Chapter 1: Goodbye my wolves

---

The forest was calm tonight, serenity seemed to be the best word to describe the atmosphere that surrounded them. The wolves at her feet seemed content to just lay there while she sat on the boulder, knees pulled up to her chest and chin resting on her knees. A child, that was what she resembled at the moment. Dark hair falling across her back and shoulders and her bangs shielding her deep oceanic blue eyes. Dressed in a simple black knee-length corset-like dress, she waited patiently for him to arrive. She knew that he would be arriving soon, but she also understood that he wasn't very comfortable to be this close to the humans. She had to only take a few steps to exit the forest, their haven, to enter human territory and that of course was not something that he would look forward to.

He represented wildness and freedom in it's truest form and he would be damned before he chose to uphold himself to the human's way of living. Too deep in thought she barely had time to register his presence, the slight increase in wind was enough to alert her though. Head snapping up, she watched as he practically burst from the surrounding trees, the wind ruffling his dark hair, while his deep arctic blue eyes met her paler ones. "Are you certain about this?" There was no greeting and honestly she wasn't surprised. She could notice perfectly well the tenseness to his frame and the way his jaw seemed to clench. He was worried and not at all satisfied or pleased with her decision, but he would need to accept it.

She found herself smiling when he inquired once again if she was sure about her decision. Even if they weren't blood related, there was still this certain bond between them, one that could probably resemble that of siblings if it wasn't for his constant flirting and his blatant interest in her. She had tried making it clear to him that she wasn't interested in him romantically, but apparently he was even more stubborn than she had expected.

"Yes, I'm sure," she paused meeting his arctic blue eyes with her own sapphire ones. "I'll be fine." Even when these words left her lips, she knew very well that this wouldn't be enough for him, especially considering which school she was planning to attend. As expected he scoffed at her. The action one that she was rather familiar with by now. "You forget that you tend to attract trouble wherever you go."

It was her turn to frown at him, even when she knew that he spoke the truth. She did attract trouble everywhere she went. "Yes, trouble like you," she shot back, making him stutter as he tried to come up with some sort of retort, but knowing very well that she was right. He had after all abducted her the first time that they had met. "I was young back then and you certainly smelled delicious and looked good enough to eat," he told her with a flash of fangs and a very sultry look in those arctic blue eyes of his.

Unable to help herself she let out a soft annoyed sound in the back of her throat. "That's why I slapped you." Arctic eyes darkened and she mentally congratulated herself on getting that one jab in. Someone needed to deliver a good hit to his ego once in a while, she was more than glad to do it. It was certainly satisfying to watch the almost always confident male suffer indignation at her hands. A giggle escaped her as she watched him cross his arms over his chest and look away. She had to admit that found this part of him rather funny and cute. Even if he was considered a prince and a powerful leader by his people, he could also act like such a child at times.

It was endearing.

A warm look entered her sapphire eyes and she found herself smiling gently.

She was lucky to have him as a friend.

There was no doubt that she was going to miss him. Without needing to think, she stood up and wrapped her arms around him. Surprise made him tense for a moment and she was tempted to hit him on the head, he should have been accustomed to her shows of affection by now. Fortunately for him, he seemed to react rather quickly after his bout of confusion and wrapped his stronger and larger arms around her, bringing her closer to him. He was always so warm, the thought made her grin, even when she felt him nuzzle her neck affectionately.

"What am I going to do without you?" he murmured softly in her ear, tightening his arms around her much smaller frame and she couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret. She knew how much he cared about her and how deeply those feelings ran...she wished that she could return them, but sadly she couldn't.

Pulling away, she offered him a small as she told him: "I'm sure you'll find something to occupy your time...perhaps finally pursue a certain redhead we know." She giggled as he openly scowled at her and she had to mentally admit that she had tried. "Not a chance, she will only drive me crazy." There wasn't a doubt that she would. The wolves who until then had been quiet made their jealously clearly known as they nuzzled her stomach, while others licked her legs and pushed their head against her. It seemed that just like their master, they didn't want her to leave. "I know, I know," she cooed, kneeling and petting them on the head, an act that was rather complicated with how many of them there were. Still she made sure to give her attention to all of them.

As she focused her attention on the wolves, he took the time to observe her. He really didn't want her to leave, but he knew that there wasn't anything that he could do to stop her. Even after the physical changes that have occurred, she still was the same when it came to personality. He found himself chuckling a little, earning him a curious look from her.

"Please promise me that you'll be careful." She found her gaze meeting his as he spoke these words and she couldn't help but smile again. "I promise," she murmured, even when in reality she didn't know what to expect. Something in that school called out to her and she always followed her instincts. She shivered slightly, the wind picking up around them, causing her dark hair to flutter around her, just like it did with his chocolate brown hair. Standing up, she moved closer to him. At the same time a warm hand settled on her cheek, tracing the soft flesh. Unable to help herself she closed her eyes, enjoying the way his hand gently caressed her skin. It was these small touches between them that were the true proof of the strong bond between them.

"Go," it was barely a whisper, but she caught it. Sapphire blue eyes met his and she hesitated briefly. He smiled. "Go, before I decide to drag you back with me." This time it was her turn to smile as she touched the hand on her cheek briefly, before she was stepping back his hand falling at his side.

"I'll miss you." He smirked, his sharp fangs flashing at her as his elf-like ears twitched, an action that always showed his amusement. "You'd better." She laughed than, the sound carefree and bell-like in quality. "You know I will," with that she was turning around and walking away from him, which was probably the hardest thing that he had to ever experience. He knew that he would be close by, but the simple act of her walking away from him was enough to awaken the strong instincts in him that told him to follow her, bring her back. He unconsciously took a step forward, but stopped himself from taking anymore steps as he tightened his hands at his side. The wolves at his side, seemed to sense his mood and let out soft whimpering sounds. He knew that they wanted him to stop her, but he couldn't. She was not his, therefor he should give her freedom to do as she wished.

"Good luck, Kagome," his whisper was carried by the wind to her and just before she stepped out of the woods she found herself pausing in her steps. Turning slightly, she caught those arctic eyes staring back at her and she found herself smiling once again. With that last gesture, she stepped out of the woods, her gaze settling on the large building farther away.

Cross Academy, her new home. She didn't know what was waiting for her, but whatever was there was calling to her and she could not deny it any longer. Brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, the howls of wolves could be heard as she continued on her way.

She had a feeling that she would not be alone, knowing him and the wolves, they would not be going anywhere. A small grin crossed her features.

"See you soon, my wolves."

Blood red eyes observed the sky quietly, the moon was full tonight, the color a mix between blue and silver. It wasn't just any moon, no he could feel the energy radiating all around them, with each ray that touched them there was a hint of something far more greater than anyone could imagine.

"Kaname-sama." The vampire shifted in his seat, his gaze meeting the one of Aido. He inclined his head in a way that would encourage the other vampire. "Is there something wrong, Kaname-sama?" The dark haired male shook his head and returned his gaze to the full moon.

"It's a wolf moon," he whispered and chose not to say anything else. He knew that Aido would not understand what he meant and that was fine with him. A wolf moon was something to be wary and both excited about.

The wolf moon always brought some kind of visitor, be it foe or ally, you never knew and he would be looking forward to whoever this person was. A smile reached his lips as he heard the howl of wolves. Yes, it seemed that whoever this person was he or she would be arriving soon.
