(A/N: Since this a stopgap/ branching path, I hope this doesn't count as a "short chapter")
All right, no more messing around, time to actually get some TF in this story branch. Show the bandits that nobody messes with the Siblings of Fang and Claw and leaves unscathed, and unleash your Inner Beast! Since no information was given as to what Akane's IB was in the previous chapters, *YOU* get to decide. Now obviously there's a lot of animals to choose from, and so I'm going to lay it out like this: choose from one of the following general categories(or add your own), and then you can add a specific kind of animal from there. Let' kick some bandit ass!
