Well, I writing this because I read a Cinderella Rockman fiction, so that inspired me to write this. I was also watching the beast season of Rockman, too. Please review to tell me how I did on this, and enjoy.

The Hunter is Hunted

A man, no, a tall teenager that looked around the age of sixteen is hiding behind some bushes. He had teal hair and looked very muscular. He had blue eyes and looked really serious.

This man is named Laika. Right now, he was stalking a pack of wolves. The wind was in his favor, it was flowing towards him, so that his scent did not travel to the wolves' noses and be alerted.

So Laika sneaked closer and closer to the wolves until he was in range. He brought up his bow that hung from his back and took aim, but as he did all this, someone, or should I say something was watching his every move.

Right when Laika had lifted his bow, the being was alerted and gave a bone chilling howl. The wolves' heads perked up and they began to run away. Laika cursed to himself, because he had not paid attention to his surroundings.

So Laika gave chase to the wolves, trying to at least wound one so that he could catch up and kill a wolf with his sword he had, but that idea was stopped when a shadow appeared above him. Laika looked up just in time to barrel out of the way, for a winged beast was ready to kill him from above.

After Laika stopped, the winged beast landed and Laika could see it clearly now. It was white, it had a mane around its wolf like head, wings that looked like a falcon's, and a arrowed white tail. On his chest, there was a symbol, it was a red circle with two triangles connected by a line. Finally, after Laika observed the creature, he spoke. (1)

"If you're here because I was hunting those wolves, then I'm sorry, but I desperately need to get food for my sister at home." Laika said. (2)

The being's eyes softened a bit, but then grew intense. The being became savage and lunged at Laika. Fortunately, Laika's reflexes were fast enough to block the blow to his chest by the claws.

After the block, Laika countered and slashed downward, giving the beast a terrible gash across his chest and symbol. This seemed to enrage the beast more, making it berserk. Its eyes turned blood red and the beast began slashing at Laika.

Laika was only able to block some of the slashes, so after the beast had calmed down a bit, Laika was left with many cuts, but not as severe as the gash Laika had given to the beast. Laika breathed in deeply, though it hurt to, he needed to get some energy back so that he could win this battle and go home to his sister.

Laika picked up his sword and then charged at the beast, though, it seemed the beast saw this coming and dodged at the moment Laika had slashed down. During the time Laika was recovering, the being had said something. Celer Ignis. (3)

Right after it said those words, fire came out of no where and hit Laika dead on. Laika landed ten feet away from his sword and the spot he was standing at.

The beast growled and began to near the enemy. Laika recovered and stood up. This did not seem to phase the beast, for the beast had held back at that moment.

The beast then spoke some inaudible words, which Laika had thought to be swearing, but Laika had no other time to think, as the beast spoke those same words again and fire came out of no where again. This time Laika dodged and he ran to the trees where the beast could not use it's wings.

The beast followed after Laika who ran to find something to his advantage. The beast was surprisingly quick and was able to follow Laika, though, it was running on all fours and was gaining. Laika began to panic, he had no sword, and he couldn't use his bow because he had to take time to aim.

All of this running seemed pointless, until Laika had an idea. The beast, or being was running on all fours when the legs were a bit longer, so Laika made a sharp turn and the being had no time to stop as it crashed into a tree.

Laika smirked to himself and began to get away, but the beast recovered fast and began the chase again. Laika tried to do he same thing, but it didn't work because the being had figured out a way to throw its momentum toward Laika.

This all seemed hopeless until Laika spotted a vined area. This gave him an idea. The vines acted like the spider web he had in his games as a child. All you had to do was get through the spiderweb quickly enough and you win. Of course Laika won all the games, and the area was just suited for him, so Laika headed toward the vined area. (4)

So Laika ran through the vines like they weren't there, but when Laika turned his head, he could see that the beast was also doing well, even better actually, and the being wasn't even using his claws like Laika had intended him to do.

"Oh great, he's a champ too, and he doesn't even look human." Laika said.

Then, the being did something unexpected. It flew through the vines and roughly grabbed Laika by the shirt. It flew through the vines to the top of the trees. Then the beast threw Laika into another area of the forest. Luckily, Laika landed in a tree, then broke through and landed on a bush.

Laika was knocked unconscious after he landed on the bush. Then, after the beast landed, it prepared to kill Laika, but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. It looked back, to see a familiar face.

"Don't, or you'll really be a monster." Wolf said. (5)

-To Be Continued-

1. If you watched the final episode of Rockman Beast, you would have a great image of how the beast, or being looked like.

2. I know Laika doesn't have a sister, but go along with the story.

3. It means Swift Fire in Latin.

4. This is an actual game, though, its for kinds under ten, but older people can play it too.

5. Eh, I needed more characters so I added one of my own for now.

Well, I hoped you enjoyed, and remember to review so that I can make this story even better. Also, you may have read that I kept using 'being', 'beast', and 'it'. Well, I have a reason for that, I hope you figured it out, if not, you'll find out why.

Next Chapter- Equal Trade

In the next chapter, the sister of Laika is distressed. Her brother hasn't come home yet and now she hears that a monster lives out in the forest. So she sets off to help her brother, but when she finds him, she has to make a choice. She either chooses to be free and abandon Laika, or she trades places with him.

Also, in the next chapter, you'll find out who Laika's sister is. Is it Pride, no, maybe Jasmine, nope, maybe it's Meiru. Well, wait for the next update.
