I don't own Wolf's Rain, but please read&review, thanks!

"Hello?" a voice came from no where in particular. "Are you alive?"

Kurai felt a gentle prod to his side, and he groaned as his eyes struggled to open. A dim light shining from between an opening that the buildings made shone on his eyes.

Where...am I? he wondered as he struggled to stand up. It felt like his body wasn't even his anymore, like he forgot how to stand up. He finally managed to get himself into a sitting position, and looked at the figure who woke him. The figure- a female timber wolf with grey fur was sitting in front of him with curious lavender eye. Although Kurai slept for god knows how long, he felt weak for some reason. His eyes flickered around when he noticed that his brother wasn't next to him.

"Shiroi?" he said with a whisper at first. His eyes flickered around wildly. "SHIROI!" he screamed.

"Calm down, you're safe here" the female wolf said, approaching him. Kurai snarled and leapt at her, knocking her onto her back and baring his fangs at her. She screamed.

"What did you do with him?" he snarled into her face.

"W-who?" she stammered.

"Don't play dumb. There was another wolf- my brother and he was right next to me"

"I don't know what you're talking about, when we found you, you were alone!" she shouted out. Kurai stared into her eyes, and his eyes flashed a light blue color as he delved into her memories. He found out that she was telling the truth and stepped off her, shaking his head in confusion. His brother was right next to him when they fell asleep, how could they have been separated? He felt exhausted, which is weird because he rested for a long time. There was something wrong... He nearly collapsed onto the floor, but the female wolf stepped next to him and supported him. He looked at her for a bit, before leaning on her for support.

"Sorry" Kurai said. "For attacking you like that." Her snout curved up, almost like a smile.

"It's no biggie...My name is Rain, what's your name?" she asked.

"Kurai" he responded, groaning. His head was killing him. "Are you sure you didn't see another wolf with me when you found me?" Kurai knew the answer, but he wanted reassurance.

"I'm sorry, we didn't see anyone else."

"We?"

She smiled a sad smile, Kurai sat on his haunches while she stood facing him. "My brother and I. Jaguara's wolves attacked our pack, killed everyone except us."

Kurai's ears perked up. "Jaguara's wolves?"

"Yes" she replied with a nod. "White wolves that would kill even their own kin." She bristled. "That's why they say white wolves are demons from hell."

Kurai was speechless. Could one of the white wolves be his brother? But Shiroi wouldn't let himself get captured so easily.

"Anyways, what were you doing out by yourself in the forest?" she asked, flicking her ears in question.

"Forest?" Kurai replied in confusion. They weren't in a forest the last time he remembered.

"Yeah you were lying in a forest, not moving at all. We thought you were dead."

Kurai groaned again as another wave of nausea assaulted his head. "My head... What's wrong with this place...?"

"They set up some sort of barriers which deflects the moon's rays. This way, it makes it easier for them to hunt down wolves."

"My brother...I need to find my brother..." Kurai whispered before attempting to stand up, but collapsing back onto the ground. His eyes started to close in exhaustion, but his mind yelled at him to get up. He heard Rain calling out to him, but she sounded so far away. He closed his eyes, slipping into unconsciousness.

They promised that they'd stick together, but why was fate so cruel as to separate them?

Kurai felt Rain's paw prodding him again, asking what was wrong but he didn't have the energy to respond. Suddenly, his eyes flared open and he lifted his ead in agony. His eyes started glowing again as white markings began etching themselves onto his body. Rain watched in awe as the markings appeared on Kurai's body. After a minute or two, Kurai's eyes stopped glowing and he dropped his head onto the floor panting.

"Whoa, what the hell was that?" Rain asked, curiously eying Kurai as if he was some sort of sorcerer. Kurai didn't respond, he was too tired to. Instead he closed his eyes and drifted off into sleep.

Where are you...?
