A friend of mine - who is in love with Tsubasa, but then again, who isn't - asked me to write a Tsubasa-centric story which involved him being forced to live with wolves.

Since it sounded so wonderful, I agreed to it, and here is the result of the first chapter. To be honest, I feel really excited to get this show on the road.

This is one story that will probably last throughout this whole year, making it possibly 50 chapters. Oh, and to my other friend, Kayley, don't worry, I'm working on that Toby-centric story as well.

Disclaimer: If I owned MFB, there would be several characters I'd remove and then several characters I'd give a larger role too. I'd also change the English Dub VA's for Gingka and Hyoma (as well as Yu), since they sucked.

I won't be updating tomorrow -well, possibly - because I have to help my family clean our house. It's very messy and we're getting our closet's carpet replaced.

Enjoy~

"Huh, more rain." Tsubasa Otori mumbled as he held out his hand to catch a droplet of water. It splashed onto his hand, slightly wetting his palm.

The silver-haired boy looked down at the sidewalk, only to see the grey concrete rapidly turning darker due to the rain falling from the clouds. Knowing this town's weather, it was going to downpour within a few seconds.

Tsubasa quickened his pace and rushed down the sidewalk, waving to those he knew. Most people were getting out their umbrellas or pulling up their hoods to protect themselves from the drenching rain.

Sadly, Tsubasa had been so quick in exiting his house, he'd forgotten his jacket and hadn't heard his mother's calls for him to come back and get his coat or an umbrella.

He was now regretting this when the rain started coming down in sheets, almost blinding those caught in it.

Luckily, Tsubasa was nearing the forest, his favorite short cut. The trees shielded him from the cold rain for the most part, and his shoes wouldn't be covered in mud when he got home.

All of the sudden, a loud howl echoed throughout the forest.

Tsubasa halted his steps in fear.

A wolf, in broad daylight?

Well, it wasn't broad daylight per say. Though the sun was still up (you could barely tell due to all of the rain), Tsubasa had left his house at about 5 PM and at least an hour had passed, so it was technically evening.

Quickly, Tsubasa began to climb a tree, which was harder than usual due to slick bark thanks to the rain. He dug his fingernails into the soft wood, trying to get a grip, when all of a sudden, he heard a ferocious growl come from behind him.

Frightened, the silver-haired youth turned his head in order to face his enemy, but to his surprise, it wasn't what he'd been expecting.

Despite the snarling face, it was a human being, or at least, it looked like one.

He had white hair with a shot of red on the left side of his face, eyes widened and slightly crazed looking. He had tanned skin, similar in shade to Tsubasa's own, and wore torn brown clothes.

"Who are you?" Tsubasa asked, trying to conceal the fear in his voice.

He obviously had failed, because the man in front of him laughed.

"And why should I give you my name?" He taunted, enjoying the way Tsubasa clutched onto the tree in fear.

The silver-haired boy scowled, "No reason to be so difficult." Sighing, he let go of the tree trunk and dropped to the ground.

"So, are you some sort of werewolf?" Tsubasa asked curiously, not as afraid as he had been earlier; though his guard remained up.

The other rolled his eyes. "No you idiot."

The silver-haired blader bristled at being called an 'idiot' for no reason, but tried to keep his emotions in check. If he didn't, his enemy - or the guy in front of him - would take advantage of it.

All of a sudden, Tsubasa felt teeth clamp down on his neck. He cried out weekly, but he feel into unconsciousness before he could accomplish anything else.

His now limp body hit the cold, wet dirt momentarily before arms picked him up and carried him away, deeper into the bowels of the forest.

"Nngh..." Tsubasa moaned as his consciousness returned to him. Luckily, the place where he'd awakened was not brightly lit.

But where was he?

He felt around him, expecting to feel a soft bed comforter or perhaps the edge of his nightstand. But the only thing he touched was some sort of rough blanket. It was coarse, and it felt old and overused.

Sitting up in alarm, Tsubasa quickly scanned the room for other clues as to where he was. The walls were made of wood, so it could've been a cabin. But his thoughts soon changed when he saw an all dirt floor.

All of a sudden, loud yelling came from the outside, and it was growing closer. Instinctively, Tsubasa scooted away, closer towards the wall and away from the door.

It swung open, revealing the same person he'd met before passing out. Or had he been knocked out? If so, this was the one who'd done it.

"So, you're awake." The mysterious person spoke, bending down as if to examine the other more closely.

Tsubasa shrunk back, trying to get away from the face that he felt was invading his personal space. The two-tone haired man laughed before pulling away, sending waves of relief through the silver-haired youth.

"I was just sniffing you." The wolf being said nonchalantly, like it was a common thing. "Oh, and I'm Ryuga, since you seem so concerned about knowing my name."

But before Tsubasa could ask why he was here, and where he was, Ryuga laughed and left, slamming the door shut. Much to Tsubasa's dismay, he heard the familiar sound of a lock being put into place.

"Hey." A soft voice whispered from another corner.

Slightly alarmed, Tsubasa turned his head towards the voice and saw a boy around his age sitting there. He had red hair, some of which had blonde at the ends, and sharp blue eyes.

"Wondering why you're here?" The boy continued quietly, though he made no move to sit closer.

Tsubasa nodded his head, eager to know.

The other youth sighed. "Me too. Sorry to let you down."

Tsubasa shook his head and smiled slightly, "No, it's alright."

All of a sudden, the yelling from outside resumed. Finding that he could stand up, Tsubasa made his way over to the single window that was the room's only light source and peered through the transparent glass.

The other boy from earlier peaked as well, and beckoned another boy with silver hair and blue eyes to his side to come see as well.

Apparently, the 'wolf people' were having some sort of a meeting. And now that they were all together, Tsubasa noted that this 'clan' of theirs wasn't very large.

In fact, it had about 15 people at the most.

But the window allowed no understandable noise to reach the trio's ears, so they eventually gave up and sat back down.

"I'm Zeo." The redhead announced, smiling and giving a little nod of his head.

The silver haired one coughed a little before speaking up and smiling as well. "I'm Toby."

Tsubasa smiled at the friendly greetings, pleased that his hopefully short stay here wouldn't be a living nightmare. At least, all of the time.

"Tsubasa." He introduced himself, shaking hands with the other two.

The three soon began chatting, both about their previous lives and the current situation. As Tsubasa had guessed, they'd taken the forest short cut as well and had met with Ryuga.

Soon, Toby fell asleep, followed by Zeo. But Tsubasa couldn't find it in him to fall asleep; he was too antsy, too nervous. He couldn't stop shivering, every time a wolf howled.

Standing up, he walked over to the window once more, just to see what was going on outside. To his utter surprise, medieval like torches were being lit, and the ground was tinted orange due to all of the flame.

The rain had obviously stopped then, which meant escape might be possible, now that anyone outside could actually see.

Pressing his face closer to the glass, Tsubasa's golden eyes scanned the area. There were mostly male wolves, but he could see one female, though she looked quite sickly and pale.

All of a sudden, the door opened again. As usual, it was Ryuga.

"I never got to ask you why I'm here." Tsubasa said quietly, narrowing his eyes.

Ryuga crossed his arms, "I'm not here to answer your questions." He stepped closer, smirking when Tsubasa took a step back. "I'm here to ask you questions."

Before Tsubasa could say 'but I don't know anything', Ryuga was already ahead of him and explained.

"Awhile ago, the son of the wolf king and queen disappeared. He was said to have silver hair and bright, yellow eyes like a wolf's." Ryuga began, ignoring the skeptical expression on Tsubasa's face.

"The whole clan searched and searched, but we could not find him. The king and queen were so distraught, they died of heartbreak, and this led the clan to rebellion, destruction, you name it."

Tsubasa's eyes widened before narrowing once more. "So you think just because I have silver-hair and golden eyes, I'm that prince?"

Ryuga shook his head, "No. His name was Tsubasa."

Golden eyes widened. He'd not said his name to Ryuga yet, but he already knew it. Though this didn't mean he was telling the truth, it did bump up the chance of it.

But before any more questions could be asked, Ryuga pointed towards the doorway. "Go out there and announce your royalty."

Tsubasa starred at Ryuga for a couple moments before doing as asked, though it was more like a command in his mind. Giving Zeo and Toby one last glance, he stepped outside into the warm air.
