        Izuki flew. Flew towards her enemy, towards her lover, her mind pleaded, and pleaded for Tohru to be left unharmed by the bulky shadow of the foe.  But that vision was soon put to an end when she heard a yelp of pain escape Tohru's throat, which was being crushed by her captor. "TOHRUUUU!!!" Izuki shouted wrathfully, this caused her to fly even faster across the room, but it wasn't enough. The moment she was within grasping range of her dragon maid, the figure disappeared, taking Tohru with him. Izuki flew directly out of the hole in the wall and staggered a bit in the air. Without any warning, something collided with the center of her spine, nearly shattered it as she was sent speeding to the hard, hot concrete ground. She hit the ground and nearly passed out upon impact with it, whatever she was hit with packed a severe punch. A punch that she'd either have to block or dodge when the time came. "Insolent Demi-human. Don't come after me, or you will lose your head," the figure spoke from above her. Izuki propped herself up on her left elbow and pushed herself up with the right one. She got onto her knees and looked up to the sky, there Tohru was, and being held up into the air by a dragon-man with pitch black wings and scales of the same color. In the center of his chest was the Greek symbol for Theta, it was clad in white almost colorless scales. Izuki chuckled a bit and brought her thumb up to her nose and wiped the blood away from it. She flew, without hesitation, towards the dragon determined to beat his ass in order to keep her true and only love safe. He sighed as he looked towards Izuki so he quickly swapped glances with Tohru before headbutting her. A shockwave pushed Izuki backwards and nearly blinded her so she put her arms up to guard her sensitive eyes from the massive amount of wind that had shot out from the dragon's attack. A loud boom sounded out into the air as the dragon threw Tohru at the ground, causing her to be driven into it. 

       "My name is Karasu, not that you will need to remember it, seeing as," the dragon appeared in front of Izuki and grabbed her face. "You won't breathe after I'm done with you," he flew into the ground and dragged Izuki's face against the concrete ground of this concrete jungle. Her head carved a path within the ground as it was pushed along by Kurasu. It took a lot of her willpower to grab onto his forearm, when she did she used all of her might to bring him overhead and cause him to crash into the ground headfirst. But Kurasu was smart, smarter than Izuki thought. He stopped mid-flight and grabbed onto her forearm, before she could to his, and shattered her connection between her Humerus and Ulna bones by snapping her elbow joint in half. An ear splitting cry sounded out from Izuki's battle torn windpipe, it was an excruciatingly large pain to feel in a singular moment. "Ah," a foot found it's way onto the back of Izuki's head and it pushed itself down with immense speed, "shut up." Kurasu brought his foot back up; an Izuki was lying down within the pavement, her scales had turned back into her normal skin and a small pool of blood was gathering around her head. "For everything you boasted about, you went down so fast. 'Tis a shame though," he began to bend downwards. He crouched over her and grabbed ahold of her head and brought it up once more. "I was hoping for a much better battle from his child," he was about to slam and crush Izuki's skull onto the pavement, but a bright red light from his left caught his attention. Quickly he let go of her head and appeared next to Tohru, kneeing her in the jaw as he did. "You can wait your damn turn to die, Princess. I have more pressing matters at hand then to take care of you." He looked down at Tohru with pity, "tch, to see the princess herself in a state like this. To see her dressed in these ape's clothing is just disgraceful," he muttered as he began to slowly walk towards Izuki. 

        Tohru propped herself up on her right elbow, "who are you to say that?! Who are you to tell me that Kurasu!" He stopped dead in his tracks...silence crossed the battlefield for a few moments, only the distant screams of the innocent and police sirens could be heard. He peered over his shoulder, an icy cold gaze chilled Tohru's heart, was it the gaze of a killer or the glint of inhumanity within his eyes that froze her from the inside out. "Well, you came here to live with these apes," a bit of rubble moved in the distance. "You're the one that took off without your father's permission," Tohru caught a glimpse of an arm rise and touch the ground. "You're the one that cost us the whole damn war with you selfish desires!" He turned around and walked back towards Tohru, "No. You're the damn selfish ones, you want a world without h-" Kurasu kicked her in the jaw, the force of his kick sent Tohru sprawling onto her back and brought her to the brink of consciousness. The last thing she saw before her sight gave out was Izuki rising from where she laid. But something was wrong, it was as if she was the embodiment of rage with those red, piercing eyes. Perhaps she was the embodiment of wrath with her jagged, sharp, long dragon claws that seemed to be able to cut through the air itself. Or maybe it was her chaotic, demonic wings that sent chills and shivers throughout Tohru's body.
