Enter the Wolf

Chapter Two

With the transformation complete he opens his eyes. Looking around he becomes confused most of the people are surprised but the only one who seems even the smallest bit afraid is Kasumi. "Aren't you going to scream or run or something?"

Ranma shakes his head to clear his thoughts and asks "Do we have any reason to be afraid?"

"Other that the fact that a humanoid wolf is standing in your back yard ... no"

Finally Nabiki gets her voice back "Are you a werewolf?"

At that comment he glares at the girl "No I am not a werewolf. Why do humans always assume that?"

"Well the fangs, claws, fur, and tail might have something to do with it." comments Nabiki dryly

"Werewolves as far as I know only change with the full moon and have no control over the transformation considering the full moon was a week ago and the fact that it's the middle of the day I think your conclusion stupid to say the least."

As Nabiki struggles to pick her jaw up off the floor at being called stupid by a talking wolf man he begins to shift back into semi-human form keeping the claws and fangs and forgetting about his ears as he usually does. Picking up his shirt and sitting down at the table Kasumi hands him a cup of tea which he gratefully accepts.

Finally Nabiki finds her voice again "So if your not a werewolf how did you get like this?"

Ookami looks at her and comments "I'll answer your question if you can tell me why none of you are afraid usually seeing me like that makes humans act like cowards"

"Fair enough the reason we aren't afraid is because this is Nerima and around here people changing genders and even species is a common thing."

At this Ookami raises an eyebrow "I find that hard to believe"

As soon as he said this Akane grabs Ranma and throws him onto the koi pond saying "Then watch this."

Emerging from the koi pond the now red headed martial artist sputters angrily "Ya could have just explained ya didn't have to throw me in the pond"

"Well now I've seen everything. Nice rack by the way." chuckles an amused Ookami

"Shut up dog boy" snarls Ranma "PERVERT" screams Akane

At this Ookami instantly becomes serious again pointing to Akane "You don't call me a Pervert it was a joke, and you" pointing to Ranma "Call me dog again and you'll be eating through a straw"

"Why so touchy wolf boy?" questions Nabiki

"Because it is insulting to me and all wolves to be referred to as dogs. Dogs unlike wolves have no pride they cower in fear of humans where as a wolf will stand and face them with dignity."

"Well ya don't make fun of my curse and I won't call ya dog. Deal?" Says Ranma

"Deal"

"Now that we have that out of the way are you going to tell us how you got these ... gifts" remarks Nabiki dryly

Sighing Ookami looks off into nothingness and begins to speak "My father always thought that the only kind of strength that mattered was physical strength. No matter what I learned no matter what I did I couldn't convince him otherwise until one day in and old shop I stumbled upon an old book. I couldn't read the cover considering that it was in Latin as well as a few other dead languages but something about it caught my eye anyway. Once I got the book home I searched the internet for a book or text file or anything that would help me translate this book eventually I found what I was looking for it took me three days but I found it. Once I translated the cover I found that it was a book of spells powerful spells at that I searched through that book day in and day out for a week only leaving my room to get food. Finally I found something that would help me it was a spell that would not only help me become strong enough to get my father to respect me but it would also get rid of what I considered my greatest weakness... my humanity. I read and reread the spell until I had it memorized with that done I went into the back yard to preform the spell unfortunately my entire family was at home that day. My grandparents my dad my aunt and even my little cousins were watching as I completed the ritual. Suddenly my entire body felt like it was on fire my eyes were clenched shut so I couldn't see what was happening to me but I could hear my family gasp over the sound of my screams as suddenly as it started it was over but when I opened my eyes the only people in this world that mattered to me ... well almost the only people but I wont talk about 'her' anyways as I was saying. The only people in this world that mattered to me stepped away in fear except my little cousins ether because they didn't understand or because I taught them that it wasn't right to judge people I will never know but they came forward. Looking at me in curiosity the oldest asked 'Is that really you?' still to afraid to speak I just nodded with that they ran forward and hugged me I will never figure out why but all I know is that out of all my family they were the only ones able to accept what I had become." With sad eyes Ookami looked around the room and noticed that the Saotomes were nodding while the Tendos either had tears in there eyes or were openly crying seeing this he knew that after all his running, all his searching he had finally found somewhere where he could belong.

AN: I know it got kind of sappy at the end but it just seemed right about my families reactions I truly believe that this is how they would react if this happened. Also about the spell and all that I had many different ideas but this one just seemed to stick. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and as always reviews and criticism are welcome but please remember this is the first time that I have ever written anything so try not to be to harsh.
