Zypher: I thank you all for reviewing. Like I said in the last chapter, since this story may turn out to be shorter than the others unless you give me some suggestions for new chapters, I'll work on this a little more but I will post up others chapter if I get working on them in between this story. But as always, thanks for reading and here's the next chapter for you.

Little Red Riding Hood

Chapter 2

Yami continued onto his way toward Yugi's grandfather home but stopped when he reached the house. The door was hanging off the hinges and it seemed there was a struggle inside the partially open door. He walked over and inside, looking around before picking up the faint scent of blood. He followed it to Sugoroku's room and saw that blood splattered across the walls and bed.

'Looks like someone got here before me but who could possibly done it?' Yami thought as he sniffed around again and finally picked up a faint trace of a wolf's scent. 'There was another wolf here but I can tell it wasn't Aqua. He never leaves the den much unless it's to hunt. Can there possibly another wolf around?' he thought once more before leaving out the room and the house.

'I can't let Yugi know his grandfather is gone. He may think I'm the one that took him away and possibly killed him.' he thought once more before leaving, running through the path that Yugi was taking.

Yugi continued to walk to his grandfather's, unaware of who was watching. Another wolf, the same one that killed his grandfather, watched him with hunger showing in his olive-colored eyes. He was about to walk out if he didn't sniff out Yami coming. He growled and ran off before he could be found. Yugi heard the growl and stopped, looking around. Yami finally showed up and barked, catching Yugi's attention. He looked towards him and was about to back away from him but saw the wolf wasn't attacking.

'Could this be the wolf Yami was telling me about?' Yugi wondered. Yami barked again and walked over to him, pushing him back. "What are you doing? I must get to my grandfather's." Yugi said but Yami shook his head, wishing he could speak to him but he didn't want to reveal to Yugi just yet that he was a werewolf. He barked again and tried to motion with the best of his abilities that his grandfather was dead. Yugi watched him before speaking. "What are you trying to tell me?" he asked, now fearing the worse.

Yami sighed before tugging Yugi onto his back and ran off toward his grandfather's house, hating to show him what happened but he rather be there for him when he does find out if he didn't went for him.

When they finally reached the house, Yugi looked to the door and saw claw marks as he got off Yami's back. He ran up to the door and touched the claw marks silently before going inside. Yami followed quietly and saw Yugi down on his knees, the basket of medicine and food beside him. "What happened? Who could've done this?" Yugi whispered. Yami walked over to him and nuzzled him lightly, barking softly. Yugi looked up to him before thinking something. "Do you think, a wolf could've done this? Another wolf other than you?" Yugi asked and he nodded.

"Do you think that it could possibly be the other wolf that was rumored to be in this forest as well?" he asked again and Yami shook his head quickly. Yami knew Aqua wouldn't go so low as to hurt someone if and only if there wasn't something he could catch easily from the forest. "Then, that might mean there's a third wolf in the forest. I must go and warn the town to watch out for this other wolf." Yugi said as he got up once more.

He was about to leave when Yami tugged on his cloak. He whimpered softly and Yugi stroked his head. "Sorry, but I must go. It's getting close to dusk anyway so I need to get home. Maybe I'll come back through the forest to see you one day." Yugi said and Yami nodded.

Yugi pat his head once more and giving him some food, which he ate gratefully, he left his grandfather's home. Yami watched him go before he shifted into a human. 'I need to find that wolf. Whoever it was, he will put everyone in danger and with danger will make the town mark the forest off limits and I will never see Yugi again.' Yami thought as he started to travel through the forest for any sign of another wolf.

Yugi finally made it back home and his mom was waiting for him. "Ah, Yugi. You finally got back. What took you so long?" His mother asked. "Sorry mom, but something happened when I got over to grandfather's today." Yugi said softly. She walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Why? What happened?" He was quiet for a while before speaking.

"A wolf got into his house and killed him. I know you told me to not talk to strangers but a man that was at the crosswalks told me about the wolves that were in the forest and I don't believe them to be the ones to attack grandpa." Yugi said. "Yugi, even if that man said that, one of those wolves could've attack your grandfather. Those were the only two wolves that people in town said they have seen and they would have to be dangerous if not many people came back after a trip there. Those that make it are lucky to be alive with minor wounds." she said.

Yugi sighed and nodded, not wanting to tell his mom about when he did meet a wolf. 'I wish she would believe me. I would have to show her to make her believe me.' he thought. "Well, I better get to bed since I do have school tomorrow." Yugi said as he placed the red cloak on a hook and gave the basket to his mother. "Ok, Yugi. Goodnight." she said and he nodded before heading upstairs.

Yami had no luck with finding another wolf in the forest so he decided to head back to the den where Aqua was and told him about Yugi. "I never met such a beautiful person coming across the path in many centuries, Aqua. You should see him for yourself." Yami said as he sat beside him. "Really, when did you meet him?" Aqua asked. He was the only know dragon werewolf to be living in this time, most of his kind being killed off in the great hunt years ago.

"I met him when I was looking for something to eat. I was going to go after that old man last night but my instincts held me back and I'm glad for it. Anyway, I found some bunnies around and was going after them when I heard his sweet voice. I couldn't help but find who it was. And when I saw him, I knew holding off my hunger before was a good thing." Yami said.

"Hmm, he does sound wonderful. Do you think he may come back through the forest? I would like to meet him myself." Aqua asked. "Maybe not but I have another plan in mind and that's to go after the person that has been hurting him. I thought I would never hear someone harming such a person after seeing him but I was wrong and I hate that boy with passion. He insulted our race by calling us monsters." Yami growled, remembering what Yugi told him of Ushio. Aqua growled as well. "So, what are you going to do about him then?" Aqua asked.

"What I usually do. Lead him here and devour him. Either that or take care of him if I see him hurt Yugi while I'm around. I will not let him have the satisfaction of harming Yugi because of what he thinks." Yami said as he got up. "Would you like to join me?" he asked. Aqua nodded and got up as well.

They both shifted into their wolf forms and ran out from their den, heading into town, following Yugi's faint scent to his home where they would wait for him and follow him to school and back until Ushio shows himself. 'You will pay for hurting him Ushio. I'll make sure your death is quick and painful.' Yami thought as they finally reached the town and waited to make sure no one was out on the streets before they went through the town and towards Yugi's home.

Yugi didn't go to sleep just yet. He still thought about who could've killed his grandfather. 'I know it couldn't be one of the wolves. The one I met was so nice to me and didn't hurt me at all. I really want to tell my mom but then she will forbid me from going near the forest at all if she didn't think about doing so after this.' Yugi thought. He heard something hit his window and got up, walking over and looking outside. He saw Yami waving to him and he waved back before opening the window.

"What are you doing here, Yami?" Yugi asked. "I followed you back home after seeing your grandfather's home in ruin. I hoped to walk you home but you wasn't there when I got there and I thought something may have happened when I saw the claw marks on the door. But I saw you with a black wolf when I came by the path again and knew you were in good hands until you left him." Yami said, deliberately leaving out that he was the wolf in question.

"Really? I didn't hear no one following me when I left my grandfather's. Oh well. What are you going to do then? You can't really stay out in the yard." Yugi said. "I know but I want you to meet a friend of mine real quick before we leave." Yami said as Aqua came out from his hiding place. "Hello, Yugi. Yami has told me a lot about you and I'm very fascinated by your beauty." Aqua whispered, looking up to him.

Yugi blushed softly. "Uh, thank you, I guess. What is your name?" he asked. "I am Aqua. It's nice to make your acquaintance, Yugi." he said. "Likewise. Anyways, you guys better leave now. I don't want my mom to know you're out here seeing me." Yugi said. "Ok Yugi. If we can, we'll accompany you to school tomorrow if you like." Yami said.

Yugi nodded. "That will be nice. Wait for me in the town square and I'll meet you there tomorrow. My school is not far from there." Yugi said. 'Maybe with them by my side, Ushio will leave me alone in the morning but I won't guarantee my safety after school.' he thought sadly. "Ok, we'll meet you there tomorrow. See you then." Yami said as they left. Yugi watched them go before he went back inside and closed the window.

Zypher: Done with this chapter. Normally I had a different idea for this chapter but the power of your reviews changed it. If you want the chapter that I had in mind, say so in your review and I'll write it for you as an bonus chapter either before chapter 3 or at the end of the story. Anyways, review and I'll see you in the next chapter.

Challenge: The challenge will be to guess who the third wolf is based off of. You only have one clue and it's that the wolf has olive eyes. There is, in my view, only one character in the show that has the same eye color. If you can figure out who it is, you can have one of two prizes, a guest one-shot story with an original character, if you have one and your own plot, or an appearance in one chapter to one of my stories that I'm working on. Say which one you would like and tell em your answer. I have a feeling you all may guess right though. Anyways, put in your guesses and in next chapter, whether it's the bonus or third chapter, I will tell who won.
