In The Arms Of The Beasts

With Love

A few months later
It was the day before I had to leave for rain season. Bakugo has been acting strange recently but I wasn't worried by it. In fact I think I knew what was happening even if he didn't say the words.

Lately, Kirishima had this alluring aura about him but at first I thought it was only me who sensed it until Bakugo started coming to bed later and later, sometimes not coming at all. Most people would be concerned by something like this but polyamourous relationships weren't uncommon in the catfolk culture.

The two princes from the meeting had made their move attempting to enter the dragon king's borders. I was his main defence, but if I kept my hood up, maybe they wouldn't get any 'trading' ideas?

I doubt getting a undercut would make me look like a completely different person to them? A small part of me wanted to leave Kirishima and Bakugo alone together to let their relationship flourish but another part wanted to stay and be a part of that.

"They're close commander, I can feel it!" I couldn't tell what had gotten my units so hyped today about finding the two lords but they couldn't be far off "their scent is strong, let's get this over with"

Our squadron soon blocked the path of the two princes on horseback causing their confusion to arise "what's the meaning of this? Let us pass!" The green haired one recognised who we were instantly "hold on, these are Kacchan's men. There must be a reason for this?"

I was slightly offended by 'men' but I supposed it was the right term "who's in charge of this squadron?" My people cleared a path to me as more guards from the lords' kingdoms rode up behind them "reveal yourself, 'commander'?!"

I signalled to reposition ourself around the full moving party as I took the front. The horses they mounted were getting scared at how close we were to their riders "I said reveal yourself!" With so amount of time in between, his blade was under my chin even if he still couldn't identify me. This was one hell of an 'apology'.

I brought up my gloved hand to grasp the tip of the blade "this is quite the 'apology', my lords" he went to pull back quickly as I retracted my claws but all he ended up doing was slicing a gash in my palm.

We both winced as I lifted it to examine the blood dripping from the wound "your orders, commander?" I let a drop of blood hit the forest floor and seap in "you heard what the king said, the lords...alone. Get rid of the guards"

I hissed at horses causing them to dash down the path while I swung my blade wildly in precision occasionally throwing it in the air then temporarily using my claws before catching it again. They put up a tough fight but it finished quickly due to brute force the king installed in his fighters.

Sadly, one managed to get away even if we sent one of our guards after him. It was only once we arrived back at the gates, that guard came rushing in "h-he got away! We have to prepare for reinforcements!" I rolled my eyes picking up my pace as I moved towards the gate.

"No, we don't" and that was all it took for me to race off on all fours tracking the runaway, despite being wounded, I didn't think about getting dirt in the cut. It took awhile, enough time that when I finally found him, there was an awkward moment where I was leaning against a tree panting and he was just staring at me.

"Umm, are you alright?" His hand reached out towards me but before I could say anything, he was gone. Not running away, more swooped up by something...or someone.

"KATSUKI!" That battle was mine! Not his! Or even Kirishima's! I eyed the dragon carry him off into the distance before spinning around to shield my eyes as the beast dropped the human mid flight.

Thankfully it was far enough away so that I didn't hear his entire body break and his yelp of death. "Something wrong, kitty cat?"

I jumped as the king's voice "I had it covered, you didn't need to take off my head" his thumb ran around my neck "looks attached to me. Kirishima?" Kirishima fully leant examining every spec of my throat "she's fine...wait! No, I smell blood"

Suddenly all eyes were on me, Bakugo seemed furious but not at me, more at the fact it even happened at all! "Show me" his tone seemed demanding and aggressive yet caring and sincere.

I slowly brought my hand up with the palm facing the sky "it's just a scratch, no big deal" his fingers pulled the skin around the wound to try and get a better look "Hey, take it easy! It hurts, okay?"

I managed to rip my hand out of his grasp pinning my fist to my chest suprised at how rough he was being "Who?" I shook my head waving it off "doesn't matter. It's normal for people to get hurt in a fight"

Before I could protest any further, Kirishima was a dragon again and I was in Kacchan's lap flying through the air as he repeated the question "Who?" I bit my cheek "blue jacket, smelled like Egyptian musk and rosewood, size 7 feet"

I felt my boyfriend's arms wrap around me tighter "that Icyhot bastard! I'm gonna kill him!" My main worry was falling off the dragon rather than getting revenge. "So, how'd you know where to find me?"

Kirishima was the one to answer "well since you came here, you're the only one who smells like half cat, half dragon probably thanks to our king here. But a panicked guard said the 'commander' had run off on her own and could be in danger, so as I was about to take off looking for our long-lost Queen-to-be-possibly, Bakugo said you hadn't returned with everyone else and it sorta went from there"

I couldn't help keep picturing the runaway being dropped from the very heights we were at now. How terrifying it must've been, probably Bakugo's eerie smile beaming down at him as he fell...Yea I think rain season will be a good change.

The second we landed, a fight broke out between Bakugo and the multi-colour haired lord. I just stood at the side and I watched proudly "and you! You barbaric munchkin of a cat! How dare you attack us with such...ferocity!" I pointed to bakugo showing he told me what to do.

"Also I don't really think you can talk, thinking of how I ended up here. You tricked my people, torturing me for who knows how long, and then wanting to give a simple 'apology' for ruining my life? Not to mention you put me in a wooden box"

He was speechless "I don't really think that's fair consideri-""oh I think it's very fair. I'm just bringing up what happened, right? So now you know. And I can move on, without your 'apology'. Get eaten if I care, I'm done with humans" I walked inside to castle immediately tending to my wounds in the solitude of my chambers not caring about the outside world.
