Night of the Wolf

I took a quick glance behind me and tried to forget my encounter with Kouga. He said it straight to my face. We were definitely over, and nothing is ever going to change that. And here I thought there was going to be a slight chance that we could be together again, but fat chance, it'll take a miracle to change Kouga's mind. Whatever his reason was, it was a strong one.

I looked at my car and decided to leave it. My car wasn't important to me, nothing is anymore. So I walked home, more like ran home. I wasn't capable on running such a long distance before but now everything was possible for me.

As I reached home I ripped off the 'Home sweet Home' sign and barged in. But before I walked in, so I wouldn't make it quite obvious, I stretched turning my head a bit gazing out of the corner of my eye and saw two unfamiliar people which were following me ever since I left Kouga's place. I shrugged it off and walked in making sure that the door was securely locked for my protection.

I shook my head pretty embarrassed at myself. This place was a dump but lucky me it didn't smell like one. I began cleaning, that is, until I got bored and just settled on watching t.v.

My appetite soon came and I was yearning for fresh meat. I could smell it in my fridge so I took no time to rush off towards it.

I opened the refrigerator and stuffed my head in and there it was. I sank my teeth in it but I spit it out since the beef was expired. I was yearning for meat so badly and It sucked that I couldn't get any, well here that is. I could always go out and find some.

It devastated me that I could sniff some out but I couldn't see it and sink my claws in it. I watched intently as my fingernails grew sharply and I didn't dare believe it. Maybe my hunger was causing me to see things but I know very well that mirrors don't lie when they show you your fangs increasing in size and your eyes turning to a faint white.

I felt like I had gone through this before. It seemed perfectly normal to me but I couldn't believe it since I dreamt about this last night. Or was it even a dream? I choose to ignore it since I knew it couldn't be. Kouga could be a ..wolf but not me. Why me, anyway? Besides I had to be bitten to become such a thing.

"Oh please, don't try lying to yourself. Just accept it. You're one of us."

How did they get in? The same people that had been following me were right behind me laughing their head offs. Their scent was very familiar and was all around the room.

I recognized one of them. It was Naraku. He was wearing a lengthy, black cloak. He hadn't removed the cloak from his head but I easily recognized his scent, it sickened me. As for the other one I didn't know who it was but I did know that it was a she.

Naraku stepped up to me and cocked his head to a side and smirked reaching a hand to me. I was somewhat hypnotized by him since I couldn't move my body but I wanted to run. His hand cupped under my chin and he brought my face to his, inspecting me. His other hand opened my mouth observing my incisors which were slowly enhancing and his fingertips then ran softly over my pointed ears.

The woman just stood there and watched. She never budged from her former place but I could see her eyes glowing within the dark cloak; she was furious, I could tell. Naraku released me from his hold dropping me to the floor and I just slow stepped backwards.

"Where you running off to? It's no use, no one would help you in this state and you can't even cry for help." The woman softly spoke and she moved near me.

I tried to scream but she was right. I couldn't yell. I couldn't speak. I was--

"You're mute." She informed.

I attempted to speak but the only thing that escaped my lips were growls and whimpers.

"Naraku, this was not suppose to happen. Why does she turn into a half wolf rather that a full one?"

"I am not sure…she--"

"She is still part human! She gained every other characteristics except the form I wanted her to obtain. You were suppose to make her weak you imbecile, not physically powerful."

I had no idea what they were talking about. I knew it was about me but they didn't seem to like what they saw.

I glanced around and tried to see where I could escape from. My window was open so in one quick movement I ran and jumped out but Naraku grabbed me by my leg and pulled me back in.

"I told you it was useless."

The Ayame person removed her cloak and her green shimmering eyes stared into my now white ones. She raised an eyebrow as she looked me over.

"Claws, fangs, eyes, pointed ears and even a fuzzy tail. However, there's no fur, no hind legs, and no snout. My plan didn't go as plan but I guess this'll do. I still have the ability to control you anyway so its' good enough for me."

"But Ayame, the bite I gave her was suppose to do what?"

"She was suppose to turn into a wolf in the moonlight and remain an animal forever without the ability of shape shifting back into human but you had to ruin it all."

Naraku didn't appear to like being called an idiot but it was like this Ayame person had some kind of power over him and he did nothing but obey.

"Ayame, on these two past days there hasn't been a full moon."

"Oh right, my mistake. Guess you have brains after all Naraku."

They kept chattering on and on about what they had done to me. So in my understanding I'm going to turn part wolf everyday at any given moment until there's a full moon and I then would convert into a full wolf. I'm stronger than what I was suppose to be so that's a good thing so far. She has control over me but I'm not sure what that means, so far the only thing she has control over me is my voice. Since Naraku is a werewolf I'm guessing she is one as well, an evil one, if I may add.

What I didn't understand was why me? I've never met them before in my life but they sure knew a lot about me and they had a huge hatred towards me.

If I'm as strong as they say I am then I can take them both.

Since Naraku was holding me upside down by my leg I kicked him with my free one and ran my claws over his chest before he reacted. He growled but Ayame stopped him before he decided to attack me. As she reached the ground she was on all fours barking furiously. Her green eyes blazed burning into mine and she charged towards me.

I fell on my back with her on top of me, my forearm was across her neck trying to keep her mouth from reaching my face. My other hand kept her body from mine so her paws wouldn't sink into my flesh. Both our growls were loud and full of hate for each other. She was stronger than me and I was giving in until Naraku shouted for her to halt.

"Ayame! That's enough. Know your limits."

In a sudden blink she was in her human form and her hand found my neck. She submerged her claws into my bitten mark and I did nothing but howl in pain.

"I'd do anything to kill you, bitch, but I would never ruin it for Kouga and me just because of you."

Was I hearing correctly? Did she mention Kouga? Kouga and her?

She moved off of me and dusted herself as Naraku placed her cloak on her.

I merely stayed in the position she had left me in and pondered if she was lying. I wondered how she knew Kouga. Was she the reason why Kouga didn't love me anymore?

"Don't make it hard on yourself, you heard correctly. The reason why Kouga doesn't love you is because he wants to be with mua."

She placed her hand on her chest as she gestured to herself. I sat up slowly and ignored her, besides I couldn't say anything to her, I was mute, but my expression told it all.

"Don't you dare tell Kouga I came to see you--oh wait, you can't speak and he wants nothing with you so there's nothing I should worry about…"

I gritted my teeth together, my claws sinking into the carpet. I can't believe this is all her fault.

"…just a warning before I depart, from now on, any time you try get close to Kouga you'll turn into this BUT you'll have no control and you'll do nothing else but kill him with you're bare hands. Simple as that. Ta-ta."

She vanished and I was back to my normal self. My voice returned but I had nothing to say over the matter. I pulled my legs close to my chest and buried my face in my knees and cried. That was the only thing I could do, cry.

What I didn't understand though was if she had Kouga why turn me into this? Being a wolf only made me stronger and a bit more like Kouga's equal.

A/N: Hope you're enjoying the story so far. I know I'm having fun writing it. Hope it keeps you wanting more.

I started on a new fic last night so I'll probably won't update this fic as quickly as I used to. I guess it also depends if my other fic is any good. It's a Marron/ Trunks fic for the Dragonball Z fans out there. Take a peek if you'll want, the first chapter doesn't say much but it's allright.

Thanks to the following people for reviewing Ch.6:
