Rashe glanced back to where Marco had disappeared to and resisted the urge to follow. "He's fine," he reasured himself, stocking close to the wall and glancing around

Marco hummed softly as he walked, keeping an eye out for his surroundings.

He pressed his back to the wall, hearing some voices around the corner
"You shouldn't have followed…"

Marco turned into another alley, pausing and pressing against the wall when he heard shadows.

(damn good hearing, didn't know you could hear shadows XD)
Rashe peeked around the corner and saw threem men surrounding another, taunting him. "Now look what you've done..now we have to kill you to keep our little secret." The man purred, stopping close to the man
Rashe stepped out casually and crossed his arms on his chest "now sir is that necessary?" He asked with a cocky smile

(Meant saw, not heard…)
Marco had slipped into the area in the former of an alley cat, his dark fur glinting with a sleek sheen as he stepled close staying in the shadows as he studied the group.

"move along, boy. You have no business here." The man growled, turning to face Rashe.
"Excuse you but I'm 25, I'm no boy. As for this being my business, don't care. I happen to stubble into things that usually aren't my business, I've never gotten hurt." Rashe leaned against the wall "what he do?" he asked, jerking his head to the man cowering in the corner

Marco listened carefully, tail flicking as he carefully slipped in front of the cowering male.

"he knows something he shouldn't." The man said simply, tilting his head at Rashe "leave,"
Rashe laughed softly "mmm no. I quite like it here. Now if you let me leave with him, I won't bother you again." He smiled sweetly, glancing at Marco then back at the man who had swiftly gotten in front of him fairly quickly

Marco watched him, waiting for when he was needed, twisting around the captive man's legs.

The man flinched but didn't try to move the cat away
"Kid I'm warning you, you don't know what you're messing with the wrong guy." The man growled, closing in very close to rashe, the others flanking him
"you won't live."

Marco's fur stood on end at the words, and he stopped moving at the other's feet, staring at the leader. If he makes one wrong move….. he thought.

Rashe laughed and pulled his knife out, flipping it easily in his hand "see, I have a bit of a problem. With dying." He grinned and pointed the knife at the man's chest, flancig over at the other two "you won't make it in time to save him."

Marco's ears twitched as he stood ready, not wacting to reveal himself toon soon.

One of the other men spoke up "we may not be able to save him but we can kill you."
Rashe rolled his eyes and pulled the knife back "you can try, hell I'll even give you a free try." He splayed his arms out and dropped the knife to the floor "go ahead, 'kill' me."

Marco moved, twining around Rashe's legs, purring softly.

"ah now you're warming up to me kitty?" He laughed softly and glared up the men "you really don't want to mess with this one," he warned, picking Marco up.
"Right…." The man got so close that rashe could smell the tobacco on his breath "you're so dead."

Marco purred even more in spite of himself, relaxing in Rashe's arms. *Still waiting for those thugs to attack, but in the meantime this is bliss…."

The man tore the cat away from rashe and tossed it aside. He pinned rashe against the wall by the throat and lifted him off the ground "you should've left." He growled, squeezing tighter on rashes throat.
Rashe gasped for air, starting to see his vision got off. He wrapped his arms around the man's arms and tried to concentrate on his abilities

Marco yelped as he was thrown against the wall, before shifting to the form of a large tiger and tackling the man, snarling in his face, causing him to faint from shock.

Rashe dropped to the groundand gasped for air. He glanced at Marco before standing and facing the other two men

Marco snarled at the other two, pressing against Rashe, his tail lashing.

Rashe picked up his knife, and turned to one of the men while Marco took on the other
"What are you?!" He yelled at Rashe preparing to fight.
"Your worst nightmare." Rashe growled before knocking his opponent out with the hilt of his knife, drawing blood from his mouth

Marco roared and took down the other man, clawingredients his shoulder and leg, shock causing him to pass out. Shifting back to human form he smiled. "And that's taken care of." He said happily.

Rashe nodded, his heart still pounding at the rush of the fight. He turned and faced the man who they saved, slowly walking to him
"Who…who are you…" He asked, trembling
"Like I said to the guy, your worst night mare."
