This is just a Wolf's Rain storry that I've had for some time now posted on quizilla with little success, so I've decided to try my luck with it on here. Don't worry, since I've already got it typed, it will take up little of my time. The only thing I'm changing is my title.
Disclaimer: Just like my Naruto series, I don't own Wolf's Rain, either.
The main character is a female wolf. Her appearance is light brunette waist length hair and lavendar eyes. In her wolven form, she has a white coat with a tint of silver to it. Her eyes are a vivid and almost luminous blue. She is usually a gentle and caring person, but getting on her aggrivated side isn't someone's ideal choice. But however, society's hate for wolves has left her with a bitter feeling for humans, though not as bad as Tsume's hate for them.
"This is human speech."
(This is wolven speech.)
This is emphasis on a word.
"These are human and wolven thoughts."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Closing her eyes, the wolf smiled softly to herself. The darkness of the night enclosed around her, but the full moon served as serenity alone. This had been one of the best days for a long time. She had actually gotten a satisfying meal without getting caught and shot at for once, and the city's guards hadn't seen her all day, so that meant that she wasn't out of breath, nor was she going hungry - at least not tonight. Just as she found serenity in the darkness, something to the right could be heard. Springing her eyes open, she saw a guard lurking over around by the end of the alleyway in which she laid. Scrambling to her feet, she pressed herself against the cold, stone wall, all the while trying not to draw attention from the guards. She knew all too well that any sudden movement from a suspicious figure would send the guards firing. Unfortunately, the guard looks over sher way, and spots her.
"A wolf! I've spotted a sixth one!"
Without hesitation, knowing that it's only writing herr will to stay put, her allowed her inner wolf to become exposed and lunge at the guard, who stumbles and falls on his back, his weapon flying yards from his grasp. Not bothering to finish him off, she sprint through the streets, the lamplight of the streets lighting her dimmed path. She could feel the wind brush her fur back. It made her feel free. But before she could really enjoy her temporary feeling to its full extent, she is taken down but an unseen force.
"Ahrgg!" She growled.
She could smell a wolf's scent, unlike her own. Actually, a couple. Thrusting the force off of her, she glared at it. It was a white wolf. It bared its fangs dangerously at her, and she snarled at it.
(Who are you?) It demands.
(What's it to you?) She hissed back.
Glaring at her one last time, the white wolf turns and darts into an alleyway. She moved to follow it, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her hind leg. With a sharp howl of pain, she tried to run from the guards that were now on her tail. Unable to go further, however, her vision becomes blurred and she collapses in the middle of the street light's vibrant gleam, the last thing she seeing is the guards hovering over her with their rifles in hands...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She awoke later on, in the late evening or early morning, judging by the sunlight. She is in a cage, locked and tightly secured. She stood up to the best of her ability, but wimper as the pain from the bullet shocks through her entire body. In an attempt to free herself from this prison, she crashed herself violently against the cage door. Nothing. She thrust her body against the cage a second time. Then a third. A fourth, and eventually a fifth. The sixth time after she had tried without an effect, she collapsed wearily on the bare floor of the cage. Then, she heard voices.
"...This one could be the same as the last one we caught, it is also a white wolf."
A woman spoke, followed by a man's voice.
"Cher, what damns me is that ya didn' learn yer lesson dah firs' time."
There was total silence.
"Greg, I really am amazed at these wolves- oh nevermind. You don't get me at all, do you?"
"No, Cher, I don'. Ya wanna know what I think?"
"No, not really- "
"I think that ya should leave the beasts alone and work somewhere else. The las' time ya found one a those- err, things- ya almost got yerself killed when the damned thing attacked ya!"
More silence.
She could hear footsteps, and the doorknob rattled. She braced herself and tried to stand, but to no avail. A woman came in, dressed in a white scientist suit and blonde hair tied back in a bun, her bangs down beside her face. She sets down the clipboard in her hands and knees in front of her through the cage bars.
"Hi, I'm Cher, a scientist studiying wolves. Can you understand me? You wolves... I think you are intelligent, I really do."
Cher reaches her hand slowly towards her. Out of instinct, she growled furiously and snap dangerously at her. She retracts her hand quickly, looking terrified at her. She snarled at her, baring her sharp teeth. Cher sighs heavily, closing her eyes, then picks up her clipboard. After jotting down a few notes on her paper, she leaves her alone once more in the room. She lie down on the floor again and drift off into slumber, reality playing heavily on her mind.
She was awoken by an annoying clicking and chiming noise. She look up, and can faintly make out the silhouette of a person. Though they appaer to be human, she inhale deeply, and it is the scent of a wolf that fills her.
(Who's there?) She asked.
"Ahh!" The boy jumps and falls on his rear, and a slight jingling noise is heard.
"Oh it's you!" The boy exclaimed in a slight whisper.
"I, I saw some guards shoot at you, and I thought I'd help you, 'cause I knew they'd take you here. But I'll help you escape! Promise! But- "
(There's some sort of catch to earn my freedom, isn't there?) She demanded.
"No!" The boy protests, in a highly childish voice.
"I just want you to tell me why you smell like lunar flowers! Kiba said you did, and Tsume didn't believe him, and then Hige wanted to come find out if it was true, and that's when I followed you, and now- "
(I don't care. Just get me out of here!) She snapped, not knowing who all these people were, and at the moment, not caring either.
"Oh, okay..." The boy silences himself and continues to fumble with the locks.
"I can't figure it out, there's some kind of really small, weird shaped hole here, and I can't break it!"
After what seems like an hour, there is a small click and the child swung open the cage door and she finally got a good look at his face from the moonlight. He was not as young as his voice let on, but he had an innocent, and childish look to his gentle appearance to make things even out. His shoulder length brown hair curved in gently around his face. He also wore a pinkish long sleeved shirt, with green army-like camoflague pants and boots. His warm brown orbs greeted her neon-like blue ones as she stepped carefully out of the musty cage.
"So, what's your name miss?"
"It's Tsuyu," She replied curtly.
Her stay in the cage had made her irritable. She resorted to her ningen appearance.
"And yours?"
"It's Toboe!" He piped, smiling brightly.
Tsuyu couldn't help but grin at the kid's innocence.
"I apologize if I seemed to be a bit... aggitated, earlier."
"Oh, that's okay, miss Tsuyu! I don't mind; I'm used to it anyways."
She gave Toboe a strange look, then shook her head and proceed to exit the building, when an alarm was triggered, resounding off the cold, bare iron walls of the building.
"Run!" Tsuyu shouted, grabbing Toboe's wrist and sprinting out of the room, dispite the overwhelming pain in her ankle.
"There's guards behind us!" Toboe yells.
"Don't look back, then!" Tsuyu exclaimed.
She could hardly stand the pain in her ankle for long, and are shocked to feel the bullet scrape against her bone. It had never been taken out, and she had no idea that the bullet had gone in that deep.
The guards still fire at her and Toboe, trying to prevent them from ever leaving the place. But eventually, after much effort even trying to stand on her feet, they are out of the place and into a nearby forest. Collapsing from the pain in her ankle, Toboe runs to her side.
"Tsuyu! Are you alright?" He asks, shaking her side gently.
"Tsuyu!"
Awake as she is, she couldn't seem to find enough strength any longer dwelling in her to stand.
"Toboe, where'd you go, runt? We couldn't find you- Whoa! What the hell? Who's that?"
Tsuyu could hear a male's voice coming from somewhere, but, lost in her own darkness, she couldn't see him.
"It's a friend," Toboe explains quietly in her defense.
The other voice sighs.
"Kiba and Tsume won't be happy you know, with you bringing people here out of the blue."
"But Hige, this is the girl that Kiba told us about! The one that smells like lunar flowers! I had to save her, there's no telling what they could've done!"
Hige sniffs the air, inhaling deeply.
"You're right, runt."
Tsuyu could finally open her eyes, and she gazed at the blurred, foreign world around her. Slowly, she sat up, making sure not to put pressure on her ankle. She heard a rustling noise, and two blurred figures apear beside the first blurred figure that must have been the one called Hige.
"Toboe..." She murmured, feeling nausea in her stomache.
"They, they won't hurt me, will they?"
Without waiting for an answer, she passed out, unconsious.
