A/N: This was inspired by many people. Plus I have gained a love for this fandom pairing much like I do for Naru-Mai. Though this one is Lin-Mai. I do support both pairings so I will be doing both pairings in their own stories. I hope you enjoy this one! I know I did! Also I did notice that weren't a whole lot of Lin-Mai pairing stories out there. Which was sad, since they could be so cute if done right; just like Naru-Mai are…while I don't know which one I like more, since right now they are even in my love for them. Plus I love Lin a lot! Who doesn't? And who wouldn't!

******Chapter 1 – Cursed by the Moon******

Waking up to see the world before me looking so different from when I went to sleep, I couldn't help but curse at my lack of current control… This past week had been the pits for me; I had gotten lucky enough to work at a shrine during the holiday break and what happens? I get cursed!

Rolling off my bed and onto the floor, my dark brown tail curled around my currently half human half wolf like legs while my brown mixed with black wolf ears folded back as I flinched in pain from the cold floor. Yes I was cursed to be a half human half demon wolf. That damn demon god has got some damn sense of humor. Couldn't it have cursed me into something that was expected in modern day towns?! No of course not! I'm cursed to be something like a werewolf!

I found out this on the second day that it cursed me. How I found out you may ask? I woke up really…really…REALLY wanting some fresh meat… And I hate raw bloody meat… Plus it was kind of hard not to notice when your wake up in a wolf body and actually see yourself transform back into a human girl. Plus the fact that now I can see a full moon almost every night.

Carefully I make my body go as human as I could get it with my curse. Slightly stumbling as my tail's slightly fluffy fur gets caught on the door frame to the bathroom. Yelling another curse to the demon in the moon shrine that I know who could hear me, I open the door to check my tail since it hurt very much so. Patting down the fur to see if anything was bleeding or broken, I rub my now sore extra part.

Oh, who is this stupid girl who got cursed? I'm Mai Taniyama…a Third Year in High School. Age 19 now… Single ever since I was born. Jobless since SPR closed a year ago. And family-less since everyone had lost touch…and now soon to be homeless…

I had gone to the shrine as a favor to another girl who wasn't able to make it that week since I had nothing I could do. No jobs had called me back, other than strip clubs, so she offered to pay me the week I went. After I checked my tail to see that it wasn't broken, just sore I take a quick shower before getting out and brushing my fur on my tail and head. I flatten my fur on my wolf ears, since my humans are fully gone since the curse took them.

Oh, yeah maybe I should mention this… I no longer have human ears. My ears are forever as canine wolf ears. They don't leave if I become human again same with my tail. But they are easily hide-able if I wear longer pants and a hat. If I'm not careful I could get scared into my wolf form and thrown onto the defensive. It's not fun, not one bit since the spirits seem to come after me even more now. I mean come on! What do I smell like a mutt in heat or something to them! I swear all ghosts are perverts! Perverts I tell you! All of them!

Getting to back to my room I get dressed in what I could wear if I was to have to leave my home during the day but would also be comfortable in. Since I am still learning on how my new body and curse work I have to be careful. The Miko of that shrine had tried her best to help me after she saw what happened, saying that it couldn't be lifted without another person that I love and loves me back by my side… I had replied saying: "So in other words, I'm screwed?" And she nodded! She agreed! That dog demon god was such a dick!

Trying to calm myself back down since I was starting to bristle, I re-flatten my fur. Now dressed in long black jeans and a white button up top with a black vest left open and a pure white fedora, I pulled my slightly longer hair out of my shirt, making sure that my tail was hidden as well as my new ears. I sighed; one thing the curse did to my body was make it more feminine like. I was graceful now and had a drool worth body I guess. But I would have liked it better if I didn't have it at 19! I look like I'm in my 20s now! WHY?! This change happened over the week once I was cursed, and not only did it change my body and appearance a bit but it unlocked a lot of my hidden spiritual abilities.

Now I have similar demon wolf powers like that dog god in that shrine, an awesome body that's still getting bigger in the chest and hips due to my natural age, my normal powers, a fluffy wolf tail and ears but also I noticed that I might end up have having heat seasons too! What did I even do to make that demon anger at me?! I don't even know…

I let out a sigh as I entered my little kitchenette to make myself some breakfast, which was a grilled fish that I was able to eat if I was really careful. One thing about my new body was that I craved meat a lot more…and the almost irresistible urge to hunt something down. I knew it was the new part of me but I need to keep it in check. It was too dangerous. I have a very hard time eating cooked meat now as well; the want to going hunting was harsh as well…

Looking at my reflection in the window, I could my new appearance. As well as the demon side of me, somehow we mixed just fine without it devouring my soul but I wasn't able to exorcise it from my soul… I could see the look of my demon half watching me with a kicked puppy look. I know exactly what I feel and I have the most control while the other part of me is like a child who doesn't understand what's going on. It's not another personality in me, or a whole demon soul…no. It's my actual thoughts on her…she is me while I am her. Same soul…same body…same everything… I just can't figure out how to train my new side without getting the attention of some…unwanted company, both human and spiritual.

Moving away from my food, feeling that my stomach couldn't handle anymore I step towards my school work that I had left in front of my couch in the living room. There was too much going on now in my life…School, exams for colleges, looking for work, trying to keep my apartment, my new powers, my old ones, and then my new problem… with that demon dog god.

As I completed my work I could already hear the gossip or rumors on my new appearance the moment that I step in that school. Mai Taniyama, the most tomboyish girl you could find out of everyone becoming the most feminine in the manner of a week! Letting out what could have been the hundredth sigh I close my workbook and focus on the newspaper from yesterday while waiting for today's, I still have to find a job and a cheaper apartment. Looking up at the clock I see that it was only 5 in the morning and yet I was wide awake since my eyes could easily see the light pouring in much better than before. Turning on my TV to the 5AM news I wait for the hour and half to pass to get the paper and mail.

While time went by slowly I turn to see my cell vibrating on the table. Looking back at the time it said it was 7AM now, how did I not notice the 5AM News turn to the 7 o clock Morning News? Quickly getting it and answering it while I made my way to my front door to grab my mail and paper, I hear a voice I never thought I could ever hear again. A deep voice that made my fur bristle in a slightly pleasurable way… wow that did wonders to my fur and spine…

"This is Mai Taniyama speaking." I stated.

"Taniyama-san…" a voice answered, it sent shivers down my spine so quickly I almost dropped to the floor as I finally made it to my couch. I could feel my tail curling around one of my legs in my pants, my ears turned and twitched to whatever sounds was made over the phone.

"Lin-san? What do I owe the pleasure?" I stated as I tried to keep my voice even. I was not expecting this…no ones voice has gotten so power of my new body before…

Needless to say I was slightly worried about him calling me. For a few reasons really: one I had gotten over my feelings for my old boss since he was so rude to me for so long; he became more of my serious older brother in a way now. Second I had gain a sort of crush on Lin after he saved me more than once when we worked together. And lastly I was scared…I was part demon now because of that curse…I know Lin was an Onmouji so he could easily kill me or bind me like his shiki… No matter my crush on him, I am not one to blindly lie down and roll over for anyone like that…

"SPR is reopening and I'm calling everyone from before for everyone to come to the office to see if they wanted to work for us again." He stated.

"O-oh…I-is that all?" I mumbled slightly disappointed. I mean he called me…the affection of a long time crush had called me and it's only work related. Of course he wouldn't think that about you Mai stop that. You just became an adult and he's at almost 10 years older. Plus why would he even look at you that way? You're a complete freak now and part demon wolf to boot!

"Taniyama-san? Could you come to the office today at noon?" he asked.

…

"Is everyone going to be there?" I asked back. I got a yes from him. I wondered if I could risk it…since everyone was going to be there it means it would be dangerous for me even though I missed them so much…

No it would be too dangerous…I could seriously hurt them…and they could attack me before I could explain. No, wait they wouldn't do that to me…right? They're my friends…my family. Wait…no, they left, we haven't seen each other in almost a year since Oliver left for England. So why wouldn't they attack the demon that just so happens to walk into the office. The office that would be protected by Lin's shiki and barriers… No! No, I can't risk it! It's too dangerous!

"Taniyama-san?"

"Yeah…sure I'll be there…" I said without following the logical thoughts in my mind, they were over powered by my desire to see everyone…to see Lin again. Even if it would be my last time, I just want to see him. "Goodbye…"

"Goodbye…"

I hanged up while holding my head; I just wanted to cry now. Taking a few deep breaths I get up to try to keep myself busy until noon. While at the same time trying to will myself to actually go and not go into hiding, like the scared girl I really was right now.

-LIN'S POV-

Why did she sound so upset? Did she already have a life of her own? Did I wake her up? Many thoughts ran in my head as I called the remainder of the group of irregulars, I did tell her that they would be here but I had yet to call them and get their answers. I had completely forgotten how the sound of her voice always made my heart jump when talking to only me that I had asked her to come earlier than what Noll had wanted everyone else come. Mostly because he wanted time for her tea, is what I believe…

Her voice had sounded more mature…well it has been a year…

Carefully getting the place put together for when everyone shows up, they had stated how they couldn't get a hold of Mai anymore, and were surprised to here that she would be here and wanted to get here before her so they could greet her instead of her greeting them. He didn't understand it but Naru did so they were allowed to come about 30 minutes before noon. While I worked on my office I could help but be excited to see the younger assistant and see how she was doing, while also worrying on if I would be able to keep my emotions in check since she was younger than me… I didn't want her to hate me…since she is the reason I came back to Japan with Naru in the first place.

-Time: 10minutes to noon-

Since everyone showed, even Hara-san and Yasuhara-san, we got everything done quickly and were now waiting for the last person to show up. Apparently everyone wanted to rekindle with Taniyama since we left. As Takigawa-san was talking to Matsuzaki-san about whatever they were, there was laughter as they talked to each other but everyone stopped laughing and talking as the bell sounded. Naru and I turned, like the rest to the door to welcome Taniyama, but what we saw was something I had not expected…none of us were…

There in the door frame was a young woman, with long soft brown hair that reached her mid-back and warm cinnamon colored eyes. She as dressed nicely too. A nice white button up top with a black vest left open and a pair of black jeans, she had a pure white fedora on her head and a pair of heels on her feet. She was beautiful…my eye's widen at her walking in, while setting down a light brown bag near the coat rack. But she left her fedora on her head as she turned to face everyone, waiting.

"Excuse me; do you have an appointment today?" I asked the woman. She turned to me and smiled sadly while shaking her head. She opened her mouth, which had a natural rosy pink look to them, and said something that caused all hell to break loose.

"It's nice to see everyone…"

Taniyama-san?!

"M-Mai?!" was screamed from everywhere around the room, the only ones remaining silent was myself and Naru. Both of us were too shock at her new appearance to speak. While she walked in and sat on the couch I felt my heart flutter, instead of jump. She moved with such grace and elegance… Even more so when she walked closer to me, I felt my shiki move quickly around her.

-MAI'S POV-

I sat there waiting, and watching everyone…including Lin and his shiki's in case they figure out what is wrong with me. No one spoke for a while until Yasu became Yasu again. "Mai, you look so hot now! What happened?" I heard him say.

I crack a smile at him as I turn to look at everyone. The emotions of my situation came and hit me hard. The new inner demon side of me whined at being near them, wanting to run away from them. But at least it wasn't for their blood, but to be accepted by them. At least I was able to keep myself in control better than I had thought. Shaking my head at his question I smile at Lin and Naru. "I was contacted to come in? Was I needed for something?"

The look of pain on their faces hurt me even more, and the pack like nature I held wanted to come out even more. This is going to be difficult! "Mai…are you okay?" Monk asked me as I didn't answer. "Mai…we're re-opening SPR and we called everyone here to ask if they wanted to come and work for us again." Naru stated, while he had changed the subject, I could tell with the way he was watching me, he wanted answers to some question I didn't hear from him.

Though I caught him looking at Lin a few times, who I noticed had yet to look away from me…or even more from where he was standing. Even his shiki continued to move around me, not hurting me but trying to comfort me? Turning my attention back to the young boss in front of me I sigh softly. "I couldn't at the moment. Right now, my life isn't exactly how I want to be for me to be working with anyone at the moment. But I'd be willing to come in on a few cases if you need me."

Then everyone started on how they would come back to work and wanted to know what was wrong. Geez they were so loud, it's a good thing my ears are under my fedora otherwise I would have to rub them for how much they hurt now. "Once I get my matters taken care of, I'll come back to working full time or whatever you want to call it."

"What could you be doing that has you unable to work full time?" Naru asked with a raise eye brow. I smile slightly, if you only knew. If only you knew…

I stand and walk to the door, grabbing my bag that I set down there when I entered. "I'm trying to get rid of a curse and tame a demon…I'll call in my new address and everything later…bye." I stated as I walked out the door, hearing them freak out at the word I stated.

"Demon/Curse?!"

I smile and almost laugh at them. They still care for me…good it will help later if it came down to it…I just hope it doesn't… Feeling the shiki around me give me a soothing warm feeling as I left, like they could tell what was happening to me and what had happened.

-LIN'S POV-

Demon?! Taniyama is fighting a demon right now and a curse?! But she looks fine…like she was hurting but not in pain…Looking towards Noll who was shooing everyone out of the office. My guess is that he was going to start thinking on whatever this demon case was. I know I am…

I entered my office and sit on my chair in front of my computer while trying to think.

"Master?"I heard one of my shiki called out to me. Turning my head to the white one I answered it. "What is it?" "Mai Taniyama is housing a demon curse in her…but it was tamed in a different way."

"It smelled like it was forced into her a bit a go but has grown to merge with her…but the scent of fear was on her as well… I sensed over protectiveness coming from it…but coming outwards from her."

"The scent was coming from her entirely…it wasn't evil either."

With those thoughts I began to wonder about what happen happened to her. If she was now merged with a demon, but wasn't evil then what did she become? Is she alright? Why did she look so frighten when she entered the room. She looked like she was waiting to for us to notice something or like she was ready to run away. I saw her look at me the longest. She looked like she wanted to stay, but she always looked slightly frightened by everyone here…I don't want her to be afraid of me…why would she be? Wait…did she perhaps find out about my affections for her?

I could feel my shiki fly around me, some laughing at that thought and others sighing. I felt myself getting frustrated the more I try to figure out what was going on.

-MAI'S POV-

I found myself rimming with pride as I was able to talk with everyone in the office and be near Lin and his shiki and not be over come with the primal urges from my new instincts. As I reached the door to my apartment, I saw an envelope that was separate from all my normal mail sticking out of my mail port. Grabbing it while going into my apartment I felt myself stop moving. This wasn't from my land lady…she had already gave me an offer for keeping my apartment in this mornings mail, that I had yet to open. This one didn't have a return address…or anything. All it had on the front was my first name writing in a weird script.

My instincts flare up as I realize I don't want to open it. Looking at the envelope I could help but shudder as I watched it in my hands. Setting it down on the table I could almost feel the dark energy pulsing off it. Looking down at my hand I could see a small black flame covering my hand. It didn't hurt at all but I felt the evil trying to enclose my hand to my arm. Realizing that the evil energy was forcing it way into my body, I quickly start chanting. Feeling the chant actually harm me since I was now part demon, I almost stopped mid-chant but continued until the dark flame went away on my hand. I could feel my breath escape me completely since I could feel the darkness of what did get in my soul make it's self at home, as well as the 9 cuts trying to purify the air or whatever it does. My wound healing quickly actually…the wounds were sizzling but healing close. Huh…didn't know I could do that…

I could also feel the demon wolf part of my soul fighting against whatever was that black flame. It hurt… it felt like I was burning inside a fire… like I was being pulled completely apart…and cut into tiny pieces while still having full feeling of each wound. Holding my hand that was the source of the fiery pain, I moved my way to my bedroom, bumming into many things as I tried to get to my bed to try to sleep. I felt as tired as I felt the inner demon healing abilities trying to heal whatever that was wrong inside my body. Finally collapsing onto my bed, I drifted off and passed out from the pain. I didn't even notice that it was only 4 in the afternoon or the fact that my phone was ringing.
