Ok I know I keep starting stories but at least I go back and type on the others I cant help myself. I just got this game and couldn't put it down. It was so adictingXD. Well anyway here you go!

Chōkyōshi Shiriusu kimono(the Sirius beast tamer)

Purorōgu: Shiriusu no norikumiin no densetsu(Prologue: the legend of the Sirius crew)

"Bāchan, Bāchan! Tell me the story again." And elderly lady lifts a tiny three year old girl onto her lap lightly laughing.

"My little Neko… how many times have I told you the legend?" the grandmother lightly taps her grand daughters nose with a finger. The girls eyes dance like cobalt stars yet there is a tint of yellow in the center that can be seen. Her hair held up in cute dark brown pig tail as her bangs frame her face sweetly. Her grand mother could tell just by looking that she would grow up to be a very beautiful young lady. The old woman laughs, "Very well my little neko. Listen closely now. Are you ready?" the little girl nods her head like crazy.

The Sirius was a ship that had a crew that sailed where heart of those on board wanted to go. The crew was consisted of six members in all, each had a price on their head bestowed on them by the Moldor Navy. You see even though they were not the sort that attacked people or didn't care about anyone they were still pirates of course. There was the pirate king himself: Captain Morgan he was a bit…nice to women but when it came to travels there was no one better to lead the Sirius crew. Russell was a fine swordsman who liked to get into a rumble with rivals every now and again. He was loyal to his friends as were all the members yet he would try to hide it behind a rather unusual reason. Christopher was the doctor of the ship who could never find a reason to frown. He was the sensible one of the group trying to make them think twice before getting into an unnecessary fights; yet when it came right down to it he would fight to defend his friends as well. Nathan was the chef on the ship along with being able to give commands for the cannons. No one could match him when it came to fighting with a sickle sword. Although he was quiet on the ship he was never afraid to speak his mind and trusted his allies completely. Eduardo was the mate of the ship and the best navigator that any crew could have. No one could match his skill. He was a bit cold towards people but he had an underlining sweet side that not many people ever got the chance to see including his own ship mates. The final crew member was Thomas; he was still a green horn on the ship but he was still very brave for one so young as a pirate. As I, said the Sirius crew was not like most pirates: they never attacked the innocent, the only found treasure hidden in different islands from legends if they could help it and they always looked out for one another. They went on many adventures and visited many towns and ports and collected as many treasures as they could find. Yet at the end of the day it was all about the adventure for them. One day they heard of a treasure on one of the islands near Yamato they even got ahold of the map that would show them the way.

However this treasure was said to be charmed and didn't even exist at least not gold or jewels. However they didn't know this little fact. The treasure, my dear neko was the chance to experience freedom the kind of freedom that only the animals of the wild could even hope to experience. Now this charmed treasure whoever was to discover it was to give them this experience however in order to experience they would have to give one thing up in return for it. What that thing was, no one is really certain. Well without knowing about the charm or even the fact that the treasure didn't really exist as they thought it did they went to this island. The island was called Nakayama; it was abandoned a long time ago due to the fact that not very many crops could grow there so it was easy for them to find the cave where it was hidden. The only so called trap they had to face was many riddles left by the one who buried the treasure. When they reached the treasure vault there was a big chest waiting for them. As you could imagine, my little neko, they were thrilled to see the chest. But when they opened it, there was nothing inside but a rolled up parchment. Each took their time trying to figure out that the riddle on the parchment or rather the one sentence: Yaseide wa, subete no ningen no tame no shin no jiyūdearu. Now as you could well image none of them knew how to speak the ancient language of our country. However, the charm was activated once they all touched it. The parchment vanished along with the Sirius crew. The charm had been activated and it was cast on them. How ever no one knows what happened to them. They never appeared after that. It was strange no one was sure what even happened. Some claimed they went down in the Bloody Triangle other say a giant serpent with many heads took their lives. Of course none of those theories have ever been proven. However there was another part to the charm that was casted. Only one person and their descendants would be able to hear them they would be given a special talent for being able to hear the voice of the animals and the Sirius crew.

"Their disappearance was over one hundred years and no one knows what really happened to them little neko. But I have a feeling someone will find out what happened to them someday." The old woman patted they girl on her head. "Now little neko it is time for you to go to sleep."

"But Bāchan-"

-howl-

"Wolves!" the little girl ran outside staying on the porch of their home staying away from the nearby forest. "Listen Bāchan! It's wolves." The grandmother comes over to listen with her granddaughter.

"Yes my little neko; they howl to greet the full moon." They both watch as the large glowing sphere rises higher into the sky and listen to the howls that greet it.

Mori to hanasu ōkami o kiku koto ga dekita shōjo(the girl who could hear the forest and the wolf who speaks)

Birds were chirping in my ears as I stirred from my dream. The sun was just coming up as I looked the wall. The wood was shining with the first rays of light.

"Bāchan…" I sat up rubbing the sleep from my eyes. It had been about three years since my Bāchan had past away. That was on the week of my sixteenth birthday. Now this house is too big and quiet; but it's still my home and I love it just the same. I turn to my left and see a picture of Bāchan on the wall. I smile happily, "Good morning Bāchan."

My morning consisted of what I normally do every day: get dressed, eat breakfast, sweep the floor then put bird seed out in bowl for the near by birds. Some of the same ones from previous times flock over right away after I set the bowl down. As I watch them a sparrow lands on my shoulder and greets me in a tiny sweet voice:

"Good morning Reisaki!" I was scared at first when I began to hear animals talk a while back when I was seven but eventually it became a normal thing for me to hear them now.

"Good morning." The sparrow leaves my shoulder to go enjoy its meal. Judging from the sunlight that was now rising higher over the forest it was about nine. I headed back inside to grab my bag and a basket for shopping. By now the shops should be open by now. It was a fifteen minute walk to the town since I lived on the out on the outskirts. Once there the town was alive with many others in Yamato going about their business.

Let's see I need: ginger, yams, and some spices…what were they again?

-Sigh- oh well I guess I can think of it later.

I couple of kids pass by playing with wooden swords chasing each other around before I head to the first shop I have to go to. I buy the items I can think of first that I need before walking around thinking of what else I need to buy. Once done with that (and unable to think of what spices I need) there are a few stores I check out for window shopping. There's a jewelry stand that catches my eye.

"Oh! How pretty!" there's one with a gold chain and a glass bird as the decoration. Another looks as though it's a tear drop on a leather chain.

They all seem so pretty; I can't choose which one I like more.

There's a commotion from down the street with people screaming an others shouting angrily.

There's a bar down that way; someone may be fighting.

That wasn't the case though. Suddenly two wolves come charging this way. One was a blond colored wolf while the other behind him was a light sandy brown. They each had something that looked like chunks of meat in their mouths. The sales man soon cam running after them with a meat clever in his hands

"You wild mutts! Come back here!" the man was sweating from being out of shape. He throws the clever hitting the slower wolf on the hind leg. With a yelp he drops the meat and makes a break for it with the other one. My anger rises as I glare at the butcher huffing and puffing. I could hear the wolf screaming. Leaving the butcher alone my teeth dig into my lower lip at the thought of what could have really happened, at least he didn't make it so the wolf couldn't walk. The butcher picks up the tainted meat and heads back for his shop.

"Reisaki." My skin begins to crawl when I hear the smooth voice. A hand suddenly intrudes and tilts my chin up to see dark brown pools staring at me. I push Toma away from me and get a better look at him. His hair reminds me of a raven and he's the kind of guy that thinks he can get any girl he wants. Apparently he thinks that he can get me as well. "Out shopping again Reisaki. You and I really should stop meeting like this."

"Meeting like what? You're the one that tends to think it's fate we meet up together." I say annoyed.

"Oh come now don't be so cold Reisaki." He tries to reach for my cheek but my hand slaps it away. "Still playing hard to get? You're mean…"

"No actually I'm tying to tell you to piss off; I'm not interested. Go get one of your fan girls to be you flame."

"They don't have the assets like you do. You have and even amount of everything a woman needs for her body."

Ugh… from him that's more of an insult.

"…Give me a break." I roll my eyes.

"That's what I like about you though Reisaki." His arms snake their way around my waist drawing me closer to him. "You aren't like the other girls who swoon over me at first sight."

"I'm sure I'm not the only one…"

"In Yamato you are." He leans in trying to steal a kiss from me. Out of the corner of me eye I spot a hawk and ask him for help. It takes me a minute to bribe him with some meat I have back at home but eventually he agrees. The hawk swoops in and goes for Toma's face. His hands release me and Toma slips on his own feet hitting the ground with a bid thud. The hawk joins me again and I make a break for it before he has the chance to grab me again.

…

Back home the hawk awaits for me to give him the meat I promised him.

"Don't you have paws of your own to fight back with?" he asks me as if he's all high and mighty.

"Well I do but I'm not strong enough to fight him off."

"You should become stronger so you don't weigh us animals down with your problems."

"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to be a bother to you…um… what's your name by the way?"

" I am called gold feather."

"Well thank you for your help Mr. Gold Feather."

"…Where is the meat you promised?" I go back to fixing the plate for him of meat and place it on the table for him to enjoy. He eyes the meat thoroughly before looking at me, "You have good eye for meat. You must enjoy it a lot."

"Well-"

"Reisaki! Reisaki!" the sparrow from earlier today flies into my kitchen from the open door. She lands on the table ignoring the hawk as it eats.

"What is it?"

"He's- he's caught in a trap! One of the hunters set a trap in the forest! He's trapped in it! You have to help him." I was known in the forest as the girl that helped the animals when one was injured or in trouble they would come to me for help if there was something I could do.

"Who is it?" I ask.

"It's a wolf! He looks like he's in a lot of pain too."

"Ok Speck show me." I allowed the Gold feather to stay and finish his meal, grabbing a pack I have ready for this sort of situation I head out with Speck leading the way. The forest is dense but going in with Bāchan when I was younger I learned how to navigate through it. Speck leads me through the forest stopping on a tree or bush to make sure I'm still following. Other animals soon follow after me as we head deeper into the forest. A fox soon comes up to me along with a bear cub. Two friends I've known for a long time.

"This way Reisaki." The fox says. They lead the way heading for a clearing. The wolf the informed me about was sitting there struggling to break free from a rope tied to an anchor about three feet away. Looking at the rope burn he's been going at it for a wile trying to break free. Blood stains his fur on his hind leg and looking more closely at it there's a gash on it. It suddenly dawns on me that it's the same wolf that was injured from earlier back in the town.

Poor thing he must get into a lot of trouble every now and again.

I walk over as he takes a break from pulling on its leg any more. A twig snaps as I walk over to him making him look up at me. His ears go back as he tries to put on a brave face showing his teeth and making his fur stand on end. It's clear though especially when I stare into his brown eyes that he's scared more than anything else. I give a reassuring smile hoping to get him to calm down,

"Y-you stay away from me!" he snarls

"It's ok. I'm not going to hurt you." I take a step forward,

"I-I mean it! Stay… stay back!"

His fur and the wound on his leg…it's the same one from before. He isn't going to trust me if try getting closer; he'll keep getting more panicked if I do.

-Sigh- his ears prick up s I sit down. The fox named dark par and the bear cub Fuzzy claw come and sit next to me along with other finding a place to sit. Two chipmunks find my lap to be comfortable while Speck and a few other birds come to rest on my shoulders and head. The wolf's fur finally rests back on his body comfortably as he watches.

"Can…can you understand me?" I look at the young wolf and smile.

"Yes that's right. Is that ok?"

"Well it's just… I didn't think any human could understand us."

"hmm…?"

"You're the first human I've seen come into this forest by themselves. What are you doing out here anyway?"

seems as though his curiosity has been sparked now.

"Speck here told me you were in trouble. So I came out here to give a hand." His eyes widen, "Something wrong?"

"Your that girl that we hear about helping the animals in the forest then? The others and I hear about you helping the animals when they're hurt or in trouble no matter how scary it is." I can't help but giggle,

"My have I become that popular?"

"Yes!"

"Now you said we just a moment ago…are you talking about your pack?"

"Yeah, there're six of us in all."

"Six huh? That's a nice even number."

"I'm the youngest out of all of them."

He seems to have calm down enough…maybe now he'll let me help him.

"Say do you mind telling me your name?" I ask still petting the chipmunks in my lap.

"I…I don't know if the others would like me saying anything else."

" Well how bout I tell you my name first. Then you can tell me yours. Will that work?"

"…I guess so."

"I'm Reisaki." He just stared at me for a moment or two before he answers,

"I'm Thomas…" what did he just say? "Wh-what's with that look on your face?"

"I'm sorry I just have never heard of an animal of any kind with that kind of name. That's a human name."

"Oh well…that's my name so I can't really change it."

How strange he has a human name…was he raised in captivity and then release in the wild? Well I can worry about that later.

"Listen Thomas I saw you and your pack mate escape earlier today in the village-"

"It wasn't my idea! He made me come along even though he knew we weren't supposed to go there!"

"No that's alright I'm not going to scold you or anything like that Thomas."

"You're not?"

"No of course not; although you should be more careful not all humans are like me. try not to be so obvious about it next time." I laugh.

"Oh…um ok."

"What I was going to say is that wound on your leg actually looks worse than what I though it was and the fact that it's the same leg you've been pulling on for a while now it may have opened up even more."

"Well, Russell said he was going to go get the others to help me get out of here but that was a while a ago. I've been trying to get out of here myself."

"Russell…? Is that the name of the wolf you were with today?"

"Yes it is." Hmm…I wonder if he was raised in captivity too.

"listen Thomas I can get that rope off your leg but if I do you need to let me take a look at the wound ok?"

"What?! N-no! The others are coming to help me; I don't need help from a human. Even if you are nice to us animals! I've already said too much anyway! The others will probably get mad at me for telling you what I already have along with going to the village today!"

"But Thomas if you keep pulling with that leg trying to break free you may end up breaking your leg instead along with causing the wound to open even more…you'll just end up getting hurt even more than you already are." I'm sure my expression is giving away the concern I have for him. "Please Thomas I just want to help… I promise I won't do anything to hurt you. I don't want to see you get hurt even further." His ears go back as he thinks about it.

"You promise you won't do anything else but take a look at it."

"I promise." He sits calmly yet looks at me with nervous eyes.

"Ok…" the animals move out of the way to allow me to move again. I remove my pack and rummage through it to find a knife that I can use to cut the rope. Hearing a shy whine I look over at Thomas

"Oh no don't worry! This is just to cut the rope from the trap so I don't yank on your leg trying to get the rope off. I promise."

"O-Ok…" I walk over, kneel down and pick up the rope. At the same time I can feel Thomas' gaze on me staring intently. Looking at him, I smile and pet him behind the ear with my free hand.

"Trust me… ok?" he still stares but his body seems to relax a little bit more than he was before. The rope cuts easily with a flick of the wrist and immediately I set the knife down so not to scare him any more. I take a look to see how the rope is wrapped around his hind leg before even messing with it. It turns out to be an easy fix. It doesn't take me but a minute to get rid of the rope around his leg. other than a bad rope burn it didn't do too much damage.

"Thank you very much." Thomas says.

"Its fine… the rope burn shouldn't be any problem but the gash on your leg has me worried. You must have been pulling very hard weren't you? It's even deeper than what I thought."

"Is it?"

"Yes I'm not going to be able to take care of this here… you'll have to come home with me to let me fix it up."

"WH-WHAT?! No, no, no! I can't do that! They'll definitely get mad at me if I do that!"

"But you can barely even stand on that leg as is; look at yourself Thomas!" he's not even standing on it; let alone putting any weight on it.

"It's fine I can walk. See?" as soon as he sets his leg down on the ground he recoils with a terrible yelp of pain.

"You see Thomas, it's not fine at all! Please I promise I won't do anything to hurt you. But you need to come with me so I can take care of you." I've never met an animal this stubborn before… sheesh..

"But how can I even go with you? I can't even walk on my hind leg…and the others…they'll think something happened. They're expecting for me to be here when they show up."

"Is that what you're worried about? Your pack mates?"

"Yes! They'll think something happened to me if I'm not here! By the time we leave they'll have showed up!"

-sigh- "Alright then we can wait for them if you want so that way they know you're safe. Will that be ok?"

"Huh?"

"After words though you need to come with me so I can fix that leg properly ok?" I wink at him and smile.

"Miss Reisaki…"

"For now though…" I reach in my bag and grab a few medical supplies "at least let me bandage it up so insects cant get to it."

"You're so nice miss Reisaki…"

I start walking over to Thomas to help bandage him up when one of the bushes rustle without the help of wind. There's growling from all over sending the other animals running. I swallow hard.

"Um… Thomas is that you making that noise."

"No. Miss Reisaki you should run. It sounds like they're really mad right now even Christopher sounds mad and that's a hard thing to do…"

"You mean it's your pack…?"

"Miss Reisaki run now!" I try to run for the path I cam from but a dark black wolf jumps out from that area cutting me off. What the- an eye patch on his eye? The eye that isn't covered is a yellowish brown color and it's staring at me with a cold glare. Four other wolves come out and surround me too all angry and ready to attack me. My mind goes blank from hearing all the growls and I drop all the items in my hand. I trip on a branch and land on my back looking a brown haired wolf in the face, its eyes are a cold faded brown color. I turn to my side and curl into a ball trying to cover myself as best I can. "Wait stop it you guys!" something furry stands over me and I look to see Thomas protecting me looking straight at the brown furred wolf. "Don't hurt her; she helped! She was only helping me Captain!"

"Thomas…? I thought you were caught in a trap." The one named Captain said.

"I was! Miss Reisaki- she cut the rope and was just looking after me. All she was doing was trying to tend to my leg."

"And after that?" another asks that turns out to be the blonde furred one from earlier in town.

"She said she would take me back to her home- but only to tend to my leg properly!" the growls all stop as they listen to Thomas. "Captain she can understand us; even right now she can hear what we're saying. She's the girl we've heard about from the other animals in the forest, you know the one who comes to help the ones that are hurt and in trouble." Captain comes down to my level and stares at me curiously,

"Is that true woman; can you understand us?" all I'm able to manage is a nod. He looks up at Thomas, "This is why we shouldn't go into the village; something worse could have happened."

"B-But it was Russell's idea to go hunting for meat in the village!"

"Hey you little snitch don't say anything else!" the blonde says.

"Why am I not surprised?" There's a whitish black wolf that shakes his head as if he was used to such antics. He looks at me with kind dark brown eyes, "sorry for the scare; we thought you were a hunter they way Russell was going on about Thomas being trapped and all. Are you alright?"

"I…yes I am." Thomas allows me to sit up. "Um I don't want to hurt him and you're welcome to come along if you want to watch and make sure he's ok; but Thomas' leg is pretty messed up right now. I think it even may need stitches. If it's not taken care of there's a good possibility it could become infected. My home isn't too far from here." I turn to Captain seeing as how it looks as though he's the alpha of the group. "Um…if it's alright, Captain, at least until his leg is all better would it be alright if he stayed with me at my place?" he gives a big toothy grin laughing

"Actually my name is Morgan, that's just something they all call me." oh… "You really think his leg is that bad?" I nod with a serious look. "Alright then we'll stay with you until his leg is better. But we're not house dogs…Reisaki was it?"

"Oh no don't worry. I have no intention of keeping you as pets. I'll even leave the door open so you can come and go as you please."

"We're really going to trust her?" I look at a dark blonde furred wolf who stares at me with a blank expression framed with brown eyes.

"I agree with Nathan…Captain you should reconsider." The eye patch wolf says looking at me coldly.

"Well even if I didn't we don't really have a choice; we can't just leave Thomas the way he is and she's offering to help. Beside I think we can trust what the animals say about her and I think that's proof enough she can be trusted." Speck came back at one point during the conversation and rested on my shoulder allowing me to pet her.

"Oh yes! You can definitely trust Reisaki. She's really nice to us animals." She vouches for me. With that there are no more objections.

"Alright then… so Reisaki where do you live?" Morgan asks me. I look at Thomas thinking he shouldn't walk on it. He seems like he'd be light enough for me to carry.

I reach over and pet him before carefully picking him up allowing his leg to hang comfortably.

"M-miss Reisaki I can walk!"

"No it's fine Thomas. You need to stay off that leg." I turn to the others "This way."
