The next couple of days went by like that. Ichika would meet up with Houki and Charlotte, they would ask him questions, and he would happily answer them to the best of his abilities. He really was happy that they were so eager to learn more about monsters, and to extent him, but as each day passed he became more and more nervous. He needed to tell Chifuyu who he was. And he had to do it by the end of this week.

He knew that no matter how hard he begged and pleaded, she would never let him go away for more than a day (if that) much less a week unless she knew what he was and why he was going. He also knew that if she did let him go, he couldn't ask last minute. She would have to make up a reasonable excuse for my absence and he would have to take down all the work for that week. So he had no other option but to tell her by the end of this week. But just because he had to, didn't mean wanted too.

He was already such a burden to her as a human, in his eyes. She had to go through the trouble of raising him, which was probably a hassle in and of itself, and she also lost the second Mondo Grosso because of him. To him, he was nothing but a burden to her, though he tried he tried to change that and make himself someone she would be proud to call her brother. That being said, he couldn't see how telling her this would make him any less of problem or her. If anything, it would just make him more of an issue for her. But still, he had to do it for the safety of those around him.

Which only made him more nervous as he walked to his sister's room. He took a deep breath before knocking. After a moment or two of movement from inside but no response he said, "It's me, Ichika."

He didn't have to wait long for her to open the door.

"Hey. What's up?" Chifuyu asked.

"I need to talk to you. May I come in?" He asked. She shrugged and stepped to the side to let him in.

"So what did you want to talk about?"

"You're gonna think I'm crazy when I tell you this but I guess it's best just to come out with it bluntly. I'm a werewolf."

"..."

"..."

"Are you sick or something?"

"No."

"I'm gonna call the school counselor." She said as she picked up her phone, only to have Ichika grab her wrist in an effort to stop her.

"Would you believe me if I showed you?" He said. She cocked a brow at him. What he said was complete and utter nonsense, but he never tried to physically stop her from doing anything before, so she might as well humor him for a moment before calling the school counselor.

"Show me how?"

"...Promise you won't freak out."

"Sure. I promise."

And with that last remark he turned right in front of her. Once again, it only took a few minutes. He could see the shock and horror on her face when he rose to stand on his hind legs. She opened her mouth to speak but was quickly stopped by Ichika.

"Don't freak out." He reminded her, paw-like hands out to his sides and fuzzy elongated ears dropping down like a sad puppy's. Though his eyes all but screamed panic in place of sadness.

"Eh...er...explain."

"Explain what exactly? How I became a werewolf? Why did I tell you now and not sooner? Etc."

"All of it. Explain all of this." She replied gesturing to his lupin body.

"I've always been this. I just didn't want to be any more of a burden to you than I already was, so I kept it secret. But I can't keep it a secret any longer. My heat is coming up. Normally that wouldn't be a problem because I didn't go to an academy like this, so I could afford to leave for a week without any real issue. But I can't do that at this school. Not without your help."

"I thought only bitches went in heat."

"For normal canids yes, but not for werewolves. During heat, I can barely make it three days without becoming a desperate, sex crazed maniac when I'm alone. So I know I won't be able to make it a day in a school full of girls. Meaning that unless I leave school for that week, there is a very strong possibility that I may rape someone. So please. Help me." He begged.

"Fine." She sighed, "I figure something out. But until then you're doing double the work to make up for that week and you are going to answer every question I ask you. Also, go back to your human form. I don't need you shedding all over my room."

"Sure." He said happily, as he hunched over and turned back into said form.

"Does anyone else know?"

"Only Houki and Charlotte, but that's because I had to save them from Hellhounds a few days ago."

"You have so much explaining to do."

For the next two days he was constantly questioned by his sister and two friends as he tried his hardest to complete his increased workload. Said workload did make his other friends suspicious, so he was forced to lie and say that it was mainly just extra credit work since his grades were starting to slip. They were still a bit skeptical that that was all his extra work was, but they believed him none the less.

He was currently in the middle of a questioning/study session. His sister and two friends questioning him and or helping him study, while he tried his best to both answer them and at least create a sizeable dent in the mountain of work he had to finish before he could leave the academy.

He was in the middle of answering another question when he heard the ever so subtle sound of growling in the distance.

"Shh…" He hushed the girls so he could make out the noise more clearly. "Shit." Was all Ichika said before darting out the open window and jumping down window sills like he was a character in Assassin's Creed. The moment his feet touched the ground he was running towards the noise at an inhuman pace, amazing the girls that were still in his dorm room.

"What the hell?!" Chifuyu said, voicing what all three of them were thinking.

After recovering from their brief moment of shock, all three raced after him. Or at least tried too. He was easily going over 30 mile an hour, making keeping up with him pretty much impossible on foot. So they followed where they believed he went all the way to the edge of campus. Hearing a terrifying growl followed by a yelp from behind the bushes when they got there.

When they tried to investigate, they found Ichika in his full lycan form pinning two hell hounds to a tree. Though out of breathe and a bit lightheaded, the girls were able to get a good look at the unearthly beasts.

Thier pale practically hairless, malnourished looking bodies were covered in grey and black veins, as if their blood had been replaced with ink. What hair they did have covered their manes and tails, but it was stringy and a bit scraggly. Circular eyes were a bright red with only black irises and veins breaking up the all but glowing color the orbs proudly showed.

"I thought I told you to stay the hell away from my territory." Ichika growled out, his black fur bristling down his back. The Hellhounds smiled in response, showing their cracked yellow, blood stained teeth.

"Hehehe," One chuckled, sounding like a twisted maniac, "we know you won't stay here forever. You have too big a heart to stay. One day you'll go into heat, and you'll be forced to leave. After all you wouldn't want to hurt anyone right?" It finished, using a mocking tone. A wrong move, as he soon found out.

Ichika's grip on their throat became tighter. They visibly struggled to breathe, making a strangled noise as their large paws gripped at his forearms. Ichika's paws became wet with the beast's unholy blood from where his claws had sunk deeper into their necks.

"Well, that day isn't coming anytime soon," Ichika lied, "and even if I do have to leave, if I ever hear about so much a scare from one of you, I will personally rip off your legs and slit your mouth. I will tear out your tongue and give it to the birds. I'll shred your gut and bash your teeth in before I string you up by your tail so you can feel the life dripping out of you. To put it bluntly, come near my territory and you'll wish you were never born. Am I clear?"

"Crystal." They replied with a weak whimper.

"Good." he said, before tossing them into a tree ten feet away with ease. After falling to the ground with a thump, the creatures ran away as fast they could with tails behind their legs. Ichka stared at them long after they disappeared.

The moonlight made his silver underbelly seem to glow like his golden eyes. Upon further inspection, you could see little flecks of black red and blue in those gilt eyes. With a glance to the side, he finally noticed the girls and quickly changed back to his human form.

In his rush he didn't have time to take off his uniform, thus it was shredded from the sudden change in its wearer's size, though admittedly the Hellhounds might have helped too. His decency was just barely covered by what used to be his pants. His shirt was now scraps, leaving most of his torso bare. Meaning that he was standing there nearly naked, Houki and Charlotte blushing.

"Let's go back." Chifuyu said.
