Disclaimer: I don't own plus anima, although it would be awesome if I did.

Nana and Husky made their way back to camp. They had walked through the forest for a couple hours; without warning Cooro crashed into both of them.
"What took you guys so long, we missed you."
"We're back aren't we?" Husky grumbled sitting up; Senri came walking over to them, Jenna trailing close behind. She glomped Husky cheerfully.
"Silver's back."
"Jenna get off me." He growled.
"Where're my new clothes?" Husky pointed to Nana, who handed the bundle to Jenna. She looked through them and smiled.
"These are great Silver!"Cooro blinked.
"Silver?"
"It's his name, I figured Husky was his nickname, I thought it was strange though. Back when we were servants, his name was Silver, for his hair, I called him Husky for his voice."
"So Husky was a maid?" Cooro asked innocently.
"I was not a maid!" Husky shouted; Senri backed away. Jenna chuckled.
"But you did wear the female uniform, willingly I might add. You were very cute." Thy all looked at Husk.
"It was an accident! I had only been in Astaria a few months, Astarians wear different clothes, and I was used to whole different kind of clothing for women and men!"
"Husky is not from Astaria?" Senri asked, his face scrunching up. Husky panicked, Jenna decided to help in this situation.
"I need to change, Husky will come with me? I need a body guard." She said dragging him off. Soon they were in a clearing, Husky sat on a rock, and his back turned to Jenna. Jenna changed out her short maid type outfit, into her new clothes. None of them noticed the three plus anima hiding behind the trees.
"Nice to see you've recovered from your incident." He made a grumbling sound.
"I wasn't sure it was you at first. Last time I saw you, you seemed so dead, lifeless, and so dull. How could you even live after that? I couldn't."
"I spent two years in oblivion, remembering nothing. I was like Senri, and it might have been permanent. I forgot living on land, speaking, my parents, everything." Jenna looked at him, the group's eyes were wide, and they had never heard anything like that.
"What changed it?"
"That bastard clown stole my earrings, I remembered why they were important, I remembered. I wasn't sure what to do with all these new memories." Jenna, fully dressed, hugged him.
"I should have protected you."
"Wendy lost her soul, neither of us could have done anything, we were betrayed."
"What happened?" Husky was quiet.
"We trying to escape and guards came. I didn't have a staff, and my plus anima was useless on land, Wendy used her own plus anima to fight them. They kept fighting and she lost it. She lost her soul and killed them all. Then, she came after me; she grabbed me pushed me to the ground, and then, and then-" He struggled not to cry, his voice was strangled.
"I'm sorry; I shouldn't have brought it up." He wiped away his tears quickly.
"What are you talking about stupid girl? I'm not upset; I am a boy after all." Jenna blinked.
"Yeah, but not a boy as much as a man; you've grown up well." Husky looked at her for a while.
"I'm going to Astar."
"Why? There are only bad things there."
"I'm visiting Duchess." Jenna's eyes widened.
"You always talked about her. You were right she was beautiful." Husky blinked.
"What?"
"Your Duchess is the one that set us free; she was heartbroken to hear about you."
"Sounds like her."
"I hope you know that if you return to Astar, I won't go with you."
"I wouldn't ask you to." Jenna's eyes drooped.
"Silver, I thought you should know that I saw Wendy before I saw you." He stiffened his eyes were wide.
"You did, well then, I guess I should be on my guard." He smirked.
"Don't get cocky, she's not alone now." She said severely.
"What?"
"Wendy, as you know is an awakened plus anima. She found other plus animas that have awakened."
"So she's looking for plus anima."
"Yes, she let me go because a rabbit can't awaken. She finding every plus anima of fierce animals she can find. There's one specific plus anima she's looking for."
"What kind?"
"Not what, who; and that who is you." Husky paled, and his hands shook.
"She wants me?"
"Yes, she told me, in that sick animalistic tone of hers, that she wanted you to become her mate." Husky laughed gruffly.
"Like I would ever agree."
"She won't care; her herd is pretty big now."
"We-uh most of us- can outsmart them." He grinned slyly.
"Not Wendy and Nina they retained some intelligence. Especially Wendy, she's a like a wolf, far too intelligent and strong for the four of you to handle."
"I'll handle my herd as long can handle yourself." She took a step back, as reconsidering her decision.
"I guess this is goodbye then."
"For now." She scrunched up her face.
"For now?"
"Well yeah, you didn't think we'd meet again but we did. So we could still meet again."
"Yeah, thank you Silver." Husky got off the rock and stood on tip toes, Nana's breath caught in her throat.
"Since I can trust you, I would like you to know my real name, not Husky, not Silver, my birth name." He whispered in her ear. Jenna's eyes widened. There was a touching moment between the two that is until, Jenna started laughing.
"Your name is hilarious, what, is that girl's name." His hair bristled and he whacked the air by her head.
"My mother named me that!" He hollered.
"And why is that?" She laughed.
"Because that's what I was, an impossibility, she was barren." Jenna stopped laughing.
"I'm sorry."
"Forget I said anything, get going already." He said gruffly, ruffling his hair uncomfortably.
"See ya Silver!" She shouted as she engaged her plus anima and ran through the woods. Husky turned with a fond smile on his face.
"Good ol' Jenna, she'll never change." He smiled.
"Better head back before those idiots manage to destroy everything." He sighed and turned around, then froze. Nana, Cooro and Senri were all there. His eyes were big; he took a few hasty steps back then broke into a run.
"Husky wait!" Cooro hollered. Senri ran after him and grabbed, he pulled back a rather annoyed Husky. Husky, despite being a thirteen year old boy, was still very small and very thin. He grumbled angrily at the adult who they been traveling with the last three years.
"Put me down Senri." He snarled, despite being small and the least intimidating face, he was the one could be the best bad cop so to speak.
"Husky, what did Wendy do to you?"Asked Cooro innocently. Husky's face flushed in embarrassment and rage, his normally white face a bright pink.
"Why in the world should I tell you?!"
"Because, we're your friends! Why won't you tell us?" Nana yelled.
"Because I had to spend two years in a self-induced amnesia just to accept that it happened!" He shouted loudly. He struggled out of Senri's grip.
"None of you know what it's like to be me."
"But we're all plus anima Husky."
"Not like me you aren't. Did you ever a life that was nothing but happiness? A Warm huge family with parents, sibling, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents who all loved you? Did you lose everything? Did somebody rip you out of your bed in middle of the night to kill you, only have turned a plus anima? Did you live in a family that becoming a plus anima meant execution, even if you were an infant? Were you taken away from everything you knew and loved as a seven year old child and thrown into a city where plus anima kept like pets?" Everyone was silent.
"I can never see my mother ever again if I care about her. If my father found out that I became, he would kill her. He would kill my sister too."
"Sister?" Asked Senri slowly.
"That's right, I have only one full sister, all the others are half-sisters, my twin sister, Meho."
"Husky, your sister, does she look like you?" Nana asked slowly, remembering her dream.
"My sister and I are identical in face, there are two differences. I'm a plus anima, and I am a boy."
"You said you wanted to go to Astar, why Husky?" Asked Cooro.
Husky said nothing for a long time.
"I wanted to see the person who first took care of me when I arrived here. Her name is Duchess. She takes in orphans in the city."
"So she keeps a huge family."
"Yeah, but, I was her favorite. The orphans she took in were either illegal immigrants sent by their parents, children kidnapped from other countries, or the children of immigrants who died. I was just some poor kid who found himself in a country with nowhere to go."
"You want to see her that badly."
"I'll never see my mother again, but I can see Duchess. I was plus anima when I met her. She didn't care."
"Well, I guess you will have to see her, there's no stopping you." He smirked.
"None."
"I guess we have to go with you then." Laughed Cooro. Husky gave them a rare smile he nodded.
