Chapter 7: Wolves

Everything from the past two nights were echoing through Kanda's head. We're splitting apart. The werewolves, they want me. You're ignoring me. All of Allen's accusations and fears were in the back of his consciousness. One more night, and they would be safe for a month. That was all that Kanda could think about right now. One more night, and then they could use the long length of time to think of a way to retaliate against the Crow Clan that wanted to steal Allen away. He hadn't spoken about the mysterious scent since he had been enthralled by the smell.

And Allen was asleep (or passed out) on the bed. And even though the night was gone, and the sun had just peaked over the horizon, and this was usually the time for vampires to sleep, the other three were awake. Kanda was worried about Allen. He hadn't eaten in two days, had gone through more healing and attacks than normal. He needed some sort of sustenance.

"Yu-chan, staring at him won't help," Lavi said from where he was leaning against the door frame. Kanda looked up, annoyance in his eyes.

"Leave me alone, bunny. Go hop back to Tyki's lap and give him a dance," Kanda snapped back, voice laced with anger. His fangs flashed momentarily as he gritted his teeth, glancing back at Allen.

"Why would I do that?" Lavi stated, frowning a bit. "I don't like Tyki. He's a perverted old vampire. He only wants to get into my pants."

"Of course he does. Go give him his wish," Kanda said. "And leave me alone!"

Lavi sniffed, as if his feelings were actually hurt by this. "Why would I want to sleep with him? You very well know that I enjoy being the one doing the fucking..."

Kanda looked very annoyed now. "Just...fuck...off," he said in a low voice. "And stop lying. You like to be taken control over. You like to be controlled." He stood up and pushed Lavi back roughly. The redheaded vampire staggered backwards with a startled grunt then his green eye widened as a pair of hands slid around his hips, catching him.

"Let go of me!" he said struggling as he was pulled closer to Tyki's tall frame. Kanda ignored them and walked out of the bedroom.

"Look after him," he grunted.

"Yu-chan, where are you going? It's morning," Lavi said, pausing as he struggled in the elder vampires arms. Tyki had paused as well, looking at Kanda. The dark haired vampire had paused by the door, looking back at them.

"It's cloudy. He'll be hungry when he wakes up, so I'm going to catch him something," he said over his shoulder. "Keep an eye on him idiot..." his gaze met Lavi's before turning around and stalked from the room. He opened the door and blinked several times. Even though it was a cloudy morning, and the sun was completely hidden, it was bright. He grunted and headed out, closing the door behind him.

Lavi glanced at Tyki, a nervous expression on his face. And then Tyki leaned close and kissed him, dominating his mouth quickly.

-ooo-

Allen felt as if there was a fog in his mind. He forced his eyes open but had to fight against the lead-heavy lids to keep them open. For several moments, he stared at the ceiling, unable to focus his gaze. Finally he pushed his arms back and with a small grunt lifted himself off the bed. He almost fell back against the welcoming softness but was able to brace himself with his mismatched hands.

"...Erg..." he hissed through clenched teeth. Allen's vision went in and out as his head lolled a little, letting out a soft pant. Everything was heavy and his stomach gnawed at itself, tight and empty. He was so hungry. He swung his feet over the edge of the bed and tried to stand, only to stumble into the wall.

Where was Kanda? He was always here...Allen blinked and shook his head in confusion and leaden thoughts. What was that strange noise? His slow mind couldn't pick out what it was, although it sounded familiar. Something that would make sense if his mind was clear. "Kanda?" Allen asked, tongue fumbling over the single word.

His hand fumbled at the doorknob then got it open and stumbled against it. It swung open and he staggered with it, leaning against it. The sounds were louder. What were they? He kept his eyes focused on his feet, keeping his hands against the wall as he took slow, measured steps towards the sounds.

When Allen's eyes flickered up, they froze on the scene before him, taking place in the kitchen. For several moments, his eyes were blank and rather unseeing and then his thoughts finally fell into place and his silver eyes widened, a look of shock and slight disgust coming onto his face.

Lavi let out a soft yelp, head bent as he gripped the kitchen counter. "Nh...AH! Stop! Tyki," he panted out, body jerking as the elder vampire continued his deep thrusts. Tyki leaned closer to the back of his neck, panting against his neck.

"You don't want me to stop," he purred softly.

Allen gagged a bit. Lavi's head jerked around, and his green eye widened swiftly. "S-shit..." he breathed out, knuckles turning white as he gripped the counter tighter. Tyki glanced around as well, to look at the silver haired vampire standing in against the wall with a hand over his mouth.

"...Where is Kanda?" Allen asked through his hand, eyes hard through the glaze that filled them. "Where is he?"

"He went out to get you a meal, pet. Go wait for him elsewhere," Tyki told him as if talking to a small child. Allen's jaw tightened at the conceited tone that he used and turned around swiftly, forcing himself not to make it look like his head was spinning or his hands were trembling.

He stepped into the foyer just as Lavi let out a loud cry of indignation or pleasure, Allen didn't know and didn't care. He opened the door and had to close his eyes. He kept walking slamming the door behind him and finally opened his eyes when the light seeping behind his eyelids no longer sent sharp stabs of pain through his skull. Even though the sky was covered in thick clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain, the light hurt.

He moved unsteadily to a bench under a tree, where the foliage offered more shade and less direct light. Carefully he set a hand down on the smooth black iron and felt the slight indentations that had been made overtime. Then he sat.

"Kanda, why did you leave me with them?" he asked under his breath, lying down against the cool metal grating. He touched his forehead gently. Was he warm? Was he sick? He knew that he was hungry, but he didn't think that that could make him sick. "...Guess sickness is the only thing I can't heal from...? Maybe I'll just...rest my eyes..."

His eyes flickered closed and drifted off into sweet nothingness. It seemed only minutes later that someone was shaking his shoulder gently.

"Moyashi," a dark voice said in his ear. That was Kanda. He tried to open his eyes and finally achieved his goal after much hard effort.

"You left...me with...those two..." he said, tone accusing as he tried to push himself up. "Why did...you do that?"

Kanda was silent and Allen had a hard time making his eyes focus on his love. He stared at him, eyebrows knit together in concentration. The other touched his forehead with a finger lightly, making Allen jerk back. "What did they do? And why are you outside?"

"They were...blegh...In the kitchen..." Allen said, shaking his head. He focused on Kanda again.

The raven haired man took Allen's hand and pulled him off the bench. Allen promptly fell forward with the continued momentum, falling against Kanda, who caught him. His gaze was filled with worry and other hidden emotions. "Come," he said simply and kept an arm around Allen's slender frame leading him inside. He walked into the back bedroom without glancing around and closed the door.

"You need food," Kanda said as he guided Allen to sit down. He leaned over and dragged a gagged and tied figure that was lying on the floor a little bit away, something that Allen hadn't noticed until Kanda had brought attention to it. "Drink."

He exposed the neck of the college student, a large football type boy who was just waking back up again. "Dude, what the hell is this?" he tried to say, but his words came out muffled. "I'm going to beat the shit out of you!"

Kanda ignored his threats and demands, gripping his head more tightly by the hair. He held it painfully tight, so that Allen would be able to reach his neck. The younger vampire touched the boy's neck lightly and a strong shiver went through the guy.

"...You're the dude who was missing!" he struggled.

"Eat," Kanda ordered, eyes on Allen.

Eyes flashing in the dim light, he sank his fangs deep into the boy's well muscled neck. He punctured deep into the main vessels of blood running through his neck and blood filled his mouth. The college student let out a startled cry through the gag. Allen continued to drink, pulling himself closer to the large football player, fingers tangling in his shirt.

Finally, after the human's heart had stopped beating, Allen broke free. He licked his lips slowly then wiped his mouth. His mind was no longer clouded and he could think clearly. Anger filled him like a wave and his head turned to the door.

Kanda seemed to sense it and didn't interfere as Allen stood up and stalked from the room. The anger coming from him was so strong. Tyki was in the living room, a cigarette between his lips. Lavi had his nose in a book, ignoring the man who was nudging him in the side with his foot.

Tyki glanced up, eyebrows raising a little as he saw Allen come over. With a sudden movement, Allen's foot was in Lavi's side. The redhead rolled away, letting out a startled yelp. His book fell to the ground, closing on it's own and the silver haired vampire kicks it away with the same vicious motion he had used on Lavi's ribs.

The redhead's response was angry and confused. "What the hell was that for?" he cried out, sitting up. He scooted away from the angry vampire, not wanting to deal with his wrath any further. Allen, however, had already turned away from him. He didn't answer Lavi's question, only turned on Tyki.

The elder vampire gazed at him for a long moment. It seemed like Allen was debating on whether or not to do something. A moment later, he had made up his mind. He punched Tyki hard in the face before picking another book that Lavi had been reading up from the floor, and threw it in the direction of Tyki's crotch. To the credit of his age, Tyki was able to catch it before it hit it's mark, saving himself the agony. His face wasn't so lucky.

"Boy, you are so very sensitive," the tall vampire intoned, golden eyes sharper than normal. He was surprised at how strong Allen was. It was incredible at the strength that such a small body could house.

"You call me sensitive when I'm angry about what you two did?" he spat out. Kanda remembered the vague statement that Allen had first said, something about them in the kitchen. "I mean, really? I figure, that if Kanda left me here, he wanted you two to watch in case I got worse, instead of go at it in the kitchen!"

The dark haired man's eyes narrowed into slits, ebony hair covering his eyes as he gazed at them. First he turned his gaze to Lavi, who looked away, abashed. "You did that?" he asked, voice icy. "Didn't I ask you to watch him?"

"Yes, Yuu-chan," Lavi said. "But-"

"There are no 'buts' about that," Kanda cut him off sharply. Allen had gotten over his anger. It seemed to have transferred to his lover.

"But you know that I am...am weak against him," Lavi admitted grudgingly, glancing at Tyki. The man's eyebrow raised a little and the redhead glared. Kanda just snorted, but had to admit that he hadn't really thought about that. "So, if you please...He practically raped me. I really couldn't stop him."

Silence met his words. Tyki looked rather annoyed at that statement, either because it was true, or because it was painfully wrong and he wanted to correct the redhead about it. Kanda just regarded the two of them with a cold gaze, until he realized that Allen was strangely silent.

"Moyashi," he said, turning to where Allen had been standing several minutes ago. Was he so angry that he was now ignoring them? But when he turned, he found that the silver haired young vampire no longer stood there. He frowned, his anger disappearing. Where was he?

Lavi glanced around too, coming to stand beside the other vampire. "He was just here," he said, looking curious.

"Moyashi?" Kanda asked, voice raised so that it could be heard throughout the house. Silence met his words. Worry went through the vampire and he frowned. He headed through the house, the redhead following in his wake. Kanda didn't care if Lavi followed him at the moment. Where the hell did you go, Allen?

They found Allen outside.

Lavi didn't follow the Japanese vampire out into the shade of the sunny day. Allen was sitting on the bench, eyes closed. He was completely still, and when Kanda closed the door behind him, he didn't react. Kanda moved over to him and sat down beside him on the cool metal bench. "Moyashi."

"Yes?"

The silver haired boy did not turn to him, and his lips barely moved as he answered to his nickname.

"Is something wrong?" he asked and touched Allen's leg gently. He turned to look at his lover, silver eyes seeming to smile at him with an internal light, even though his expression was mostly blank.

"You worried about me, Kanda?" he asked, and this time he really did smile, a small laugh accompanying it. Something about the laugh didn't seem right. The smile seemed forced. This wasn't real. His eyes were darker now. "No need to be. I'm fine."

Kanda answered with a tch. He didn't believe the boy. Why did he have to do this? "Just ten minutes ago you were weak and delirious and now you're fine?"

"I was just hungry. You know that, Yu," Allen said lightly. "Too much without food. Healing takes a lot of energy. I know that now. I'll be more careful, but I still can do it without wasting time." He looked out at the sunny day, at the browning grass. It was fall. "Funny, isn't it?"

Kanda's eyes narrowed a little. "I don't see anything funny..." he said. What was up with Allen? He was acting very strange.

"I never was able to hear the earth like this before," he said. He look at his lover and he took Kanda's hand. "I think that if you listen carefully, you'll hear it too. But it's very subtle. And it's hurting. I think something's going to happen. Not that I'd have to listen to be able to tell that."

Kanda was quiet. He tried. Really, he did. He closed his eyes for a long moment and sat still. He heard the cars from a few roads down. He heard a dog barking in a yard down the street. He heard the birds singing to each other in the trees. The wind in the trees. Then... a quiet, slow, humming.

He let go of Allen's hand and the deep humming disappeared. "I don't know what you're talking about. But I can tell that something's going to happen. Those damned werewolves are going to do something, probably to you." Navy eyes followed every small movement that his lover made.

Allen just shook his head, smiling a little. "The moon is going to be mostly full tonight," he said, glancing at the sky. "The last of the three days, right? The day after the full moon. They're going to still change, aren't they?" When Kanda nodded, he turned to look at his own hands. He raised them, staring at the mismatched appendages.

"I'm wrong."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Kanda asked, anger lacing his voice. "You're wrong in what you say? You're wrong because you can heal? Is that it? Because you're different."

"Oh...Yu..." Allen said. "I'm not supposed to be here. That ritual was supposed to kill me. You know it would have, if you hadn't come and gave me your blood. Don't get me wrong-" he interjected upon seeing the look that Kanda was giving him "-I am very grateful that you did so." He leaned close and kissed him lightly. "But it doesn't mean that I'm right."

Kanda didn't know what to say to that. He stayed silent and took Allen's hand. Together, they sat in silence, listening to the hum of the earth.

The whole conversation disturbed Kanda greatly. He just hoped that nothing eventful would happen.

-ooo-

They were hunting in a pack. Deadly, silent. Together, they had rounded up a small group of teens. The three teens were confused and scared. Mostly of Tyki and Kanda, who were much more threatening, and more visible. Lavi and Allen were hanging back. One was sobbing, clinging to the others.

Allen hung back as Tyki grabbed her, slamming her against the wall. She looked horrified. Allen knew what she was thinking and wondered if she thought she was going to die, or if she was just going to be assaulted.

"Are you a gang or something?" one of the guys choked out. He ran at Tyki in a vain attempt to save the girl. The vampire hit him hard, practically close-lining him as he ran at him and he collapsed, gasping and choking from the strong hit to his throat.

"Just hungry," Tyki replied before sinking his teeth into the girls neck. The guy on the ground scrambled back swiftly, terrified, before he was stopped with Kanda. The long haired vampire finished him off swiftly. Allen watched all of this silently before glancing around. Clouds drifted away from the moon and light flooded where they stood. Blood glistened on the necks of the teenagers who had fallen prey to them. "...They will be hungry as well..."

"Yes, they will," Kanda said gruffly. "That is why we're staying together. How many of them are there?" He looked pointedly at Tyki.

"There were five main werewolves. They were the strongest, more wolf than human. I took care of one, so that means there are four left," Tyki said as he ran a hand through his hair. He leaned against the wall.

"Only four? Then we could take them on," Lavi said, crouching on the dumpster he was now perched on top of after finishing off the third and final teenager; Allen hadn't wanted one of them since he had already eaten. "I think we would be able to take care of them."

"Ah, but love, you don't know about their clan...There aren't just the five—now four—of them. That just makes up the main group, the pure-blood werewolves. Their clan is vast and numerous," Tyki said. Lavi looked very annoyed by the fact that he had been called love and he gritted his teeth, shaking his head.

"Fine, fine, you win," he said huffily. "Then what the hell do we do?"

Allen walked to the end of the alley and looked out. He was quiet.

"...Do you hear that?" Lavi was the first to draw their attention to an unnatural sound. Allen took a step out of the alley, then backed up swiftly, letting out a loud growl.

"They're here!" he snapped out and nearly fell as he joined them, covering his mouth. Only then did the other three hear the growls. Only then did they smell the rancid scent of rotten flesh and hot breath. Allen's eyes were fixed at the mouth of the alley, where shapes were appearing.

The first to appear was lean. A ragged mane of hair came from the back of the wolf's skull. His bright eyes focused on all of the vampires before them, but it was obvious that his gaze lingered on Allen for a long while more than the other three. The Crow let out a soft growl, and his lips curved into what could have been nothing else except for a smirk.

"Madarao."

Review? Thank you lots. Hopefully, I will have a new chapter up faster than this one took me, since it took me several months to update this. I really need to get writing again. Thank you for reading.
