Chapter 2: Truth and Consequences
A/N: Whoa back to the werewolves, who would have thunk it! I'm getting back to other things as well with a couple little one shots on the way…so look out for them!
"S-Sonoko, if you keep doing that I'm…."
Kaito was feeling slightly uncomfortable, he had a girl that he's known a whole DAY snuggling him in her sleep, making noises that probably shouldn't be allowed in her sleep, making Kaito want to do things that shouldn't be allowed either. He groaned.
"Sonoko, wake up…" he moaned.
"Don't wanna, you're warm." She murmured to him in her sleep.
Oh no, it's her, she's my lover, my mate that I've been waiting for, the entire year I've been waiting for someone to come around, I never expected it to be…
Kaito was suddenly on his back, roughly pushed back by Sonoko. "Morning sleeping beauty." He said softly with a grin to rival all.
Sonoko's eyes were dilated to where there was almost no color was left in them. "Why is this happening to me?" she asked suddenly. "Why the hell am I attracted to you? I've known you for a whole day…" she said pinning his arms above his head.
"Because I'm handsome, loveable, and other fantastic things?" he asked with a grin.
"Kaito, I'm serious, why?" she asked before nibbling at his neck a little bit.
Kaito groaned out, "Sonoko, don't…"
"I can't stop, why can't I stop?" she sobbed.
"Stop, stop so I can explain…" he moaned.
Sonoko's eyes widened as she let go of him, she sat back, tears still rolling down her face.
"Most times people don't find their mates forever." He started. "They would be like Heiji and Kazuha, they spent their entire time as werewolves trying to figure out why they were attracted to each other…"
"Hold on, Hattori is a werewolf?"
"You know him then?" he said softly grinning.
"Course I know him, now get back to the story."
"According to Uncle Yusaku, your mate is the one person who can keep you sane during the changing process, or someone who could be with unconditionally. They don't have to be werewolves, Aunt Yukiko is a prime example…Most times it takes a few months, it's very rare that the mates show up immediately." He said looking at Sonoko, his eyes widened, she was rocking.
"But it's only been a day."
"That doesn't matter." Kaito whispered. "Do you have any idea how long I've waited for you?"
"For…me?"
"Sonoko, I've been waiting for the person who turned out to be my mate for the entire year, the ENTIRE year…I just didn't expect it to come so fast." He said, looking at her with a fond look in his eyes.
"Still doesn't explain how I managed to become this 'mate' of yours. Don't get me wrong, god knows you're attractive.." (Kaito beamed a little at this) "and apparently you're extremely versatile in things that shouldn't be possible, you know like unlocking cages in dog form…"
"Wolf, we're wolves…" Kaito said as Sonoko looked at him, the aqua color returning to her eyes, the color her eyes should be, the eyes that Kaito liked. "Well it was told that once the mate is found, that's the one, the one person, wolf, which ever that they are supposed to be with for all time. It sounds kinda corny, for all it's worth but I'm glad that we found each other."
Sonoko was in shock, it's only been a day and this Shinichi clone, this intelligent, playful, adorable, Shinichi-clone was turning her to the dark side. She wanted to do wicked horrible things to him, and she didn't know why. She just wanted to be with him so much. "I don't understand it, I don't understand it at all, but I will try." She said softly.
"Good, now I smell close to raw steak, and if I didn't know any better there's some eggs and possible bacon in there too. Frankly, I'm starving."
"That's weird, I smell more sausage than bacon….oh well I'm starving too so lets go and get some food, you know before Shinichi decides to wonder."
"Ah, Shin-chan will be fine, he came in this morning to check if we were here."
"You call your cousin…Shin-chan?"
"Don't you have family that you use embarrassing nicknames with?"
"Not so much no…" she said smiling as she groaned getting up. A bunch of pops and creaks happened as she did so. "Ow…."
"Don't worry that happens a lot in the first few transformations, you get used to it after a while." Kaito said already standing up.
"Oh, this is going to be a fun, fun, rest of my life." Sonoko sighed as she left the cage.
"I was wondering what was taking the love birds so damn long. We have visitors." Shinichi said with a grin.
Sonoko looked down but Kaito just playfully grinned.
"So, Kaito's finally found his mate huh?" a male's voice came from behind him as
Kaito's grin suddenly widened
"Uncle Yusaku!" he pulled him into a hug.
"You smell like a girl, get off!" he said playfully.
"K-kudo-san…" she looks down again blushing, more than she had before. She had just figured out that this man's nephew was her mate, whatever the hell that was, even though she had a very CLEAR idea when she woke up pinning Kaito to the floor.
"Sonoko." He said looking down on her.
Quit staring at me, quit staring at me, for the love of god PLEASE stop staring at me.
Sonoko looked up completely red-faced, nobody's ever seen her this red, at least on purpose.
"You're fine Sonoko, he's just messing with you." Shinichi and Kaito said in unison.
Suddenly, Yusaku had food in front of the two of them. And it looked like they would attack it with their faces instead of proper utensils. They were both right, extremely rare steak, sausage, bacon, and eggs were piled on the plate.
The two ate in silence as Yusaku watched them. "Shinichi told me that you came last night Sonoko."
"I was scared and Shinichi was the only one I could think of that has been through it, or at least I thought it was….until I met Kaito."
"Who looks exactly like Shinichi from a distance, I guess that makes sense." Yusaku said with a grin.
"I was scared, Kaito let me out, we ran, and I woke up in a field with a naked boy next to me, needless to say I was a little shocked."
"Couldn't remember anything from the night before at all?"
"Not until he told me, and needless to say it was a bit…."
"Off-putting?"
"To say the least." She said putting a piece of sausage in her mouth.
"Oi, Kudou! Rumor has it you have a new houseguest!" came another voice that Sonoko knew as Hattori Heiji.
"Ran tell you about Sonoko then?"
"She was very excited to hear your cousin has a mate finally to say the least…" Kazuha answered from behind him.
"Coming from the two that spent their entire time as weres figuring out that they were indeed lovers themselves, I find it kind of hypocri…." Suddenly there was a whap upside Kaito's head.
"Be nice!" Shinichi said from behind him almost sounding snarl-like.
"I'm not sorry, it's true though!" Kaito said softly rubbing the back of his head.
"Would you two like some breakfast? I figured I'd make something for Kaito and Sonoko when they woke up." Yusaku said.
"We'd love something…Mouri-san forgot we were in the spare room and practically kicked us out the minute he remembered from his drunken haze." Kazuha said with a bit of a grin.
"Have a seat, I'll put together some plates. Besides, it's not Kogoro's fault that his ex-wife was a wolf-keeper!" Yusaku said smiling, putting a bunch of foods on a plate for them and set them down.
"What do you mean was? Isn't she still?" Sonoko said softly.
"Once the first son or daughter in the family is born, the rights move from the initial keeper to them. It's to keep the line going after the rest of the family is gone…Shinichi's the seventh in a line, Yukiko was so excited when she could give it up…even though she fell in love with her wolf in question." He said playfully.
With that comment….all five of the teenagers in the room sweatdropped and went back to their food…
Yeah, I know, corny ass ending to a chapter right? Though it did explain a few things, and it introduced a few characters into the fray that weren't there before, I still feel as if it were a little rushed. So please R&R let me know what you think of this fic and my several others on my profile, currently working on a new chapter for ITWIFLTD and a couple request one-shots!
