The Canis Demonis Theory
Chapter one: The Mysterious Stranger
People spoke to one another and small children led an obnoxious game of tag through the desolate park. Without the quenching rains, the park was in disarray. Soon it would rain though; Allison could feel it deep within herself. Soon they would dance and send the torrents from the sky to bathe the earth in a weeklong frenzy of water. Allison only enjoyed the rain when she could be sure of a place to stay. As of this point in time, nothing in her life was certain. The only thing that was certain was that she knew she did not belong in Domino City, Japan. There was no one here that could truly understand the pain within her tormented soul.
Oh, how very wrong she was. Not only would the people here that would become her second family understand her, but they would also come to share the pains and joys that would befall the young desert flower. What Allison didn't know was that most of the people she was about to meet had the same problem she did, in one form or another. None of them had the exact same issue, but they all had one just the same.
When I say issue, I don't mean the type you go see a shrink for. I mean a uniqueness of their bodies that led them to be something more than mere humans. Allison was a Eusane, which is a beautiful desert demon originating from Ancient Egypt. Her beauty led to misconceptions about her temperament. Although Allison's demon form was near-heavenly, her attitude was nothing short of hellish. To add to the torment of being so different, Eusane's beauty was only apparent to those who could understand what Eusane was in the first place.
Eusane's body was a mixture of canine and equine, as well as the fact that she had multiple forms within her form. First of all was her smallest form, the size of a common fox. Second of all was her most common form, the size of an Irish wolfhound, if not a little larger. Her third form was mostly equine, roughly the size of a Clydesdale horse. And finally, she had her Forbidden form, a mixture of the second and third forms.
Her Forbidden form was by far the most complex thing a person could ever lay eyes upon. Starting at the back feet, I will work my way up and attempt to describe the beautiful creature concocted in my mind. The back feet were hooves, large enough and heavy enough to crush bone. Her fur was short and smooth with a milk-white color. Upon reaching her tail, it too was equine in appearance. Long, light blue hairs flowed together to create her tail. Two hairs, one on each side, ended with a glowing portion. Her skeletal structure remained that of a horse until her front feet. They curled into large paws, equipped with cruel and punishing claws. Atop each of her four shoulder blades, a set of spikes. Along with those, another set rose out of the flesh between each set, totaling six set on her back. Her neck held another crown of spikes, but these were even more unfriendly than the others. This plate of spikes was a sharp steely color and rose like a crown from the nape of her neck. The tips totaled nine and the top-most spire made her overall height a dizzying nine feet. Unfortunately, the crown of spikes was not the only piece of deadly equipment on her head.
As well as the spikes, she also had two prong-like ears rising up. They were fur-coated and not sharp, but they were intimidating all the same. From there, her muzzle remained true to the skull of a horse. Her eyes changed shades to match her moods. On a normal day, they would be a friendly scarlet. When she was angry, they were a deep and deadly crimson.
However, Allison preferred to stay in her second form most of the time. This form was much friendlier to look at, but still strange and misunderstood. In her second form, Eusane had the skeletal structure of al large dog. Her tail, however, remained equine. The plate of spikes was not as large, but it was still there. Along with her prongs, she also had two prong-like whiskers as well. They served no real purpose, but were not to be touched.
Allison stopped in front of a store with rather large windows. She gazed at her own reflection. A girl of sixteen and a half stared back at her.
Her khaki blonde hair fell to the middle of her back, having been straightened that morning. Normally, it held natural waves. Her bangs were that of her brother, Mariku's. It was a trait they shared. Her kohl-lined eyes were periwinkle in color. Standing at five feet and eight inches, she was four inches shorter than her older brother. Her girlish figure was hindered by the baggy clothes she wore. With a sigh, she started off again.
Without paying any attention, Allison ran into someone. With a slight 'oof', she fell to the ground. Without looking up, she muttered her apologies and made to rise. A voice which knew her name made her go still.
"Allison, you ought to watch where you are going. People around here don't like it when you run into them for no reason other than your own ignorance," the voice mocked. Allison looked up at the young man with blue eyes and a mop of brown hair.
"Do I know you? I don't believe I do since I have only been in Domino for a few days. So, pardon my rudeness but how do you know my name?" She questioned the famous Seto Kaiba.
"We all know your name, what you are and when you arrived, Ankhu Ishtar. Your brother is at the museum if you would like to go see him. I am actually on my way there now. I will take you there if you want." Seto shrugged as if the stranger from Cairo was his best friend.
Allison stared in wonder and confusion, laced with fear. However, something made her feel as though this person could be trusted, so she took his offered hand and Seto pulled her up. She looked at him again. "What is your name?"
"I am Seto Kaiba. And seeing as I already know your name, we can be off." He began to walk forward again. With a quick motion, he pulled his umbrella and Allison darted under.
"Sorry, but I don't care for the rain sometimes," Allison grinned sheepishly and Seto nodded. The two made their way out of Domino Park and over to the Domino Museum. Once inside, Allison was greeted with screams of 'kawaii' and other nonsense just before she was glomped by females, all of which she couldn't see. On top of not being able to see them, she didn't know any of the people here and this scared her. Without time to think, Eusane forced a snarl at them.
The demon looked at the impending figures and backed away from them. Her crimson eyes darted for an escape route.
"Hey there, Allison," another voice greeted her. However, Allison knew this voice. It was a voice she had waited ten years to hear.
"Mariku!"
