A large shadow can be made out on the 5-story rooftop; the shadow turns its head, showing a profile of a wolf's head. Sniffing the air the large beast with red hair looks around the city.

"I liked it better when they humans where not around here...."

'You really should just choose a mate and get some" The beast stands to its full 14 ft height look over a smaller fair haired werewolf behind him.

"Teenager..."

"Old bastard..." The large beast laughs then freezes, sniffing the air again. "You know your dad would kill me for helping you do this?"

"That is why I only trust you Erin." Erin glances over at the other werewolf.

"Aye I know, now come on Haruka, your prey is 5 blocks down that way" Erin points to the west, before leaping off the roof top to roof top, Haruka follows Erin closely.

A small, aqua haired woman looks at the dark street from the alleyway.

"I really hate having to feed on humans..." A taller woman with dark green hair walks up from the shadows behind her.

'I know you do Michiru, but we need life fluids, the only other prey we can feed off of is another humanoid form."

"Yes werewolves, but we have been fighting for as long as any of us can remember."

"Indeed, do you think if the war stops we could help each other?" Erin silently drops behind the too at the back of the alley, Haruka lands almost hitting a trashcan. But Erin reaches out, grabbing Haruka by the gruff of his neck and sets Haruka down

"They offer us food and protection, we give them medical help and trade."

'Yes but, how would you even go about that? The king is a hard head mule and the prince.... Has Erin as a personal bodyguard."

"What is so bad about Erin?"

"Erin is the oldest werewolf alive, he stand 14ft, he has never lost a battle, he kills without any remorse, is crude and uncultured." Erin walks out of the shadows to about 3 feet from them.

"Now lass that is not very nice..." Setsuna whips around eyes wide. She draws her saber and stabs Erin in the stomach the blade going through the werewolf. Erin looks down at Setsuna then back at Haruka still in the shadows. "Come on Haruka love, you were the one that wanted to see her." Wanted to see her? What is this werewolf up to Haruka swallows and slowly walks out of the shadows towards Michiru tenses up and backs away. A werewolf? He is beautiful, but ... "Hey humanoid form you bloody fool" Erin snorts then looks down at the stunned Setsuna. Haruka slowly shrinks from her 12 ft high to her 5'10 human form, the fair blond fur retracting. Set of beautiful blue eyes appear with a messy mop of dirty blond hair on her head. Michiru's eyes widen as Haruka slowly returns to human form. He is a she? And she is...gorgeous.

"Your.... your a woman?" Erin takes an undershirt from the back of his pants tossing it to Haruka. Haruka quickly pulls the undershirt over her head. Walking slowly closer to the young vampire, hand raises, palms out at chest level.

'Yes.... Lady Michiru...." Erin arches an eyebrow, when the scent of hormones floats into his nose. Erin sniffs for a few moments, then grins Ah so it is from both of them

"Sorry lass...." Erin grabs Setsuna by the shoulder and pulls her from his abs, gently setting Setsuna down. Why did he not break me in half? Erin rolls his neck, cracking a few joints popping before turning human herself. Erin runs a bloodstained hand through her short red hair. Erin's glowing eyes turn to her normal dark green, She topless as well but does not bother to cover herself.

"You are both girls??!?" Haruka looks pleadingly, Erin sighs, Come on Haruka grow some blacks, and she reaches out and shoves Haruka into Michiru. Haruka stumbles, knocking Michiru to the ground. Haruka landing on top of her, Haruka holding her body weight off Michiru so not to squish the woman. Setsuna's eyes narrow and she charges at Erin again. Erin grabs her by the throat holding her in the air.

'Easy old maid, close your eyes and listen to their hearts and you will hear what I smell." Setsuna struggles, pulling at Erin's hand but stops. I am not choking...Setsuna looks around to see she is on the ground again, when did she put me down...she glances at Erin then closes her eyes. I guess I should humor her Setsuna raises an eyebrow as she listens to Michiru's heartbeat.... I have never heard it beat that fast.... She then turns her attention to Haruka.... hmm the same thing.... that would mean.... Setsuna's eyes shoot open looking at Erin. They like each other, I can't believe it, wait how did that beast know? Erin grumbles under her breath, looking at the wound on her stomach. As it heals slowly, the wound seals but leaves a scar.

With their lips barely apart, neither of them wanting to move, or known how long they have been like that. Haruka closes her eyes Well Erin always said you couldn't fail unless you never try... Haruka lets out the breath she did not know she was holding, and presses her lips to Michiru. Setsuna stands in shock then she turns angry and charges towards them only to be grabbed by Erin.

"Let go you ugly mutt, I will not let her deflower our future queen." Erin just stares at her, eyes completely blank. What? She is not mad? Not trying to kill me? I mean even the hold on my arm is not that tight? Haruka's heart beats impossibly fast Haruka feels like she is going to pass out.

She is kissing me, this beautiful woman is kissing me, her lips feel so warm Michiru is frozen lost in her own thoughts. Oh god she is going to kill me Haruka panics, she starts to pull away. Oh no, Michiru kiss her back before she runs away Michiru wraps her arms around Haruka's neck and returns the kiss. She is beautiful, I don't care she is werewolf; her kiss taste so sweet, I know Setsuna is going to be mad.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Setsuna continues to watch Erin's expression, there is something, that just... I don't know... Erin lets go of Setsuna's arm and starts to growl. Erin shakes her head slowly grows to 14 foot her red hair covering her body, claws extending.

'Haruka..." Haruka pulls away to look at Erin. "Protect your love I will meet up with you again.... Your father has sent the guards for you" With that Erin is off up on the roof running off. Setsuna stares there stunted She just, left Haruka...Erin is not worried.... Setsuna looks over at the two young women, as Haruka helps Michiru up. Setsuna smiles at the soft look in Michiru's eyes when she is looking at Haruka. It seems I have forgotten the human element of both our bloods. Setsuna looks back at the building tops where Erin disappeared. Haruka turns pale, as there is a loud howl; Michiru frowns and holds Haruka tight.

'Erin...." Setsuna walks over to the young women.

'Haruka what is it?" Michiru asks rubbing Haruka's arm.

'Erin helped me get out of the castle, to find you.... she directly disobeyed his orders." Setsuna gives Haruka this astonished look.

"Wait Erin, Your bodyguard? Disobeyed your king?"

"Yes, Erin has never agreed with my dad. Love is most important thing to her."

"...Well lets not let her work go to waste, come on I know a close by shelter." Michiru's eyes light up.

"You mean...." Setsuna smiles at the smaller woman.

"Yes Michiru, I have never seen you look at anyone like you do Haruka." Michiru smiles hugging Haruka tight. "Come on now, you little love birds" Setsuna moves the two along, stopping to look over her shoulder for a moment. Erin.... who are you really...

Setsuna quietly moves about in the shadows the two teenagers close behind, Setsuna looks up at the on coming dawn. Looks like we will get there just in time. Setsuna stops at an old abandoned warehouse, she puts her hand on the door and pauses. I hear heart beats...about 6 of them... Setsuna looks over at Haruka.

"Haruka can you do me a favor?"

"Yes of course anything'

"There are some people in there about 6 of them can you go in and find out who they are for me?" Haruka nods, closes her eyes as her body morphs, she shrinks, stand on her hands and knees. Blond fur covers her body, as she finishes turning into a golden retriever. Setsuna holds the door open and Haruka trots in quietly.

'Setsuna how did you know Haruka could do that?" Setsuna looks through the window watching Haruka.

"Werewolf have a variety of powers just like us, they heal quickly, and they can morph to dog or their true form. There are rumored to be a few whose roar can clear a forest, though I have never seen it."

'Oh..." Michiru chews on her bottom lip. "You think Haruka will be ok?"

"If her bodyguard trust her with us, I am sure she can hold her own."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Haruka walks to the group quietly, and then lets out a small whimper when she is close enough. The group turns around; Haruka raises an eyebrow, noticing they all are dressed in black, with black hair, black eyeliner, and long black coats. What did Erin call these people...Goths?? Yeah that is right they are not life stylers unless they have fake fangs.... but how to check their teeth. One of them stands and walks over to Haruka, scratching between the ears.

"It seems that our mother goddess of the night has brought us a guardian for when we slumber." Haruka snorts, mentally shaking her head. Life stylers, figures... Haruka follows the one who rose and lies next to them. Haruka tries not to laughs as she watches them, read their tomes and drink cows blood. Haruka slowly crawls backwards till she is in the shadows before trotting back over to Setsuna, and out the door before loosing it laughing hysterically loosing her dog form to human form. Setsuna raises an eyebrow looking down at the laughing woman.

'Haruka...." Haruka bites her lower lip trying to stop laughing. After a few deep breathes she stops and then stands.

"Sorry Lady Setsuna, I have heard Erin talk about them before. But I have never seen them Erin is right, they are funny." Setsuna looks at Haruka oddly. "They are life stylers Lady Setsuna." Setsuna smiles softly and nods.

'Ok then we will not have to chase them out, come on," Setsuna pushes the door open Michiru and Haruka behind her walking into the building the group looking up at them.

'This our clan no outsiders" Setsuna smiles, Yeah they are funny now that I think about it

"We are traveling back to our kingdom we only need spend the day light here." The people look amount themselves, before talking together. One of them looks back at Setsuna.

'You are allowed but you must play your respects."

"Our respect?" Ok they are starting to get annoying now

"Yes your respect, we require a quart of fresh blood." Setsuna looks at Michiru and Haruka and sighs heavily pinching her the bridge of her nose.

'Haruka I have had enough of this could you clear them out please?"

"Yes of course." The group just smirks, not seeing Haruka changing behind Michiru.

"It is our Sanctuary are you daring to declare war of us our homeland?" Haruka steps out of the shadows next to Setsuna.

"Not exactly..." The group pales and looks to the leader.

"There is no way that is real!" Haruka smirks and walks towards the leader the other backing away.

"I feel pretty real...I already ate for the night." Haruka looks the thin boy up and down. "I think I could fit in a night time snack" Haruka looms over the boy breathing in his face. The boy stands there for a moment frozen before he turns and runs.

"It is really there is no way to fake that breath..." Setsuna and Michiru chuckle as they group disappears.

"Very nice, maybe I should keep you around to deal with those stuck up vampires that are trying to wed me." Haruka chuckles as she walks about collecting blankets and pillows.

"You need a coffin and do you carry a bag of your home dirt on you?" Setsuna looks at Haruka surprised.

"How do you know about our home dirt being needed to heal?" Haruka finishes laying out a pillow and blanket for herself.

"Huh? Oh Erin taught me, she always tells me physical strength only gets your scarred, injured and tired. Using knowledge saves you of that or makes you able to continue." Setsuna smiles softly.

"The Erin you speak of sounds nothing like I have heard of" Setsuna quirks an eyebrow as Haruka takes some scrap wood and forms it into a make shift coffin. Using her claws as nails, to hold them together. She then sets them down for Michiru and Setsuna. "Didn't that hurt?" Haruka looks up as she curls up on the floor between the two coffins.

"No, our claws are like shark's teeth if we break one another grows in, Erin spend a month with me in the woods showing me how to do a lot of things including building things with just my hands." Setsuna chuckles, setting her bag of her your home soil under the pillow before lying down.

`"Well I hope to be able to speak with Erin in length then next time we meet." Haruka chuckles, kissing Michiru on the forehead as they all lay down for a good days rest.

"Yes she talks about you all the time." Setsuna yawns as she lies down

'She does " Setsuna yawns again "Wonder why she does..." Setsuna falls asleep as Haruka closes her make shift coffin.
