I wrote this story with Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark concept of a Werewolf's wolf instinct. Her books inspired this story.

I don't own Beyblade but I do own the female protagonist!

Enjoy! For Mature Teens in Future Chapters!

Chapter 1

Tala cupped the back of his neck and gripped it for the hundredth time that day. He had been feeling strange since he had woken up this morning. He tried figuring out what it was or even explaining it but there were no words for it.

He turned to look at Spencer who was staring at him. He raised his head at him as if urging him to speak up but Spencer shook his in return. Sipping his coffee, he looked out the window and watched one too many couples walking hand in hand. Girls held stuff animals, chocolates and even heart shaped balloons.

Looking around the coffee shop he was currently in, he noticed all the pink, white, and red decorations. He turned to Spencer. "Is it the day I think it is?"

Spencer nodded. "St. Valentines day"

The red head shuddered. He hated the very holiday for all its red and the fact the girls went crazy.

He gave his surroundings a full inspection and glared at any one who stared back at him. Sipping the last of his coffee, he got up but froze on the spot. Spencer turned around to look at what caught Tala's attention.

A young woman had stepped out of a cherry red convertible. Her hair was as red as an apple that pulled you in. Her dress was just a tad lighter than her hair and her skin was naturally tan. She waved and smiled at someone the men couldn't see.

Tala tossed some cash on the table and walked out of the cafe. Spencer was right behind him. Other men had gathered to watch her as well. It didn't surprise Spencer only the fact that Tala was one of the many.

They watched her hug none other than Hilary Tachibana and Tyson Kinomiya. They smiled at one another and laughed. She offered them a sweet from the paper bag she was carrying.

Walking towards the group, Tala called out. "Twerp?"

Said young woman slowly turned around and glared directly at Tala. "Call me that again and I'll stab you with my not so little high heels."

Hilary covered her mouth to hide her chuckle. Tyson on the other hand looked worried. "Akahana is kidding Ty."

Tala pinched her chin. "Haven't gotten chocolate on your day yet?"

"Har har!" Akahana smacked his hand away. "Shouldn't you be hiding in the corner of some locked closet in Russia?"

Spencer snorted to hide his chuckle. Hilary covered her mouth and Tyson looked confused. She explained it to Tyson and he laughed.

"Any way." Akahana dismissed Tala's presence as he had never interrupted her. "I hope that both of you can make it tomorrow. It'll be a wonderful gathering. You'll enjoy it."

Turning to the guys, Akahana gave them a forced smile. "I invited Hilary and Tyson to a gathering that will be hosted in Setsuna mansion. You are welcomed as well after all you are friends with Kai."

Spencer gave her a nod in response. Tala smirked at her forced invitation.

"Thanks for inviting us Akahana. We will certainly go. We'll tell Max and the others." Hilary hugged the red head.

"You're welcome." Akahana hugged the brunette back. "I just wanted to make sure to invite all of our friends."

Akahana curtsied. "I have to make some more rounds. Have a happy St. Valentines day everyone."

Tala wrapped an arm around her waist and pressed her back against his chest. Leaning down, he whispered in her ear. "You can definitely count me in twerp."

Raising her hands, Akahana turned around, grabbed his cheeks and pinched them. "And I'll be hoping that some crazy bimbo kidnaps you and chains you to a bed post so you'll miss the party."

Spencer tried to hide his chuckle again. With a wave to the group, Akahana walked off deeper into the town. They watched her suddenly stop.

There was a kid grinning with a rose in hand offering it up to her. She kneeled down and took it.

"Happy Valentines day!" He kissed her cheek.

"Thank you so much little one. You've grown since the last time I saw you." She took out a candy apple and handed it to him and kissed his cheek. "Happy St. Valentines day."

The little boy blushed and ran off with his treat in hand. Akahana got up and kept on walking.

Tala turned to Hilary. "Does that happen often on this day?"

"Oh yeah. All day today if she is in town." Hilary nodded. "Boys offer her candies and flowers. While teenagers give her stuff animals and ask her out on dates. The more grown up ask her for her hand in marriage with ring and roses in hand."

"Like that guy there?" Tyson asked as he pointed towards Akahana's direction.

They turned back and watched a guy kneeling in front of the red head. He had flowers and a ring. They watched Akahana back up a step. She shook her head at him as she spoke.

The guy got up and walked up to her. She backed up and yelped when he took a hold of her arm. Akahana pulled at her arm and yelled. "Let go of me! You're hurting me!"

He is touching what does not belong to him. Wolborg growled.

Seeing someone else touch Akahana made something snap in Tala. He growled and marched up to the younger red head. Just in time to stop her from assaulting the man. He grabbed her fist and lowered it before turning to face the piece of shit.

Akahana turned back to face him and yell but her voice froze in her throat when she caught the anger on his face. She gulped and remained quiet.

Tala grabbed the wrist of the man and twisted it until he let go of Akahana. He moved her behind him and glared at the scum in front of him. "Get near her again and I will make sure you never get to use this arm in your life. Understand?"

With a look of fear, the guy gave a shaky nod. Tala shoved him away and watched the guy scramble and run off.

Turning around, Tala watched Akahana take a step back from him. "Um...uh...thanks Ivanov but I had it under control."

"Really? I didn't think so." Tala took her arm and inspected it. He glared at the marks he found. "He pierced your skin."

Get her healed. Wolborg ordered.

"What?!" Akahana took her arm and inspected it herself. She cursed and turned to her pursed to take out a tissue. Tala beat her to the punch and covered her small injury with his handkerchief.

"Are you okay?" Hilary asked. She looked her over and sighed when she didn't find a bruise on her.

"Is your arm okay Akahana?" Tyson asked as he watched Tala fuss over it.

"Just small scratches nothing big." She removed the handkerchief and showed them. Tala glared at her and placed the cloth over her scratches. "Ivanov my intestines aren't going to burst from four small cuts. So stop fussing. You're weirding me out."

"I am taking you to a clinic. Where are your car keys?" Tala moved to dig in her purse before she could answer his question.

"Hey! What the hell do you think you a doing?" Akahana yelled as she tried to shove the red head from her personal belongings. She watched him take out her keys and toss them to Spencer.

"Take her car and go back to work. I will be there later." Tala pulled Akahana towards his car. She struggled and turned back to ask for help from her friends. Hilary just smiled and waved. "Stop wriggling and let's go."

"This is kidnapping Ivanov." Akahana whispered her complain and tried to plant her heels on the cement floor.

He wrapped an arm around her neck. "It isn't if you are whispering instead of yelling."

"You sure can be annoying when you want to be." She tried tripping him this time. "Can you cut the crap and let me go?"

"Of course not." Tala said as they got to his car. He shoved her in after she wouldn't go in on her own. Turning on the car, he glared at her. "Buckle yourself otherwise I will certainly have to take you to the hospital."

With a huff, she strapped herself and glared at him. "Step on it. The faster I get through this the sooner I can go."

Tala smirked. "We will see about that."

I hope you enjoyed this first chapter!

The second chapter will be posted later today!

Wolborg will be Tala's inner wolf instinct. I hope it didn't confuse you.
