Welcome to Gaia! ::

"GET BACK HERE!!" Gunnar bellowed as he started the pursuit once more. This time Gunnar was intent on catching Neko, he started to kick up some dirt behind him with his hooves as he revved up and took off after Neko. It was like a tank were rampaging through the streets, people were scrambling to get as far away from the charging bull.

The fruit cart never stood a chance, seeing no one on the direct path into the stand he didn't bother to stop, he just charged on through managing to get himself and anyone around the cart covered in various sticky multi-colored juices. It also appeared that somehow an orange had become impaled on Gunnar's good horn. He continued the pursuit not looking like he'd let up anytime soon.

The barrels and fence did little to stop the behemoth. Gunnar charged right through them cracked and jagged wood left in his wake. The pursuit seemed to be going much better this time around, well from Gunnar's perspective anyhow. It wasn't hard to tell the distance he was behind Neko, his thunderous stampede could easily be heard even felt by near by people.

[Quoting this, since there's been a handful of posts in between. XD]

Mitsu didn't seem too keen on relaxing her grip, but Hitsu didn't mind. Hitsu had been afraid, there was no doubt. Her biggest concern was that they all got out safely, and as that had apparently come to pass she wasn't at all as upset as she had been before. She glanced to Yuki as Mitsu spoke, smiling lightly once he had replied.

Yuki's expression softened when he looked to Mitsu, and he offered a small smile. "I wasn't going to let that creep take you." He replied, reaching out to ruffle Mitsu's hair. "You might be a dog, but you're not so bad. Figured we might as well keep you around for a little longer." His tone suggested that his last statement was meant as humor, as he knew full well that Hitsu would surely hurt him if he tried to chase Mitsu off after all that had happened.

Running as fast as his feet could take him, Neko made his way back to the others. He could hear the thunder of the footsteps behind him, that alone was comforting. Then just ahead, he saw something. People in a small clearing, it was the group! Jumping down from the trees he ran to them with haste and jumped into the clearing to find Yuki in the arms of a naked chick, and right in front of his sister no less! The first thing to mind was, Yuki bounces back quickly, but there was no time for smart-a** comments! Not now! “Run!”

He took a few more steps and made to continue on before he tripped over Mitsu and went flying into the brush just behind her and Hitsu. Grumbling his curses and swears he tried to dig himself out and quickly found that he was in a thorn bush. “Ah…OW damnit!” Karma had made a u turn and was currently slapping him in the face double time.

Once contact was made, Mitsu leaned her head up into Yuki’s hand as if welcoming the pat. Her tail even started to wag at his kind words to her. Never had she felt so welcome before. Her hold on Hitsu started to relax as she began to calm down and feel safe again. However, that feeling was short lived as Mitsu let out a yelp when Riyo had entered their clearing. Re-clinging to Hitsu’s middle she buried her face into Hitsu’s side. The only thing that was going through her mind was that it was another attacker, someone else after her. And then she felt something hard hit her foot and looked up just in time to see Neko flying through the air and into the thorn bush just behind her. Worried she sat up and went to investigate unsure really how to help. “Ne..err…help?”

“NO I DON’T WANT YOUR HELP!” was all the Neko screamed in return, which left Mitsu to frown at him but not move from her spot.

The rumbling drew nearer and nearer until the enourmous mass of a bull came charging into the clearing eyes quickly fixing on Neko. "I WAS TALKING TO YOU!!!" He hollared making some birds fly out of nearby trees. He snorted as he lifted Neko out of the thorn bush with almost frightening ease and gave him a good shake.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU KILL QUABECK?!!" He bellowed right in Neko's face grasping him increadibly painfully by Neko's elbows holding him stationary his hands almost able to fit around Neko's torso.

Neko let out a feral hiss as the bull man drug him painfully from the thorn bushes and shook him. As if the shaking wasn’t enough he was yelling a question at him. Who the ******** was Quabeck? Neko had tried to ask but the throttling his brain was taking from being jarred around like a rag doll wasn’t helping matters. Not to mention the huge beast man had a rather nice hold of him around his torso and arms. Fantastic. Once the shaking had stopped for a moment, Neko waited for his head to clear a little. “Who…the hell…is Quabeck?” He hadn’t the faintest idea but he was trying to stall for time while he grabbed for a blade that was in the leather strap around his leg. After a few moments he found that action to be futile and instead triggered the blade in his right boot to extend from the sole just below his toes and made a swipe at Gunnar with his foot. Not that the blade would do much damaged, but hopefully the unexpected blow would cause him to be dropped.

When Mitsu heard the thunder of hooves come up behind her and saw Neko being snatched from the brush, she nervously tilted her head back to look at Gunnar. It took a few moments for her brain to register but in no time she let out a scream as she tried to scramble away, afraid for her life.

The ground rumbled beneath Yuki's feet, and he had quickly realized that their worry was not the stranger they'd met in the city, but an all new beast. A huge beast. Both he and his sister gave frightened screams, and Yuki took hold of one of Hitsu's upper arms somewhat roughly to jerk her to her feet and out of harm's way. The unknown girl who'd clung to him, he wrapped an arm protectively over her shoulder as he took several large steps backward.

Keeping hold of Mitsu, Hitsu scrambled toward Yuki once he'd pulled them to their feet. "What the hell is that!?" She shrieked, looking on wide-eyed, praying that Neko wasn't about to be killed right before their eyes. What could they do? Even if all of them went at the huge man, Hitsu doubted they'd stand a chance.

The punch hit its mark and Neko started to yelp in pain but he coughed up blood instead. It took him a few moments to regain his breath, his world was spinning out of control. Coughing a few more times Neko was finally able to catch his breath, it was very possible he had a few broken ribs from that punch. “Dude.” He coughed again. “I don’t go…talking to my food.” Probably a bad choice or words, but at the current moment Neko wasn’t in a thinking mood, to bad for him.

Mitsu gripped tightly to Hitsu’s shirt as she stared back at the large bull man throttling Neko. “Hel…help him.” She turned to Yuki, her eyes almost as big as saucers in her fear, tears beginning to well up. “Help him!” Neko hadn’t been very nice to her, but he hadn’t let that creep run off with her either. He could have easily left her in his hands and been done with it all.
