Ch.13

The sound of liquid hit the pavement right before her. Mizuki's eyes widened and she felt her heart drop into her stomach. Amajiki was still before her, breathing heavily and having the poison drip off of him and onto the ground before him.

Chudoku blinked twice and then a dark smirk came over his features. He started to quietly giggle and then slowly it grew into loud and uncontrollable howls of laughter. He held his stomach tightly and looked to be trying to hold it together but couldn't.

"Look at this! You're going to watch another person near and dear to you... die in front of you again Sato! Because they decided they wanted to protect you!" Chudoku called out to her and Mizuki teared up.

No... that couldn't- Why would Amajiki? Was she really... an omen of death by poison to those who cared for her?

Chudoku managed to get his laughter under control and wiped at his own eyes. But unlike Mizuki's tears of anguish, his were tears of joy and elation. He was getting a kick out of this. The bastard was loving watching those she loved getting hurt and sacrificing themselves for her.

She may be poisoned... but she could still make out things before her- even if they were fuzzy. She could still move- even if her body wanted to give out. She could still feel her burning desire to kill that bastard- even if her heart wanted to let her break down and cry into an incoherent mess.

Mizuki inhaled, ready to take aim for that other eye of Chudoku's. That was the price he paid for killing her mother and she was ready to let him have another dose of her own form of punishment for now killing Amajiki.

"I had a really good meal earlier."

Mizuki froze and watched as Amajiki got up from where he had been shielding her. He inhaled a few times and looked at Chudoku. He shook a few times but looked to resolve himself and face the villain down.

"What?" Chudoku rose a brow. "Considering it your last meal? How piti-"

"It was katsudon." Amajiki continued and showed off his arms and hands. "It's made of a pork cutlet. Pork is pig. And did you know that there is an myth of pigs being immune to poison?"

Chudoku's eyes narrowed. "If its a myth, then why are you telling me?"

"Because it's partly true," Amajiki spoke and showed that his hands had turned into pig's feet and that his skin looked a lot thicker than it was moments before. "Pigs eat snakes and thanks to their thick skin... poison often does not affect them. So I guess in this case, I'm the pig and you're the snake."

Amajiki moved towards Chudoku. He quickly used his pig morphed hand to slam it into Chudoku's stomach. The villain gasped out and then Amajiki slammed his other hand down onto the man's shoulder and sent him into the pavement.

Amajiki jumped back and out of his reach. Chudoku still had knives, so he had to be careful. While the thicker tissues of pigs helped prevent the poison from seeping into the bloodstream, a knife would still be able to cut him open. The cut he had with the poison he had was already making Amajiki feel woozy, so he needed to be careful to not let himself get sliced up anymore.

Chudoku was back up onto his feet and rushed towards Amajiki. The young hero inhaled and knew he had to fight. As much as he hated to and was afraid of what could happen, he had to protect himself and Mizuki right now. Until he could escape with her and make sure Chudoku either wasn't following or would not be able to keep up with him.

Chudoku's knife nearly sliced the skin right under Amajiki's eye, but he managed to move before Amajiki got a matching scar with Chudoku. The dark-haired boy inhaled a few times and then his fingers turned into tentacles.
