Hatred.

That pretty much summed up everything I was feeling towards this freak of nature as I flew up at it in a mighty leap, though my face couldn't possibly relay just how much seething, blood red hate that was raging through me, making my blood boil. The last time I felt this much hate towards someone, I was making Andross my bitch for the third time and leaving nothing behind. I unleashed all my rage on this thing in front of me, quickly finding out that it was a fuckin' pussy compared to fighting Wolf. I surmised quickly that it was lacking in the physical attack department as all it could do for a long time was defend itself with some kind of shield, which brought me to the conclusion it was likely a heavy bionic type. Which meant all I had to do was be relentless, hopefully allowing it no time to cast. I stopped for a second to charge up my sword to bust through that damn shield, watching it shatter like glass when I swung hard vertically but to my folly that free few seconds was enough time for it to cast at me, suddenly finding myself hit with a huge fireball and plummeting to the ground, landing in a flaming heap. I hauled myself up, a wave of my hand dispersing the flames around me. Good to know I was immune to fire, but I really doubted that was the only bionic element the shayde possessed. Confirmation came as small meteors began to rain down at me, hopping around to dodge them all before hopping up and using them to leap back up. A larger one came at me as I got close and with some aerial acrobatics, a supercharge kick sent it slamming into the shayde, making it stagger back and bellow this unnatural sound. I grinned at the sight of the tormented look of its thespian mask face and taunted it when its face morphed into a glare.

Like a true McCloud, I decided to do something dumb without having all the facts, such as taunting the enemy without know the extent of said enemy's abilities.

I plummeted to the ground again as I blocked its golden nails that had suddenly extended and lunged at me, pushing me back. I bounced off the ground and sprang into blocking and dodging as they stabbed at me in gatling fashion. I winced as I started getting cut and impaled all over, having to start using my speed to move out of the way. He got me good in the side and through my ankle, making me hit the ground pretty fast. I rolled around, using Fox Flash to barely evade being impaled several times, losing my sword in the process. I went for my scroll, holding it in my mouth as I formed the Laughing Kitsune with my hands, getting nails through my shoulder while I was at it.

"Die, you fucking son of a bitch!" I shouted as the paper lanterns appeared and swirled around the damn thing, Kitsunebi raining down from the sky and engulfing it in white flames. I sighed in relief when its nails didn't keep coming. I laid there a moment catching my breath before trying to haul myself up, but before I could, a golden nail dug into my thigh and then tore all the way up through my torso and neck, leaving a horrendous gash. I was wide-eyed as it happened and clutched myself, trembling as agonizing pain shot through me. Blood was gushing from me all over, the world around me starting to go blurry as I watched the flames vanish and the shayde descend at me, a seriously pissed expression on its face. It came down mere inches from me, its face morphing into a happy smile before it laughed this deep, reverbing laugh, its empty eyes suddenly glowing.

And then it started forcing itself into me through my ears, nose and mouth.

My eyes went wide as I began to writhe and struggle, unable to breathe as a disgustingly sickly feeling started taking over my body. I processed that it must have been attempting to possess me like it did Wolf and I was beyond scared, unable to stop it.

"NO!" I faintly heard in the distance and then suddenly, Wolf was over me, purple flames raging everywhere. I felt something inside me jerk about, probably what bit of the shayde has gotten into me, and then abruptly get pulled back out. I gasped and coughed heavily, rolling onto my side as that sickly feeling stayed with me, making my stomach groan and roll. I shakily got up on my hands and knees when my stomach turned hard and I was overwhelmed with the need to vomit. I puked my breakfast onto the grass until there was nothing left in me but bile. When I was done puking up my guts, I found there was light on me in the shape of a small kitsune, running along my wound on my skin as if it was some kind of animated tattoo, healing the wound up pretty nicely. I then looked up to find the shayde and Wolf a ways away from me, Wolf struggling to get up as the shayde rushed towards me at top speed, a murderous look on its face.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!" I shouted as I tried to force myself to stand and move. I was nearly knocked over again as Wolf was again suddenly upon me, holding me close as he used his sword to knock the shayde back with energy waves.

"Don't you even think to touch my fox, you goddamn filthy piece of shit!" he snarled in dominance. He grunted and fell to a knee again as he continued to glare, me grabbing him and supporting him again.

"Wolfus! Goddamn it, why can't you listen?" I yelled. He glanced at me and pulled me in closer, kissing my forehead.

"A promise is a promise, Pup. I promised you back at that motel on Papetoon I'd take care of you, that I'd protect you always. I'll be damned if I'm gonna break that promise."*

"Wolf, please… Don't do this, not now. You're about ready to keel over and all you can think about is being my Romeo? I want to protect you, Wolfus. You're in no condition to be doing this, you need to rest!" I insisted, pleading with him as best I could. But unfortunately Wolf's head is made of diamond.

"Well then, how about we kill this motherfucker and get this over with, Pup?" he said with a fangy smirk. I knew what that meant and I was sure there was steam coming out of my ears at this point. Wolf could drive me to insanity sometimes.

"WOLFUS! WHY ARE-" I began to flat out scream at him when he suddenly cut me off by grabbing me under the muzzle and planting his lips on mine. Warmth washed over me like a nova as my bones turned to jello, making me be pretty much collapsed against him now.

And other times, Wolf had me up on cloud nine.

The kiss only lasted a few long seconds, but it was deep and overflowing with passion. Even after it ended, my eyes were still closed in the sudden bliss that Wolf had hit me with like a freight train. When I finally regained at least some of my senses, my eyes opened slowly, though they remained a bit heavy and glazed over in bliss as if I was a love-struck teenager all over again. And of course that super fuckin' sexy feral grin of his was on his face.

"Mnnng… Damn it, Wolf…" I said. It was all I could say really. Seriously, Wolf kissed like a fucking god. It was usually all he had to do to make me his bitch or convince me of something, kind of like now. He chuckled, both because he knew I wouldn't deny him anymore and because he never got tired of springing kisses on me and watching me heat up like an inferno.

When I finally got all my senses back, I noticed Wolf actually managed to get the shayde to the ground, one of its arms missing; lying a few feet away from it was squirming in pain. Well, shit. I wish I was so good I could turn on my boyfriend and curb stomp supernatural monsters at the same time. He pulled off his overcoat, revealing his trademark simple form-fitting tank top as the shirt of choice most days, showing off his amazingly impressive lean musculature. It wasn't often I saw him in an actual shirt, he'd simply where a jacket or coat over his tank and he'd call it dressed to impress. He slung his coat over my shoulders before he jammed his sword into the ground, hand on the hilt, as energy began to flow up from it, through him and gather in his other hand. I sighed and placed my hand over his on the sword, letting him draw from my energy as fuel for his weakened state. He held his hand above his head as the purple energy began to form a flaring orb that rapid grew larger and larger. I could see the strain on his face, the sweat, as he tried to keep it under control and keep more energy flowing to it, but I'm sure it was proving a chore. He grit his teeth as his hand flexed and the massive orb above him suddenly began to shrink, more and more until it was miniscule, vibrating heavily as his hand trembled. Dark purple electricity started surging over the orb, shooting off in random directions and surging over Wolf as well. Somehow he had managed to condense it, but now it was extremely unstable. I could see veins starting to bulge all over his arms, neck and torso and it was making me really want to stop, but I didn't want to let him down, didn't want to be the cause of anything else going wrong, so I decided to see it through. Wolf took a step forward and held my hand tight, lowering his hand to point the condensed energy at the shayde on the ground.

"All right, freak. This is for all the shit you made me do, all the people you've killed and for daring to even think of harming MY fox! It's time to burn in Hell, you fucking piece of shit! Welcome to oblivion!"* He shot it at the shayde flailing on the ground, watching its face contort to horror as the little orb of energy slammed into it, exploding into a massive dome, the ground quaking as explosive energy flowed up the dome to meet at its top. It nearly engulfed Wolf and I with its sheer size, so I held Wolf close, who was now nearly passed out and panting heavily, and flashed back away to a safe distance. When I stopped, we were just in time to see negative energy get sucked into the dome before it collapsed in on itself and detonated, making the ground quake harder as a gargantuan pillar of purple-hued destructive energy rose high into the sky, probably several thousand feet. Multiple rings of shockwave energy expanded out from the pillar, the highest one pushing any and all clouds away. Though the one we had to worry about was the one running along the ground, huge chunks of earth rising up in its wake. I flashed again to an even greater distance, but I was getting seriously tired and felt like I only have a little swig of energy left, so I was relieved when I saw the shockwaves wane away and the massive pillar of death slowly dissipate, leaving only a massive crater, the wrecked landscape where it raged and no sign of the shayde. Yeah, that son of a bitch was toast. But then got me to thinking.

'Holy fucking shit… What would that have been like if Wolf was at his best and was using his mask? Good thing he isn't the bad guy people used to think he was. We'd all be screwed. Well, most of us anyway. I'd make damn sure to willing be his bitch. But no, my Wolf is a hero…'

He groaned and slacked on me more, making me almost fall over with him. That's all it took to drain the rest of my strength as I laid him down, collapsing atop him. He grinned as he looked down at me, his arm draping over my back.

"Can't resist me even when we're dead fuckin' tired, eh, Pup?" he said. I giggled and leaned up to kiss him, deep and passionate.

"You know I can't, Wolfy…" He licked my lips when I pulled back, his other hand petting me a few times before he lost consciousness. I laid my head down on his strong, muscular chest, murring quietly at the feel and sound of his heartbeat against me. I felt my mask's power drain off of me, losing my new attire and regaining my flight suit as the mask tumbled off my face to the ground. I reached over weakly and picked it up, holding it close as that bright light that had appeared once already bathed me again, drawing my eyes up. Kadin floated there, smiling down at me and I smiled back.

"Thank you… Thank you so, so much… You'll never know how much your help meant to me… You saved the man of my dreams… my world, my galaxy, my soul mate, my everything… my Wolfus…" He smiled wider and bowed to me as he vanished in a flurry of beautiful white feathers. I slowly slipped out of consciousness, the sounds of people calling me, engines of military vehicles and the propellers of helicopters the last things to register in my mind.
