"Let go of us," Deiara growled at the spiders.
"We can't do that..." they spoke, "Master wants to fight and kill, you'll be next, but he needs to finish that girl off. Don't be so impatient..."
Celena closed her eyes. "No, I'm sorry but this is between all three of us and you aren't keeping us here..."
"What are you going to do about it, girl?"
She sighed and fur covered her body, transforming her into a wolf. She cut the web ties and slashed at the spiders. Then Celena brok the ties holding Deiara. Deiara looked at her oddly. "Why didn't you just do this before we were captured?"
She transformed back, clothes gone and replied, "Once I transform, if I transform back into a human, I can't turn back for a while, adding to that, I have no clothes..."
Deiara looked at her and poked one of her boobs. "What's this squishy thing?" she asked.
Celena took her hand. and looked at her chest. "I really have no clue, but it's either a growth or a type of pillow..." she said looking at them, "Nevermind about that, we'll probably learn later. We have to monitor what the situation is with your friend."
"Oh, right," Deiara replied, jumping into another tree branch, "How far are they?"
"Not far, they've moved a bit, but we should get there in a few minutes."
"Great, hang on Jess."
Meanwhile...
Taro sensed something and turned to see Shukaku in front of him. He looked up and his ice blue eyes brightened at the sight of a challenge. He wiped his mouth and realized who it was. "The chakra signature... the smell of sake... the giant stature... You're Shukaku, a tanuki demon, legendary nine member, has a powerful chakra signature, and one of the demons I've read in my books, along with the other members," Taro said in a bright voice.
"That scent coming from your mouth..." Shukaku growled, "What is it?"
Taro looked at him curiously. "Blood... Meru tried to keep me away from killing people but I woke up here. It's kinda tasty," Taro replied.
"Who's blood?!" Shukaku demanded, growling deeper.
"From some villagers, two cows, a chicken, and one of three girls that was wandering around here," Taro replied and then pointed to Jess. "Hers."
Shukaku was furious. "You're the one that did that to her?! You are going to pay!"
