A Wolf's Journey
It was nearly noon and the sun was directly over the school building. As I came into the light, I looked upwards and was blinded by the sun. I shielded my blue eyes with my pale hand. I glanced back at the ground and turned my attention to my watch and shrugged.
I hesitantly walked into the sunlight and I was suddenly thrown to the ground. I fell hard against the pavement and felt pain course up my body. I pushed myself up and peered behind me. There I saw a brown-haired girl with the school uniform on. Her eyes were a light green and her skin was a slight tan. Her hair blew around her face and her hands were covered in dirt.
"Ira?" I asked.
"Hey Kerii!" She said with enthusiasm.
I rolled my eyes and threw off of me. As I got to my feet she grabbed onto my arm and wouldn't let go. I glared at her and growled, "Ira, you're annoying."
She pouted, "Oh come on, Kerii. Just because we've only known each other for a little while doesn't mean you have to be so cold to me."
I sighed and dragged her along as I walked to the other side of the building. She looked curiously around as we ambled along. I raised an eyebrow and then shook my head. Girls stared at us thinking we were the strangest things that they had ever seen. Truth is, they had no idea. To us, they were the strange ones.
Suddenly a red head ran at me and head butted me in the shoulder. I fell backwards and landed on top of Ira. The red headed girl scowled at me and it seemed like she was going to explode at any moment. Ira stepped in front of me and bowed.
"Please don't hurt Kerii. Whatever she did, I hope to atone for it." Ira said.
I sighed and pushed her gently out of the way. I asked, "What did I do, Areku?"
Areku smirked, "Nothing…really…"
I knew what was coming. She always started off slow and then burst at me. It was usually because I was the weakest person she knew and liked to take her anger out on.
"I saw you earlier in the parking lot!"
I said, "Yeah…so what? Is that a crime too?"
She suddenly burst, "No…what is a crime, however, is you not being yourself out there!"
Ira cocked her head and asked, "What does she mean, Miss Kerii?"
I explained, "She means that I wasn't in my human form."
Ira gasped and made her hair fly every which way. I grabbed her wrist and motioned for her to go to the roof. She nodded and slunk away.
Areku then grabbed my shirt collar and breathed in my face, "You forget who your leader is!"
I whimpered, "Yeah, well you know I can't let Ira see me as a groveling pup."
Areku nodded and released me, only pretending to suspend me in time, "Kabam!"
I froze and she laughed loudly making me fall down again. I rubbed my posterior and looked up. Areku was gone and I took the opportunity to get a quick drink and then something to eat. I ran up the stairs and made it to a drinking fountain. As I was drinking I noticed a white wolf on the ground. It was on top of a car and seemed to be looking for something.
I glanced around and saw that no one was around. I got on all fours and my human form disappeared. My long black hair had disappeared and my school uniform along with it. In place of it was a white wolf with a scar on each eye. Around my waist was a heavy black shackle which I obtained from men that had captured me.
I jumped down to the parking lot and landed on all fours. The white wolf glared at me and growled. He was covered in scars and dried blood. I bent down on my haunches and lowered my head. This showed that I meant no harm. It's growling stopped and I heard the wolf come closer to me.
"My name is Kiba. I thought I was the only wolf here." He said.
I stood back up and looked him over. I noticed that he had beautiful golden eyes that shone like the moon. I noticed that he was also examining me. He raised an eyebrow at the shackle that I wore and walked over to it. He bit it and tried to break it off. I turned my head to him and licked his ear. He merely looked up and released his grip.
He glimpsed around and asked, "Are there any other wolves here?"
I nodded and pointed my muzzle up to where Ira was. She was looking over the top of the roof and when she noticed that we saw her, she retreated. I slightly chuckled and walked back to the wall of the school. Kiba followed me and I stopped in front of him.
I sighed, "You can't come with me. I'll bring them here, ok?"
He looked at me with cold eyes and I shrugged. I was back in human form, fully clothed and hair still attached. I jumped up the wall and reentered the building. Ira met me and was jumping up and down with excitement.
"Is that guy your mate?" She asked curiously.
I shook my head and asked, "Are you crazy? Who would want a plain wolf like that?"
I suddenly felt a chill crawl up my spine and felt a rage of energy from behind me. I knew exactly who it was, but remained still. The clawed hand turned me around and made me face her.
"A-Areku?" Ira and I said in unison.
"You have got some explaining to do! Who is that white wolf!?"
Ira complained, "No fair! You used your time powers to see what Kerii was up to."
I was about to say something when a bunch of girls ran toward us screaming. I caught one as she was running.
I asked, "What are you running from!?"
She answered, "There's a rabid dog in the cafeteria!"
I glared and thought to myself, No one steals my food and gets away with it.
