A/N: Hey guys, long time I know. But I've been busy with school and everything. So I haven't written much. However, writing my own twist of Little Red Riding Hood, with you guessed it… Shizuru and Natsuki as my main characters – they are my OTP. Though this story is inspired by the Little Red Riding Hood song for the movie – Well that's it, I hope you guys enjoy it ^^
Little Red Riding Hood
It was an ordinary day like no other… Except the fact that Shizuru Hood had to go deliver and check up on her grandmother across the Evergreen Forest which was filled with predators lurking within the shadows, just ready to pounce. Shizuru had grown tall since she was a child, her red eyes piercing the souls of those who looked at her and her chestnut wavy hair swinging side to side as she filled her basket with the cakes and buns her grandmother enjoyed. On rare occasions Shizuru would take the path through the forest but no one would be home for another week and Shizuru wanted to be with her grandmother on the anniversary of her grandfather's death.
Everyone had heard of the legend, of the wolf within the forest – sure enough, that's what killed Shizuru's grandfather, or so that's what everyone believed. The Evergreen Forest was a place to be feared, but Shizuru had never seen or even heard the howl of this supposed wolf – so what was there to be scared of? After Shizuru had packed everything for her day up at her grandmothers she left the cottage, locking the door behind her, with a clink of the locking of the door. She turned and looked at the forest as her house faced out toward it; she took in a deep breath as she set off on her journey to her grandmothers.
A low growling and groaning could be heard within a cave hidden deep within the Evergreen Forest, the noises coming from a wolf-girl. It was bizarre, to how she took on the appearance of a wolf but a girl at the same time. Her hair ran all the way down to the very bottom of her ass, where it swayed side to side as she stretched, her ebony hair shimmering within the little light that crept through the canopy of trees. Her tail shaggy and ruffled peered through her hair, splitting the bottom of her hair into two parts at the end of it, whilst her ears protruded fluffily through her head.
Whilst many would imagine her to be naked and living freely within the woods, she did at one point spend some time with a kind elderly man who brought her clothes, as the wolf girl was around the same age as his granddaughter and they were about the same size. Unfortunately, just like Shizuru Hood, the elderly man that this wolf-girl had grown fond of had died as well, within the Evergreen Forest, proving that the forest was a dangerous place.
"Nat-suki.." That's what the wolf-girl murmured, her name. Natsuki was still quite young but yet not so young. She always spoke her name when she woke up before she went on a hunt for her breakfast. Which, for today was going to be fish as the river was filled with fish, making it easy to catch. Natsuki had learned to survive on her own from a young age as she was abandoned by her pack for her abnormality.
As Shizuru followed the path that her grandfather had marked out for her with the many times he would visit them. She could hear off in the distance strange noises, but there were always strange noises, she wouldn't expect anything less. She hummed the tune her that had been passed down generation to generation to keep away bad auras or evil creatures. It always reassured her.
Shizuru had only made it half-way through the forest when she could see the sun high in the sky, just about able to penetrate through the leaves of the tree. She sighed, stopping and sitting down on a rock and taking out one of the buns she had packed, nibbling on it as she listened to the birds sing to each other. She enjoyed listening to the birds and everything around her whilst she was in the forest. It always relaxed her; Shizuru always remembered her fond times with her grandfather. The way he would sing, or make up funny stories as they walked through the forest.
Natsuki could smell a familiar smell as she finished her breakfast; sniffing the air she slowly began to follow her nose. She let out a howl as she found a definite track towards this smell which reminded her of something, but she couldn't think of what it was. But the smell, it made her teary eyed for some unknown reason to her.
As the howl rang throughout the forest, birds flew away from the direction that Natsuki was coming from. Scaring Shizuru, as it must have been the wolf… The wolf that killed her grandfather. Shizuru got up immediately, grabbing her basket filled with cakes and buns, dashing as fast as she could up the path through the forest.
After running for a quarter of the way, Shizuru stopped. Breathing heavily as she leaned against a tree. She knew instinctively that there was no way she could outrun a wolf. Especially if it picked up the smell of a human within the forest, Shizuru was scared but had to think of something. She looked around for something, she sighed, "Of course, nothing… Wait… Maybe." Shizuru looked upwards, looking at all the trees, to how tall they were.
Natsuki could sniff her way to where Shizuru had rested; she looked up the path that Shizuru had fled, continuing to follow the smell that was so familiar to her. As she reached the point where the smell ended, she looked around trying to figure out where the thing she was looking for could have gone.
Shizuru, stared down at the wolf-girl below her in shock and awe, she did her best to conceal her breathing so that she would not be given away to the wolf-girl as she hid in the trees away from this predator? Shizuru didn't know what to make of this situation, all she knew was that she should stay hidden.
A/N: I shall end it here, I hope you guys did enjoy it. It's just my wee spin off so far. I will continue if people ask for it. I don't know if I should or shouldn't continue, so I'll leave it up to you guys ^^
