"You're the ones who wanted me to go in the first place!" You yelled at your parents. "And now, now that I've made friends and joined clubs, you want me to come back?!"

"Five tree sparrow children were killed. A duck's corpse was found just two days ago." Your mother spoke with authority. "we're not worried about your safety. Your father trained you well enough to protect yourself."

"We're worried about the effect it'll have on carnivorous students. How other animals will treat you. At least here, we all know each other. we don't have the same fears as the big city does."

"I'M NOT A CARNIVORE" You snarled and bared your fangs as tears dripped out of your eyes. "You said that to me every day growing up! That I had a choice to be and show people who I am! I'm an omnivore! I'm more herbivore than anything! Even herbivores eat some protein sometimes!"

"YOU'RE NOT!" Your mother snarled right back and squared up to you. "You have a carnivore mouth and carnivore eyes! Strangers see a predator when they look at you! We tried to soften the blow, but you're in high school now. Grow up, and see what the world sees, YN."

"If growing up is having to pretend that I'm someone that I'm not, then I guess I'm going to be a child forever." You frowned and grabbed your backpack. You were going back to Cherryton. Maybe the majority did see you as a predator, but at least you had a group of friends who didn't.

Meanwhile, Legoshi was perusing the 'treatment' that had been prescribed to him by the black market doctor. His body wasn't reacting and it made him worried.

After that scene in the subway... After the way we joked and talked... The confessions we both made... I was sure that this would at least do something to me... He flipped through the pages, not feeling the slightest bit aroused. It's only Haru that makes me feel this way. But the rage I feel when I think of Louis with her-- it's unsafe. I want to threaten him. To tell him not to tug Haru's heart around. But then, am I the one tugging it around? Or do I want to be?

He was starting to get more excited now, and it was easy to push his gym shorts down and expose himself.

I can protect Haru. She can be my little bunny. Not to eat... not to maul or maim... just to hug and to love... I love her... His paw ran up and down his length slowly and teasingly. He tried to imagine the dwarf rabbit body. Her soft, white fur. Her tiny curves and little paws. Her pitch black eyes...

Cloudy eyes came into focus. They looked like a predator's eyes, but not like his or a feline's. They were yours. Again.

Glancing down, he noticed his claws flexing and stroking him more than his hand.

But if I love Haru... why is this what always floods my mind when I do this?...

His other hand tangled in his neck fur and he felt a phantom grooming feeling, causing him to nearly lose himself immediately.

Legoshi hadn't been honest when he came upon Louis in Haru's club room. He had heard most of it.

"Inter-special relationships are best left in high school. Find a male dwarf rabbit."

Regardless of whether this was a high school love story, or one meant to traverse into the realm of real adult relationships, Legoshi knew he would never say such a cruel thing. He was a better fit for Haru than Louis. If anyone was a predatory to her, it was Louis, not him.
