Tyger Tyger, burning bright

Usagi’s thoughts were similar to Hattori’s in that moment - why the hell was this tiger so invested in attacking the wolves unprovoked? It sas abnormal indeed, but Usagi wouldn’t stand there and let the foolish beast strike them all down. Thohgh they clearly outnumbered the tiger, its dagger-like claws, bulk, and massive fangs gave it a decent run in this impromptu match. Usagi braced himself as another member of the band, though a stranger to him still, grabbed the animal’s shoulder in her teeth, though the male was careful as the tiger swatted her off, eyeing the trio until the Shogun made his own move, grabbing the beast’s inner left leg to destabilize it. Usagi eyed the weak spots on the animal, spots that were considered a weakness in any beast, really - its angles and joints. A firm kick aith his powerful legs, along with the other wolves’ combined efforts, could surely help being it to its weakest - on its side. Exposing the animal’s belly or side would perhaps be the best way of ultimately taking it down, but whether it could happen was still unknown.

Usagi crouched, building up power in his hind legs. He sprang forward, quick and focused, leaping towards the tiger’s right hand leg. Before the beast could react, having been occupied at the front with the Shogun and the band member, he swiftly jutted out a hind leg in his jumping momentum and firmly jabbed it into the animal’s ankle joint. He didn’t think it would actually work, seeing as the beast had a much thicker skeleton, but he saw the leg buckle ever so slightly as the tiger yowled, now trying to whip back towards Usagi. The koi wolf skidded to a stop behind the tiger, glaring at it as it inviting it to try him even mire than it already had. His lips peeled back in a snarl, hackles raised as he anticipated the tigers’ - or his band members next moves. He knew he wouldn’t have much hope if the tiger so much as leaped onto him, but he waited for it to try and attack, noticing its back leg was sore where he’d managed to kick it.
