This was not good, not good at all. Yuki looked between the two pairs who seemed to be on the verge of knocking eachother's heads off at this point. Yuno glared at them, she did not mind if they took eachother out to be honest, the less people around, the less threats there were. A growl however stopped their thoughts. Yuki turned his attention towards the gates, where a huge dog stood. It would not have looked so out of place, had it not been for the replaced jowels of the beast. They were made of metal now, sharp and definitely looked like they could easily slice someone appart.
Yuno tensed, as the dog raised its head, letting loose a loud howl that mad the others have to cover their ears a bit. In the distance, more barking arose, and it was getting louder. "Yuki!" Yuno grabbed his hand, immediatly giving him a tug to pull him along. He glanced back, to see the others scattering as well. Staying out in the open with a bunch of dogs that could possibly be like the one they had seen would be foolish. Yuno tugged him along towards a house, trying the knob and being thankful that it opened. Jerking him inside, she slammed it and locked it. Yuki backed away, staring at the door.
"D-dogs? Really?" it was a bit random but at the same time for their first challenge, he supposed it was more simply about weeding out the weak. Made him swallow, they would most likely only get worse... Yuno had moved away already, searching through the closest rooms for a kitchen. Finding one, she began to rummage around within the drawers. Yuki glanced over from where he stood, what was she doing? His eyes caught a flash in the light though, as she pulled something from the drawer. A large butcher knife, her eyes on it. "Y-Yuno?" he looked at her. She looked at it a moment longer, before she turned to look at him.
"Don't worry Yuki, I'll protect you" she moved back out, grabbing his hand. Pulling him upstairs, she began looking for something more. Those men had given her an idea. In the master bedroom, sure enough she found it. A handgun. Yuki's eyes moved from the gun, to the blade on the bed, to Yuno. This was crazy. She couldn't be serious....she didn't expect him to... "Here Yuki" she took his hand, placing the gun into it. He froze, looking at the weapon within his hand. Yuno looking at him, could see his body freeze up, the confusion and fear in his eyes. She wanted to make it all better, but she also wanted to protect him. Her hand moved over his, causing him to look up at her.
She gave a smile, dispite her own inner turmoil. "You don't have to use it Yuki, I'll be there to protect you" she said. For now, they could have stayed there, they could have hidden out and let the dogs weed out the others. But then again, they were dogs. Already, Yuki could hear barking in the distance. Yuno picked up her knife, her eyes taking on an intense look. "We need to find somewhere safer Yuki" she said. Someplace she could have a better vantage point, and keep an eye on things easier. Taking his hand, she pulled him from the room. "Wait...you don't honestly mean we're going...out there again?" he asked.
She said nothing, opening the front door. Yuki swallowed, as she stuck her head out looking both ways. "Come on Yuki" she said, before making a move out the door. He could have stood there forever, frozen in place. Closed and locked the door, and hoped this all went away. But...His eyes followed Yuno. She turned back, waving at him. He swallowed, closing his eyes for a moment. He found himself running, following her down the street. They were moving away from the park and towards...he did not know where. After a bit however, Yuno began to slow her pace. She moved back beside him, her eyes moving from side to side with a frown on her face.
Yuki soon began to pick up on it to, the sound of growling and paws. He swallowed, looking around to see flashes of forms along the buildings. A growl to the right, and suddenly a dog was leaping out at them. Yuno placed herself between Yuki and the dog, slashing out with her knife. There was a yelp, and the dog fell. It was not alone though, as more began to emerge from the spots between buildings. Yuki stepped back, as Yuno moved forward head long into danger. How...how could she do that? So easily go face the rabid beasts? She acted like she wasn't even afraid at all, like this was just another day. He clenched his hands, and felt something within.
The gun...She had given him the gun from before. He glanced at her, and noted something she did not seem to notice herself yet. A large dog was moving up behind her. She was focused on the ones before her, on protecting him. He swallowed, no.....she...he couldn't let her die. She was trying to protect him. Even in this hell that had just sprung up around them, she was acting calm and collected. She was looking after him, when he felt like he was more on the verge of a break down. No. Yuno. The gun went off.
