Enter the Wolf
Chapter Nine
Ookami just smiled his plan had worked so he went to his room pulled a cd player out of his bag put in his burned cd of Ozzy and relaxed.
If Ookami hadn't been listening to Ozzy full volume (The only way to listen to rock) then he might have heard the cries of "What a haul, what a haul." Happosai burst into what had once been his room but Ookami didn't notice.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my room?" asked Happosai angrily ripping the headphones off of Ookami.
"Ow you old freak those were stuck in my ears you know." yelled Ookami
"I don't care get out of my room." Happosai yelled back
"It's my room I paid for it." said Ookami
"I don't care get your things out of my room." yelled Happosai grabbing a wrapped bundle and throwing it violently at Okamis feet causing the contents to break. Before he yelled "Happo Daikarin (Happosai burning fire blast)" and throwing it at the package completely destroying it.
Ookami was shaking with rage as he stared at the place where his most prized possession had just sat . Suddenly the transformation took place, violently his fur, tail, and ears ripped through the skin as his claws and fangs snapped into place but in place of his normal yellow eyes were blood red ones. He looked at the old man with murder in his eyes.
Ranma was practicing in the back yard when an enraged Ookami appeared in the back yard his fist raised and pointed at the house but before he could ask what he was doing Happosai came flying through the wall and straight into Ookamis fist. Ranma for once having a clue ran to Ookamis room to find a scorched spot with a singed piece of fabric near by Ranma was suddenly very glad that Ookami had taken that bundle from him.
While Ranma was checking his room Ookami grabbed Happosai by the back of the skull and dug his claws into the flesh he found there causing the barely conscious Happosai to groan in pain. Ookami calmly walked over to one of the stones embedded into the ground and began to beat Happosais head against it violently causing sickening cracking and splattering sound to echo throughout the yard with each swing. Ranma ran back outside to see this and yelled "Ookami stop!"
Okami do just that and dropped Happosai as he turned to Ranma and growled menacingly. Ranma slowly came forwards "Ya can't do this man." he said holding his hand in front of him showing that he meant no harm.
When Ranma was about 10 feet away Ookami raised his fist and swung at Happosai's head causing it to explode covering both Ookami and Ranma in gore from head to toe. Ranma froze as Ookami threw his head back and gave a long mournful howl while blood dripped from his claws. Ookami spent about half an hour howling before he came back to himself and his eyes shifted back to yellow.
"What did he do?" asked Akane horrified at what had happened but still not missing the old pervert even a little bit.
"He destroyed my most valued possession." answered Ookami who was trying to wash the blood out of his fur with water from the pond.
"Please don't do that Okami." said Kasumi who was holding a bucket of water "Use this."
"Thank you Kasumi." Replied Okami
After reverting back to his human form only this time even his eyes shifted and became their natural dark brown Ookami washed the blood from his hands feet and torso before saying "If you don't mind I need a bath."
After he returned from his bath everyone stared at him surprised by his lack of reaction to what he had done. He seemed not to care that he had just taken a life and in reality he didn't care.
"Aren't you going to say something?" Asked Ranma "I mean you just killed someone"
"What do you want me to say he took what was most precious to me and he died for it there is nothing else to say." Ookami stated coldly
"Don't you care that you just killed someone?" Asked Akane in disbelief
"Not really the only thing that upsets me is the loss of my picture and the fact that I lost control. I've killed before so a little more blood on my claws doesn't matter." answered Ookami
"What was so special about a picture that you had to kill someone for destroying it?" asked Nabiki
"It was all I had to remind me of 'her'." replied Ookami
"What was her name?" asked Soun
"What her name 'is' is none of your concern." said Ookami
"If she's alive why did you need something to remind you of her?" asked Nabiki
"Because I never intend to go back so I will never see her again." Answered Ookami
"Why not go back?" asked Nabiki
"That's my business. The only contact I have from there is from my brother Pansa Ryu." Replied Ookami
"Wait we got some mail from someone by that name yesterday let me go get it." Said Kasumi
"I thought your family abandoned you?" asked Nabiki
"He's not my brother by blood or even by law but he is my brother none the less."answered Ookami
"Here it is" said Kasumi coming back into the room and handing the letter to Ookami
"Thank you Kasumi." Said Ookami taking the letter "I was wondering when he would reply"
Ookami opened and read the letter for a moment he looked shocked then he developed a kind of sad smile before reaching into the envelope and pulling out a wallet sized picture and holding it to his chest.
"What does it say" asked Ranma
Ookami wordlessly hands Ranma the letter as he pulls out his old worn snake skin wallet and places the picture in it. Ranma can't read the letter because its in English so Nabiki takes it and reads it aloud
Dear Bro
Nice to hear so settled down in one place again I got some news for you. If you remember in my last letter I said 'she' was getting married well it didn't happen and she's looking for you it may have just been a trap to get you to come back but what do I know. I didn't tell her where you are just like you asked but she gave me a picture and told me to send it to you I put it in the envelope. Anyway I don't think she's gonna give up she's been pestering us about where you are for months and I mean all of us. I wish you would just let her find you and get it over with but whatever. Just don't forget you always got a place here.

"Why are you running from her?" asked Ranma
"She deserves better than me." Ookami stated simply
"Apparently she doesn't think that." said Nabiki
"Doesn't matter humans don't ever know what's best for them." said Ookami
"Just be a man and face her" said Genma
"SHUT UP! Genma you have no right to tell me or any other creature on this planet what to do. You are a worthless pile of shit(I think this is an insult to shit everywhere but it's all I could think of) who would and has sold your own son for his own selfish and petty reasons" Ookami yelled causing Genma to retreat to a corner.
"What is she like?" asked Ranma
"She's a lot like Kasumi in someways but a bit more like Akane in others." Said Ookami
"What do you mean" asked Ranma he couldn't figure out how someone could be like both Akane and Kasumi
"Well like Kasumi she is a kind sweet person who would accept anyone as who they are despite their flaws and because of this deserves nothing but respect." Said Ookami "But she is like Akane because of her physical strength. She runs, when we were in school she was on the track team and ran cross country."
"Oh I understand now." Said Ranma
"Even when no one else would accept me she showed me kindness because of that she saved me, saved what little remains of my heart and soul. If it weren't for her I most likely would have gone insane" continued Ookami
"What do you mean about your soul." asked Akane
"I was a reject and outcast even before the spell and it hurt me when people would call me a freak or any number of names so in order to stop the pain I had to give up a part of myself I had to give up most of my good emotions. But I had to give up even more so that I could control the emotions that I had left." stated Ookami
"Much like you and your mask Nabiki but my emotions died. I am what you will become if you don't remove your mask and face the world." Nabiki trembled 'Will I die on the inside like that is he right' she thought before she fled to her room
"All that remained was pain, anger, hate, and the smallest bit of happiness which I still cling to, to this very day." Ookami finished
"What about her how do you feel about her?" asked Akane
"I'm not sure it's unlike anything else I've ever felt. I can't be sure but I tink that it could be ... love." said Ookami uncertainly
"Look I'm tired we can continue this tomorrow I'm going to bed." announced Ookami before leaving the room.
Kasumi just watched him leave. 'He deserves to be happy' she thought before going to her room to work out a plan.
AN: what you think, dead pervert, and a look into Ookami's past plus Kasumi is getting sneaky hope you like.
