Chapter Ten: A Run to Save a Friend

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.

A/N: Alright, who here has read Blood and Chocolate? It's such a good book, it gave me the inspiration to do this fic and you have got to read it. I swear to the gods themselves that you will love it. And there's a bonus! THE MOVIE IS OUT! I can't wait to watch it! Alright, now that's I've had my little saying, ON WITH THE FIC!

The sun was bright when I returned to the first floor. After being in the basement for so long, your body gets used to it. Well, seeing as I was in a cotton robe and a pair of socks, of course my housemates gave me catcalls. Thank my lucky stars for this glare. You know, it's great having power but only until you learn to use it wisely, like the glare for example. Kaiba uses it to make others scared, respectful and it causes them to shut up. I learned it easily, watching him of course, and put it to use. Surprisingly, it works.

I returned to school the next day, told the teachers an excuse and returned to my school life. Yugi and the others noted my absence but didn't push the subject. Something told me that they know something that might be dangerous either to or for me. Greasy pizza and smelly socks filled my nose as I heard two sets of feet come near me as I walked down a hall to go home. Tristan and Joey. Sometimes I wish that they would just leave me alone sometimes.

"Tea, wait up!" Joey, no doubt. He's so loud at times, it hurts my ears. "Hey, where have you been?"

"Yeah, I mean you're never around anymore and you're starting to distance yourself from us, what's up?" Tristan asked, stopping in front of me but putting his face directly in front of mine to look into my blue eyes. Before I was turned, I would just stand there, looking back into his brown eyes but now, I still stand, looking in his brown eyes but I have to resist an urge to growl, snarl and back up with fists raised to fight. His chocolate brown eyes were mesmerizing and very sexy but he himself, not really. I mean, he would have been a good boyfriend but that would have to have been while I was still human and not a werewolf.

"I've been around and the reason why I don't hang out with you guys anymore is because I've been getting some ballet practice," I lied. They knew that I wanted to be a dancer but not anymore, well, I didn't tell them that yet.

"Yug's been upset, thinking that you didn't like us anymore or that you had transferred schools or something," Joey said before raising an eyebrow. "By the way, you haven't seen Kaiba around have you?"

I looked at Joey and gave him a blank look. He can take it however he wants. Once again, a pair of brown eyes mesmerized me. I swear, if I was human, I would consider them potentials, well, I guess I did but was too shy. Now, they're human and I can't turn them. It's against pack law.

"That snotty nosed rich boy has decided to take his lazy ass a break. He leaves and has a shit load of work to catch up but I doubt that the bastard would do it. Hell, I'm pretty sure he pays someone to do it for him," Joey said with a chuckle. I glared at him and fought a very powerful urge to punch him into the wall.

"He's taking a small vacation to rest. Work has him stress out and right now, he can't deal with school so why don't you leave him alone." I was pissed and they both knew it.

"Sorry Tea it's just I can't understand why he would play hooky. I mean, come on, it's not like Kaiba at all," Tristan tried to reason.

I sighed to calm down my pissed off nerves. "Sorry. I guess I'm just PMSing." Both of them shuddered and were grossed out. I laughed. Immature teenage boys were always fun to mess with. "So where's Yugi?"

"He said that he had to go to the museum. Something about wanting to see this new artifact," Joey said, recovering from the mental scarring.

New artifact? There was something about it in the paper but so was an attack from wolves. Yugi could be in trouble. Tonight is a full moon and if he gets caught alone out there, he could die! Ryan and Stephanie said that someone they worked for followed me one day and he knew my friends. I wouldn't put up with it anymore. Whoever was making pack members go against each other and attack humans was low. This was Kaiba's territory, this is his city and I'll be damned if I let this go on while he's recovering.

"Thanks. See you guys later!" I said, running down the hallway. I have to find Yugi; I have to make sure he's alright.

…

I growled. The moon did not wait for me. I had to stop and change before continuing. Dammit, with how strong I've gotten, I could have ignored the moon but her gaze said to change and I had to obey. I hated that Yugi would see me as a wolf but I couldn't let him die. I raced faster, passing people, signs, tree, dogs, anything to get to Domino Museum. I knew Yugi was still there, his scent told me so. New card paper, model paint and hair gel, that's Yugi alright. There is no mistake that he would still be there. Something else filled my nose, a scent. A powerful one at that. Blood, death, it filled the air and my nose as I ran. That wolf was going to kill tonight and I had to stop it.

…

(Change of POV)

I sat up in the bed. 'Tea.' She wasn't anywhere near the house and for some reason, it did make me scared. My flesh healed without a scar and I grew whatever was ripped from the fight. I glared at the two in the cage before snarling at them, still in human form. They quickly changed and lowered as flat as they could. Stephanie's scent was different and it smelled of new blood. I decided not to kill them but to make them the lowest of the ranks. Their pup depended on my decision to live or not.

Unlike wolves, werewolves do not tell others when to mate and when not to, it's just an instinct. Right now, my instinct was telling me to find my future mate and make sure she's alright. The moon had given the sky a bright look, making it look like a pale day with the pearl gown she wore. I need to find Tea. I changed, but not into my usual wolf form but into a half man, half wolf, the one form that bit her shoulder. It's slower than the wolf but stronger than the human so it'll help with whatever I might go up against.

I tried to pick up her scent as I ran to the city. I knew she when this way because the ones who share a house with her told me so. I could only hope that I would get to her in time. The paper had said that there were wolf attacks and I knew that if she got caught in something like I was, she wouldn't make it. Tea, please be alright.

A/N: Okies, all done with that chapter. Now here's the kicker, this isn't even CLOSE to the last chapter so I hope that you all have enjoyed it. Please review and in return, you all get a COOKIE!
