CHAPTER 23
The silence and the wind are the feelings that are passing into the library. I was behind Tanuki watching the Kamaitachi growling to us. I am noticing now that his teeth are similar sharp as the blades he has on his members. Tanuki was quiet preparing for the fight and I wonder if I will be safe staying here watching rather than running away from the trouble, but he told me to keep behind him. I hope he knows what he is doing.
Kamaitachi threw his arms back and ran at our direction with a rough advance to cut us. At moment that he tried to attack, Tanuki only dodged his body down and counterattacking with a punch under the chin, but the punch wasn’t effective; this devil is fast as Tanuki and was able to dodge. I am seeing a wind dance where Kamaitachi – ugly name to speak – is trying to cut and pierce his opponent that is a big aim, what would be easy. I am really impressed that Tanuki surprises his opponents with the speed he has, light as a leaf for who is the Wind Guardian.
I had forgotten that he is guardian.
I stepped back to not get close enough to get hurt. Each movement that Kamaitachi does is a powerful wind blowing around the library; the lamps aren’t holding and I was having the impression that I would fly as paper. The fight scene is holy of great warriors. I know that when I look at Kamaitachi he looks at me likewise with an insane desire to capture me, what make me sweat.
A strong punch came from Tanuki to hit his opponent’s head, but was blocked fast and firm by the devil that was crossing his blades before him.
– You are good for who has blades in place of members – Tanuki praised. I don’t know if praising is part from the Japanese.
– Your words won’t pierce my emotions, furball! – Kamaitachi growls a lot.
– This wasn’t my intention.
I don’t know what he did; I just saw he opening fast his hand that was blocked by the defense and a strong wind blew against the opponent that is sliding back with the blades covering his face. The angry coming from his eyes are scaring me that I was wondering if he will provoke a hurricane and takes the university with him. All is being possible.
Tanuki jumped back and looked at me for a moment.
– Safe, Master?
– For a while – Forever impossible. The devil was ready for more fight and I don’t want to know if they will appeal for powers. And the next class?
– Best you run and hide, Master – Tanuki shouted to me. – I will follow you when all this ends.
– But can happen that…
– Go!
Automatically I turned back and ran until the other door that takes me at the university hall. At moment that he screamed and I put my paws to run, a strong typhon came blowing all the library throwing all the books and making a horrible mess. I just remember that, for impulse, I jumped and was pushed at two doors, crossing rolling a lot while the wind keeps blowing on my favor. Now I felt pain on my body. Crossed the door and closed at my front, I have no idea what is happening there and if Tanuki was fighting with him between hurricanes and leaves. Neither sounds I hear.
Best don’t lose your time, Vanz! Lift and hide at some place, wherever.
Running by the hall I look the doors around me imagining if they are locked. Any signal of teacher, student, janitor, nothing. Did I pass such time at library that I lost the time? Turning right, I see two bathrooms, one for each sex. Here is one of points because this place is big and this should be exclusive for employees or not.
I have to hide! I push the bathroom door and I felt I pushed something heavy that made a murmur sound. I was afraid that this time I knocked someone and I had to give a look, seeing a German shepherd sat with the hands on his muzzle. He looked at me and by his eyes I recognized who is:
– Vanz! What the …?
It’s Kona! I knocked the guy that I hate to talk and he was complaining the pain on his muzzle. It was an accident and I hope that he understands this part…
The part that there is a crazy hunting me best he doesn’t know.
I entered at bathroom and tried to lift him, forgiving him by what I did. Holding his arm to lift I was feeling his muscles getting rigid to punch my face if this is his dream since we studied together.
– What are you doing here? – I asked curious and afraid.
– I was at computers room doing a work and I was going out now that you found me – he passes his hand on the muzzle to massage the affected part. – What are you doing here? You should be at your home.
– Who dare if I was at home! I was at library until that someone is following me.
God! I didn’t say it, did I? I put quickly my hands on my mouth. I was trying to get calm with him, but all my anxiety is making me sweat. Kona looked at me not so surprised with my argument. For him, I should be a silly kid as always.
I was blushing a lot and I have nowhere to stick my head. If I said that someone is following me, should I tell the rest? He would never believe in my story, of course. So why to tell?
– Are you crazy? Is someone filling your head? – his voice was being rough with me and I was feeling shrunk before him.
– It’s serious! I was going out from the library and someone stopped at my front trying to steal.
By the way he looks to me, I feel that nothing that I say will convince him with a difference that isn’t a thief that is trying to steal my money or phone, but a monster that wants my body.
This phrase was weird.
– I don’t know why I am hearing you – he sighed not looking at me. – I thought you were mature after young, but you keep the kid from old times.
The kid from old times; the old times that he mocked me and the close relation I had for Mika. I was shrinking in shame looking at his eyes with the ears down. Maybe he is right about my behavior and the way I threat them until that the typhoon blasted off the door and filled this place with confusion. Kona almost fell above me. His luck was that I held him. My furs are ruffled and my eyes showing the pure fear because I don’t know if Tanuki is coming or Kamaitachi.
I looked the door and he was there with the angry expression of wild animal that is pistol with his prey. He was even salivating. Kona looked back and saw very surprised to this subject.
– Anywhere to run, cursed!
This was the words that Kamaitachi directed to me and I was hiding behind Kona, my fleshy wall for danger.
– The attack of yesterday at store… is true? – Kona asked. By his voice looks like neutral and still firm, different from me that I shake of fear until the paw. This I wanted from him.
– So do you know too? – Kamaitachi buffed. – Don’t care! You will hear this only once.
This seemed more of a threating than a sweet invite. He was advancing with his blades shaking the silly air while Kona was stepping back with me. I am afraid of what will happen with us. Where is Tanuki right now?
He lifted his arms and ready to throw us against the wall with his wind and while Kona was stepping back. When he was ready to destroy us, Tanuki finally appeared pulling his tail back, throwing out from the bathroom. After throwing, he stood at our front facing the devil that is lifting after the hard punch on the wall.
– He doesn’t get tired easy – Tanuki commented keeping the eyes on him and preparing something with his hands. – I should throw him away.
I don’t know what he was doing at our front, but the important is the defense he is doing for us. Kamaitachi was coming slow into the bathroom and I am wondering a fight into a tight place that will be discomfortable. Also, no window. How would Tanuki throw him away? Different from the Onis, here is no way to push him away.
– You are insistent by your ignorance – Kamaitachi was barking. – Do you know the power you are protecting for us?
– For us? – Tanuki repeated the words. – For who?
– For everyone that wants his blood.
He was ready to advance and keep the fight. At moment he was coming and I holding Kona behind me, Tanuki clapped his hands and suddenly Kamaitachi went down, lying hard on the ground and bouncing to have time for Tanuki advances and give a punch with his opened hand. The attack made him fly out from the bathroom and hits the wall again. Tanuki moves his hands slow until he claps the hand fast, making the devil this time roll at left.
Fading from our eyes, Tanuki had to run until him to not lose the enemy while Kona and I were amazed and frozen by the scene we watched. We kept there for some seconds until that the first to move one muscle was Kona that was going until the door slow.
– Stay here!
I shouted grabbing on his forearm to pull, but he moved rough and held the mine heavy and was facing me like someone is looking for fight. I got scared with his look that I never saw him so… rough.
– What is happening here? Why is he hunting you?
I was looking at left, right, up, down, everything to avoid his eyes. How much more I try to pull my forearm more he tights to hurt.
– Say!
– I don’t know! – I shouted worried. – I can say everything I know, but I don’t know why is happening with me. I swear.
I was getting scared now with Kona that looks angry with something and he won’t leave me go until I give him right answers that I don’t have.
Other noise of typhoon appeared and we paid attention that came from the hall. Kona left me and went to check what is happening; I had to follow him worried that Tanuki was alright. We turned at left arriving at library and all that we see are books thrown on the floor, a bad ambient to disguise all the mess when the class begins. I was literally worried in an ocean of fears.
The door that takes us for the garden was opened and we ran until there seeing only Tanuki on his form of defense looking at sky and breathing hard. Kona was quiet watching him in doubt that he was other one hunting me or worse. I was by his side seeing only Tanuki and nobody else. The only thing we are feeling is the wind blowing on our furs to calm down.
– He ran away.
Tanuki sighed. We only have the ears working on the situation.
– He should come back one day.
Undoing his pose, he turned to talk to me and see if I was good. The only thing he didn’t hope to see is that I was accompanied by my colleague that was looking amazed and doubtful. Tanuki noticed his presence just now and was showing curiosity.
– Were you watching all the fight?
Tanuki asked it while Kona was trading looks between me and the magic creature that pushed away the devil that was ravaging the university. I just know that Kona was facing me with bad eyes and just commented:
– Who is him?
I didn’t have saliva to swallow and nothing to wet my throat. What should I do now? Now I am in the dead end.
