The Wolf of Sainan High

by Jake Wolf

Jared Shadow, or Wolf to his good friends is back in Sainan. He grew up in America after spending the first six years of his life in Japan. There's a lot Jared will have to deal with. Whether it be ghosts, the undead. yokai, aliens, or gods looking for a mortal lover he'll have to deal with all of it. Not to say he's complaining because he's never been normal.

2. Chapter 2: The Wolf and the Alien?

So this is chapter 2 of my To Love Ru story. In this chapter we introduce Lala and Jared goes through his first day of school. We also see the first signs of Jared being something more than human. YAY! That said this chapter introduces a lot of characters and is a bit different. It also is the fist chapter where the viewpoint shifts between Jared and another character. In this case the second character is Lala, who will be the intro pov of chapter 3. After all... never mind spoilers. Anyway I hope you enjoy and even if you don't I write for me more than anyone so I enjoy what I'm writing thus I will continue to write. After this I may be working on my Rosario Vampire/Bleach crossover. I'm in a writing mood so be on the lookout for more stuff from me as I go back and pick up old stories, start new ones and so much more. All that said I hope you enjoy and I'll see you next time.

The first day of my classes passed pretty boringly. I met my class,caught up on the lessons I was behind in, which were primarily Japanese and history, and ignored the jealous looks of guys and the stares of girls. After class I walked back toward the house with Kenichi who was talking my ear off about the mega Hentai. I raised a hand stopping him and said "Mega Hentai means super pervert, doesn't it?" He nodded and I said "Alright just checking. I don't think I've met anyone who falls under that unless you want to count Rito san falling and getting in perverted situations or the principal. Seriously if I catch that guy peeping on the girls again I'm kicking his ass, promise to my mom be damned." He stared at me surprised and I said "You do know who my mom is right, I mean we share the same last name and everything, and she is also Akiko S-H-A-D-O-W's mother. You know Kara Shadow?" He stared at me and I said "Model, geneticist, author, and loving mother of two. I'm trying my best to not cause any trouble for her and my little sis's sakes."

Kenichi studied me and said "You must be him." I blinked and pointed at myself. He nodded and said "The man among men, the hero, the one all the girls look to for comfort, the hero lord." I resisted the urge to slam my fist on top of his head and shook my own in the negative. He continued "But only the hero lord and the legendary Mega Hentai are known to be able to sway the hearts of women." I sighed and pulled out a piece of gum then popped it into m mouth and chewed slowly thinking. He said "IF you are not a hero then what are you besides a man among men?"

I shrugged and said, "A fool. A fighter. A lover. A liar. A paranormal investigator. A geneticist, or just a guy with a well connected family. Take your pick." He stared at me amazed at all the titles I'd given and earned then bowed to me. I sighed and muttered "Get up." He did so quickly and I said "Don't bow to me. I'm not a lord, I'm just an average guy. Anyway I'll see you Kenichi, this is your street right?" Nodding he ran off and I continued toward home. As I walked I hummed a tune then started singing "I can't escape this hell." As I walked I broke out the air guitar and continued " So many times I've tried, but I'm still caged inside," I jumped onto a nearby fence rocking out to the music in my head as I continued "Somebody get me through this nightmare, I can't control myself. So what if you can see the darkest side of me, no one will ever change this animal I have become Help me believe it's not the real me."

I kept singing and playing air guitar till I got home where Hiroto opened the door nad questioned me "Jared Dono what are you doing?" I stopped mid lyric and coughed into my hand then put my hands behind my head and he said "I think I will not tell your mother about this, hmm?" I nodded and he smiled then said "Why don't you go get changed then you can explore the town since you came right home from school, I know from how long it takes your sister that you were probably a little lost in your music so I'll tell your mother you reported home without any problems and I let you loose." I nodded and ran up to my room to change into something more comfortable than a school uniform. I slid down the banister after changing and putting Hanashiro on my shoulder who curled up purring contentedly. I ran out the door waving to Hiroto as I ran past and jogged to the local park. When I got there I saw Kenichi being picked on, at first I thought he could handle himself then one of the jerks hit him in the stomach and he fell to his knees holding it as well as his porn mag from earlier.

I growled at that and lunged at the goons who were about to kick him round house kicking one into some trash bins and punching a second into a park bench. He got up and ran off saying "Thank you hero sama." I muttered about not being a hero as I faced off against the remaining for goons and their leader.

The leader glared at me and said "You shouldn't have done that gaijin. Now we'll have to take this out of your hide." I smirked and held up a finger then pulled out my phone and went to my kick ass playlist and played "Not Gonna Die," by Skillet. I smirked and started jumping to the beat then kicked a thug in the chest. He grabbed my leg and pulled me close then punched me in the face knocking me back. I grinned and punched him then jumped back the music pumping me up. I jumped between two of the thugs who were both pulling their fists back then ducked and punched them in the stomach. They had nothing on a hell hound so this was way to easy. Hell my sister and Sakura holding back were stronger than these slackers. I smirked as the leader yelled out "You will learn to respect the black dragons!" I smirked figuring that was their gang name and picked up the closest downed goon throwing him at the leader who ducked and rushed me.

I laughed and said "I don't respect anyone who hasn't earned it. You picked on my friend and so I'm going to teach you a lesson about the loyalty of a wolf. Even a dragon should fear the wolf because the wolf Lady Amaterasu took the form of beat the snake Orochi who was like an eight headed dragon!" He glared at me and I lunged at him only for two of his goons to get in my way and receive my fist and foot respectively to their faces. I used them as a spring board and jumped over the rest of the gang landing on the back of their leader driving him into the ground howling out "FEAR THE HOWL OF THE LOYAL WOLF!"I turned and kicked another goon back then jumped off their leader and got into a regular martial arts stance. The minions studied me carefully then one by one started pulling out knives and brass knuckles. I sighed and said "Really, weapons? If you insist then I'll make you hurt more for even thinking to bare weapons in an unarmed fight." I rushed into them and started lashing out hitting each of them in the ribs, face, stomach, or arms. They groaned out and fell onto their backs. I smirked and picked up their weapons then put them in a plastic bag and tied it shut before throwing it into the pond near our location.

I walked away from them only for Kenichi to run up to me and say "Wolf dono, thank you so much." I raised an eyebrow and he said "You truly are something else. I chuckled at that massaging my knuckles. He studied me and said "What were you doing in the park, and is that a cat plushy on your shoulder?" I blinked wondering what he was talking about when I heard Hanashiro purring. I swore realizing I hadn't taken her into account when I was fighting and that she could have gotten hurt. I berated myself for not setting her aside but she seemed fine so I didn't yell at myself mentally for long.

Slowly I turned to Kenichi and said "No she's not a plushy, this is my nekomata or twin tailed cat Hanashiro." He stared at me like I was nuts until Hanashiro opened up her eyes and spread her tails apart yawning. He stared and I said "Hanashiro meet Kenichi, Kenichi meet Hanashiro." She meowed in greeting and he bowed to her. I chuckled and said "Sorry for not letting you get off before jumping into the fight Hanashiro." She shrugged uncaringly and I smiled. I glanced at Kenichi and said "So why were they attacking you? Was it because of your porn mag, or because you did something to upset them?"

He sighed and said "It was because of my adult literature." I nodded in understanding and stretched then popped my back before sitting on a nearby park bench. Kenichi sat beside me and said "So Jared Dono, where did you get the name wolf?" I smiled remembering when my dad started calling me his little wolf as I got over protective of a friend in middle school and had acted like a protective wolf of him, his sister, and my other friends. They called me the Alpha wolf of Sierra Middle School. I told Kenichi the tale and he said "So you would give anything to protect one you call a friend?" I nodded and he said "And you consider me a friend after just meeting me today?" I shrugged and made a so so gesture and he said "Then why protect me?"

I sighed and said "Because I hate seeing the weak being picked on. I can tell you're not very strong and it is the duty of the strong to protect the weak." He stared at me surprised and I said "It's one of the reasons I was called a delinquent at my old schools. I got into fights with anyone who'd pick on those weaker than them and tended to come out better but I still gained a bad rep among the teachers, parents, and others. I mean I started out as a nobody but I was never a bully. I couldn't ever see a reason to allow the innocent to be harmed by the guilty."

Kenichi asked me "What do you mean by the innocent and guilty?"

I smirked slightly and said "Innocent are anyone who tries to live peacefully without causing trouble, guilty anyone who causes trouble for no reason, harasses the innocent, and believes their better than anyone else. I mean I am one of the guilty in a way because I'm over confident as hell. I'm almost so much so to the point of being arrogant. Though that doesn't bother me. I accept my flaws and try to cope with them." He nodded in acceptance then sad he needed to get home. I bid him farewell and walked around the park. I was stopped by a few kids wanting to play soccer and joined in playing around with them and laughing. I stopped when I saw a girl who was in my year, but not in my class, watching us and studying the bruises on my hands as well as the scars on my face. She walked over as I sat down against a tree and I asked "Can I help you with something miss...?"

She said "Kotegawa. Yui Kotegawa. I couldn't help but notice you look like a delinquent, don't you think you're dyed hair shows a bad standing on our society and morals?"

I raised an eyebrow and said "I don't have dyed hair. I have naturally dirty blonde hair. I'm also not a problem child unless you hurt my friends then I become the equivalent of a delinquent. I admit that I am not an upstanding citizen but I accept not everyone is going to be happy with my choices. I mean Kenichi would say my being somewhat of a delinquent kept him from getting his head handed to him.:

She blinked surprised at my well reasoned argument and said "Shameless! Do you have no care about the morals of our society?" I smirked and shook my head in the negative. She asked "If you're natural hair is blonde then why don't you dye it black?" I raised an eyebrow wondering what the big deal with my hair was. She sighed and said "I just worry that you'll attract people to the school with your delinquent ways and the school needs to be as moral as it can be with the monster that is the principal. Don't you agree?" I shrugged and she said "Wait I haven't seen you before today, are you a new student?"

I smirked and said "Hai Kotegawa san. I recently moved to Japan to live with my mother and little sister. My name is Jared Shadow. Yes my mother is Kara Shadow. My little sister is a kendo club member and named Akiko Shadow. Honestly they'll probably be mad I got into a fight but I figure it was for a good cause so, meh." She stared at me aghast and I said "Fighting for a good cause is always more important than letting others be hurt because good people refuse to do something. Evil only wins when good does nothing to stop it." She stared at me surprised and mouthed what I set as if going over it in her head. I smiled sadly and said "Of course that doesn't mean I wouldn't follow the law, I just think the law has to be upheld in a way that doesn't limit the rights of everyone. Morals are well and good but not when they cause us to stand aside or not look at the lives of others and see why they are the way they are."

She studied me and said "You've given me a lot to think about Shadow san. I believe I'll have to go over what you've said in more detail on my own to decide what I believe. My mother has always held me up to a high moral standard and I felt the world should also be held to such a high standard. However if what you said is true then maybe I'm pushing my morals onto others without taking who they are into account and as such it wouldn't be fair for me to not think about what caused them to act the way they do. Though delinquents seem determined to be delinquents no matter what people do to help them." I shook my head at that not in the mood to get into an argument about why people acted like delinquents when they didn't have anything to their name. The dregs of society usually banded together because they felt that it was the only way for them to be acknowledged. As I thought about it I realized I should have been kinder to the Black Dragon thugs since they probably felt as though everyone had abandoned them and me attacking them just added to that.

I sighed and said "I'm such a hypocrite. I taunted the guys I fought without thinking about why they were acting like thugs. I guess I'll just have to be a bit more understanding of them as time goes on and if I face them again." Kotegawa san stared at me surprised and I got up saying "Well I guess that's all there is to say Kotegawa san. I'll see you at school tomorrow." She started to say something when Hanashiro hopped up from under the bench and pushed me back onto the bench curling up in my lap purring. Kotegawa stared and I said "Or I may be here a while because Hanashiro doesn't want to leave yet. Whatever I'm cool with just sitting here, you know?" Kotegawa san giggled and I said "See with a smile on your face you're a lot less intimidating to normal people and a lot cuter." She blushed at the cuter after bristling at the intimidating and I said "Though I'm not one to talk. With my scars, sunglasses, and blonde hair here in Japan I look like an intimidating delinquent but in actuality I'm pretty soft as far as most people go, only those attacking others have any reason to fear me."

She seemed to tune me out as she pet Hanashiro and said "Where'd you get her?"

I grinned and said "She found me."

Kotegawa san nodded slowly and said "I'm not surprised she seems to like you a lot and doesn't seem uncomfortable with you at all." I smiled slightly at that and she stroked Hanashiro's head causing the young nekomata to purr. She smiled giddily and said "I love cats they're so cute."

Hanashiro seemed to purr more at that and I chuckled saying "I figured, and she seems to like you." Kotegawa san smiled stroking her back as Hanashiro yawned and purred more then licked her fingers before curling up into a tiny ball. I motioned for Kotegawa san to pick her up and she did so carefully. Hanashiro purred in her grasp and pawed at her face playfully. I smiled seeing the two of them get along. However after about ten minutes my phone rang. I answered it saying "Hello?" It was my mother my side of the conversation went like this. "I'm Fine mom, no I don't plan on being out all day. Yes I'll be home shortly, no I'm not causing any trouble. Yes I know that I can be honest with you. No you don't have to worry about me. Yes I'm sure. I'll be home in ten minutes I'm just at the park. Love you too bye." Kotegawa san looked at me and I said "Sorry to cut this short Kotegawa san but I gotta head home." I glanced at Hanashiro and said "Unless you'd like to go home with the kind young woman who's lavishing you with attention?" She shook her head and hopped out of Kotegawa san's arms onto my head where she curled up purring contently. I smiled and said "If you like Kotegawa san we can make time for you to spend with Hanashiro and I as the week goes on but my mom wants me home today because she wants to know how the first day of school went."

She smiled slightly and said "I think I'd enjoy that. I should probably head home myself since my older brother is probably confused on what to make for dinner. Have a nice night Shadow San."

I smiled and said "Call me Jared or Jared San if you must but I don't want the whole town to associate my mom with my bad rep." She giggled and smiled then started walking away waving over her shoulder. I looked up at Hanashiro and said "She's a nice girl isn't she?" She nodded and I said "Are you just agreeing because she loves cats?" She shook her head and I said "I didn't think so but had to make sure."

*******************************Perspective Change************************************

(Lala POV)

I did it! I finally managed to find my way to earth where he said I could find him. I wonder if he will remember me, or if he wasn't kidding when he said I met him before he met me. It was really confusing but I guess I'll find out when I get to earth. My name is Lala Satalin Deviluke and I am the princess of the milky way galaxy. My current goal is to find the young man who gave me the will to live again. I was only five at the time but my father had started the suitor games at the request of the nobles on Deviluke. I had protested not understanding it but it all changed when I went to earth with my mother. However that's a story for another time. Right now I'm currently in orbit over the planet earth trying to avoid Zastin my body guard assigned by my father.

I circled the planet a few times trying to remember where he said he'd met me. I know he'd said it had been in a bathroom but that wasn't much help. I mean I knew he was somewhere on earth but he didn't tell me what country he'd been in when we first met or anything. Actually he'd just laughed when I asked how he'd met me and said "Ah Lala, the way we met was interesting. You just appeared out of nowhere while I was taking a shower. You said you were running away from home and looking for someone." Well I was definitely running from home, and I was looking for him. Who is he you might be asking, well he just told me to call him Wolf of Shadows. He'd laughed when I asked what that meant and said "My family name is Shadow and my nickname is Wolf. My first name however, well you didn't know it when we met so I think I'll keep that to myself Lala chan. I can't reveal everything in our first meeting after all." He'd given me a pendant in the shape of a sun that he said to take care of.

It had some strange energy to it and when I hooked it up to my computer I saw an older me and a slightly younger him. I could tell because his eyes weren't as hard. I won't go into detail about the conversations we had but I know the time for them is coming. At the end was a message from the older me. Her words were "Lala this is your older self. I can't tell you our saviors name because you'll notice I call him wolf kun. He doesn't realize that I do that so you can learn his name on your own. I think it's special when he goes from being wolf to his real name in our heart. There are a lot of others he's enthralled so being the empress in training we knew we'd have to share our husband but they're all good people I have bios for each of them and how they started falling for him on this device. He charged it with his energy and I found a way to mix it with computer storage. Don't ask because until you see his energy for yourself you'll think he's a robot or something if I try to explain it. Anyway little Lala don't hesitate to let your sister's share in his love. You know how hard it is for them being the princesses and possibly submitting to the suitor games as well."

I had cried that night realizing she was right and that my sister's and I would grow to truly hate papa if he didn't give a good reason for why he had enlisted the universe to look for a relationship with us. I asked Mama why Papa had done that and she said "You're papa is both forced to and is doing this for you. If you were all to find a guy you were in love with he would stand down, but the suitors wouldn't." I was eight at the time and I saw what she meant, with aliens like Ghi Bree and Izunagi Setsu I could understand what mama meant. I forgave papa, but I told him I already had someone in mind. He said if he wasn't strong enough to ward off my suitors he wouldn't let me be with him. I argued that he could easily protect me and that he would be willing to learn from papa but he wouldn't listen. So when I turned fifteen I ran away from home. Which leads us to where we are now. Me hiding out over earth trying to figure out where Wolfy Kun lives and Zastin hunting for me.

I sighed as I dropped out of orbit over the island country of Japan. I'd done a lot of studying about earth because I wanted to be knowledgeable about Wolfy Kun's home planet. I knew most of the languages and could pass as an earthling though Peke didn't have many earth fashions. I hopped out of my ship after putting it in stealth mode above Kyoto Japan. I stood on top of a sky scraper only to look around in wonder. Earth was a somewhat underdeveloped planet but it sure had some beautiful landscape. I could see why Wolfy Kun had always said that it was a place of many mysteries that waited to be solved. I smiled to myself and jumped into an alley then started walking amongst the people who kept approaching me and asking where I got my cosplay. I just smiled and pretended I didn't know Japanese. One man actually tried to convince me to go with him to a hotel but I shook him off.

I walked the streets for a little over an hour browsing the shops and stuff. However I couldn't find any traces of Wolfy Kun. I sighed and went back to my ship. As I boarded my ship it was pulled onto a large destroyer. I sighed and muttered "Peke it looks like we've been caught by Zastin." Peke made an affirmative sound and I prepared to fight. After a few minutes my ship was boarded by Zastin.

I glared at him and said "What do you want Zastin I already told papa I know who I'm going to marry." He sighed as if I was some petulant child and I said "I am going to marry Wolfy Kun and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to stop me."

Zastin looked at me with harsh eyes and said "LALA SAMA! I know you have set your sights on this 'Wolfy Kun,' but we have browsed the galaxy and yet to meet him. You're mother refuses to divulge what happened the last time you were on earth other than the fact that you were much happier after having spoken with an earthling. I cannot allow you to continue this temper tantrum. You must decide who you are going to marry from real figures." I glared at him puffing up my cheeks and he said "We will be leaving the earth's atmosphere shortly. Until then you will be confined to your room." I glared at him, which I guess was pitiful compared to papa's but it got my thoughts across. He led me to a room and headed back to the control room after locking me in. I pulled out my d dial which looks like a futuristic cell phone and called out pyon pyon warp kun. I activated it, since we hadn't yet left earth's atmosphere and was warped from the ship. I made pyon pyon warp kun as a tool for emergency escapes. However I hadn't worked out all the problems so it jumped randomly and only worked once before recharging for twenty four hours.

I materialized in a running shower. I let out a soft "Yes," then blinked as someone grabbed my breasts. I opened my eyes and saw someone who I'd been looking for since I was a child. It was Wolfy kun. I grinned and hugged him around the neck saying "WOLFY KUN IT'S YOU!" He was a few inches taller than me so I was pulling him down when I hugged him around the neck and his head was mashed into my breasts. I giggled and let go of him saying "Sorry Wolfy kun."

He stared at me and asked "Can I ask you a few questions? I only have three of them you see and they'll solve all my possible beliefs that this is a delusion of my hormones." I nodded and he asked "First question then, How do you know my nickname is Wolf and why do you call me Wolfy kun?"

I answered "I can't tell you that because you wouldn't believe me but if you are indeed Wolf Shadow then you are my Wolfy kun and I've been waiting for you for the last ten years."

He blinked and stated "Setting that aside, second question, How did you get into my shower?" I held up my wrist which was still wearing Pyon pyon Warp kun.

I said "This is Pyon pyon warp kun, it allows me to jump from one place to another using teleportation technology. I'm just surprised it lead me to your shower. I guess it knew what my heart wanted and did what it could to fulfill my desires." He stared at me then sighed almost as if wondering if I was a stalker. I asked "What's your third question Wolfy kun?"

He sighed a second time and asked "Are you a succubus come to steal my soul or some other type of demon and if not why are you naked in my shower, while I'm still in it, and what is something my subconscious would know but wouldn't possibly think to tell me?"

I blinked and tapped my head sticking out my tongue and said "Well pyon pyon warp kun doesn't teleport anything other than living matter, and I just said how I got into your shower, and I don't know what your subconscious would know without you thinking of it because I'm neither a demon nor a part of your subconscious though if you're saying you've been dreaming about me I'd be really flattered." He stared at me a bit then looked me up and down. I blushed feeling heated and embarrassed for some reason.

He smirked at me making my heart race and said "I'm surprised you're only now getting embarrassed. If you're not a succubus, which obviously by you're blushing you're not, then I don't see a reason for me to chase you away or worry for my chastity." I stared at him mouth agape and blushing and he laughed saying "Kidding, kidding. How about we both grab towels and talk in my room, you can tell me why you've been looking for me nad how you know my nickname, then I can tell you if I can help you find the person you're really looking for because I can't possibly be a person a devil princess would be looking for unless it was to call in an old debt."

He turned away from me and I saw the two markings that proved he was my Wolfy kun on his back. He had a horseshoe shape on his left shoulder and a sun across his lower back. I knew they weren't tattoos because they were to seamlessly blended into the skin. I followed him out after taking the towel he offered and saying "Thank you Wolfy kun." He glanced at me over his shoulder shaking his head as if to say he didn't get why I called him Wolfy kun then we walked into his room and sat upon his bed. I asked "How'd you know I was a princess from Planet Deviluke?"

He blinked and said "Planet Deviluke?" I nodded and he said "I just thought you were a demon princess not an alien. You have the demon tail and everything, though you're way to innocent to be a succubus or high tier demon who seduces mortals. Also you don't steal souls by granting wishes do you?" I shook my head again and he sighed saying "Thank god one djinn was enough for me."

I blinked and asked "What's a djinn?"

He smiled and said "Evil genie. They steal souls after granting the wishes of those that bound them. They use the souls to open portals to the underworld that allow other demons through then after turning the souls into demons themselves, sometimes even lesser djinn, they release them upon the world. Though since no one is talking about the apocalypse I guess I don't have to worry about demons being released yet."

I stared wondering if he was joking but he looked completely serious. I glanced down and saw his manhood, which was half hard, and said "I think you should put your towel back on." He followed my eyes and blushed then covered himself apologizing. I giggled and said "As long as it's Wolfy kun I don't care if I get that kind of reaction. Anyway I have a question of my own for you Wolfy kun."

He nodded and said "Ask away, only fair since you've been so patient with me."

I smiled and said "Do you think you could protect me?" He raised an eyebrow and I said "I'm being followed by other devilukeans. I don't want to go back because they'll force me to deal with lots of suitors and as a princess I'll be forced to pick one. Can you protect me from them?"

He smiled and said "I can try. I can't promise I'll succeed, but I can promise I won't let them take you without a fight. It wouldn't be fair for me to hold you against your will nor would it be fair for them to force you into an arranged marriage when everyone should be able to marry for love. I'm a romantic at heart so I believe in love winning out over anything being the best outcome. Now why don't you tell me what you know about me?"

I giggled and said "Of course you fish for information even after promising to help me. Wolfy kun you are so silly. I can't tell you what I know because I don't know a lot other than that you're a really kind guy. You seem really strong, did you make any promises to anyone about getting stronger?"

He shook his head and said "No. I only promised myself I'd be the strongest there was to prevent people I care about from getting hurt. I hope that doesn't bother you Devilukean princess san."

I giggled again and said "No that doesn't bother me in the least and my name is Lala Satalin Deviluke. What's your full name Wolfy Kun?"

He smirked and said "My name is Jared Shadow. However I go by Wolf Shadow to my friends and sometimes have to beat up jerks using the moniker the howling wolf." I smiled at that glad he hadn't changed from what I remembered when his window opened and Peke flew in. He stared and said "Hello little imp."

Peke glared and said "I'm no imp I am Lala sama's costume robot Peke."

He blinked and said "Costume Robot?" Peke and I nodded and he said "Cool." I blinked surprised he was taking this in stride when he said "If Lala is an alien it would explain why even her tech is more advanced than earth's. That said I'm sorry for the insult Peke san." Peke blinked surprised and I giggled yet again wondering why I couldn't help but giggle at everything that Jared, or Wolfy kun as I thought of him, did. I tossed off my towel and he said "Whoa there Lala san, don't you think it's a little awkward to be naked with a stranger?"

I laughed and said "Not really I'm used to bathing with my maids but I have to be unclothed for Peke to dress me." He sighed but nodded then I said "Peke do your thing." Peke chimed out an affirmative and I was slowly clothed. I let out cute squeaks as each part of my ensemble covered me. I could tell it had gotten to Jared as his towel was tented. I giggled slightly and said "Sorry Wolfy kun." He just waved me off and walked to his bag then pulled on a pair of boxers and a pair of pants. As I was about to ask him a question Smutts and his partner smashed in through the window. I stomped my foot getting angry and asked "Peke what did I tell you about making sure you weren't followed?"

Peke said "To make sure I wasn't Lala sama." I nodded and Peke stated "Sorry Lala sama." I started ranting at the stupid costume robot.

Smutts said "You've given us some trouble you arrogant child."

I glared at him stopping mid rant and said "I'm not going back."

He smirked and said "We'll take you back by force if we have to. We'll bind you hand and foot and carry you back to the ship. We are leave this dirtball planet."

I glared and suddenly Smutts went flying with a piece of wood whacking him across the face. Standing in his place was Jared who said "I've heard enough. I don't care about me but you insulted my planet, you insulted Lala san, and you are trying to force her to do something she doesn't want. I can't allow that." I blushed at his commanding tone and Smutts got back to his feet while his partner rushed at Jared. Jared blocked his fist with the stick he'd used to hit Smutts then said "You'll have to do a lot better than that. You may be stronger than me but I can use your own force against you."

The two devilukean half breeds attacked him and he defended. Eventually he led them around causing them to beat each other up before grabbing my hand and jumped out the window. I held onto him as he led us out of his family's property and onto the street. As we ran I asked him "Why'd you leave your house?"

He smirked and said "I had home field advantage but I don't really want that. I want to beat them at they're best. It's stupid but I don't like fighting anyone when they can't give their all and I have equal or lesser footing. The more the odds are stacked against me the more powerfully I fight." I nodded remembering how Papa said that some devilukeans were like that. Eventually we got to the park where we were trapped by a truck in front of us and Smutts and his partner behind nad to the side of us beside a large gate. He smirked and said "Perfect."

I said "You know you don't have to protect me anymore."

He grinned and said "I told you I would so I have plenty of reason to do so. I don't care that you said I don't, it just means you don't feel that I should protect you because you're worried about me. Too bad I'm not stopping. I'm going to protect you. I'm going to push myself beyond my limits and maybe after that's done I'll go after your father and force him to see reason."

I gulped and said "Papa and reason don't really see eye to eye. If he has a way to be unreasonable he usually takes it. Are you sure you can convince him?" He laughed and nodded. I smiled slightly and said "Then I'm counting on you Jared Shadow."

He smiled and said "Call me Jared, or if you must Wolfy kun." I giggled and he said "That's the sound I want to hear. Don't think for a second I'm in any danger these guys are pathetic." Suddenly there was a flash of light and he said "What the hell?"

A voice announced "That's enough." He looked at me and I sighed realizing Zastin was finally stepping in. Zastin appeared and said "I've had enough of you running Lala sama. That said it's time for you to go home." I stuck out my tongue and pulled my eye down at him then he growled and said "Fine force it is."

Jared laughed and said "You'll have to go through me to get to her. Honestly I don't think you're strong enough to go through me. It may be my inner arrogant asshole but if that's the case then at least I know that I am definitely going to kick your ass."

Zastin laughed and said "Dream on Earthling. You can either get out of the way or you can die." Jared smirked and rushed at Zastin who drew his sword and the two locked blades. Well blade and stick. Zastin's blade should have sheered through the stick, but it was almost as if Jared was feeding it energy that reinforced it. I noticed the sun mark on his back glowing and gasped realizing he was tapping into his inner power subconsciously. I giggled as Zastin said "You are powerful for an earthling but I am the strongest swordsman in the galaxy." Jared laughed and Zastin asked "What's so funny?"

Jared said "If you're the strongest in the galaxy then I have nothing to worry about. I'm fighting you at seventy five percent and matching you blow for blow. I mean you're probably holding back a lot so you don't kill me and cause an inter-species incident. However you'll have to do more to get past me."

Zastin smirked and said "As you wish." He moved from ten percent of his full power to twenty but Jared kept up until he hit thirty percent then he started to show signs of being injured. He just laughed darkly and Zastin said "You are a true son of battle. It will be a shame to kill you."

Jared snorted and said "As if you could," then knocked Zastin's blade wide and struck him upside the head and he collapsed. Jared stood over him panting and said "I win. Lala does what she wants," before passing out.

I smiled as a drone recorded the fight and said "Papa Jared's the man I want to marry. I think he understands me better than anyone and he wants to let me do things my own way. I want to stay on earth. So if you have no problem with that tell Zastin and the others to back off."

After a few minutes an older woman with black hair walked up and said "So this is where he got off to." I waved at her and she said "Ah, hello. Are you why my son left the house tonight?" I nodded and she sighed then said "Well we'll take these four to my home, leaving the three on the couch and putting Jared in his room then you and I can talk." I nodded and the two of us carried two of the four each and escorted them to Jared's home. Little did I know that Jared's mom would be all for my love of her son because she thought it would cause him to settle down. Ah how wrong we both were about that.
