A Symphony of Souls (Bakudeku)

Wounded

The woodland jaguar's eyes glowed with an intense teal-green hue, a striking and otherworldly feature that added an air of mystique to its presence.

Its fur bore a subtle green tinge, and the rosettes, intricately patterned spots on its coat, were a deeper shade of green, almost verging on black.

The overall effect created a mesmerizing and camouflage-like appearance in the lush surroundings.

Toweringly large in its true size, the jaguar surpassed even the volcanic wolf in stature, its powerful and majestic form evoking a sense of primal strength.

Despite its imposing presence, the creature bore the visible inguries, with multiple wounds marring its once-pristine coat, and begining to cover its fur with the bright cherry red of its blood. 

Katsuki's wolf boldly positioned itself in front of Izuku, emitting a low and menacing snarl directed at the larger predator. 

The air was charged with tension as the two creatures faced off, a silent but intense communication of territorial boundaries and protective instincts. 

The wolf's stance was defensive, ready to confront any threat, while its snarl conveyed a clear warning to the larger predator, daring it to challenge the it. 

As a tense standoff unfolded, a sudden shadow cast itself over the scene. 

A massive grizzly bear emerged, standing at the broken window, its imposing presence commanding attention.

With swift determination, the grizzly lunged at the jaguar, using its formidable strength to propel the feline out of the building.

The dust settled as All Might, the Symbol of Peace, touched down beside the bear, his powerful figure a reassuring symbol of authority.

A fierce and intense combat ensued between the bear and the jaguar, the clash of titans echoing through the surroundings.

Powerful blows were exchanged, each creature showcasing its strength and agility in the struggle for dominance.

The skirmish reached its climax as the jaguar, recognizing the formidable opponent, made a swift decision.

With a burst of speed, the feline disengaged from the battle, racing off the campus and disappearing into the surrounding woods.

The echoes of the struggle lingered, leaving the bear standing victorious, its imposing presence a testament to the wild and unpredictable nature that encroached upon the once-peaceful campus.

"Are you okay?" All Might inquired, concern etched across his face as he addressed the students.

Meanwhile, the grizzly bear, named Noah, approached All Might with a measured stride. Noah, it seemed, was not just an ordinary bear; he held the esteemed role of being All Might's animal companion.

"All good here" Mina said glancing in the direction the feline raced off in.

Katsuki walked forwards and placed his hand on his wolf's back. "Good boy Kai"

Izu was sent home soon after that.

In the midday sun, Izuku found himself lying on his bed, replaying the earlier events of the day in his mind.

A heavy sigh escaped him as he pondered the unfolding events. Determination flashed in his eyes as he reached for an empty bag, swiftly gathering his first aid kit and zipping it up.

Acknowledging that his idea might be considered foolish, Izuku couldn't bear the thought of leaving the wounded woodland jaguar unattended.

With a sense of purpose, he prepared to venture into the woods. 

-------------------

As Izuku pressed deeper into the woods, a sense of doubt crept into his thoughts.

Three hours had passed since he embarked on this seemingly foolish idea, and the elusive woodland jaguar remained elusive.

These creatures were notorious for being near-impossible to find, and here he was, wandering through the dense forest, challenging the odds.

The realization of the improbability of his quest weighed heavily on him.

These beings had a knack for avoiding discovery, yet Izuku persisted, driven by a determination that defied the rational doubts lingering in his mind.

The daunting task ahead only fueled his resolve, propelling him forward into the unknown depths of the forest.

 
Izu was about to call it and head home when he tripped and tumbed down the hill beside him. 

He hit the ground below hard, leaving him gasping for air. 

Once his breath had returned to normal he rolled to the side and froze. 

The fimilar stare of the intense teal-green met his from the undergrowth. 

A soft snarl rummbled through the air. 

"Hold up please I don't wanna fight you" Izu said trying to not not simply say 'please don't kill me'.  

The snarl softened but lingered as Izuku sat up slowly, opening his bag with deliberate care. 

Retrieving the first aid kit, he noticed a change in the atmosphere—the snarling ceased.

This time, with cautious determination, Izuku rose to his feet and approached the hidden creature beneath the brush.

"I just want to help," he reassured, his voice gentle.

Pushing through the bushes, he came face to face with the injured jaguar.

Blood seeped from multiple wounds, painting a grim picture of the struggles the majestic creature had faced.

Izuku took a moment to assess the injuries, his compassion and desire to aid this elusive being outweighing any fear that might have lingered.

"Im glad I got a cert in spirit animal first aid" Izu joked slowly stepping towards the injured animal. 

When the jaguar didn't react other then moving so it could watch him, he knelt beside it. and began pulling everything he needed out of the first aid kit. 

With everything prepared, Izuku began the delicate task of cleaning out the jaguar's wounds.

 As he worked, a deeper realization struck him - the creature was not only wounded, but severely malnourished. 

The signs of neglect and hardship became more evident with each careful movement.

Izuku's empathy deepened.

"Why are you so skinny" He murmmered as he finished wrapping the last wound. 

He turned and met the woodland jaguars eyes. 

In a mesmerizing transformation, the jaguar before Izuku's eyes began to shrink.

The once-majestic creature morphed into a small kitten, its fur retaining the subtle green tinge and its gaze still bearing the familiar teal eyes.

The tiny feline stared up at Izuku. Almost like it was waiting. 

Izuku sighed, a mixture of relief and affection, as he carefully lifted the wounded jaguar, cradling it gently in his arms.

However, to his surprise, the small creature had other plans.

With a determined climb, it ascended to the top of Izuku's head, finding a comfortable perch amidst his green curls.

The jaguar, now in its kitten form, seemed to have found solace and warmth, promptly drifting off to sleep.

With night falling, Izuku set out on his way home, a tiny kitten nestled comfortably in his curls, fast asleep.
