Chapter 4:
Don't Try to Knock Me Down

The four remaining members of Team Neko crawled onto the arena, staring mercilessly at Juu for killing their master. His complete blackness observed all four of them, one by one, trying to tap into their minds and break them from within.

The first one, the man first to get in the arena, he had almond-shaped gray eyes that are like two windows looking out on an overcast sky. His luxurious, wavy, violet hair was worn in a style that reminded Juu of a porcupine's quills. He was short and had a broad-shouldered build. His skin was quite dark, and his nose was hooked.

The second one, another male quickly following the first one. This gentleman made Juu think of a raging river. He had slanted peach-colored eyes. His fine, curly, sand-colored hair was worn in a style that reminded Juu of a sea urchin. He was very short and had a feminine build. His skin was cream-colored, and he had high cheekbones.

The third one, this time a female, crawled on. This wily woman had slitted red eyes that are like two drops of wine. Her fine, straight, gray hair was neck-length and worn in a severe style. She was very tall and had a lithe build. Her skin was china-white, and she had high cheekbones along with small ears.

The final one stood ready, yet again a female. She had deep-set yellow eyes that are like two drops of molten gold. Her luxurious, wavy, brown hair was worn in a style that reminded Juu of a dustball. She was tall and had an athletic build. Her skin was cream-colored. She had prominent ears and full lips.

"Lookie lookie lookie. Four pretty little kitties all lined in a row." Juu mocked them and reached into his hair, pulling out a rose. The stem lengthened to a length of four feet and then the petals fell off, save but one. The single one left enlarged itself until it was the size of a scythe blade, and sharpened itself. Juu held his unusual scythe in hand as he anticipated the next move.

The four ran at him, each finding a different type of weapon. The gray-eyed one flicked his wrists and his claws extended, each nail around about a foot and a half long. The peach-eyed one flicked his wrists for two knives to come sliding out of his shirt. The red-eyed one held a whip in her left hand, while the yellow-eyed one held nothing. They rushed forward, led by the gray-eyed one. He slashed with his claws, only for Juu to sidestep and catch him in the back with the handle end of the scythe, forcing him to stumble forwards. Without losing his momentum, Juu took the scythe and swung it up and over his head to behind him, swiftly turning with the movement to see it lodged in the peach-eyed ones foot.

Juu ripped it loose and drove the top of the scythe into the peach-eyed ones nose, causing him to fall backwards. Juu twirled on the ball of his foot again, three quarters of a circle, before striking again, and the only thing he saw was the red-eyed ones body, falling to the ground. Her head soon hit the ground moments later with a nauseating "plunk".

"One down..." Juu muttered and continued his spin, warning the others to keep away from him. He rushed forward towards the yellow-eyed one, at the last minute attempting to jump over him. He soon felt catlike hands grasping at his legs, and he was yanked down to the ground. The scythe fell a couple feet away from him, just out of his reach. The yellow-eyed one began to slam into Juu, punching, elbowing, head-butting, whatever he could to try and incapacitate him. He wouldn't let it come to pass, however.

With a bruise on his left cheekbone, Juu stuck his arm out, it turning deeper into a shadow and extending. It grasped the scythe and dragged it in before the yellow-eyed one could react. Juu took it and drove the handle through the yellow-eyed ones head. He kicked the body off of him and held the scythe firmly in hand, looking around for the others. They were nowhere to be seen...


Then, suddenly, excruciating pain. Like nothing he'd ever felt before.

A look down would show Juu that the gray-eyed one's claw had ripped through his stomach, and was threatening to go northward and slice his throat.
