Wolf's Moon
A/N: Gleam-eyes here! This is another AU fic on Devils Survivor 2. This time, Hibiki and the guys are woodland creatures! This fanfic takes to much of the events in the one-shot manga It was a Moonlight Night by Tooyama Masuko. Check it out if you want to get a somewhat advanced peek at the next events on this fanfic. I do not make any money off this fic. Devils Survivor 2 characters belong to Atlus. If they did belong to me, well... Nope, they're perfect just the way they are. Kudos to Atlus! XD On to the show!
~PROLOGUE~
Hibiki the rabbit shuffled cautiously from one bush to the next, sniffing here and there for any sign of trouble. But in his mind, he knew he was asking for trouble. /Mom told me never to venture this far to the edge of the forest at night, or even in day! She always warned me of the wolves here since I was a kit./ Hibiki thought worriedly. /But I'll never get to enjoy the full moon if I stay near the burrow. The nearer to the edge, the lovelier the view of the moon gets./ Mind made up, he crept forward through the undergrowth with the quiet manner of the rabbit folk, pausing at intervals to listen for signs of danger. Finally, Hibiki pushed through a ring of bushes to reveal a clearing. An outcropping of rock dominated the flat space like a small cliff. Hibiki raised his eyes towards the top of it and saw something that made his breath catch and a thrill of fear shoot down his spine.
A wolf...
Pointed and triangular ears, silver hair rippling in the night breeze, and clear gray eyes as if they come from the moon herself... Hibiki stared transfixed at the creature before him, heart beating wildly as the wolf locked gazes with him as well. The bright full moon shone behind the predator but Hibiki hardly noticed it. It only served to enhance the beauty of the hunter standing proud upon the rock. The wolf held the rabbit's gaze for a while longer then turned and disappeared into the trees. Hibiki drew in the breath he didn't know he was holding. As his heartbeats started to slow, he realizes he had just been seen by a top-tier predator and had gotten away unscathed. Even worse, he hadn't thought even once about running away from an animal who could and would've caught and eaten him in an instant. Hibiki looked at the moon, still bright, still beautiful... But he felt in his heart that he had seen something even more beautiful...
