Me and Damian head back to the room unsure what to do since this period on our schedule was blank. Were they unsure on what our full schedule should entail. We decided to do the homework we got from Ms. Archer in Arcane Classification. We grabbed our stuff for Arcane Classification and headed for the library and look and see what different Shifters races interest us the most. I just opened a book on a Shifter known by Yuxa but some spell it Yuha also known as The Sly Snake. Snakes always intrigued me. I've always wanted one so I looked up more about this Yuxa Snake Shifter. It's labled as a snake but the picture makes it look more like some sort of dragon serpent thing rather than a snake. "Hey Iris check this one out." Damian showed me a picture and it was labled Bakeneko which showed a picture of a person with cat ears and a tail with a cat beside it. "That looks like a Nekomata. So what's a Bakeneko?" I asked Damian confused. Damian read some of what the book says "While the Bakeneko and the Nekomata are very similar in looks the main difference is that while a Nekomata has two tails a Bakeneko has only one tail." while Damian read the book he ran his finger over the lines he was reading. "Um that sounds confusing." I said scratching my head. "I think I'm going to do the similarities and differences between a Bakeneko and a Nekomata as my assignment topic for Arcane Classification." Damian said before I showed him the picture of the Yuxa again "And I'll do this Yuxa thing for mine." I said. We continued to read about and worked on Bakeneko, Nekomata, and Yuxa for our Arcane Classification homework for first period. We finished our homework before the period ended so we decided to go back to the dormroom. When we exited the library we turn to see Ash and Emily exiting a classroom at the end of the hall with other students so we walked over to them. "Hey baby." Damian said pulling her against him. I walked up to Ash. He grabs me before he pulls me against him. "Miss me Iris?" Ash asked leaning down to kiss me and I couldn't resist those lips of his. We went towards to the dorms as we were walking through the courtyard with the boy's arms swung over mine and Emily's shoulders before we got stopped by Zech and three of his fellow muscle bound lackies. "What can we do for you four losers?" I asked with sarcasm. "I offically challenge you Iris Black to a Shifter Fight." Zech points at me before looking over his shoulder "Trevor go to the Headmaster and Headmistress and tell them my challenge and who I'm challenging." Zech turns back towards us "Their dearest granddaughter Iris." Zech smirks after calling me Alice and Arthur's granddaughter. Ten minutes later both Alice and Arthur arrived in the courtyard. "Mr. Stevens says that your challenging Ms. Black to a Shifter Fight. Am I correct Mr. Travis?" Arthur asked stepping beside Zech. "Yes Headmaster I challenge Iris to a Shifter Fight." Zech said confirming what Arthur asked. "And what do you say to his challenge Ms. Black?" Arthur asked turning to me. I shrug "Why the fuck not?" I asked with sarcasm with a smirk while I still have Ash's arm over my shoulder. I see Alice smiling either like "Ah young love" or "What a brave Ōkami stepping up to an unknown challenge" and I know Arthur is just staring daggers into Ash. "For those who don't know a Shifter Fight is exactly as it sounds. A fight between Shifters it could be of either the same or different race of Shifter. In this case its Wolf v.s. Panther. The winner is decided by one of three way until one of you is unable to continue, one of you yeilds, or when one of you is dead and here is to be no outside interference. Those who interfere will face consequences of the attacked unless the one attack that attacks them is for example Mr. Robertson attacks Ms. Black so she would win or for Mr. Stevens to attack Mr. Travis. Am I clear?" Arthir asked all I did was nod. "These three are my only friends so far." pointing to Damian, Emily, and Ash "I really don't plan to lose to Zech." I said as I step up to Zech and tilt my head down an inch because I'm just slightly taller. "Zech did you forget everytime you stepped up to me I had you backing up with your tail between your legs expecially after you dared to put your hands on Emily. This allows me to take my anger about that out on you. It was wise-ish to choose me and not Damian because he'd say forget about incompassitation Zech. I'm ginna kill him. And once you set or accept any challenge you're not able to back out." I said with an emotionless face. I turned and looked towards Arthur "Now when are we doing this?" I asked not caring when I'm able to sink my fangs into Zech's flesh. "That would be Mr. Travis' decision Ms. Black." Arthur turned towards "So Mr. Travis when and where shall this Shifter Fight be?" Arthur asked. "Hey Zech why not here and now?" I asked with a fanged smile after I shifted my teeth into fangs. Zech growled out of anger "Fine you're on. Let do this." Zech said grinding his teeth. We both strip our clothes off and shifted. Him into a four foot tall and five foot long Black Panther and me into a six foot tall and six foot long White Wolf which means I have the advantage in both size and weight. "Alright let this Shifter Fight..." Arthur looks to Zech then me but neither of us are looking at him we were looking at and ready to rip each other appart "BEGIN!!!" Arthur yelled out. After Arthur called for the start of the fight in the blink of an eye I went from were I was to right behind Zech. Zech looked ahead of him confused on where I went. "ZECH BEHIND YOU!!!" Trevor yelled out but it was too late because I was leaping onto and flattened Zech on the ground. Zech started to flail around under me. I slammed both my front paws near his neck before Zech was able to slip out from under me. When he fully got up we started to circle each other. Zech charges and leaps at me. All I did was lift up on my hind legs and I swat Zech away simply like a fly showing that I have the speed and power advantage against Zech so far in this fight. "Oh!" the crowd called out while watching the fight. I place a paw down and slowly apply pressure to Zech's head. I started adding more and more pressure. Zech was scratching at the paw pressing on his head but he was starting to slow down. I bent down toward Zech's head and growled. Zech stopped moving and I also saw his eyes closed. I growled down at Zech before howling in the air. Arthur came over and saw the condition Zech is in. "It's over." Arthur called out "Ms. Black is the winner." Arthur noticed I haven't gotten off Zech and that I was looking down while growling at Zech. "Iris its over." Arthur said stepping forward my head whipped up and I growled at Arthur before I decided to grind my paw into Zech's skull as I growled at Arthur. "Baby it's over you won." I heard from a familiar voice and turn to see Ash "Back up Mr. Robertson." Arthur said before he stood between me and Ash. I got off Zech before I turned towards them and growled. Arthur turned in my direction and took a step back at the dark look in my eyes before Ash stepped in front of Arthur and put a hand on my muzzle before running the other from my head and down my neck. I nuzzled at Ash's face and neck with my muzzle. I turned around at Zech's damn near lifeless body and growled before we walked away
