Alright! Here's Chapter 3!

Thankies to everyone who reviewed!


The next morning was the same as every other day. Aya woke up, got dressed, fed Masuki, ate a quick bowl of cereal, brushed her teeth and then made her way to work. It was all normal until she saw them. She was on her way to work, enjoying the breeze. She saw three boys and a man walking a little ways down the street… and a pulse shot through her body.

Where have I seen them before?

Ba-bump

Ba-bump

I… Who… Who are they?

Ba-Bump
Ba-Bump

She looked tenderly at the four, trying to regain any memory of them.

Black hair… blue eyes…

A mental image appeared in her head for a brief second.

An x-shaped scar on his chest…

Another image appeared.

Bracelets…

This time, she caught a glimpse of the image repeatedly playing in her mind.

A collar? Those eyes…

She quickly saw an image of the dog in the alleyway.

Dogs? In a field?

She gasped quietly to herself as she stared at nothing, stopping dead in her tracks. The picture playing in her mind.

No… not dogs… wolves…

Suddenly a whole scene played through her mind. Gunshots. A village in ruins and flames. Five wolves. A comrade dead… The picture stopped and she was pulled back into reality as she was bumped into from behind.

"Hey! Watch where you're going will ya?" The man said, pulling himself up. Aya stood as well and turned to the man.

"A strange way to greet a friend in the morning Hoshi, but I guess I'll let it slid this once." She said wagging a finger at him playfully.

"Oh… uh…" Hoshi smiled. "Good morning Aya!"

"Good morning Hoshi."

"What are you doing just standing in the middle of the sidewalk?"

"Oh… uh… nothing… listen, we better get to work. We can't be late."

Hoshi nodded and looked at his watch. "We have about 15 minutes."

"Alright, then lets go."

The two started to work and Aya spotted the four. She made a mental note to herself to remember those features. She studied them but was interrupted when she locked eyes with a boy in a yellow hoodie.

He looked at her and she pulled her eyes away quickly.

"Aya! C'mon! We're gonna get fired if we're late again!" Hoshi said, waving to her from down the sidewalk. Aya saw him wave and nodded. The boy stopped in his tracks and looked at her.

Aya…

"I'm coming!" She yelled to Hoshi. Catching a quick glance of the boy looking at her, she quickly ran to catch up with her friend, leaving him standing there, staring after her.

"Aya…"

"Hige! C'mon!" Said his younger looking friend.

"I'm coming. I'm coming." He put his hands in his pockets and fell into stride again. "Hey, guys. Does the name Aya ring a bell?"

"Aya?"

"You heard me, Toboe."

"Yeah… it kind of does… I can't remember where from though…"

"Tsume, Kiba? Got any ideas?"

"No…" Said an older looking man, a cross shaped scar on his chest.

"What about you, Kiba?" Toboe said, looking to a boy in a black jacket.

Then other boy were speaking to did not answer, but simply continued walking.

Toboe raised an eyebrow and looked at Hige, receiving a shrug.

-Flashback Mode-

"Listen to me Aya. Go, warn the others." Said a young boy, looking only to be 7 or eight, holding her shoulders firmly.

"But… What about you?"

"I'm going with the other three to help hold them off…"

"Please Hige. Be careful!"

"I will."

"You promise?" She said, holding up her pinky. He smiled lopsidedly and locked his pinky with hers.

"I promise. Now go! You have to get out of here before it's to late."

Aya nodded and wrapped her arms around him quickly, before breaking into a run.

-End Flashback-

"Aya? Aya? Mission control to Aya!" Hoshi said, waving a hand infront of her face. She looked up at him and he raised and eyebrow, handing her a tissue. "You're crying…"

"I… I am?" Aya touched her cheek and felt it to be damp. She smiled, taking the tissue. "Thank you, Hoshi."

He nodded in response and then sat down in a chair infront of her desk. "Do you mind telling me why you're crying?"

"I… I don't know…" She said, looking at him and wiping her face. "I've just been… seeing these… scenes in my head lately… I think they're memories… but I can't remember them ever happening.

"Well that certainly is strange."

Aya nodded after reading his lips as she spoke and gently tossed the tissue into the trashcan. "I don't know why…" She looked back up at him and waited for a response.

Hoshi looked at her and smiled. "I don't know why either… Maybe you should go home and get some sleep?"

"But… I have to get these reports done." She said, looking from him to the papers on her desk back to him again.

"For god's sake Aya. You're only 17! You need to take a break like the rest of us once and awhile. You've been working yourself to the bone for the past few weeks and I think it's finally catching up to you. Now go. I'll explain to the boss, okay?"

Aya nodded meekly and picked up her coat, slipping it on and walking out of her office. She turned on her heel quickly and smiled at her friend, now picking up the papers on her office and putting them away neatly for her. "Thank you Hoshi."

He looked at her and nodded. "Anytime."

She smiled again and walked out of the building, heading home. I really hope boss doesn't get on him for that...

She laughed, looking around. Her eyes landed on a familar looking kanine face across the street and she smiled. She quickly looked both ways and made her way over to her friend. She knelt down and smiled.

"Good afternoon there." She said. "I have some more sandwich if you're hungry." She looked up at the dog and smiled, as he began to wag his tail. She set her bag on the ground and dug through it, pulling out a bologna (a/n: i love how that's spelled! lol) sandwich. "I hope bologna's (a/n: there it is again! ) okay..." She said, setting it on the ground for him. He ate it happily and she studied how he looked, suddenly another image appeared in her mind. Her eyes shot from his face, down to his right paw and gasped quietly to herself as she saw four silver bracelets resting on it. (a/n: is that right? i didnt know how many and i took my best guess)

He looked up at her with concerned eyes as she stared at his bracelets. He whined quietly but when she didn't make any movements to look at him, he cocked his head to the side and barked quietly.

Is she deaf? He asked himself, barking again. He whined again and set a paw in her lap, attemping to bring her back to reality. She looked up and smiled.

"Did you like the sandwich?" She laughed when he wagged his tail. She nodded and stood up. "I'm glad. Well, I need to go now, maybe I'll see you around. Bye." She smiled at him again and pet his head gently before waving and walking back towards her house.

I think I really am out of it... There's no way that dog could be... Or... could he? NO! Stop thinking that! You haven't seen a wolf in 10 years!
