An alarm clock went off with it's blaring ringing, effectively waking both Zero and myself. I groaned loudly and rolled over while Zero slammed his fist on the annoying clock. "I swear, you set that again and you will be the one who is smashed." I growled, tossing the blankets off of me and sluggishly walking to the bathroom to preform my daily rituals. Once done, I flopped back onto the bed with a loud and dramatic sigh. "Hungry?" Zero asked as he poked my sides, to which I tried and failed to slap his hands away. "I seem to always be hungry for real food...not the stuff Chairman and I create. I didn't eve know paprika didn't go in cookies until he put in the batter." I huffed out, rolling on the bed until I was able to latch onto my silver haired hunter.
"WAFFLES!" I sang out as Zero pulled out a cookbook to make the golden squares of yumminess. I had my tail and ears out to sway and twitch along with my happy mood. 'Something to you' by the vamps was playing from Zero's phone while he cooked. Stealing his stuff was starting to become a hobby of mine. "Do you want fruit on yours?" The chef asked while I swung around an epic dance move. "Yes please!" I have no idea what has me in such a good mood today, but it seems to be rubbing off on Zero as he tapped to the beat.
Breakfast was over far too soon and I was soon walking with the hunter around the school. Now, you must be wondering about Zero Kiryu's classes and why he hasn't been pretty much since I've been here. Well, the Chairman gives him the homework and makes him stay with me while my mother and I stick around the school. He still has his patrolling duties to do, and most times I simply go with him. Just like today.
" I think the vampires stick to obeying the rules now that there is a werewolf on the grounds."I say as I jump onto a tree trunk and kick off to the next before landing on a boulder. "That is a possibility, but I think it's more that Yuki has ordered them to follow the Chairman's rules." I think it over before nodding. "That's more likely the case." I look up to the blue sky and take a deep breath in, clean, clear air filling my lungs before the scent of a few girls entered my nose. "If only she could convince those fangirls to listen." I growled before leading the way to three girls sneaking closer to the moon dorms. I shifted into my wolf form and padded up behind them. My cold nose touched the neck of one girl and she let out a shriek that almost had my ears bleeding.
Their expressions were almost comical as they looked from a big dog to a pissed Zero. White as sheets, the girls gaped for a moment before standing to leave with heads hung in defeat. "You really shouldn't shift like that, someone could see you." Zero whispered as he led the girls away. I let out a huff and trotted beside him, easily keeping pace with the long legged boy. Once the girls were dumped off at the Chairman's office, Zero and I continued to patrol the school grounds until classes started and we were able to take a break.
"I wonder what that science dude is going to find out in my blood." I wondered aloud as I waltzed into the stables. "Maybe some incurable decease or a bug of some kind." Zero joked, earning him a shower of hay. "Maybe you were infected too." I stuck out my tongue and walked over to Lilly. She sniffed me out before letting me brush her out. "Such a pretty girl cooped up in a stall all day. Poor thing needs a wolf to race." I grin, looking over to the silver haired boy as he just realized what I said. "No, no wolfing out during school hours. Anyone would freak to see you chasing a horse." He said, waving the idea away. "Now who said I would be chasing? I haven't reached my top speed yet, who's to say you wouldn't be the one chasing me?" I baited, my tail tossing from side to side waiting on him to take the bait.
The wind ripped through my dark fur as I bounded over a fallen tree, Zero and Lilly just feet behind me. I bolted through the trees as I urged my legs to run faster. The trees soon blurred together as I built up speed and raced across the woods. Zero's voice barely reached my ears as I took notice of a lake a tad too late. One tumbling splash later and I was doggy paddling back to shore. Shaking my fur out, I took notice that Zero and Lilly were no where in sight. So, I trotted back the way I came in hope of finding them.
A good hour later and I still hadn't found my friend and her companion. -I must have run a pretty good ways.- I thought as I started running again. Time passed by and Zero's scent filled my nose. I let out a happy bark and bounded over to him, though I was met with a giant of a man wearing the association crest. -What the sparkles does he want?- I inwardly huffed. "If that wolf returns, be sure to tie this on her neck." He ordered before leaving like a shadow. Slowly, I stepped out from the brush and looked up at Zero and the leather collar he held. I could smell the spells that were cast on it, though I didn't know what they did. All I knew was that thing was not going around my neck.
Zero saw me as I shifted into my human self. "That thing is not gonna touch me." I growled at the collar, my hair bristling as Zero got off Lilly. "Mia...I'm sorry. They...They have your mother, Jari." My breath caught as I took in this new information. The association would do anything to keep a beast like me on a leash, and they just proved that they are much worse than the vampire community. A growl ripped through my throat as I flatten my ears to show my anger. "Fine, but I will be the one putting it on."
The moment I latched the collar around my neck, my body went ridged and a howling yelp left my mouth. My bones shifted and molded against my will as fur covered my body, I felt my paws and snout and knew that I would now be stuck in the form of a dog. Panting, the burning finally left and I was able to take in what happened to me. Light brown and black fur spotted my coat and I was a good six inches shorter than my usual wolf. My claws were dull and dog like and my fangs were also less dangerous. I heard Zero land on the ground and I turned to see him reaching for me. "I'm so sorry." He whispered and hugged my new small form to his chest. "I feel so useless." I growled softly and licked the boys face, giving him a doggy smile and urging him to get back on Lilly.
I was so much slower as a normal dog, all of my wolf powers had been sealed and I was now an official mutt. Sighing, I padded back into the stables as Zero walked Lilly in. "Guess we need to inform Chairman of this." The hunter groaned, both of us already preparing for the onslaught of motherliness.-Yeah yeah yeah, let's get this over with.- We both made our way to the Chairman's office and took a deep breath in. "Uh...Chairman?" Zero asked through the door as he knocked. "Yes Zero? Come on in, so unusual for you not to barge right in." I heard Cross murmur as we walked in. "Well, it's about Mia." The silver haired boy started and looked down to me. "The association had a collar made to cancel out her werewolf. Now she's stuck as a small husky."
You could have heard a pin drop in the room as the Kaien and Toga (Yes, he is there) watch me walk further into the room. My head was up, ears perked up and eyes watching every move the two hunters made. Toga reacted first my laughing until he fell over on the couch, Kaien Jumped from his desk and crushed my doggy self with his hug of doom. "MY POOR MIA IS A COMMON DOG! WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING TO SUCH A LOVING GIRL?!" The man cried as I barked at him to let me go. Once things calmed down a notch, Zero was able to explain what happened and ask if there was anything we could do to change me back.
Nothing from the two older men that have been with the vampire association for years. Not a clue from either of them. I let out a growl and flop onto Zero's shoulder (We migrated to the sofa) and grumbled out indistinguishable doggy words of frustration. "We'll go to the archive in the morning to see what we can find. Until we find out how to fix this, you have to act like a dog." My Uncle said, pointing a finger at my snout. I simply gave him a deadpanned expression and rolled my eyes. I could already tell this was not going to be fun or easy.
