Midnight sky were clouded with mournful puffs of smoke, as the angels cried from above. Thunder rumbled across the darkened skies as a slight sliver of moon was still seen. From below this morbid seen, loud puddle splashes from pattering feet could be heard.

"Onee-sama, Onee-sama!" a young slender blue wolf suddenly appeared, running pantingly toward a her sister. "what's the matter?" the older wolf asked in a commanding voice, toward the aqua canine.

"it's-" the girl panted, in exhaustion. "- the Sakura family!"

this caught her attention as she quickly lower her head "Yes. What about them?"

Mock worry dripped with each word she spoke, as seriousness befell her eyes. Minutes passed until the young girl was able to speak.

Licking her dried lips she strained to continue" it's about Mikan," she puffed out "their only child" Golden eyes widened immediately hearing about the white wolf.

"what about her" she demanded, as some passing wolves stopped to see what all the commotion was about.

"shes missing" and with that said, chaos erupted.

Kisa pov.

No no no! this can't be happening!

"Kadi!" I shouted at my sister. "I'm going over to the Sakura's! Lead the pack to shelter!" I didn't wait for any signs of acknowledgement, before I speed my way toward the Sakura cave.

Skillfully I jumped over fallen trees and dashing across mud filled mines.

'this can't be happening' I repeated mentally spotting the broken dam. It was a horrible sight to see. This dam was our only source of clean water. How could our people live! The only one I could blame are those god forsaken humans. They were the one who had polluted the water with their metal machine, toxic waste, and more. Luckily they had finally repaid us by building a useful item in which kept all of the harmful waste from infiltrating our land and drinking system; but now everything was a mess. Trees have been rotted and droned from the water which was now filled to it's brim in running mud liquid. ' I have to find another way'

Turning toward my side I noticed an arch way, were two of the villages more prized, well now prized, wolves; were seen running.

Two, when there should be three.

Dammit

"Mate!" the female Sakura gasped "but she's merely 3 years old! She's not ready to have a mate!" she cried into the chest of her own mate. I did nothing more then nod in conformation. Only a minutes ago, I had told the family of the spectacular news. And for some odd reason they seem to be more somber, then I had expected.

Why, didn't they want what's best for the tribe?

The coffee colored wolf continued to leaned aginest her mate for comfort. "how" the father asked as I began to tell them the tell.

flashback

Two or three years ago a female wolf from the Hyuuga clan had come through our tribe. The Hyuugas were the most powerful and influential clan alive. Rich and glamorous this clan of wolves had manage to make a luxurious name in both the human and wolf world. These wolves were strong as a bull and as georgous as a the gods themselves, the royal family anyway. They were well known for their crimson orbs and lush coat. Many creatures have tried to maintain the good side of the tribe, yet, few had won them over, while others often failed.

Mean while

The traveling wolf had came to warn us about the great drought we were going to experience soon, where the only water we would be able to achieve were within the human lair. When all of a sudden, during our meeting Young Mikan had ran passed us while playing with others off springs her age.

Immediately the Hyuuga had manage to sense some sort of connection, then and there, and quickly ordered me to gather up the group of children. You see the traveler had come across the crowned prince many times in her past and she had captured some of his soul essence. Which, as we all know, forms a chain once it had found its soul-mate. And at that moment that the chain had tried many times to reach its other half, yet she was unsure of who it was, and wanting to make sure that it was the young girl and not the others. I nodded my head and ordered one of my guards to obtain the children and to bring them to us. Locking over all of the children she found that the chain linked to non other then silver wolf.

Their little girl.

their Mikan.

Enf of flashback

Surprised at the story the parents looked bewildered. Could their little Mikan really grow up to be …their queen?

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soft whimpering could be heard from the surrounding forest as a black wolf looked from tree to tree defensively. Paws out and ready to attack; the pup's back arced in pouncing position.

thunder crashed down from above as a high pitch cry was head.

Natsume pov.

Losing composure, I jumped back a little, this was my first in a one on one battle and I was caught off guard by the weirdest noise to ever befallen my ears.

Twitching my ears slightly I traced the noise back to a small bush at the corner of my eye. Feeling the strange need to search beyond I slowly walked by.

Glancing behind myself occasionally, I made sure that there wasn't more then one was here, and that no attackers were about to jump me. Looking over the bush I found the most stunning thing ever. There laying on the floor was a vulnerable little white, almost sliver, ball of fluff.

Thought of nuzzling randomly entered my mind as I quickly shook my head violently.

Never in my life had I felt this.

This.

Odd emotion.

"who are you" I demanded. As the strange thing with ears jumped up a little, chocolate brown eyes gazed at me frighteningly.

I felt a slight thump and tug within my chest as I analyzed the mystifying wolf. "w-who are you?" a soft yet melodic voice asked as I felt my insides melt.

More ideas of the little female and I popped up into my mind. 'What's! happening to me!?' I asked myself. This in all my 5 years of living I have never happen to me.

It was warm and gosh forbid... fuzzy.

I felt as if nothing could go wrong. Yet here I am still standing in the middle of a freak storm, with no where to go.

"I asked first" I replied hotly as a slight blush enveloped my check. Another round of thunder boomed as the defenseless white wolf had gotten up shockingly and ran under me.

"h-hay! What do you think your doing!?"

"Mikan"

huh?

"what" small paws clung onto me "my names M-Mikan" she said in a hush whisper. however I head her clearly.

Thunder scorched again as I heard her shout while at the same time little droplets fell onto my pitch black paw.

My heart strings tightened as I felt a strange erg to protect this little one. Shaking my head I quickly took a step back and grabbed the scared pup by the neck with my fangs, quickly I went on a search for any near by shelters.

10 minutes passed by until we finally found shelter.

It was a smaller cave then i was normally accommodated to, but it was large enough to fit us both quite nicely.

Quickly dropping the young pup I ran back outside to grab a couple of leaves, and ran back in only to find the little fluff ball in the corner shivering.

Giving a gruff laugh I watched as her head turned back and gave me the most hilarious look I have ever seen.

She was still shaking slightly as her eyes became glossed over and wavy as she gave me the look of abandonment.

I shook my head disbelievingly as I felt her body pounced onto mine. "don't leave me!" she cried as I blushed at the body to body contact.

I couldn't do anything but nod as she released me as we waked feather into the cave. Dropping the leaf I lied down on my stomach as she cuddled up to my stomach.

Gosh, you might as well slap a label on me and call me cherry.

"so your names Mikan? Right?" I asked as she nodded her head esthetically. As the thunder noises couldn't reach this far back. "but what's yours?" Mikan tilted her head slightly.

"Natusme Hyuuga" I replied proudly, awaiting the aw or praise that always appears after I state my name. I waited as none came.

Usually I would dread the praises that others would give me for being born a Hyuuga. But for some odd reason when I didn't receive any, I felt as if I actually wanted it. And from her non the less.

"well, aren't you amazed?" Mikan tilted her head toward he side, giving me a stupid, yet cute look " why?" This was a big punch to my ego. I stopped walking as so did she. "you mean you don't know who The Hyuuga's are?!"

"uhhh, people?" she replied.

You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding.

I've had fan girls from every sector of the region come just to worship me and beg me for marriage, although it should be the other way around, and this fool doesn't even know who rules the area in which she lives in!?

"well. I am a Hyuuga obviously and we are.." I was rudely cut off as I heard a lowly peasantry call out for the girl.

"Mikan!!!" her little sliver ears pecked up at her name as she stood. "I think that Hotaru!" she cried out

As she bolted passed me.

Hotaru? Who's that?

I felt a bit irritated at the name. was that one of her suitors? If so, they wont be one for long.

Darting out I followed the fast pup as I arrived only to see another female wolf.

The iteration dimmed slightly as I watched Mikan cuddle up to this Hotaru person. "there you are" the midnight violet girl sighed as her tail smacked Mikan in the face.

The pup's right cheek quickly turned a bright red.

"gurr"

The attention was absently turned toward me as I kicked my self mentally for showing such a barbaric act.

"oh this is my new friend Natsume" she grinned prancing back toward to me. Much to my strange relief, as if that smack didn't affect her. "Hyuuga?" the emotionless girl replied as she turned toward me.

Finally! I guess this area does know the major facts.

Her gaze on me was a bit discomforting, it was as if she was analyzing my over all being. "what" I growled still not liking her.

"250 gold" was all she said as a large question mark formed at the tip of my furry head . "what?" I asked again just in case I heard wrong. "300 gold" she repeated changing the price. "but you said 250 at first" I argued "but an extra 50 gold for repeating myself, you highness" she smirked with a mock bow . I felt as a thorn to my side has just bloomed.

"Hotaru! Don't ask him! He probably doesn't even have that much!" Mikan shouted, but I guess I can handle the prick for her. "shut up baka"

"mou Hotaru!" I wanted to laugh but this was a mental war between this weird freak and I.

"fine, and I'll even pay you 500 gold for every meeting that baka and I have" hay I couldn't deny that she was a bit …of a dunce.

"hay!" she shouted.

purple eyes shimmered at the thought of making two thousand five hundred gold a week. "deal" she smirked, thanking the idiot for attracting such a client. "good ill pay you next time, since I clearly don't have the money now" she nodded "fine but there's another 50 gold fee for the extended day" I agreed knowing that I would be able to see Mikan as long as I kept feeding the money hungry pig.

"hay!" Mikan shout was finally heard "don't I get a say in this" she pouted cutely as a pink colored stain enveloped my cheeks. "no, now come on baka everyone's worried."

She continued to pout "fine" the two began to walk off.

Hotaru turned her head. "here tomorrow 8 o'clock sharp Hyuuga." she said before walked off once more.

'Perfect.' I thought as I raced back home before the servants are sent to fetch me once again.

I don't know why. But something tells me that she's of some importence to me.. but what could that be?
