WHO: Guy Cecil, Sohma Kisa WHAT: After seeing an entry by Kisa, Guy decides he can't stand by and watch innocent children suffer. WHERE: The house where Kisa is staying? WHEN: Day 40
Yuki smelled so familiar. He smelled of home and all things that she associated with home. Kisa clung to him, closing her eyes and trying to calm her hiccuping breaths.
She knew her anxiety would only hasten the transformation process, and that was something she wished she had control over. The little girl knew it was close to damning if she did transform into a tiger cub. Then all her humanity would take a back seat to instinct, and she would gladly answer the call of the Jaguar King. A path she knew, from what she had read in the journals, was drenched in blood.
What if she turned into a killer? What if she began to hurt people and eat them? The thought made her sick and dizzy. She'd be hated again. Hated and ignored and she'd wish she could just vanish.
The conflict of emotions played itself out on her troubled face, escalating until with a puff of smoke-
she did vanish.
Only to reappear as a tiger cub. She growled at the both of them, fur bristling in self-defense. With the way the two young men were kneeling by her, she was pressed into the corner. She had nowhere to run to, and her honey colored eyes were wide with fright. She let out a tentative mew for help.
The puff of smoke blocked Guy's vision, and when he was able to see again, all the remained before him was a small tiger. "Dammit!" he muttered, between clenched teeth, punching his fist against the ground.
She growled at him, and it broke Guy's heart. He'd only just met this little girl, but... to lose her to her inner animal, to see the transformation after she had fought so hard against it, really hurt, and he found himself reaching out to pet her atop the head; the longer she remained in contact with humans, he hoped, the better chance of recovery she would have. And hopefully it would stop her at least from becoming such a blood thirsty monster as some of the other cats had been.
He turned his face to Yuki. "We can't give up on her yet..."
