Chapter 4- A New Threat

"I can handle this myself!" Masakou exclaimed indignantly. Argos just kept staring them

down, "Go." He said coolly as the leader laughed at the wolf boy. "Fine. I guess I'll kick your

flea-bitten ass instead!" He said as he cracked his knuckles and took a fighting stance. "Be careful

Argos!" Nikko yelled to her comrade. Unknown to Nikko however, there was a fourth gang

member hiding behind a tree in back of her, who hit her in the head; knocking her out

immediately. "NIKKO!" Argos yelled, "NO!!" The gangsters laughed as he ran over and knelt

down next to her. Overwhelming rage and sadness built up inside of him. "You won't get away

with this!" He yelled as his brown and green eyes turned blood red, and a purple energy aura

flared up around his hands. Argos turned to face Masakou, "Protect Nikko. Don't let anything

happen to her." Masakou nodded his head and Argos turned to Nikko's attacker who was

paralyzed with fear. He grabbed him by the shoulder and drove his knee into the man's stomach.

Amazingly, he got up and weakly tried to stand his ground. He wiped away the blood from his

mouth and lunged at Argos with a knife. Argos simply jumped to the side and planted a

roundhouse kick to his ribs, cracking a few as he fell down and this time didn't come back up. He

charged at the leader and landed his shoulder into the guy's chest, causing him to fly back into a

tree. The leader got up and tried to kick him in the face, but not before Argos sent an uppercut

square into his jaw and the leader crashed into the ground hard. The other two henchmen ran as

fast as they could into the woods, as a dumbfounded Masakou's jaw hit the floor and stayed there.

Argos picked the guy up by his blue shirt collar and growled at him, baring his fangs. "P-please

don't k-kill me." He stammered, as he looked terrified into the insolent crimson eyes that

reflected nothing but anger and hate back to him. "Akane put us up to it." Argos's breathing soon

returned to normal, as did his eyes when the energy aura disappeared. "Who's Akane?" He asked

as he lowered the gang leader down by his shirt, but seeing how much pain he was in, placed his

hand on the man's chest as a calming white energy surged from him to the bleeding and bruised

man; Healing him completely. "Ar-arigato." He said gratefully as Argos flashed a grin at him.

"Now who's Akane?" Argos repeated. "Akane is the older brother of the Tiger demon trapped

inside of your friend's sword."
