Allen and Timcanpy woke well before dawn. Allen gathered his stuff together before they headed out to find food for today. That's if Allen was lucky, because of the danger of zombies and ghouls he'd had to go without food sometimes.

Timcanpy hopped in and out of the surrounding shrubbery seeing if he could find any food for himself. Laughing at the bunnies antics Allen almost did not catch the wind.

Stopping Allen pulled his bow off his back. He sniffed the air to see which direction the danger would be coming from.

The two black wolves had followed the trail to an old house that was abandoned. They'd stayed there for a night and by the next day the were back to tracking the trail.

Instead of like when the creature they tracked was alone its pattern of movement had changed. With the other scent added they moved in differently.

The bigger of they two black wolves was an Alpha male named Kanda; and the slightly smaller female wolf was named Rinali. She was one of his Beta's and she'd tagged along on this trip to help Kanda hunt the creature down.

Nearly a week later Kanda was certain they'd gained on the other two. Their scents were becoming stronger. Along the way Kanda had also spotted evidence of someone killing of zombies.

With them coming closer to their prey Rinali and Kanda both noticed that at times the second scent was almost gone. One time Rinali had taken on a human form and climbed a nearby tree to find the scent high up in the tree's branched before the spirits had dropped her. Kanda's pack was akin to the spirits of the moon and sun. So, the lack of other spirits liking them was common.

As each lycan grew they would gravitate to certain spirits. Most packs were made up of like spirited lycans. While lone wolves either had no spirit connections or were a danger to their packs.

By the end of the second week they had decided to travel through the night to catch up with the now fragrant scent of both creatures.

Kanda soon came upon a small bedded down area where the scent of the two creature were as fresh as dew. Kanda growled alerting Rinali that they were close.

Looking around the area Rinali picked up the trail leading out of the camp to just outside the line of sight of the prey they'd come to find.

Timcanpy knew that he was being hunted by his masters old pack. But he was running for a good reason too. His master had told him to go and find their future.

And now here he was following Allen around. Allen was a very kind lycan, and was friends with the spirits of the woods. A very uncommon spirit to possess, as it is known to be the oldest and wisest of all the spirits.

Timcanpy was now just waiting for the two following him to catch up and bring the him and Allen back into the pack. They had been sent to retrieve him but not kill him.

Allen suddenly became alert, scenting the air around them. Tim followed his companions actions to find that...he knew who was sent to retrieve them. The lycan's were Kanda and Rinali. Kanda had become Alpha of the pack when Cross had disappeared; and Rinali was the younger twin of Komui, who was another Beta in the pack.

Timcanpy decided that he did not wish for his game of tag to end just yet; so, instead of going to the two lycan he hurried into the underbrush directly behind Allen.

Kanda smelled the small usagi but hadn't caught sight of him as of yet. No, Kanda's attention was now solely on the one who held the bow. The boy smelled of wood but also gave off the scent of lycan.

"Come out. I know you're there," the boy stated while he looked to find the source of his problem. "Both of you."

That surprised Kanda a little as he hadn't expected the boy to have that good of smell. That meant that the kid had to be a lone wolf. Only lone wolves developed such enhanced instincts as he had. They did it to survive.

Knowing this was going to get interesting real quick Kanda pounced on his prey the second he looked away.
