai searches awhile for the entrance to the garden. Upon finding it, he dives in, eventually tumbling into lush grass that filled its interior. Why was I fighting her? Why do I remember....? His rapid thoughts overwhelm him, he can’t comprehend anything that’s going on...
It’s then he’s alerted to approaching footsteps , causing him top open his eyes. But he already knew who the owner of the domain was. Hiiro doesn’t say a word, but weakly looks ups toward his oldest friend.
