A Dangerously Aggressive Reunion
Tohru's POV
A week later...
"Are you sure she's okay?" I asked, worried, clasping my hands together in front of my chest.
Kyo sighed for the fifth time that morning, "Yes, Tohru. She's doing perfectly fine." Kyo told me, sounding slightly exasperated.
"Oh, how do you know? She could be freezing, or starving, or worse!" I fretted.
"Tohru, she's fine, it was only a week ago that I saw her and when I saw her she was carrying a load of groceries, so I doubt she's starving. As for freezing, she's living in a house, she's fine." Kyo reassured.
That helped a little, but I couldn't help but worrying and fretting.
I grabbed the basket of clothing Kyo and I had been taking turns folding until the pile was completely folded, before balancing it on my hip, heading upstairs to Shigure's room.
Kyo stayed behind, shoving his clothing into the washing machine before rotating the launder, taking the wet clothing outside.
"I'll be right back, Kyo." I called, heading out the door. Kyo grunted in response. I walked to Shigure's room, rapping my knuckles on the door.
"Come in." Shigure's voice sounded.
I bumped the door open with my hip before entering. "Hello my little flower, what can I do for you?" Shigure said, lifting his gaze from his manuscript, pushing his glasses up his face.
"Oh, I just have laundry to drop off…would you like me to put it away, or do you have time?" I asked, politely.
Shigure smiled, waving a hand at me. "Go ahead and just put it over there by the bed, I'll do it myself later."
"Okay." I answer, following his orders, before leaving the room.
"See you, Tohru."
"Hai, Shigure-san." I replied, heading outside to help Kyo finish the laundry.
I passed by Yuki's room, the door was cracked open; I saw him in there. He was sitting at his desk, tapping his pencil on the desk, trying to do his homework. I smiled softly, before continuing on my way.
I stepped outside walking to where Kyo was standing, pinning up sheets. I noticed that he had not touched Yuki's clothes which were mixed into the basket.
"What took you so long?" Kyo demanded.
"Gomen-asi…Forgive me…" I bowed, jumping to apologize.
"No, it's okay…don't worry about it…" Kyo grumbled.
"Hai." I said sharply, going to pick out and hang up Yuki's white button up shirts.
"So, Kyo…You told me you know where Twilight lives?" I asked.
"Yea…" Kyo said cautiously. "But I told her I wasn't gonna tell anyone where she was at…"
"Oh…"I frowned disappointed. "I really want to see her…make sure she's okay…"
"Eh…Well I'm not so sure…She may not appreciate that…"
"I know, Kyo-kun…you're just being kind." I smiled, and Kyo's cheeks turned a light pink color.
"I'm not kind." He mumbled hiding behind a sheet.
I giggled quietly, pinning up another shirt. "I don't believe that, you're a very kind person."
He grumbled something to himself, turning away, embarrassed. I smiled warmly, before pinning up another article of clothing.
"Okay, I'll be back, I have to go shopping in Tokyo." I called, slipping on my coat and winter boats.
Surprisingly it's been a warm winter so far, and we've barely had any snow, as of today there's only maybe an inch covering the ground.
"Why are you going back to Tokyo?" Kyo asked, coming around a corner. "I just went there for you last week."
I smiled politely. "I know, and thank you, but I've run out of a few other things I need, but I'll be back to make dinner, I shouldn't be gone long."
"Ms. Honda, you shouldn't go alone, Tokyo's a dangerous place and it gets dark faster now." Yuki said, showing up behind Kyo, who looked about ready to hiss at him, but he just moved to the side, mumbling something along the lines of "damn rat"
"Oh no, it'll be okay, I've gone many times on my own, and never once had I been in danger." I said determined. "I'll be fine, promise; I don't want to bother any of you, I know you're all busy, so I'll be back real soon so you don't worry about me."
"I don't know…" Yuki said skeptically. "I'm pretty much done with my homework anyways, why don't you let me come?" He said stepping towards me.
"Oh no! I couldn't possibly allow you to do!" I said, starting to spaz. "I'll be fine, I promise! Please don't worry about me." I said rushing out the door. "Be back soon!" I called over my shoulder as I left the Sohma's yard.
"That girl…" Kyo sighed, turning around and going back into the house.
Yuki watched me until I disappeared out of sight, then I don't know what he did, but probably went back into the house too.
I walk down the Sohma's road, heading for the bus stop, smiling as I thought about how lucky I am to have so many people care for me.
I waited at the bus stop for a few minutes, until the city bus showed up; I boarded it, payed the toll before taking a seat next to a window and stared out of it, until I reached my destination.
The entire half hour ride there, I went over and over the list of supplies that I needed to pick up.
The bus stopped and I got off, stepping into the busy streets of Tokyo.
I walked to the bus stop, I had bought all the things I needed to get and I was walking down the mostly empty streets of Tokyo now, humming to myself. Night had already fallen, the air was growing crisp, and I could already see my breath.
I shivered slightly, but not really from the cold. The big jacket I wore kept me plenty warm, but from the way the darkness seemed to engulf everything, even though there were street lights.
I continue to walk towards the bus stop which was still a good five blocks away. I turned left into an alley, planning to skip over a street so I'd get there faster. As I got farther into the alley, it got darker and seemingly colder. I shivered again, picking up my pace, before I heard a threatening growl behind me.
I froze, turning around slowly, to see three huge, hungry, ravenous wolves.
Twilight's P.o.V.
I have no idea why I decided to randomly take a walk at night around Tokyo, really, I have no idea. I just had this weird feeling, so I decided to go for a walk and since I was going on this walk I thought I might as well pick up some candles since I was running low.
I sighed to myself, looking up into the sky at the twinkling stars. Should I go back? I mean…he did sorta, kinda, maybe apologize…and he said that they were worried about me…no, no…I should go back, I'll get caught my Akito…but I can't keep running away from him like a scared little child, Im not that little ten year old anymore, I've grown and I'm stronger than him.
That you are… The voice whispered.
That's not what I meant…but…I just don't know what to do…
"Hey watch we're your going." Said a teenage boy about the age of 16 as he bumped into me purposely, laughing to his friend as they walked by.
Poof.
"Idiots," I muttered to myself, grabbing my clothes, now in my wolf form, dashing into the bush.
The boy looked back. "Hey she's gone."
"Wow."
I smirked, waiting for them to turn back around. I could have a little fun with this…
I stepped out of the bush, running up behind them to stop, and snarl at them, growling loudly, and showing my sharp canine teeth.
They slowly turned around and looked at me.
"Aw, such cute puppy." One of the boys said laughing, while the other one tried to kick.
I snarled, latching onto the boy's ankle biting hard. He yowled at the top of his lungs, shaking his leg.
I growled, gnawing on his leg.
"LET GO YOU STUPID ANIMAL!" The boy screamed as the other teenager came up and tried to grab me by the scruff of the neck.
I let go of the boy's leg, arching back to turn around and bite the boys hand as he howled in pain.
I growled and barked viciously, as one of the boys took off running and screaming. The boy whose hand was currently in my mouth was trying to yank it out. He hit me with his other hand to try and distract me.
I growled in low in my throat, knocking the boy over pinning him down. My lips curled back in a snarl and I barked at him, and he whimpered saying "Please don't kill me."
I snarled at him, and then said, "Watch where you're going."
I snapped my jaws in front of his face, before running off down the street as he scrambled from the sidewalk to scream and run after his friend.
"Heh, heh, heh." I chuckled to myself, trotting along happily.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLP!!!! GOD SOMEONE HELP ME! HELP! AAAAAAAH~!" I heard a female scream at the top of her lungs.
I stopped, ears pricking forward as I sniffed the ear, and my eyes widened. It couldn't be…
I took off at a full sprint towards where I heard the cry and where the scent was coming from. It led to me to a dark alley way, I trotted in cautiously as I heard more screaming and growling. My eyes adjusted to the darkness and I sure enough I saw Tohru standing up on a dumpster, three wolves trying to get to her.
"HELP! SOMEONE HELP!"
I snarled, growling loudly to get the wolves attention and even Tohru looked at me, obviously not recognizing me, because she looked even more frightened.
I growled diving for the nearest wolf, which was a dark brown one. I snapped at their legs as they fought back trying to get my neck. I growl, dodging their attacks, managing to get a hind leg between my jaws. I bite down hard and the wolf howled in pain, just as the one of the other wolves came to help their companion. This wolf was a dark and light gray color, give way to the fact that they were older and probably on their last leg.
I growled, slashing at them with my hind leg, scratching their muzzle. They yowled, snarling at me, before jumping on my back. I bit down on the brown wolfs leg, shaking my head as I tossed them to the side. I rolled over as the dog on my back bit the back of my neck.
That got them to let go, and I scrambled up quickly putting a paw down on the gray old wolves neck, snarling, before sinking my teeth into their muzzle as they tried to snap at me. They whimpered and the brown wolf came up behind me, biting my hind leg and I yowled letting go of the old wolf. I rounded on the brown wolf, lip curled back in a snarl as I tackled them, biting for their neck. They fought against me as I bit and chewed at any skin I could get at.
The old wolf snuck up behind me, but I kicked my hind legs at them, catching them squarely on the side. The old wolf skidded away, whimpering quietly to itself.
I continued to snarl viciously at the brown wolf, before getting a goo grip on its neck, shaking back and forth. The wolf clawed at howled at me, trying to bit me back. I mercilessly bit at the wolfs neck until the old wolf bit my tail and I let go howling as I snapped at the old wolf as they backed away missing my jaws by two inches.
The two wolves tackled me, pinning me down and I latched onto the old wolf's ear, pulling hard and biting as hard as I could. The old wolf backed off for a minute to clean his bleeding ear as the brown wolf tried to bite at my neck. I snarled kicking the wolf off me. The brown wolf skidded to a stop a few feet away from me and we took stances, bearing our teeth at each other, snarling. I sprung forward the same time they did and we met in the middle clashing upon our hind legs. I viciously went straight for their already bleeding neck; I got a grip easily, shaking my head, growling.
"AHHHH-!" Tohru cried as the last black wolf finally jumped up on the dumpster. I took this wolf as being the leader since they hadn't jumped in to help their other companions.
The black wolf growled at Tohru stepping closer and closer, backing her up into a corner.
"HELP!"
I let go of the wolfs neck and just as the black wolf lunged for Tohru I jumped up on the dumpster in front of her, knocking the black wolf off, and we tumbled to the ground with a lot of growling and snarling.
The black wolf howled in frustration then tackled me pinning me down to the ground before savagely attack my neck.
I growled, kicking trying to get the black wolf off me. I snarled trying to bit the black wolf back in any place I could reached.
I kicked the wolf in the stomach and they yowled letting go of me and I rolled over quickly taking them with me, I scratched and bit back, now having the upper hand.
The wolf barked in a short series, commanding the other two wolves and they ambushed me jumping on top as one bit my leg.
I kicked out my uninjured hind leg before the brown wolf could get a good grip and I nailed them in the stomach, and the brown wolf flew back hitting the brick wall not two feet from us.
I snarled loudly as the old wolf clawed at my back, I yelped, reaching back to gash the side of the old wolfs head with my sharp canines. The old wolf yelped and I jumped around making sure to dig my claws deep into the black wolfs belly below me. I then jumped at the old wolf, standing on my hind legs to create long bigger gashes in the black wolfs belly.
The black wolf howled in pain, trying to scramble up from under me, but I dug my claws into their belly more, making it impossible for the black wolf to move much. I batted the old wolf away, lunging for their neck, getting a piece of skin in between my teeth before ripping it off as more blood splattered to the ground.
The old wolf whimpered, backing off, before running away down the alley way, blood leaving a trail.
I snarled as the black wolf tried to move again digging my claws into their belly. I flipped around, and then said in wolf language, "Go away, never come back, and leave this girl alone and any other people, because I will find out, and I will come back and kill you."
The wolves yelped and I stepped off the black one and both the brown and black took off running down the alley way. I limped to the side, bending down to lick my back leg and chest before limping over to Tohru. She stared down at me, terrified.
"It's okay Tohru; It's just me, Twilight."
Tohru gasped. "Twilight?!" She jumped down from the dumpster. "Oh my gawd, are you okay? You're bleeding. We need to get you to the doctor!" She spazed.
I chuckled. "Where you gonna take me? The vet? And besides I'll be fine, we can go to my house, I have some medical supplies there."
"O-o-okay, do you have a phone, so I can call Shigure-san, to let them know I'm okay…"
I grimaced. "Ah, sorry about that, No I don't…"
"Oh that's okay…I just hope they don't worry too much about me." Tohru said as we walked out of the alleyway.
We made small talk as I led her to my house in the forest, hopping that I wouldn't transform back because I lost my clothes.
"So I'm glad you've been okay, I've been pretty worried." Tohru said.
"Yea, I've been doing well enough." I answered as I led her up the house.
"Wow, this is a pretty big home. How'd you get it?" Tohru asked as we walked up the porch.
"It was inherited to me—" I froze, and then growled lowly. "Tohru, walk into the house, close the door and lock it. Don't come out till I say something."
"W-why?!" She stuttered.
"Just do it!" I commanded.
"O-Okay." She walked into the house and I heard the locks slide into place.
I pushed myself against the shadowed wall and jumped off the deck running into the bare bushes where somebody hid.
I growled threateningly snarling as I blindly attacked the person.
"H-h-hey! Bad dog! S-stop it!" A male voice sounded.
I stopped. "Y-Yuki?!"
"E-eh?" Yuki said looking up at me. "Twilight?"
"What are you doing here?! How did you find this place? Is Kyo around? He told you where I was didn't he?!"
"No, Um, I followed Tohru, and Kyo didn't tell me where this is." Yuki answered quickly. "Why are you in your wolf form?"
I sighed, "C'mon." I said leading the way to the door. I scratched on the front door. "Tohru, open the door; false alarm."
The locks slide open and she peaked out the door. "Yuki?!"
"Hello Ms. Honda." Yuki said weakly, as I trotted into the house.
"Okay, I'll be right back, you two wait there; I should change: back soon." I called over my shoulder, limping up the stairs and that's when Yuki noticed the blood clinging to my fur.
"Oh my…what happened?!" He asked, turning to Tohru, who began to relate the story.
I went upstairs to my room, kicking the door closed with my front paws, waiting to for the transformation back.
I limped down the stairs ten minutes later, carrying a first aid kit. Yuki and Tohru were still standing in the entry way as I walked past them to the kitchen where I had first treated Kyo last weekend. They followed me in there. I set the kit on the counter, hopping up on it to take out a long bandage, bandage up my ankle in gauze.
"Hey tohru, will you come clean out the wound on my neck?" I asked. She nodded, walking over to take out some Polysporin. She soaked a cotton ball in the liquid then pressed it to the wound on my neck. It stung and I gritted my teeth as she worked.
Once the wound was cleaned out she threw the cotton ball in the garbage that was sitting the corner by the door. "Anything else?"
"Yea I've got some bad claw marks on my back. Yuki, if you don't mind?"
"Ah, yea, sure…" He said, walking out of the kitchen, leaving the swinging door to swing back and forth. I jumped down from the counter, and then sat down backwards on a chair, pulling up my shirt to reveal the nasty claw marks.
Tohru went to work cleaning and bandaging them up.
"Does it hurt?"
"yea." I replied.
"Thank you for saving me."
"No problem." I answered. "Those wolves are bullies, always have been."
"You know them?"
"Kinda, they're famous in the wolf world around here, but I've never heard of them actually attacking someone in public; strange, really."
"Ah…Okay…"
Silence settled between us again until Tohru spoke again. "Are you gonna come back?" She asked quietly.
"I don't know…" I replied. "Does anyone really want me back?"
"Of course! We all miss you. We're all worried about you." Tohru exclaimed.
I gnawed on my bottom lip. "I'm still not sure…"
"Twilight, please." Tohru begged. "I really wanna get to know you…I wanna be able to be here for you, I wanna be someone you can talk to no matter what. I want you to be able to trust me."
I kept quiet, but thought to myself,What if I can't ever trust you? What if I won't be able to do those things…would you get mad at me, hate me? Guess there's only one way to find out…
"Okay…I'll come back…but I won't promise I'll stay permanently." I said slowly.
I could practically feel Tohru's smile radiating from behind me. "YAY!" She cheered. "This is gonna be great! We're gonna be great friends!" She said happily.
I grimaced to myself, but she didn't notice. Maybe…
