The night sky was dull, as it was covered with grey clouds. The chirping of crickets was the only thing heard around Legoshi as he waited on Kuro to arrive. Nao and her group had been informed of where and when they would be meeting and got ready. Tensions were high as tonight the monster who had claimed two victims would finally meet his end.

"Hey, Legoshi I'm here. So what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?" Kuro asked jogging up to Legoshi who got up from where he was sitting

"You killed them, didn't you. You're the one who killed those innocent herbivores didn't you?!" Legoshi confessed Kuro didn't hide his emotions well as they were written all over his face

"Wh-what are you talking about? I have never killed anyone. I'm not a murderer" he lied

"Don't play stupid" Nao said coming out from the trees

"We know you did it"

"You're fur was left at the crime scene the second night"

"All the evidence points at you"

"There's no way to get out of this one," all the girls said coming out from the shadows. Kuro turned around finding that he was enclosed and surrounded by them. Frightened he fell to his knees

"Yes, I killed them! I killed them but I didn't want to! I was only trying to save them!"

"Killing them sure doesn't sound like saving them" Saori stated

"We were trying to get rid of all of you! No person should be eaten by another! Especially when that person is working for the black market! We save those who have thrown their bodies to monsters like you all! They deserve to live a meaningful life! They shouldn't throw it away like they are livestock without worth!!" Kuro expressed

"Those people weren't throwing their bodies over to us for no reason. Their life had thrown them nothing but bad luck. They were backed into a corner because of life and had no way out but to sign their bodies over to get out from under everything. They understood what would happen to them. That's stated explicitly before signing anything" Saori explained trying to make Kuro understand

"No! You brainwashed them! You bribed them! No sane person would do that to themselves!" Kuro shouted. In a boil fit of anger, he lunged at Nao his fangs and claws bared. Ready she pulled back only for Legoshi to jump in between them both as he took Kuro's bite and claws to the arm. After biting Legoshi, Kuro pushed off him running toward the school. Nao, who was ready for Kuro, was furious when she saw the damage done to Legoshi. The bite was deep and marks were made enraged she went after Kuro.

She chased after him on all fours throughout the school before he headed to the streets. All she could see was red covering her vision and hear her heart pumping as adrenaline ran through her veins. Eventually, they ended up under a bridge on the north side of town. Kuro turned around facing Nao, who was twitching and growling crawling toward him, cornered and scared he pulled out a small pocket knife that was three inches long. He waved the knife toward Nao, who didn't flinch once, eyes burning a hole in his skull. Getting up they walked toward Kuro and when they were in reach swatted the puny knife away. In a flash, Kuro and Nao were both on the ground with Nao holding Kuro down with her fangs bared and claws dug into his skin. Nao then proceeded to start eating chunks out of Kuro while he was still breathing.

~~~~

Chomp

I bit into their neck pulling out their throat.

Tear

I plunged my arm into their stomach pulling out their entrails as an agonizing scream left the lips of my victim.

Rip

First, their arms were ripped apart then their legs and organs.

While Nao was chasing down Kuro, Saori and the group were also chasing after her a ways away from the two but still hot on their trail. Rounding the corner Saori saw Nao on top of Kuro eating him a cloud of déjà vu hit Saori as she was reminded of that night. That night Nao ended the Dusk Wanderers.

"Sone Nao stop!!!" Saori yelled using all of her might to make Nao hear her. Fortunately, Saori had snapped Nao out of the killing trance she was in. Panting Nao looked down and then over at Saori, who held a pleading look on their face. She looked down at herself

"I'm-- I'm so sorry. I-I-I don't know –I don't know what came over...me" Nao pleaded pitifully. Saori went over to Nao reaching a hand out for her. Saori looked down at what was left of their killer

"It's alright, we'll salvage what we can and sell it to the highest bidder. That will make them think twice before crossing us"
