Chapter 1: The Sky Meets the Red Wolf

--X 0 X--

X Sora X

I had always been afraid of wolves. It's because of the stories Ansem the Wise tells us. The sharp teeth they have ready to devour their prey. I don't know why my cousin Roxas likes them, what's to like about flesh eating beasts.

Then again I never thought that these beasts are sometimes more humane than us. My thoughts about wolves change because of her. That night at the forest…

X Normal X

Sora was having a sleep over at Riku's house along with the other boys, Tidus and Wakka. Riku had also invited Roxas along but his mother wouldn't let him. When they got bored they thought of having a little courage test. And the forest was a good place.

"Alright Sora you go in there and come back with the water from the pond." Tidus said handing Sora a bottle.

"Why do I have to go?" Sora whined.

"Because you're the one who drew the short straw remember man." Wakka said.

"Unless you're chicken..." Riku said smirking.

"Am not..." Sora said. "I'm going..." He said entering the forest.

"No cheating Sora, the water has to come from the pond." Tidus said as they watch him disappear from sight.

Sora walked with full alert. He kept on looking around worried that something might come out and attack him. He could see the pond from where he was, when he got there he quickly filled the bottle and was about to leave when he heard a splash of water. He turned around and his eyes widened.

There was a girl dipped in the water her hair was auburn. Sora didn't notice the clothes hanging on the tree earlier because of fear. He slowly stepped back until he stepped on a branch which alerted the girl and turned around and saw Sora.

"Ummm…" Sora said his voice cracking. "Hi there… Sorry I didn't know someone was taking a bath here." He said nervously.

The girl stared at him and screamed, ran to dry land, grabbed her clothes and hid in the trees. Sora turned away his face red from embarrassment.

"I didn't saw anything honest." Sora said.

Sora heard noises from behind the trees.

"Man she probably thinks I'm a peeping tom." Sora thought.

Sora then felt something came out from the trees behind him, he thought it was the girl.

"I'm very sorry about--" Sora was cut from what he was saying when he saw what came out from the trees.

It was growling at him, a wolf. Sora was suppose to be scared from the beast that stood before him but it's appearance made his curiosity rise instead of fear. There in front of him was a red wolf with blue eyes.

"A red wolf with blue eyes…" Sora thought.

Its appearance made Sora wanna pet him, he reached for it but when the wolf barked at him it snapped him out of his thoughts. He backed away.

"Uh, nice doggy…" Sora said.

The wolf stopped for a moment then growled even louder it seems it became angrier.

"Be nice…" Sora said then sprinted off dropping the bottle on the ground.

The wolf ran after him but stopped when he disappeared in the trees. It went back to the pond and saw a bottle lying on the ground.

The bottle was filled with water coming from the pond. It was picked up by the auburn haired girl. She stared at it. She began sniffing it.

"It has his scent." The girl said. "What should I do with it? Maybe I should throw it." She said tossing it in the air.

When she was about to toss the bottle she began to think.

"But what if he comes back for it?" She thought. "Maybe I should give it back."

"Oh well what could I lose." She said and went off following Sora's trail.

Sora made it out of the forest panting. He was exhausted.

"Woah Sora you okay?" Tidus asked.

"What happened man?" Wakka asked.

"Girl… pond… red… wolf… chasing me…" Sora said sweating.

"Sora calm down you're not making sense was that about a girl or a wolf?" Riku asked regretting that he putted up the courage test.

Sora narrated everything he saw at the pond.

"Maybe the girl got eaten by the wolf." Tidus said.

"But what's a girl doing in the forest?" Riku said. "Not to mention taking a bath in there is she committing a suicide?" He said.

"Maybe your just making an excuse since you didn't brought back the bottle." Wakka said.

Then they heard ruffling sound behind the bushes.

"What was that?" Wakka said.

They backed away from the bushes. An auburn haired girl then came out of the bushes carrying a bottle filled with water on her hand. She was wearing a pink dress her feet were bare. The four just stared at her as she dusted off her clothes.

"Is this yours?" She asked waving the bottle.

Sora just nodded. The girl threw the bottle to him and he caught it. She then turned around and was about to enter the forest again.

"Hey… Sorry about what happened." Sora said.

"Forget it…" She said waving her hand in emphasis.

"What happened to the wolf?" Sora asked.

"What wolf?" She asked.

"You know the red wolf with the blue eyes." Sora said.

"Didn't see any…" She said. "What are you doing here anyway?" She asked.

"We should ask you the same thing." Riku said.

"Kairi…" A voice said.

They looked around and saw a white wolf approaching.

"It's a wolf..!" Tidus screamed.

Riku, Wakka and Tidus ran away. Sora was about to leave as well but was worried about the girl.

"What are you doing run!" Sora said.

"Huh..? And why should I…" Was all Kairi as the voice had called said. "And where have you been? What happened to your leg?" She asked looking at the white wolf.

Kairi approached the white wolf and took the paw that was tied with a handkerchief and looked at it. The wolf gave a soft cry as it pulled its paw almost like a person crying.

"Hey that's a wolf." Sora said.

"I can see that and your point?" Kairi asked.

The wolf then ran to the bushes.

"You scared her." Kairi said.

"What shouldn't we be the ones whose suppose to be scared?" Sora said.

"Not all wolves attack people." Kairi said.

"Whose he Kairi..?" A blonde haired girl said peeking from behind a tree.

"A peeping tom…" Kairi said.

"I said I was sorry." Sora said. "I didn't know you were taking a bath." He said.

Naminé was laughing as Kairi was blushing.

"Apology accepted." Kairi said. "Let's go home Naminé." She said.

Naminé nodded and went into the depths of the forest.

"And you should leave this place as well." Kairi said and left. "And don't come out when it's a full moon…" She said.

"Why..?" Sora asked.

"The black wolves, they always come out under the full moon." Kairi said. "They attack not only people but their own kind as well the bastards; there are twelve of them. Be careful and good night." She said and went off.

"Wait!" Sora said and looked at where Kairi had gone but he didn't saw her.

"She runs very fast…" Sora said.

Sora took Kairi's advice and left wondering about a lot of things, like the black wolves she spoke off because unfortunately tomorrow is gonna be a full moon.
