Finally the pressure from the jaguar relents. The bruise blooming along his jaw and cheek muscles worsens as the adrenaline seeps from him. He pants hard as he drops the bamboo that is covered in spit and blood. His own tongue falls from his lips as he is unsure if the blood is the cat's or his own. Standing there with his head hanging low and his shoulders hunched, he closes his eyes for a moment. Taking the time to catch his breath, he is stirred from the moment when he hears a stir of leaves. Opening one eye, he sees the lifeless cat's muscles twitch. A dying endeavor to try and continue, but Akito knows it is pointless. He has won this battle. Whether that cat deserved it or not, Akito was proud. He had helped save Tojo from danger.

Akito glances up at Hattori once he has taken a few collective breaths. "What do we do with it now?" He questions softly. Do they have a ceremony? Do they strip it? Do they leave it at the gate as a warning?
