Just as panther Akasha leaped towards her intended target, one of the guy with whom he was speaking with had the reflexes to use his power and throw himself in between the panther and her "prey". The new boy's arms turned jet black, a metallic tint to it with blue energy crackling. Whatever that was, it looked like a very convenient power, and it looked strong as well.

The first thought that occurred in Akasha's mind before the darkness came to be, was he just like her? Could he transform himself into a beast? If so, to what kind of dangerous animal these claws belonged? Her train of thought disrupted as the guy positionned himself in a readied stance to block the panther's jump. Was he really that confident to stop a large feline predator with pure might? Akasha's heart was beating faster, excited to be about to collide with that kind of person. 

And then the darkness befell on the area. At first, it seemed like fog just quickly settled in, but then it turned all black, just as if night had fallen just as quickly as the mist thickened. It was no use, the panther was already in the air when this all happened, there was no way Akasha could move mid-air. Even if leopards are gifted with nocturnal vision, this was no natural darkness. Even in this case, she could not see anything even at arm's reach.

And so, Panthera collided with the demon-looking arms guy. When her chest first impacted,, she could sense a tremendous amount of force trying to hold her off, and that caught Akasha by surprise. By the gods above, could he actually manage to lift her off easily like that? But then, it seemed as if the darkness made the guy lose his balance, and despite a respectable effort to hold the panther off, they both fell on the ground, Akasha yet again on top.

Looks like it was her win again at this game of "King of the Hill", but this time Akasha felt as if she just barely managed to get out on top of this round. Such potential strength, the panther girl kind of wanted to see more of it.

Sitting on top of her newly defeated foe, the panther approached her face close to the man's face. She tried to see what he looked like more up-close, but it was no use with the thick black fog. At this moment, all she could do was to wait for the fog to clear up. 

Then, the black leopard began licking the boy's face, as a sign of growing affection towards him.

Not staying for long in this state, considering she had already won, Akasha would've returned to her normal self by the time the fog would fade. When that time would come, everyone around would probably see the scene of a messy-looking young woman sitting on a guy's chest with her face merely inches away from his.
