Another story for StarkxRukia fans!!!

I Don't Own Bleach.

Stark looked at the moon and sighed. It would be a full moon tonight and he would hate it. Ever since he was a young boy he dreamed of living in the wild and nature. But because he was not a full wolf, he was despised by other wolfs who would see themselves as of more importance and nobility. On the other hand, he could not live with human for the reason that they would shed him to pieces for a monster he was. Humans are always like that, if something is not normal and is out of their standards, they cease its existence. They call it deviance.

Looking up at the sky and wishing that his life would have more meaning than being a lone wolf, he waited for the full moon. He lived in a small run down house near woods at Karakura Town. He would work when he felt like and sleep when he felt tired which most of the time a fact. He was a lazy and lone wolf. A tiredly, lone wolf had the greatest gift that many wanted to have. Stark had freedom, but he had no one to share it with. His freedom in the woods, jungles, nature, all brought him to this day and made him realize that he is alive, despite being the lone wolf he is.

He sat on a tree, far above the ground and listened to the quiet breeze and soft ruffling of the leaves. He was enjoying the silent night when he heard a woman's scream. He looked down and saw a woman running in the woods with six men chasing after her. Molesters, I suppose? Stark looked up the moon and saw that it was going be full moon very soon. And he had to get out of here before he loses his sanity.

He heard her scream again.

But Stark knew better not to get involved in this, not tonight.

Rukia ran as fast as she could with her petites legs. She had gone off to her friend's house but the girl talk took too long that none of them noticed. Scared that her nii-sama would be angry, Rukia decided to take short cut to her home but only to be caught up by these molesters. Now being chased by these men in the dark and lonely night she didn't know where she was going, but human instincts commanded her to endeavor for safety. To strive for salvation.

Rukia looked behind and saw the men catching up to her. She ducked in an opening between the woods but was suddenly stopped by a man, who appeared out of nowhere, before her.

"Running so fast, sweet heart." He hissed. "Let's rest a bit and then you can let us play around with you." As the other men approached, Rukia prayed for her safety, for a miracle that would secure her from these vicious men.

One of them reached forward and grabbed the front of her dress and pulled her towards him. He sniffed her neck and laughed in victory of capturing a vulnerable lamb. But before he could say or carry out one of his maneuvers, he was pulled up by a wild force right front of everyone's eyes. The men looked up and found no one. With fears in their eyes, they took out their guns and took stances in a circle to fight whatever vigor took their friend. They looked around and watched out for the night vehemence, then, something fell on the ground causing all the men to scream in panic.

It was a disfigured body.

The body of their friend.

The body was wretched. The face destroyed and the rest of the body encompassed bite marks everywhere. If it wasn't for the clothes he was wearing, the men would not have been able to tell who this person was. At the sight front of them, and their friend's mutilation, the men started to run off to the direction where they came from; whereas, Rukia buried herself under the tree and covered her ears with her hand, not wanting to hear the screams of the men as they were attacked by the night raider.

Soon all screams, shooting from the guns, and the noise of running died and the silent night took hold of the woods once again. Rukia sat there, her head buried in her knees; she shivered as the creature came closer to her. She felt it sat front of her, not touching her, but sniffing her. The creature first sniffed her hair, it took a long inhale of the scent that made him fanatical. Then the creature slowly moved down to Rukia's neck, never stopping the inhalation of the scent given off by the woman.

Rukia could hear the creature's breathing. She could feel his breath on her neck as he intoxicated himself with her scent. Now, Rukia was scared, utterly sanctified. The creature then licked her neck which caused Rukia's autonomic nervous system to send electrical impulses down to her spine, reasoning her whole body to shiver. The creature moved more closely that Rukia's bare legs now could feel the warmth of its fur.

Then she heard a moan, an agonizingly moan that sounded as of a wolf's howl. But it was very faint.

Rukia felt a warm fluid underneath her. She knew it wasn't the fluid from her body, not blood nor urine. It belonged to the creature. It took her all of her courage to lift up her head from her buried knees. With every movement she made, she foreshowed her death by this beastly creature, whoever it was, it was deadly dangerous. And she knew it after hearing the screams of the men. She knew this creature felt no clemency or mercy.

She lifted her head and saw a werewolf sniffing her hair and neck. Under the full moon, Rukia could tell it was a grey werewolf. He was strong and built up, but he was hurt. His shoulder was hemorrhaging a pool of blood. The gun shots. One of them probably got him. Rukia heard his weak and painful howl again as he veiled his muzzle in her neck, still taking in her scent. His breathing was hastened and burned her neck.

Rukia sat there not moving at all while the werewolf devoured her scent. After a while, she felt the beast's body relax, his breathing slowed, the blood gashing from his shoulder ceased. The werewolf was healed. He suddenly pulled away from Rukia and pinned her to the tree. Rukia's small neck in his one hand shivered as he moved closer to her face. His muzzle so closer to her face that she could taste his wild breathing. This was the end and Rukia knew it. She closed her eyes and waited for the one and last blow to end her life.

Nothing came.

No claws.

No fangs.

No pain.

Just a lick.

Rukia shockingly opened her eyes. Again, the werewolf licked Rukia's lips tenderly and with that he suddenly disappeared in the trees, deep in the woods. The werewolf left Rukia in midst of the woods, her neck still warm and burning from her savior's touch. Her legs warm from the touch of his fur. Her lips still wet from her redeemer's tongue.

Rukia sat there unable to apprehend the events of the very night as she looked at the full moon.

Stark sat on the tree with his human form and watched the girl walked out of the woods like the life was detained from her. She turned back once more and looked at the woods, just one last time. Stark wanted to see her, talk to her, but he didn't know why. He never felt this way for ant humans. He knew he couldn't bring himself to do so but he hoped that he would see her.

Unable to stop himself, Stark followed her to her house – a mansion. She went inside and a little while later Stark saw a window open on the very top floor. There she was. She gazed out in woods as her fingers brushed her lips ever slightly.

Starks smiled at that. He would meet her again. He walked towards the woods as he inhaled the remaining scent of the girl that brushed off to his hand.

Rukia stood at her window with bloody clothes on that she didn't bother to change. She was scared and confuse. She only expected her dead body to come out of the whole situation, but she got out not just in one piece but had her first kiss stolen by a beast, a werewolf. Very heartbreakingly issue for her. But she didn't hate it. The beast saved her and pardoned her life.

She wanted to see him, again. Even if it's only a glance.
