(Originialy for danganronpa fan month fantasy week)
Once upon a time on the outskirts of a village there was a tiny cottage. The cottage belonged to a couple named makoto and kirigiri. Living with them was their adopted daughter Chiaki. /pp One day Chiaki had to go deliver a basket of goodies to her aunt komaru. "Are you sure you'll be okay" makoto asked. "Relax makoto she'll be fine" kirigiri reassured. "Okay but just to be safe " makoto said before pulling out a red hood and cloak "wear this". Chiaki tied the hood around her neck. "This hood will protect you from any beast you might encounter" makoto explained. "Thanks papa" Chiaki smiled before giving her step parents a hug. "Be safe" makoto yelled as Chiaki entered the forest. "She's growing up so fast" makoto started to tear up to which kirigiri patted his head.
Deep in the forest their lived a wolf named Hajime. He along with some other animals in the forest use to be human. All he did was run into a nasty witch with pink hair and than he was cursed to be a wolf. However he had one way to return to normal. If he received the blessing from a pure hearted enchantress he could become human again. The witch told him this along with a warning that the longer he remained a wolf the more his humanity would fade till he became a heartless beast.
Chiaki happily walked through the forest. Not too far away Hajime was looking for some lunch when he smelled Chiakis basket full of food. Peeking from behind a tree, Hajime spotted Chiaki and her basket of goodies. He wanted to eat so badly but he didn't want to scare her either. Just than hajimes stomach let out a loud grumble. Suddenly Chiaki and hajimes eyes met causing hajimes heart to beat swiftly. Chiaki gave a warm smile before taking something out from her basket and laying it on the ground. Soon after she left Hajime investigated. Turns out she dropped a ham sandwich which Hajime quickly gobbled up. As he ate he couldn't help but think back to the beautiful girl he saw. That's when he decided he would thank her somehow.
Hajime was not the only beast to smell Chiakis basket of goodies. Akane the notoriously gluttonous grizzly bear had picked up the scent. Just like Hajime, Akane was human until she stole some food from the pink haired witch. However, that was so long ago that akanes humanity was almost entirely gone. Slowly Akane followed the scent of goodies. All the while Hajime was picking flowers in the field to repay Chiakis kindness.
In order to get to aunt komarus house, Chiaki had to cross a bridge. Before she could, Akane roared and stood on her hind legs behind Chiaki. Chiaki stayed calm ,just like her step mom taught her, and started walking torwards Akane. Akane growled but found she couldn't move her body. Chiaki looked into akanes eyes causing Akane to lay down. Slowly Chiaki placed a gentle hand on the bears nose. "It's okay" Chiaki reassured "I won't hurt you". Suddenly Akane couldn't help but fall asleep. "You poor thing you must be hungry" Chiaki said getting a loaf of bread out from the basket "you just need to eat". After Chiaki placed the bread before a sleeping Akane, she continued deeper into the forest. Soon after they left akanes body transformed back into a human. This caught the attention of the pink haired witch who was spying on Chiaki for a while.
Once Hajime had picked the prettiest flowers he could find he followed Chiakis scent. Along the way he came across ibuki the fox. Ibuki had only been cursed for a month so her humanity was mostly intact. "Hellooo Hajime!" She chirped "what's with the flowers?". "They're for a girl I met" Hajime replied. "Ah really that's cute" ibuki said "but did you here what happened to Akane?". Hajime shook his head. "She turned back into a human" ibuki yelled in celebration. The news caused Hajime to almost drop his flowers as his whole body stiffened from surprise. "Are you sure?" Hajime asked to which ibuki quickly nodded. "Did anyone see how Akane turned back" Hajime asked. "Mahiru saw it" ibuki explained "a girl wearing a red cloak turned Akane back into a human". Hajime ran after Chiakis scent as soon as he heard red cloak. "Where are you going" ibuki asked. "If everyone else knows she might be in danger" Hajime replied as he raced through the forest.
Along the way to komarus house, Chiaki encountered many beast. Each time she met a beast, Chiaki offered a goodie from her basket and caused the beast to fall asleep. When she left, the sleeping beast would turn back into a human. Eventually Chiaki grew very tired as she yawned. She than decide to take a nap under a tree on the side of the road. Instantly Chiaki fell asleep underneath the tree.
After passing several transformed beast, Hajime found Chiaki. Hajime decided to keep Chiaki company, so he took a seat next to her and kept a look out. Suddenly Chiaki began to wake up. "Oh" Chiaki said in a soft voice "you're the wolf I saw earlier". Hajime worried what the girl would do next but to his surprise she only smiled. Quickly Hajime placed the flowers in Chiakis lap. "Thank you" Chiaki smiled "but I need to get to my aunts house before it gets dark. Chiaki quickly got up and ran towards komarus house. Before she left she waved goodbye to Hajime. Hajime was about to follow her when Junko appeared. "Well if it isn't Hajime" Junko joked "it's been a while". Hajime turned to face Junko. "I see you found your pure hearted enchantress. Good for you" Junko said "however I can't have you turning into a human just yet". Hajimes ears dropped as he realized what was coming next. "I need you to help me with a little something" Junko said "who am I kidding you don't have a choice". Hajime tried to runaway, only to be zapped with a magic spell.
