Noll, John and Mai made it to the address. Mai looked up at the house and stopped in her tracks. She whimpered for the men to stop and they did. "What's wrong girl?" John asked.
Mai walked up to the door and sniffed. Then she snapped her head up. Then she started to park and howl.
"She is remembering…" Noll said. John was getting excited.
After a few minutes a teenager came running out. He spotted two men. "Can I help you?"
"Are you Osamu Yasuhara?" Noll asked. "Yes I am. And may I ask who you are?" Yasuhara-san asked in a friendly voice.
"My name is Kazuya Shibuya and this is John Brown. Did you know a girl called Mai Taniyama?"
"You better come in." Yasuhara-san said, stepping aside to let them in. Then he led them in to a living room. "Tea, Coffee?" He asked. "Tea please." John replied.
"Shibuya-san?"
"Tea, thank you."
Yasuhara-san went in to the kitchen and made the tea. He came back a minute later with a tray with three hot mugs in it. "Help yourselves to milk and sugar. Now you were asking about Mai Taniyama?"
"Do you remember her?" John asked.
"Yeah, she would run to the church in tears every time she was upset. One day when I was getting the mail when she bumped in to me. I let her inside and we talked. My parents fed her lunch. She charmed her way in to thier hearts. She made them laugh. Taniyama-san and I played for hours. Since then she came over every day after school to play. Then one afternoon I waited for her but she never came. My parents told me that she probably moved. Do you know what happened to her?"
John looked at Noll who looked at Mai who was looking at Yasuhara-san. "What if I told you that Taniyama-san is a werewolf?" Noll asked.
Yasuhara-san looked at him as if he was from another planet. "I would tell you that you are crazy. You're crazy."
Noll sighed. "See this dog here?" Yasuhara-san nodded looking at Mai. "My mother found her when she was a puppy, she was beaten up by a group of teenagers. She can't remember anything."
"Are you telling me that this white dog is Mai-san?"
"Yes I am. Look at her, she is bigger than any wolf or any wild dog."
Yasuhara looked at Mai gently. Then after a minute he said slowly. "I think I believe you." Then he knelt down in front of Mai and patted her head. "Mai-san?" He whispered quietly. Mai turned her head, then she licked his wrist.
Yasuhara-san looked up at Noll and asked, "let me help. Having me around might jog a memory."
Noll nodded. "Come with us. Bring some cloths with you. So you can stay with us. Make sure it's okay with your parents."
"My parents have gone away for few months."
By the time they got home it was dark and dinner was being served. "Ah just in time Noll." Madoka said as she put the salad down on to the table.
"Everyone, this is John Brown, he's a priest from the church. And this is Taniyama-san's old friend Osamu Yasuhara-san. They want to help."
"Have a seat gentlemen. There is plenty to go around."
"Thank you."
They ate and chattered for a while. When the clock struck ten o'clock Mai went in to the room where she would be alone.
She climbed the stairs and then climbed on to her bed and fell asleep. Feeling the change over come her. Her white fur turned in to the pale skin and her blue eyes changed to brown She pulled the covers over her to cover her nakedness.
There it is. Mai changed back. But will she remember her past? Please R&R
