🦁 Fox and Hound

Jinx got behind Agata, her ears ringing. I told you to stay away! Vi's voice continued to scream in her mind, eyes wide in fear. Agata got between the two, pulling a gun out. Jack swiftly got up and hid under the table at the sight of a gun. "Powder, it's me, Vi." Vi crouched down, removing her mask and smiling. The sting on Jinx's cheek came back, the flames licking at her skin. Because you're a Jinx.

You're a Jinx.
You're a Jinx.
Mylo was right.

She hid behind Agata, trying to catch her breath. Her heart was racing, tears beginning to form in her eyes. Why is it so hard to breathe? Agata heard Jinx hyperventilating, turning around and grabbing the CD player. He plugged in headphones, putting them on her.

Vi watched the lion put headphones on Powder, watching him do breathing exercises with her. Powder glanced towards Vi, to which the lion focused her attention back on him. He sat Powder in a chair facing away from her, leaving the headphones on her. "You have some nerve showing up like you did. You made Jinx have a panic attack!" The lion roared in anger, pointing the gun at her. Vi put her hands up, eyes wide. "I just need to see my sister. I can't abandon her again, I can't. I have to be here for her." Vi pleaded, fearful. She watched the dog calmly lead Powder to the window, showing her what's outside to distract her.

Agata pressed the barrel of the gun to Vi's forehead, watching her close her eyes in fear. "You've done enough damage to that girl's heart. You'd better apologize, and it if it's not worth a damn, I'm blowing your brains across the wall." Agata growled, turning to Jinx as his entire tone shifted. He gently lifted the headphones, calming music playing from them. "Hey sweet pea, do you want to talk to your sister?" Agata whispered.

Vi watched Powder hesitate before talking to the lion quietly. The lion nodded, picking her up. Powder glanced at her with wide eyes, clinging to the lion's mane. "You may now speak." The lion growled at Vi, making her shake in fear. "Powder, I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did to you. I shouldn't have called you a jinx. I shouldn't have hit you or screamed at you. You were just trying to help and you got fucked. I don't want to leave you again, I can't leave you again. You're all I have left." Vi pleaded, falling to her knees.

Jinx stared at her, turning to Agata. The lion nodded, then Jinx nodded. "You'll answer to Louis." Vi's expression dropped from sadness to fear. She gave a nod, putting her mask on. Agata gave Jack his payment, apologizing about Vi's intrusion.

Vi walked behind the lion, fearful. That deer controls all the lions. I'll be fucked! She looked up, hearing the lion and Powder talk. She caught sight of Powder's smile, seeing how happy she was with these lions.

Louis was sitting in his office, looking at The Shishigumi's rising profits. He glanced up, getting up as he saw Jinx. He gave her a hug and a kiss to her temple. "Boss, we found her sister." Agata spoke, Louis glancing over. A human like Jinx took off their wolf mask, revealing pink hair and pale blue eyes. "She gave Jinx a panic attack at Cherryton." He added, Louis glaring at the teen. He got up, smacking the pink-haired girl. She grabbed her face, unable to look at the deer. "Louis, sir. I wish to join The Shishigumi to be with my sister." The girl quietly spoke.

Louis glared at her, looking to Jinx for her answer. She shrugged, rubbing her arm. "You're going to have to prove you can be part of The Shishigumi." Louis growled to the girl, seeing her nod.

Vi was seated around lions, Powder already eating. A lion wearing glasses lifted the lid to the dish, showing her the raw meat of a wolf. "If you can eat this, you can join The Shishigumi." Louis spoke, taking a bite of his steak. Powder watched her with intent, her eyes burning into Vi. For Powder. Vi cut into the raw meat, putting it into her mouth. The taste revolted her, but she continued to chew. She felt her stomach clench, but she kept going. Then, she swallowed. She heard Powder speak.

"Welcome to The Shishigumi, Violet."
