This was one of those embarrassing, undignified moments Aki would try hard to forget later.
When the little squirrel abruptly became a roaring bear, Aki fell backwards with a snarl, heart lunging into his throat. His mind instantly leaped to fight or flight mode--and his first impulse was fight. In an instant, he was no longer a human, but a wolf, which was quite unfortunate since the problem of clothing didn't enter his adrenaline-crazed mind until it was too late.
Growling, a wolf trapped in a mess of human clothing, Aki scrambled about trying to shake the cloth off him, pawing at his face and head to try to get his head out of the shirt. But even as he struggled to free himself, the danger passed--now the bear was a bird, pecking at his fur.
He was going to kill this thing!
Whipping around, Aki snapped his jaws at the bird--and fell over when his feet tangled in the clothing.
"I am going to rip you apart and crush your bones until there is nothing left to tear, whatever the hell you are," he said, mental voice annoyed.
As soon as he freed himself, that is.
