🦁 A Lion's Territory

Silco's eyes opened, finding himself surrounded by... bipedal lions..? He tried to look around more, finding his limbs tied. "Yes, we have our choice... We have the ways we want him prepared... Thank you." The lion with a large scar on his face glanced over. "You're awake! Look at you, ready to join us. The Boss is letting us eat you." He spoke to Silco, grinning. "It's quite the treat. She at least wants to watch you die." The lion added, sending him through.

Jinx watched Silco come through, grinning. She saw his panic, his other eye staring into her. Coming was an iguana to cook, taking off Silco's gag. "You! You're that little girl!" Silco gasped, staring up at her. Jinx gave a nod, leaning her head in her palm. "Of course it's me. The little girl that set the building on fire." Silco stared up at her, trying to move. "If it weren't for you, my family wouldn't be dead. Now, my lions will get to taste human flesh for the first time and it'll be a feast celebrating them." Jinx took the knife from the iguana, slicing Silco's throat. "Goodbye, Silco."

Dolph waited with the others, finding the meal begin to be put on the table. "Shishigumi, I bring you human meat. Eat all that you can, this meal is to celebrate you." Jinx called out, sitting at one end and watching them all. The sweet scent made them all drool, beginning to dig in. "Thank you Boss!" They all spoke, Jinx and Ekko getting a different meal. Beef ribeye roast with potato and leak soup on the side.

Ekko remembered Vi's words about what Jinx was being turned into, but all he saw was a Powder. The smell of cooked human meat invaded his senses, watching the lions with fear as they ate wildly. Their first taste and it was like candy to a child.

Earlier that day, Vi saw the Shishigumi drag an unconscious Silco into the market, Powder having slit open his skin for the animals around to smell his blood. Vi saw the drool dripping from carnivorous jaws, and strangely her mouth watered. You begin to follow the rules of this universe after a while. Vi looked at her nails, slightly sharp and her teeth were getting sharp towards the back. "Hey Vi, you down for Rezoodent Evil tonight? We got a remaster from Collot's dad!" Vi looked over to Miguno, smiling. "Sure." She was one of the boys, living in a room full of canines. She slept for Legoshi once slept, to which it was her bed now. "Hey Vi, I heard from Bill you were going to the school gym. You know he's into you, right?" Durham asked, handing her a pair of gym clothes. "Why would he be into me? I'm a human, he's a tiger. An interspecies relationship like that wouldn't work." Vi explained, giving a small laugh. "It's because you punched him. He's a real domestic cat whenever you're around. Oh, she's so pretty! And she can hit hard too! She has the true makings of Carnivore Prom Queen!" Collot joked about Bill's fascination with the girl, Miguno laughing. "He's practically harmless, but he will try to show off more. You two are close in age, why not give it a try?" Durham offered, handing over some money. "Go for a date. You might like him."

Vi was lifting weights, her muscles flexing under her skin. These weights were made for water buffalo, and yet they were the challenge she needed. "Need someone to spot you?" Vi looked over, seeing Bill. He was shaking, nervous as ever. "Uh... Yeah..." She saw Bill take position, helping her and yet letting her do as she needed. He was respectful of her space, practically melting whenever she thanked him. "Uh, Vi... Can I take you on a date?" This was bound to happen. Vi thought for a moment. You two are close in age, why not give it a try? Vi heard Durham's words in her mind, giving a nod. "Alright." Was all she had to say, Bill's fur ruffling with excitement. "S-see you tonight!" Bill ran off, leaving Vi in the gym.

Powder watched the Shishigumi finish eating, leaving only his skull behind. Jinx grinned, leaning her head in her hand. Perfection. There was balance. Silco was dead and he was to never cause issue again. And yet, she felt empty inside. His death was to bring meaning, bring Vi back. She grimaced a little, her lions noticing. This was supposed to make me happy. She snatched his picked clean skull, having Dolph hang it up at the entrance.

"Hello, sir." Dolph looked behind him, seeing a cat. "You shouldn't be here. It's dangerous." He spoke kindly, not wanting Jinx's wrath for being rude to someone. "Is the child here? I wish to meet her." Dolph flicked his hear at his words. "The Boss isn't available for chatting." Dolph calmly explained, the cat held up a camera and a calendar. "I'm here for The Face of Cuteness calendar contest. It's no secret The Black Market Princess is quite the adorable, perhaps The Shishigumi would like to work with our model Mugi?" The cat spoke, Dolph looking through the images. The Shiba Inu was in an adorable dress, just overall cute, cute, cute. "I'll talk to the boss about it." Dolph offered, taking the cat in.

"Boss, this cat has an offer."
