He quickly run into the bathroom as the warm blood runs down his paws with every step that he took. The door of the bathroom greets him with a warm welcome, as he forces his way inside the small crowed bathroom. He quickly turns on the cold water and let it run for a while as he begins to pieces together on what happened just now, but no matter how much he tried, nothing comes to mind. He looks down at his paws and stares at the blood covered in them. A warm and calming feeling come over him as he continues to stares at the dark red liquid on his gloveless paws.

A feeling that only Badgerclops can give him, is now around his claws. Mao Mao shakes his head furiously as he shoves his paws into the cold water. The coldness over took him again as the water runs down, removing the blood away from his claws. Mao Mao begins to tears up as he remembers the longing of Badgerclops’s touch on his defect body, the sadness of never being able to hold him in his warm arms, and the pain of not being able to kiss his perfect lips. He continues to wash the pain away as he looks deeper into the water. There was no reflection, there was nothing staring him back, only the emptiness and sadness. ‘Maybe...I am really...not a....hero...after all...’ Mao Mao thought to himself as he pulls his paws away from the sink and wrapped them up with a white towel hanging on the wall. The white towel was slowly turning red as he continues drying his soft paws. 

I remember the first day that I felt this way...

The day that I truly felt alive for the first time...

The day that I met him...My Badgerclops

The living room was completely dark as he exits the lonely bathroom with a great shame in his heart. The darkness around him tried to comfort him but Mao Mao couldn’t feel anything anymore, only despair. He quietly makes his way into the bedroom again. As he was about to open the door of the bedroom, he stops in the front of the doors. A feeling of sadness crawling its way back inside him again. “Come on, Mao Mao! You can do it!” Mao Mao says as he forms a fist with one paw. He hastily grabs the knob and then turns it to reveal a world too familiar to him. A place and time where this feeling hasn’t yet bloom, but was planted deep inside his soul.

Mao Mao walks pass the bedroom’s doors and sees Badgerclops ,on the bed, drawing again. Mao Mao couldn’t help but to smile at the scene. ‘I wonder what he is drawing...maybe it's us fighting that monster earlier in the day or maybe that town we saved from the flames.’ Mao Mao continues to think about the multiple things that Badgerclops could be drawing. Mao Mao just places a paw on his left cheek and stand there thinking. It took a few minutes until Badgerclops finally notices him at the door.

“Ah! You scared me, bro!”Badgerclops yells as he quickly closes his art book. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scared you.” Mao Mao says as he covers his face with his green gloves with shame. Badgerclops just sighs and slowly got up from the bed, walking towards the embarrassed Mao Mao. He opens his arms wide and then wraps them around Mao Mao. “Hey Hey, it’s ok. I am sorry if I seem rude there. You just catch me off guard, that’s all.” Badgerclops whispers as he gently sits in the floor with Mao Mao still in his arms. Mao Mao felt so warm and so safe around his warm and soft arms. He really doesn’t want to let go, not ever. Mao Mao was about to say something but decided to just nuzzles deeper in Badgerclops’s big and warm arms.

There were no words needed to be said since they are in each arm and warmth. This peaceful scene was sadly interrupting as a huge crashing sound could be heard outside of the apartment that they were staying in. “What was that?” Badgerclops says as he lets go of Mao Mao and quickly ran out of the room, to see what is happening outside. ‘Why this crap again’ Mao Mao says to himself as he gets up from the floor and quickly chase after Badgerclops.

When he finally reaches up with Badgerclops, he could see the whole village getting destroy. As he continues to see the horrible scene in front of him, he finally saw what is causing all of this chaos. A creature that looks like a huge bird and dog hybrid is destroying everything in its path. “We have to stop it, before someone gets hurt or worse!” Mao Mao yells as he takes his katana out and tries runs toward the monster. Badgerclops just sighs as he expands his robo-arm out and grabs Mao Mao’s green cape. “Just wait a minute.” Badgerclops says as he pulls him back to his side. “We have to make a plan this time. I don’t want to waste time or ending up destroy the whole place, ok? You will attack the monster from the side as I distract it and hopefully this will lead the monster out of the village, got it?”

“Hmm...Ok! Let’s do this!” Mao Mao yells as they set everything in action. Mao Mao runs toward as the villagers began to scream and run away. “Ah, get out of the way!” Mao Mao yells as he jumps and finally reaches the creature. He attacks the beast from the sides as Badgerclops runs in front of it and begins shoot at it, and little by little, the monster is slowly moving towards the woods. “Almost there!” Badgerclops yells but he turns to see how Mao Mao is doing, the creature rises its claws up in the air and claws at him. He quickly blocks the hit with his robo-arm but this pushes him back.

“Badgerclops!” Mao Mao yells as he stops his attacks and runs towards Badgerclops. The monster uses this opponent and claws at Mao Mao’s back. “Mao Mao!!!” Badgerclops yells as anger quickly built up inside his chest. "You!” Badgerclops yells as he points his cannon arm towards the ground and blast towards the sky.

Time seems to freeze as everyone turns around to see Badgerclops, high in the sky, aiming his cannon arm at the monster. “DIE!!!” He yells as he fires the cannon. The whole sky becomes more brighter as the shot hits the monster, causing a blue and green hues flying everywhere. Everything got brighter as the monster disappeared into the air. Badgerclops looks around and saw Mao Mao still in the ground. He quickly ran towards Mao Mao. “Mao Mao!” Badgerclops yells as he gently wraps his arms around the black cat. He could feel his soft fur around his claws, Badgerclops tried his best to not cry or panic even more. Mao Mao could feel something warm around him and slowly opens his eyes and notice what is happening.

“Ah!” He quickly got up as a blush appears in his cheeks. He covers his face with his green gloves as the villagers gathered around them with claps and cheers. “Mao Mao, are you ok, buddy?” Badgerclops ask as the villagers’ cheers were getting louder. “Oh, Yeah.” Mao Mao says as he looks around him.


“I was just catch off guard by the cheers, that’s all.” He said as he puts his arms around his back. “Ok!” Badgerclops says with a bright smile. Mao Mao couldn’t help but to smile back at him. “Well, I will head back now, I need to finish that drawing! Oh, I smell cake!” He yells as the cheers becomes louder around them. “Ok!” Mao Mao yells back as he stood there a bit. ‘Ok, you can do this.’ Mao Mao said to himself as he begins to walk toward Badgerclops, but was stop as a hand reach out from the crowd of people and grabs his torn out green cape. “Hm.” Mao Mao turns around as he saw a fox girl holding him back. The cheers went dead silence as the girl took a letter out and give it to Mao Mao. “Do you want an autograph?” Mao Mao says as he pokes his cheeks a bit. “uh...can you give this to...b...Badgerclops, please.” The girl says as she looks down on the ground. “Oh!” Mao Mao grabs the letter and looks at it for a bit. There was no one around them, only the lonely trees of the woods. “Ok, don’t worry, I will give this to him. I promise!” He says as he gave her a thumbs up and bright smile. The girl’s eyes shine bright as she smiles back. “Thank you!” She says as she turns around to face the lake.
….
….
….

The letter was no longer in his hands, only his katana. There was no one around, no sound, only the cries of the crickets. Mao Mao looks around and notice that he was alone in the middle of the wood. The girl was gone and the moon begins to rise up to the stars-filled sky. He only remembers a cry for help but no one is here. He walks toward the lake and saw nothing, but the red water of a lost soul.

He looks down at his katana and finally noticed it was covered in that same red hue. He calmly cleaned his katana as the red hue washed away with the rest of the redness of the lake. He got up and begin walking toward the apartment again. There was no light to shine his way, only the moonlight can help him find his way.

As he continues his dark way back home, he could see that every buildings and house had their lights off. There was really no one here, just his thoughts. Thoughts of someone taking away that feeling from him. He won’t let that happened.

He is mine and no one else

No one else

Only mine

Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine,


Mao Mao just fell on the ground as he wraps his arms around his cold body. ‘A hero shouldn’t act like this, come get up!’ Mao Mao forces himself to get up from the ground and continue walking. He finally made his way back to the apartments; he opens the door and enter the dark-filled room. He noticed that Badgerclops was already sleeping on the bed.  ‘So cute’ Mao Mao says to himself as he grabs a pillow from the bed. He looks around for a spot to sleep but couldn’t found any but the hard and cold floor. He just sighs as he drops his pillow and slowly lays on the ground. He had his eyes, thinking about everything that happened today.

I didn’t do anything wrong.

I am protecting him from danger.

She was a danger to him and me...to us


“Yeah, I am just doing my job as a hero.” He said as looks up and sees Badgerclops sleeping peaceful. ‘I will do anything for you.’ He turns around and faces the window and could see the lonely moon, high up in the sky, waiting for someone special. Mao Mao just smiles as he slowly closes his eyes as the moonlight shined away from him, leaving him in the dark.

He opens his eyes again and finds himself sleeping outside the bathroom’s door. “...I guess, I didn’t do it...” Mao Mao says as he get up and looks at his red gloves. “So...that is what happened on that night...poor girl, she wasn’t never found, she had to know that he is mine and no one else.” Mao Mao says as his eyes widen. He got up and begin walking outside the empty and lifeless house. When he finally reaches outside, there was no sound of any life. The crickets were silent as the dark clouds cover the bright moon. The only thing that could shined his way back. He just continues walking until he found what he was looking for, the Ruby Pure Heart. He couldn’t help but to smile a bit as his collar forms a mini pure heart around his neck. He couldn’t hide it anymore, this feeling that is eating away in his chest and soul. The only thing that he actually wanted all his life, the thing that he will kill for to have it, his desire for Badgerclops.
