Chapter 8

"Did you find anything?" Ryan closed the book, to yet another dusty tome. The evening had gone on like that so far. Paul sighed, shaking his head. Looking at his watch, Ryan decided that now would be a good time to go to bed. Midnight was only an hour away, and if he was to come into his inheritance, he didn't want to be awake. "Let's go to bed. I do not want to be up when I come into my inheritance."

"Sure." Paul couldn't blame him. If is was anything like the first time he transformed into his other half, then he wouldn't wish for anything else on his good friend. Walking slightly behind Ryan, he walked down a hallway to the guest bedrooms, leaving Ryan alone.

"Where do I want to sleep?" It was only himself and Paul in the huge secluded mansion, waking up alone was something he didn't need. Following Paul seemed like the only option. Turning towards the hallway, he walked quickly down it, finding an open door, peeking inside he noticed there were two beds. "This works in my favor. I wonder if he already knew what I was going to do.' The possibility didn't seem unlikely. "Can I sleep here?"

Paul was in the bathroom, when he heard his friend's scared voice. 'I should have known he would come.' "Yes, just pick a bed."

Ryan looked at both beds, trying to decide which one would be better. "The one by the bathroom…" He mumbled to himself. This was a hard decision for him. A few minutes later Paul rejoined him, settling down in the bed further away from the bathroom door. Ryan had his decision made for him. Crawling into the bed, he pulled the covers up to his chin and clapped his hands, the room went dark with the exception of the bathroom light. Rolling onto his side, he bid his friend goodnight, who did the same in return. Both fell asleep instantly.

Nothing happened for a few hours, it wasn't until the early morning, around two am that Ryan started to experience an intense pain. Intense enough to jolt him from his sleep, sitting up he hugged his stomach, while biting his lip. A whimper left, as his bones rearranged themselves and new appendages were added. Ryan passed out a few minutes later, his lips bleeding slightly. In the morning Paul stirred slightly, turning himself to face Ryan, opening one hue he gasped. The man from before had changed drastically.

Getting out of bed he went to stir his friend awake. "Ryan, Ryan wake up." Soon after the hybrid groaned, lifting a hand to run it through his hair in a morning ritual for him. He stopped as he touched his shoulder length hair, instead of his normal shaggy dog cut. Opening his green hues, he sat up, resting himself against the headboard. "What the fuck?"

Paul smiled sheepishly. "Uhm. About those changes…They were bigger than you thought." That was all it took for Ryan to bolt of out bed and dart to the bathroom, faster then any human could. Ryan's jaw dropped, much like Paul's had before, when he took in his new features. Nothing had changed with his face, but his green hues were now speckled with silver. His ears had moved and changed to silver fox ears that now rested on top of his head. 'Must be part of my kitsune heritage. If only I knew where it came from…' The dark brown hair was now longer, with lighter brown highlights. 'Thank goodness, the highlights are normal.' Opening his mouth, Ryan noticed that his canines were elongated, showing off his vampire heritage and kistune. 'I wonder why that's showing? Am I taller?' The man was now a few inches taller, something that had to happen to accommodate his wings, which were coming out of his back. They were faerie like and silver like his ears. A very odd combination. Waving merrily behind him was a silver fox tail. The last of his new additions. His nails were clear and hard, his vampire side coming out again.

"Yeah. The problem is how do we cover them up, because I am supposed to be at work in…Two hours." Ryan wasn't due for work until nine, giving him some time to adjust to his new look. Not to mention find a way to hide it. He decided that a day off wasn't for him, and called Horatio the day before.

"The wings should be easy, just will them away." Ryan did just that, it was painful to say the least, but at least they were gone. In their place though were two faints lines, scars of what he had hidden behind them. The ripped shirt fell off completely, something neither man noticed before. "The fangs should be the same shouldn't they."

"Maybe." Before all Ryan had to do was will them away, and when he was hungry they would come back or when he wanted them to. The same had to work this time, hopefully. Fortunately it worked, replacing the canines and nails with his normal human look. The rest would take some spell work.

"I think we should look over your father's spell books." Ryan nodded his agreement, walking out of the bathroom, letting his clawed toes touch the carpet. The two walked out of the hallway, and went down the second one, on the right. Passing the dining room, kitchen, some bedrooms, and bathrooms, they finally landed at the library of the house. Even though dust covered the spine of every book, the two looked through them. Landing on one that looked helpful.

"This should work." Ryan said, pulling the book from its spot. Paul looked at the title and nodded, it was a book of basic and advanced spells. Sitting down at the table side-by-side the two opened the large tome. Flipping through various pages, they stopped at a glamour spell.

"This is the one you need." Paul pointed to a basic spell. Leaning over Ryan read the directions carefully, making sure he was right he cast the spell. A few minutes later, and Ryan Wolfe looked like the man he did the night before. Sighing he slumped back into his chair, it still have an hour and a half free to himself.

"Okay, now that I'm done. Let's go." Ryan stood up.

"Sure. I have work as well." Paul followed his friend, who walked out of the house and into his car. Getting inside they both said their goodbyes, and parted ways. The drive home was quiet once again for Ryan, who was wondering what he was going to do. He had noticed that his senses had gotten stronger, as well as his reflexes. Something his co-workers would find odd, if he gave any indication of being different. 'Lets hope they don't notice a thing.'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An hour and a half later brought Ryan to the front of the crime lab building. Around him people walked in and out, talked, and other things, giving Ryan a slight headache. Rubbing his temples, he walked in ready for his first day as a hybrid.

Upon walking in, Ryan found Horatio, who assigned him another case. One he would be working on with Eric. 'Just what I need at a time like this.' The soul mate idea was still fresh in his mind, and was something that he didn't want to think about. Nodding his head, he walked out the door, and to the crime scene. The new crime scene was at a house, where a family had been found dead, all killed with what looked they suspected was a nail gun. At least that was what Horatio had told him. Ryan sincerely hoped that wasn't the case, his last run in with a nail gun was still fresh in his mind.

When he pulled the car into the driveway thirty minutes later, he saw Eric kneeling outside, looking at the doorframe. Walking over Ryan breathed from his mouth, the scent of death lingered strong here, and was overwhelming his senses. 'I have to get used to this.' The smell although awful, held another scent, fainter then the other. Before Ryan could figure out whose scene it was, Eric looked up and saw him.

"Come on Wolfe, this crime scene doesn't have all day." Ryan grinned, walking towards his partner.

"What do we have so far?"

"Why don't you take a look for yourself." Eric stood up, walking over to his kit. Ryan walked into the house, careful to step over the doorframe. The inside of the house was normal with a table set for three, kitchen and other essential items. The only difference was the chalk outline of the three dead bodies that once laid in the house, blood was still there, but not much. Scanning the room, Ryan found a few things Eric had missed the first time including a strand of a hair, a piece of cloth.

Returning to the lab, the two worked through and solved the case. In the end a jealous girlfriend was mad because she found her lover was married, and had a family. It was almost like the typical case, but was sad.

"Why couldn't she just confront him about it? Why kill the family?" Eric asked, sadly. These kind of things tore him apart. His own father had cheated on his wife, but something like this had never happened. It was a sad story to those people it did happen to though.

"Who knows…" Ryan trailed off, he was deadbeat tired from the night before and wanted to go home. Thankfully his wish was granted, when Horatio announced the team could leave early. After a short ride, Ryan dragged himself into his house, and fell asleep on the couch.

A/N: Review plz. The next chapter should be coming out soon.
