Demi had been painting in the park when some other cats had come along and seen her. They had tried to flirt or play with her but when one of them lifted her skirt and saw she was technically a male they made fun of her, hitting her and kicking her. Pushing her in the grass and calling her names. She had tried to fight back but her little dagger she kept with her was in her art supplies that they had kicked away from her and scattered all around and out of her reach. They had not done more then beat her up and push her into a mud puddle. They had wandered off laughing and leaving Demi in the puddle of mud. She was crying and scraping the mud off her face and out of her hair as she mentally took count on her injuries to make sure nothing felt broken.

The house siblings were out on a daily stroll together to reaffirm their bond to each other and they were chatting idly with each other until the female one of the duo freezes when she heard chattering nearby become hostile along with sounds that sounds suspiciously like hitting and kicking. "Someone is being beaten up." Baroness says with a frown as she quickly trots over to see that the group of guys were yelling at the pretty girl about deceiving them and how she's a freak for dressing up like a girl. If Baroness had any fur, it would be bristling right now and her emerald greens were literally spitting daggers at the group of guys. Before her brother could protest, she was already sprinting down and laying into one guy, literally spitting with fury as her claws rakes at the guy's face. The guy spun around when he found himself being clawed and bitten by a really pissed off female, he yells as he stumbles into another guy, causing them to fall down. Baroness snarls loudly as she jumps from one guy to other in succession while spitting out insults that she knew would enrage the guys. When she feels like she got the guys' attention, she arches her back few feet away from them where she landed from being tossed away and hisses at them in a challenge before sprinting off, knowing that Baron would help this lady.

Baron's ears swivels around when his sister went really still and he turns his head toward Baroness when he heard something that made his blood run cold in his veins, his goddess was being tortured and bullied. The second the sounds of hitting and kicking reached his ears, his sister was already laying into those guys before he could react and he sprinted after his sister. His pink eyes connects with crying goddess' eyes and he skirts around now a chaotic swirl of actions that his sister is causing, creeping closer to Demi but when a guy turns his head toward Demi to kick at her, he was met with a small blur of dark brown and black and the guy felt the claws and fangs all over his body. "********!!" The guy yells as he felt the sphynx's fangs on his throat and he yanks Baron off with an explosive yell of pain, throwing him down. His steel-toed boot lifts up to crush Baron.

Demi looked up hearing the sounds of someone...well more then one someones coming after the men who had attacked her. She looked up and noticed one of them was Baron...the sweet male who had taken a liking to her and accepted her for who and what she was no matter what. She saw him and his sister, she had remembered him talking about her, attacking the men. She watched as it looked like one of them was going to get too rough with Baron and she quickly scrambled across the grass where her eyes saw the dagger her mother and father had made her. She grabbed it and with a flick, the dagger landed with a satisfying 'thump' in the male attackers calf. He flopped over screaming in pain as she collapsed. She was panting, her ribs were hurting, she might have one broken, her left eye was swollen shut and her left arm felt like it might be dislocated from them being too rough with her. She had several more bruises all over but nothing so bad as the pain she had in her ribs and left shoulder. "Stay away from my Baron!" she said with a hiss. She couldn't find the energy to stand, and still had too much mud in her face, she had aimed at the male cats knee and gotten his calf...good thing her mother and father made her work a lot on aim or she might have hit her Baron instead...

As Baroness comes back few minutes later, panting heavily and anyone could see that she really went through a wringer because her normally pristine white and golden fur is dirty and there's cuts here and there and her eyes continues to 'glow' that scary eerie inner glow when she sees an injured guy that is trying to crawl away from the pair. "Tsk tsk.. what do we have here, my little mouse?" She purrs as she jumps onto the guy whom instinctively flinches because he knows that he's thoroughly beaten and his life is in this particular female's paws. "Does your mother never told you not to pick on anyone just because they are perceived as different in your eyes?" Her voice drops to dangerous husky purr as her claw glides across the terrified guy's throat. The guy stammers and swallows hard while trying to drag himself away but the problem is... the now dangerous looking fur-less female is ON him.


Baron flinches as he slammed into the ground and he certainly felt the impact rattling every bone in his body, his pink eyes looks up in horror and... desperation when the shadow of the large boot is hovering over him, preparing to stomp him into the ground. The whoosh of the dagger flying by h im and hits the guy's calf, sending the spurt of blood all over Baron's face and he struggled not to faint because he never liked the sight of the blood at all. Visibly trembling from the adrenaline and horror, the male slowly turns around to look at his goddess, startled at the sight that is sitting next to him. "D-Demi!!? You doing all right, my goddess?!" Baron's unusually rattled voice appears as he drags himself over to her and his hands moves all over Demi's body to check to see if there's any other injuries because if there is anything broken, then he is determined to match each broken bone in Demi's with that guy's bones. His sister seems to have the same idea as he sensed her leaping over them and onto the guy, he didn't have to glance over to know that Baroness is in that mode and nothing can stop her until she gets what she wants.

Demi coudn't hardly breathe as she sat and tried to keep calm. She hurt so much..everything hurt...she was so dirty too! She couldn't stop crying as she whimpered and shook her head. "No...not ok...i want my mom...It all hurts...it hurts all over...My arm...i cant move it...And my s-side..." She said as her right hand held her left side ribcage. She was sure the tears were not visible through all the mud still all over her but she cried still even though her body told her to stop cause it hurt too much..."Hurts Baron everything hurts...i want to go ho-home..." she said as she looked at him with her green eyes and whimpered. "Please... i want my mommy..." she said as she sniffled. She knew that Baron and his sister Baroness might not know how to fix her shoulder or set her ribs but Yami knew how...she knew everything. She could help them...besides Demi didn't think she could make it back home any ways.

Baroness pads back to the pair, suspiciously half covered in blood but her eyes is back to that gentle emerald color without any of that scary glowing and she looks at Demi cooly but there's a concern evident in his body. "It is apparent that my brother knows you and the introductions will have to wait because.." She pauses as she looks Demi over with a frown. "You look like a literal hell. Is anything broken? Where's your mom? Where can I find her and bring her back to help you out?" Baroness fires out the questions without catching a breath because she wants to get this situation under the control because after she gets her brother and his friend situated, she is going to teach other boys a lesson in manners. Sitting down on her hunches, Baroness finally realizes that she probably looked very dangerous with all of the blood splattered all over her pristine fur, she stares at Demi and didn't make any move to groom herself because... no... just no.

Baron feels his heart lurch as he hears Demi's whimpering and crying and he wants to pull her into his arms and cuddle with her until she stop making those heart-wrenching sounds but he's not sure what is broken and what is hurting her. Reaching up, Baron gently wipes the mud off her face and wiping it against his designer pants without twitching about it. "It will be all right, goddess.." He quietly says as he noted the tear tracks down her cheeks and his heart broke all over again and he carefully hugged her around the neck, being mindful of her sore arm and rib. His sister's voice brings him back to the reality as he turns around, grateful that she's taking the charge of this situation because right now he's completely useless because he's on verge of falling apart because he can't stand seeing his precious Demi in pain or making those heart-breaking sounds. "I will introduce you to my sister later but where's your mom, sweetheart?"

Demi nodded and whimpered just ever so at the hug but it was welcome more then it hurt. She wanted it even if her body felt so broken and lost. "T-the Aquarium...across the park and then across the street...t-take the panel off the back vent behind the...the building....crawl in and you'll get to our living area...Tell mama...tell your name and say 'Mermaid is down' she'll know you talked with me and you can be trusted...She'll come with the med kit..." she said as she leaned on her right side into baron cause that side hurt less...she couldn't remember for sure but she must have been laying on the right side most of the attack...which was good cause her dominate hand could still paint. "Mama is called Yami...bring her back here please..." she said as she closed her only eye that could still open and rested against Baron contently, still sniffling and crying softly, but the pain was winning out and she couldn't find the energy for the crying she wanted to do.

Baroness nods crisply as she takes off, sprinting toward the aquarium, following Demi's instructions while she takes the panel off and crawls into the living room, panting to herself. She stiffens up as she realizes that she's not alone and her eyes connects with the dark-skinned female that reminds her of the injured female in the park. "Mermaid is down." She simply says as she straightens her body out, trying not to pant anymore as she stares at the female without breaking the gaze. "She's grievously injured and requires your assistance, Yami." She cooly says but her body is tense because she didn't like leaving Baron alone because other guys isn't injured badly like that guy after she left him.

Baron makes a brief eye contact with his sister before he consoles Demi, carefully rubbing her back while being mindful of the sore spots. "Things will be ok, Demi...your mother is coming and we will get you all patched up again so you can paint and not having to worry about this again." He kisses her temple as he gingerly nudges her to lay down. "You should close your eyes and try to relax. I am not going to let anyone hurt you ever again." He looks at her with a small reassuring smile but his pink eyes is still dilated because he's still all shaken up about that entire encounter. "Do you need anything? Water?" he says awkwardly as he's not sure what to do right now except continuing to comfort her.

Yami looked up when someone she didn't know, whom was also covered in blood, came charging into their home. Deu was not there right now so that was good. But in that moment before the female hairless cat spoke Yami had already pulled her gun from her holster at her side and was holding it steady. Mermaid down..."Demi...What happened! IS that her blood!" she said as her hand reached for the first aid kit with out looking, she knew where it was always. Her gun still poiunted at the female. She listened to the last bit she had to say and frowned as she nodded. "I have to trust you. Lead the way!" she said as she put the gun back and hurried out with the female to where her daughter was. An angry frown set on her face, but only to hold back the tears. She had not cried since the night she found out Demi had almost drown in the fish tanks...and now she had let something else happen to her only daughter!

Demi nodded...Yami was coming..she would be here...she could help...mama would help her. Everything hurt..."Mama will have water...its in the kit...Just...don't leave me..." she said as her chest was hurting less as her body lay down. Much better yes...."Baron im glad you saved me...thank you..." she said as she felt like she might pass out soon. Her body hurt too much, she wanted sleep...she wanted to just...not feel this any more. Then a cool hand was pushing her hair and mud from her swollen eye and her mothers scent was there. "Mama..." she said as Yami quietly rolled Demi onto her back and checked her over, assessing everything and only asking once for the two hairless to explain what happened.


As Baroness didn't blink when the gun came out of the female's holster and is aimed toward her, she didn't have any time to go through that universital appeasement process when there's a seriously injured female outside with only her brother there to protect her, all traces of emotion drains from her face and she stares at Yami blankly. "No. its not her blood. It is one of her assiliants' blood. My brother and I-" She gets interrupted by the female as she was basically forced to turn around and run out of the aquarium, leading the mother back to the spot where Demi and Baron is. When they are closing in, Baroness glances over at Yami before she veers off while calling over to Yami, "checking to make sure none of those a-... idiots are hanging around." She vanishes to do a check.

Baron carefully strokes Demi's hair, untangling it and smoothing it out while knowing that Demi would feel better if she doesn't look utterly messy before her mother arrives. "Why would I leave you, Demi? You are one of my dear friends." He gently says as he leans down to kiss her forehead tenderly before he lighly patted her cheeks. "Don't go to sleep, They-" He blinks as the woman rushes in and seems to know what she's doing so he backs off awkwardly. "My sister and I was on this walk and we were walking this way when we heard bunch of guys making fun, taunting and bullying Demi then there were some hitting and kicking involved.. that's when we got involved and chased them all away. I just wish we gotten here sooner.. perhaps we would have stopped them.." He says as there's a sadness in his voice.

Yami looked over the two small young cats and smiled. "Well done. Thank you for saving my daughter. Im just glad you got to me in time. Shes been through so much already in the last month..." she said as she looked at Baron after checking all the areas she could see. "I need to get her shoulder back into place. Please hold her down carefully. Press right here near her collar bone." she said as she showed him where to press. "When i tell you press down with everything you have so i can pop her shoulder back into place." she said as she made sure the male was using both hands as Yami moved around to Demi's left side and took hold of her daughters muddy arm. Holding at her wrist and elbow she looked at Baron and nodded. "Hold." she said as she watched him press and she lifted Demi's arm up and pressed it in. Demi's good eye snapped open as she screamed at the sudden shock of pain and feeling back in her arm. It hurt way more going in then when it had come out of place. She looked up at her mother and whimpered. "Mama...it hurts..." She said as she showed where her ribs hurt now that her arm was better, even if it hurt so much. Gently feeling her chest over Yami nodded as she frowned. "At least one is broken a little my darling mermaid...When your clean we'll wrap you up to keep it stable. I need to move you now though ok my love? I'll take you home and we'll bathe you." she said as she looked at the two others. "You are welcome to come with. You can clean up at the aquarium." she said as she carefully gave Demi a pill for pain from the box next to her and gave her a drink of water before lifting her up in her arms and heading home. "Can one of you grab that first aid kit please?" she asked as she hurried back to the aquarium as quickly as she could with out causing her daughter more pain.


Baroness comes back after feeling secure that the guys are long gone and she's suspiciously clean and glistening, almost like she went through a fountation before heading over to them. She settles down nearby and watches them silently, knowing that Baron would be a better candidate for speaking because she's still winding down from that adrenaline rush.

"Its my pleasure. Demi is one of my close and dear friends.. I couldn't just sit by and let those bullies hit her just because she's different." Baron quietly says as he looks at Yami. "Different people are very unique and they should be loved, not condemned.." He frowns little bit as he nods and moves closer to Demi, positioning his hands near her collarbone and he makes eye contact with Demi's and he smiles reassuringly while mouthing "It will be ok. I promise." When Yami tells him to push down with everything he got, he did that and he flinches as he felt the shoulder and arm pop back in the place, trying his best not to shudder while he shakily moves away. Swallowing hard, Baron tries his damn-est not to rush over to scoop Demi up into his arms and disappear so he could try to ease her pain. He knows that the mother knows the better and have more experience in first aid than he does so he forces himself to inches forward and peer down at Demi while not interfering with Yami's doing. "Try to breathe, goddess...you will be ok. I am still here." The smile he gave her is a trembly one because it is taking all of his wits not to fall apart because he hated hearing Demi crying or being in pain. A familiar touch of his sister seems to center him as Baron gratefully leans against Baroness when Yami tended to Demi then whisked her off while extending the invitations to the cats to come along. "Of course!" His shaky voice says as he looks at Baroness. "Come on!" He grabs the first aid and both of them quickly follows the woman anxiously.

Demi bit her lip where it wasn't swollen and broken and could only hope that her mother would get their quickly. She had to hold onto her consciousness cause she knew that Baron was about to lose it. She saw the fear and worry in his pink eyes but she knew she had to let him know she was still feeling ok....well as ok as she could feel. Yami carefully moved into the aquarium with Demi in hand and through the living area, hoping the hairless duo were following. She hurried to the back fish area where there was a large sink they used for thawing out feeder fish for the larger fish. She easily made her way up there and lay Demi in the sink. "Im sure both of you know that Demi is physically a boy. So if you don't want to help me wash her miss then you don't need to." she said. She wasn't sure how the male would feel about it, she had a feeling that he rather liked Demi a lot though he might be too young to realize thats what this feeling was right now. She started to strip Demi of her clothes as she checked for more bruises. She tossed the muddy clothes over the side of the sink and to the floor. Demi's chest was a large bruise, even with her slight chocolate complication that she got from her mother, the bruise where her rib was broken was very obvious. She looked over it for a moment and smiled a little. "It doesn't seem to be bad enough that its hurt anything bad. I know it hurts you a lot but its not gone into your chest. Probably more of a bad fracture then a real break but i know it hurts baby." She said as she checked over how the other marks looked as one hand turned on the warm water. Yami's eyes were showing that she was holding on by just the shear will of helping her baby girl. She had to keep Demi calm and help her get better. "What are both of your names?" she asked as she used a hand to wash her babys hair and arms gently. If they had told her she honestly had forgotten already and felt bad. She wasn't going to take her clothes off cause of the younger two not being family, but she didn't care if she got wet.

Baroness contiunes to stay close to her brother to keep him calm because she could feel him trying not to sprial out of the control, emotion-wise and she glances at him occassionally while they followed Yami and Demi dutifully to the fish area. "I truly don't really care about genders. If it doesn't affect me in any way then.." She says with a shrug evident in her voice while she stares at Baron. "I think you should take those muddy clothes away since its still improper for you to look upon a girl when she's naked. I don't care if she's physically boy. Principles, boy!" She swats Baron over the head when she could tell that her brother was going to protest and argue against it because he wanted to stay with Demi. "Go! Where's the laundry room, Mrs Yami? So my brother could take them away and give Demi some privacy.." Her emerald eyes slants to Baron in a silent warning not to argue with her on this. Straightening herself up even thought if Yami isn't looking at them and looks regal, Baroness clears her throat. "I am Baroness Van Tiggerbutt and this is my brother Baron Von Tiggerbutt." She lifts her chin up in almost haughty manner.

Baron's eyes went wide as Baroness was suggesting something unthinkable! He can't just turn around and leave Demi like this! He opens his mouth to protest but got cuffed over the head sharply by his sister, he pins his ears back against his skull and glares at her petulantly. "Hmph...." He glances at Demi and Yami worriedly but his eyes automatically diverted away when he sees that Demi is naked now and he crouches to the ground, feeling that silent warning glare from his sister and he grunts to himself grumpily. "Yeah... Mrs Yami.. where would I take those clothes to?"


Yami looked at them both and smiled as she nodded and let the female help her. "Please get her feet while i wash her hair. There is a sink around the corner you can use." She said as she got in and around her daughters ears and all of her hair. She knew that Demi wouldn't mind who ever seeing her, even more so not mind that the two who saved her and helped her get to help. She looked at Baroness and smiled. "Thank you both so much. You both are always welcome here then ok?" she said as she gently sat Demi up, letting her daughters tail move into her lap to cover her a little bit just so that she didnt' have to feel weird letting everyone see what still identified her body as that of a man. The collected water all in the sink had washed out her tail pretty well too, and Demi was washing out the rest of it with her good arm. She wasn't talking much cause she just hurt too much to do so but she was responsive and nodded at Baroness. "Yes thank you Baroness...i can not thank either of you enough." she said as she closed her eye and just enjoyed her mother washing the last of the mud from her hair and off her back. She hoped that Baron would not be too upset that he was washing clotes but she didn't really want him to see her like this right now...
