So, I FINALLY noticed that I completely forgot to include Kukai in the first two chapters! Sorry if I confused any of you when he suddenly appeared from thin air and walked right into Amu's room in the last chapter XD SO I edited the first chapter and now Kukai is in the pack :)

Chapter... Something ^^

Recap:

"Tsukiyomi... Ikuto?" someone muttered. I glanced in their direction, but when I saw who it was, I whipped my head back and stared.

"Y-YOU!"

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Ikuto's POV

"IKUTO!" she squealed happily. Her usual cool facade gone, the blond lunatic literally turned from a terrifying monster to a... equally terrifying (at least, to me) five year old.

Her face was one or pure happiness and glee as she jumped up and with a leap of fate, flopped down on me. I groaned as she elbowed my stomach- which, by the way is not nice-at least she didn't aim lower...

She nearly hugged me to death.

"Oi, Utau. Quit groping him," Kukai said, rolling his eyes. She suddenly stopped moving and a dark aura surrounded her. Utau turned her head slowly towards my newfound friend and gave him her deluxe death glare.

"I know twenty-four ways to kill you with my bare hands. You do not want to mess with me. So, Souma, did you say something? I didn't hear you," she growled. Kukai trembled in fear. I honestly don't blame him.

"GOMENISAI!"

Amu's POV

I snickered at the bickering almost-couple. Those two... Ever since they first met, they've been arguing like an old married couple.

Utau was a daemon, not a werewolf like us. Even though she isn't part of our pack, she pretty much lives with us. And by "lives with us," I really mean," Eats our entire food supply without mercy."

"UTAU-CHAN!" a high-pitched voice yelled. We all turned to see Utau's daemon chara (like shugo chara but with a daemon instead of shugo! ^^) flying full speed towards my bed-which by the way, was now a couch for five werewolves including me, a daemon, Ikuto, and now two daemon charas.

"Iru! Eru! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT BARGING INTO PEOPLE'S ROOMS?!" Utau screeched at her charas. Utau had two daemon charas. Every daemon has at least one of these little guys. They are like my three wolf charas, but for daemons; hence the name; and they have physical forms.

"Nothing?" Iru said. Utau growled.

"Iru! Don't make Utau-chan angry!" Eru begged.

"She's already mad, Baka."

"OKAY! CAN IT YOU TWO!" Rima suddenly yelled in frustration. Sometimes I think Rima is like Utau's long lost twin sister because of their impatient personalities. "We have a bigger problem than your master's anger issues!"

"I do not have anger issues!"

"What are we going to do with Blue?! AND HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM UTAU?!" she continued, ignoring a fuming Utau.

"Quit calling me 'blue'."

"He's my brother."

"..."

"WHAT?!" Kukai finally shouted, breaking the awkward silence. That perverted cat is Utau's brother?! I mean sure, they're both obviously devil spawns, but SERIOUSLY?!

"Yes, now close your mouths! You're gonna catch flies that way," she said.

"Um... I don't really see the resemblance, but I suppose there's nothing else to say," Nagihiko said. "But I do see the resemblance between the flies and Utau!"

"NAGIHIKO!"

"So does this mean that Ikuto-kun is part of the pack now?" Yaya said.

"Pack?" Ikuto asked. He tilted his head to the side in confusion.

I guess that means he isn't a werewolf then. So what is he? I though in dismay. I decided to make it my mission to find out what monster Ikuto was. I mean, he definitely wasn't a human! A human would've freaked out at the first sight of Iru and Eru! You don't exactly see a chara everyday.

Utau suddenly froze and paled, completely forgetting her argument with Nagihiko. I was the only one who noticed.

"U-Uh... She means... our PACK OF FRIENDS! YUP! UH-HUH!" Utau stuttered. Utau Hoshina never stuttered. Ikuto seemed to know this too because he narrowed his eyes suspiciously, but he nodded none the less.

"Amu? What do you think?" Kairi asked since I was the alpha. I looked at Ikuto, and thought hard. Is it a really good idea to have him in the pack?

"I'm sure Ikuto has somewhere to go and a family to return to," I said. Ikuto stiffened.

"No... It's just me. I travel alone. My family isn't exactly the traveling type," Ikuto muttered.

"Good! So he can join, right?" Kukai grinned. He looked at me expectantly. Did I really want Ikuto in my pack? Only later did I realize that my immediate answer was yes, but of course, at the time I was too naive and stubborn to realize it.

"... Fine. But only if he passes the test," I said. They nodded in agreement, but Utau stayed still, her expression grim. I turned to Ikuto. "If you accept, we will give you the test tomorrow, or when you are ready."

Ikuto's POV

"I accept," I said confidently.

"Are you sure? The punishment for failing the test will be instant death."

"I'm sure..."

"Alright, when do you want to take the test?" Amu asked.

"Now, if you can."

"Of course we can. Good timing too. We just restocked."

"Restocked?"

She gave me a smirk worth of the devil. I felt myself shiver in fright.

"Come down stairs, and we will begin the first trial. And before you ask, there are three trials total."

The whole time, I couldn't help but think I've just gotten myself into one crazy-as* mess.

-O-O-O-O-O-

In less than thirty seconds, I found myself up and leaning on a marble counter in their kitchen. One table was stacked high with a pyramid of small cups (the ones people use for drinking shots).

"So? Who will it be? Who are you going to challenge for your first trial?" Amu asked, not bothering to hide her smirk. I didn't have a single clue what the first trial would be, so I would have to choose carefully.

I looked around at the people surrounding me. The samurai-glasses dude would probably find a way to outsmart me. Amu would just beat the crap out of me. Utau... I don't even want to think about it. The purple-haired weirdo looked like the kind of person that was talented at everything, as was Kukai. That only left the baby and the queen.

"I challenge pig-tails," I finally answered.

"YAY! He chose Yaya!" pig-tails squealed. So her name was Yaya. Weird name...

"Hah! Big mistake, blue," queen said. "Yaya's the second best drinker in our pack!"

"Oh? Then you guys must be lousy drinkers... Wait, drinker? This is a DRINKING CONTEST?!"

"Of course, what did you think it was? A cooking contest? If it was we would've put you in a frilly pink apron. Actually, we still can. Apron anyone?"

"No... I'm fine. Just... Just pour the beer."

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

They poured the beer alright. But instead of the small shots stacked neatly on the counter, they brought a huge mug almost the same height as the queen and as wide as the counter.

"And you expect me to drink this how?"

"Like this! Watch Yaya!" Yaya said. She placed one hand on the handle of the mug and effortlessly picked it up like it weighed nothing. I swear my jaw dropped to the ground.

Hesitantly, I reached out and held the cup by its handle and tried to pick it up like Yaya. Key word: tried. The mug of beer weight a lot- even by vampire standards, and I was one of the strongest vampires in my coven- but, being the stubborn idiot I am, I strained my muscles, and using my full strength, eventually picked it up triumphantly.

"Right, so this is a drinking contest. The one who finishes first will, obviously, win the contest. If Ikuto passes, he will proceed to the next trial. There are no rules. Ready?" Amu said, looking at us both. Yaya nodded excitedly, looking like she was going to start jumping around the room from anxiety, while I simply nodded warily. "On three! One... Two... THREE!"

We chugged the beer- which by the way, tasted HORRIBLE- and in no time, I was halfway finished. I glanced over to see that Yaya was almost finished. Eyes widening in shock, I brought the mug up higher and drank as fast as vampiricly possible. In the matter of seconds, I finished, and slammed my cup down in unison with Yaya.

"... And the winner is... umm... Well, it's a tie... so... Amu?" Kukai said, looking at Amu for her verdict. She frowned, but gradually nodded her head.

"He passes," she said, smiling. The rest cheered in happiness at her acceptance.

"All right! Ikuto you freaking passed!" Utau cheered and crushed me with another one of her bear hugs.

"You may have passed the first trial, but you still have to pass the other two. And the other ones are way more serious and difficult than this. So, celebrate for now. Tomorrow, we will hunt."

"Hunt?" I asked. She simply smirked in reply.

"The second trial."

Chapter End.
