AN: Yes I know I'm an horrible updater =S actually chapters 2 and 3 have been written on paper for about 3 months now... Just too lazy to rewrite them on computer. I'm also gonna start a new fic soon... Yes again. But I'll keep working on Once in a Red Moon too. All my fics, except Once in a red moon and Shadow of the Night are now on hold until I finish those two fics. Shadow of the Night is the new fic I'm working on. First chapter should be up this week. It'll be yet another RufusXReno. It'll be a VAMPIRE-FIC YAY! Because I think there are not enough of those about reno and rufus.

ON WITH THE FIC! ^^ (read and review? chibi eyes hmmmm let's make a deal! The more reviews I receive the faster I'll try to update! =D)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The dog demon ran trought the forest as fast as he could . They could still hear the angry howls of Valentine's wolves but they were already far behing so Rod wasn't worried about them. Actually, the source of his concern were his friend's injuries. The injury on his arm looked pretty serious and was still bleeding. As for the red head's ribs, he had no way of knowing the extent of the damage. That had to hurt. The dog was startled out of his thoughts when his friend asked him a question to wich he had no answer.

-Where are we goin' Rod?

The wolf demon grew worried when his friend remained silent and his worry grew even more when he finally answered.

-... I don't know. I mean... I don't think the others would be happy if I brought ya in our territory.

There was a slight pant in the dog's voice as he slowly but surely grew tired. Demons were stronger, faster and had more stamina than humans and animals but they were not invincible. They were approaching Shinra's territory and Rod couldn't help but wonder if there was a chance, however small it may be, that the pack would accept Reno.

The red head's hold around his friend's neck tightened as he buried his face in the dog's fur. He knew that crying wasn't very manly but he was tired, hurt, had nowhere to go and felt weak and useless.

-You should have let Cloud kill me. I'm just a burden.

Rod growled when he heard his friend's words.

-As long as I'm alive I won't let you die Reno. I never wanna hear you say something like that again!

The annoyed look the Shinra dog was giving to his friend over his shoulder quickly melted when he saw the tears his friend tried so hard to hide. In the small time he'd known the wolf, Reno had always seemed happy. Right now thought, he looked like a broken child.

-I've got nowhere to go Rod! I don't want to be alon anymore.

The red head's voice was barely above a whisper as more stary tears rolled down his cheeks.

To the husky, his friend's words were heartbreaking. He could relate. Before Rufus found him, he'd been in a similar pack had saved him. And he'd gotten over it.

-Come on red. Stop cryin' okay? I'll take ya with me. I won't leave you alone.

The dog's pace softened. They were far enough from the Valentine clan and, honestly, Rod was in no hurry to get home.

-But what about your pack? You can't just leave them.

Reno was happy that his friend wasn't planning to leave him. But he couldn't demand that he abandon his family for him. That would just be selfish. The red head eyes darkened when he noticed his friend's silence.

- What are you planning Rod?

The red head's friend hesitated a little before finally providing an answer to his friend. Or at least getting ready to. He froze as an all too familiar odor reached his nostrils.

-Get off my back red.

Reno frowned but complied.

-Listen Reno, It's my fault ya were banned and I wanna set things right.

-Rod. What are you...

The red head stopped talking as a foreign odor reached him.

-What's this...? Wolve demons?! T-They're from my father's clan.

Rod cursed under his breath. They'd probably smelled Reno's scent.

-They're my packmates. I...I want you to join us Reno. But I must admit I'm a little scared. The last time someone tried to join the pack... well let's just say it didn't end very well.

There was no mistaking the nervousness in Rod's voice.

-Shift back to your demon form red... just in case.

The dog demon gave his friend one last piece of advice before going to face Rufus' anger.

-Don't show him your fear.

Reno shifted back to his wolf form and whined a little as Rod left. Don't show him your fear. Easier said than done. He winced when he heard angry barks and growls. He'd heard rumors about Rufus Shinra. Who hadn't? They said Rufus Shinra, heir of the Shinra wolf clan of Midgar had ran away after murdering his father and most members of his pack. He'd then started a pack of his own. A pack of traitors and banned demons. He still had a hard time believing that a nice guy like Rod was a member of a pack remored to be constituted of bloodthirsty killers. Of course he'd heard that Shinra had a dog amongst his wolves but he'd thought nothing of it back then.

It was then that what he was about to do really sank in. He was about to try to join Shinra's pack. A pack of traitors. Right then, he didn't know what scared him the most. Getting rejected and most likely torn to piece or actually being accepted. Reno was startled out of his thought when four wolve demons formed a circle around him and snarled menacingly in his direction. Yes. They were impressive. But the red's attention was not on them. It was on the handsome blond wolf in front of him. He was very tall and one could easily distinguish the firm muscle beneath the silky blond fur. And his eyes! Icy grey irises that seemed to be able to see right trought him.

Even thought the blond wolf, who Reno guessed was Rufus Shinra, was definitely beautiful, he was also very intimidating. The look the other gave him sent shivers up his spine. Shivers of fear but also a different kind of shiver the younger wolf could not quite identify. Something he'd never felt before. Something that made him want to give in the the other male's natural dominance. Paradoxaly, he also wanted to fight like he'd never fought before, wanted to prove himself to the alpha male. He was tired of being kicked around, tired of being treated like a nuissance and, above all, tired of being treated like a weak and submissive little thing. He wanted to prove to that wolf that he was none of that. Reno straightened and growled at the blond wolf. The last thought that crossed his mind before Shinra jumed on him was : What the fuck am I doing?

The only warning Rufus gave his the red wolf before attacking was a menacing snarl. He heard Rod whimper but paid him no mind. All of his attention directed at the wolf demon before him. At first, he'd been seriously pissed off that Rod had brought a stranger into their territorybut now... he really liked what he was seeing. While the younger male didn't look very strong, his slender frame promised speed and agility. It was evident that Rod's friend was still very young. 25 years at the most. Barely an adult, but a decent age to start combat training. If this little wolf proved to be worth it, he would train him. It was up to him prove Rufus he had what it took to enter his pack. To be a part of the elite.

Reno tried to stand his ground against the blond wolf but they were on a whole different level when it came to combat skill and his wounded paw and cracked ribs only made the gap between them even thought that if Shinra had wanted to kill him, he would probably be already dead. That or he was toying with him. Reno knew he was pushing his luck by refusing to submit now but couldn't help. It was like a fire had blazed to life deep within him and now refused to be tamed. But even now, there was still this will to submit, conflicting with the will to fight. It was then that he finally understood the conflict whitin himself. He wanted to fight. Yes. But not against Shinra.

He froze as he came to that realization, giving the blond wolf the opening he needed to pin him to the ground. The will to submit overwhelmed his senses when he felt the alpha male on top of him. Giving in to his will of submission, the red wolf roled on his back, exposing his belly and neck in a sign of total submission. This is it. If he's going to kill me, it's gonna be now.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
