Ran turned himself to his animal form; a totally white swallow. He made his way down to the house not far away from the shop, landing on the roof when he got to the correct building. He came down to her door from the roof, ringing the bell.

He got distracted for a moment, jumping when he heard a click on the front door. It swung open, and gave a soft yelp when a girl with two braids hugged his breath out of him.

"Onii-chan! I'm so sorry I never visited you! Well, you know, school this and that? Besides I got picked for this competition and now I have to spend the days practicing and so…" The girl said, pulling the redhead into the house.

Aya blurted everything at one shot, leaving her brother unable to catch up with the words. She finally noticed the two area of his shirt ripped and touched the unscarred skin. Ran flinched at the touch and grabbed her small hands in his own.

"Aya, I have to tell you something important. Promise me two things, don't be unhappy but do believe."

Aya stared at violet eyes with a sad look but nodded. She switched to looking at the white wings which sprouted out from his back, like a quick motion of a plant growing. She covered her mouth not in neither horror nor shock, but more like bewildered.

"I'm not your real brother, Aya. I'm only down here as I've came down here on my own will. I wanted to be human, I guess. Live in a family. That's why I left Heaven when I was eighteen, gave fake memories to you and your parents, for them having me as a son and you a brother. I thought I could live a normal way, but upon leaving Heaven, a devil followed me, ending you up in a coma. There was nothing I could do. I felt so hopeless…"

Aya listened in silence, watching as the one before her 'brother' went down on his knees.

"I'm really sorry…"

The blue-haired girl bit her lip, and went down to the ground as well, wrapping her arms around Ran in the process.

"A...Aya?"

"No. I don't regret it. In fact, I'm really thankful to meet a brother like you. You're now like a guardian angel to me", Aya said with a big smile, raising the redhead's face with a gentle lift.

First full moon
"Omi, is there anything for dinner?" Yoji moaned with a rather loud grumbling stomach, and the younger blonde pouted back at him.

"Go find something to eat like cup noodles."

"Omiiiiiiiii….." Yoji moaned again. The blonde was getting awfully irritating.

"Stop acting like a kid, Yotan!" Omi snapped.

"Someone's seemed to be having a mood", Yoji trailed off, pulling out a chair and sitting on it.

"I am not! Where's Ken-kun anyway?"

"Upstairs."

"Ken! Get your butt down here! Omi's looking for you!" Yoji shouted, hoping it was loud enough for the brunette to hear or else he had to shout again.

Omi shook his head as the call seemed to have failed, and now the blonde was shouting so loud he could be deaf anytime. He stood in front of the basin sipping from his cup and staring out the window. He watched as the sun set, and the scenery changed to orange-red color. He searched about the skies, trying hard to ignore Yoji screaming his head off for Ken. He noticed the birds flying around were squawking loudly and badly. He shifted his gaze which settled on a white orb in the sky

"Yoji-kun, was there a full moon yesterday? I don't recall having any moon yesterday."

"Yesterday had no moon, chibi. I'm going up to find Ken."

"Wait! If there wasn't any moon yesterday, what's a full moon doing in the sky now?"

Yoji rolled his eyes and took a quick look out the window and his jaw went down.

"What the hell… I swear, yesterday had really no moon at all! What is it doing out here now?" He boomed.

A loud crash of glass caught their attention, and both of them turned to the living room. Glass pieces which came from a nearby vase were scattered, spread out far across the doorway.

"Ken-kun?" Omi called out in a trembling voice. Yoji reached for his watch and pulled out his wire, a metallic sound made as he tugged. Slowly, he approached the entrance. As he got closer, he heard loud panting noises he was too familiar with.

"Ken! What the hell do you think you're doing? You nearly scared the shit out of me man!" Yoji said angrily at the brunette who was on the floor. He noticed something was wrong after a second or two that Ken was not 'normal'.

"Oi, you okay?"

"Yoji… get away from me… NOW!" Ken screamed, causing the blonde to jerk backwards with shock. It was not only the sudden loud voice of the brunette which startled him, but the fact that fur was growing on his skin all over.

"Shit! Omi! Come on!" Yoji shouted. The young blonde ran over hurriedly, gaping at Ken.

"Get him to the mission room! That's the only place the room can be locked from outside!" He barked, forcing the brunette up. Omi gulped and helped transfer Ken to the room, putting him in the basement before the fled to the ground floor, locking the room.

"Oh gods, what happened to Ken-kun?"

"I told you, Ken's a werewolf. Shit…where's Ran when you need him?"

First full moon
Ran managed a smile back at the girl, who gave her own in return.

At that moment, the front door clicked and in came the people who surprised Ran.

"Schwarz…"

"Yo, how you doing little angel?" Schuldich smirked. Ran growled and took his place before Aya.

"Onii-chan! Matte! They're not here to do any harm!" Aya said quickly, grabbing the redhead's arm to prevent him from doing anything. Ran stared at her in puzzlement and Crawford entered the house.

"You need not worry, Abyssinian. We're not here for a fight, neither are we here for trouble. We are simply here for a job."

"A job?"

"We have left Estet to join Kritiker, and Manx has assigned up to protect Aya."

"And if that's not convincing", Aya giggled. She trotted over and held onto Crawford's arm casually. "Crawford-san's my new boyfriend!"

Ran nearly died of shock. Luckily he recovered in a shot while though.

"So I deem I have to put Aya in your trust?"

"Have no worry, angel. What you need to worry more is the Apocalypse coming up soon", the German snickered.

"What Apocolypse?"

"Saturn shall be revived very soon, so the Wicks are going to get you. Now, you only have to worry about your teammates at home. Look out the window."

Ran hesitantly looked out through the balcony window.

"Full moon? But yesterday the moon was not there…"

"Exactly. Due to the Apocolypse, the light from the sun reflects from other planets, to the moon then to Earth. In two days, all the planets will be aligned, and that would be the time Saturn will be at his strongest to break free from Cell."

"I know about Cell. God used it to prevent Saturn from coming up. I don't remember him saying about it being broken."

"Only with sacrificial of good will the bad arise."

"Now, they know you're here, and no doubt, they will be after your ass."

"Let them try."

"But first, your little wolfie at home is going haywire and Bradley here predicted it isn't going to be good."

Ran immediately stepped towards the balcony and slide it open to gain access to outside. He spread the white wings and hopped onto the thin handle.

"Onii-chan, please be careful", he heard from behind him. He gave a soft sigh and looked over his shoulder.

"I will be. I leave Aya in the hands of yours, Schwarz. Disown her and your death will be in my hands."

"I assure you, Abyssinian. Nothing shall even touch a strand of her hair."

Ran sniffed and gave himself a hard push from the railing before taking off into the cold air, transforming into the white swallow.

First Full Moon
Omi and Yoji sat on the couch, with the outmost worried look on their faces. Ken was acting weird, Ran was missing, what else could be next. Yoji stifled a yawn and stubbed out his tenth cigarette, and Omi heaved a sigh.

"What are we going to do about Ken-kun?"

"Dunno. We'll have to wait for Ran to get back first. Not that I really mean it, do you think he's out 'for a snack'?"

"No way. First of all, I don't believe in such things. Vampires, werewolves, all these are just superstitions passed around by people."

"If they were superstitions, would you be lying to see what you think doesn't exist?"

Ran said, entering the house with his wings folded back. Omi and Yoji nearly stumbled out of their seats when they saw Ran and those unusually 'odd things' at the back.

"Ran-san… are those...?"

"Where's Ken?" Ran snapped. Omi pointed to the door behind the steps and Ran knew clearly where he was. While walking towards, they all heard a loud howl.

"Shit, was that Ken?" Yoji exclaimed.

Ran cursed before he turned to the other two.

"That door isn't going to hold on any longer! Ken's going to be out anytime!"

"But what is going on around here?"

"I'll explain later, okay! Now leave the house, lock the doors and don't come back 'till morning!" Ran shouted.

The other two though, was too dumbfounded by the recent incidents and stood there like statues when they heard a crack from the basement door.

"Shit", Ran mumbled under his breath before he turned to face a humongous wolf, licking its salivary lips. Ran tossed a glare at the wolf which raised its head into the air and made a deafening howl.

"That's… not possible…" Ran muttered, covering his mouth.

"What? What the fuck's going on! What's not possible?" Yoji snarled, grabbing onto Ran's shoulder and turning him around.

"The house… is surrounded by werewolves. Somehow Ken's the leader or the whole pack… and now he's leading them to get me."

Ran roughly pushed away the hand on his shoulder and stepped away from the blonde.

"Get upstairs. I've got something to deal with", Ran said in his usual cold and calm voice. The other two blondes were about to protest when the redhead shot them one of his glares.

"I'm not losing anyone anymore."

Ran finished and busted out of the house through the main door, barely avoiding other werewolves which were standing very close to the door. Immediately Ken darted out of the house, barked as he ran through his new pack. The rest followed behind, waiting for orders. About twenty followed closely to Ken, in fact running slightly behind but beside him.

Ran took the air and hissed as he felt a cut across his arm. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw he was surrounded by black bats and birds. The werewolves were not far below, somehow able to take to the taller roofs and not losing sight of him. He was able to tell which was Ken through the distinctive brown eyes, and now it a power-hungry looking pair instead.

Growling, Ran switched to his faster swallow form, dodging as the black birds and bats came at him, cackling and screeching. He made down towards the alleys, werewolves snapping and yapping to try and clamp their jaws on the small bird.

The white swallow gave a high screech when an arrow pierced directly through its left wing. Ran stumbled back on the ground as a human, grasping his hurt left arm and one bleeding wing was down like it was dead. He bit his lip to prevent any noise to come out as he pulled the spiraled arrow from his upper arm, throwing it carelessly on the ground. He jerked himself up, running deeper into the alley he had just landed in.

Unfortunately for him, he reached a dead end.

"Now where do you think you're going?" A familiar voice asked. He looked up and sitting on the edge of the building was Teufel, and another dark red haired guy with bright red eyes. He was holding a spiraled bow, and Ran suspected the shot was from him.

"This is Sangre. And Sangre, this is the little angel I was talking about", Teufel introduced which a large smirk on his face.

"Indeed, young master. Your abilities may just exceed Lord Saturn's ones."

"Why do you think I'm the Devil of Lies?" He laughed back. Ran felt disgusted at the sight of Teufel, further more the sight of the fully-dressed-in-red guy beside him.

"We might as well have him prepared for the big day, shall we, young master?" Sangre asked, death dripping in his voice.

"By all means."

Sangre gave a loud snap and Ran had no time to react when a large paw swiped across his face, knocking him unconscious.

First Full Moon
Omi was getting dizzy at Yoji's pacing around the room. They stayed up the whole night, hoping Ran could or Ken could return, but not it was already morning and there was not a single sign of any of them. Omi got up from his seat and nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the backdoor slam shut.

"Ken-kun? Ran-san? Is that you?" Omi asked out loud. Yoji did not even bother asking and darted straight towards the back door where he saw Ken on the ground, against the wall. His hands were bruised, and so were the soles of his feet.

"What happened? Where's Ran?" Yoji boomed, grabbing the brunette by a jacket which did not look any familiar. Ken winced at the loud voice, slapping Yoji's hand to release himself.

"I don't know! I can't remember anything okay?"

"You not remembering anything might just put Ran in jeopardy!" Yoji snapped, roughly pinning the smaller man against the wall. Ken giving a growl was the only warning before he pushed Yoji away with too much force, knocking the blonde down to the ground.

"You want to know the truth? I'll tell you the truth! Teufel's got him! They're going to use him to put this world in Hell! Is that good enough for you!"

"Damn bastard! Don't think you can just let Ran run out to his grave! Where is he!"

"In Hell! You want to find him, kill yourself! That's the quickest way!"

Ken clenched his fist tight and punched at the concrete wall, making a large crack through it.

"It's all my fucking fault… I knew I could've prevented this…"
