The Wolf that Fell in Love With Little Red Riding Hood

Me: Okay listen up! I'm soooo sorry for soo many late updates! I've had school lately and, I'm just so sorry. I got so much homework. So I thought I'd write this fanfic based on one of my favourite songs.

Killua: Is it about me this time?

Me: (smirk) isn't it always?

Killua: Fine, I'll go into position.

Me: You're really into this aren't you?

Killua: Sh-shut up! I hate you!

Me: Yeah, what if I told you I was your long lost sister?

Killua: What the f…

Me: I'm joking. Don't swear!

Killua: lookalike5516 doesn't own HunterxHunter or any of its characters. She doesn't own the song The Wolf That Fell In Love With Little Red Riding Hood either.

Me: Only my OC's. Enjoy!

Killua's POV

Cool? Sweet? Hungry? Overall, BORING! Gyassh! I hate it, it's so boring. I'm just resting against a tree, watching the forest around me. I'm hungry and there's not a sign of food for miles. I would kill something right now, but there's nothing to kill. You see, I'm not your average human boy, but… I'm a wolf. Well, werewolf might be the correct term, but what the heck. I have these two fluffy ears in my hair that always for some reason attract flees. Not to mention they're irritating. I even have this bushy tail. Okay, it's not that bushy I guess. I have to always wear a singlet and shorts since being a wolf means you get hot easily. I hate being a wolf. Really, I do.

I groan in the most irritating way. "The next thing that that passes that road, is dead." I muttered.

Akko's POV

I'm sitting in my mum's kitchen in our little cottage just by the stream and the orchid. Mama is baking apple tarts, cookies, and other confectionary for obaa-san who lives beyond the clearing and alone. No one stays with her and when she's sick, it is most troublesome. Mama is kinda weak herself, so she send me out to deliver the food necessary. Obaa-san enjoys confectionary nearly as much as I do, but she also gets better from sickness thanks to it too.

Once I hear the rustling of the basket my mother is putting together, I grab my blood red hood from the coat hanger and slide it of my head. I tuck my blonde hair into the hoodie and bounce into the kitchen.

I should tell you a bit about myself. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. Papa used to say it was because I lived by the river that my eyes are of its colour… I am twelve years old and still growing. I love the colour blood red and got my hood for my tenth birthday when I was finally allowed to pass through the clearing.

But, besides all those things, I am easily frightened. Not to mention weak, unreliable and shy. Papa says that makes me special, but all I think is it makes me a crybaby.

Mama handed me my basket and I trotted out the cottage door. I was positive I would make it through the clearing this time. Every other time, I'd take a long way to obaa's cottage and skip the clearing.

I heard of a short cut, but it's infested with monsters that are heartless. But what frightened me the most was the wolf that lived on the path. People in the village say that the wolf will kill you without a second though, that he is just as heartless as the devil. Those stories keep me from taking the short cut, but, I have to do it. For Obaa's sake. If I make a wrong turn, I'm dead.

So, I trot to the clearing's entrance. Then, I see two signs. I am completely confused. Why put two signs judging right or wrong.

I stare at the two signs that both point in a direction. The signs were rigid, covered in moss, and above all, confusing.

One wrote, wrong way which pointed to the left, and the other wrote right way, which pointed in the right.

I didn't know which to pick. I hesitated. The right way is obviously the short cut, but do I want to run into the wolf? I don't think so. In the end, I deliberately took the wrong way. What lies ahead, one thing's for sure. It definitely isn't the wolf.

Killua's POV

I yawn and smack my lips against one another. I may be waiting a few hours for someone to pass by. For someone to kill. Really, truthfully, I dislike killing people. But how's a wolf supposed to eat? I can't just walk into town and ask for a big leg of ham, or a large steak. I'm a wolf, my purpose is to kill, to be the villain. Life is never fair to those who try.

I was just about to drift off to a world where I can be human, and where I don't have to kill, but I hear the snap of a twig, which makes me scramble to my feet. I'm still hidden by a tree, where I see a red speck in the clearing.

I mouth the word what. I know I was planning on killing the next person who entered, but only some sick idiot would enter the wolf's territory. I shrug.

"Brave. But they're not going to live to tell the tale." I mutter.

I scrape my nails against the bark of my tree. I sharpen them, waiting for the person to show up. Once I saw their face, my plan evaporated. My gaze was caught by her. She had silky looking blonde hair and the prettiest blue eyes. Of course, I haven't seen a single human down here before, especially a girl. But something tells me this girl right here is something special. Something… different.

I swing around to face the back of me. Maybe I should stick behind here a little longer. Her red hood has just passed by. But once she was out of sight from my vision, I heard a thud. I quickly shut my eyes, thinking of what pain it is. But, after reopening my eyes slowly, I heard her voice sighing.

"What am I supposed to do with myself?" she sighed.

I held my ear to the tree, when I looked down to see a red crisp apple at my feet. I bend down slowly and pick up the apple. I sniffed the sweet thing, but it doesn't exactly suit my taste. I thought I might as well return it, if I'm not going to eat it.

I swung around silently without her noticing. Her back was to me, but I didn't mind. I tapped her shoulder and she flinched, backing herself up against a tree. I giggle. She was quite amusing. "Wh-who are you?" she stuttered, looking at the back of her to see if there was an exit.

I smiled gently. I didn't move any closer to her. Instead, I held out the apple. My smile was soft and I grinned. She seemed to calm down a bit. I watched her stand back up and reach out to grab the apple. Her cheeks were tainted with a red shading.

"Thanks." She stuttered, backing away.

My eyes were locked on her's. I wonder if she could see right through me. Everything I knew, all the questions I wanted to ask, but I could only manage a few words.

"You have some red thing in your cheeks." I say.

She quickly covered her cheeks and backed against the tree. "What do you want from me?" she asked.

I couldn't help but smile.

"I wanna know more about you!" was what I wanted to say, but the words never came out.

"Are you in a hurry?"

She shook her head. "But I should get going."

I felt something stab my chest. Ouch! Is this denial? It can't be a knife, she wasn't armed.

"Oh, ok." I muttered.

She looked up from where she was. She stared straight into my eyes. "Maybe I'll stay for a bit." She muttered.

Akko's POV

I have to say something. There was something about this wolf that makes my heart skip several beats. He was abnormal, and he was nothing like the stories say. I tilted my head to the side, and he followed. I giggled. He blushed. I couldn't help but stare lovingly at him. I wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out right. My basket in my arm and my hoodie off, I could see him more clearly. His plush ears seemed so soft and his tail was just so… KAWAII! I walked up to him.

"Have you lived here all your life alone?" I asked.

He nodded. "Pretty much. It gets boring."

I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. I wanted to know more, but was the way of life… keeping us apart? Is that why I never took this path? Is it why I can't manage any words? Is it because we're….

"The wolf and little red riding hood?" the two of us voiced in unison.

I stared straight into his eyes. They were pale. So… so lonely.

His hair was messy and a silver. I thought it was new. Something different. Compared to all the boys in the village I thought I so helplessly fell in love with, he was something special. I think I really, truly love him.

I sighed. He stepped closer. I made another step even closer. The two of us walked closer and closer. Step by step. Just until, we were just centimetres apart. I could feel his heavy breathing and my warm breath would've reached him. He smiled warmly. I held out my hand and he held out his. Just as our palms were about to touch, they stopped a millimetre from each other. We looked at our palms. We smiled. I guess fate and the universe had its way today. But that doesn't matter. I backed away from him, smiling. "I have to go now." I said, walking away, but something was pulling me back. I didn't want to leave.

He waved, smiling softly. "I guess I'll see you soon?" he asked.

I smiled and nodded. "Because I'm weak! And I'm unreliable!" I said, choking on my tears.

He smiled back. "And I'm sly! And awkward!"

We both smiled at one another, before our encounter comes to an end.

Killua and Akko's POV

We sighed as we walked in opposite directions... "Why do we have to be the wolf and little red riding hood….?"

Me: Okay, once again, I am crazy sorry for the late update. I really mean it. It's school. I plan on updating all my stories when I have the time. Please don't think I'm lazy or anything. Thanks for your appreciation. I don't own the beautiful song this story is based on. Sorry if the pace is way too fast and this story is like a love at first sight fic. Plz, constructive criticism is allowed, no flaming. R&R!
