And here I am again, writing this new part of my ever-nutso story. this one takes a bit of a different spin from the others.
---===*===---
Quatre returned home fairly late that night, but none of the others were asleep yet. Duo was sitting on the couch in the living room, staring down at his hands, and for the first time in a long while, he was completely silent. Wufei was in the armchair across the room, reading a book, and taking immense pleasure in the rare peace and quiet. Trowa and Heero were lost in a game of chess on the coffeetable, Heero was black, and Trowa was white, and from the looks of it, this game would end in a stalemate. Quatre walked in, brushing the last of the dried grass from his sand-colored shirt, and sat down crosslegged on the floor. "Where were you?" Wufei asked, looking up from his book. Quatre just shook his head, not really feeling like answering that question.
It wasen't long after that the boys retired for the night, all feeling the weight of their secrets heavily on them. But, as it is when the mind is occupied, neither Duo, nor Heero could sleep. The others tossed and turned, while these two prowled the house. Duo leaned against a wall, taking a morbid sense of security in the absolute blackness, that even his supernatural vision could not pierce. But though the light was gone, his hearing was fine tuned, and it is due to this that he heard Heero approaching from behind.
Heero stalked throught the house silently, the only light coming from the little glow ball that hovered inches above his hand. The apprentice mage glared out at the dark, then the only light he saw, around the corner, the barest flick of a chestnut braid, streaked with copper and gold, then it was gone. Heero raised an eyebrow, wondering what on earth the young American would be doing up at this time. An odd sense of curiosity stole over the Japanese youth, and he tread after the vampire, though he did not know it.
Duo saw the light out of the corner of one violet eye, and he spun around angrily. Heero did not have time to diminish the glow ball, before Duo saw, as Duo did not have time to hide his fangs. The two boys stared at eachother in plain horror, and fear danced in their eyes. Quatre's fox hearing picked up on the noise, while Wufei's fae sense nagged at his mind, sending both boys after the cause of their awakening.
The four boys met in the centre of the small house, Heero's glow ball still shining bright amber. Quatre's foxy ears stuck out from his pale blonde hair, and Wufei's hands ended in brilliant, hard black claws. "We need to talk." Heero said after a moment, and the others agreed fearfully. While mages, like Heero, may sometimes tolerate vampires, the changlings and shifters, like Wufei and Quatre, rarely do, and would sooner kill them than make friends, believeing they are true evil, and minions of the Pattern Breaker, and opposing the true power of Gaia.
But, what of Trowa. He stumbled down the stairs, grumbling bad-naturedly about having being awoken at such an hour. Forgetting momentarily about his affliction, he turned on the light in the living room. Quatre perched on the end of the couch, his pointed ears sticking in the air. Wufei, pacing the corner, his clawed hands all too visible. Duo hissed angrily, his deadly fangs glittering white. And Heero's glow ball still there, though, nearly invisible in the brighter neon light. The greatest shock of all came then, though, after it all, nothing was much of a surprise to the war and secret hardened soldiers. For that shock was......
Trowa had a bear's ears.
---===*===---
ha! betcha didnt expect that, didja? so, to recap,
Duo; brujah vampire
Wufei; fae (changeling)
Heero; a mage
Quatre; a cute Kitsune (( =_= ))
Trowa; a Gurahl (bear shifter, hehe)
and in following chapters, I will prolly have a few cameo appearances by my own WhiteWolf characters, so please dont take them, as it took me a long time to make them.
