Chapter 1

It was hard for Luna to believe that it had been a month since she was abducted by the Illuminati. In that time Lightening had come to rely on her and Suguro to sort papers and help him investigate something he called section 13. She had not had a moment to herself since she got back. Lightening was very demanding of his apprentices' time, but after she and Suguro witnessed Lightening go into full torturer mode on a monk accidently killing him she started to push back a little and let Suguro go on missions alone with Lightening while she sorted through the documents looking for information. The day of her change she asked if she could have the night of the full moon off. In response Lightening just waived her away like he had never needed or wanted her help to begin with. Though she was discouraged by that she decided it would be nice to get away from Lightening for a while. Suguro had managed to get the night off too so they decided to try the experiment they had talked about in class a month earlier.

Because Luna was a werewolf that could summon her wolf form whenever she needed too, she wondered as a summoner if her wolf had any elemental properties. She also wanted to see if she could alter her wolf and human form during the full moon by summoning her wolf just before it's rising. She had never tried it before fearing that something awful might happen. Would her wolf just go into the plane of existence she found herself in when she summoned it forth like any other time when she was human? Would it go feral, not recognizing the difference between friend and foe, or an even scarier thought, would she become like the wolf men in those old movies, half man and half wolf? She pushed the thought out of her mind as she and Suguro set up camp in the forest where they had taken their entrance exam for cram school. The clearing they chose was wide open. Suguro pitched the tents while Luna drew barriers so that their experiment wouldn't be disturbed by pesky little demons.

"How much time do we have till the full moon rises?" Suguro asks looking up at the sky.

Luna looks at her phone. "The moon is supposed to start rising at four thirty. So we have an hour and a half." She finishes the last of her wards and walks over to put her belongings in the tent that Suguro had put up for her. "I'm surprised that Professor Light let you have the night off too. He's usually got us running all over Japan in the evenings."

Suguro looks at her sheepishly. "Well… I kind of told him what we were doing."

Luna is furious but she assumes that some of the irritation is her wolf itching to get out. "You did what?!"

He wraps his arm around her shoulder and gives her a noogie. "Don't be mad!"

She pushes him away in protest taking a few steps back.

He grits his teeth at her. "Oh come on! It's the only way I could have made sure that we really would get the night off. Plus he said it could count as extra credit for our summoning class with him."

She grumbles as she pulls out a pair of sweatpants from her bag to change into. "Fine!" She takes a deep breath to calm her anxiety. "I'm going to change quickly and then I'll start a fire. Do you think we have enough firewood or do we need to go collect some more?" She steps into the tent and zips it up to change.

"Maybe." She hears Suguro walk over to the wood pile. "What we have is pretty dry so it will burn fast."

"You're right. That's what I was thinking too." Luna opens her tent and steps out. "We should make it quick though I want to make sure my wolf gets time with you."

Suguro looks at her arching an eyebrow. "Why is that?"

"Um…" Luna fidgets with her hair pulling it back off her shoulders, she then scratches the side of her nose. "Well last time I summoned her to talk about what we were doing she complained that she never gets to spend time with, 'The Master of her Heart'." Luna uses her fingers to accentuate the quotes.

"The Master of her Heart?" Suguro asks.

Luna shrugs her shoulders as she bends down to put her uniform in her bag. "That's what she calls you."

He smiles and his cheeks turn pink. "What do 'you' call me?"

She looks over her shoulder at him. "I call you Ryuji."

He smirks at her teasingly. "You call me Ryuji in public, but what do you call me when you talk to your wolf?"

She tries to hide the redness in her cheeks by turning her head away and running her fingers through her hair. "I refer to you as our boyfriend."

Suguro smiles. "Boyfriend huh." His teasing gets more obvious. "I'm not 'The Master of your Heart' too?"

Luna looks down at the ground her face burning with embarrassment. "I shouldn't have told you that, now you are going to mock us all the time."

Suguro walks over to Luna, taking her hand he flips it over and draws a heart in her palm. "The Master of your wolf's heart, one of your three musketeers, your boyfriend, Ryuji, it doesn't matter what you call me."

Luna lets out a giggle bowing to him. "Yes, Master Ryuji." She laughs again. "God that's so silly." She chastises herself shaking her head back and forth.

Suguro laughs at her. "I'll go get that firewood. You go ahead and start the fire."

Luna grabs his shirt collar and pulls him into a kiss.

This time it's Suguro whose face is beat read. He rubs the back of his neck as he smiles walking away. Holding lightly onto her hand he lets his glide against it. "I have some matches in my bag if you need them."

Luna looks up towards the sun. "Okay, but if you're not back in fifteen minutes I'm sending my wolf out to find you."

He laughs as he heads into the woods his voice fading away. "A game of Otokoyo (Hide and Seek) might be in order."

Luna clears out a spot to burn their firewood and arranges some stones to keep it in one spot. She easily gets the dry kindling started and makes a triangular teepee shape with the wood they had brought with them. In fifteen minutes the fire was going nicely. Luna figured she could summon her wolf and not have to worry about having to tend to the fire. She pulls out a summoning paper pinching it between her index and middle fingers. "As the moon reflects the sun so let me reflect myself."

"Ryu!" Her wolf jumps from her chest and pants happily looking around. After a moment it turns to Luna. "Where's the Master of My Heart? You said he'd be here."

Luna snickers at her wolf. "He's in the woods getting firewood. Should we go find him?"

Her wolf bounces back and forth wagging her tail wildly. "Yes, yes… Let's sniff him out." Her wolf starts off at a dead sprint in the direction that Suguro had exited out of the clearing from. Luna follows closely behind.
