The sleek silver and black body bunches and coils as Yu paces back and forth. His sharp eyesight caches each movement, every twitch, even the slightest shift as the events unfold before him. In the shadows beneath an overhang he goes unnoticed in the darkness. He is a good twenty feet away from the goings-on between the humans, but he catches every word as the young man tries to talk his way out of a confrontation. [i]'Smart. It is best not to fight when a fight is not needed'[/i] The wind drifts past again but this time along with it's warning he catches the scent of the humans. [i]'That rancid odor. They all have it, save for the little one. He smells better, more open, closer to the earth'[/i] His head perks up, ears forward as his body stiffens. [i]'They will let him go? I did not sense such honor in them. . .'[/i] The only part of him that moves as the boy reaches for his little device is the very tip of his tail.

It twitches slowly back and forth as he concentrates on the scene. He's never been wrong before, but there's always a fir- [i]'Shameless be-fouler!'[/i] His fur, already stiff from the tension, flares out. His tail becomes a large poof as it stands up rigid behind him, the injustice if the situation drawing a fierce snarl from his chest. The sound goes unnoticed by the humans as a loud car rumbles past one street over. [i]'Vile, putrid things!'[/i] His anger boils, so long unused but still as fierce as the day it was born. As the cruel humans pile atop the already battered boy Yu leaps down from his lookout spot and stalks rigidly towards them. His lips are pulled back in a furious snarl, and his movements are more like that of an angry dog than a ticked off cat.

Using his size to it's full advantage he draws in a deep breath and practically roars at the youngsters. The sound catches their attention and as all eyes turn to him the looks behind them anger him even further. [i]'Nothing has meaning for these children. Everything is beneath them, and not worth considering'[/i] The one standing with it's foot over the boy's face laughs openly. 

“What's this? A little holo protector kitty?” He looks down at the young man beneath his shoe. “Do you really think something like that's going to save you?” 

Yu can't take it any more. In an instant he charges, launching himself towards the center of his anger. He has just long enough to look up before the image before his eyes shift and instead of a feline in mid pounce, a man is flying directly at him. The youkai's claws extend and sink deep into the shocked boy's shoulders and as he falls backwards with Yu atop him, Yu's tail lashes out. It coils around the throat of the one sitting astride the tormented child and as he lands his gives the appendage a sharp jerk. The kid goes flying, freeing the young man to do as he will now that all attention is on the nude man with feline body parts. His claws sink further into the bully's flesh drawing a long scream from him. Speaking above the howl of pain Yu hisses, “You do not deserve the breath The Creator has given you.” Sanding he turns to the others. His arms hang at his sides, the muscles still tense as the blood drips from hooked claws. The owner of that blood dissolves into fearful mumblings as he tries to scoot away from Yu, and the group looks tense and ready to scatter at any second.
