Chapter 7
"My lord! My lord!!" A young human male called as he raced into the room. Twoeye so pale a blue they looked silver turned to regard the human with annoyance.
"Why have you disturbed me?" The man asked, his voice a low rumble. The human dropped into a low bow.
"My lord, Chacs is dead." The human stated, his voice trembling slightly in fear. Silver eyes blazed;
"WHAT?" the man growled; near by an enormous wolf raised its head and bared its teeth at the offending human.
"Lord Chacs has been slain, my lord…his soul has been ripped from his body…and his body is in ruins…it looks like it was mauled by an animal."
Silver eyes flared with fury; the human let out a terrified shriek as the black wolf leapt on him, tearing him to pieces. The Lord looked at the wolf;
"I could have used him still, Fenris," The wolf glanced at the tall blonde man beside him,
"If you wanted him to live, you should have stated that sooner, Loki," Fenris snorted, giving the evil trickster god a long disapproving look, "Really father, it's just a human; there are thousands in this world."
Loki rolled his silver eyes at theman sized wolf, "We have bigger problems to face, Fenris," he stated, is annoyance coming back into his voice. Fenris tilted his head to the side, giving his father a puzzled look.
"The news that human brought, troubles you," he stated, "We both knew Chacs tactics would eventually get him killed by one of the higher beings."
"It is not his death that troubles me, son of mine; it is the method of which he died." Loki replied, his silver eyes starred at the opposite wall with cold intelligence; "Chacs was destroyed because his soul was ripped from his body and destroyed…that's why he did not return to me. There are very few being now that could possibly destroy a god of Chacs caliber. Most of the beings that could do such a thing are currently sleeping in the Void. Which leaves the only Realm connected to this one…Hell. Something from Hell is here…a demon…but which one? What demon would Lucifer send to earth...?"
"Why would the Lord of Lies send a demon to earth…does he intend to oppose you?"
"Perhaps…it is hard to tell with him…he has always been an unpredictable god to deal with…and now that he has that vixen Nyx as his mate…it is really had to determine his motivations. The Lord and Lady of Darkness are formidable…their moods changes like the shadows in a candle flame….it is best to be cautious until we decide what Lucifer is planning." Loki stated, sprawling across his throne-like chair, the fireplaces flames casting eerie shadows around the dark room. "Take a couple of your best men, Fenris, and sweep the area…listen for anything amusing."
"Of course, my lord."Fenris replied, now in the form of a tall athletic youth with shaggy black hair and yellow eyes. He bowed and left his fathers presence.
Loki glared into the fires, flames dancing in his pale eyes, "What are you planning Lucifer…why do you oppose me?"

Meanwhile…..deep in the forests of Sanq
A white wolf slowed to a stop, her body was suddenly rigid with tension. There was a strange scent on the wind…she couldn't place it. It smelled familiar…yet there was something mixed with the scent that warned of danger. A slightly smaller golden-tan wolf came to stand next to her bond-mate; she too scented the strange thing on the wind. A harder gush of wind blew through the trees, bringing a stronger scent to the wolf's keen noses. They immediately smelt blood…whatever this creature was it was wounded…and even more dangerous. The golden took several deep breaths…why was that scent so familiar? It smelled of ice and lavender…images flashed in her mind…violet eyes, laughter…. The gold wolf's ears perked up as she suddenly remember that scent… She threw a look back at her mate; then took off in the direction of the scent. With a confused look, the white wolf followed its crazed mate.
They ran for about a mile when they finally came upon the prone figure laying on the forest floor, their life's blood seeping into the pine needle covers earth. The golden wolf stalked closer to the figure…they were familiar and a friend but still injured, and all injured animals were known to be dangerous. Even her beloved mate was known to snap at her when injured; then again she did that anyway…
The white wolf approached the injured creature confidently; she was dominate here and no one trespassed on her land. She glared at the form of the injured animal…or rather human? No; that wasn't right either, it didn't smell human. She glanced back at her mate, her head cocked to the side in a silent question;
Is it edible? The white wolf asked; her icy blue eyes puzzled. Dark blue eyes rolled, as the gold wolf growled,
It's Shini you dolt! No she is not edible!
But…
No.
Please…
No.
Lena…
No!
Fine…what are you going to do with it then?
The gold wolf glared, WE take her home! This time the white wolf rolled her eyes;
Oh alright…I won't eat her and we can take her home…
She's gonna kill you when she wakes up…
The white wolf snorted and gentlyshe nuzzled the cool form on the ground, she could barely hear the beat of a heart in its chest. As gently as possible she grabbed one of the human's arms in her jaws and lifted up enough to shift her body under the human. The golden wolf helped position the human comfortabley on her mates back.
Comfortable? She said cheerfully, the white wolf snarled,
I don't see you luggin' her around… The white wolf growled as they began the slow trek back to their home.
Come now Cat, it ain't that bad…
Dawn was lighting the horizon as the two tired wolves arrived at the hidden door to their home. Quickly the golden wolf nudged a seemingly random rock and the trunk of the tree moved revealing a dark passage. Quickly, sensing full dawn approaching, the two wolves entered the opening; the door whooshed shut behind them, then the floor began to descend. When the tree/elevator opened again; two naked young women stepped out carrying the injured form of another woman between them. Quickly they made their way to the passage that led to the bedrooms.
"Lena," the pale blonde woman said, "get me several clean towels, thread, needle, cleaning solution, and bandages." The golden haired girl, nodded once before slipping to the door.
"Pagan…" she called, "Could you bring me some towels, bandages, needle, thread and some cleaning solution please?"
"Of course, Relena." The elder man said, now use to Miss Relena's strange requests once a month.
Dorothy dragged her friend's prone body into the bathroom and as gently as possible, dumped her into the tub.
"Damn, Shin…what the hell did you get into?" She muttered as she quickly cut the girl's clothing off her. She hissed at the state of her friend; multiple lacerations, bullet wounds…wait what the hell? An arrow? Who the hell uses arrows anymore?
"How is she, Cat?" Relena asked, carrying in the materials Dorothy had requested.
"She got the shit beat outa her…but she's alive…barely." She replied, truly amazed that their friend was still alive….then again, this was Shinigami…and she wasn't human.
"Damn, she's pale…she's practically translucent!" Relena muttered; her protective instincts begging to bubble to the surface. Whoever had done this had worked Shini over really good….and if they weren't dead now, then if she ever found them…they would wish they were.
"She's lost a lot of blood…her human body should have died…" Dorothy stated, indicating the numerous wounds that were scattered across the girl's chest; "Even she should have been killed by this…how the hell did she live?"
"Who the hell knows, Cat…this is Shini after all….she ain't like most people." Relena replied, "Though, she's going to need to feed soon, if she's gonna heal."
Dorothy sighed, "You don't happen to have anyone you want to get rid of do you?"
Relena snorted, "Shit, girl…I have plenty fat fools I would love to kill…but if they suddenly disappeared there would be a huge international scandal…and I REALLY don't want to deal with that."
"That's what I figured you would say…so which of us wants to open a vein for her?" Dorothy asked, "Never mind…you have a meeting tomorrow night so you can't do it….I guess I will then…" Relena disappeared, only to reappear seconds later holding a large hunting knife. "Here love…this way you don't have to make the cut more then once."
"Shini...Duo…whatever the hell she calls herself now had better appreciate this…." Dorothy growled softly as she placed the tip of the blade against her own pale skin. She drew the blade along her wrist for about an inch; hissing softly as it began to burn from the high silver concentration in the blade. Bright red blood welled to the surface and began to run down her arm. Dorothy wrapped an arm around Shini's shoulders and lifted the unconscious girl up, pressing the wound to her mouth. For a few seconds nothing happened; then Shini's lips latched onto the wound, her clawed hands coming up to grip Dorothy's wrist. The blonde haired woman moaned softly; it felt strangely erotic to have Shini nursing her wrist…
Relena watched, licking her lips hungrily. The human in her was slightly revolted at the scene playing out in her bathroom…however the wolf enjoyed the show her mate was putting on.
Finally Dorothy removed her wrist from Shini's grasp; "That's enough for now…we wouldn't want to bleed me out now would you?" She asked; as if Shini could really respond in the condition she was in.
"She looks better already." Relena muttered, watching in slight awe as Shinigami's skin grew opaque again and actually began to darken into a tan. She blinked as Shini's form seemed to waver slightly; then a very normal looking human girl was lying in Dorothy's arms.
"Hmmm….haven't seen her do that before…"
"It's normal with creatures like her I hear." Dorothy replied, picking their now wet and mostly healed friend up, and heading into the bedroom; the wound on her wrist already beginning to heal, "It's kind of like us, when we get seriously hurt in wolf form we eventually change back into humans….well it's a similar concept. She used up pretty much all of the energy she had stored, so now she's practically human; but with time and rest she'll be better in a couple weeks."
"Oh, since when did you become an expert on demonic transformation, especially dealing with those of the royal line?" Relena asked sarcastically as they maneuvered the unconscious girl into some sleeping shorts and tank-top (both black mind you). Dorothy grinned, "You would be surprised at the things I know, love." She said as they lay Shini in Relena's king sized bed and crawled in next to her, adding their warmth and energy to the wounded goddess.
"You know Cat, I wouldn't be surprised…I really wouldn't be surprised…" Relena muttered as sleep claimed her and her mate.

(Quatre's POV)
"Alright, Winner;" Wufei stated when they all had arrived at the new safe house, "What the hell happened back there?"
I blinked, my mind was a bit fuzzy at the moment; hell it had been fuzzy ever since we had left that base. It had takenus forever to find our gundams since Duo had decided to cloak all the mechas when he cloaked Deathscythe…how he managed to do that was a mystery since Heero didn't remember them going to the gundams. Once found, I had piloted Sandrock out of sheer habit; my mind was fried. It happened when I used my powers like that; and then coupled with the pain of all those deaths, yeah my brain was totally fried at the moment. I sighed; I so did not want to get into this discussion this evening.
"Could I possibly explain…I dunno…tomorrow? I'm a bit tired at the moment and Heero needs medical attention…he's bleeding all over the floor." I growled at the Chinese youth; everyone in the room starred at me for a moment. I rolled my eyes and stormed upstairs to one of the two showers. Damn I missed Duo already; at least she didn't look at me like I had sprouted a second head just because I was a little bit rude. Jeeze. I stripped and got into the shower, turning the water on as hot as it would go; I felt chilled to the core. She was gone…it was impossible... Duo…Shinigami…was gone? No, she had said that there might be a chance that she could revive her human body and live… But in order to do that, she would need to feed, and who was going to willing allow her to drain them? No human would, it would mean their death…and as far as he knew, she didn't know any other non-humans well enough to trust. And on top of all that; he now had to attempt to either lie to his comrades or tell them the truth. Oh yeah right….just walk up and say, "Hey guys, I'm not really Quatre Winner, I am really Odin, the Norse god of death and sorcery…yet at the same time I am Winner…does that make sense?" Yeah right. They would knock him out in a heart beat and drag him to see Sally to be re-evaluated. I sighed; yet I couldn't lie to them…they had seen Shinigami in her true form; they had seen me let a little of 'Odin' out as Duo would refer to it.
I banged my head against the tiles of the shower…."I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't…shit…" I guess there's no way around it…he would have to tell them. Now it was just a matter of how much he would tell them.
