She was in Baska doing other's biddings as well. There was no end to this was there? Gerald, an old client that she couldn't forget, asked her to help with a special job. Something with boars and sicknesses. She forgot what the letter had entailed. The kitsune found a bench and sat down on it while rereading the letter as a refresher. She needed to find out what she had to do exactly to get the job completed. Her eyes read every word before she gave a firm nod and folded the letter back up. "So enraging and violent patients. Sounds like the perfect job for you" laughed Ragtime, he was trying to clear the air with what really was going on with him and his friend, but Lee was having none of that. She was too tired and dead set on just getting this job done. Gerald seemed to already not have enough time.

"It's affecting people and the local wildlife" she spoke out loud. Lector heard what she had said and gave a nod. They had to got to a specific location to find a pack of wild boar. They have been causing issues and is to believe they were the source of the sickness.

There was a spot with explict directions and percise location where to find the boars. They were very specific about where to go and what do it. "Only take one boar, huh? Interesting" smiled LeeAnn. She knew there was more to the story than really intended to be, but she wasn't going to ask. She was going to paid for it anyways. This was just another job, another thing to cross off her list. The guild needed the money. Lector took the letter from her hands and started to read the details. He pointed to the cordinatees that were given. "I can locate this from above." Lector volunteered for to fly upward and ahead. He was still in sight with her trailing behind casually. LeeAnn watched as she stopped and turned his body towards her with his paw pointing. She saw ahead a pack of wild boars. She continued downward towards them with Sting wielded in her hands. This was going to piece of cake. Boars were nothing but a pest. They ruined crops, the wildlife, and they did taste good. As much as she wanted a good barbaque, she had to put one down for Gerald. She was eyeing a good specimen from afar. LeeAnn had licked her lips, hungrily.

Something in her brain switched on when she walked towards the boar. Her inner predator must of clawed its way out. Perhaps she was half-wolf instead of half-fox. The kitsune felt a rush of thirst for blood, one she had not felt in a while. The last time she felt this way was with the crime lord in Hosenka. This feeling scared her, but felt great. Her eyes turned red as she marched up to the boar. LeeAnn was held back by Lector. His tail wrapped around her waist, pulling against her weight trying to break free. "Lee, please. Snap out of it, this is not you" he cried. The kitsune hissed as she snapped away from Lector.

"What do you mean? This is me. Lector, it's always been me" she told him. The exceed shook his head in a disagreement. Only if she could see what he was seeing. It was a 180-degree turnaround from a serious mage trying to do her job to a blood-thirsty monster craving blood like a vile beast. "Does the Lee I know want her hands soaked in blood? Does the Lee I stand for not care about the lives of others? Yes, this is only a boar, but what would happen if it were a real person" he spoke. The cat made sense for once in her life it chilled her to the bone. "I am sorry...Lector, let's just get this over with" she spoke. LeeAnn stared at the engagement ring Alex had given her. How could she turn into something and stare at Alex? He and Hikari were her newfound joys in her life along with a guild. Friends. Family. What would they think of her now? LeeAnn gripped Sting tightly in her fist and stood in front of a group of five boars. As she edged near, only one noticed her. The boar snorted and fug his hooves into the ground then charged at her. LeeAnn dashed at the Boar and with one swipe and a kick to the head the board was unconscious, but not dead. LeeAnn sighed and stare up at the other four boars.

They all were angry and rages that she attacked their friend. The more she thought about Alex and his sweet habits, she was really distracting herself. One of hte boars clipped her armor. She paused and stared at all of them. She stabbed one of the boars and managed to get the others out. They were not dead but relocated further into the wilderness, away from humans. There was some silence between her, Ragtime, and Lector. Everyone was silent. Alex was on her mind. She thought about him a lot lately. Finding her head in cloud nine and worried what he might think. Lee would keep finding herself staring at the expensive ring on her finger. It was a reminder of what exactly she was getting herself into, in a good way. Alex was a the perfect guy. She knew her father would be picky, very picky. Alex was just right. He was a good guy. When they relocated all the boar, they went back to the speicific spot where they defeated teh first boar. She carried it out of the forest and into town. Gerald was in his office doing his busy tasks. SHe knocked on the door to get his attention with the corpse of the boar in hand. "Ah, LeeAnn. Thank you, just leave it over there on the hospital bed" he mentioned. LeeAnn did that and stared at him for her reward. He handed her a large sum of money for her troubles. "I am going to buy Alex a new book, I think he needs more books" she thought.
