OOC: Collab with harine

Tail swinging happily, Leona wandered through the halls near aimlessly, proving Sauro's earlier statement correct. How did he know she was going to get lost anyway? Weird psychic powers at work she figured. Sounded more fun anyway. She had her new clothes and other supplies in a bag wrapping her arm as she absentmindedly walked through Beacon, slightly unsure of where she was. "Ah well, I'll found the room eventually. Oh thats right!" she exclaimed to herself, causing nearby students to look at her strangely. "I have one of those Compass thingiemadoobers! How..." Leona mumbled as she dragged it out of her pocket, holding it upside down and by the corner "Does it work again?" She never was good with technology.

Passing it off as a headache for later, she continued her little trek, then noticed some of the other students were staring. Not at her, though, which was a first, but it also kinda confused her, so she looked in the direction they were glancing at. Much to her surprise, she found that Tiger boy half naked carrying the Kitty girl passed out in his arms. Bag falling to the ground in utter shock, she screamed "MR. TIGER, ARE YOU KIDNAPPING HER?!?" Kitty might be in trouble!

Kuhaku was jogging swiftly, taking extra care not to jostle the unconscious student in his arms, when a grating voice screeched out to him. Wincing, he halted in his tracks. His ears perked as he looked at the person addressing him.

[B]"MR. TIGER, ARE YOU KIDNAPPING HER?!?"[/B]

His tail straightened, stiff in a mixture of alarm and confusion. Mr. Tiger? Kidnapping? What? He looked down at himself and realized that yet again, this entire scene looked extremely questionable and suspicious. He sighed, his tail and ears drooping. Looking back at the other student, and noticed that she was a Faunus. Sniffing at the air and observing her animal traits, he figured she was a Lion-type Faunus. He rolled his eyes.

[I]"Great."[/I] He thought to himself.

Here comes the pretentious 'Queen of the Savannah.' While he and his kin ruled the Jungles. Though, Panther and Jaguar type Faunus would argue against that. At least she wasn't a Male Lion Faunus, the lazy bastards having the Females do all of their hunting for them. Whatever, he didn't care. What he did care about was if this student would try and stop him, or worse, report him and get him into hotter waters. If he continued running, he chanced his image and reputation worsening. Not that it was good to begin with in the first place. If he stopped, she would prolong Michelle getting medical treatment for whatever ailed her.

So, then...
What to do?
[i]"..."[/I]
He shrugged.
Run.
Wiping the bottoms of his feet on the floor at her, he took off at a brisker pace towards where he thought the medical bay/infirmary to be.

Mr. Tiger. Dressed only in a bath towel. Carrying Miss Kitty. Knocked out. [i]What on earth are you doing to her???[/i] Leona wondered in horror as she hid behind a hapless student while watching the tiger Faunus freeze and tense up. Her mind was muddled and confused as she stood in horror still. [i]Wait a minute, am I jumping to conclusions again?[/i] Her expression looked more calm, or blank, but still in the same confused as before as she tried to piece together what exactly was going on. Using her hands and fingers to determine possible reasons for them to be like this, the other students were getting her attention, too. Wait, were there more than before?

All of a sudden, Tiger boy bolted out of there, still carrying Kitty girl. "NOO!! KITTY!!" Pushing the student she was using as cover away, she punched into the air, a ball of energy shaped like a fist chasing after Tiger boy. Going into the position of an athletic sprinter, she sprung into a full on sprint, chasing after him, unmoving determination.

[B]"NOO!! KITTY!!"[/B]
What? Was she referring to him or Michelle?

He turned just in time and his senses flared, going haywire as he saw an odd ghostly fist fly at him. Skidding to a halt, he quickly leaned backwards as the fist narrowly missed him and smashed an unfortunate wall that happened to be in the way. Blinking, a bead of nervous sweat dripped from his forehead as he looked at the damage. Straightening up, he saw the female faunus tearing a path towards him. Whatever she was thinking, she was serious. White 'stripes' appearing on his skin and his blue eyes darkening into a red hue, he bared his teeth at her as a growl rumbled in his chest. Just what the hell was she thinking? He held someone hurt in his arms and she was chasing after him, [i]attacking[/i] him?

Raising his voice, he barked a few words out at her.
[B]"CIRCULUS VITIOSUS!?[/B] he roared.

He had to think quickly, how could he get out of this situation? He was in no position to fight, he was caught completely unarmed and he had Michelle to consider. As usual, he was in no mood to explain the situation to someone who seemed dead set on attacking first and asking questions later. So then he had to stick with his current plan of action. To continue running. But, his endurance still wasn't the best. He wouldn't be able to run for very far or fast while carrying Michelle, as light as she was. Shutting his eyes, he attempted to recall the brief image of the map of the school he saw while browsing his scroll. Where was the closest infirmary and fastest way to get there? He had a general idea but...

Wait.
Maybe he could use her. 

The female faunus didn't give him the impression of someone very graceful or intelligent. More so driven by emotion and quick to attack. Maybe he could egg her into attacking him more with those odd energy attacks and cut a straight line to where he needed to go. Once he dropped off Michelle into the professional medical care of Beacon, he could sort things out with the faculty and this other faunus there. Looking at the hole she punched into wall, he hopped through and stuck his head out so that the lioness faunus could see him. He wasn't good at making 'funny' faces so...how could get her attention?

Ugh, he'll hate himself for this later. He stuck his tongue out the lion faunus. Whatever. He didn't know what he was doing. He remember seeing the other children sticking their tongues out at each other during his time at Signal. He ran to the opposite wall of the room that the lioness faunus had punched a hole into and turned around. Now to see how she would react. He felt his cheeks growing hot and reddening from the face he made earlier. 

Damn it all, how the hell did he get himself into this crazy situation?

[i]SaveKittySaveKittySaveKitty[/i] was all that was running through her mind as she bolted after Kuhaku. Her initial attack had missed, instead blowing open a wall into another room. Normally, Leona would be concerned, or at least ashamed and in panic of the results of the faculty's reaction. But there were more pressing matters at hand, and she ignored the hole, focused purely on the kidnapper. Watching Kuhaku jump through the hole, she pressed onwards, unfaltering in her mission to save kitty. Then, of all things, the Tiger Faunus... stuck his tongue out at her? Was he mocking her? Was he really a bad person?

Did he really think he had a chance?

Upon closing in on the hole, she crouched down quickly and lunged through it, dedicated to capturing Kuhaku. She passed through the hole like a bullet, missing her target and crashing through the wall on the other side. More students watched in baffled awe at the living battering ram. To Kuhaku's surprise, she emerged from the other side, almost unscathed, although certainly her Aura still wasn't active after that kind of attack. "Release... Kitty..." Was all that escaped her mouth through ragged breathing before she reached for him again. No way was she going to let him get away.
