Chapter ten: traveling with heros

James looked into the sky as he heard birds overhead. It was nice to sleep on a real bed again. After setting the last box in the back of the wagon James heard something. " Hey you, hi?"

James turns to find the party of four heros from the other day. They looked a bit stronger than when Diana handed them their asses. " Hi, I help you?"

The leader of the group looks at James then Diana passing by on her horse ready to take point. She gave them a look. " You would not be acting like a mobile shop would you?"

James considers that a moment. The amount of healing supplies he has alone was far more than they may need. " Well yes and no. I do normally sell things but they are specialized. If you want some of my items on the road I got to sell you them at limited numbers at higher costs. If you got one or wish to rent one I can lend you a storage bag as well and haul it to anywhere along our route."

The heros looked pleased hearing that. " What about buying from us?"

James considers it. " I'll take most materials. Maybe if something catches my interest. I got limited funds as well."

After that the heros wondered off. James sighs thinking how rude to not even say thanks but was use to it by now. After they were gone Kira came out of the shop and put the last bags onto the wagon. The extra bags he got may come in handy he considers as he helps Kira onto the wagon by holding her hand. For a moment she lost balance and he found himself having Kira sitting on his face a moment. " Oh, master!"

James smiled lightly to her playfulness as she helped him up as well. The both of them also knew she been up all night making sure none steal their valuables from the inn. She was beyond to tired to even think of doing anything but rolling up into a ball on her mat beside of James and laying her head on his lap to go to sleep. With him rubbing under her ear gently.

Chapter eleven: night attack

As James thought might happen the heros caught up to them by the end of the day when they were making camp by the road in a clearing. They had two tents set up and Kira was cooking dinner as Diana and Howard set up light spotting posts around. Kira did not need light on a full moon such as it is but if something happened then the rest would need that light to see past the main camps fire.

By then the heros arrived and a few passers going the other way stopped as well. By the time it got dark well over thirty were in the make shift camp. James time was spent buying and selling by the wagon as the others made tents. He was glad he had a large reserve saved for them as half the stock he had for trading was gone. He learned why as well. Werewolves roam the plains they were on currently and on a full moon they can be bad. Over dinner the only talk that could be heard was of them. James decided to spend the night on top of the wagon with his weapon loaded with fire shots.

Sense that is all that he had that would affect them. Diana was also weary opting to sleep in the wagon to a tent she let a young couple have it instead. As the night wore on Kira kept the lookout for anything moving in the darkness past the spotter lights and there was a three person patrol on the campfire's parameter. James could not sleep so he started working on a grenade item he got from the last town to try out how well it would work with his methods of infusing magic crystals into items. He just got the third done when Kira rubbed his shoulders gently. " Master you are so tired."

James wipes his hands before puts his thumb and forefinger to his nose between his eyes and rubs there a little. " It takes at least twice as long to make a core out here as it does at the shop. It not comfortable in there either."

Kira keeps looking around as her rubbing became more firm, turning into a massage. James smiled happy as he leaned his head on her arm. " Next time we get to a place with rooms for rent I will get the others one for themselves and us one."

James expected her to purr pleased hearing that but did not. Instead she raised up. James looked up to her and saw her growling with her claws extended. James grabs his weapon and grabs the bell beside it as well and starts to ring it to raise the alarm. Like amateurs the three on patrol looked back at him ringing the bell and the werewolves were already half way past the torches on the outskirts. James looked away as the guards never stood a chance but the others were already awake. Diana was instantly outside the wagon and by the tents standing guard against four. James looks at his wristwatch and turns to Kira. " No need to hold back."

Kira growled louder as her fur grew longer and she jumped off the wagon. He had no time to worry about her either as he raised his weapon.

James scooped some water from the barrel of drinking water out with a large pot and put it right over the campfire as Howard and Diana looked over the injured. The heros helped a lot taking on half of the werewolves themselves but they did not slack either taking out a fair number of the forty or more sized group themselves. By the injuries James took out at least four and Diana and her grandfather over seven together. Kira's claw marks were on more than a few of them as well.

James could tell she vanguard the camp hitting as many as she could and keeping on a move to not be hit as well. What concerned James was she was still not seen as the fires around them dies down. James suddenly sees something in the darkness. A shine on a pair of eyes and James readies to defend himself till a familiar feminine figure appears. Kira was still in her beast rage form. Her muscles bulged while covered in cuts and blood, her own and otherwise. James lowers his gun and grabs a rag and dips it in the warming water and moves to her as the heros cut him off. " Stand back. She is dangerous."

James moves forward both angry and annoyed as he uses his free hand to hit the biggest one in the back of the head. " Stop your damn staring! She does not like people seeing her naked you perverts!" They look at him surprised as he goes to Kira and wipes her cheek with the cloth. That hid the tear on that side but not the other. She hugs him happy and lays her head on his shoulder. " Master!" James had to hold her up as she collapsed in his arms. As he passed the heros to take Kira to be treated the big one looks at him shocked and awed. " So freaking cool. Even a berserked herla girl melts in his arms."
