After waking up, he had managed to get himself back to his dingy little apartment. It had taken him hours to get there, dragging his broken and battered body inch by agonizing inch across the ground. His fingers were bleeding from the many rocks and cracked surfaces he had cut himself on, and his body wasn't in much better shape, covered as it was in scrapes, scabs and burns, both from the dragging and from that damn fox's Celestial attacks.
The high school junior was currently staring up at the cracked and pitted ceiling of his bedroom, his eyes glazed over and unseeing, his mind lost in limbo. His entire body felt like someone had dipped it in boiling lava, like his cells were being ripped apart molecule by molecule. Never in his life had he felt so much pain. Nothing, not even the fights he'd had with his sister or old man could have prepared him for the agony he was now feeling. The pain was unfathomable.
None of that mattered to him. The pain, the agony, the torture of his body being invaded by a thousand needles piercing his skin due to the Celestial powers of that bitch who had nearly killed him. None of it. All that mattered was the agony of his defeat, the knowledge that he had lost to a Kitsune. A Kitsune of all creatures! He was an Inu! A proud warrior! A fighter of incredible strength and power! A creature that all Kitsune were supposed to fear! And yet that fucking little whore of a fox had nearly killed him! Him! He who was the son of one of the greatest Inu to have walked the Earth in a thousand years! A Yōkai whose strength was known far and wide to match those of the legendary Kyuubi! To suffer such a defeat from a two-tails (of all things) was a disgrace to his heritage!
The mere thought of that fox bitch made his wounds burn like nothing else, yet he did his best to ignore this as he focused not on his defeat, but on how he would get his revenge. He didn't know why that bitch had left him alive. Maybe she had been too worried about her toy, or perhaps she was just one of those soft-hearted little sluts that couldn't bring themselves to kill another living creature. Or perhaps it was just a Plot Device being used by The Author in order to give the readers more Shōnen Style fanservices.

...
Wait. What was he thinking about again? Oh, right. The fox bitch. Whether the two-tailed bitch had let him live as an act of mercy or because she was just too soft to kill him didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was that he had been given an opportunity to exact his revenge, and he would not be wasting it.
He would need help though. As much as it pained him to admit it, that red-haired slut was stronger than she looked. Those strange light balls of hers packed a serious wallop.
Fortunately, he knew exactly who to get in touch with in order help him. While he didn't particularly want to call her for a favor, he didn't have many options. If nothing else, he knew she would get the job done.
Laying there on his bed, his body still black and crispy, Chris began to laugh a devious, diabolical laugh. You know, the kind of laugh all insane Shōnen Manga antagonists have. "Hehehe... Hahahahaha... HAHAHAHAHA... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA―ack! Gods fucking dammit! My spleen!"
Okay, so maybe he shouldn't try the Evil Villain Laugh until after he fully healed.
