Welcome to the Asakura's Residence
Chapter 8:
The Very Guy

(Normal POV)

When Tamao arrived home with Wolves, Anna didn't even bother to pose a question. She simply told Tamao to prepare dinner and suggested that Wolves take a bath before dinner (the boys' goes to the spring after dinner). Wolves thought something was wrong because normally, Anna would want to know exactly what happen, no matter who it was.

Did she already know? But she couldn't have, Wolves thought while showering, But then again, it is Anna. She decided not to worry until Anna mentions anything.

Wolves was just finishing up when she heard her name being called. "Wolves! Dinner!"

She hastened her speed. "Coming!" She gave her hair a last blow from the hairdryer before leaving the bathroom and headed for the dinner table.

Usually, all the spirits were at the side of the room, discussing about nothing in particular while everyone else would sit at the table, quietly chatting as they wait for the rest to arrive. But today, everyone was gathered around the table, as if expecting something to happen. The only people that weren't here are Ren, who was going to stay over night at his house and Ryu, who is still in China. When Wolves took her seat, Anna spoke up. "Don't you think there's something you should tell us?"

Wolves put on a confused and innocent face. "About what?" She eyed Tamao and Devilon carefully, seeing as they were the only ones who were there when it happened.

Tamao spoke up in her quiet voice, "I'm sorry Wolves, but I told them. I'm sorry, we're just so worried about you."

Wolves shrugged and put on a small smile. "It's okay. Anna would've known anyway, would you?" she said, giving Anna one of Yoh's grin.

"Wolves, this is serious," Anna said, worry leaking out of her emotionless mask.

"It's nothing, really. He didn't do anything, I swear," Wolves said with a calm voice. But Iik was the jumpy type of people –err ghost.

"Who's he? What happened? When did it happen? Where did it happen? Why did he do whatever he did? Are you hurt? Are you feeling all right? Any pains? Any headaches?"

Being twins with Iik really helps because she knew how to handle his jumpiness. "I'm feeling fine, Iik. Really. No pain, no headaches, no nothing."

"6 more questions to go," Anna said without removing her gaze from Wolves. Because of Anna's gaze, Wolves's cover-ups, Iik's jumpiness, and the dead silence in the background, everyone was uncomfortable in the serious atmosphere. Also meaning Horo was forced to not eat for at least another 30 minutes, until they sort everything.

Wolves sighed. Might as well as get it over with. "It was around 6 something when I got hungry. Remembering I still have some money with me, I went to the convenient store to get myself a snack. As I was walking away, I heard rustling in the trees and Devilon said it was someone with a really high amount of furyoku. So I started running home, not wanting to start a fight I might lose. But the someone followed me until I got to an empty lot, where I told him to show himself."

Wolves stopped to catch her breath and for others to soak in all the things she just said. Silently she reminded herself to leave out the peck-on-the-cheek part. Then said began again, "At first I thought I was one of you. It ends up it was the very boy that killed my family. Knowing his powers, I tried to come up with a plan, and that's where Tamao comes in. She called my name and then he left. Then here we are."

Horo, who was having trouble putting it all together, decided it would be better if he said it out loud, "Let me get this straight. The guy who killed your family and literally destroyed your life, is the very guy we're hunting down to kill?"

Wolves widened her eyes. "You're after Hao, too?" Then, out of the blues, came Lyserg, who was actually in the next room, popped his head through the door. "Did someone say Hao?"

Anna rolled her eyes. "Yes, have a seat Lyserg, and share your ingenious ideas to destroy Hao with us," she said in a bored tone.

Lyserg, being blinded by the fact that they were finally going to come up with a plan to destroy Hao, either didn't know or didn't care that Anna mocked him. He just took the seat next to Wolves and began ranting on and on, occasionally stuffing food into his mouth. Horo took this chance to begin eating, and officially declared the meeting over as everyone else began to eat.

(Wolves's POV)

Today was a long day. After dinner, I left to train in the backyard since Ren wasn't here to hog it. I still have a lot to improve on. Training with Ren showed me how weak I really was. If Iik and Devilon were to be captured, then I would've been completely helpless.

After training until sweat soaked my tank top, I lay down on the soft grass and gaze at the stars. Iik and Devilon were probably half way across the globe by now, seeing as tomorrow was Edmond's death day. Edmond, what are you doing now? We really need you. What can I do to make myself stronger?

Rain was gently falling from the sky, sprinkling water onto my face, and washing away my sweat. An awkward, yet comfortable silence took over. With the soft sound of heaven crying, the rain ended my day by slowly putting me to sleep, as if singing me a lullaby.
