Chapter 7:

(Normal POV)

Yoh, Anna, Tamao, Wolves and Ren were peacefully eating breakfast in the dining room when a scream from Iik can be heard throughout the house.

"AHHHHHHHHHH! WOLVES IS MISSING! SHE'S GOING KILL US ALL BECAUSE REN DIDN'T APOLOGIZE TO HER YESTERDAY!"

When Iik reached the dining room, he turned a light pink and with a quiet "hehe", he left the room after Wolves said, "Do you think I'm that selfish?" Ren remained an interesting shade of red for quite a while, until Horo woke up (well actually everyone did, thanks to Iik, but Horo went to the kitchen first) and he expressed his feelings by starting yet another fight.

After Wolves finished her soup, she got up and excused herself for the rest of the day until dinnertime, claiming that she's going to explore the city. When Iik offered to go with her, she simply said, "Like anything's going to happen." But in the end, Iik convinced her to take Devilon. But knowing Anna won't let her out unless she had a reason, she agreed to buy the groceries.

The rest of the day was quiet seeing as Ryu had to go all the way to China to run some errands for Anna and ChocoLove was locked in a closet for making too many jokes. Yoh was training in the backyard and Ren was call back to his house/mansion (the one in Japan). Of course, the curious Yoh asked him why, but Ren being Ren told him to mind his own business.

Wolves was walking out of a convenient store when she heard a rustling in a nearby tree. It's not a windy day. She continued walking but the trees by the sidewalk kept rustling as she walked by it. That's when Devilon whispered something in her ears (Yes! Devilon can talk. He's just very quiet and only talk to Wolves and Iik. After all, he is a Demonic Mountain Wolf, a.k.a. DMW…haha! If you say it fast, it's like BMW! Lmao…anyway). "Someone's here. And they have an enormous amount of furyoku." Wolves nodded and decided not to cause a big commotion so she started running home. But the 'rustle' followed her until they reached an empty lot.

"Got nowhere to run, my little wolf?" the 'rustle' said, the sound coming from a nearby tree.

Like anyone else who would be in her situation, she said, "Who are you? Show yourself."

The 'rustle' obeyed and revealed itself, walking towards her. He looked in her eyes and saw a blend of fear and confusion. An evil smile formed on his face. "Is that fear due to my furyoku? Or a memory from the past?" he said, as a small flame appeared on his palm.

"Anna, is it 7 yet?" Yoh asked as he tried his best to prevent himself from falling. Amidamaru can only stare at his master in awe, completely amazed and proud that his master can not only sit on an invisible chair but with only one feet on the ground while balancing a stack of books on his head.

"Nope, it's only 5:10. One hour and 50 more minutes to go Yoh and then you can begin on your 600 sit ups and 550 push ups," Anna said in her signature tone as she resume to reading her book, 1001 ways the Medieval Kings trained his Least Favorite Soldiers, while watching Yoh train.

Yoh dare not complain, as much as he wanted to. Instead he focused on the music from his orange headphones, while anime tears flowed from his eyes.

Tamao rushed into the backyard and ran up to Anna, "Miss Anna, what will we be having for dinner? Wolves is not back from the grocery store yet?"

As if dealing with this sort of problem was her job, she quickly answered, "Didn't we have leftovers from yesterday?" When Anna checked this morning, they still had half a fish, a big bowl of mashed potatoes, and a dish of roast beef.

"Horo-kun ate them all for his afternoon snack," Tamao replied quietly, afraid of what Anna's reaction would be.

A vein popped and Anna hollered Horo's name. While waiting for her prisoner to arrive, she turned to Tamao. "Hurry down to the grocery store and buy some microwave dinner." Dinner was always to be served at 7:30 (I'm not sure if that's early for you but my family eats at 5:30) and Anna will not allow that to change tonight. But, onto more important matters Anna thought as she picked up her other book: 1001 ways the Medieval Soldiers tortured their Prisoners (Evil Edition) and began reading.

Tamao quickly nodded and made her way to the grocery store. On her way out, she can hear the cries of a certain blue-hair shaman begging for torture to be stopped.

(Still Normal POV)

"It's you!" Wolves exclaimed as she slowly backed away from the boy with the flame on his palm.

"Ah, I see you do remember me. Glad to see you doing so well. Makes me feel that I made the right decision to let you survive that day," the boy said. Not letting the distance between them decrease, he grabbed her forearm with his other hand.

Unprepared, Wolves scanned her mind for options. She can:

1. Run away
2. Fight him
3. Send Devilon for help
4. Go along with whatever he has planned for her

a. there's no way she can outrun him
b. He's too strong to be defeated by her and Iik isn't here to help
c. He can easily spot Devilon running away, then he can defeat her even easier
d. That's too dangerous. He cannot be trusted

But before Wolves can think of another option, and before the boy can do anything, she heard her name being called. "Wolves!"

They turned towards the source of the sound. Tamao? The boy tugged at Wolves's arm and gave her a quick peck on her left cheek. "We'll meet again soon, my baby wolf." And with that, he disappeared into a tree.

Tamao quickly ran up to Wolves, who now had her hand on the cheek that made contact with the boy's lips. "Wolves, who was that boy?" she asked worriedly, putting the bags of groceries on the ground.

But Wolves shook her head and said softly, "He was no one. Let's go home." She then dragged Tamao away from the empty lot, with her eyes remaining on the very tree the boy disappeared to.

Wow! I finished by 7th chapter already! Ha! But the only reason I updated so fast was because…I'm bored!Okay, I'm weird…but you know how to help me! REVIEW!
