"Damn it to hell!" he snarled biting the chains on his huge paws.
'First the cage, then those fucking blow darts, and now more heavy chains with seals on them'he yelped with the seals started to spark.
He sighed laying down on the dusty stone floors of the small prison with mixed thoughts in his head.
"I have to get back to my pack somehow they need me there to protect them" he looked up out of the only speck of light that came into the room.
The crest shape of the moon made the depts. of the dungeon not look so bad. Ichigo sat down shaking the chains a little trying to make them a little looser for more comfort.
Flashback
A young wolf pup was sitting looking up at the night sky on the grassy hills of a small meadow of the Black Mountain the baby's breath and white daisies blowing in the night breeze. Their petals fluttering all around made the scene more serine.
"I wonder what it's like out there"
"Ichigo what are you doing all the way out here so late?" said a soft voice.
The pup looked behind him spotting a light brown wolf walking toward him. The black pup wagged his tail in excitement running up to the young female.
"Mommy look the moon came out tonight isn't it pretty" he happily hopped up on his hind legs to tell his mother.
She laid down while he son hopped on her back playfully nipped at her ears when they twitched. She giggled at the young pup actions.
"Mommy what's out there beyond the Mountains is that the place where those humans come from?" he asked paws resting on his mothers head when looking at the stars shining in the distance.
"Yes that's right"
Ichigo growled "I don't like humans they destroyed the West packs home across the valley you remember?"
"Yes that maybe true but always remember this Ichigo not all humans are like that there are a lot of very kind humans out there we've never met before"
"Huh?" young Ichigo tilted his head to the side cutely confused at his mother's words
'I don't get?' he thought.
"You figure it out some day"
Ichigo jump off his moms back coming to the front of her rubbing against her warm light brown fur. She licked her pups nose and head tickling him while he played with his mother.
"Never forget this Ichigo"
"Okay I promise" he giggled lying with her paws.
Flashback over
"I'll never forget mom, but after what they did to you I can never forgive these humans as long I live" he said darkly baring his fangs together looking down at the pieces of steel keeping him in place. His eyes shined a more bright yellow making him look more ominous, the black beast opening his jaws champing down into the rough shackles biting through the seals.
"They will pay for what they have done to my kind, to my tribe…….what they have done to you" he whispered softly.
The seals were sparking and sizzling when he put his fangs on the metal, shredding the chains into nothing but scrap metal. He cried out a monstrous howl when seals burned his snout, but he ignored the stinging pain tearing the rest of the shackles to bits.
The two guards watching over the beast were terrified at the sounds they were hearing to afraid to look inside to see what was really going on they kept their distance from the steel prison they kept the animal in.
Ichigo finally ripped the last of the ancient seal off the chains. The only piece of evidence he was even in this place was the spiked collar around his neck. Leaving that on he didn't think it was such a big dealing thinking he'll get rid of it later on. Ichigo licked the fresh blood dripping from his wounds from the seals that were activated.
"Now to get the hell up outta her" he darkly grinned showing his huge canines in the moonlight.
The two guards were wondering what really stopped the beast noise the first one that was closer said he'll take a quick look to see if the wolf was still inside just to make sure. He peak inside not seeing any thing he started to panic opening the door trying to get a better look at their prisoner.
"Where is he? It was here a minute ago?" he thought scratching his head confused.
He looked up not getting a chance to cry out when the 200 pounds of black fur pounced on him biting his shoulder silencing his screams of terror.
He's partner was about to make a run for the nearest exit but got tackled onto the stone floor really hard fracturing his ribs in the process.
Ichigo stepped on his ribs more with his front paw making them crack. The guard was begging for his life to be speared. Ichigo looking at the man in the eyes golden orbs burning with rage and hate showing his fang he growled about to take the finishing blow, he suddenly stopped himself.
"I'll spear your pathetic life for now human, but if you so dare cross my path again your dead you better not spread a word about this to anyone!" he said telepathically inside his head still growling at him.
He nodded bowing low to the ground. Ichigo soon knocked him out cold when running out of the estate quickly making sure not to get caught.
Ichigo ran down the stone path of the garden jumping the wall in one leap racing into the forest at top speed. The wind rushing through his fur he felt exhilarated at finally being free. He heard a splash coming from deep in the trees. He thought it was another human coming to pursue him so he got went to the noise ready to make a surprise attack on his prey.
'I knew I should have killed those basterds when I had the chance' he growled softly. Getting closer to the noise he bent down relaxing his shoulders ready to leap. He peered into the tree branches to see the low life he was about to kill.
'I can't believe that Rangiku actually used up all my hot water for her stupid silk pink scarf' Rukia scrubbed the grim out of her long ebony hair angrily.
'She says it has to soak for 5 hours before removing it from the water yeah that's a load of bull right there' she growled through her fangs.
Ichigo's breath got caught in his throat almost chocking on his own saliva by just getting a glimpse at the petite girl in the river bathing.
His heart fully stopped, damn now he just wanted her even more when he saw what a beauty she was. Her long hair whipped to the side and landed on her back, her petite body curved. Her skin glowed like a sheer white silk under the crest moon, and her blue eyes shined stared intensely at him, in him and even through him.
Another blast of her luscious scent assaulted him, and he just wanted to pounce on her. The way he thought about possessing her in such a way, somewhat startled him for a moment, he had never wanted someone as badly like he wanted her, but when another whiff of her fragrance passed over him, he almost lost his since of control.
When he leaned forward to get a better look he accidentally made a noise that caused her to tense up. So but damn he wasn't that patient! He made a low growl emerge from the back of his throat that sent a ripple of unknown awareness through her body.
When she was trying to rinse off her the suds she heard the twig crack in the trees. She turned around now facing the black beast that finally emerged from the trees know she already knew he was there after the noise he'd just made all her senses were alert.
"Come out right now I know you're in there quit trying to hide!" she growled angrily.
Ichigo smirked to himself knowing the beautiful creature in front of him knew he was there so he came out to give her a more decent 'hello'.
Rukia could bearly keep up when she saw him leaping out the trees and landing a few feet from where she was standing still dripping wet from her bath. The young woman looked at the huge wolf on the other side of the river thinking he'd looked bigger then before up close wonder how in the hell she'd knocked him over the first time.
Ichigo memorized every curve his greedy eyes saw. From her firm but soft long legs, to the curve of her tight curvaceous ass and hips. The tender slopes of her waist spreading gently outward to form her small upper back. Her hair stopped below her tiny nimble waist, curtaining the swell of her lushes' breast from his eyes to see. The rest of her upper back was covered with her raven black strands, that curving outward softly.
Her skin was like porcelain, a light cream color that begged to be lick by him. He wanted to run his fingers through her soggy hair. Wanted to walk right up behind to her and hold her close to his body. To bury his head into her neck and breathe in her sweet scent that he craved to smell. Taste the supple skin just the very thought made him want to run his tongue over his lips in absolute excitement. Ichigo then saw her shaking wondering if he scared from his presence or if she was cold.
"You….you….you pervert!!!" she screeched trying to cover up her lower regions from his prying eyes.
'Huh?' he backed up a bit seeing her murderous glare.
"You followed my scent out her just to get a glimpse of my nude in my other form didn't you…don't lie!!!" she point an accused finger at him.
"What I didn't know you were out her innocent all I heard was some splashing I guess my curiosity got the best of me" Ichigo said ears down to the ground.
Rukia walking out of the river wrapping her towel around her soft body before he got another sneak peek at her body, then looked at the male in front of her with her hands on her hip.
Ichigo stared at her small slim form was illuminated by the big, white crested moon behind her. And he had the need to howl at it and her.
"Hey wait a minute your that idiot that attack my nii-sama today" she said in a annoyed tone.
'What the hell her nii-san, but he's a human!' he thought surmised by this information
"What are you looking for a fight?!" she growl showing her fangs.
"No, no, no, not like that" he started panicking again from her strait forward question.
'Especially not against you' he thought with a fierce blush.
"Then what I want an answer" she crossed her slender arms over her chest waiting for a response.
"He insulted our kind calling them dogs and using them as so sort of tool" he said looking down at the ground.
"Oh sorry about that nii-sama can be pretty harsh sometimes for what he's trying to say" Rukia blushed in embarrassment rubbing the back of her head sheepishly, then looked up at him.
"But that still doesn't give you the right to attack him out of the blue like that!" in his defense.
Ichigo looked up facing her. Their eyes met in a furious clash of ice and fire. Hers control and strong, his wild and dominating. He turned away ears low still too shy to look her strait in the eyes.
"You're really not from around here are you?" she asked putting on her robes while Ichigo was looking away.
"What gave you that idea?" still snout toward the ground.
"Well for starters there's no wolves around this area that can grow about your size, and second no black wolves in this area it's pretty rare, and know you just tried attacking my nii-sama you don't understand the rules they apply here" nodding her head in all-knowing-tone.
"What do all the wolves around here around the same size as you?.....midget" he grinned thinking at her tiny form.
"What did you just say" she said looking down her hair covering her true facial expression.
"I said are all the same size as-" Ichigo got the wind knock out of him making him land on his side.
"I heard what you said you moron!" she got him in a head-lock his black fur brushing in her face.
"Ahhhhh you crazy woman!" he tried shaking her loose not trying to hurt her in any way possible. She held on tight flipping him over with him landing on his back in a way letting him know she was the in charge.
Ichigo grunted from the landing unhurt but was looking into the eyes of the female he longed for.
"Never call me that again got it!" she demanded showing her fangs.
"Alright, alight fine sheesh getting all worked up" he mumbled still on his back
"humfh" she tied up the last of her white silk robe.
"So where are you from?" she said acting like she'd didn't do anything wrong or out of the ordinary. Ichigo was about to answer her question right away but then thought about answering here.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to I'm not forcing you to I was just curious is all" she waved off. She got all her bathing supplies putting them in her travel bag.
"Deep in the Black mountains were my tribe still stays"
"Really the black mountains that's a ways away from here, how'd you get all the way down here?!"
"Hunters tried attacking my pack lucky they didn't take any of my family or friends' lives just captured me in exchange"
"Wow that actually really selfless of you loyal of you" she said in amazement.
"What you thought I'm just some random killer" he chuckled.
"No really I just thought you never do something like that" she smiled to herself.
"Well what do you except I'll do anything to protect my tribe"
"What a minute…..your tribe that means you're the leader of the whole pack"
"hm yeah" not thinking it was such a big deal.
"by the way my names Rukia, Rukia Kuchiki nice to meet yo-" Rukia looked at him tipping her chin with her slim finger.
"What?"
"Just curious at what does your other form look like?"
"I have my pride as a wolf so I'll never be in that form unless it's entirely necessary" he looked away not meeting her gaze.
"Oh come on there's no here that'll see you"
Ichigo looked at the woman with hair as black as onyx, eyes like brilliant shade of a sapphire surrounded by inky black lashes.
He sighed knowing he couldn't deny her request he changed shaped standing up.
Rukia looked up at a tall man about six feet and one inch dressed in black pants and hoodie like jacket with a zipper that has red underneath, about a two hundred and fifty pounds of mostly pure muscle. He's was really well-tone, he has engraved muscle all over his body, but not so much that. What really threw her off was from the mop of orange hair with peach skin and amber eyes.
"You look much easier to approach in this form I don't know why you hide it?" she smiled patting his orange locks. He pushed her head away softly blushing when their fingers touched.
"It's not that I'm ashamed of this form it's just difficult to explain into words"
"So I didn't get your name before?"
"It's Ichigo, Ichigo Kurosaki"
Rukia held her hand over her mouth trying not to burst out laughing but that failed. She rolled around in the soft grass laughing her head off.
"what the hell so funny?!" he growled.
"Your name means strawberry it so cute it makes me laugh!" she giggled whipping stray tears from her eyes.
Ichigo bawled his fist annoyed It means 'he who protects' not strawberry you dwarf! And by the way our name means 'rot wood' anyway!"
Delicate hands curled into fist "so orange haired baka!"
"You midget bitch!" he hissed getting in her face
"Stubborn jackass!" she countered.
They didn't notice how closer they were when they were arguing their foreheads touching each other their lips just a breathes width away from touch one another.
Rukia soon notice when all they stopped to take a breather, she pushed him away a little harder then she was trying to.
Ichigo slipped on the wet dew of the grass sending him plunging into the river in a big splash. Rukia knew she didn't mean to push him into the river it just happened. She leaned over to help the large male up again. Bundt seeing him all wet a soggy with a fish wiggling inside his shirt she couldn't help herself but laugh again.
Ichigo got really fed up at being laughed at the whole night but seeing her like this smiling made him calm and relaxed.
"So you just going to leave me here all night?"
"Sorry I didn't mean to push up in it was an accident" she covered her pink lips with her soft hands about to grab his hand to help him out the water.
Ichigo grabbed her outstretched hand in a firm grip with a smirk pulling her forward instead of pulling up. Rukia the water landed in the water the second time tonight. She surfaced glaring at the male besides her chuckling. He smirked at her.
"Payback" he simply stated looking at how the droplets of water was running down in between the swell of her soft chest. All he thought about was how it'll feel to caressing her lovely breasts.
"Oh yeah" a small glint in her eyes she splashed a heap of water right in his face. He was shocked at her actions but wasn't going to let her get the best of him he grabbed her making her squeal giving her short dunks underwater.
They got out of the water a little later drying themselves off (like dogs). Rukia smiled even though she was oaked to the bone she smiled anyway. She carried her things on her shoulder about to head back to the Kuchiki estate, but took one last look at the crested moon in the starry sky.
Ichigo saw Rukia looking up toward the moon her blue eyes illuminating onto the rivers surface the sight was breath taking to say the least.
"So are you leaving or not?" stopping her pace of walking.
"What are you talking about?"
"I knew from the very start we started talking you didn't want to be here you should be at home with your friends and family not here I'm not going to stop you if you going home" she turned to face the strong leader of the Ash'mari tribe.
Ichigo was a little taken back at her words. His brain was telling him he should have just high tailed it and get home but his heart was telling his something completely different along the lines. It was telling him to stay and pursue this magnificent creature in front of him. He didn't want to leave just yet now he finally got the chance to talk to her. He wasn't going to leave here without Rukia by his side.
He lifted his hands behind his head looking up toward the sky. "Nah at least not yet you can say I got some unfinished business to take care of first before it go" Rukia was a little saddened about Ichigo leaving.
'Wait what in the world am I say I only met him tonight I'm not falling for this moron he so full of himself'
"Well I hope you don't slow the others down in training tomorrow she smiled walking down the dark path with Ichigo trailing behind her.
"What do you mean' he curiously asked hot on her heels.
"Oh nothing you'll find out soon" she snickered.
'I don't know if I like the sound of that laugh' he thought.
They walked in a comfortable silence the rest of the way down the riverbed. It was very relaxing for the both of them. If you looked hard enough you could see their wolf forms walking side by side. The black and white wolfs reflection bouncing of the surface. Ichigo and Rukia stopped at the closed doors of the gateway of the large mansion.
"Everyone must be asleep" he looked around not seeing anyone in sight.
"No there's still guards on the inside walking around but not too many I'm not supposed to be out this late" she answered his first response.
"So little princess sneaking out for some night time play" he teased only ending up with a hard punch in the gut making him hunch over in pain.
"Shut up you idiot you just saw me at the river a while ago!" she hissed.
"Better sneak through the other way" she ran toward one of the wooden planks in the wall removing a loose board out the way.
"Don't tell anyone about this okay if my nii-sama found out about this he'll flip out blaming the architectures about their poor craftsmanship this is my little secret " she smiled putting the wooden board back when they entered the garden area.
Rukia and Ichigo made it inside before they were caught by one of the guards patrolling the area in the front.
"That was close" he said.
"Yeah it was" she leaned against the wall giggling softly.
"So I'll see you around" he said blushing bright red scratching the back of his head hoping for a positive answer.
"Yeah I'll stop by tomorrow to see how the training goes for you, if you can keep up?" she winking in his direction.
"Well have to see about that well won't we?" Ichigo smirked showing of his sharp canines.
"I guess we will" she turned on her heels jumping up into the tree branches using her wolf skills for balance and agility. Before she opened her window she waved at him.
'Good-night' she mouthed.
'Night' he mouthed back at her. She smiled slipping into her bedroom shutting the windowsill shut closing her curtains for the night.
Ichigo smiled now knowing she's safe and sound in her room he could finally relax. He slipped his hands in his pockets walking toward that small barn he saw earlier for some well deserved rest.
'Like I'm sleeping in that fucking cage again, yeah fat chance' he rubbed his temples in aggravation.
He opened the wooden doors walking inside spotting some straw in a big pile he slid down onto the huge heap of hay still in his human form putting his arms behind his head looking up at the high ceiling.
'Tomorrow we see if these pups can keep up with a real wolf' his eyes shined a rich shade of gold and yellow with black slits in the darkness before he fell soundly asleep in an instant.
