Kasumi~
Tamotsu put his hand on my shoulder, this was odd.
"Well, alright," I told him, "I think I'll take a walk."
Shrugging off his hand, I made my way through the crowd, aiming for a little pond I saw earlier outside of the con.
Making haste away from the crowds and noise, I suddenly picked up the scent of blood. Halfer blood?
I ran faster, practically knocking over a few loners who stood at the edges of the crowd.
I could hear Tamotsu running behind me, too.
Finally, I made it to the pond and saw Moon washing off bloody wounds and Rika lying next to him, covered in blood as well.
Just in case the attacker(s) hadn't left the area yet, I didn't call their names, but instead ran up to Moon and checked Rika's pulse.
"It was a lion halfer," Moon told me with a flinch as I examined the gash in his chest.
Tamotsu ran up beside me and immediately knelt beside Rika to work his "magic."
"She just has a bit of a concussion due to lack of oxygen and bruises. I don't think the blood on her is her own, well at least not most of it," he told us.
Next he moved to Moon and ripped off a section of his shirt to try to stop the bleeding.
"You think he'll be back?" I asked Moon.
"I'm not su-" started Moon but he was cut off by a growl.
"Stupid halfer, had to call for backup from a girl and a cripple?" the voice snarled in ridicule.
The newcomer sniffed the air again and hissed, "A human?!"
Without turning to face him, I told this annoying lion-halfer, "Buzz off, flea-boy!"
The lion-halfer spat blood on the and growled, "Go home, girl! My business is with that leopard-halfer behind you!"
"Really?" I said in a joking manner, "Well you see, my friend is resting up from the previous battle, so maybe later?"
"Who do you think you are?!" his voice resounded through the area.
I could tell he was about to charge and attack either me or Moon, but then I heard the quiet string of a bow being pulled back.
I looked over and saw Tamotsu who had an arrow notched and ready.
"I got this," Tamotsu told me as I reached for Anuklusmos.

Tamotsu~
I held my bow at the ready, arrow aimed for the lion-halfer's heart.
"Why fight other halfers? Come with us to Harmony," I offered the lion.
"Harmony?!" laughed the lion, "A stupid old fairytale for little kids!"
"No, it's rea-" I began to defend the dream of the whole group but he cut me off again.
"Shut up, human! I don't want harmony! I want revenge!" he yelled pointing a claw at Moon.
He charged forward and I released the arrow.
It whistled through the air, but the lion knocked it away with a paw as he morphed.
I reached back to get another arrow but I felt someone push me sideways as the lion launched himself at me.
After hitting the ground and rolling a bit, I looked over to see Rika wrestling with the huge halfer.
Then Moon, although injured, jumped on the lion's back.
Kasumi just stood there, not knowing what to do because if she used her sword, she could injure Rika or Moon.

Aditi~
Looking over at Shiori as we walked to some anime con she had heard about, I wondered what other memories were lost forever.
I shook my head vigoriously to clear the depressing thoughts.
"Hey Shiori," I said, "That wasn't the only clue to Harmony, was it?"
She thought for a moment, then shook her head, "There are others but I haven't a clue where."
I stopped and asked, "you know what this means?!"
She gave me a confused look and I continued excitedly, "We still have a chance to find Harmony before that group of idiots!"
