"Bombay, " Youji hissed, " What are you doing?"
"Wanted to see if it was faking, " Omi answered, " You never know. Animals are very intelligent." He added.
" Yeah, " Youji turned to say something to Aya, but his jade green eyes widened to see the swordsman walk the rest of the way nearer to the werewolf, and cautiously put his hand on its snout. It snarled, and tried to pull away, apprehensive at first, maybe even scared, but Aya calmly kept his hand there, starting to stroke gently, gazing levelly at it. Surprisingly enough, the monster subsided, lowering its head as far as the wires would allow, submitting to the caress. The two blondes looked on in shock and wonder.
" I guess he proved dominant over it" Omi breathed quietly.
"Heh, the guy can tame werewolves that are bent on dismembering him, and he still hides from the fangirls." Youji muttered, slowly getting over the shock. Omi couldn't help but laugh quietly at the taller boy's comment. Aya shot them both one of his respect, nay, scratch that, fear inspiring death glares. Both young and old ones meeped and backed off. What the boys had failed to notice in their banter was that it was getting quite close to dawn. The light of false dawn streamed in through the open door, a beam fell on the imprisioned wolf, causing it to raise its head. And it started to howl.
