Summery: When camping in the woods with Ren, a mysterious creature bites Horo. Later that night, during a full moon, Horo transforms into a lycan (werewolf). When Ren ties to stop him, he gets hurt badly, but he didn't care. Ren has to stop Horo from killing the people in the near by village- but also keep a slayer away from him. But will Ren's love be strong enough to fight the urge of the wolf? (HxR)
It is not a yaoi to begin with, but later on in the chapters, it turns into a romance to do with Ren and Horo. This story is way better than it sounds! A lot more violent too so some things may be more upsetting than others. That is why it is rated PG13- for the violence… and pretty good!- get it, PG- pretty good…? (sighs) never mind.

Chapter 1: Creature Of The Forest
"Hey Ren, can we stop here? This looks like a good place to camp out."
"No, it's next to a bee-hive."
"…Ok then, how about here?"
"No, it's next to the squirrels."
"…Ok then Mr Smarty Pant, were do you suggest we camp?"
Half an hour later…
"Here." Ren placed his rucksack down on the ground and looked around, proud of his choice.
Horo looked around at the space. They were stood in a small none grassy area that was surrounded by tree's. The ground looked like it had been warn down by people and animals walking across it.
Horo shrugged in agreement and he too put his rucksack on the ground. Ren flinched as he heard the sound of something breaking.
"Oopsy, sorry Ren, guess I broke ya cup."
Ren just stood there, clutching his hand into a tight fist and muttering something to himself.
Ren and Horo had been planning this trip for months. The two of them had decided to go out on a camping trip. Yoh was going to come, but then Anna found out and told Yoh he had to train, even though the shaman tournament was over.
The young purple-haired boy stood there for a few more seconds; then set up his tent. It was already dark out and he was tired.
Once his tent was set, he crawled into it and quickly changed into his night gear. Then he snuggled down into his sleeping bag and drifted off to sleep… or at leased he tried to. Ren poked his head out of his tent to see Horo with twigs in his hair, dancing around a small fire. Ren looked at Horo like he had two heads. He had mud marks on his face and was making up words and shouting making a noise with his hand repeatedly going over his mouth.
"Horo you baka!" barked Ren, "Pack it in now! I'm trying to sleep! And what are you doing, trying to create a forest fire? Put it out now!"
Horo stopped; then a grin spread across his face. Ren just stayed there, on his hands and knees half way out of the tent whilst Horo made a rather pathetic howling noise.
"…Horo, do stop. You're pathetic enough as it is."
"Why, ya scared?"
Ren sighed. "No."
"Well you should be, coz I was told back at the village that a creature had been prowling the forest."
"How so?" Asks Ren slightly interested.
"Well, ya see…"
FLASH BACK
Horo looked at the sleeping bag that was in front of him.
"You should be careful."
Horo jumped as a woman appeared next to him.
"Oh, really, how come?" asked Horo, still a little jumpy.
"You will not be alone in the forest tonight."
The ice shaman looked at the strange woman stood next to him. She wore a black cloak and had long grey hair, but the part that freaked Horo out the most was that her eyes were blank!
"Why, are you coming too?"
"No you imbecile! I mean a creature that stalks the animals of the forest, and the people that go there. The creature cries by day and howls by night."
"Wow, what kind of creature does that?"
"A pikin."
"…What's that…?"
Horo spun round as he heard a crashing sound and saw that a man had accidentally driven a hey wagon into someone's stall on the streets. Horo saw that nobody was hurt so he turned back round to face the old woman… only she was gone.
FLASH BACK OVER
'Horo
looks proud of himself,' thought Ren, 'probably because he
didn't think his memory span was that long.'
"…Ren…?"
said Horo, and looked at the other shaman who had a smirk on his
face.
Ren snapped out of his trance and looked up at Horo, who was now stood right in front of him. "What?"
"What's a pikan?"
"Horo you dolt, she said Lycan."
"She said pikan! I should know, I was there after all, and you weren't-" Horo glared at Ren, "Or were you?"
"Horo you idiot, I wasn't watching you, but with your intelligence, you were bound to get the word mixed up- besides, pikan isn't even a word."
"Whatever… so what's a pikan anyway?"
"IT'S LYCAN!"
"Lycan then. What is it?"
"It's a werewolf to you and me."
"…So what's it to the villagers?"
Ren was about to shout when Horo laughed, "Relax Ren, I was only joking."
"Ha, ha very funny-"
The bickering ceased when something behind them moved in the bushes.
"…What was-"
"Ssshh!" hushed Ren, "Its still there…"
They both heard a low growling sound, then out of nowhere; a lightning fast creature shot out of the bushed. They watch as the flames from the fire went out as the creature passed. Ren stayed still on the ground, whilst Horo tried to remain calm. After a few minuets had passed, Ren relaxed.
"It's gone."
Ren crawled back into his tent, saying that this was enough excitement for one night. He crawled into his sleeping bag once more and closed his eyes. Ren was about to drift off to sleep when he heard a rustle, then a snarl… then a scream.

Hi, sorry it's a cliffy… ok so I'm not, I love doing cliffys!
It's a hobby of mine. Anyway, sorry the first chapter wasn't that
interesting until the end of it. I'll do better in the other
chapters. Promise!
