Yu-Gi-Oh: Wolf
Chapter 4
Seto's wolf instincts guided him at where to aim. He leapt onto the moose's back and his teeth bit deep. He barely controlled what he was doing. It was like the wolf in him was taking control and shunting Seto aside.
He didn't like that. He struggled for control. By the time he did, the moose lay dead amongst the wolves. He hadn't even realized that he had continued to attack. For a minute, the 6 of them stood staring at the moose lying in the middle of the clearing.
Well, lets eat before it gets cold! said Marik cheerfully. He dug in.
Hey! Leave some for me! protested Bakura and began eating next to Marik.
Yugi stared blankly at them. That's disgusting.
But we DO have to eat, said Joey, though he looked sick.
We're going to finish this all, warned Malik through a mouthful of moose.
At this, the rest of them went up to the carcass.
Well, at least we put it out of it's misery... right? said Mokuba reluctantly.
/-Come on Yugi!-/ complained Yami. /-Lets eat!-/
/Yami.../
/-What?-/
/I don't... want to.../
/-Fine, fine...-/
A flash of light from the Millennium Puzzle signaled that Yami had taken over Yugi's wolf self. He trotted up to the moose casually, positioned himself next Bakura and began tucking in.
Joey gave Yami a sideways look and began taking little bites at the moose.
Finally, Mokuba gave Seto a glance and began eating too.
Seto sighed, approached the felled prey next to Mokuba and began wolfing (no pun intended) it down.
((((()))))
Not long afterwards, they left, full but a little uneasy. At least most of them were.
That was really good, commented Marik.
Yugi seemed to be in shock that he had just eaten something other than hamburger.
Seto glanced back at the pieces of moose left lying on the stained red snow. He knew that soon other animals, mostly scavengers, would be eating what they had leftover. He wasn't sure why, but the thought sickened him.
He shook his head. There was no time to think about that now.
Okay, getting to business, said Yami, turning to the others a short distance away from their breakfast. We need to ask someone directions to the tallest mountain in this area.
Okay. But first need to FIND someone who can give us directions to the tallest mountain in this area, pointed out Joey.
Good point.
The wolves all stared across the deserted landscape.
Nope. No one there, said Ryou going around in a full circle to make sure he hadn't missed looking in a direction.
Has anyone even SEEN any other wolves besides us around here? wondered Mokuba aloud. There were so many of them before and now they seemed to have... disappeared.
I have, said Seto suddenly, remembering the flash of green fur and wolf tracks he had noticed before.
Where? Maybe we can ask them, said Yami, turning to him.
Back there, answered Seto, motioning towards the place they had come from.
All the way back there? asked Joey. Does that mean we have to back track?
No, it probably wouldn't have stayed for long anyway, replied Seto, starting to get annoyed.
Well then, what if we find its scent and track it? suggested Mokuba.
Worth a try.
Seto, having no idea how to use the wolf's senses to track, moved aside and let the wolf instincts take over.
Instantly, he lowered his nose to the ground and sniffed a few times. Nothing.
This way! said Joey, suddenly bounding forward.
The others hurried after him. After about 10 minutes of running, he stopped and sniffed frantically.
I lost it.
Pathetic, muttered Seto under his breath and began trying to find the scent too. Then he caught it. It was a slight scent of an unfamiliar wolf.
He began following it rapidly, the others trailing behind.
((((()))))
Being as untrained to tracking as they were, they had to keep stopping until someone else picked up the trail again. They kept finding it at different intervals.
Its gone again, sighed Yami as he came to the end of the scent he had been following.
This is pointless, growled Bakura angrily. We'll never find-
He was cut off by a long howl from a wolf that had suddenly appeared it front of them.
