Into a stream, back out of a river (open)

[Kazu]

Kazu skated along, looking for the wolf. He couldn't believe he lost her again! He just hoped she wouldn't get herself hurt in that dog-fight. At least, he figured it was dogs. They sounded like 'em.

As he hurried on, he noticed it go completely silent--then proceeded to become worse than it was before! Shit! The wolf! "Hey, wolf!" He exclaimed, "I'm coming!" He sped up faster than before, seeing the beasts in the distance all going after something together. "..?!" Was it the wolf?! He somehow hadn't noticed she wasn't there quite yet, and so he skated for the muts.

"Hey!"

[Amaterasu]

Ammy managed to sneak outside, only to discover that the kid wasn't there. Had he run away?? She sniffed around and turned back toward the store. No, he'd gone in after her. She did NOT want that kid in there with those beasts. She had snuck around and out so they must have passed each other.

Ammy dashed back into the store, supressing the urge to bark because she didn't want to get those creatures attention again.

[Kazu]

Kazu, however, did everything in his power to get their attention, as terrified as he was. He didn't want to get mauled--they all looked pretty scary, after all. He skated in circles around the croup for a while before chucking something at one of the monsters. It yelped, then growled and looked in his general direction.

Since he was so quick, the beast became confused as to what had just hit him and pretty soon Kazu had all of them confused. Then he finally showed himself and blew a raspberry at them. "Come and get me, dumb animals!" He exclaimed, then turned and started to skate away.

"That's weird... I don't see the wolf anywhere.. did she manage to get out after all?" He questioned himself in a low murmur. He skated up and on one of the walls, turning and going around the group of them to head back out of the store without them knowing of his whereabouts.

[Amaterasu]

Ammy didn't see where the kid went, she just saw the dogs following something, she ran at them some until she saw them all looking around all confused. She was just as confused, just what the heck was going on here? She took the opportunity to grab 3 more bags of the jerky and she started to run outside, maybe this time she would actually meet up with him.

[Kazu]

Kazu skated outside quickly and paused, relieved he'd actually made it out in one piece. And without a scratch, too! Smirking some, he felt kinda proud of himself. For once he didn't fuck something up entirely. Problem was, where did that wolf go? He didn't see her outside anywhere. This sort of worried him.

Moments later, one of the dogs that had actually managed to follow him, leapt out of the building and onto him from behind, causing him to fall forward entirely. "...!! Ah!" He exclaimed, kind of horrified. "Get off! Oh shit!!" The animal bit him through his jacket and he let out a pained cry.

[Amaterasu]

Ammy saw him get attacked and was really rather displeased by that. A snarl came from her throat and she charged out of the store, dropping the jerky. She charged and rammed the beast with all of her weight, her jaws effectively clamped down onto one of it's throats and she clamped down as hard as possible. She had managed to get it off Kazu.

The beast was distracted by her ramming it so it had let go of him, it was on its back now, thrashing and snarling, one head was emmitting whines and weak snarls while the other sounded vicious and enraged, it couldn't really lean in and bite her though because she was too close. It rolled so she was on her back suddenly and it slashed at her with its claws. Ammy still refused to let go of its throat, she wanted to at least half kill this creature.

[Kazu]

Kazu was kind of in shock from the sudden bite that occured from the creature and he shakily pulled himself to his hands and knees. He glared some to the side when he saw the mutt harming his wolf friend who had once again saved him. He had a feeling this was going to happen a lot, and he really didn't approve. He stood up and walked over to them, kicking the dog's head that wasn't currently being bit. "Stupid bitch!! Leave her alone!!" He exclaimed.

He tried more to kick it off of her, as his ATs would prove to be more painful than his fists. He kicked its side, its head, anywhere he could in attempt to free her and stop it.

[Amaterasu]

The creature yelped and snarled repeatedly, it tried to swat at Kazu but was at an awkward angle so wasn't all that successful. It was trying to get away now but Ammy still wouldn't let go of its throat. One of its heads finally slumped and only then did she let it go.

The creature awkwardly stumbled off her, trying to retreat and goign really slow because half of it was almost dead. Ammy rolled to her feet and went after it again. She wanted the beast dead and at this point it didn't look like it was going to be too hard to do.

[Kazu]

"Wait!" Kazu called, but he guessed he really couldn't stop her. Either way, his back was kind of starting to hurt. He reached his hand up to touch the wound, but he couldn't really reach it. Dammit. He watched the wolf go after the dog and hoped she just put it out of its misery quickly so they could get moving again. They really needed to find some place safe to stay.

"Dammit," He sighed, "I forgot to look for food while I was in there. I was way to distracted." He said, quietly to himself.

[Amaterasu]

Using the instrument on her back, Ammy was able to take the creature down pretty quickly. She turned from it and started to come back toward Kazu, she was bleeding more now, her pace was a bit slower than what it normally was but other than that she kept moving. She went to the scattered jerky bags and gathered 3 of them in her mouth, which left another three packs lying about on the ground.

[Kazu]

"Hey.... are you okay..?" Kazu asked, softly. He felt sort of bad. Once again, he proved to be a complete and total idiot. He started to feel really depressed. "You.. forgot those bags of jerky, over there." He said. "Here, I'll pick them up for you." He mumbled and walked over, picking up the bags. He said nothing after that--he felt like he was being stupid and desperate, talking to a dog like this. Maybe he was.

[Amaterasu]

Ammy looked up at him and wagged her tail, trying to tell him that she was okay. It was her duty to protect people so she was bound to get hurt in the process. She stood beside him now and stared up at him. She had gotten the food and didn't know where to go right now. She waited for him to make a move, if he didn't she'd lead again.

[Kazu]

Kazu stared at the jerky he was holding, then looked over at Amaterasu. "I guess now we have to find some kind of safe-house. Somewhere away from all of these monsters." He said, quietly. He watched her, feeling kind of sad. How did she manage to look like such a happy animal in a place like this? He couldn't even keep optimistic here.

"...Let's go." He began to walk in a direction away from the broken market, and basically further into the city.

[Amaterasu]

She walked along side him. Ammy was always happy as long as she wasn't alone. When she was alone she felt sad, discouraged and depressed and it made the sun darken. Though she didn't feel like she would have any control over the sun and moon in this place, it was was too corrupted and unnatural, she might be able to kick up some wind with effort though. Her powers felt kind of weak here. She continued on with him, really wanting to eat.
