Ahhh! Luna faith90! You were SOO CLOSE to getting the wolf thing right! Just a little off and I doubt anyone would be able to guess it on the first try. Wolfram ISN'T the wolf, BUT you are SOOOO close! (And no, the wolf ISN'T a person [that's in the anime], but it is related to Wolfram!)

Wolfram, Conrad, Gwendal, Gunter, and the leader of the vampire hunters were all standing in Gwendals office.

Gwendal cleared his throat and said, "Since the king has been kidnapped by the vampires, we are asking for your help and advice in retrieving him from the vampires," He looked at the hunter and said, "Sir Jovlin."

Jovlin looked at the people of high importance before him, with a look that said he didn't care.

"The task you are asking is near impossible. If we go near them, there's no doubt they'll kill your king, but sacrifices need to be made-" He started.

Wolfram slammed his hands on the table and yelled, "This isn't just anyone's life we're talking about! This is King Yuuri's life! Do you not care?!"

"My only concern is the destruction of the vampires. If it means the king might die if we go near them, so be it." Jovlin stated.

Everyone in the room glared at the hunter before them. Conrad coughed, then said, "Jovlin, would you be able to save our king for a large sum of gold?"

Jovlin looked at Conrad and said, "I kill vampires for the sake of making this world pure, not to make money."

Gwendal growled and his eye twitched. He slammed his hands on the table and yelled, "We are tired of arguing with you! If you disregard the king's safety when you raid the vampire camp tonight, we will have you arrested and put to trial!"

Jovlin looked at Gwendal with an expressionless face. Everyone glared at Jovlin. "What makes you think I'd care? I'd either pay my way out of prison, or break out. I will not let anything stop me from exterminating every last blood sucking vampire. Now if you'll excuse me." Jovlin said as he turned and walked towards the door and left.

Everyone that was left in the room was angry beyond belief. Wolfram was so angry, he grabbed a book and threw it at the door when Jovlin left. No one scolded him since the wanted to do the same thing, plus, he was dealing with Yuuri's kidnapping worse than everyone else. They knew that behind his lies of, 'He won't break the engagement because of honor,' He truly did love Yuuri.

Wolfram stormed out of the room and they all knew where he was going, the Shinou's Temple. He had been hanging around there a lot lately. Why? Nobody knew.

Wolfram was standing in the middle of the temple, staring into the pond. His fists were clenched so tight, his knuckles were white.

"Yuuri you wimp!" He yelled at no one in particular. There was some rustling in the bushes nearby Wolfram and he turned to look at them. A young wolf tentively stepped out of the bushes and walked over to Wolfram. Wolfram calmed down some and put his hand on the wolf's head. The wolf leaned into Wolfram's hand. Wolfram said, "Hey Arvolf, what are you doing here?"

The wolf, named Arvolf by Wolfram, tilted its head and looked at Wolfram and its eyes shined. Wolfram sighed and said, "You always know when I'm upset." The wolf sat and just stared at Wolfram.

Murata and Shinou watched their interaction from afar.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Murata asked the dead king.

"That Wolfram's a druid?" Shinou asked.

"A wolf druid to be more exact." Murata said. "If he can figure that out, he can get all the wolves in Shin Makoku to look for Shibuya."

Shinou looked at Murata with a confused expression and asked, "Why not just tell him?"

Murata sighed and decided to tell Shinou the truth.

"Because," He whispered in case anyone heard him, "Shibuya's a vampire."

Shinou didn't look that surprised. "And you think I didn't already know that? I have been in his memories before."

Murata sighed and said, "I knew you knew that, it's just your too much of an idiot to understand what I'm trying to say."

Shinou looked at Murata confused, then something seemed to click in his mind. "You're saying that this?..." Shinou trailed off.

Murata nodded his head and said, "The perfect time for Yuuri, to disappear."

Shinou sighed and said, "And here I was hoping he could have one more year here."

Yuuri was walking along the road leading away from Blood Pledge Castle, and eventually, out of Shin Makoku. He looked to his right and into the forest and saw the dark figures of the other vampires. He had learned something about the difference between this world's vampires and earth's vampires. Vampires in Shin Makoku turn into black shadow like people during the day. You can't see any details what so ever. They're just like black walking silhouettes.

Yuuri's hand was nudged by the wolf that had come over to him last night. He had named the wolf Mingan, and it seemed to follow Yuuri where ever he went. Yuuri looked down at Mingan and the wolf looked straight into Yuuri's eyes. Mingan then whined some and Yuuri knew what he wanted; Mingan was hungry.

"Just wait until tonight, then I'll help you hunt, 'kay?" He asked Mingan. Mingan whined some, then turned his head so he was facing straight. Yuuri took this as an, 'all right'.

Far behind the vampires and Yuuri, a hunter scout was stalking them. He didn't know why Yuuri was willingly walking with the vampires, so he had decided to keep his distance and observe them.

Later that night, the vampires had set up camp about a mile away from the road. They had traveled about ten to eleven miles that day and were taking a break. Yuuri, however, was keeping his promise with Mingan and was hunting with him.

The hunter scout had followed Yuuri to see what he was up to.

Yuuri followed Mingan around and they stumbled onto a herd of deer. "Ready?" Yuuri whispered to Mingan. Mingan immediatly took off after some deer and Yuuri sighed. He then used his vampiric abilities and searched for the deer that was closest to his blood prefrence. He locked onto one and pursued it, then quickly latched onto its neck with his teeth and started sucking its blood. It flailed around wildly, then started to do so with less energy, then went limp in Yuuri's arms once it was dead. Yuuri took his fangs out of it and laid on the ground gently. Mingan walked over to Yuuri, then bit into the deer's stomache and started tearing it apart. Yuuri turned his head away and started thinking about Wolfram. Why, he didn't know. Recently, his thoughts had been going back to Wolfram and Yuuri just couldn't seem to grasp why.

In the high branches of a tree, the hunter scout stared at Yuuri in shock as he readied his crossbow. The king was a vampire?! Since when!? He was about to fire when a hand grabbed his wrist. He looked up and saw a vampire, with long blondish brown hair, that was staring right at him. Qaphsiel said, "I don't think so." He then lunged at the hunter's neck and bit it.

Yuuri heard someone scream, but didn't know where it came from. He stood up and looked over his shoulder at Mingan. "Come on Mingan, let's get back to camp." The wolf looked up at him and trotted over to Yuuri's side.

Back at camp, Qaphsiel had already returned and Janda asked him, "Take care of that pesky hunter?"

Qaphsiel just nodded his head at the brunette vampire's question and she nodded back, then left. Yuuri returned to the camp and saw Cross. He ran over to him and asked, "What was that scream?"

"Just a hunter that was brave enough to try and attack the camp. He was probably a scout and there will probably be more hunters here soon." Cross replied. Yuuri looked around and noticed everyone was packing the camp up.

"So, we're leaving?" Yuuri asked.

Cross nodded his head and Yuuri just slumped his shoulders. Can't they just get along? he thought to himself.

Conrad, Wolfram, and Gwendal were traveling with the hunters towards the location of the vampire camp. They weren't that far away when they heard a scream.

"What was that?" Wolfram asked one of the hunters.

"A vampire probably found our scout." The hunter answered. Wolfram's grip on the reins of his horse tightened and his knuckles turned white.

Unknown to the traveling group, there were wolves in the forest that were keeping pace with them. The group grew larger the further they traveled and there was about fifty or so. They were all gathering because they could sense Wolfram's want to save his fiancee.

Although, for some strange reason, Mingan was unaffected by Wolfram's magic, but the wolf could sense it. He whined and Yuuri looked at him. "Don't worry, we'll leave before-" Yuuri was cut off by someone's scream. He looked to his left and saw a red headed male vampire fall to the ground with an arrow in his chest. All the vampires in the camp started preparing to defend themselves and Yuuri looked around, confused. Where were the hunters?

Yuuri looked around, then saw a group of hunters with crossbows in their hands come out of the forest. They started firing and several vampires either dodged, or got hit and died.

Yuuri stood there, too shocked to move. He then felt something hit his right arm and looked down to see an arrow in it. For a moment, he thought he was going to die, but then he smelled the type of poison that was on the arrow. It was a weak poison, one that only killed fang-born vampires. (Aka, vampires that were bit and turned.) Although, the poison did affect Mishnings enough to cause their body to slightly go numb and slow their movements. Yuuri quickly pulled the arrow out and winced a little once he did. Cross was at his side and he picked Yuuri up and started running towards the forest.

"But the others..." Yuuri weakly protested as he looked past Cross at them.

"They'll be fine, we just have to keep them from finding you." Cross said.

Wolfram was frantically searching the crowd of vampires for Yuuri, but he couldn't spot him anywhere.

Wolfram had somehow been seperated from his brothers, but he was still near some hunters. He then heard something whining and looked down and saw a wolf. The wolf looked Wolfram in the eyes as if to say, 'Follow me.' Wolfram quickly dismounted his horse and followed the wolf. He had to run to keep pace with the wolf. He then noticed that he was soon surrounded by wolves and that they were protecting him while leading him somewhere.

Wolfram then heard growls and barking up ahead and saw the wolves attacking a bald vampire. Wolfram quickly hid behind a tree and looked at the vampire. He was more angry than injured at the amount of wolves attacking him. Wolfram then noticed something slumped against the trunk of a tree near the vampire and quickly realized who it was. Yuuri!

Wolfram than noticed there was a wolf standing in front of Yuuri protectively. Wolfram slowly crept around so he would escape the vampire's notice, and got to Yuuri.

He knelt on the left side of Yuuri and put his right hand on Yuuri's left shoulder.

"Yuuri!" Wolfram whispered, "Yuuri, are you alright?"

Yuuri was too exhausted from the poison to escape from Cross to make sure the other vampires were okay, so he reluctantly allowed Cross to carry him somewhere. Cross had eventually put him down and was about to check his wound when they were attacked by a massive pack of wolves. Well, more like Cross was attacked, but still.

Yuuri was sitting/leaning against the trunk of a tree when he felt something on his shoulder.

He then heard Wolfram's voice say, "Yuuri! Yuuri, are you alright?"

Yuuri partially cracked his eyelids and saw Wolfram sitting on his heels beside him.

"Wolf... ram?" Yuuri asked sleepily. The poison had drained all his strength.

The next thing he knew, Wolfram pulled him into a hug and had Yuuri's head shoved between his shoulder and neck.

"Yuuri, you wimp..." Wolfram trailed off as he felt the sting of tears in his eyes.

Yuuri's eyes, however, were wide and turning red as his vampiric vision saw his favorite blood type pumping through the veins in Wolfram's neck. Yuuri cautiously, as to not alert Wolfram too much, wrapped his arms around Wolfram and clutched Wolfram's shirt. He started panting as he tried resisting the urge to bite Wolfram. Damn! Why do I always want to bite Wolfram? I just ate! Yuuri thought to himself.

"Yuuri?" Wolfram asked as he tried to pull away from Yuuri, but then realized he couldn't. "Hey, what's wrong?" Wolfram asked with concern clear in his voice.

Yuuri couldn't take it anymore. He whispered in Wolfram's ear, "Gomenesai, Wolfram..."

Yuuri then licked Wolfram's neck and Wolfram shuttered. He tried pulling away again and said, "Wimp! What are you doing?!"

Yuuri ignored his question and held Wolfram tighter to make sure Wolfram wouldn't escape. His vampiric instincts were taking over. He felt his fangs grow long again and he placed the tips on the spot of Wolfram's neck on which he just licked, then pushed his fangs into Wolfram's soft flesh.

Wolfram's pupil's dilated when he realized what had just happened.

Yuuri had bit him.

But, that would mean... Wolfram thought to himself. He looked down at the top of Yuuri's head and he started feeling dizzy. He fought to stay conciouss and tried pushing Yuuri's arms away. He somehow managed to get Yuuri's arms away from around him, then fell back onto his backside. He stared at Yuuri in shock when he saw his blood red eyes and the small trail of blood leading from the corner of Yuuri's lip. His right hand instantly flew to the right side of his neck and when he pulled it away, he saw blood on it.

Yuuri, too, was shocked that he had bit Wolfram. Yuuri watched the emotions that played across Wolfram's eyes as he stared at him. Hurt, betrayal, anger, sadness, disbelief, shock.

But hurt was the strongest emotion in his eyes.

"Yuuri..." Wolfram trailed off. Yuuri braced himself for what he was going to say.

"You're a vampire?..." Wolfram asked, not wanting to believe it.

Yuuri didn't reply. Not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. His vampiric instincts still had control over his body and he wanted to continue drinking Wolfram's blood. He had only drank less than a quarter of a pint when he had bit Wolfram.

Yuuri's eyes looked at the wound on Wolfram's neck and his eyes grew a brighter blood red. Wolfram noticed that and immediatly stood up and started backing away from Yuuri. Yuuri stood up and started walking forward towards Wolfram.

Wolfram didn't know what to do. He would fight, but it was Yuuri that he'd have to fight! So the only thing he could do was try to escape. He continued to back away from Yuuri, but then he ran into something. He turned and saw it was a tree, then he quickly turned his head back towards Yuuri only to see he was right in front of him. Wolfram's eyes widened and he immediatly turned to flee, but Yuuri grabbed his wrist and threw him back against the tree. Yuuri then grabbed Wolfram's wrists and pinned his arms against the tree, making it impossible for Wolfram to fight or flee. Wolfram looked into Yuuri's eyes.

The only thing he could see in them was hunger, blood thirsty hunger.

Yuuri leaned his head towards the wound he had made earlier on Wolfram's neck and he licked the blood away from around the wound.

"Yuur-Yuuri!" Wolfram yelled. Yuuri pulled his head away from Wolfram's neck and stared into the blonde's emerald eyes.

"Yuuri, don't." Wolfram pleaded. Wolfram mentally kicked himself for being so pathetic at a moment like this. Although, he was hurt when Yuuri's eyes remained unchanged.

Since that was all Wolfram had to say, Yuuri leaned his head forward so that his fangs were near Wolfram's neck again.

Wolfram looked at the top of Yuuri's head again and realized something. If Yuuri's a vampire, he won't be accepted as king... I'll have to keep it a secret... Wolfram gulped when he realized something else. That means I'll be the only one that knows that secret and that means... I'll be the only one he can bite.

Wolfram then felt a sharp pain in his neck again as Yuuri bit him. He closed his eyes as he felt Yuuri suck his blood. Tears escaped Wolfram's eyes and streamed down his cheeks and dripped off at his chin. Wolfram opened his eyes and said, "I won't tell anyone, I promise."

Yuuri had drank about one and a half pints of Wolfram's blood when he began to feel full. His vampiric instincts slowly faded away, and then Yuuri realized what had happened and what he was doing. His eyes widened in shock and he quickly let go of Wolfram's neck and backed away from him. "Wolfram! I-I'm sorry! I couldn't stop myself... I-I-I..." Yuuri stuttered.

Wolfram looked at him and weakly smiled. "I understand, they turned you into a vampire and you were just doing what you had to. I won't tell anyone." Wolfram said. He then wiped the tears away from his eyes and looked at a now calmer, non-bloodthirsty, Yuuri.

Yuuri was shocked at how easily Wolfram accepted his current condition, but then again, Wolfram thought he was turned, not born one. Yuuri smiled anyway and asked, "Why can't everyone else be as accepting as you?"

Wolfram then put Yuuri in a headlock and said, "Wimp! They're not, so don't even try to tell them!"

"Okay! Okay!" Yuuri yelled. Yuuri than realized something and said, "Wolf."

Wolfram looked at him and said, "What now?"

"How are we going to hide your bite marks?" Yuuri asked.

"Er, I didn't think about that..." Wolfram stated.

Yuuri sighed, then put his mouth near the wound he had made on Wolfram's neck.

"Hey! I thought you were done!" Wolfram yelled.

"I am, but we might as well get rid of the blood first, and there's no reason to waste it." Yuuri said. He then licked away the extra blood that was on Wolfram's neck until it was gone. He then pulled his head away and saw Wolfram staring at him.

"Huh? What is it?" Yuuri asked.

"N-nothing." Wolfram said as he looked away. Yuuri then noticed the blood on Wolfram's right hand. He grabbed Wolfram's wrist and pulled his hand up and looked at the blood closely.

"When did you hurt your hand?" Yuuri asked.

"I didn't! I put my hand on my neck when you bit me and I got blood on it!" Wolfram yelled.

Yuuri sighed and started licking the blood off of Wolfram's hand. He didn't notice as Wolfram blushed.

"I can just wash my hand off, it's alright Yuuri." Wolfram said.

"But that'd be a waste of blood..." Yuuri trailed off. He then continued to lick the blood off of Wolfram's hand until it was all gone.

"You know, with the blood gone, you can hardly see the bite marks." Yuuri stated as he looked at Wolfram's neck.

"Alright then, I'll just keep my hair close to my neck in case anyone notices." Wolfram said. He then pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped away the blood that was on the corner of Yuuri's mouth.

"Eh?" Yuuri said a bit surprised since he didn't know what Wolfram was doing.

"You can't return with blood on your mouth, everyone would instantly know you're a vampire." Wolfram said as he pocketed his handkerchief.

"Oops." Yuuri said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Come on, let's go back to the others." Wolfram said.

"Others?" Yuuri asked.

"Conrad, Gwendal and the hunters." Wolfram said.

Yuuri's eyes widened and he said, "Hunters?"

Wolfram quickly noticed that Yuuri was worried, so he said, "Don't worry, I won't let them know you're a vampire."

"But the other vampires might tell them." Yuuri panicked.

"The other vampires are probably all dead by now." Wolfram stated.

Yuuri tensed up. He should be happy that they're dead, that way he can go home, but he couldn't help but feel sad since they were just doing what they had to to survive.

"Yuuri?" Wolfram asked.

"I-I'm fine." Yuuri lied.

"Then let's go." Wolfram said. Yuuri nodded his head and started following Wolfram.

Close behind, was Mingan and Arvolf. Left behind, unknown to Yuuri and Wolfram, was Cross's dead body. He had wolf bites all over his body, but they weren't the reason for his death, it was the single werewolf bite that was on his leg that had killed him.

Werewolf saliva is poisoness to vampires, and vise-versa.

Mingan and Arvolf shared a knowing glance, than continued to trot after Yuuri and Wolfram.
