- Gangnam

@[B.E. Black Panther] Cho Hyunyoung Dara nodded. She wasn't one to be presumptuous or assume that people wanted her company. Aside from that, she rarely hung out with anyone outside of her gang or her family. She sighed and looked back at the woman, feeling bad. It hadn't been her intention to offend the female. "I'm sorry. I would like to. I've just got so much in my head right now and I can't really focus when I have to deal with emergencies every 5 seconds." She thought for another moment and shrugged off her hesitation. "You could always come to my home too. I live in a mansion in Gangnam with my boyfriend and family. If you're interested that is."

It wasn't that she would normally invite a stranger into their home, but this woman didn't scare her, not that much did and she could tell the girl was alone in the world. Maybe if she had some friends, she wouldn't have such a hard time. "We have another hybrid there too. She's a polar fox at the mansion, so you wouldn't be the only hybrid. Besides, we take good care of our pets. As far as we're concerned they're more than pets and we spoil them and train them to go after the other gangs when need be." She trusted her instincts and they told her that it was safe to disclose all of this to this woman.

She looked up at the woman after she'd finished answering her lover and her friend and sighed. She could nearly see what the woman was thinking. "Yes. I am dangerous, but only to people who mess with the one's I love. And the cops just did that. What's even worse is that it's my fault." She checked her weapons and reloaded her uzi, not sure if she'd need it when she got to the station.

The woman laughed. "Not if you're in your panther form and I don't plan to let them see us." She wasn't stupid. Breaking someone out wasn't something you did by walking in the front door. She'd never actually done this before, but she had the skills to do so and she'd finally get to test them.

The female shrugged at the knowledge that the hybrid didn't want to go. It's not like she had really expected her to follow. That was fine. She'd do this like she did most things: alone. It had been the way she was raised and even though she'd grown up along side Minseok, their parents being best friends, she was always trained separately and harder. There were few things she couldn't do.

"If you don't want to go, I understand, but I have to do this. He's my only biological family left." With that, she turn and ran off into the night, towards the station. She knew she'd need to put her gymnast training into effect tonight and that annoyed her, because she hadn't done it in a long time, but she had no other choice.

@[B.E. S-I-C] Park Sandara "No it's fine. I have plenty of clothes at my place and it's not really my style. Also...you seem pretty bad at taking hints." Letting out a sigh, a pout started to form on Hyunyoung's lips. Was she disappointed? A little bit. Maybe she had judged the woman's reactions wrongly, thinking that, even if not in herself in her human form, she had had some interest in her, as a hybrid. Guess she was wrong. Either that or she was playing hard to get. "It was actually an invitation for you to come over someday but guess you're not really interested."

Pulling up the zipper of the jacket a bit further, Hyunyoung moved another step back into the shadows. By now she almost disappeared into the darkness, only her face was illuminated by the street lamps, her eyes twinkling in a deep green. Since the other was answering her phone again, Hyunyoung was getting ready to leave. As much as she had some interest in the woman in front of her, the hybrid knew that it was only a question of time before someone would appear. After all the had been gunshots echoing through the quiet night not too long ago. there was most likely someoe to call the police and she definitely didn't want to be seen like that.

The smile on her lips never disappeared, even when she heard the other cursing. Seemed like the other wasn't that calm and friendly after all, after seeing her demonic smile when fighting, Hyunyoung was almost 100% sure that the woman was more dangerous than she actually looked like.

"Actually...I don't think that's a good idea. Rather than being of help, won't the police think I was if I just walk in like this?" Time for her to play hard to get. Also, Hyunyoung rarely used her hybrid powers, knowing that it wouldn't end well for her opponent, especially when it was just a human. After having killed one person she had vowed to use her powers wisely. "I would only hinder you since I'm not a fighter." A lie, but it was for the better.

@[B.E. Black Panther] Cho Hyunyoung Looking down at her arm, Dara just shrugged. "You can keep it. I have a bunch more just like it and if I need a new one, I'll just buy it." It's not like she didn't have the money. Since Minseok and her families had been a big part of the Bronze Eagles, both of them had been left huge sums of money. She never had to worry about anything. Whatever the woman wanted, she bought.

Looking at the sky again, she sighed. There were more guys out there that had gone after her family. This time it was the cops. They'd gotten her brother while he was keeping an eye on some gamblers for her. The men owed her money, but somehow the cops had only arrested her brother.

When her phone rang again, she checked the number and answered it. It was her brother. "What happened?" She listened and laughed. "Do they not know who I am? I will get Minseok to send Youngji for you and I'll ask Boa if I can borrow B-Joo as well, since I don't have a pet. They will break you out and bring you to me. Just sit tight." She hung up and texted her boyfriend as well as her best friend.

It was weird since her best friend was the leader of another gang, but she'd known Boa long before she'd taken over. The woman had a good heart, unlike her. She had no heart. Well, except with her gang. She wondered if maybe she should consider buying a pet, because it wasn't likely she'd find one anytime soon. That was when Boa said that she had Joo busy doing something for the war that was about to start and Min said Youngji was out somewhere. She cursed violently. "Fine. I'll save him myself." She turned to walk away, then stopped. "You wouldn't want to come with me, would you? I'm breaking my brother out of the police station." She thought the panther hybrid would make a wonderful pet, but she didn't think the female would like that.

The woman wanted to see what she could do in her animal form before she made her the offer though. It would be nice to have a pet, finally, but she'd be patient if she had to.

@[B.E. S-I-C] Park Sandara "Well that's too bad I guess. Or maybe not?" Like any other girl Hyunyoung liked getting compliments, having all eyes on her. Seeing the lust in other people's eyes, knowing that they wanted her and only her and that they would do anything to get her was quite thrilling, in some way even intoxicating. It made her blood rush, made her heart beat faster, to be the only one who had the knowledge that no matter how much they craved for it, they would never get her. In other people's eyes Hyunyoung seemed to be a player, an easy girl yet noone had ever managed to touch her. Fooled by her sweet words, by her charming smile, they all became her puppets without knowing, doing whatever she wanted in the believe that in the end they would get her.

So of course, the female's compliment flattered her, but at the same time she was glad that the other would probably not try to hit on her. It wasn't that she wouldn't have liked it, but somehow Hyunyoung didn't feel like fooling this woman. From what she had observed that female seemed to be quite experienced in fighting, so she was definitely not just an ordinary human.

"Thanks." Taking the jacket from the other, a smirk started to form on her lips before she slipped into the piece of clothing. "Don't worry. Before anyone could me they would have their throat ripped open." Since the other wasn't much taller than herself, the jacket fitted almost perfectly, maybe a bit tight around the chest but it was bearable.

As the woman was answering her phone, Hyunyoung squatted down, searching for something in the pockets of the corpses on the ground. When she found what she had been looking for, she stood up and turned back to the woman, patiently waiting for her to finish her call. When she saw her getting ready to go, Hyunyoung reached out for her arm, holding onto her with one hand while the other was busy with scribbling her address onto the fair skin. Signing it with her name and a heart, hyunyoung finally let go of her, a mischivious grin on her face.

"Come and visit me when you're in that area. I'll make sure to wash your jacket for you."

@[B.E. Black Panther] Cho Hyunyoung Cho Hyunyoung Dara was normally a sweet person, but the guys who attacked her were also the ones who had recently hurt her family. She wasn't about to let them hurt anyone else. As she looked at their lifeless bodies, she calmed her breathing and sighed. This wasn't what she'd come out for. She'd just wanted to relax, but now, she would have to tell Minseok that they needed to watch out for these guys. Those must be the ones that Boa had told her about.

There were a few guys around the city and they were trying to form a new gang to overthrow the three that were already in existence. It made her want to laugh. She stood where she was as the panther turned back into her female form. She didn't even blink. She'd known she was a hybrid already, but the woman was definitely beautiful.

The woman was haughty and self assured. Dara smirked. She might not be as well endowed as Hyunyoung, but she could certainly get what she wanted and needed. Thankfully, she lived with her boyfriend and she loved him. She had for years. "Well, things happen and they clearly don't care who they hurt as long as they can take over the city." She wasn't about to let that happen. "I think you're beautiful either way to be honest. If I wasn't dating my leader, I'd hit on you." She liked women too, but preferred men generally. The night wasn't too chilly and now that her adrenaline was pumping, she was quite warm.

Taking off her jacket, she nodded. "Sure. Here you go. If you walk around like that, you might get ." She knew how some of the guys around here could be. When her phone rang, she answered it. "Yea? When? I will keep an eye out for them. Thanks for calling me Youngji. How's the rest of the gang doing? Tell Min I'll bring the stuff back that I told him I'd get from Bo." She nodded a few times and hung up. Pulling out her wallet and checking to make sure she had enough money with her, she nodded and got ready to go to meet the other gang leader.

@[B.E. S-I-C] Park Sandara That was definitely not what she wanted. If she had been in her human form, Hyunyoung would have most probably clicked her tongue, making a snarky comment. To squat down in front of a wild cat ad even wanting to pet it, that woman must have been out of her mind. Either that or she knew about the existence of hybrids, but even so, why on earth did she think that she was some kind of little kitty that wanted to be pet? How ridiculous. But before Hyunyoung could react in any way, her attention was driven to a few shadows moving behind the female.

A group of male appeared, the metallic guns in their hands reflecting the dull street lights. Her first instinct was to knock the guys out since they didn't even seem to notice her. it would have been easy, also she would have had the surprise effect on her side. Just that the ridiculous female already reacted before she could move a step. Watching her silently, Hyunyoung caught something like a sardistic glint in her eyes and by then she knew that the female in front of her couldn't be just a normal person. Well, it would be probably fun to play with her.

Moving back a few steps, Hyunyoung went deeper into the shadows, becoming almost invisible again as the female pulled out a gun, firing at the attackers. Although Hyunyoung didn't mind using violence to defend herself, there was a limit. After injuring those guys with knives it seemed...unneccessary...to finish them off by shooting them.

As the female turned back to her, Hyunyoung decided to tranform back into her human form, knowing that she couldn't communicate when staying an animal. "First off, I'm fine. Second, as if I would have let them hurt me. And third, I'm way prettier in my human form, don't you think so too?" Stepping out of the shadows, the female hybrid revealed her bare self, a confident smile gracing her lips. The problem with transforming back and forth was that clothes didn't tansform, so in order to not tear her clothes apart, Hyunyoung usually took them off before transforming, meaning she would be when transforming back into her human form. Not that she actually cared. Despite her sweet and innocent face, she had a voluptuous and alluring body that could drive most guys crazy. Nothing to be ashamed of.

"Mind lending me your jacket? I don't think people would let me walk around like this."

@[B.E. Black Panther] Cho Hyunyoung Dara felt small next to the magnificent creature. She'd always been fascinated by wild animals and she knew this one had to be a hybrid. After all, panthers were not native to Korea. She just stood and stared at the animal. Then as if she knew what the animal expected, she walked closer, squatted down and held out her hand palm up. She wanted the panther to know that she wasn't a threat and that she wanted to pet her because she found her absolutely fascinating and gorgeous. A smile graced her lips as she waited to see what the animal would do.

"Are you lost or do you live around here?" She wanted to help, but just then, a group of guys came out of nowhere and pulled guns on her. They didn't even pay attention to the animal, as if she weren't even there. Dara had been relaxed until she felt a knife against . That's when she snapped. "Don't move or I'll slice you from ear to ear." She laughed sardonically. "Honey this is about your up." She flipped him and had knives in most of the others before they could even react.

She then pulled out her uzi and began spraying the rest of the men with bullets. When the last one fell, she smirked and blew the smoke coming from the barrel. "You idiots should know better. Don't mess with the Eagles." She stuck put the safety back on and stuck the gun in the back of her pants.

As she looked back at the panther, she looked her over. "Are you okay? Those idiots didn't hurt you did they. Such a beautiful creature." She smiled and wondered again why the panther was in the middle of the city.

@[B.E. S-i-C] Park Sandara Staring up at the starry night sky, Hyunyoung let out a soft sigh, her fingertips pressed against the cold glass of the window. Just a bit longer and she would be back in the dark streets again, ust a little bit. Her eyes shifted from the stars to her own reflection, her emerald green eyes fixed on the shadow behind her. For a second she closed her eyes, slowly breathing in as she felt a pair of thick arms circling around her waist, plump lips pressing a kiss on her bare shoulder. She had to suppress the nauseous feeling when she caught a whiff of his breath, a mixture of alcohol and cigarettes. Reminding herself that she only had to endure it for a little longer, the short female turned around, the sweetest smile gracing her lips.

"Oppa. You should go and take a shower first." Before the male could even respond, his mind was still clouded by the alcohol, she already moved her fingers up to his shirt, slowly ing it. She hated it, but like this is was more likely for him to really leave the room. Time to use her secret weapon. Her lips started to form a pout, her voice changing from her usual to a cuter one. "You still smell like that girl from the bar. I don't want it." After that there was usually noone to refuse her request. Just like predicted, a few seconds later she heard the water from the shower running. It was her signal to move. She had to get out before he returned from the bathroom.

Quickly, her hands fished his purse out of his jacket, taking out several banknotes before she tossed the almost empty leather purse onto the bed. how could he even think that she was such a cheap . Clicking her tongue, Hyunyoung took a last glance at the still locked bathroom before she rushed out of the hotel room. Taking a cab, the young female went back to the tiny motel she was currently living in, carefully hiding the money in an old stocking in her suitcase before she stripped . Moving onto the balcony, her tiny flurry ears twitched as she registrated the sounds of cars honking, somewhere far away music from a nightclub echoing through the air. It was around this time of a day that Cho Hyunyoung felt truely alive.

Inhaling the cold air, the female eventually transformed into her animal form. Within a glimpse of a second her whole body was coverd with silky black flur, her emerald coloured eyes now resembling the deep green of a fir tree. Without any hesitation, the black panther jumped off the balcony, easily landing on it's paws before it disappeared into the darkness.

Hyunyoung didn't know how long she kept wandering around the streets, almost invisible in the darkness, but eventually, the panther hybrid settled down on a branch of an old oak tree, letting out a low growl. She didn'T really care if anyone noticed her, although she highly doubted it. Not many people payed attention when there were so many flashing lights and loud noises were distracting them so easily. After a moment of just lazily laying on the branch, though, she noticed a female standing below her, eyes fixed on herself. Seemed like in the end, someone actually noticed her.

Instead of a sigh, Hyunyoung let out another low growl before she pushed herself from the branch, landing almost without any sound in front of the female. Depending on how she reacted, Hyunyoung would decide on her next actions.

@[B.E. Black Panther] Cho Hyunyoung Dara was bored. It was a nice night and she loved looking at the stars. She went downstairs in the mansion and slipped on her sneakers. Walking out the door, she put on her jacket. She was wearing her short Jean shorts and thin, long sleeved t-shirt. It wasn't really chilly, but she knew better than to go out without a jacket. Closing the door softly behind herself, the woman made her way down the front steps.

Venturing out into the city, she breathed in the still night air. It was nice to be outside. She felt free, but it wouldn't last. She had too much to do before the city blew up. She knew that Boa and Minseok were counting on her and there was no way she'd let them down. Besides, this meant a great deal to and for her as well. She had tricks up her sleeve that no one knew about. Even Minseok would be shocked to find out what she was planning. He would be proud of her though. Hopefully, she'd do well and the Eagles and the Diamonds would gain more territory. The Han was strategic to the future of all of the gangs, but luckily the Diamonds and the Eagles were on good terms. Dara knew about the history between her boyfriend and the Diamonds leader. It didn't bother her though. She stumbled through the streets in search of something to entertain herself, but she wasn't having much luck. That's when she heard a low growl and immediately turned in a circle attempting to figure out where it came from. She saw a big black, beautiful animal. Being unafraid, but mesmerized, she stood there transfixed to the creature.
