This story takes place after the MANGA series of Wolf's Rain NOT THE ANIMATED SERIES, even though Darcia in this story can change into a wolf/human .

I DO NOT OWN Wolf's Rain or BONES characters, the only character I own "for now" is the

black/red hair girl.

Chapter.1

Last Request

It has been a week since the sun appeared from behind the clouds and began warming up the Earth. A young woman driving her green Jeep Wrangler took a short cut on a dirt road she had never taken before home. It cut through a heavly forest area that began waking up from its long slumber, the braches budding leaves the ground growing grass and weeds. It was a nice day, the high tempeture caused all the snow and ice to vanish, leaving only puddles of all sizes behind. The forest suddenly vanished as the road came to an open field. She squnited and raised her hand to shade her eyes from the bright sun then pulled the jeep's sun shades down.

Its took her eyes some time to adjust to the light but when the stinging stopped she got an eye full of a beautiful country field. The grass grew more thickly there then in the forest, giving the filed lovely shades of green. She rolled down her window to let the warm breeze cascade over her face, sending her hair whipping around her. Breathing the scent of the sea deep in her lungs then let it out with a sigh.

Her eyes caugth what looked like a building hovering over the ocean,

"What the."

she slowed her car down to give herself time to get a full look at it. The building looked like hell, its windows shattered and parts of its structure in the ocean.

"I wonder what happend there." she asked expecting no answer.

And just as she was about to speed off into the distance she heared a voice.

'Help.'

She stopped the car and looked around to find no one. She checked her radio to see if she had left it on, it wasn't. She shook her head and thought that it was just her mind messing with her, due to the lack of sleep or the side effects of the meds she was taking. But to make sure she sat quietly in her jeep and listen out for the voice again.

'Help, please.' The voice was weak but she could tell it belonged to a female.

But the voice didnt seem like she was hearing it with her ears but in her head, and it was coming from the large building. She dung in her pocket and pulled out her cellphone. No bars.

'Damn.' She couldn't call for help, and she hadn't seen a soul for about five miles.

With a sigh she placed her cellphone back in her pocket and drove off the dirt road toward the building. Near the shore she found a large conrete bridge that looked stable enough to drive across. But as she got near the buildings open doors she found large gaps and cracks, leaving narrow pathways to drive on.

The young woman began to sweat, her clothes itchy making herself uncomfortable,

"No, calm down. Remember your training." she told herself frimly.

Then, with a big inhale, drove forward. In a slow pace she managed to avoid the gaps and acouple of the cracks. Occasionally she'll hear splashing as the bridge cumbled under her vehicle. Her heart slammed frantically agenst her rib cage, her hands gave a death grip to the steering wheel turning her kunckles pale.

She did her best not to panic but picked up the pace of her current driving speed. Eventually, she made it across.

She stopped the jeep at the building's doorway then lay her head on the steering wheel, giving herself a minute to catch her breath and relax. When she was calm enough to think she rised her head and was meet by a dark hallway, she turned to get her duffle bag from the back seat and brought it to her lap. Unzipping it she pulled out a flood flashlight and flicked it on. She then got out the car and began wondering the dark halls, for support she ran one hand on the wall while the other held the flashlight lighting the way. She had no idea were she was going but her impulses seem to lead her in the right direction.

Every now and then she'd call out, her voice bouncing off the walls into darkness, then out of the darkness a voice would bounce back. It seem to get louder as she turned a corner leading her down a very long hallway, were a dim light lit the end of it. She picked up her pace, careful not to trip and fall over any rubble that might have falled off the walls or ceiling. But as she got closer the smell of decomposing bodies hit her like a bus at full speed. She quiclky removed her hand from the wall and clamped it to her nose, before the odor fully consumed her.

With flashlight in hand she scanned the area around her, she almost missed the flash of red as she swung the light to her right. In a flash, she yanked the light back to the corner of the wall, she froze to what she found. There, she saw, a puddle of blood, some of it still fresh, trickles down the wall. She yanked the light up the blood trail to her eye level.

There crucified what looked like a woman, her face covered with flies and maggots. A hole through her chest.

She accidentally releasing her nose and gasped loudly, sending the flies scrambling. Taking in lungs full of tainted air. She collapsed to the floor, the flashlight hitting concrete in a loud 'thud'. The light rolled in a circle until it was set on her, bile rose in her throat. She covered her mouth with both hands, swallowed convulsively against the urge to vomit.

Suddenly, a soft, feminine voice echoed in her mind,

'This way, come this way.' The voice drew her attention back to the faint light at the end of the hallway.

With her nausea suddenly gone she picked up her flashlight and ran toward the voice, leading her out the room of death. Once she entered she was immediately engulfed by light, blinding her for several seconds. When the light died down and the room got into focus she froze, every muscle in her body paralyzing her. The equipment she saw in the room brought back so many memories she'd hope to leave behind. Large capsules, wires, a bloody dissect table.

'Walked out of one nightmare and into another.' she thought to herself.

Her trembling legs began itching toward the exit and just when she was about to run the hell out of there, the sun casted a soft ray of light through a large gapping hole in the ceiling to a large crater in the center of the room. Her mind then cleared itself from all distractions as her eyes settled on a young naked woman, her back turned to her. Her amazingly long lime colored hair scatted all over the ground and beside her looked like some kind of purple animial, lying motionless in the center of the crater with her. She ran over, placing her flashlight in her pocket in the process. Kneeled then carefully rolled the woman in her arms. Her long hair tumbling over her naked body.

She appared to be sleeping, her expression showing bliss, her beautiful peach skin glowing in the suns rays. Her silk soft hair sparkling in the light.

"Uh, lady. Time to wake up." She called out as she tapped her cheek in light slaps trying to wake her.

Not a moan, not a sigh.

Worried by the lack of her response, she thread her hand through the ladies lime hair to flatten her palm against her chest. Her fingers meet warm liquid and she yanked her hand away, finding the pads of her fingers covered in blood. She then slowly moved the blood soaked hair aside to see the full extent of the ladies injuries.

She was dead.

Gulit build in her chest as she laid the dead woman back to the ground, letting out a weary sigh she wiped her bloody finger tips on the cold floor. Then began chastising herself,

'If I hadn't freak out over seeing that body she could have..., its not like it was my first time seeing one...' She closed her eyes for a brief moment and sighed.

Rubbing her clean hand to the nape of her neck she whispered out "Idiot."

The animal next to the dead woman suddenly twitched, starling her. She got up and walked around it till she faced the animal, her eyes widened.

"A Wolf?" she said in awe.

She kneeled down to get closer then shook her head in disbelief,

"No, it cant be."

She adjusted her knees to get comfortable, took a slight breath in then carried out a soft tone.

The animal responded in a low whine its body coming to life, ears twitching, muscles jumping. When the canine began turning its head revealing the left side of its face she became silent, ending the purple animals pleasure.

She stared horrified to see no eye, just a large cluster of dry blood and matted fur over were it should be. Thats when she began to realize that the Wolf was in critical condition. It was extremely thin, most of the animals body fat gone. Its breathing so labored she feared that with every breath it took might be its last.

"Oh no, I didn't come all this way," She began to make an attempt to carry the Moose like canine.

Her skinny arms barely wrapped beneath the wolfs massive neck and hind legs. Feeling its bones pressing against her arms, she had to hurry.

"To leave empty," She began to lift the unconscious creature, but she underestimated the body weight.

The wolf was lighter then she expected, causing her body to tilt. She staggered to keep from falling but once she evened out the animals weight in each arm she took her first step.

"Handed!" She said frimly through clenched teeth.

Each leg felt like fifteen pounds, she couldn't imagine what they would feel like if this animal was feed daily and still be unconscious. Before exiting the room she stopped to take one last look at the woman laying dead in the crater. But when she stomped her foot down the floor beneath her sneaker began to tremble. A crack appeared and made its way toward were the lady laid.

The floor then collapesed under her, the body falling in a hole no deeper then three feet.

"I'll tell my brother then come back to pick you up later." She told the body as if she were still alive.

The young lady then took another heavy step toward the exit and felt a floor tremble again. But this time parts of the ceiling above the womans lifeless body collapesed and covered her in concrete and rubble. After the dust settled down the young lady saw that the area were the body once laid looked like a grave.

She thought back to what she said earlier.

"I, guess not." And with that she left.

Memorizing the way she came in she avoided all of the fallen rubble in the darkness and found her jeep were she left it. The sun in the distance began to set turning the sky red and the clouds orange and yellow. She walked over to the jeeps passanger side and with little difficulty open the door, placing the canine in the seat.

She stood up straightening her back then with a sigh rubbed at her aching shoulders. Settled into the drivers seat and turned the key into the ignition, bringing her jeep back to life. Looking over her shoulder she backed out of the doorway and drove down the bridge. She let out a heavy sigh as she reached the shore.

"Glad thats over."

When she finally got back to the dirt road, a voice entered her mind.

'Take good care of her.' The feminine voice whispered.

She slowed down to a stop and began looking around, determine it find the source of the voice once and for all. Her eyes caught a glips of something bright green go behind her car. Instead of turning around she looked up at her rear view mirror, there she saw the woman from the crater. She should have freaked out but she didnt, the ghostly image the lady presented looked all too gentle to react in such a matter. The lady wore a white sun dress, her lips hinted a soft smile, eyes a beautiful shade of purple and her long lime hair flowed. The driver turned around but before she opened her mouth to say anything the lady faded away.

She continued to stare through the back end of her jeep, waiting for the lady to reappear again but the soft pain filed whine from her passenger brought it to attention. Reaching over she picked up the wolfs heavy head and placed it on her lap. With one hand she began stroking the canines fur drawing out another whine, but this time for pleasure. A smile then began to form on her lips,

"It's okay, I'll take good care of you."

With one hand on the steering wheel and the other still petting the wolf she drove down the dirt road into the sunset.

As you have read, this story is about Darcia and a woman that seems to have a dark past and a connection to the lunar flowers. Sorry if Darcia isn't your favorite non-hero character in Wolf's Rain, and I cant blame you. He was such a beach in the animated series, but I liked him in the manga series.

Please review.
