Chishi was high above the rocky mountains below, in a lovely sky of orange. The breeze was magnificent as she rode upon the back of a long black dragon. His wings flapped slowly through the air as he stayed aloft, and she held her arms out with a smile on her face.

Suddenly the world began to wretch and contort. She looked around in confusion as a loud buzzing sound tore apart the very fabric of the clouds in the sky. The horizon had spasms like a heart monitor as she threw her hands over her ear-holes with a groan.

Her tail finally lashed out and smacked against her wall-mounted clock, shutting the alarm off. She slowly sat up in bed with a groan, and looked at who was in bed with her. It was Vincent, that tiger she had met the day before, but instead of waking up to her alarm he simply rolled over. As she thought about whether they had any action last night or not, she saw his pants still on, and her towel was loosely hanging around her hips. Shaking her head, she put her feet to the carpet and stood out of bed. Vincent was still peacefully asleep. Knowing she needed to get him out, she took her towel off from her waist and threw it at his head.

Vincent shouted and scrambled to get up. "We're under attack!" He looked around the dim room and rubbed his eyes. "Oh, yay. Where am I?"

Chishi had herself in a pair of white panties before he could clearly see her, and she turned to him innocently. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you." She approached the bed and crawled over him with a seductive smile. "I really have to thank you for keeping me warm last night."

The sleepy tiger rubbed at the back of his head with a dumb grin. "Why of course! Anytime, Chishi."

She put her hands on his bare chest and straddled him with a sly grin and a chuckle. "As for right now..." she slowly leaned down and put her lips inches from his. "You need to go."

The words took a short pause for him to process them, and his eyes opened up as all that came out of his mouth was "Huh?"

She suddenly rolled off to one side, and with a quick spin around, she dug her claws under his side and flipped him off the side of her bed closest to the door. "'Cause me and Si' gotta get to work!"

He hit the ground face-first with a loud crash. As soon as he rolled over, he got hit with his work belt. "Damnit woman, couldn't just ask me nicely, huh?"

She rolled her eyes and reached into her dresser, pulling out an Iron Maiden t-shirt and throwing it on. "Come on, get dressed. I don't wanna be late for work 'cause of you."

He grumbled in protest as he grabbed his socks, shoes, and shirt, and went out of her room to get dressed in the living room.

She snickered as he left and took a pair of knee-worn jeans to get into. Then she paused with her jacket half-way on. She stared at the closet for a few moments, wearing a look of contemplation. "If all goes well to and from work, I want to go to a club later... I think." She pulled her working cap from her dresser and got her boots on.

Simon was on his way to the door when Chishi came out of her bedroom. He waved a hand at her, jingling his keys. "Hey Chi', I'm going to take Vince to his apartment on my way to work. You be careful today, alright?"

She waved and smirked. "Who, me? I'll be fine. No more dodging into dead ends for me."

He nodded and closed the door as he left, and she could hear both of them walking away along the sidewalk. She flopped down on the couch for a few minutes, sprawling out with a groan. "Come on... I just need to keep positive and stay out of harm's way. It's a good thing I've got thick skin."

Chishi arrived at the sign-in desk about 10 minutes before her shift was to start. After clocking in and waving hello to the usual faces, she was pulled aside by the foreman.

"You've got some nerves to come back here." He scowled, and lit up a cigarette. Chishi watched him as he flicked away his match and took a long drag. He growled with an exhale, "I don't need any of my crew causing issues with my special customers , especially the big cat. Got that?"

She coughed and did her best to keep breathing out. She pulled her cap down. "I ain't lookin' for trouble, and you know it. I'm just lookin' to do my job."

"Keep it that way." He took another long drag, and blew it out his nose in her direction. "I don't care how strong a fighter you are, if I hear you roughed up any more of his boys, you're outta here."

She crossed her arms and glared at him. "Oh come on boss, they jumped me. I almost got awarded with a broken rib and jaw." She hissed and continued. "Why, if anyone was-"

"Enough, Chishi!" The foreman interrupted with a growl. "Either get to work or get outta here!"

With a growl she turned and headed out to the loading bays. She only stopped and turned for a moment, watching the foreman as he went to the office and sat down to make one of his important phone-calls.

It didn't sit right with her at all, but she wanted to keep her job more than she wanted to try and go to anyone about what was going on. She figured this Leonardo character had all of his bases covered.

Once Chishi got home and into her apartment, she passed by the table and flicked on the TV with a push of the remote. Noticing that Simon left it on news she sighed and flipped through a few random numbers before just turning it off. "Forget it." She picked the stereo remote up with her tail and turned that on instead. She flipped through to her third disk and hit play.

"Out of the darkness, the Zombie did call..." she spoke with the little girl in the song as she went into her bedroom, cranking the stereo high enough to hear it from her closet. "True pain and suffering he brought to them all." She threw open her closet door and tossed her work hat off. "Away ran the children to hide in their beds..." she pulled down one of her wigs from the top shelf, and affixed a wig-cap to her head. "For fear that the devil would chop off their heads!" She giggled almost cutely as she put on a flaming red wig. The hair was short and spiked out in different directions, giving a very punky feeling. She grabbed a pair of black fingerless gloves from her dresser and pulled them tight as Superbeast began to play in the background.

She danced out into the living room and began to rock out to the music, dancing around and yelling out her " HELL YEAH!" with the song. Suddenly, there was a pounding on her door, and she stopped abruptly, blinking as if she came out of a daze. She scooped up the remote and turned the stereo off before coming to the door.

Cautiously she opened it, and on the other side was the neighbor lady. "Chishi! I know you like your music, but I have children who can hear your vulgar tunes."

Chishi nodded. "Right, sorry about that." She stepped out from the apartment and closed the door behind her. "I was actually just on my way out. Dunno what got into me."

The woman was surprised by the display of humility. This was not normal for Chishi. "Alright," she said, "Just be sure it doesn't happen again. I don't want to have to call the police on noise."

Chishi turned and locked the door quickly before grinning. "Can't have that." Then she passed by the woman with a last comment. "I'd get in more trouble beating up the cops!"

Before the woman could think of a response, Chishi was around the corner of the building.

The Dungeon was a night club situated in the basement of the Oasis Bar. Its hazy atmosphere was filled with her kind of animals. Black, red, and steel were the main colors of attire. The music was loud as a gothic metal band played in the smoky atmosphere.

She paused at the door and waved at a large rhino who was wearing a black shirt that said SECURITY on it in white letters. "Hey Russ', how you holdin' up?"

Russell, looked down at her, and his scowl turned into a side-ways grin. "Ah, same old shit, different day. You?"

She rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement. "Same, man. Your wife okay?"

He groaned. "A bitch as always." With that, she left for the bar, giving him a wave. He returned the wave before crossing his arms and going back to his menacing scowl.

As she walked up to the counter of the bar, the tender shouted at her over the music. "Chishi! Black Rum tonight?" The bartender was a rat who had more studs and loops in his ears than he had fingers and toes.

She shook her head. "Nah, I'll go with orange juice and vodka today."

The bartender whistled and got to work. "Different poison today, I see."

She chuckled and grinned, nodding shortly at the bartender.

The sound of someone's hand hitting the counter caught her attention as she saw a male dressed in a dark jean jacket. His fur and his hair were a mix of dark browns, and his face was mostly white. He wore a feline grin as he spoke over the music, "Let me get that for ya! You look like you could use it."

She smiled and licked her lips. "Well now, isn't this something?" She looked him over, and was having a bit of trouble discerning his species. He had that cat-like face, but his ears were a bit bigger and hairier... and that tail was really long, and the way he had it curled suggested that it was prehensile.

He saw her looking at him and offered a hand. "Name's Krelt."

She took his hand and shook it as she answered. "Chishi, hope it'll be a pleasure. I haven't seen you here before. New in town?"

He shook his head. "Nah, just tryin' a change of scene. Quite a drive here, but looks promising!"

She grabbed her drink as quickly as the bartender set it on the counter and got closer to Krelt so she wouldn't have to shout as loud. "So, you drive? This is within walking distance of my place! You wanna dance?"

She was forward, and assertive, and he could respect that. As soon as he nodded, he didn't even get the chance before she grabbed his wrist with one hand while downing her drink with the other hand. However, her trip onto the dance floor was cut short as she stopped two inches from face-planting into the well-toned muscular chest of a large cat.

He crossed his arms and looked down with a chuckle. "Well hello lizard-lady!"

She recognized his scent right away. It was the larger of the three thugs from the night before. Looking up, she got a better look at the body-building panther. She had seen him here before, too. "I thought I smelled a punk!"

As she tried to back away from him, he kept close to her, staring down in intimidation. "Hey now, you're lookin' pretty good for someone who got beat up last night!"

Suddenly, Krelt got himself between the two and held his hands up in a disarming manner. "Look, buddy, didn't your mother teach you any manners with ladies?"

The large thug pointed down at Chishi. "Her? This bitch ain't a lady!" He laughed loudly as she snarled. Other dancers on the floor stopped and made sure there was a wide space for them. "This place ain't for her people. She should go on back home!"

Chishi pushed Krelt aside and lunged at the large panther. Her first blow connected as she slammed her shoulder into his chest and crashed to the floor on top of him. As she raised her fists together for a more powerful strike to his face, he acted first, dealing her a blow right to the side of her face.

With the force of the punch, she rolled off of him with a growl. She took a helping hand up and stood just seconds before he did. She rubbed the side of her face and narrowed her eyes at him. "You asshole!" Someone turned the lights in the club from their dim white into an array of reds. She growled and brandished her claws as the panther stood and chuckled. "You wanna dance, punk?!"

"Uhh, Chishi," Krelt spoke with concern from behind her.

She turned with a violent " What?!" Then she noticed at least four figures behind them, brandishing other weapons. The crowd had cleared a large area for the combat, and the band had stopped playing. She knew the odds were against them. "Hope you know how to fight, Krelt!"

He sighed and held up a hand to the four. "Hang on, guys." The thugs looked amongst themselves in confusion as he removed his jean jacket. He walked back over to the bar and handed it over to the bartender. "I'll just be a bit." Then he went back and positioned himself behind Chishi. He went into a brawling stance and held out a hand, gesturing to the thugs. "Let's dance."

The band started another number, as the drummer tapped out the initial one, two, three. As the first rift hit, Chishi jumped at the panther again, swinging her claws up at his smug face. He staggered back, avoiding the blow, and countered with a heavy jab to her mid-riff. Catching his fist in her hand, she muscled into a lock with him and tried to dig her claws into his skin. The leather he was wearing was making it difficult, and as he made another swing at her she caught his other hand. The two of them stood locked in a contest of strength, as he towered over her and pushed his leverage down upon her.

The group of thugs formed a semi-circle around Krelt. One of them charged first, without any form of tactic, before the others were ready to set upon him. The lone attacker swung a baseball bat at him, but Krelt snuck in and grabbed the thug by the wrist, then smashed his other elbow into the side of the attackers face with a quick blow. As the punk stumbled away from him, Krelt grabbed the bat and flipped it in the air once, catching it by the handle. "Okay."

Chishi held up under the strength of the panther she was grappling with, but she could feel her back straining with the effort. His leverage was hurting her wounds and she knew she had to end this quickly. She let go of his fist and dropped down, pulling his other hand down with her as she shot her foot straight up into his stomach.

Krelt jumped to the side to evade the falling panther, and ended up having to swing the bat low to swat away a dagger jab. With the others coming at him around the big guy, Krelt slammed the head of the bat into the thug's stomach and swept around his tail, pulling his opponent's legs from under him.

Chishi was tackled from the side and rolled along the ground in the grip of a tomcat. He went for her long neck and tried to bite her with a growl. Her tough skin proved too much for him, and she whipped her arm around, clobbering him in the side of the head making it bounce off the concrete they were fighting on. She pushed him off of her and they both scrambled to stand, but Krelt set upon the thug. He twisted his large tail around the tomcat's neck and pulled the thug up against his back, strangling the struggling cat as he used it as a rear shield.

The panther shook his head as he stood up. Two thugs were left at his side, and one of them was without his weapon. That didn't stop the panther though, and he reached into his pockets, unhooking and un-looping a series of hooks in his pants until he hoisted up a heavy metal chain.

While he did that, Chishi went behind Krelt and hissed as she gave the held up thug a few swift and powerful blows before he was let go, slumping to the ground. Then she took a low fighting stance as she stood beside Krelt. Her tail lashed out and hung in the air as she sized up the panther. Rage burned brightly in her eyes, and her mouth was opened enough to bare her teeth.

One of the thugs reached for the inside of his jacket, but the panther held out a hand and shook his head. Then he turned towards Chishi and began to twirl his chain. As the song came to an end he sniffed and grinned. "Alright girlie, you remember how this works. This is where you get your ass kicked."

The band began to play a more violent song, covering something from Megadeth as the lights went out with the first few chords. Someone switched the lights to a more chaotic strobe, which threw most of the combatants for a loop.

As the metal music filled the club, Chishi felt herself get a charge of energy, and she rushed forward at the panther with her claws bared. She stopped short as he swung the chain out at her, and the end came inches from her face, and the strobe from the red lights showed freeze frames of their fight, exciting the crowd around them.

She swung her claws at him, but he moved back just in time. He brought the chain around and lashed it quickly at her, striking her in the shoulder. She took the hit well and ducked in at his side, giving him a rough left hook to the ribs.

As he staggered to the side he shoved one of the disoriented thugs, sending them stumbling towards Krelt. The panther held his hand in the air and twirled the chain around his fingers, then balled it into a fist that he swung down at Chishi in a powerful over-head motion. She saw it coming, and dodged back, grabbing the other thug and throwing him into the panther.

The panther threw the thug to the side and yelled at him, "Fight you fool!"

However, all the thug could hear was the singer of the band. " Grinding my teeth, white knuckles grasp at the wheel! I rush from an avalanche of adrenaline, it's all that I feel!"

Krelt regained his bearings enough to baseball swing the disoriented thug across the jaw with the wooden bat he acquired. The thug spun around with the force and met the floor very quickly. Looking over, he saw Chishi get caught by the panther and lifted up by her throat. "Bastard!" Krelt rushed over behind the larger cat and with both hands on the bat, he swung low at the back of the panther's legs.

The surprise of the impact made the panther stumble back and let go of Chishi, but his boots took most of the impact, and he was quick to retaliate. He grabbed Krelt by the arm and pulled him in, meeting him half-way with his chain fist to the face! The hit was heavy enough that Krelt slumped back in the panther's grasp and bled from the nose.

Chishi saw this and leapt at the panther once again. This time she grabbed at the inside of his arm and threw her shoulder up into his throat. She felt the attack hit home as the panther gurgled and fell down to the ground. As she hit the floor with him, she took the opportunity to throw a punch at the side of his face.

" Full throttle, hit the ground running! With a tank full of nitro, and it's 1,320 to go to the finish line!" The thug held his ears and growled as he tried to watch the scene. Things were going badly, and it was about damn time he turned things around! He snatched a black pistol from inside of his jacket, and pointed it at Chishi as she was tackling the panther.

Two of the club's security team saw this, and Russell rushed at him. Just as he was about to leap on the male, the gun went off.

The gunshot was loud enough to upset the band, who stopped mid-song. The bullet ended up smashing one of the bottles at the bar... but it also grazed Krelt's upper arm, who immediately covered up the wound with his hand.

The two security guards were quick to tear the pistol from the thug's grasp, and proceeded to beat him across the face with the handle. Russell, the main security guard, took great pleasure in beating up punks like this.

The other four members of the security team came onto the floor. One of them pulled Chishi off of the panther, who was groaning in pain and holding the side of his face. The team also picked up the other three thugs, dragging all of the fallen out of the dance area.

Chishi rubbed her neck and walked over to Krelt. "Hey, thanks. Don't think I coulda taken all of them on without ya."

Krelt nodded and winced. "Yeah, no problem." He turned and walked over towards the bar.

Her tongue flicked out and she narrowed her eyes at him. As the lights switched back to their original white glow, she could see it. "Hey, you're bleeding!"

The bartender went to the end of the bar and got a first aid kit, setting it up on the counter. Krelt shook his head. "Ah, it just stings a little."

Chishi opened the kit and pulled out some of the bandages. "Yeah, and I can smell your fresh blood." She turned and swatted his hand away from the wound. Confused, he complied, but she forcefully took his arm and wrapped the bandage around it a few times before biting the end and tucking it over the edge. Her tongue flicked again and she sighed. "Alright, better. How'd you get that, anyway?"

He rolled his arm around a little. "I don't know. I think the bullet grazed me. Thanks for patching me up!"

Chishi snickered and put away the bandages. "It was for your own good. See, I-" she stopped short as the felt a large hand tap her on the shoulder. She slowly turned and laughed. "Well hey."

Russell was standing there, and crossed his arms with a huff. "Oasis called the cops 'cause of the gunshot, so I think it's time you got outta here." The bartender to the side set Krelt's jacket back on the counter and retrieved the first aid kit.

Chishi walked up and poked his chest with one of her claws as she protested. "Now, you know I didn't start this shit , right?"

Russell grunted and bobbed his head towards the exit. "Yeah, I got yer back."

She smirked, "Thanks Russ', I owe ya." She turned to Krelt, waving her hand dismissively at Russell. "I got work tomorrow anyway. C'mon Krelt, let's go."

He let her lead him out, but once they got outside he rubbed his arm and said. "Hey, I'll catch ya some other time. You come here often?"

Chishi nodded and waved. "Yeah, at least once a week. Take it easy."

He returned the wave and got into his car. Once she had disappeared into the darkness of the night he groaned and bent forward, holding his arm. "Fucking OUCH! Why do I always find the crazy women?"

A few blocks away from home, Chishi got the feeling she was being followed. Glancing over her shoulder she could see a car creeping after her with only its yellow lights on. She narrowed her eyes and took a chance, as she started running. Taking the first corner she could find, she tried to lead them away from home and lose them.

As she started running, the lights went on and the car drove after her, taking the corner hard. With her dash she went into an alley and jumped on top of a dumpster, using it to get up into the fire escape, where she began to climb for the roof.

She heard the door open and close and a familiar voice call out. "Come on, lizard, I just wanna talk!"

She chanced a look down and saw the smarter of the three thugs she encountered from last night. She hissed and flicked him off. "Fuck off, I know how you talk!"

He chuckled as two other cats came out of the car. These ones were wearing nicer outfits, and the thug immediately pointed at her and ordered; "Get her! I want her alive, but kill her if it looks like she's about to get away!"

Her eyes went wide and she sped up the fire escape as the cats in suits made their way after her. Getting to the roof, she dashed across, but stopped at the one edge as she looked down at the park. She shook her head and ran for the other edge. By that time, the suits had made their way to the roof and were after her. She threw her inhibitions to the wind, and when she reached the ledge and saw another roof ahead and lower, she jumped from the edge. She had a short gap and about 9 feet to drop, but as soon as her toes hit the roof she rolled and kept on running. The suits were just as athletic, leaping from the building and chasing after her with almost impossible vigor.

She cursed felines in her head as she leapt to another roof. This one was about the same height, but she had a little bit of trouble clearing it. Her chest slammed into the stone ledge and she grabbed the lip with her claws when her breath left her. She scrambled and clawed her way onto the roof as she heard the others hot behind her. As she ran further, she heard them hit the roof behind her, clearing the distance without the difficulty she had.

She found a roof access prop and ran around the corner to find the door. Knowing they were just behind her she kicked open the door, but instead of going in she rounded the next corner of the stone structure, pulling her tail quickly as she ended up on the ledge of the roof.

She heard them take the bait and breathed heavily as she went back towards the other side of the roof where she almost fell onto parts of the fire escape. She slowly lowered herself down over the lip and dropped onto the fire escape. However, she lost her footing as a part of the metal slid out from under her. She fell through an open part of the floor, banged her head against two of the metal bars, and landed sprawled out on the metal platform below.

Groaning, she laid there for a while. Her vision got hazy as her eyes started closing. Suddenly she saw a figure blocking out the light that came from inside of the building.

An energetic female voice exclaimed, "Chishi?! Shit, is that really you?! What the... come on!" She could tell that Chishi wasn't in any shape to answer questions, so she scooped her up and helped Chishi walk as she took her into the building. "You're lucky I found you!" She lead Chishi into a room that had the thick smell of paint about it. "Here, you can rest here. Geez, I can't believe I'm helping you , after so long."

Chishi groaned and held her head. She was laying on something comfortable. A bed? Nah, not big enough. She blinked slowly before closing her eyes. Just before sleep and exhaustion over-took her, the realization struck her of who this could be, and she mumbled, "Emmii?"
