The moon was full. And howling could be heard from a distance.

I walked up to my window.

"Shit." I swore.

I ran out of my house and went wolf.

After some time of running, I made a sudden stop.

"It's about time you made it Sasuke." Sakura said.

"I don't make it a point to hand with vampires." I said.

"Have you heard about the new kid?"

I nodded. "Yeah. Heard he was a real kiss ass."

"I need you to become friends with him."

I looked at her with anger. "I hate vampires."

"You know you love me."

"Yeah sure whatever."

She smiled. "Now go."

"Where will I find him?"

"He's cowering in fear at the old abandoned academy."

"Typical." I started to walk away. I turned my head to look at her. "Yo, why are you always sending me to do your dirty work? Im not your slave."

"I know Sasuke. But you do work for me. And just look at all of the people that you've saved."

"I've only saved the phoenix. And now im going after some new kid."

She nodded her head. "Are you scared or something? Do you need Ino to go with you?"

Ino was the phoenix that I had saved in the past.

"Im not scared." I bared my fangs at her. "And I don't need the phoenix to help me." I ran off looking for the new kid.

My eyes glistened in the night.

I had spotted the old abandoned academy.

I sniffed the air. I could smell the faint scent of…ramen. Ramen was a rare thing to find. Ever since a select few were cursed and all of the normal humans left the area.

This new kid must have been cursed somehow.

I walked inside the old academy.

I followed the scent of ramen. It kept getting stronger. Then whimpering entered my ears.

He was like a delicate flower. So beautiful. His eyes gleamed and sparkled. He was just a sexy fox.

"Yo kid." I said walking up to him.

"Stay away from me?"

"What's your name?" I asked softly.

"N-Naruto."

"Nice to meet you. The names Sasuke."

I heard a growl in the same room.

I looked around. Then back at Naruto.

"No." I gasped.

"What's wrong Sasuke?" a harsh voice asked me.

I backed up and growled. "Stay away from me."

"Come on Sasuke." the voice said.

"No!" I barked. "Why are you holding this kid hostage?"

"Food is running low. I have to eat something. And why are you hanging out with vampires?"

"That's none of your business."

Itachi came into view. "So little brother. You gonna fight me to save this kid?"

"Sakura wants him to be unharmed. So you tell me."

When the curse came down, I thought that Itachi would have become a weasel. But no he had to become a wolf, just like me.

We made up the yin yang wolf. He was Yang while I on the other paw was Yin. The symbol was engraved in our arms.

My older brother ran at me.

Our epic battle began. Like two wolves fighting over who should be alpha. Our battle was gruesome.

I was backed up into a corner with heavy breathing.

Itachi, also breathing heavily, laughed at me. "You're even weaker then before." he walked over to the fox kid.

I jumped on Itachi's back. I bit down on the back of his neck.

He howled out in pain. He bounded around like a bull.

But I held on.

I was flipped over. My arm was bit down on. I could feel the bone being crushed in Itachi's powerful jaws.

Without even time to think, I clawed at his face.

He let go of my arm but went for my throat. He grabbed me and threw my across the room. He ran at me again.

I swung at him. Kicking his lower jaw.

He grabbed me again and nailed me to the ground.

I coughed up blood.

"Yin you might as well give up. You'll never win."

"Think again Yang. I work for vampires."

I grasped his throat with my powerful jaws and kicked him off of me.

But in doing so, he stepped on my shattered arm.

My eyes widened from the intense pain.

I spat fire at him. But since we both could use fire attacks it didn't help me out too much.

"I'll burn those wings of yours Itachi." I narrowed my eyes at him.

Itachi puffed out air through his nose. "You are a worthy opponent. But only I am victorious."

"Is that why you run away with your tail between your legs in the aftermath?" I wiped the blood off of my mouth. "Maybe you should run away now. Stick that in your juice box and suck it!"

"You'll pay for this Sasuke." He disappeared.

I sighed and walked over to the frozen in fear fox kid.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Me? What about you? You fought for my life. And you don't even know me."

"That's my job. That's why the vampires hired me."

"I like your job."

"It kinda sucks though. Cuz I have to save the cursed ones from my brother. All he cares about is feeding on others."

"It's amazing that you're still alive."

"It truly is a miracle." I cringed from the pain.

"Sasuke are you okay?"

"It's just a scratch."

"You can't play that card on me. I can see that your arm is broken."

"It's shattered. There's a difference."

"Can you walk on it?"

"So what if I can't? I will anyway."

"Are you sure?"

"I've done my job for many years now. I think I know what to do. Now follow me." I started to limp away from him. I glanced back. "If you don't follow me I'll be forced to carry you."

"But I don't like vampires."

"I was given strict orders."

"I don't care about your orders."

I rolled my eyes. "You will." I walked away.

I had just walked out of the academy when Naruto bumped into me.

"Sorry Sasuke."

"Whatever. Some friendly advice. Don't knock on death's door. Ring the doorbell and run. He hates that."

He gave a nervous laugh. "Where does death live?"

"I'll show you. Now strut!"

"But im not a model…"

"That doesn't mean anything." I continued to walk away from him.

"Why don't you strut?"

"It doesn't work as good when im wolf. But…" I turned human with some wolf qualities. "You wanna see me strut, fox boi?"

He nodded.

I looked down the skywalk and began to strut my stuff.

He ran up to me. His foxy tail trailing behind him. "You are so gay." He smiled.

"You have no idea." I licked his lips.

He pushed me away from him. "What the hell?"

"You know nothing of hell."

"Oi are you wearing eyeliner?"

I nodded my head slowly. "Don't judge me until you walked a day in my shoes."

He looked down and went fox in front of my very eyes.

"Oi, emo kid?"

I looked at him.

He laughed. "You go by that name?"

"All the time." I looked down. I went wolf and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck.

"Put my down emo boi!"

I ignored him and ran to my boss.

"It's about time Sasuke." Sakura said.

I dropped the kid. "Im sorry Sakura. I ran into some trouble."

"Was it your brother again?" Ino asked.

I gave a single nod with my heavy head.

"What happened to your arm?" Sakura asked.

"It's shattered. It'll take longer to heal then it usually does."

"He crushed you arm?" Ino shrieked.

I nodded.

Naruto looked at me. "Not much for talking?"

"Im heading home." I said to him.

"Am I coming with you or something?" he asked.

"Well it was directed to you." I turned and walked away with Naruto right be my side.

We made it to my house after some time of his non-stop talking and me ignoring him.

"So… you live in the middle of nowhere?"

I nodded. "Don't like it? Sleep outside."

"No im good. I love your house."

"Kiss ass." I walked in the house.

"Okay… so far so good." He whispered.

I rolled my eyes. "Take a shower. I don't wanna smell you all night." I threw him a towel and some clean clothes.

Once he was in the bathroom I walked outside.

"Emo kid?" a voice echoed.

"Ino? What are you doing here?" I asked the phoenix.

"I had to see you again."

I grinned. "You're sweet."

"How is that arm of yours?"

"Give it a week in a splint and it'll be okay."

She shrieked. "That's cool."

"Sing for me, my little phoenix."

She blushed. "You always get me with that. Wanna train?"

"Why?"

"Well once Itachi is dead…"

"I will die along with him."

"What do you mean dear child."

"Im a slave to the dark. The vampires hired me to save the cursed ones from Itachi. If he is dead then my services are no longer needed. Don't you see my angel of light… they'll kill me. And Itachi knows this."

"Im sorry. I never…"

"It's okay. But I must ask of you but one thing."

"Anything brave one."

"I need you to sing. Sing for me my love."

She opened her mouth and let a beautiful sound.

I let out a howl to match the song.

We sang out our song of death together. But like all songs, it came to an end.

We both went human.

"Mercy will never show her face to me." I sighed.

"Sasuke… my middle name is Mercy." Ino leaned close to me.

Our lips met.

My eyes widened. I pushed her away. "Ino! You know im gay."

"Im sorry Sasuke."

"You need to forget the past. What we had was nothing. I was a naïve child."

Her eyes swelled with tears. "Sasuke. I hoped that you would see what you need. You have no one."

"You thought I was soft and sweet. You thought an angel swept you off your feet. But when I turned up the heat…"

"I know Sasuke."

"Do you like what you see?"

"Yes."

I sighed and hugged her. "Ino…I…This is what I brought you. This you can keep. This is what I brought. You may forget me. I promise to depart. Just promise one this. Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep. This is what I brought you. This you can keep. This is what I brought. You may forget me. I promise you my heart. Just promise to sing. Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep. Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep. This is what is thought; I thought you'd need me. This is what I thought, so think me naïve. I'd promise you my heart you'd promise to keep. Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep. Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep. Kiss my eyes and lay me to…sleep." I handed over a small box.

"Oh Sasuke." She smiled. "It's beautiful."

"It was my mother's. Before the dark curse towered over us that is."

"What happened to her?"

My eyes swelled with tears. But I fought them back. "I didn't know what I was doing."

"What do you mean?"

"I killed my mother!"

Ino gasped and went fire bird. She flew into the air. "Sasuke, how could you?"

"I couldn't control myself." I went wolf.

"I thought you were different."

I looked to the ground. "Forgive me."

"I hope you stay cursed. And take this back." She flew off into the distance.

I grabbed the box with the ring still in it.

"It's getting hard to breathe. Darkness in my head frightens me. There's a little devil in my mouth writing ugly for you to shout. The virgin soul that lived in me is raped by insecurity. I need you to sing. Sing for me my love. Sing the right the wrong. Here inside my mind, truth is hard to find. It's getting too crowded here. All alone and playing with my fear. I don't want this anymore; I've tied myself down to the floor. I need you to sing. Sing for me my love. Sing the right the wrong. Here inside my mind, truth is hard to find. Sono mihi. Sing for me. Sono mihi. Sing for me. Sono mihi. Sing for me. Sono mihi. Sing for me. Sono mihi. Sing for me my love. Sing! Sing for me my love. Sing the right from wrong. Here inside my mind, truth is hard to find. Sing for me my love. Sing the right from wrong. Here inside my mind, truth is hard to find." I sang.

"You can sing like a girl?" I heard a voice ask.

I looked at Naruto. "No...Well…yes. I can change my voice to sound like Tarja. And a few other female singers."

"That's cool." He smiled.

I walked inside with Naruto at my heels.

"So…" he continued to talk. "What's up with you and the phoenix?"

"We shared a similar childhood. She was robbed of her innocence. As was I."

"Im confused. How?"

"I rather not give away any information. She's stronger then the flames. I'll tell you that."

"Hey where am I sleeping tonight?" He looked tired.

I grinned. "I can make you a bed." I said walking up to the couch.

"Thank you Sasuke."

I threw a sheet over the couch. "It's nothing."

"Don't you ever get lonely?"

I shook my head. "No. so how's this?"

"Wow Sasuke. You're like a super wife." He smiled.

I started at him with anger in my eyes. "Urusai."

"So where do you sleep?"

"In that room." I pointed to my bedroom.

He nodded and hopped up on the couch. "Goodnight."

I walked away. "Night." I said as softly as I could.

I trotted over to my bed, which happened to be in a corner.

I lay down on my bed and closed my eyes.

The storm finally hit with loud thunder, bright lightning, and blinding rain.

I soon heard my door open.

"Sasuke?"

"What?" I whispered.

"Can I sleep with you?"

"You wouldn't happen to be scared of thunder…would ya?"

"Please. Can I sleep with you?" he almost sounded as if he were gonna cry.

I sighed. "Fine."

"Oh good." he gave out a sigh of relief.

The little fox hopped onto the bed and snuggled next to me.

I started at him. Watching him sleep. I put my head down and held his furry little body close to me to keep him warm.

I soon fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
