JCA - Hak Foo - Self-Control Snaps
Fandom: Jackie Chan Adventures
Claim: Hak Foo
Other characters: Tohru
Table/Theme Name & Number: Set VI, #6: Anger
Rating: PG
Summary: Hak Foo's self-control snaps, and he gives into his rage.
Author's Notes: I struggled with writing past the end point on this, but couldn't find a way to do it that didn't detract from the punch I felt with the current end. Any thoughts on how to do so would be appreciated.

"Angry crow takes flight!"
Rage strains his voice and fuels his body now. Rage at mockery, rage at another defeat. He is the Black Tiger, and he does not LOSE!
Except, apparently, when he faces Tohru.
The Japanese man blocks his strike, flinging him aside with effort, and Hak Foo ignores the way the concrete cracks under his landing. He ignores the yelling of his comrades, the almost-silent swish of the Shadowkhan as they fade in and out of this world. He ignores everything except the chance to put his fist through Tohru's skull.
Some part of him rages back at his fury, scolds him for fighting in anger. That is a route to defeat surer than facing the old man, surer than allying himself with these buffoons he met first under Valmont. But that warning melts against the background anger, and he throws punches and kicks at Tohru with a wildness the other man has never seen before.
"Rabbit punch! Mantis boxing style!" He snaps off words and phrases, not caring if they are connected to the moves his body performs. All the words in his head run into a simple mantra: 'DIEDIEDIEDIE!'
End
