Kionji: -appears on the stage and bows- Konnichi Wa, Konnichi Wa! Hello all, and thanks for stopping here to look at my first Wolf's Rain FF. This is my first attempt so appropriate crit. is apprished. However, flames will be either doused or cast aside and ignored. No one likes flames, so don't post them.

Anywhos, my ideas for this story are simple but complexed for me at the same time. I have to figure out all this. XD Anyways, Kiba and the others will appear, maybe next chapter or the next... I'm not sure. I want to spend a bit of time writing about these guys first. Besides, this Fanfiction is mainly aimed around them. -Shrugs-

Also, I'd like to ask if someone will help me and read these before I post and help me correct a few things. I know my spelling is horrible and sometimes I'll make simple phrases and so on. I'm not the best writer out there so I'm bound to make mistakes, hell, even the best writers make mistakes.

0o;; Ouuu.... I'm ranting before you even get to read the first chapter... Wooooww.... I'm really into this. XD Anyways, this chapter revolves around five characters who are going to be, basically, the main characters . ANYWAYS! DISCLAIMER! Hige, you take the honors!

Hige: Appears and groan Fine, fine. Kionij does not own any of the Wolf's Rain origional characters. However she does lay claim to her characters that are to appear and will appear that she has made up. Bows and walks out

CHAPTER #1

Rescue

In the middle of an un-named town, a scream filled with pain and terror peirced the night-time air. A rough voice growled, and a slapping noise sounded. Another scream followed the sound of a swift kick.

In a run-down alley, a girl lay crummpled on the ground. Her shirt and jeans were in tatters. She held her thin sides with delicate hands as she brought her knees to her chest. Her bare arms and legs were covered with blue and black briuses. She cried out in pain as a large foot connected with her unprotected back. Tears rolled down the sides of her face like a never ending down pour. Her glassy, golden eyes stared at the cause of her pain.

A tall, large, muscular, dangerous looking man brought up his hands, interlaced them, then pushed them forward; He cracked his knuckles. A menacing smile crossed his lips as he stared down at his prey with a deadly hunger in his eyes. The girl's lower lip quivered as she whimpered in pain. Her eyes never left her attacker even as her silvery hair fell down into her face to tickle her nose. The man kicked her repeatedly, laughing as he did so. His taughtning laughter rang in her ears like thundering drums, it tormented her knowing what would happen soon. Just as she cried out in pain again, a voice rang in her ears over her attacker's evil laughter, "Get away from her now... or else..." She turned her golden gaze to the new arrival that stood in the alleyway's enterance. Her attacker's foot froze just inches from her lower back.

A boy stood at the end of the alley with three more just like him. The moonlight shone down onto his being in a heavenly way. His black hair, wild and long, fell in all directions down to his shoulders. His blue eyes were not upon her, but upon her attacker, glaring with a deadly threat that dared him to kick the girl again. His dark denim jacket's sleeves moved as he flexed his muscles. The girl watched his chest, she saw it was bare beneath the jacket, muscular and broad. His tan skin was covered in resent and old scars. Golden eyes look up and down him for a moment, in fear he would help the man attack her. She noticed his jeans, as well as his jacket, were in shreads, torn by something or someone unknown to her. She trembled with fear.

Suddenly, a pointed boot connected with the spine in her neck. She gasped, her vision still on the boy. He looked at her, his eyes peircing as two of his freinds gasped, one started to growl like a dog's threat. Her eyes shook, her vision blurred before everything went black. She fainted to the evil laughter of the predator, and the shouting words of the strange boy, "YOU'LL DIE!"

If she had stayed concious for a moment more, she would have seen the boy's shadow. Strange, and differently formed then human, fly over her as the boy vanished. A black dog snarled and latched onto the man's throat from behind. The man started to scream... but it would never come as the dog's jaws tightened... then pulled back...

Sunlight shone down into the face of a sleeping girl. Her thin, swollen lips parted slightly to let her breath in and out. Her chest rose up and down with a rhythm of its own. Her long silver hair fell around her sleeping being as she lay upon an old matrice. Four pairs of gleaming eyes watched the sleeping form. With a slight growl, the eyes left the dark shadows of the room. Moments later, four boys walked out of the run-down, abandoned building. The one leading the other three wore a tattered, blood stained jacket and jeans to match. His wild black hair flowed in the gentle autumn breeze. His sapphire blue eyes aimed on a large, cement pipe. He trudged over to it and leaned forward agesnt it, one knee bent. His eyes glazed over, lost in thought was he, that he didn't realize that one of the other boys was speaking with him.

"I can't believe you saved a human girl!" A brown haired, green eyed boy snapped at the back of the leader. His fists were clenched in fury, his eyes blazing with an unrealistic fire as he glared. "A human, Haru, a HUMAN!" The boy raised his fist and took a step towards his leaders back, but his fist was held by another boy.

He looked exactly like the wide black haired boy who leaned agesnt the pipe, except the fact that his hair was brown and his eyes were instead hazel. His lips were set at a grim line, worry and fury mingled in his eyes. "Shut up, Tao. Leave Haru alone. He chose to save the human because no one should be treated that way." His eyes narrowed to thin slits as he watched Tao look at him with a deadly threat in his eyes. The boy released the other's clenched fist and set several steps back. His form faded as another appeared where he stood. There a large brown dog stood. It's white underbelly, muzzle and tail turned gray from dust and dirt. Hazel eyes were instead, now gold, in the boy's true form. He stood on well used padded paws, equiped with deadly razor claws. Pearly white teeth, pointed and gleaming, shone in the early sunlight as he bared back his upper lip in a snarl. His eyes flashed with a dare. Come on, Tao. Come at me...

Tao's lips twisted into a menacing smile. His own form faded to show a dog, similar in body structure to the brown and white one. His eyes were instead, still green, bright and emerald shaded. His fur was baggy and smoke gray. He raised his upper lip in his own snarl. He crouched low on his forepaws, chin low to the ground as he watched the double colored dog do the same. As Tao was about to leap at the other, the final boy who had said nothing stepped inbetween them. His coal black eyes shut, left eye brow twitching under long blonde bangs. His blonde hair was uncombed and ratted. Kuno raised his hands and placed his left palm towards the dual colored dog and the other right to the gray dog. "STOP THIS!" he snapped, impatiant and irritatedly. "This is ridiculous. Your older then pups, your supposed to be mature wolves, now started acting like it!" He growled as his form faded as a gray and white wolf took his place. He sat upon his haunches, his eyes looking from one to the other, glaring. His eyes finally stopped on Tao. Tao. You know better then this. I've raised you better then how you are acting. His coal eyes looked at the double colored. Souta, you know your brother best of all of us. He is wise. He knows what he is doing and I know you know he is. Do not wound his pride by sticking up for him. Had Tao hit Souta, your twin would have prevented it on his own. The corners of his black lips raised in a wolfish grin. Tao, I would advise agenst attacking our pack leader. He could slaughter you within a second.

Tao snorted and raised to his full hieght, as Souta did, and huffed. I'l believe it when it happens. he muttered in a-matter-of-fact tone as he headed over to the shade of a large white sycamore. There he plopped down on to his stomach and crossed his forepaws. Then he rested his chin upon them. Slowly, his human form replaced his wolf form to show he was resting agesnt the trunk of the tree, eyes shut and hands clenched.

The white and gray wolf smiled as he changed back to his human form, Souta as well did so. He ran is hand through his blonde hair as he looked at Souta. "You should watch Tao, Souta. He's dark on the extrerious, but inside, hes calm and alone."

The once brown and white wolf nodded, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know." With a simple shrug, he went to his look-alike and patted his back before leaning on the pipe next to him. "Hey, Haru. What's up? You seem like your hypnotized, man."

Haru, who had heard nothing before snapped to reality. He had been thinking about the silver haired girl that he had saved by ripping out her attackers throat. He blinked his sapphire eyes and looked at his brother. "Huh. Oh, Souta. Sorry. I was lost in my thoughts."

Souta grinned, "Lemme guess. The human gir?"

The black haired head nodded, "Yeah. There's something familiar about her. I just dunno what though. Can you feel it too?"

It was a brown haired head that nodded this time, "Yeah. She does have a familiar scent to her. I just can't place it. I'm sure the others smell it too."

Haru sighed and looked up to the run-down building and into the window where they had left the poor girl. He smiled as he saw her sit up, finally, awoke after five long days.
