🦁 New Years

Jinx noticed how tense Ibuki and Free were with each other, almost as if there was a secret between the two. "Jinx, darling, if you choose to come with us, then we're going to need you to fight. Alright?" Louis spoke quietly, something on his mind. She didn't like the vibe she was getting from the three, nodding and taking the gun that was given to her. Sabu had made more of her explosives, giving her a whole array. "Don't you think this is a bit extreme?" Vi questioned, putting a hand on Jinx's shoulder. "She can handle herself. You're forgetting Jinx created all of our prized explosives. No other gang threatens to try and fight us unless they're ballsy enough." Dolph shot back with, catching Vi off-guard.

Ekko stayed back, not wanting to get involved. He chose to stay in Powder's room, sitting on her hammock bed and watching cartoons on her tv. He liked what Powder got for being in the Shishigumi. A whole room to herself, entertainment of all sorts, unlimited supplies for drawing and creation. He got up, exploring around some more. He found her panic room, laying in there and slowly falling asleep.

Vi hung by Powder, striking those who got too close. She could smell meat on their breath, the same meat that could've been someone she saw. She slammed a fist into a wolf's jaw, grabbing his arm and pulling as hard as she could. She felt him go practically weightless, then heard him screaming. She stared at what was in her hands. His... Arm... Oh god, I have his arm! Oh God! I have his arm! I ripped off his arm! "Oh God! It hurts!" The wolf screamed, a loud bang of a gun silencing him. "Good job, sis. But next time, actually kill them instead of dismembering them!" Powder snapped, raising her gun and making several more shots as more wolves approached. This isn't my sister.

Vi saw the anger in Powder's eyes, the blood splatter on her hands and gun. They turned my sister into a killer. As everything settled down, they rejoined at the Shishigumi hideout. "We taught those wolf punks a lesson." Free cried out, mane fluffing up in joy. "Yeah, like this mark on my face?" Louis grumbled, Free perking up with an awkward grin. "I should've done a better job of protecting you, your highness." "Say that again and I'll shoot you." Vi listened to the two laugh, not understanding how it was funny. Powder got a little bit of a giggle out of it, but Powder was always an odd girl.

"Ibuki, I need to talk to you about something." Louis spoke quietly to Ibuki, Jinx listening as carefully as possible. "I have to leave The Shishigumi, my friend... He's in grave danger and-" "are they comparable?" "Oh Ibuki, I could never compare him to you all. He's the antithesis of the Shishigumi and just as important." Louis' voice was but a mere whimper, the two going for a drive. Free followed after them, not allowing Jinx to follow after them.

Vi watched Powder try to chase them into the dark tunnel, grabbing her and holding her. "No! Papa! Come back!" That same voice, the agony that echoed from her throat. It was just as pained as when she abandoned her at Vander's body. Vi screamed as she felt teeth in her arm, pulling back as Powder flung herself from her embrace. The bite didn't break skin, but it nearly did.

I can't lose you to the darkness... I can't, not again...

I'd never be able to forgive myself.
