A lone wolf overlooks a bustling city on a hill. Fuzzy balls of light cast off from buildings and machines can be seen polluting the sky of stars on this moonless night. Slowly she begins her descent into the world of concrete and steel below.

Tokaku walked into the empty classroom and took a seat near the back. Crossing her legs she propped her head in her hands and observed the room boredly. It was your average classroom. The desks were lined neatly in rows except for a large wooden desk and matching chair that sat off to the side. Other than that nothing seemed out of place, there was a chalkboard and other classroom necessities. A bell rang and students began to trickle in. They idled around talking to each other or causing some form of trouble amongst themselves.
Discretely Tokaku took a whiff of the air. Nobody in the classroom was human. It wasn't strange for non human creatures to be found together in large clumps. They all were probably in packs.
Tokaku glanced up upon seeing a girl with pink hair and pink eyes standing over her.
"Hi, I'm Ichinose Haru welcome to Myojo Academy! You must be Tokaku the new student." She said smiling down at her.
"Call me Azuma-san." She replied as another bell rang signaling the students to return to their seats.
A tall young man dressed in a white collared shirt and black pants came in son after it rang.
"Good morning class! We have a new student joining us today. Azuma-san would you like to introduce yourself?" He said smiling.
"No." She replied.
"Okay then," he said smiling brightly," Let's get on with class!"
He turned around and began to write on the chalkboard in front of him describing the life cycle of some creature or another. Tokaku looked around the classroom observing the other students and taking notes when she felt it was important. Most of the students were diligently taking notes except for a blonde in the front row sleeping.
After a while the bell rang signaling that it was time for lunch. Tokaku got up to leave before the pink haired girl from earlier came up to her along with the blonde who was sleeping at the from of the class.
"Hey Tokaku-chan my name is Nio. Welcome to class Black!" The blonde said smiling brightly at her.
"Call me Azuma-san." She replied walking away.
"What about Tokaku-san?" Haru asked catching up to her.
"Yeah what about Tokaku-san?" Nio asked.
'The blonde one is annoying.' Tokaku thought keeping a steady stride.
"Come eat lunch with us." Haru asked causing Tokaku to stop.
"Fine." She replied.
The three walked to the cafeteria Nio talking non stop the entire time. After getting food and finding a table Tokaku ate in silence her two classmates talked.
The rest of the day dragged on after lunch and Tokaku left quickly after it ended heading to the apartment she lived in. She opened the door as soon as her phone beeped signaling her to a text she received. She flipped it open.
Sender: Kaiba
Do you like the new place? You're not getting anything else. Here's a useful piece of information, none of the packs in your town have any protection. Keep that in mind when meeting the locals.
She read the message before shutting her phone and changing into some jogging shorts and a jacket. She looked out the window the sun had already went down and what stars could be seen through the glare of the city where starting to peek through littering the night sky.
Tokaku opened the door and went out locking it behind her. She jogged down the steps continuing as she made her way down the block. Her neighborhood was a quiet one with few people.
She jogged for about an hour making her way to the more populous parts of the city. She stopped in front of a dimly lit convenience store and walked inside. It smelled faintly of cigarette smoke and stale air. The cashier looked old and tired. Tokaku walked to the back and and grabbed a bottle of water before purchasing it and walking out of the store.
She heard a sharp snarl from the alleyway next to the store.
'You don't have to do anything. Just ignore it and go home.'She scolded at herself.
She heard a yelp and smelled the coppery scent of blood increasing in poignancy as time went on. A fainter scent was underneath it though Tokaku couldn't quite place it. Tokaku turned down the alley faced with the sight of two large wolves fighting at the end of the alley.
The smaller of the two that was a dark pink in color was lying back down underneath the bigger lighter pink one. Blood seeped out of the smaller one in various places splotching the ground and the fur on both wolves. Blood dripped from the muzzles from both of the wolves.
Tokaku bolted down the alleyway transforming mid run clothes ripping in the process and pounced on the bigger wolf knocking them off the pink one and rolling them into the wall. The injured one quickly jumped to its feet before falling down again.
Tokaku and the enemy scrambled away from each before jumping to their feet hackles raised and teeth bared in snarls at the other. They stood at a stand off. The bigger one went first jumping at Tokaku who went under them and jumped up knocking them down and quickly clamped her fangs around the others neck pressing hard enough to feel ,but loose enough not to puncture.
She waited until the bigger wolf stopped squirming and relaxed their muscles. It was a sign of submission. She won this short fight.
Tokaku released her grip before moving away and going over to the other injured werewolf. She had turned back into her human form.
It was Ichinose. Tokaku nudged her immobile form over her head and unto her back. She looked back at the light pink wolf. She sat snarling at them ,but not moving. Tokaku turned away looked out at the alley before sprinting down the street dodging civilians and ignoring bewildered onlookers.
She wasn't sure how Kaiba was going to cover this up. Right now she just needed to get home and away from danger.
