I've decided to start on the sequel to my Secrets of the Wolf story. I've also thought about making this a trilogy fanfic but I haven't decided if the third one will take place after the second or before the first. Anyway, enjoy!
"I know you can do better than that Shu." a sixteen-year-old girl said. She had long blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, silver colored eyes, a blue short sleeve shirt with a baby blue skirt and white shoes. Her shadow, Pegasus, floated next to her and her opponent gritted his teeth. Shu was wearing a red short sleeve shirt with gray shorts and red and white shoes. His shadow, Blue Dragon, floated next to him and growled.
"Come on Shu! Four years of training and we still can't take them down!" Blue Dragon growled and Shu glared at him.
"Well it's not like Kristina was just sitting back relaxing all this time while we were training." Shu said and Blue Dragon stopped growling.
"Are you two just gonna chat all day? I do have to be somewhere in fifteen minutes." Kristina said tapping her foot and Pegasus snorted.
"Let's go Blue Dragon! Crushing Nail!" Shu shouted and Blue Dragon shot forward with his attack and Pegasus grabbed both his wrists.
"Now what?" Pegasus asked and Blue Dragon smirked.
"Now THIS! Fire Crisis!" Shu shouted and Blue Dragon shot a powerful stream of blue flames at Pegasus. The attack hit him and Pegasus hit the ground. Their shadows disappeared and Kristina smiled.
"Not bad Shu." Kristina said and she turned towards a young devee standing at the arena entrance. "Once the obstacle course is set then you can start Marumaro."
"Right maro." Marumaro said and Shu and Kristina exited the arena. Then they saw Jiro talking to Kluke and Bouquet next to a fruit stand. Jiro had on a dark blue short sleeve shirt with forest green shorts and blue shoes. Kluke had on a light pink short sleeve shirt with a white skirt and red shoes. Bouquet had on a yellow short sleeve shirt with blue skirt and light blue and white shoes.
"Hey guys!" Shu shouted waving and they turned their attention to him. "What's up?"
"Nothing much just shopping." Kluke said and Bouquet hugged Shu tightly.
"My beloved is with me once again!" Bouquet said and everyone sweatdropped.
"Where's Marumaro?" Jiro asked and Kristina pointed to the arena.
"He should be using the new obstacle course with Saber Tiger right now." Kristina said and Sam walked over to them. He was wearing a light red short sleeve shirt with blue jean shorts and red and blue shoes.
"There you guys are." Sam said and they looked at him.
"What's wrong Sam?" Bouquet asked and Sam smiled.
"Nothing's wrong. In fact, it's good news." Shu was grinning widely.
"Then spill it already!" Shu shouted and Marumaro walked over.
"What's going on maro?" Marumaro asked.
"I just received word that Rikaru and Zola are on their way here." Sam said and everyone smiled.
"Today?" Kristina asked excited and Sam nodded.
"They should be arriving any minute now." Sam said and Kristina shifted to her wolf form before racing towards the gate.
"Hey wait for us!" Kluke shouted as they ran after her.
"Too excited to!" Kristina shouted looking back at Kluke. She wasn't paying attention to where she was going and ran into someone. She sat on her haunches and shook her head. "Sorry about that."
"No need to apologize. I can understand your excitement." a voice said. Kristina looked up and saw Rikaru looking back down at her with a smile. He was wearing a sleeveless black leather vest with beige cargo shorts and red shoes. Zola, who was standing next to him, was wearing a violet midriff baring short sleeve shirt with blue jean shorts and black shoes. Her sword was tied around her waist and she still had her infamous bandana on her head.
"Whoa." a voice said and they saw Shu and the others walking over to them.
"You two look different." Jiro said.
"I could say the same for you." Zola said smiling and Kristina shifted to human form. She hugged Rikaru and Zola with the others and they followed Kristina to the palace.
In the palace...
"So, how are you guys?" Rikaru asked. They were all sitting down at the large dining room table.
"We're good and we've been training our asses off." Shu said. "Which reminds me, you owe me a fight Zola!"
"Calm down Shu. They just got here if you haven't noticed." Jiro said and Shu pouted.
"Anyway, what happened on your trip bro?" Kristina asked. Rikaru noticed that she was grinning very suggestively and he sweatdropped.
"What's with that look?" Rikaru asked and Kristina only grinned wider. "Are you serious? You've been hanging out with Rye too much."
"That may be true but I can sense and smell something." Kristina said and Rikaru blushed deeply. "That's all I needed to know."
"What're you talking about?" Bouquet asked and Kristina made a fake evil laugh.
"Oh nothing dear Bouquet." Kristina said giggling and Zola chuckled.
"I know what you're talking about Kristina." Zola said and Kristina stared at her smirk.
"Really? He told you?" Kristina asked.
"Why wouldn't I?" Rikaru said and Zola stood up. She walked over to Kristina and whispered something in her ear.
"What is she saying?" Kluke asked and Jiro shrugged.
"HOLY CRAP!" Kristina shouted with wide eyes and she fell out of her chair. Zola moved back a little and Kristina slowly stood up. "I've underestimated you Zola."
"You told her?" Rikaru asked blushing.
"No, but I did imply it." Zola said.
"Can we please change to a subject that we understand?" Shu asked and Zola sat back down.
"So what's been going on during your trip?" Bouquet asked.
"Since we defeated Takeshi nothing much has happened in the world. We occasionally fought some lone vampires and rouge werewolves here and there but not much has happened." Rikaru answered shrugging.
"We investigated some ruins in the Northern Forest having to do with the origins of werewolves and vampires. We didn't get many leads but we still plan to investigate." Zola said.
"That's awesome!" Shu shouted.
"So how long are you guys staying?" Jiro asked.
"Maybe for a couple of days then we're heading back out." Zola said and Rikaru nodded.
"Hey bro, you two can stay in the palace with us." Kristina said and she snapped her fingers. Two guards walked in and kneeled before her.
"What is it that you command your majesty?" one guard asked.
"Prepare a room for Zola and Rikaru." Kristina said and the guards nodded before leaving. Rikaru raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"I see you've gotten accustomed to living the life of a queen." Rikaru said and Kristina nodded.
"It's the most awesome thing ever." Kristina said smiling and Rikaru stood up. "Well I'm on my way to see Sam."
"I'll go with you!" Shu shouted and followed Rikaru out.
"Geez, wait for me!" Kluke shouted and ran after them. The a guard walked in.
"Your majesty, you have a meeting you need to go to." the guard said and Kristina sighed.
"Fine." Kristina said and she followed the guard out.
"I assume none of you have anything to do so let's take a walk and tell me more of what you guys have been up to." Zola said and the others followed her out.
Elsewhere...
"How dare they." a woman said in an alleyway in Jibral City. "How dare those fools get rid of the Kai-sama. They shall pay dearly."
"I see you feel the same way that we do." a voice said and the woman turned around to see a vampire and two humans standing there staring at her with Krimson Knight armor on.
"W-Who are you?" the woman asked.
"Don't be alarmed human. I can sense your great loyalty and dedication to destroying the very people who are responsible for Kai-sama's death. We're here to help you carry out the revenge...Kai-sama's human apprentice." the vampire said and the woman smiled.
"Yes! Thank you so much! We'll destroy every last one of them!" the woman said, happy that she now had allies.
"We know the two werewolves responsible." the human on the left said and he handed the woman a picture of Rikaru and Zola in wolf form.
"They disguise themselves as humans too." the human on the right said and he handed the woman a picture of Rikaru and Zola in their human forms. She glared at both pictures with hatred.
"Good. Let's get to work." the woman said and they disappeared.
