Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Things have gotten much busier now so I can't update very often. Again sorry for the inconvenience.
'Brother won't last much longer.' Kristina thought as she hid in some thick bushes. Rikaru was surrounded by twenty-five Krimson Knights after he took fifteen down. His body was mildly bleeding and he continued to snarl at them.
''How can a mere pup be this hard to kill?'' a Krimson Knight asked, amazed at the pup's strength and endurance. Then Rikaru's paws started shaking and his claws grew longer. His fangs lengthened and his white fur turned pitch black. His bright golden eyes turned bright violet and his pupils were slitted like a cat's. The Krimson Knights dropped their weapons and backed away in fear as poisonous green saliva dripped from Rikaru's fangs and burned the ground like acid. The now black werewolf lunged at them and blood coated the forest floor. He gripped a tree with his jaws and tore it from the ground. He smacked the last Krimson Knight through five trees and threw the loose tree away. Kristina covered her eyes with her paws and whimpered when Rikaru turned his gaze to her. Terror immediately washed over her as he showed her his blood and poison covered fangs.
''Do you fear me little one?'' Rikaru asked in a demonic voice and Kristina nervously nodded.
''What happened to you brother?''
''...'' Rikaru thought.
''Brother?'' Kristina asked, now confused at her brother's change in personality.
''I'm a cursed werewolf sister. Please...get away from me!'' Rikaru snarled and he ran off.
End Dream
'What was that?' Kristina thought after waking up. Her silver eyes scanned the room only to find everyone except her brother sleeping. She stretched and shook her fur before walking outside. She sniffed around for her brother and followed his scent to the roof of the inn they were staying at. She found him sitting on his haunches looking up at the half full moon and moved closer. The cool night breeze ruffled through their fur and she sat next to her brother. ''Is something wrong big bro?''
''It's nothing. I was just thinking about somethings.'' Rikaru answered and Kristina grinned.
''Is that so? Did any of those 'somethings' have to do with Zola?'' Rikaru ignored her and laid down. Kristina stopped grinning and laid down with him. Whenever he ignored her teasing, he really was thinking about something important.
''Please tell me what's wrong. I want to help you as much as I can.'' Rikaru looked at her and laid his right paw over his left.
''One of the things I'm thinking about is about Zola and the others but it's more serious than that.''
''Is it about your curse?"
''Yeah. Which is another reason I needed more power. I want to learn how to control it or else I'll have to leave their group and never come back.''
''We'll figure something out.''
The next morning...
''Hand me the wrench please.'' Kluke said and Jiro handed her one. Rikaru, Kristina, and Marumaro were running around playing some kind of game. Bouquet was stirring something in a pot and Shu was sitting down watching her. Zola sat off by herself reading over the Extra Seven until Marumaro stopped playing and walked over. Rikaru and Kristina started wrestling and Zola looked up from the papers.
''What is it Marumaro?'' Zola asked.
''I'm positive that that's the chapter where Saber Tiger gets more power maro.'' Marumaro answered and he summoned Saber Tiger. ''My hometown is in the East so that's where we're headed!''
''Makes sense I guess.'' Rikaru said walking over in his human form. Then Saber Tiger ran off in a large cloud of dust with Marumaro on his back.
''Were we supposed to follow him or something?'' Shu asked.
''Probably, but we'll catch up at our own pace.'' Kristina answered in her human form.
In Marumaro's village...
''Hey Papa! Mama!'' Marumaro shouted and the roaring after wind from Saber Tiger threw them into a house. After they got up, they rushed over to him.
''What took you so long pa!'' Papa shouted.
''You couldn't even take a couple of minutes to call ma!'' Mama shouted.
''Sorry about that maro.'' Marumaro said and the others entered the village.
''Geez family problems already?'' Rikaru asked and Marumaro laughed sheepishly.
Inside Ma and Pa's house...
''First allow me to thank you for helping out our son.'' Papa said. Shu and Kristina were too busy drooling at the food to hear.
''I'm not sure if you'll like any of this but help yourselves.'' Mama said and everyone sat down to eat.
''Hey Zola, what does the rest of chapter three say?'' Marumaro asked.
''He gathers together all of the spirits and then brings moisture to the entire land.'' Zola said and Marumaro thought for a moment.
Outside...
''Are you okay Marumaro?'' Kristina asked.
''I'm just not sure what 'gathering all the spirits' mean maro.'' Marumaro answered until he looked up and got an idea. ''Hey Kristina, how strong are you?''
''I'm stronger than a normal human, that much I know.'' Kristina answered trying to figure out where this was going. Then Marumaro summoned Saber Tiger.
''Saber Tiger, I want you to help Kristina gather the spirits of the Devee Tribe.'' Marumaro said and Saber Tiger looked at him in shock.
''Won't that get us in trouble?'' Saber Tiger asked and Kristina looked at Marumaro in shock too.
''So you're trying to get me in trouble?'' Kristina growled.
''Come on Kristina, don't you want to help us get more power?'' Marumaro whined and Kristina sighed.
''I guess if that's the case...'' Kristina trailed off before shifting to her wolf form. Marumaro climbed on her back and she leaped on half of the houses while Saber Tiger handled the other half.
Outside the village...
''Okay, now what?'' Kristina asked as she scratched behind her ear with her hind leg.
''We need to bring moisture to the land, whatever that means maro.'' Marumaro answered.
''Well I know moisture means water and bringing moisture could mean rain.'' Saber Tiger said and Marumaro had a look on his face that made Kristina shiver.
''Let's do it!'' Marumaro shouted and Saber Tiger threw the statues in the air. They rained down on the village and some of the villagers got hurt.
''Hey! Are you two the ones who took the guardian statues from the village?'' a devee villager asked angrily.
''Yeah and dropped them on our heads!'' another one shouted.
''R-Run!'' Kristina shouted and they ran off with angry villagers following them.
In the forest...
''Way to go genius!'' Kristina growled.
''Sorry. Anyway, we need to 'dispel strife.'" Marumaro said folding his arms.
''So we need to get rid of worries or conflict.'' Saber Tiger said and Marumaro got another idea.
''In order to dispel my strife I look at my favorite things.'' Saber Tiger and Kristina sweatdropped.
''I..uh...don't think it means your strife.'' Kristina said. Marumaro ignored her and ran to the next village. ''Dammit all to hell!''
Back at Marumaro's village...
''I hope you'll continue to take care of our little Marumaro.'' Papa said.
''I always hoped he would turn out well and he has thanks to you.'' Mama said before she started crying and everyone sweatdropped. Then a random girl burst through the door.
''Are you two the parents of that weird little guy?'' the girl with a frog hat asked.
''Yes we are. What can we do for you?'' Papa asked.
''He's been chasing girls all over town!'' the girl shouted
''That's not fair! Why didn't he invite me?'' Papa shouted and Rikaru facepalmed.
''That was kinda the wrong thing to say dude.'' Rikaru said and Papa looked at him questionably until Mama glared at him.
''What the hell is wrong with you!'' Mama shouted and she started choking him.
''Alright you guys, go stop Marumaro.'' Zola said and the others except Rikaru left.
In the next village...
'Dammit this boy is such a headache!' Kristina thought as she continued running after Marumaro. Then they ran past a short old lady who started grinning at them.
''My my. What a handsome boy and that dog of his has such beautiful fur.'' the old lady said to herself and she followed them. Kristina looked behind her and saw that they had someone following them.
''Hey Marumaro, we've got some unwanted company!'' Kristina shouted and Marumaro looked behind him to see an old lady running after them with a crazed expression on her face.
''AHHHHHH!'' Marumaro shouted and he jumped on Kristina's back. The brown werewolf picked up some more speed and the old lady continued to run after them.
Outside the village...
''Whew that was close maro.'' Marumaro said as they emerged from the bushes after the old lady ran past them and Kristina started panting.
''At least...I got...a...work..out.'' Kristina said still panting and Marumaro summoned Saber Tiger.
''You know, maybe you're misinterpreting what chapter three is saying.'' Saber Tiger said.
''You just don't believe me do you?'' Marumaro asked.
''Whoa just calm down Marumaro.''
''Do you believe me Kristina?'' Kristina looked away.
''I uh make no comment.'' Kristina said until her ears twitched and she sighed. Four girls came into view and Saber Tiger sighed.
''Look more eye candy maro.'' Marumaro said excited.
''They have such bad timing.'' Saber Tiger said. Marumaro hopped on Saber Tiger and they ran out. The after wind from Saber Tiger lifted there skirts up and Kristina sighed again.
''This is really too much.'' Kristina said to herself and she ran out too. Then Shu, Jiro, Kluke, and Bouquet appeared.
''Enough Marumaro.'' Shu said and Saber Tiger made a right turn.
''You all don't understand. We're trying to get more power.'' Marumaro said and Kristina made a right turn.
''Kristina?'' Jiro asked surprised.
''Hey, I've been trying to stop him Jiro.'' Kristina said still running.
Back at Ma and Pa's house...
''Now listen!'' Mama shouted. Zola was looking at the Extra Seven and Rikaru leaned against the wall next to her.
''When have I ever listened?'' Papa shouted until they both looked at Zola. They walked over to her with angry faces.
''I know why Marumaro is acting like this. Spending all this time with five humans and two werewolves must've made him that way!'' Mama shouted.
''I agree!'' Papa shouted and Rikaru sighed.
''What makes you so sure that we had anything to do with it?'' Rikaru asked.
''Don't even try accusing us of anything! Your leader here is the main one responsible!'' Mama shouted and Rikaru immediately shifted to his wolf form. He bared his fangs at them and they backed into a corner. His tail banged against the table which caused the Extra Seven to fall to the ground. Zola stood up and petted Rikaru's head to calm him down. He immediately stopped and blushed at the feel of her hand in his fur.
''You don't need to scare them Rikaru.'' Zola said and she sat back down. She picked up the Extra Seven from a different angle and her eyes widened as she looked over it.
Outside...
''Dammit Marumaro stop!'' Kristina shouted in her human form as she rode on Pegasus above them. Then Zola and Rikaru appeared.
''Actually let him keep going, but drive him into that canyon.'' Zola said and the others nodded. After they drove him into the canyon, they got back in the Mechat and flew overhead. Then after Marumaro gained more power they headed back to his village.
''Good luck out there son pa.'' Papa said.
''Thanks Papa.'' Marumaro said. Then the old lady returned and started chasing after Marumaro. Papa chased after her, Mama chased after Papa, and everyone else sweatdropped.
''He never learns.'' Kluke said and everyone nodded in agreement.
That's it everyone! Read and Review!
