For all of the people who read this, review all the time, and are wondering why I didn't update sooner I have to say that I was bombarded with tests and projects this week. I am really sorry and If I don't update everyday you may blame my teachers! They are evil indeed. For everyone who wants to know if Tohru and Donovan fall in love, I'll tell you this...its...a...secret! muahahaha! I am evil indeed. Enjoy!

Chapter Five:

"What did you say?" Yuki stuttered. Another person who has more courage. Another person who is stronger.

"I said, I ran away. Why do you care?" Donovan barked (...he didn't literually bark...) and growled (now he did growl) at Yuki. Why should this pretty boy care?

"Donovan, why? Why would you run away?" Tohru said, she seemed sad. As if he ran away from her. Donovan looked away in shame. How was she doing this? He jumped down from the table.

"Its none of your damn business! Get your fricken' nose outta my life!" Donovan shouted, such a sorrowful angry voice for such a cute pup.

Kyo jumped up in rage and raised his fist at Donovan, "I'm warning you! Tohru hasn't done anything but good for you so either say sorry, shut up, or thank her! Other wise I beat the crap out of ya!"

Tohru shook her head and blushed in panic, "No, no, no, he is right. I shouldn't bother him if he doesn't want help," but then why did Donovan ask her to stay? Was he like Kyo? Did he get flushed when before to many people? She looked at him with sympathetic eyes. Something really bad must have happened to him to scar him so deeply.

"I never asked for her stupid help!" Donovan shouted, but then why had he asked her to stay? She made him feel better, like everything would be okay. She soothed his pain and sorrow. He didn't want to push her away but everyone was staring at him with "those" eyes again. Flashes of his father's loathing stares and angry words of hatred and despise. Those hateful eyes...those painful memories almost made him want to barf. His inside curled and sweat flecked at his fur. No..not again.

Donovan placed his paws over his eyes, "STOP IT!"

"What the-" Yuki said but Donovan had clearly lost it.

"STOP IT! STOP! STOP STARING AT ME LIKE THAT!" Donovan shouted, panic biting through his voice, eyes shading over. Donovan wasn't with them anymore. He was "There". He was in his childhood again, inside those painful memories.

"Donovan? Donovan? Whats wrong? DONOVAN!" Tohru paniced.

Flashes of Donovan's past flicked through his rolling eyes, voices crawled through his head, weaving him into a place he thought was behind him. The pain wouldn't stop.

"He isn't here," A voice said from behind Tohru. Hatori was in the hallway and made his way to the wolf pup.

"What was that Haa-san?" Shigure said confused.

Hatori didn't bother saying another word. He bent to pick up the young pup but Tohru got there first, "DONOVAN COME BACK!" She shouted, panic gone. She pulled the pup tightly to her chest and held him in a loving embrace.

"Donovan? Donovan? Whats wrong? Donovan!" Donovan heard a faint whisper across his head. He laid in a heap, curled to keep warm even though he had clothing on. Tears edged at his eyes but he bit them back, the voice got louder. Then he heard a voice that seemed very fimilar. Another voice from his nightmares. He would always see a man, shadowed away, down a hallway. Each time he would run after the man, as if it was someone very important. But he would always fall and there, right in front of him, HE would stand there. HE would shout at Donovan. HE would hurt Donovan even though, it was always just a dream.

Just as Donovan thought about the owner of the voice the man in the shadows appeared, and this time he was a little clearer. So Donovan started running like always. Then...everything slowed down. He knew what was coming next...his Father.

Then came the trip, Donovan felt his foot snag on the dream-like floor, and slowly began to fall, wincing as he made his decent into another room through the floor. The man began to walk away...like he always did. Donovan hit the floor with a thud, and laid there, acheing. (I know its a dream but I have had painful dreams before...cause pillows and as such attack me while I sleep...and I fall off da bed...) He prepared himself for what came next...HIM, His Father. Donovan said a vulgar word under his breath, like all those times before, he couldn't move. He was on his belly, resting his chin on the floor. Then he saw his feet...and another set? A wolf's paws? He looked to the wolf first. Its was him...but alot older. His true wolf. The wolf glared at Donovan for a breif moment, probably for Donovan locking him into a baby form. But then the wolf began to growl at the figure of his Father. Snapping and protecting someone and wasn't protecting Donovan. The Donovan felt himself being tugged into a warm inbrace...Mom?

Donovan looked at the person over his shoulder...Tohru. The thought warmed him. She whispered into his ear in a loving nature, tears edging into her eyes, "Donovan come back!"

Donovan hadn't known Tohru for long and yet she was shedding tears for him. He knew that she was someone who has been thought by someone loving. He knew she was devoted to her friends. And he knew that Yuki and Kyo wanted her. Donovan closed his eyes as his surroundings became blurry, the wolf began fading but Donovan could hear what he said, "Through all darkness, there is a light. What will you do?"

Donovan responded, "I don't...know."

Then everything faded away. Was the dream over?

"DONOVAN COME BACK!" Tohru shouted again. Donovan winced at her shrill voice. Yeah, the dream was over. Tohru's tear streaked face was right in his as he opened his eyes, "Donovan! You're awake! Thank god!"

Then Tohru was interupted. Who was that man?

"Everyone leave the room. I'm sure Donovan wants to be alone for a moment," Hatori said. Donovan pondered about why he would say that, then a fimilar sensation occured to him. He was about to transform in front of people he just met. Oh no...This isn't good.

Donovan nodded frantically and quickly went under the privacy of a near by blanket. Everyone except Tohru understood. She gave a frantic glance at the man as Yuki and Kyo grabbed her hand and tugged her out in a hurried rush. The man had to push Shigure out...that man was disturbing. But how come the man wasn't leaving! WHY?

"Aren't you going to leave?" Donovan groaned.

"Don't worry. I won't look."

"Well that makes me feel much better. Thanks," Donovan replied dully. Donovan was engulfed in a cloud of poof (yes I know, a cloud of poof) with a yelp. He was barely covered by the small towel-blanket thingy now and was evil staring at the man's back, "Who the heck are you?"

"I'm Hatori."

"Ok, Hatori, why didn't you leave. You aren't sick, twisted or perverted are you?" Donovan said dully. Hatori threw some clothes over to Donovan.

"No, I'm none of those. Just get your clothes on so we can this over with. Ok?" Hatori said just as dully and heartlessly as Donovan.

"Fine, ya weirdo."

"Is he ok?" Tohru asked everyone as they sat down in the other room. Shigure seemed to be pondering something.

"Shigure, what are you doing?" Yuki asked.

"Pondering," Shigure said lightly. (See? I told you he was pondering! Of what? I dunno)

Just then, our main character person, Donovan, that we seem to be following around, (unknown to him grin just kidding) and Hatori walked into the room. Donovan was his normal self wearing ALL of his clothes. Hatori was scolling...like usual.

"Hey," Donovan and Hatori saidinunison, their voices mingling together. They looked so much alike...Hatori looked over at Shigure, who died! No...just passed out.

"Shigure?" Tohru said panically (is that a word?) and ran over to him. By the time she reached him Shigure began to wake up. Without looking at Donovan and Hatori.

"For a second there I thought there were two of Haa-san," Shigure smiled and waved it away until he looked over at Donovan and Hatori, both staring at him as though he were an idoit. Shigure screamed one heck of a girlie scream and passed out again...oh gosh.

TBC...

So whats going on here? Shigure passed out? Donovan and Hatori look alike. And to top it all off, Donovan is having horrible flash backs that are haunting his dreams and making him act like a pshyco path. Indeed, this is one weird fic. XD

Li: Accually. It isn't that weird.

You sux Li.

Li: So do you.

Wow...great come back.

Sirius: Indeed.

I'm surronded...
