"Boy" shes hisses as she looks down on you "You really are an idiot, aren't you? You should have known that we were expecting you to do something like this, it's a good thing I decided to wait here, now I have you all to yourself." You scramble up to your feet, trying to distance yourself from her. Her eyes go to your bag and she holds her hands out "Hand it over, now" You back away, clutching the bag closer to yourself. She steps closer to you, her her face twisting into a snarl. "Don't be an idiot. I'll take it from you anyways but if you play nice I'll let you off easy. You might even get to live!" She smiles at you, baring her sharp canines "Or maybe you like it rough, don't you boy? You see, I've been thinking about how to repay you for what you've done to me. I've never had the chance to completely break a human before. I wonder how the crow will react seeing her toy broken as she is awaiting her execution" She's making no effort to hide the sadistic mania in her eyes now as she gets closer, and closer "If you hand it over and bow down and apologize to me, then I'll make things quick. Doesn't that sound better?"

You back up and look around to see if there's any avenue to escape. The only doors out of here are behind her, and you're sure she could catch you. You try to think of something, anything when you bump against a small table. You look back and see a small sturdy statuette there. A light in your brain turns on. Enemy. Object. Throw. You snag it and before she can react, you toss it directly at her. Your desperate throw hits true, and the statuette hits her square on the chin. As she yelps out in pain and stumbles back to rub her chin, you bolt out of there. You need to find Megumu. Hopefully even Tsukasa wouldn't dare kill you in front of her boss, or at least ask permission first.

You run around, trying to figure out where she would be. Megumu's bedroom? She might be too busy to be resting there. The meeting room where you first meet her? That's a good possibility. You rake your brain to remember where that was as you run into the entrance foyer. Now if you could just retrace your steps. But you hear the thudding of footsteps behind you, and you turn around just soon enough to see Tsukasa leap off the ground in a tackle.

She puts a surprising amount of force into it despite her small size, and she knocks the wind out of you and sends you to the ground. She wraps her hands around your throat. "You need to learn some damned manners, human" she spits that last word out with extreme venom "By the time I'm done with you, you won't be able to think without my permission! But for now, punishment" Her hands start to squeeze. Your brain starts to panic to being denied oxygen, and you can't push her off with the vice grip she has on your throat. Just when things start to fade out, she releases her grip for a few seconds to allow you to breathe, then starts to strangle you again. She's not interested in killing you, just making you suffer. You failed Aya, you got caught, as a captive they'll put an end to your little rebellion. Wait, Aya. An idea flashes in your mind. When Tsukasa releases her grip again, between the gasping for air you slip a hand in your pocket and pull out the magical breaching charge. Steeling yourself, you stick it on chest and pull the bit of paper off.

"What?!" Tsukasa's eyes go wide at this, but she doesn't have enough time to figure out what it does before it goes off. A powerful gale is sent directly into the fox's body. With a surprised and pained yelp she is sent rocketing up to the ceiling, which she meets with a wet crack. Gravity pulls her downward for the finishing blow and she lands on the floor ungracefully and no doubt painfully. You're not feeling too well either. The backslash on that thing hit you hard, and you have to lay on the floor before the aches and pains become manageable enough to get up. You make a note to see a doctor after all of this. Tsukasa still hasn't moved, and you bend down to check if she's alive. Finding that she's still breathing, you get up. When you do, you give her a solid kick to the stomach. Ah, payback.

You hear the front doors open, and your head snaps over to the sound. You're in no shape to be getting in any more fights. But you have no reasons to worry, as standing in the doorway is Aya. She's in no better shape then you are, with her clothes ragged and cuts and bruises evident all over. Her breathing is heavy, as if she's just run a marathon. But she's here, and that must mean she was victorious.
