Mid-Knights

Episode 8: Suspicions! Confirmed?

Mitsuki closes the door behind her as she enters the large manor and smiles warmly thinking about how her night went. "Nii-san, I'm home!", she calls out as she slings her jacket over the back of a living room chair and plops down on the couch to watch some tv.

Byakuya opens the door of his private office and exits into the living room "Welcome home......hm......somethings wrong though" he stares at her arms crossed "Because as I recall there was a certain time you were supposed to be home by..."

Mitsuki glances at the clock, "I'm only a few minutes late, just barely.... I'm surprised you even noticed being in that office of yours." She says mumbling the last bit of it.

"Mm...your grounded." Byakuya says with a shrug, exiting into the kitchen not before stopping halfway by her jacket and sniffing the air, he then huffs and snarls at the scent "You've got to be kidding me....." his tone darkens and thickens in pure rage.

"Oh come on." Mitsuki rolls her eyes before seeing his anger begin to rise, "What is it? What's wrong?" she asks nonchalantly hiding her worry.

He picks up her jacket and takes another sniff, throwing it at her in disgust "Tch nothing!....just you wait!!" He storms away you can see his anger shift the atmosphere of the Manor as he slams his door shut cracking the wall 'So he likes playing games huh.....tch....I'll show him....tomorrow..he'll see what happens when you cross me...'

-The Next Day-

For the first time ever Mitsuki rushes and ends up at school thirty minutes early. 'I have to find Yasuo....' She thinks to herself as she looks and sniffs around frantically 'I have to find him before Byakuya does...'

"Hey!!!!" Izumo salutes with a childish smile "Oi, What's wrong you look worried? And why are you here so early?" She questions and then gets serious "is it....is it that time of the month already?!! Wait werewolves have that right?" She questions now confused about life.

Mitsuki groans "No its not that ti-" she lets out a frustrated sigh, "I... forgot to put my jacket right in the wash when I got home, and since I was hanging on Yasuo yesterday...." she pauses "his scent was on my jacket and Byakuya smelled it and got really mad and now if I don't find Yasuo before he does.... I'm not sure what'll happen.." she says nervously.

Izumo stares at Mitsuki dumbfounded for a few seconds, her eyebrow raises in thought until her face shifts into that of horror "If Byakuya finds Yasuo!! Your boyfriends gonna get killed!!!! Quick! He's in the Lunch room helping the cafeteria staff clean up!" She points down the hall "I'll try to distract him as much as I can, get that guy out of here!"

"He's not my boy- ugh no time to argue, thanks Izumo!" She yells as she runs towards the cafeteria. Using her sense of smell she quickly finds Yasuo in the back helping out the staff just like Izumo said. Mitsuki grabs his arm and says in a voice low enough for only him to hear, "Yasuo... I'm so sorry... You have to come with me, quick, I'll explain later... Just please trust me." She looks up at him, her eyes serious with worry.

Yasuo raises his eyebrow and excuses himself from the staff "What's wrong Mitsuki? You know we can't interact much in school" he says confused "Your brother will be here any minute"

"That's the problem." She begins explaining, "He knows we hung out yesterday, so I need to get you out of here, now!"

Yasuo takes a huge gulp "He found out? What?!...how did that? I knew this was a bad idea!" He facepalms "He's gonna kill me"

Mitsuki pulls lightly on his arm, "We have to leave, please trust me." She gives him big puppy dog eyes, "I'll keep you safe, but we have to go. Now."

Yasuo thinks for a sec and sighs in defeat "alright, alright...what do I do?" He questions confused

A Car pulls up in front of the school, As Byakuya exits from the driver seat he growls lowly "Where's that boy...?.."

"Get on my back." Mitsuki says as she transforms into her wolf form before his eyes. She gestures with her head for him to get on.

"I don't know about this..." Yasuo says a bit unsure as she nudges him with her nose and looks up at him. 'We don't have much time..' she thinks to herself hoping he understands.

Byakuya storms into the school sniffing the air and catching Yasuo's scent 'I have you now...' his eyes become more wild, claws retract on his hands and the hair on his head spikes up as he snarls loudly in feral rage getting on all fours

Izumo panics telepathically connecting with Mitsuki 'MITSUKI! HE'S GETTING ON ALL FOURS WHAT DOES THAT MEAN! IS IT GOOD? BAD? I DON'T EVEN KNOW?!!!! RUN DAMMIT!'

'Crap...' Mitsuki thinks back to Izumo 'that's not good at all, you should stay out of his way. When he's like that, almost nothing can stop him, I'm just about the only thing that can and even that isn't easy.'

Yasuo, not without hesitation finally gets on Mitsuki's back. 'I'm with Yasuo, I'm gonna take him to the one place I know Byakuya can't track his smell.' she thinks back to Izumo as she starts running as fast as she can.

Byakuya speeds down the hall on all fours turning a corner he hops on the wall using his claws to elevate himself making him faster "I'm coming for you! YASUO!!!!!!!"

Uryu pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose "Hmmm.....Byakuya is furious, If he's interested in getting his sisters boyfriend.....Then I don't have a choice"

Izumo looks over at Uryu "What are you talking about?! You can't help him"

Uryu chuckles "Byakuya-Sama authority overrules yours besides..." Black magic begins surrounding the strange student as he smirks "I'm a Warlock....Overlord of the Dark arts and once I decide something nobody can stop me"

Mitsuki's brows furrow with worry, her sharp ears picking up Byakuya's voice clearly. 'Have to move faster, have to get to the safe place.' She thinks to herself as she pushes forward even faster, running past the school grounds and heading straight into the woods.

Yasuo grips tightly onto the back of Mitsuki's neck, "Not that I uh... don't trust you or anything but are you uh... sure you can lose him?" he asks glancing back.

Mitsuki nods continuing to increase her speed, "I've done it a few times. When I want to get away from Byakuya, I can. I'm pretty sure I'm one of few who actually can, since I know how his tracking works, I can counter it."

Instantly, Uryu appears in front of them dark clouds of black magic blocking their path "You are not going anywhere..." Yasuo's eyes widen as he looks back at the storming Byakuya getting closer and closer to their location 'This...is not good...'
