A/N: Sorry! This would've been done sooner, but a lot has been going on. Oh, one fun little note...I am listening to that song 'I Won't Say I'm in Love' and 'I Can Go The Distance' from Hercules while writing this. xD

Warnings: YAOI, BOYxBOY, Implied MPreg, WEREFIC, also I have changed the POV...I might do what I did in the first chapter and keep switching it if need be though. xD
BEGIN!

Chapter Two

In the middle of their play fight the two boys were interupted. Larxene had come up to them and scooped Hayner up by the scruff of his neck, earning a whine from the pup. Hayner was to big to be lifted all the way off the ground, so his legs dragged on the floor. But Larxene was just trying to get him off Seifer, so it wasn't a big problem.

"Hey squirt, we need to talk. It's time for Xemnas to brief you and the other trainees on the ceremony comming up."

Seifer looked confused and he sat up, rubbing a slightly sore spot on his head. "Ceremony?"

Hayner and Larxene both ignored him, Hayner going to fnd his clothes and change. Seifer waited until he saw the other boy was dressed before following him. He reached a large rock structure with a cave leading inside. Xemnas was sitting in front of the entrance in his wolf form. Sora, Roxas, and Hayner all stood before him as humans. Xemnas noticed Seifer and nodded in approval.

"Seier. Good. You are going to participate in this as well. Come." The boys looked startled, but only Hayner spoke.

"What? He's going to participate? Why?" Hayner sounded slightly angry, but didn't react physically.

Xemnas nodded. "Yes. I have decided it would be a good way for him to show his comitment, and see what he can do. And sence you seem to eager, Hayner, I have decided he will be your partner." Hayner's eyes grew wide with shock. But he knew if he reacted any more than that he would be punished. So he hung his head in acceptance.

Seifer was still extremely confused. "Excuse me Sir, but can you tell me what is going on?" Xemnas looked to Seifer once more and began to speak.

"Each year we have a...competition of sorts for the pups in training. A special ritual."

Before he could go an firther, Seifer raised his hand, as if asking a question in class. He had seen Hayner's behavior and decided it would be bad if he just asked his question. Xemnas blinked and looked confused for a moment before nodding.

"There is one thing I have been wondering. I have known Hayner, Sora, Roxas, and all of the others for years. I've seen them grow up. Why are Hayner, Sora, and Roxas pups in their wolf forms?"

Xemnas seemed to smile a bit. "That is a good question Seifer. You see, this ritual has to do with that fact. The pups are as old as they say they are, definately. But the reason they are still pups in their wolf forms is partly because of the ritual and partly because of their human size. All of these boys are a bit small, don't you think? No offence boys." All of them nodded, showing none was taken. "So their wolf forms are smaller. They will be smaller than some other wolves when they do reach their full size. For example, Zexion. He is only a medium sized wolf, not too much bigger than Hayner, but definately bigger. Zexion was rather small as a pup also, but he grew and is currently at his full size.

The other factor in the size of the pups is the ritual. The competition will show your bravery, strength, and loyalty. There are things you will gain from completeing this. It is very important, but if you do not pass this year, you may be allowed to try again, so do not fret. When pups finish this competition they will go through a ritual to recieve their mark. The mark shows that they are loyal to their pack and are ready to be accepted into our ranks. They will grow to their full size soon after it is recieved. Once they get that mark they will be made into Fighters, Defenders, Hunters, or Omegas. That mark also shows that they are ready to pick their mates."

Seifr took all of this in and accepted it. But he was still a bit confused. "Sir, I have another question."

Xemnas nodded. "Ask your question and I will answer as best as I can."

"Well...I noticed there arn't many females here. And Cloud and Leon said they were Roxas and Sora's parents. How does this work? The mating?"

"Another good question Seifer. Yes, not many female wolves are born into our ranks. But that is alright. Our species is different from wolves in the wild, as you know. So our males are able to have children, but only if they recieve a special mark from their mate." Seifer nodded to show he understood. He wasn't sure how it was possible, but he understood well enough.

"We will begin yur briefing for the competition now. Sora and Roxas are one group, Hayner and Seifer for the other. You four will be brought to another pack's territory in the next few days. There you will get to know the wolves, learn their specific history, hunt prey for them, and complete a series of challenges made by their Alpha. You will be working in your groups. The rest of our park will also be traveling there in a few weeks after you have finished to preform the ceremony for those of you who make it. Clear?"

All four of the boys nodded, looking excited at the thought of the new challange. "Good. Hayner, go find the hunters. They will show Seifer how to hunt. You will acompany them. Dismissed."

Right here is where I stopped to watch Hercules because of the songs. xD
