Chapter 7: Nothing to do.

Thank you to all of those who read my stories, especially this one. Thing is, with all the weird weather we are getting over here, the internet keeps cutting out around Cross Timbers and I can't log on, so I will update as much as I can when I can, promise.

Jou sat and stared at the wall across from him, coutning all the little bumps he spotted on the surface. '1003, 1004, 1005...' "What are you doing" He was rudely brought out of his daze when a pair of cold blue eyes obstructed his vision.

"AHHH" He cried out, falling off of his perch and onto his backside. "Ouch." He looked at the wall angrily. "Dammit Kaiba! You made me lose count"

Kaiba gave the blonde a confused look. "The mutt can count? Wow." He turned to look behind him. "And what were you counting anyway"

"None of your business dimass" Jou stood with a grunt. (Dimass is my word, I went to call one of my friend dimwit and dumbass at the same time, it came out dimass, so no one steal or use it, please?)

Suddenly a scream jolted them from their quarrel as Yugi came running up to them, yammering about something they just couldn't catch. "This apple... scared the life... spoke..."

Jou stared at the smaller demon before sighing. "Yugi" The smaller of the three instantally shut up. "Slow down. Now what is wrong."

"And apple spoke to me! I have said that three times now"

"Like we could understand the words that were spilling from your mouth." Kaiba drawled out sarcastically. "And apples can't talk"

"This one did" Yugi screamed. Jou was thinking his best bud had finally lost his marbles. "Come with me, I will show you! The stupid thing told me not to eat it or else"

Jou rolled his eyes, but followed the boy none the less. After a tniy walk Yugi picked up the offending apple. "This is it"

"It looks like an ordinary apple to me." Kaibe said, rolling the red object from hand to hand.

Jou sniffed the air slightly before grinning very suddenly, picking up a knife from the table the apple was on, he pulled the apple away from Kaiba and grinned again. "If she doesn't want to open up and say hi. Why not just peel her then ne"

"What are you talking about" Kaiba gave a curious look as he watched the knife come closer to the taught red skin.

"Knock it off fuckface" The apple screamed, earning a scared look from Yugi, and a dumbfounded one from Kaiba. But Jou;s face was proud. Tossing the ranting object in the air he watched a poof of blue smoke appear before a young girl stood in front of them. "You didn't have go that far."

The girl had flowling reddish-brown hair, peircing brown eyes, a fluffy brown tail and small brown ears. "Couldn't help it Shizu. I know that scent anywhere, and you scared Yugi, so I had to scare you."

Shizuka pouted. "It is still not fair. He was going to try and eat me" She said, pointing an accusing finger at Yugi.

"So, a shapeshifter. How do you two know each other" Kaiba interjected, looking back and forth between the two.

"She is my little sister." Jou said, before making his face serious. "But you were sold off. We both were, to different sides of the district. What are you doing here"

"The lavery law was abolished in my district, and soon will be here." Shizu said happily, before going sad. "But father found out, and wants his children back now." She said, kicking at the ground. "He is looking for me, and will be after you soon."

Jou's jaw was clenched, knuckled going white from his hands balled up into tight fists. His father was searching for them. And he didn't need clews as to where they were, he had a wolves nose, he could smell the mout with ease. "Shizuka. Tell me everything."

(character switch.)

A large black wolf looked out at the town below his feet. One he had just destroyed because he did not find what he was looking for in it. He was built like a tank, with a silver stripe running from his blind right eye, all the way down to his right shoulder blade. His good eyes looked at his surroundings, as his nose read the story the wind carried to him before growling deep into his chest. He found the scent he was looking for. Two mutts, that were going to become his once again.

He started down the mountain. Remembering al to well how he got the silver scar that blemished his perfect jet black fur.

"You can't do this Korro! They are your kin" A steel gray dog stared at him, venom and hatred apparent in her eyes. "I will not let you ruin them by teaching them how to steal and be like you"

"They are my cubs and I will do with them as I please you damn bitch! Now move"

She burrowed deeper into the tree-fall, her broad shoulders stretching out the mouth of it slightly. "Go to hell" She sneered.

"Then you will go with me Mikata" He said, lowering his head, glowering at the dog before dashing forward for his first attack, which failed, as her sides were protected by the fall. He went at her again, only this time for one of her unprotected paws, and struck, leaving one of her four legs lame. Which in turn, made Mikata raise her head, showing her throat. He went for that in an instant, but only to be struck down in pain as Mikata tore out his right eye, and part of his shoulder.

He stared at her coldy through his good eye before losing all sanity, jumping straight for her face, she raised her head to fight back, and he sunk his jowls into her jugular, letting her blood through his mouth and onto the ground. He heard her croak before she went limp in his mouth. he dropped the lifeless body, which was now in human form, before licking his chops and entering the woodfall.

"Time to find my arrogant son and daughter." Korro sneered, following the story the wind was bringing him.

(Character switch)

"So he is on his way here as we speak" Jou as, fear evident in his voice.

"Yes." Shizuka said sadly.

"What is so wrong. Tell the guy you don't want to go." Kaiba interjected once again.

"It's not that easy. If he finds us, we are as good as..." A sharp howl brought them out of their conversation, making Jou jump to his feet. "Shit" He turned to Yugi. "Get the others. Shizuka, stay with Tea and Mai at all costs. Get my sister, the girls, and gramps into this house immediatally, along with everyone else"

"What the fuck is going on" Kaiba screamed, stopping Jou from running out of the door.

"My father is here."
