Controlling Fate

Chapter one

Summary: In this modern day version of the anime series Naruto, the story follows a set of twins by the name of Kasumi and Kei Yukimura, who lived in a small village that was always covered in snow. They were almost identical in appearance. Kasumi had short snow white hair that stopped past her ears and had icy blue eyes and skin seemed to have been kissed by the sun. Her sister Kei had snow white hair that fell to her the top of her butt and her eyes shined like the brightest ocean and she had skin that seemed to have not been touched by the sun. They were born on the night of a crimson moon,or blood moon, and many people suspect that to be the cause for their appearance. This village is cut off from the outside world and located deep in a forest. The people of this village worship dogs and believe the wolves to be on the levels as Gods. This village also has a secret. This wasn't a ordinary village. This was a village of werewolves. And those born on the crimson moon are destined to be vessels of wolf Gods and Goddess. For the God or Goddess that takes possession of the vessel will take complete control and the vessel's spirit seems to disappear. But the twins want to change their fate. So they run away from the village and try to make sure the ritual never happens. The ritual has to be done on their 18th birthday,which is 4 months away, when the moon is full. So they run to a place where it would be hard for them to be found. The Big Apple. There they meet a few colorful characters, even other werewolves and even a few fairies. As they fight to take control of their lives, and also handle falling in love, they have to fight to protect the ones they have come to love from a dark force that has laid dormant for so long and now free. And its looking for a host.


"Come on Kei, we have to get out of here" Kasumi says waiting for her sister to catch up.

"Huff,huff, I'm...coming...just need to catch my breathe" Kei said holding her waist and trying to steady her breathing.

"We can't afford to slow down, we have to be miles away before they find out we're gone" Kasumi said as Kei finally stopped beside her.

"I know I know, but we have been walking since sun down and I know you are as tired as I am right now, your just to stubborn to show it" Kei said after she caught her breathe.

Kasumi frowned and sighed knowing that her twin was right. She was tired, she felt as if her legs would fall out from under her if she took one more step. "Fine, I hear a creek near by, we can rest there for a while and when the sun begins to raise we set off again" Kasumi said. Kei smiled in relief and they walked the little ways to the creek and collapsed heavily onto the ground in exhaustion. They curled up together tightly in the snow, though they didn't need the heat. Being a werewolf had its advantages, like having a high body temperature that kept them warm even when it hit 20 degrees. The girls laid there looking each other in the eyes as they often dims d. Kei smiled at Kasumi and Kasumi smiled back. Then Kasumi leaned in and placed a kiss on Kei's forehead and they both fell into a peaceful sleep.

As the sun began to raise Kasumi opened her eyes and looked at Kei's sleeping face. She had done this so many times, but it still brought a smile to her face watching her sister sleep. Some might think its weird but it felt completely natural. Waking up with the other part of you, knowing that you are complete. Kasumi smiled softly at her sister and started to shake her softly, even though she hated to wake her when she looked so peaceful. "Wake up sis, we have to get going" Kasumi said shaking Kei. Kei slowly opened her eyes,groaning softly,"Ok, i'm up."

Both girls stood up and brushed the snow off and continued walking. "So where are we going anyway,do we even have a destination?"Kei asked. "Not yet, we just need to get somewhere with a lot of people and far away from here" Kasumi said.

"Well if we want to get somewhere far fast we can't keep walking, they'll catch up to us eventually, they defiantly will if they're in their wolf forms" Kei said.

"We could go wolf too, we could cover more ground faster that way" Kasumi said. Kei didn't seem to like that idea. "Come on Kei, I know you do like it, but we have no choice"Kasumi said. Kei sighed, knowing her sister was right. If they didn't want to be caught, they had to change into their wolf. In that form, they were faster then anyone else, they could get pretty far in minutes.

"Fine" was all Kei said.

They stood side by side. They started to summon their wolf forward. They groaned loudly and feel to the ground. Their skin began to peel and tear off. Their teeth began to enlarge. Their limbs started to break and readjust. Their nails grew into claws and their spines stretched. Their screams mingled together as the change continued. Soon there stood two wolves whose fur had them blending into the snow. The only thing standing out were their eyes. They bent down and picked up the bags they had been carrying.

'Ready to go?' Kei asked.

'Yep, lets get going' Kasumi said.

At that both wolves took off in a burst of speed. Both wolves hitting 80 miles per hour as they zoomed through the trees. Both wolves zigzagged through the trees, not slowing down. As they were running a noise caught Kasumi's attention. Kasumi stopped, making Kei stop as well.

'What is it Kasumi?' Kei asked.

'I hear a train a short run that way' Kasumi said jabbing her head to the right. Kei nodded in understanding and they both took off in that direction. In just a short run they made it to the train tracks with a train already shooting by. They ran up to the side of the train and ran beside it until Kasumi found a box car with the door open and jumped inside and was soon followed by Kei. They quickly shifted back and took the cloths they packed and changed.

"So what do we do now?" Kei asked.

"We rest up a bit more while we're on the train and then we hop off in on the first stop and just figure out where to go from there" Kasumi said.

"Ok, but we do need some kind of plan, we need to know what kind of place we need to find" Kei said.

"Well it needs to be heavily populated and it definitely has to be far away from here" Kasumi putting emphasis on far and Kei nodded in agreement.

"What do you think the outside world is like Kasumi?" Kei asked a while later.

"Hmmm, I'm not sure, but I can't wait to find out!"Kasumi said excitedly which made Kei giggle.

"I remember when you would wake me up in the middle of the night and we would sneak out the house to go to the old library and find books about the outside world and we would be there for hours, until sunset, just reading" Kei said with a smile.

"Yeah I remember" Kasumi said smiling back.

"What interested you the most about the outside world?" Kei asked.

"Well from what I read in the books, I liked the food, the fighting, oh and the games they play, they look so cool" Kasumi said.

"You mean the sports? And of course those things would interest you" Kei said.

"Ok, then what do you like about it?" Kasumi asked.

"Well, I liked the history, how things changed through the years and I really like their advanced technology, oh and their many cultures and of course the different people" Kei said "But I am also sad about all the pain and struggles that went in to changing the world to what it is now."

"Well aren't you just a downer, don't think about all that stuff, we got enough pain and struggles of our own..." Kasumi said and things got quite for a second.

"Just sleep Kei, soon we will be safe" Kasumi said pulling her sister close.

"We will never truly be safe, not until its over" Kei said and snuggled up closer the Kasumi. They were quite for a moment, thinking about their situation, then Kasumi kissed Kei on the forehead and together they fell asleep to the rumble of the train.

~Back at the Village~

The sun was raising, light spilling into a room in a small cottage. The male in the room already awake and now watching his mate still sleeping beside him. He chuckles lightly at a the face his mate makes in her sleep and after a few more seconds pass he decided to wake her.

He leans in and kisses her lightly on the lips and smiles when he feels her respond and kisses back in her sleep. He leans back and strokes her hair out of her face. "Yumi my sweet, it is time to wake up" He says.

"Mmmmm...five more minutes" Yumi mutters in her sleep.

The male chuckles and starts to lightly shake her,"No, we both know that five minutes means two hours to you, now get up dear, we have a lot to do" The male says.

Yumi groans and opens one steel blue eye, looking at her mate tiredly,"But Shiki, why do we have do stuff so early?"Yumi whined.

"You know what they say dear, the early bird gets the worm" Shiki said smiling.

"Well the last time I checked we were wolves not worms" Yumi said. Shiki chuckled at his mate and kissed her on the cheek.

"In any case we still need to get up and get the girls ready for the day" Shiki said.

"...Fine" Yumi said reluctantly.

They both rise from their shared bed and begin the day. They do their morning rituals and once done they dress and go to the kitchen. "Honey, why don't you go wake up the girls and i'll see to breakfast" Shiki said.

Yumi nodded and proceeded to down the hall and to the girls room."Wake up girls, time to wa-" Yumi stopped speaking as she opened the door and looked inside. In the room with only one bed was void of any life. The closet door was opened and so were the drawers of the dresser and there were cloths missing. Yumi just stood there stunned.

"Honey, what's wrong?"Shiki asked walking up behind his mate. When she didn't answer he looked into the room and was shocked to see it empty. The shock didn't last long as his fist balled up and he growled in anger. The growl shook Yumi from her shock induced haze and she looked at her mate in fear. "Please honey, calm down, they might of gone exploring like always, there is no reason to be so upset" Yumi said trying frantically to calm her mate. "I don't care what they could be doing, they are to be in their room until we retrieve them and they must not do anything that could make them imperfect vessels, that is the responsibility of the chosen" Shiki said " I will not have them wrong the wolf Gods with their insolence,they shall be punished upon being found." After saying that, Shiki turned and walked away, his mate following behind him.

They began searching for them. They checked the usual places, but they were not there. They looked around the village for hours and as the seconds ticked by Shiki's anger grew. "I swear when I find those two they will be put in the closet" Shiki said. That sent a chill down Yumi's spine,"Oh please Shiki don't, please, can't you give them another punishment."

"They are getting on my last nerve, and so are you, I will not tolerate their actions and if you keep irritating me I will do the same to you" Shiki said coldly.

That shut Yumi up and she just followed behind her mate silently.

"Oh! Hey Mr. and Mrs. Yukimura" Kin said as he walked by.

Kin had earth brown hair that stopped just above his shoulders and had eyes like liquid gold and one of the few people who hang out with the chosen twins.

"Kin! Have you seen the twins?" Shiki asked.

"Now that you mention it, no I haven't, usually I see them about now" Kin said," But I could asked Meguru if he's seen them."

Meguru is another of the people who hang out with the twins. And if fate would have it he was walking towards them and he looked nervous.

"Hey Megs, what's wrong?" Kin asked when Meguru got to them.

"Its just, I show something weird last night on one of my late night walks" Meguru said.

"What?" Kin asked.

Meguru looked at Kin then at the twins parents who were all looking at him waiting for him to speak. "I think I saw the twins leaving the village last night" Meguru said.

"WHAT! If you saw them leave why didn't you try to stop them or tell someone?" Shiki growled angrily.

"I didn't think it was them, I mean, why would they leave the village? They know they are the vessels of the goddess, they have no reason to leave" Meguru said.

"Whether there is a reason or not, they are still gone and it seems they have been gone since last night, and if they were planning on coming back they would have been here by now, so we can only assume that they don't plan on coming back at all" Kin said and sighed.

Hearing this Shiki's anger could no longer be contained, all the anger he had been holding was released in a anger filled howl.

And even so far away and getting farther the twins, in their sleep, both felt a powerful chill shoot down their spin and they both curled closer together unconsciously for comfort.
