Author's notes:
I am SO HAPPEE! I have twelve reviews and I love it!
Angel Reaper: I know it was obvious, I meant for it to be. TK and Matt aren't going to find out about each other for a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time. Hey, I haven't included Tai, Kari, or Davis in, and they're gonnabe main characters. I also have some OC's to add in, plus the parents. Don't be impatient.
Cheese Man: I'm glad to see you're so enthusiastic. Nice name, by the way.
Kraven the Hunter: TK's got a way to go before he fully changes. I'll explain more later.
Candy Angel: Same to you as what I said to Cheese Man.
Silent Shadow: I'm glad somebody's confused, hopefully more then I am. I'm not sure what's going to happen in this chapter. I only started writing it to thank you guys. ; )
Lord of the Potatoes: Guess what! This iis/i an update! Great name.
EllaJ.W: I'm glad you like my fic; I'm a HUUUUUGE fan of yours!
krylancelo, seadragon1012, and Alene Deirbre: Glad it's likeable. Here we go!!!
Takeru's POV:
It's quiet. I can't sleep. I feel like I had lots and lots of caffeine or something, but I haven't. I wish I knew what was going on. Half my bed is covered in blood from the dog bite. Why would it only bleed now, when I got it an entire month ago? It didn't bleed then.
Just when I decide I'll get up and get Mom to do something, I hear a low growl. Now I'm scared. But being the mature four-year-old I am, I don't scream for help. I do the logical thing and hide under the covers. The growling's stopped, but I don't come out. I can hear something breathing, and it's really close. I'm not scared anymore: I'm terrified.
Suddenly, the covers aren't there. I see in front of me the big black dog that's been following me. His big yellow eyes are mean looking, and he's growling again.
*Get up kid.*
My eyes widen. The dog just talked to me. Not the semi-understanding I've been having with the dogs I meet on the street, this dog's actually using words. I suddenly remember Cerebus, who spoke to me in a similar way, but his.voice, for lack of a better word, seemed slightly higher pitched, and friendlier. Much, much friendlier. I finally manage to choke out a "Wha..?"
The dog growls louder. *You heard me boy, now get up.*
Feeling this is not a good person to be arguing with, I stumble off the bed. The dog follows.
*Good, you can understand me. I was afraid her majesty chose a stupid one. * Once again, I try to speak, but he cuts me off. *Don't say a thing. Just get some warmer clothes on and follow me. Word of advice kid; I don't like humans. Until you do something spectacular, you're no exception. *
I quickly change out of my pajamas and get some warm clothes on.
The dog heads to the door. *Don't just stand there gaping; follow me, baka! And don't you dare call in that mother of yours. I'm much stronger then she, and though I don't kill, I'm very good at mauling. *
I find myself with no choice. I follow the dog out of the apartment and into the dark night. It's about midnight now, and I'm glad the dog told me to dress warmly, because I'm still cold. Eventually the dog gets fed up with me lagging behind and I get to ride on his back. He takes me down the city streets where two other dogs are waiting. I recognized them from my previous encounter a month ago. The first comes running up to us, tongue lolling out from the left side of his mouth. He looks a lot like the dog I'm on, but smaller and friendlier. I think he's a puppy.
The two dogs exchange some sort of odd greeting, not the sniffing of butts like other dogs, but a friendly rub of cheeks. The older, larger dog I'm still on top of does this a bit stiffly, but his eyes soften. I come much later to see that look again, both from my brother around me, and this dog around the smaller one.
The large dog slid me off his back and left to join the other dog, who was even bigger then he was. They passed the greeting, and sat down, apparently talking. Meanwhile, the puppy walked up to me. *Hiya TK! Remember me? *
I blinked. "Cer.Cerebus, right?"
He positively beamed at me. His tail wagged enthusiastically and his tongue lolled out. "Yep! That's me!" He rubbed his cheek against mine. "Nice to see you again."
The last dog finished its conversation with the first one, and struggled to its feet. I gasped at the sight. It was the very first of the dogs I had seen, the one who bit me. She called out. *Cerebus! Go join Sirius. Wait for me to get back. *
Cerebus yelped and ran over to the first dog. The large dog walked slowly to me, growling all the while.
Ooh, another cliffy! Am I evil or what?
