Chapter 1: Reform
Cloud sighed, bored of waiting. He sat up and saw the WolfSaeiga still in its clamp, pressing down hard as the blade was heated. Cloud rolled his eyes and flopped back down. The WolfSaeiga was being repaired, the shard that Wolf and broken from it re-edged. After all Cloud had done, he still couldn't get it to form into the "light as a feather" reverse blade sword that his father wielded. He sighed again and looked up into the trees. He was in the middle of the newly grown forest that had sprung up about a few months ago. It's been at least a few years since Wolf and Taylor had returned from the rescuing of Kiara and had given up their sword days. Cloud looked down and scratched his 18 year old chest, yawning loudly. His body had grown into a slim, regular body with some muscles. His hair was dark brown blond and long, going down to his lower back and covering his shoulders. It was untamed, uncombed, and uncut, just the way he liked it. From the top of his furry mass, two triangular brown ears poked up through his hair. They twitched as the wind blew gently around him. He wore his inherited Green Kimono-Hori shirt that his father had given him. It was his usual outfit: the Pants were baggy but didn't go past his ankle; it had elastic in the waist so he didn't have to use a belt. The shirt he wore under the hori was light brown and sort of robed, long sleeved but baggy, the lining of his chest was exposed while the sides were tucked inwards inside the chest section, making it robe like. The hori was laced in the front by a few strings in a chest line. It stopped about a foot down and blended into the rest of the shirt. The sleeves of it were extremely large, so he could have arm room and so he could cross his arms inside his sleeves. He was barefoot also, boots and shoes made him uncomfortable, so he went without them. His eyes had changed color also, they were now goldish-brown and were slanted on the ends. He had no beard, no mustache; he kept him self clean shaven. He heard a faint ping from the WolfSaeiga. He jumped up and sat in a sort of dog squat, his legs bended and his arms in front of him between them, the sleeves covering them completely. He stared close at the anvil that stood by the large furnace. He was in a small hut in the middle of the forest, about ¼ of a mile from Havenshire, or what was left of it. Havenshire was overrun by Wolf Fever infected people and abandoned until he and Kane led his mother and the others back for protection. Cloud poked the blade with one of his nail-claws. He winced as it burned his finger. He blew on the triangular nail and shook it, glaring at the clamp. He stuck his tongue out at it and unhooked the clamp. He held the straight blade of the WolfSaeiga in his hands, by the hilt of course. He dunked it in a barrel of water and heard the long drawn out hiss and the smell of the drifting smoke as the blade cooled. He pulled it out and examined the reformed blade. It was whole again. He noticed that as a straight blade, the WolfSaeiga had become extraordinarily dull, but he knew if he unlocked the reverse blade form, it would be a sharp as Wolf's keen eye sight and mind. Speaking of which, he looked out of the hut window at Havenshire. From there he could see his mother's laundry hanging in the wind. The walls were totally rebuilt, thanks to his father and uncle. The gates were re-hinged and Havenshire had become Saeiga Hill, the incredibly large home of the Heroes of the Kingdom. Cloud opened the door to the hut and looked around. The land was in full spring as life burst from all corners of the forest. Birds sang, squirrels scampered around, trees were thick and covered the entire field near and around Havenshire, and even the field was covered! Cloud jumped up high into the air and did multiple air tricks, roaring "WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!" He landed on a tree and propelled himself upwards farther. From the ramparts Mura watched his brother flying about. She rolled her eyes and walked down the rebuilt stairs. All the rubble had been cleared and the houses inside rebuilt. The stores, the office buildings, everything was the way it used to be. Wolf and Taylor rebuilt the mansion and moved inside to live. Mura walked to the open mansion doors and stepped inside. As she walked through the large entrance Ryan jumped over the railing of the side stairs and ran through a door, a book in his hand. Mura watched him go with a confused look but giggled as Sarah ran after him "GIMMIE BACK DAD'S BOOK YOU NINNIE!" She screamed as she ran through the door Ryan had run through. Mura climbed the large stairs that to the second floor as Kiara came down and said "Oh, hi Mura, I hope you don't mind but could you stay on the first floor, it's being bug bombed, we got a little case of termites" Kiara was just like her old self, her pink kimono and eyes glowing softly in the sunshine, and her long brown hair going to her middle back. She had a soft, sweet face and an excellent body. Mura shook her head and went back downstairs to the kitchen. Mura had grown up a lot like cloud too. Her body was crafted into a beautiful young woman's, Her hair was sort of long, going down to her back shoulder blades, tied in a sort of ponytail, where the hair came down and met at a pink bow that was tied in her hair, and flowed back out. Her legs and arms were slim and slender, her stomach slim as well. Her chest was built strongly like her mother's, and shaped like her dad's. She had gotten a real bra for her 18th birthday last week and was still getting used to the…well, to the tightness. She wore a blue jean skirt to show off her legs, and a light brown silk shirt, but not as light as Cloud's. Her eyes were like Cloud's, slanted, but their color was a mix of her Dad's and Mom's, Green and Brown to make a greenish hazel. Mura walked into the kitchen to see Wolf sitting at the table. His appearance was completely different. His hair was long and shaggy, going down to the end of his back. His hair was pure silvery white and his green eyes even darker. He wore his Brown Kimono hori and wore the same colored robe shirt Cloud donned. He had no wrinkles and was clean shaven. He clawed between one of his four pointed fangs with his triangular claw-nail. He looked at Mura coming in "Ah, Mura, how are you today" Mura smiled, put her hands on her front thigh bones and bowed "I'm very good today Uncle Wolf, Cloud is coming back from the anvil hut, and your children are running around the house arguing and chasing each other for your book. Wolf rolled his eyes and pushed out a chair across from him with his foot, which was barefoot. Mura sat down as her father walked through. He had aged also, but like Wolf, had hair going to the end of his back and two long strands going down his front to his chest. His hair however, was pure jet black, and his triangular ears were as well. He wore an ultra dark, emerald green Kimono-Hori and had the fangs and claws of a killer. He took a seat next to Mura and pulled her to him, giving her a hug "Morning sweetheart, Cloud give you trouble in your sleep again?" He asked. Mura shook her head against his chest "No dad, just the same old snoring." Taylor snickered and let Mura go. Kacie came in through the back door with a collection of potatoes and carrots. Her body was gorgeous, she wore a white robed shirt and a very long red skirt, covering her legs but giving her room to move and walk. Her hair was in a sort of style, giving her a ponytail in the back and two circles of black hair on the sides of her head, hanging freely and flapping against her as she moved. Kacie grunted and heaved the large basket on the counter. She sighed and arched her back, falling back wards she reached her hands backwards and planted them on the floor. She had made a full arch of her body and pulled back further with strain until she heard her back crack. She pushed herself back up and sighed with relief. Kacie looked at the three situated at the table. She put her hands on her sides and asked "Where's Kane?" Her question was answered when she heard a roar come through the window
"SHINKIROGARA!!!!!" Wind blasted through the window as they heard cracking of trees and the whirling of the pure silver disk Kacie roared out of the window "DAMMIT KANE SNYDER YOU WATCH HOW YOU GATHER FIRE WOOD, YOU COULD HIT THE GRAND TREE! AND REMEMBER, JUST BECAUSE IAN GAVE YOU HIS ORANGE SWORD DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO ABUSE IT" she pulled her head back in the window and took a deep breath, releasing it slowly. Kane called back "YEA, K MOM!" They heard more loud whacks coming through the window as Kane sliced at the trees outside. Kacie went to the fridge and pulled out a jug of milk "So Mura, what do you plan on doing today?" Meanwhile, outside, Kane wiped sweat of his forehead. Kane was built like a tank, his chest slightly muscular but hard as steel. His black triangular ears twitched as he scratched the back of his head. Long hair obviously ran in the family as his was almost as long as Cloud's, only going down to the middle of his back, and like his ears, was black too. His eyes were emerald green like his dad's and wore the same colored hori pants as him. He too, was barefoot. On this upper body he wore the same colored robed shirt Cloud had. Kane looked over to see 2 water bottles, a basket of bread and cheese, and his emerald green Kimono-Hori shirt hung on one of the still living tree branches. Kane sighed and continued whacking at the trees, cleaving them apart with one blow. He looked up when he heard a whooshing sound and saw Cloud jumping high into the air, leaping this way and that. Kane rolled his eyes and got back to work as Cloud landed on the ramparts and dashed to the mansion. Cloud ran through the doors and burst into the kitchen "DAD, DAD! THE WOLFSAEIGA IS FIXED!" He shouted excitedly as Taylor took the blade from him. He looked up and down the green blade, fleeing the long straightness of it. Cloud asked "Can you teach me how to use it now? Huh? PLEAASE!!!" Taylor smiled "Maybe another time Cloud, you need to learnhow to properly use it now that you fixed it, just give it some time. Cloud groaned and walked out of the kitchen. He went towards the mansion door but stopped as Ryan ran past him, dropping Wolf's book. Ryan was like his dad, slim and muscular, but his hair was short, only covering the back of his neck and his human ears. His triangular dog ears were light brown and he wore blue jeans and a white T-shirt. Sarah came panting up towards Cloud and picked up the book. "Darn that retarded road runner" She gasped as she tried to catch her breath. She was built like her mother, her hair going down to her middle back and her body as hard as steel. She wore a darker shade of a pink kimono. She looked up at cloud "so what you doing Cloud?" she asked. Kacie's voice carried from the kitchen "Clooouuud, come in here and help me peel potatoes." Cloud sighed and rolled his eyes "Apparently I'm skinning brown lumps of crap" Sarah giggled as she walked back outside while he walked into the kitchen. Wolf had taken the newspaper and Taylor had another copy. Wolf sipped his tea and pointed to one article "Fevered masses attacking Kingdom of Jerijon, the king calls for reinforcements." Wolf looked up "That's only about 25 miles from here" Mura looked up from the open refrigerator door "You don't think they'll come here do you?" Kacie's eyes moved from Mura to Wolf to hear his answer. Wolf thought about it for a minute before chuckling "Nah, don't worry Mura, the Fevered wouldn't dare of coming this far out" Taylor sighed "Well that's good, I'm getting tired of hearing those shri..." The group jumped when they heard shrill screaming and roaring coming from the outside. They heard Kane's voice screaming in panic "FEVERED!!! FEVERED!!!!! HIT THE ALARM!!!"
