*A/N: I'M NOT DEAD! But I will be soon… I'm still in school until June 11th. I know it took me forever to write this chapter and you will understand why. I will have an announcement at the end along with a question so please enjoy.*

Has there ever been a time when you felt the world around you is coming to an end and you think, "There is no way in hell this can get any worse," and then aliens kidnap you and bring you back to their world to do life threatening tests?... That's how I feel.

Ok, maybe it's not THAT bad…but it's pretty damn close. I feel like I can no longer trust anyone. Not just the people around me, but I can't trust myself either.

The worst part is that whenever I look into the mirror I see a monster… Wait, I never got a chance to talk about the mirror shard, have I? You see those four years in the forest weren't so bad, I came across a small village and a girl by the name of Isabel. Isabel had this enchanted mirror that didn't show a person's appearance but instead showed the person who they really are. I did a favor for Isabel before she passed and her mirror shattered, before I left Isabel's sister gave me a small pouch that had a shard of the mirror and all she said was, "She would have wanted you to have it."

When I first looked into the mirror I saw an image of myself in a suit of white armor with the Kiba emblem and holding my father's sword, I liked it. It made me believe that I can become a hero and save others, however I'm now something far from that.

How can I trust others if I can't even trust myself? How can I make the right choice if I don't even know what's right or wrong anymore?

How can I do good, when I'm anything but that?

Mixed Feelings

~ Two Weeks Later ~

~ Ai ~

Two weeks have passed since Ai told Okami the truth about her sister and Okami wasn't taking it very well. Okami was said little to nothing to team RWBY or Ai, Okami had been spending her nights in the woods and would sit at the opposite side of the dinning hall during meals.

Okami remained distant from everyone; one thing she did notice though was that Okami had this glass shard that she would constantly look into. In fact, there was this one team that kept giving Okami a hard time and this one guy with a huge mace took it from Okami…she didn't hesitate to beat the crap out of them.

Today was the first time Okami came back to the dorm, she just laid on her futon and stared up at the ceiling. Ai made some cups of tea and handed one to Okami.

"How are you feeling?" Ai asked with great concern.

"…" Okami didn't speak; she just gave a mean glance towards Ai before turning away.

"If you want to talk, I'm willing to listen." Ai said giving a small comforting smile.

Okami still didn't say anything, instead she got up and walked over to the window and opened it. Then she did something Ai didn't expect, Okami leaned out the window and roared as loud as she could.

"Okami what are you doing?!" Ai asked covering her wolf ears.

The first roar caused the window to rattle; Okami noticed this and glared at the window as if it pissed her off that the window didn't break.

"Okami, wai-!"

The second roar was louder than the first, the window rattled along with the windows surrounding the dorm. When the roar started to subside a large crack appeared on the window, but it still didn't satisfy her.

"Okami, stop!"

The third roar was louder than the two before and sounded as if it came from something even more dangerous than the creatures of grimm. The windows surrounding the dorm all rattled and shattered…all except theirs.

It looked as though Okami was going to roar again so Ai ran and embraced her in a hug. Ai noticed that Okami was shaking and looked up to see Okami break. Sobs took control of her body and tears were heavily flowing down her face. Okami fell down to her knees and Ai went down with her; she kept Okami in her embrace and started to stroke Okami's head to get her to calm down.

"Okami, I'm always here for you."

The two wolf faunuses stayed that way for a bit before Okami stood, however when Okami got back on her feet she took her right fist and smashed it into the window causing it to shatter and her hand to get cut up.

Soon after, Okami and Ai heard shouting coming from RWBY's dorm so they walked in to see Yang and Blake in a very heated argument. Blake looked as if she was on the verge of breaking down and Yang's eyes were red with anger and Weiss said something that really didn't help.

"I swear, you two remind me of beauty and the beast." The ice princess said from her bed.

That was the last straw for Blake, the cat faunus broke down in tears and ran out of the room and Yang turned her angry glare towards Weiss.

"Hey, don't call Blake a beast! That's rude!"

"What are you talking about, Blake is the beauty." Okami said speaking for the first time in weeks. However, Yang didn't like what she said.

"Oh, so I'm the beast? Do you not remember what you did two weeks ago?" Yang snapped.

Okami glared back at the blonde brawler and growled. "What are you trying to say?"

"I'm saying that if anyone here is a beast it's you!" Yang shouted taking a step forward.

"Well at least I don't make the people around me feel like total crap." Okami replied in an angry voice.

That was the final straw, Yang ran forward and punched Okami hard on the side of her face and in return Okami kicked Yang hard in the stomach causing her back off a bit. However, Yang wasn't finished and neither was Okami. Ruby and Weiss jumped up to hold back Yang while Ai ran in front of Okami to stop her from killing Yang.

"Okami, why don't you go find Blake-san?" Ai suggested.

Okami lowered her fists and nodded, she turned and walked out the door while Yang yelled and called her things that weren't so nice.

Ai turned and gave a menacing glare that made Yang take a large gulp.

"You and I need to talk."

~ Okami ~

A lot has happened to Okami recently and she knew her friends were worried about her, but at times like this she wanted to be alone and now she is wondering through the forest looking for her cat faunus friend.

It wasn't too hard for her; she followed the sent of catnip and soon found herself in a small clearing with a pond in the center with Blake sitting directly above it on a tree branch.

"I thought cats hated water." Okami said up to the crying Blake.

Blake took a deep breath and wiped away her tears. "Not all of them, I like being near water."

"Mind if I join you up there?" Okami asked.

Blake patted the spot next to her and Okami climbed up the tree. Soon Okami felt something warm dripping down from her lips, she raised her left hand and found that the warm substance was blood. She also noticed that her right arm was still bleeding as well.

"Damnit, Yang must have spit my lip with that punch."

Okami turned away from Blake so she wouldn't see the blood, Blake noticed and grabbed the side of her face and pulled towards herself so that Okami would face her. Blake then noticed the blood and the bruise forming under Okami's left eye.

"Yang?" Blake asked and Okami nodded, then Blake shook her head. "I swear, what am I going to do with that girl…"

It was quiet for a short while before Okami spoke up. "About what happened earlier, I don't think Weiss was trying to offend you. I think she was just using those two characters as an example."

Blake shook her head again. "No, I know that there are people who see me as a beast…"

It went quiet again and Okami noticed that Blake wasn't wearing her bow. "So, they're purple."

Blake looked at Okami with a confused expression. "Excuse me?"

"Your cat ears." Okami responded with a smile. "You never told me what color they were that day and this is the first time I've ever seen them. I like them, besides, you better without the bow."

Blake looked away from Okami. "Not everyone thinks the way you do though…"

It fell quiet again and Okami came up with an idea, she reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a small pouch. "I want to show you something."

Blake turned and saw the pouch Okami was holding up. "What is that?"

Okami then opened the pouch and poured what looked like tiny pieces of glass, but as soon as the pieces touched her skin the glass melted together making a small mirror. "I doubt anyone sees you as a beast, this mirror will prove it."

Blake took the mirror into her hands and gasped at what she saw. In her reflection she saw herself without her bow and her cat ears were out, she was smiling and surrounded by humans and faunuses alike, and she wore this beautiful dress. No one was picking on her, in fact she seemed to be the person everyone adored.

"What is this?" Blake asked.

"I got that from a girl I met a while ago, that mirror has the ability to show a person for who they really are."

"What do you see when you look?"

Okami turned away; she didn't want Blake to know. However, Blake was curious and put the mirror in front of Okami.

Okami's reflection wasn't nice… Staring back at them was a beowolf without the mask grimm wear, there were no bones, and no spikes. All there was, was a face with black fur and red eyes…Kira.

"No one sees you as the beast…" Okami said. "…that's because I am the real one."

Blake was about to say something when Okami told Blake to go back to her dorm and make up with her girlfriend.

"Aren't you coming?" Blake asked when se noticed Okami stopped at the edge of the forest.

"You go ahead, there's something I need to do."

Blake nodded and started heading back on her own.

Okami walked back into the forest and climbed up another tree. She pulled out a journal and was about to read it when she caught the sent of berry bushes.

"It's winter and there's snow, the snow should have covered up the sent of berry bushes…unless someone else is here."

Okami quickly climbed further up the tree and hid herself with whatever leaves were left and stayed perfectly still. Her breathing slowed and her heart raced, a feeling she was familiar with. A smile crept on her face as her memory went back to her time in the forest…

Two minuets passed when a shadow appeared on the snow at the base of the tree. The figure wore a black cloak that was tattered, the cloak danced in the soft wind and the hood was pulled over the person's face so she was unable to see who it was. The unknown person stopped directly under the tree and looked around, at that moment Okami dropped down on him.

Okami knocked the person to the ground, the two struggled and Okami connected her right fist to his face causing his hood to slip off.

"Damn, you're punches are getting boring… Try dropping a nevermore head on me or something." Said a familiar voice.

The boy in the hood was about four inches taller than Okami, he had short black hair and stubble on his face, and he had an odd shape to his jaw as if someone punched him and broke his jaw years ago….wait a second…

"…Aleks?..." Okami asked lowering her fist. "But…you're dead…"

"Yeah, I thought I was too." Aleks said with a smile as he brushed himself off. "Have you ever seen yourself when you loose control? You nearly ripped my heart out."

Okami saw Aleks in front of her, but she couldn't believe it. He seemed so much different than she remembered. His eyes were no longer grey but a sky blue similar to Okami's. To be sure, Okami took her left fist and placed it where the indent was on his jaw and she didn't believe any of it until her fist was a perfect fit.

"H-How?..." Okami asked backing away from her friend. "The blood, the drag marks…you are supposed to be dead…"

"Well, it's kinda hard to not spill blood when your chest is torn open." He said scratching the back of his head. "As for the drag marks, I wasn't able to walk after our little…episode."

Okami just stood there; her feelings were so twisted and mixed up. Finally she dropped to her knees making the snow crunch beneath them.

"You never came back…this whole time I though you were dead…" Okami said on the verge of tears. "…I thought I killed you…"

Okami began to cry and Aleks dropped to one knee and looked Okami in the eye.

"Hey, calm down." Aleks said in a calming tone. "I couldn't find you. It took a long time for Akumu Kage to become dormant again, by the time I came back the snow covered your tracks. I've searched all over and finally I left Vale wondering if you went to another kingdom."

The two friends talked for what seemed to be an eternity, they talked about their adventures, their heart break, and their…situations.

"I would love to stay and chat, but I have some business to take care of at Beacon." Aleks said as he stood.

"Wait!" Okami said quickly scrambling to her feet. "At least give me your scroll number so we can stay in contact."

Aleks nodded and programmed their scrolls so they could have each other's numbers in their contacts. After that, Aleks waved farewell to Okami and headed off in the direction of Beacon.

After that little deal with Aleks. Okami went back into her tree and pulled out the journal she was going to read before. She leaned back against the base of the tree and read the cover.

"My Dearest Daughter, Okami."

Okami let out a large sigh as she opened the cover and began to read.

~ Ai ~

"I hope you've learned your lesion." Ai said walking away from a crying Yang and a very scared Weiss and Ruby.

"I-I'm so sorry!" Yang shouted while Ai slammed the door in her face.

"I swear to god, the next time she does that I won't hold Okami back…"

Ai walked back to the door of her dorm when she decided she wanted some fresh air. As she was walking, she thought about some things.

"I already told Okami about her sister but that isn't the only bad news I have…after what I said about Tsume I thought it would be able to tell her but it's not. I love her and I don't want to see her get hurt… But she needs to know that there is another reason why we can't go back home."

Ai continued to walk deep in thought when she picked up on the scent of cat nip.

"Hey Blake." Ai tiredly said as she walked around the corner to be face to face with the cat faunus.

"Hey," Blake said a bit surprised that Ai was able to know she was nearby. "how are things going in there?"

"Yang is a good person and I can tell that she cares for you very much along with Ruby and Weiss… But I promise you the next time she calls Okami a 'monster' I won't hesitate to leave a bump on her head."

Blake giggled at the comment and Ai smiled at the fact she was feeling much better now.

"Hey, where's Okami?" Ai asked looking for her fellow wolf faunus.

"Oh, she told me to head back on my own. I could tell a lot was on her mind so I didn't question her, last I saw she was still sitting on the tree branch over the pond." Blake said pointing in the direction of the forest.

Ai nodded and smiled. "Thank you, I think I'll go check on her, it's starting to get dark."

Blake nodded in agreement and walking back to her dorm. Ai let out a large sigh and looked in the direction of the woods.

"How on earth am I suppose to tell the person I love most that Father put me in an arranged marriage?..."

Ai kept thinking about this while she walked into the forest. She was so deep in thought that she didn't even realize there was a person standing in front of her until she ran into him.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" She said quickly, then she looked up and saw the man's face. "Oh, it's only you Aleks."

Aleks smiled down at her at the mention of his name. "I'm surprised you can recall my name and be so peaceful around me after knowing what I am."

"It's not like you are a monster, I know you are a good person at heart… I'm sure you are here to collect payment for helping me track Okami." Ai said as she searched for the sack carrying 500 Lien, she found it and tossed it to Aleks.

Aleks caught it before it could hit him in the face; he looked at it for a long moment before he tossed it back to her. "That won't be necessary, just knowing she is still alive after what I did that day is payment enough."

Aleks started to walk past her but Ai stopped him before he could. "What are you going to now?"

Aleks looked in the direction Beacon was and smiled. "I think I'm going to see how my old team is doing and see if they'll let me stay the night with them." After that he walked towards the school and waved a fare well to Ai.

Ai smiled at his back and turned to continue searching for Okami.

~ Okami ~

It wasn't easy but she did it, she finished reading her father's journal. It wasn't much; it was one letter he wrote on Okami's birthday saying that he wished they could have been together… After that she must have fallen asleep, because now she was lying in a snowy clearing back in the Dark Shadows Forest.

Okami sat up scanning the trees fearing someone would see her but no one was there, no one but a girl wearing a red cloak and hood.

"Ruby?" Okami called hoping it was indeed her short energetic friend.

The girl was standing at the edge of the clearing; she didn't respond to Okami but instead turned around and walked down a narrow path that wasn't littered with trees.

"H-Hey, what up!" Okami said as she tried to quickly get to her feet to follow.

"Red like Roses fills my Dreams and brings me to the place you Rest…"

Okami jumped at the sound of the beautiful voice that was singing.

"Who goes there!?" Okami called out, but no one was around.

Okami turned and saw that the girl with the red cloak was gone and all that was left was a pile of rose petals that was scattered down the path she was walking.

Okami ran towards the path the girl was walking down to see if she could see the girl. All she saw was rose petals…

"…White is Cold and always Yearning, burdened by the royal Test…"

Okami started to walk down the path following the trail of rose petals assuming they were left by the girl. The further Okami walked down the path the louder the singing became. Okami looked up and saw a black cat with amber eyes resting on a ranch above her.

"…Black the 'Beast' Descends from Shadows…"

At this point Okami has realized the voice was coming from inside her head. Okami continued to walk when she heard a loud crack, thud, and what sounded to be burning wood. Okami turned around to see a tree had fallen over and blocked the path she came from and the tree was being consumed by a large and fierce fire.

"…Yellow Beauty Burns…Gold."

The fire began to spread to the other trees causing them to fall over making the fire grow larger. Okami became full of fear at the site before her, she turned and ran as fast as she could down the path littered with rose petals.

She ran until she could no longer run, she stopped to collect her breath and realized she was at another clearing. At this moment she also noticed her clothes had changed; she was wearing a charcoal sleeveless gi with black accents, black pants, and a black belt. She was wearing her hunting uniform…

Okami looked up to see a large rock with words carved into it. Okami walked closer to read it.

"Here is the entrance to the Kiba family tomb.

May the blood line of great heroes rest in peace."

When Okami finished reading to stone she heard a growl and turned to see a beowolf with no bones or armor and red glowing eyes…Kira.

Kira roared and charged at Okami, Okami got into her fighting stance preparing for the worst. Kira was only three yards away from Okami when she suddenly stopped and turned into a large pile of black dust, behind the pile was a white wolf with blue eyes.

The wolf walked around the dust pile and Okami to stand next to the large rock. Once it reached it's destination, it turned towards Okami and howled. Okami rubbed her eyes and when she opened them the wolf was gone and standing in it's place was a tall man.

The man looked to be about 6'8" with a strong muscular body. He wore a royal male sleeveless yukata, his left arm had the Alpha 'A' tattoo with two wolves on the side of it, on his right arm was a tattoo of the original White Fang symbol and Kiba family. His hair was long and tied into a high pony tail and color as white as snow. His face was rough and tough looking with many scars; his eyes were a beautiful shade of gold. When he saw Okami his white tail began to wag and in his smile were two sharp fangs…This man was Kenji Kiba, Okami's father.

"Okami," Kenji said still smiling. "you have grown so much…you look just like your mother Elizabeth."

"Don't act like you know me!" Okami snapped. "You abandoned me the day I was born! Don't act like you've cared about me!"

Kenji winced at Okami's words as if it greatly hurt him. "If I had brought you back to the palace with me then the identity of your mother would have been exposed. People would have known you were half human, they would have killed you before I could defend you. That's why I created the White Fang, so that faunuses could make peace and accept mixed bloods like you."

"You could have told me! You could have told me you were my father! You could have at least 'adopted' me to keep me from living off the streets!" Okami yelled, this anger has swelled up inside her for so long and it felt good to let it out.

"Don't you think I tried?!" He shouted back. "My father wouldn't let me but I went behind his back and retuned to the place I left you but at that point the wolf guardian found you and took you in! I couldn't take you back after that!"

Okami's expression softened at what Kenji had said. "If you really do care about me, then what would my name be?"

"Your mother wanted you to have a name native to our people, she wanted your name to be 'Mei'." Kenji continued. "I wanted to name you after her, 'Elizabeth Woods Kiba'."

Okami took a moment to let all of this sink in. "'Mei'…I would have had an ordinary name…"

"I would love to chat with you but we don't have much more time." Kenji said with a serious tone in his voice. "I have come here to warn you about the near future."

Okami looked at him and nodded for him to continue.

"A storm is drawing near, your sister Tsume has formed an army and I fear many will not like the outcome." Kenji said. "Tsume has framed you for many evils while she sits on a throne she is not fit for. She has rallied the village to invade the humans and other forms of faunuses and wipe them off the face of the earth."

Okami shook her head in disbelief. "Tsume would never do that! Why would she do all of this?"

"I don't know, I have never sensed this much negative energy from her while I was alive. It has grown greatly over the past five years."

Okami continued to shake her head in shame as she started to back away. "Look, I understand this is terrible and all…but why are you telling me all of this?"

"Because you are the one who is going to stop it."

Okami's head shot up when he said that. "What? ME!? HOW!?... I've faced my sister once before and she kicked my ass without even trying!"

Kenji smiled. "Okami, during your life you have experienced things no one at the village has experienced before. You have discovered things about the wolves and humans that the wolf faunuses will never understand until someone like you can show them the truth. I believe you are the one from the prophecy…"

"Prophecy? What prophecy?" Okami asked.

From the path behind her, she and Kenji can vaguely hear Ai's voice calling for Okami.

"I'm afraid we have run out of time." Kenji said before he faced Okami. "Okami, listen to me. Go to the shrine of the Captured Grimm and fetch the amulet of 'the original ookami', it will help you regain your wolf spirit and keep her under control! However, you will need my help; go to this tomb and fetch my sword and armor, they will help you on your journey. But you must remember; the armor will only protect those who have no selfish intentions, and the sword can never slay the innocent."

A harsh wind began to blow starting to push Okami back down the path she came.

Kenji embraced Okami in a brief and tight hug before he let her go. "Don't worry, I promise you everything will be ay okay."

The wind blew stronger and Okami had to hold on to a nearby tree to keep from falling over. "Kenji!"

"Okami, stay strong and live in peace."

Ai's voice called Okami's name once more. The wind was growing stronger by the minuet.

"KENJI!" Okami yelled holding on for dear life.

Kenji turned around and started to walk to what looked to be a moderate sized temple.

"FATHER!" Okami yelled just before her hands slipped and the wind blew her away from the father she was just beginning to like…

"Okami!" Ai yelled trying to shake Okami to wake up.

When Okami finally woke up they began walking back to Beacon while Okami told her about speaking to her father.

"I have to go back, I have to stop Tsume from going threw with this plan of hers." Okami concluded.

Ai grabbed Okami's arm and shook it hard. "You can't go back, Tsume will kill you! If you were to go back then I would follow you and if I go back…"

"What will happen if you go back?" Okami asked curiously.

"I will get married and lose you…" Ai said. "My father has made an arranged marriage…if I go back I will be forced to marry him…"

Okami was trying hard to let it all sink in. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I didn't want you to get hurt…" Ai sad in a sad tone. "Okami, let's leave! Let's run away and live happily together! Let's leave Beacon, let's leave the forest, let's leave Vale and live in a new kingdom! Let's go and live a new life!"

Okami shook her head. "I'm tired of running. This place is my home and I want to stay here with my friends until I die. I'm not going anywhere."

Ai nodded in understanding and a tear fell down her face. "When did you know you fell in love with me?"

Okami smiled. "I guess I'll have to show you that one day."

Okami started walking towards Beacon as Ai wiped away her tears. "I almost forgot, I've talked to professor Ozpin."

"About what exactly?" Okami asked with curiosity hinted in her voice.

"He has established us as a team, from now on we will be known as team OKAY (Okami Kiba and Ai Yukimoto, can be pronounced O-K-Aye)."

Okami started laughing and Ai asked her if she hated their team name. "No, I think it is ay okay."

"You sure do have a weird sense of humor, Father…"

Okami continued to walk when Ai told her the important part though. "Ozpin has also appointed you as the team leader."

Okami turned in shock at hearing that. "What!? I can't be a leader, not after what happened last time! I'll kill you, I'll lead you to your death like I did to my team while I was a hunter!"

"Okami, you'll be fine." Ai said stroking Okami's ears to calm her down. "Even if you were to lead us to our deaths, I would gladly follow."

Okami didn't say anything, she just stood there and stared so Ai spoke up. "Come on it's getting dark, let's go back home to Beacon."

~ Team OKAY Dorm ~

Okami was in a dark room surrounded by mirrors; she slowly sat up and looked around.

"Okami…"

Okami turned towards the source of the voice and saw a mirror that had been cracked and missing a piece towards the center.

"Wait, isn't that…"

Okami got up and walked over to the mirror and touched it. The piece that was missing was exactly where Okami's head was and the reflection that was visible showed a black beowolf standing in front of it.

"This is Isabel's mirror…"

"Yes, and you carry the final piece, do you not?"

Okami reached into her pocket and pulled out the pouch with the shard. She got the glass out and placed it in the empty hole. The mirror glowed as the glass fused together becoming whole again, in the reflection was Okami exactly how she looked standing before the mirror.

"I don't understand, why do I see myself? I thought I'm supposed to see what I am on the inside."

"You are, I am you and you are me. That is an advantage of having a wolf spirit."

Okami jumped back startled by her own reflection. "Who are you?!"

"As I said before, I am you and you are me. You've had the liberty of calling me, 'Kira'."

"Wait, YOU'RE Kira?!" Okami took an even closer look at her reflection and noticed that the image she was seeing was a reflection of herself when she first came to Beacon plus a tail. "There is no way you are Kira, Kira is a killer and far more aggressive then you are."

"Yes, I normally am more aggressive but it is not for the reason you think. That scar on your back and stomach are no mere coincidences, someone is trying to control you through me with their aura. I cannot tell you who because I have been at rest inside you until we were attacked."

"So if you technically aren't really Kira, then what is your name?"

"People call me many things; however I have no real name."

"…Would it be alright if I gave you a name? Just something to call you by…"

The reflection raised an eyebrow. "You would wish to name me? You want to rename someone you call 'Killer' with something nicer? You want to show mercy for someone you see as a monster? What type of name do you wish to bestow upon me?"

Okami paused to search for the right words to say. "Well, you are me so why don't I give you my real name? 'Mei'."

"The name your mother wished to name you?"

"Well, yeah. It's not like I'm ever going to use it. I have my own name, a name I created my own."

The reflection smiled. "In that case, I will accept this name. It has a very nice ring to it… Okami, I need to speak with you about something important."

Okami looked to Mei with all seriousness before the spirit continued to speak. "We need to speak of your near future."

Okami groaned. "Not you too! Everyone wants me to do what THEY believe is right! Tsume wants me dead, my father wants me to stop her, Ai wants to run away and Ozpin wants me to be a leader!"

"Okami, calm down! I'm here to talk about what you want to do."

Okami stopped flipping out and turned to Mei in shock. "What I want to do? I want peace, I want to help humans and faunuses alike. I want my father's legacy to be corrected and not be a name of crime. I want the village to be steered back into the right path. I want to settle down back at home, to have a family. I want to be a hero…like my father."

"Okami, Kenji was a legend…YOU are the hero, if you are willing to fight for it. What you desire are truly great things that can bring much happiness to many, but is also the most difficult to achieve. Sometimes happiness requires great sacrifice…"

Okami nodded and looked at Mei. "I understand, but where do I start?"

"I believe Kenji told you where to start." Mei smiled and raised her hand towards Okami, her hand came out of the mirror and reached for her hand. "Follow me."

Okami took her hand and stepped inside the mirror. They where now in a long dark hallway with a very bright white light at the end. Mei began to walk towards the light and Okami quickly followed.

As they walked, Okami noticed there were images on the walls and soon realized they were all of her. She looked closer and saw that the images were moving.

The first image she saw was of a young man with white hair and wearing a blue scarf. The man was crying and carrying a bundle in his arms, he stopped on the side of the road that appeared to be in the village and sat the buddle in a soft pile of dirt. He then took the scarf off from around his neck and wrapped it around the bundle, he then got up and ran off. The bundle he left behind…held a new born baby…Okami. Okami looked toward Mei and noticed she had a pained expression.

They continued walking when another image caught Okami's attention. In this image was a 12 year old Okami surrounded by fire laying on her stomach, her clothes were shredded and four sickening claw marks were on her back. Okami faced Mei again, only this time to see a beowolf with red eyes staring back at her.

They continued to walk when Okami stopped at another image. This time Okami was the same age she was now wearing armor from her head to toes. In her right arm was a one handed katana and she was riding on top of a giant white wolf. Okami took a quick glance at Mei and saw that her eyes were now blue.

The fourth image was Okami who looked a little bit older. She was simply running through the dark forest she grew up in and was carrying a black basket. Okami was afraid to, but she looked at Mei again and saw she now had white fur.

The fifth had a tall girl with brown hair and blue highlights talking to another girl who was slightly taller and had black hair. They both had brown eyes and looked to be sisters and Okami didn't understand why she saw them. Okami looked down to see that Mei was now a real wolf.

The sixth image showed Okami much older now hugging a young female wolf faunus. Once again Okami didn't understand why and didn't question it. Mei's sky blue eyes were now glowing.

The last image was close at the end of the hallway and was a picture of a statue. The statue was a life size Okami who looked to be in her teenage years, she was in her casual clothing with a quiver on her back, a bow in her hand, a sword on her hip, and a friendly smile on her face. At the foot of the statue was a plaque.

Kiba Okami

The greatest Hero and Alpha that has and ever will exist.

Okami turned to look at Mei but turned away from a blinding light.

"We may not be able to speak like this again until you have the amulet. We will talk again soon Okami, until then I wish you luck."

The light suddenly disappeared along with everything else but the floor.

"I know you said you want to fix your father's legacy…but honestly, a new legacy begins now."

Suddenly the floor vanished and Okami fell…

Okami opened her eyes to see it was still dark out. She looked over to see the wolves and Ai still sleeping so she quietly got up and got dressed.

She walked out to the woods checking that no one followed her until she reached the spot she tackled Aleks to the ground and sent out a message on her scroll. 15 minuets later Aleks showed up.

"So what's the big emergency?" He asked tiredly.

"I need you to do a favor for me." She replied. "I need you to take care of team RWBY and Ai for me, don't let them come for me no matter what."

"What do I tell them when they wake up?" He asked.

"Tell them that I'm going to make things right and I don't want them to get hurt."

"You know, they aren't going to like it…"

"I know, but I have to do this on my own. You can handle it, right?"

"…Yeah, I can."

Okami started to run off when Aleks stopped her. "Hey, just promise me you will be safe."

Okami gave him a sad smile. "I can't make promises I know I can't keep…"

Okami turned and ran through the woods, for the first time in years Okami was going back to the Dark Shadows Forest. For the first time in four years, Okami was coming home…

"DAMNIT!" The girl yelled as she smashed her fist into the table.

"There is no way that stupid mutt figured out my plan! I may have to more those plans up ahead of time…"

"Um, your majesty?" Said a voice from behind.

The girl turned and smiled upon seeing who had spoken. "Ah, Yukimoto-kun, just the person we wanted to see."

"Please, just Yon would be fine." Said Ai's younger brother as he bowed. "Is there a reason you called for me?"

"Yes, I need you to gather all of the hunters and set a perimeter around the village. An unwanted guest is making her way toward us."

"May I ask who?" Yon asked.

"The same person who killed your father and stole your sister." The girl replied.

Yon growled. "Let me go after her! I will rip her to shreds!"

"There is no need to do that if she is coming to us. If she doesn't arrive in a month and a half then you may have the pleasure of tracing her down. I also need you to send word out to Adam, tell him I need him here sooner than expected."

Yon did not agree with the girl's decision, but he held his tongue and trebled in anger quietly. He finally calmed himself down and responded.

"Yes, Alpha Tsume…" He then bowed and left.

Tsume walked over to the nearest window and looked out in the direction of the Kiba family tomb.

"You aren't going to ruin my plans so easily, mutt. I will leave you a warning this time, but next time I will kill you…Okami."

*A/N: DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN! What will happen next?! Well find out in the next chapter, duh!

As we all know, season two of RWBY will be premiering VERY soon. I just want to make it clear that this story was thought of and created after the FIRST season. In other words, this story takes place right after the first season so season two will not take place at all in this story.

In other news, we are now in the home stretch of this story. We have less than 15 more chapters until we reach the end. Don't be sad, I will make another story…maybe… So thank you to everyone who has been with us since the beginning to everyone who this just for the lemon and even to the people who were just bored as f***, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

So here is the question… Who is your favorite villain in this story and why? The people who can be considered to be villains are: Mr. Schnee, Yukimoto-kun, Kira, Tsume, Yon, and even Okami (only in terms of causing trouble between Blake and Yang).

Well, till next time!*
