~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is a crowd of men, mostly Yamamaru bears, in the room, each with a dirty and malicious smile on his face. Okena looks down and sees a girl lying on the ground. Her clothes are torn and she has bruises on her face, but she stares up at them defiantly. Okena looks back to the crowd angrily and opens her mouth to say something. Before she gets a chance too, a blur flies over her head and the nearest Yamamaru clansman falls to the ground. Imaku stands between the girl and the crowd, sword drawn.
“Back off,” he growls, eyes flashing dangerously. The biggest of the crowd steps forward and the crowd gives a cheer. They’ve been cooped up for weeks and are itching for a fight.
“Look boy, these wenches are put her for our enjoyment. We got here first, so if you want the new human girl, you’ll just have to wait your turn,” he rumbles, smiling in mock understanding.
“Pick on someone who can fight back, bastard!” Imaku yells back. The bear, who is at least twice Imaku’s size, changes his expression from a smile to an angry grimace. He lunges forward with surprising speed, but Imaku steps off to the side. Then he cuts back inward and is standing behind the bear. He kicks him in the leg, bringing him to his knees and gently pokes the back of his neck with the sword tip. The crowd boos and jeers.
“Back down,” he orders quietly. The bear doesn’t respond, but instead picks up the girl by the head with one hand.
“Kanto! Kanto! Kanto!” chants the crowd. The bear, apparently named Kanto, turns around, using the girl as a human shield between himself and Imaku. Imaku’s eyes widen in horror.
“Suki!!” he screams. Kanto examines the girl with one eye closed.
“Clothes? Now this won’t do at all,” he says with a chuckle. Then he begins slowly removing what’s left of Suki’s torn shirt and jeans. She kicks and screams, but can’t do anything to stop him.
“Put Suki down you sick bastard!” Imaku screams desperately. Kanto only grins at him.
“Suki? That’s a nice name; though I think Rag doll suits her better,” he says, drawing a laugh from the crowd. He’s enjoying watching this pitiful new kid squirm. He is finished removing Suki’s outer clothes, and is moving on to the undergarments. Imaku can do nothing while Kanto has her in his grasp like that. Suki gives a scream as her underwear is slowly pealed off, and then begins to kick even harder, but it’s no use. Kanto then starts touching her. Suki’s eyes go blank and her body falls limp.
“Now that’s better,” says Kanto viciously, grinning. Imaku begins shaking with rage and hot tears well up in his eyes. The crowd sees this and laughs even harder. Suddenly he stops shaking and seems to go totally limp for just a fraction of a second.
“Put the girl down, Yamamaru scum,” he says in a voice entirely not his own. He looks up and his eyes are a pale, misty blue with no pupils. Okena sees this and snaps out of the daze she has been in. Suddenly, Kanto’s smile disappears as he begins to look worried and a hush falls over the crowd. He senses a different presence in the boy. Okena sees her opening and takes it. She throws three needles, hitting Kanto in the hand, elbow, and base of the neck. He drops Suki with a shout, and Imaku is instantly there, catching her limp body in his arms. His eyes return to normal and he seems dazed. Kanto gets up with a groan and prepares to attack the nearest body.
“Run, Kazemaru!” shouts Okena. Imaku shakes his head and looks around. Seeing a rampaging Kanto, he immediately takes off, loosing everyone in the confusion. As soon as he thinks it’s safe, he sets Suki down and begins removing his shirt. Suki is still stunned until Imaku hands her his shirt. She looks at it, then at Imaku, who is now removing his jeans, and then down at herself. She gives a bit of a shriek and covers her mouth. Then she looks at Imaku again as he hands her his jeans, but he won’t looks at her. Suki dresses herself silently. The clothes are a little big for her and she has to clutch them tightly to keep from exposing herself. As soon as she’s dressed, Imaku starts off down the hallway.
“Follow me,” he mumbles. She follows him silently, looking worriedly at him. He is slouching like she has never seen him do, and his tail is limp. She doesn’t know what to say to him. “It’s ok, you did your best”? No, that wouldn’t work. “It all worked out in the end anyway”? Definitely not. Both remain silent until Imaku stops walking.
“Here’s my room. Stay here and lock the door,” he orders without turning around.
“Where are you going?” Suki asks worriedly.
“To have a talk with Sanki,” he replies with a hint of anger in his voice. As he stalks off, Suki goes inside and locks the door. She goes over to the bed and simply sits for a moment in silence. As the full realization of what just happened sinks in, she breaks down and begins to cry.
