Once Doesn't Mean Always (Straight Furry Story)

38: Stay Down

Smoke

Rikoshay seemed like a pretty cool guy, very genuine too. He came and hung out with our group during recess and lunch and told us all about himself like how he's an orphan and about how much attention his Heterochromia gets which helps with his love for entertaining crowds by either rocking out on his guitar or by dancing at raves and parties. He was a welcome edition to our group of friends, he was also in my careers class, English and Art classes too, so I'll be seeing him a fair amount.

After school

I walk (well, hobble) with Cloudy as fast as the both of us can to the bus stop as school ends, unfortunately, the dark grey clouds split the land and a sun lit sky, leaving the ground colourless.
"Really? Wow, if it almost made you cry then it MUST have been sad, what happened next?" Cloudy asks as we move
"Well, you swatch the white materia fall into the water before Sephiroth summons another part of JENOVA as he leaves, you fight the piece of JENOVA that Sephiroth summons before watching Cloud pick up Aeris, walk out with her in his arms and gently place her in a lake just outside, letting her slowly sink to the bottom" I explain as we come to a halt at our bus stop. 

"Well, looks like I know what I'm going to buy when I get steam credit, I always heard about how 'iconic' that scene is, but not in as much detail" Cloudy says, amazed at everything I told her.

"I can just family share it with you, I will just go offline to play it if you want to play it" I say before hearing someone run up from behind. I turn around and suddenly get a hard punch in the stomach before getting one of my crutches kicked out of place from underneath me. Dylan stands, evilly grinning at me with hate filled eyes before turning to Cloudy. I feel rain drops fall upon me as the sky begins to weep heavily.

"Now I teach a little something, you little Yankee bitch" Dylan growls to me before taking a weak fighting stance. I feel an overflow of rage as I take a stance of my own. Dylan tries to punch me but I swipe away his arm and punch him in the gut, forcing him to his knees.
"You little-" he snarls as getting up and trying to punch me again.

I side step and jab him in the chest before uppercutting him on the nose, forcing him backwards, cupping his face and regaining his breath as his eyes water.
"You little bitch, who the fuck do you think you are!?" The enraged Rottweiler yells at me
"I'm the girlfriend of that crippled wolf you just hurt, but to you, I'm the bitch that's going to make sure you never touch him again" I say, voicing all my anger before he runs at me again. Every kid around the area stands and watches, cheering us on as well as filming from their phones, only a small few can be heard trying to tell us to stop.

Dylan charges one more time and throws a punch, I grab his arm, kick in his leg and flip him over my right shoulder before jabbing him in the face a couple times. I stand up and keep my focus on Dylan as he lays in pain.
"Stay down" I demand before I hear a voice yell out to me.

"Get away from him!" Mr Sarem yells as he runs over through the rain. I step away as he crouches down next to Dylan
"are you OK?" He asks, I immediately outburst in anger
"is HE OK? He attacked first, he hurt Smoke before trying to punch me!" I yell.
"That doesn't mean you should beat him up till he's barely breathing!" He yells in response as he picks up Dylan
"Back to school, my office, NOW!" Mr Sarem orders as he carries Dylan toward the school. I move to help up Smoke
"I'm coming with you" he says as he stabilises himself on crutches
"No, Smoke, you don't need to, you didn't do anything, just go home and I'll talk to you later" I say, trying to convince him
"I know, but I'm not leaving you behind, no matter what you say" he says, I give up because I know how much he wouldn't agree with me, I just decide to let him come back to school with him, making us both miss our bus.
