Cerulean eyes stared sleepily from the shadows beneath the aged willow trees clustered around the large blue pond. They watched as 3 large dogs played in the near by field, chasing each other and wrestling, one dog was a chocolate brown colour, another larger one was a dirty blonde and the third and smallest had red/auburn fur. Roxas wondered where his siblings got their energy and decided not to delve into that mystery just as a honey blonde muzzle poked into his side, he growled tiredly at his other sister, she persisted in nudging his side,
-What do you want Namine? - She poked his side once more and lay down against her brother.
-Nothing really, me and larxene just thought we'd join you here-, at this point in time a larger mass of blonde appeared from the other side of the tree and looked at her two younger kin then promptly flopped down onto the ground with a 'fwump'.
-Those guys have too much energy, it makes me tired watching them- stated Larxene, hunkering down and spreading out, closing her eyes to take a nap. Namine rested he muzzle across the platinum blonde of Roxas's back and sighed,
-They're happy, leave them be Larx-
-Easily done Nams, along as they don't get it into their heads to come on over here to force us to play with them- huffed Larxene, the large dirty blonde wolf looked over at that moment, the three under the tree could sense he was smirking. Roxas rolled his eyes and turned his head and started to lick behind Namines' ears, she gave a hum of contentment and twitched her ears to the side a bit. After a while Roxas stopped, Namine giving him a slight growl of irritation; he nudged her head and turned his own, listening as Cloud shouted from the kitchen door,
"Oi guys, get over here Leon's almost finished making Lunch."
The three in the field all turn and ran in tandem, bolting for the house. Cloud raised his palms and the 3 halted in front of him, the three blondes making their way slowly around the pond from their shadowy haven,
"First everyone get changed, then get changed", six pairs of eyes stared at him as they waited for him to move,
"Okay?"
They all nodded and they made their way into the house, going to their respective rooms to change. Roxas had just gotten to his shared room when,
"Hey Roxas", he turned his head and looked at his twins back,
-What? -
"How come you didn't play with us today, you never seem to anymore."
-Was tired today-, Roxas began to change, it wasn't an unpleasant experience, but it felt really strange, like a big ball of energy in his chest was expanding and retracting, he quickly grabbed a pair of khaki shorts from his bed and pulled them up as his twin turned to look at him. Sora had a faint frown on his face. Roxas noticed this,
"Hey Sora, don't worry about it okay?"
He grabbed Sora around the neck and ruffled his hair, "I'm fine, just having a rough patch, no worries Kay lil bro?"
Sora struggled out of his brothers' grip and nodded, his usual happy smile in place. They headed down stairs and towards the mass of noise where there lunch was.
They'd finished their banquet of a lunch in record time. Roxas returned to his seat under the willow tree still in his human form and stared out over the expanse of dull blue water. Demyx sat down next to Roxas and started to tune his guitar, humming a song they both knew,
"Thought I'd join you Rox, you looked all lost 'n' lonely." He smiled toothily at his little brother and started to play the song he'd been humming.
"Back to school tomorrow, done all your home work?"
"Yeah" Roxas sighed, "weekend don't last long enough" he looked at Demyx,
"But you don't mind, just means you get to see Zexion after his family trip sooner."
Demyx blushed slightly, "Well you know it's kinda weird with out him around yanno."
"Yeah it does, with out him reading his books and scratching you between the ears and you gro…"
He was cut off as he dodged Demyxs' fist, the music started up again. They laughed together until a tall brunette called to them,
"Yo, Rox, Dem, I'm going into town for stuff, want to come with?"
"Yeah sure" replied Roxas, "What about the others?"
They had walked round to Leon by this point.
"Larxene is out with Marly, Sora and Kairi are sleeping and Nam is busy painting to snoring duo." Leon smiled, he loved his pack, no his family.
He and Cloud had met at a pack meeting, when the heads of each pack came to give and receive news and most importantly to make sure no was danger to any of the packs. Leon had been accompanying his father when he had seen the tired, silent and quiet attractive Blonde. Later after they had met properly and become better 'acquainted' had he learnt that Cloud was so tired because he was left to look after 6 cubs after his mate and wife Aireth had died in a car crash because of some stupid drunk divers hit her car, even though Cloud was doctor he couldn't save her. So cloud had been left with a 12 year old Larxene, 11 year old Demyx, the twins Roxas and Sora 10 years, 8 year old Kairi and a 7 years old Namine, so Cloud had returned home with this new male, the cubs had been wary of Leon at first but then caught on how happy he made their dad and quickly accepted him into the family, that had been 7 years ago. Now Cloud was a respected Doctor at the hospital and Leon worked as a handyman, being able to do joinery, blacksmith, carpentry, building etc.
Town was the same as usual, not quite bursting with people but not quiet. Roxas was riding shotgun with his head out the window, tongue lolling out, enjoying the wind blowing past his head. Leon chuckled at the sight, most people who knew the family thought that the wer forms were just rather large family 'guard dogs' and never gave them a second glance, but out of town-ers would stare at them, well they weren't exactly small in size, their height being level with most peoples mid stomach to chest area, the excuses was they were a mix breed of Irish wolf hounds and some other large breeds of dog. They drove into the supermarkets parking lot and Leona and Demyx climbed out the car. Leon put a collar around Roxas's neck before letting him out the car, he growled, surprising some near by people.
"C'mon Thirteen, you know you have to wear a collar and just try to act like a good do-, a well mannered canine."
They never called each other dogs unless they were trying to insult each other, and each had a wer form name, it would be too weird if the dogs had the same names as the people who owned them. So Roxas was tied up to the bike rests outside whilst Demyx and Leon went into to shop. Roxas tugged on the leash a bit then hunkered down onto the sidewalk to take a nap.
"Hello there cutie", Roxas felt long fingers tangling themselves in the fur behind his ears.
-Ohh god, that's feels soooo good- he let out a growl of content and lent into the fingers touch, he felt a and by his collar,
"Thirteen? Weird name for a dog", Roxas opened his eyes to see who was invading his nap time, cerulean blue met emerald green, the man had bright flaming hair, that was styled in gravity defying fashion, he had a slim face with, he was skinny…very skinny, quite tall and what Roxas couldn't take his eyes off were the upside-down tear tattoos under his eyes.
"Wow" said the man as he started to scratch the under side of Roxas's muzzle, his tail went crazy,
-No, no why are you doing that- thought Roxas angrily at his tail.
"Looks like you've made a new friend there Axel", a second teen had come up and was kneeling next to Axel and stared Roxas in the eye, he had green/blue eyes, silver hair and was slightly shorter than Axel but more toned, his arm muscles were huge.
"Well what can I say? I am irresistible," he laughed still scratching Roxas lightly. Roxas's nose twitched, as he smelt a familiar scent, Axel stood and greeted the new member to the group who looked down and bumped his fist to Roxas's nose who then barked loudly,
"Hi to you too Thirteen", Axel raised and eyebrow.
"You know this cutie Zexion?" he nodded at Axel, then
"ZEXY!!!" Demyx had glomped Zexion, and Leon appeared next to Roxas with leash in hand.
"Who're you're friends Zex?"
"This is my cousin Riku" he pointed to the silverette "and this is Axel" he then pointed to Axel, "They're here for school now, just got transferred through after getting kicked out their old school", as the introductions had been made Roxas had snuck over to Axel and started to nuzzle his hand, Axel knelt down and began to scratch his behind the ears again, Roxas growled happily, gaining questioning stares from his dad and brother.
"Alright, we gotta get home so I can get dinner ready",
Axel who was now full on hugging Roxas scratched his ear then stood up, "See ya Thirteen."
Leon tugged on his leash and they all said their goodbyes, which included Roxas kneading Axel and Zexion on the stomach and simply barking quietly at Riku, then they were off home.
After dinner the family were all gathered in the front room in an assortment of human and wer forms. Roxas, Namine, Kairi and Sora were a patchwork of fur on the floor all snoozing. Demyx, Larxene, Leon and Cloud were all on the couches watching the TV. Roxas sighed and dislodged himself from his kin on the floor and head butted Demyxs leg, he growled playfully.
"You wanting out Rox?"
He pulled on Demyxs jeans.
"Ok, ok lil bro lets go play, god why do you get all your energy when the rest of us are tired?'
Cloud chuckled and rested his head on Leon's shoulder and Larxene just snorted, the others continued sleeping.
Once outside with some toys, Roxas ran around the front yard to warm up and stretch. He enjoyed the feeling of running, especially in his wer form and being one of the fastest in the family it was a given. Once warmed up, he turned to Demyx just in time to see a Frisbee fly past his head, he gave chase, leapt, caught the yellow plastic object and loped back to Demyx, giving him back the Frisbee, his tail wagging all the while. When Demyx took the Frisbee back Roxas barked playfully and noticed Sora in his human form laughing at his antics,
"Roxas you are soooo weird" laughed Demyx. Roxas titled his head to the side and let his tongue loll out in a wolfish smile, Demyx threw the Frisbee again and the games continued. When they had moved onto tug of war about 40 minutes later Roxas herd the car tires on the dirt road and smelt the hot leather from a car, he let go of the rope and sent Demyx tumbling backwards. Roxas bounded towards to car and leapt up on Zexion once he's exited the car,
"Hey Thirteen, ok, ok good to see you too"
"Zexy you came over and brought your cousin and Axel too!" Demyx had joined them and dragged Roxas off of Zexion, Roxas rounded the car and leapt up on Axel,
"Hey there Thirteen, good to see you too, did ya miss me?" he scratched behind Roxas's ears, who whined happily leaning into the touch. The rest of the evening was spent with the group under the willow trees, Demyx leaning on Zexion, Riku and Axel listening intently to Sora as he described the school to them and Roxas was lying across Axels lap having his ears rubbed soothingly.
"So Sora, how many of there are you here?" asked Riku.
"Well theres me, Dem, Larx, Nams, Kai, Leon, Cloud and Roxas"
Axel whistled, "Wow 8 people in the family, well since getting here we've met like 7 of them, who's missing?"
Roxas lifted his head; he hadn't met Axel in his human form yet.
"Yeah, you haven't met Roxas, my twin yet, he's away at a friends today." Roxas sighed.
"I'll meet him tomorrow I guess then, oh yeah and like how many dogs do you guys have?" Axel tilted his head to the side.
"Eh" Sora hesitated and looked to Demyx, "I think we have like 7 or 8"
"You think?"
"Well they don't all stay here all the time, too many would eat us out of house and home" Sora and Demyx laughed, Roxas rolled his eyes.
"Guys we gotta go, my mom is waiting for us" Zexion intervened; he knew the whole situation with the families wer forms after accidentally seeing Demyx change. They all said their good byes and as the car drove back down the drive Roxas raced along side the car.
Roxas lay on his bed staring at the ceiling,
"Hey Sor, what time is it?"
"Its eh nine oh six, why?"
"Just wondering"
"Counting down the hours till you get to see Axel again?" Sora laughed, Roxas growled slightly.
"Just as much as you are till you get to drool over Riku some more." He stopped laughing.
"Well I guess we're both counting the hours then, you know that's the first time you've let a human touch you except Zexion?"
"So?!"
"So nothing I guess…. Night Rox"
"Night Sora."
Roxas rolled over to stare out the window, he looked at the moon, it was almost full, and he smirked and shut his eyes.
The rest of the chapters probs wont be this long, I just wanted to get all this down before I forgot it.
Hope you enjoyed. =]
