Tomaru opened the door rubbing his eyes sleepily and blinked at his sister-in-law and her mate standing at the door looking rather calm. "Tomaru who is it?" His mate called softly and he smiled letting the two in. "No one special just your sister and her mate." He was met with silence from his mate and a glare from his sister. "You're just lucky I like you punk and that I'm too fat to hurt you." He smiled and shook his head kissing the female on the cheek. "You know I love you guys I just do it to get a rise out of Taki." The lady rolled her eyes and waddled over to the couch and sat down heavily. He never thought he'd see the great Kai waddle but she was carrying twins so he understood somewhat. Taki came out and smiled brightly at his sister and hugged her gently. He turned to her mate and smiled. "So Ronan what are you two doing down here?" He shrugged and sighed. "She said she had to see Ken before you decided to keep him hoarded away. So we went to visit Ken but he got hoarded away by some redhead." He nodded and smiled softly. "I hope he knows what he's getting himself into. We wer can be very demanding especially Ken. Some times I'm not sure if he's more dog or human. We were going to drop by but I feel asleep meaning Taki went on one of his cleaning sprees." The other man nodded silently like he expected him to and he shrugged slightly.
Omi yawned and stumbled down the stairs early the next morning still smiling. He was happy he hadn't seen Aya or Ken since they arrived home. He really liked Kai she was spunky and her husband evened her out. He grumbled as someone pounded on the door again and threw it open. His eyes grew wide and a soft startled scream left his lips.
Ken head Omi scream and was up out of bed and down the stairs before his lover could even move. He ran across the kitchen floor and tried to stop before he plowed Omi over but sadly paws and tile didn't mix and he slid right into his young friend knocking them both on the ground. An odd nasal laugh brought his head up to a wall of flaming red hair and flashing glasses. Schuldich was at the door bent over he was laughing so hard even Crawford looked mildly amused. He turned as Aya came down the stairs wearing a pair of his sweats and holding his katana then visibly relaxed and helped Omi off the floor and him. "That was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life! The looks on your faces were priceless. Mine Gott!" He growled at the still laughing German and Yohji sauntered down the stairs. "What are they doing here?" He heard Aya sigh deeply and pointed to him. He licked his leader's finger and Aya smiled softly scratching he behind the ears. "Ken asked them for help. So they have every right to be here I guess." He felt his tongue loll out of his mouth while Aya continued to scratch his ears. He leaned against his love's leg and closed his eyes. "Ah well we now all know how to tame a Siberian Wolf, give him a good scratch behind the ears and he's gone." He barked as the German stepped past him and snickered to himself as the other man jumped.
Aya took the other men into the living room and sighed as Ken nudged his hand with a cold wet nose. "Ken go get dressed then I'll scratch you behind the ears again." His lover quickly trotted up the stairs and flopped into his favorite chair and sighed deeply hearing four feet rushing down the stairs and a big brown pile of fluff was in his lap again. "Did you get dressed?" Ken changed back to Ken and he looked at him. "I put pants on." He shrugged and Ken turned back nuzzling his hand until he started to scratch him behind the ears. "Ok I'm a little confused how come Ken's cloths don't fall off when he changes in to that?" Nagi asked softly and he shrugged. The back door came open with a bang and Ken barked slightly wagging his tail as his friends walked in and smiled. "Hay Luka." The violet haired one whose name he forgot or didn't remember learning said happily and patted Ken on the head. "Luka?" The man nodded and Omi moved to the floor so Kai could sit on the couch. "Yup that's his dog name. We have two names our dog name and our human name. My dog name is Lucky, Ken is Luka, Taki is Midnight, Kai is Goldie, and Ronan is Clover. As for the clothing question it becomes a part of us not sure why but it does. By the way Aya now that you've started that he's not going to let you stop till he's good and ready." He sighed deeply and switched hands.
Schuldich watched everyone interact for a while and he could help but smile and send a message to his teammates. I'm glad we decided to join them; even though Weiss just met some of these people they treat them like they've known them forever. Nagi nodded softly a far distant look to his eyes and he reached over and ruffled the boy's hair. "Don't worry chibi." Nagi and Omi responded at the same time with "Don't call me chibi!" He blinked and the two boys looked at one another and Ken's giggle broke any tension. "That's funny. Well I guess Omi is chibi ichi and Nagi is chibi ni." He started to laugh, as did the lanky blond Weiss member. It was rather nice just being accepted with out question even if they were all once enemies.
Ken stretched in Ran's lap and grinned at Aya who came down the stairs and sat next to Omi. "What's going on guys?" He looked at his lover for permission to tell Aya and Ran nodded. "Aya-chan I have something to tell you, I'm a werewolf." The girl shrugged and smiled. "That's fine. As long as you treat my brother well I'm ok but if you break his heart Ken I don't care what you are I'll hunt you down and kill you." He smiled and nodded. "Sure it's a deal." Ran smiled and pulled him in for a deep kiss. "Hay before you go hoard Ken in your room again we need to talk red." He blinked at Kai then at Tomaru and Taki who were nodding their agreement. "Um ok I need to talk to Schwartz Omi, Yohji care to join me along with them in the flower shop." They all nodded and stood leaving the room.
Ran looked placidly at the four wer and Tomaru cleared his throat and looked him dead in the eye. His blue eyes were almost haunting they were so perfectly crystal clear and calm like the moon in a perfectly mild-summer night. "We know Ken and you are close to becoming lovers we can smell it on him and on you. We just think you should know some fundamental things about us and Ken before you fully decide, granted if you break his heart we'll rip yours out but we still think you should know. Wolves mate for life so being part wolf ourselves we mate for life after we are turned and find our mate. For Taki, Ken, and Kai they have only one choice because they were born wer. So if you do make love to Ken he will be expecting you to be his partner in life. Another thing is we need to be touched a lot, closeness and contact are important to us and I'm sure you've noticed that but it will be strongest just after you mate for the first time. Ken will need to be very close to you all the time for at least a few days because he is establishing a life bond with you. Ken is very important to us, to all wer and he's my best friend so he's important to me and I hate to see him hurt." He glared at the man with violet hair and those entrancing blue eyes and snorted. "I love Ken and if he did chose me to be his mate I'd be more than happy to stay with him. He is my soul and I'll love him till my last breath and my soul will find his in the next life and I will continue to love him till eternity doesn't exist. As for him needing me well what ever he needs that I can give he can have even if it means my life, I don't care how important he is to you because to me he is my soul and one of the few reasons I have to remain on this earth. I would die before I ever hurt Ken and I will do what ever is in my power to protect and nurture him. Don't ever doubt my love for Ken." He stood and headed up the stairs to go vent in the practice room.
Ken looked at his friends as they talked about what he needed done. He felt uncomfortable letting the German and the crazed man go to the park to pick up on brainwaves but he oddly felt it might be needed. He sighed and smiled slightly as Nagi offered to help Omi look for his story. He turned and looked out the door as the smell of fear drifted in to the shop. He moved and opened the door and one of the fan girls came bolting in and hugged him tightly. He peeked out the door and saw Hashi, his eyes narrowed and he gently shoved the girl toward Yohji and went bolting out the door and turned running after his friend quickly gaining on him. He cornered Hashi in an alley and paused and spun around realizing he was cornered himself. The other two wer moved to quickly for him to do much good. If it was just one he could have taken them but it was three against him.
Ran heard Omi scream Ken's name and was halfway down the stairs before the kun fully faded. He ran into the flower shop and sighed deeply. He walked over and locked up the shop and looked at the others for an explanation. Omi signed to him that Ken went after the girls attacker and he nodded slightly then moved to Yohji and helped calm the hysterical girl down. "What are you doing out anyway?" He asked softly and the girl looked at him and smiled softly. "It's my sisters birthday and I wanted to get her flowers." He nodded and stood and quickly wrapped a nice bouquet with some of the flowers that were still alive and nodded to the girl. "Here these are free just for braving the outside. Yohji and someone else will take you home. Please stay at home until these dog attacks are over we're very close to the park so this is a dangerous place to be." The girl nodded and Yohji gently helped the girl to her feet and out to the garage where Tomaru fallowed the blond and got into the car with him and the girl.
Ken laid still his eyes closed trying to ease some of the pain. He was sure his front leg was broken and he couldn't change back. He had no clue how long he lay there for but a gentle fall rain was just beginning to shower the earth. He was getting cold and the sky was getting dark so he struggled on to all four feet and started to carefully walk back home to the safety of Aya's arms. His back left hip hurt and he could hardly put pressure on his front right leg. He was soaked and he hurt all over. He should have known it was a trap but he was Hashi and reacted impulsively. He just wanted to get home but he stumbled and he felt as if he couldn't get up. He tried to push himself up but it hurt and he had no energy. The two other wolves that attacked him were strong and Hashi didn't become the leader of a pack for nothing. He closed his eyes and whimpered slightly as the cold rain continued to beat down on him.
Ran paced the house once Yohji and Tomaru returned and the rain had gotten harder washing away any scent of Ken and almost any chance they had of finding him. They split up into groups taking one of the four cars they had and leaving some people at the house. He stared out the window thought the pouring rain while Tomaru drove his car. He thought he spotted a brown dog and his world came crashing down. "STOP!" His car stopped but he was out of it before it really had time to slow down. He sprinted to where he thought he saw the dog and aqua eyes almost focused on him. "Ken." He breathed softly and lifted up his love and walked slowly back to the car gently carrying his love. He crawled into the back seat while Nagi moved to the front and called everyone. He held on to Ken gently but tightly whispering sweet words of nothing into his ear and begging him to hold on.
Tomaru shoved everyone out of his way except the small blond that was leading him to the hospital room they had in the basement and the redhead who was gently carrying Ken like he was the most precious thing in the world. He grabbed Taki as they reached the bottom of the stairs and then started grabbing everything they would need. He quickly threaded the sterile needle while Taki held the gaping wound on Ken's left hip closed, he sewed it up as quickly and efficiently as he could then looked at his nearly unconscious best friend and started to gently check over his body. When Ken whimpered or growled at him he knew he hit something. Taki patched up some minor cuts and scrapes and he bandaged some broken ribs. He grabbed Ken's front legs and strong powerful jaws clamped down on his hands. "His leg is broken Taki help me." His lover held down Ken's head while he grabbed the leg and pulled until he heard the bone move back into place with a loud pop and a snarl from Ken. The large brown wolf whimpered his eyes glued to the redhead who was calmly sanding off to the side.
Ran moved as those large soft eyes locked on to him and he gently nuzzled Ken's head trying to sooth him. His love was trying to move and would growl but not snap every time one of the other two touched his leg getting a splint on it. "Why aren't you changing back Ken?" He asked softly wanting his love to tell him what was wrong. "He can't. When we are hurt badly like this we can't change it hurts too much. We heal fast but he won't change until his ribs are at least a little less tender. Take him into your room and lay with him. He only wants you now and this is one of those times he needs you close." He nodded and bit his lip then gently lifted Ken the best he could without hurting his already hurt love and carried him up three flights of stairs and gently set him on the bed. "Would you like me dressed?" Ken snorted and looked at him hopefully and he sighed deeply. "Naked?" His lover nodded once so he quickly stripped and settled into bed with Ken and kissed him softly on the head while a large pink tongue licked his face. "I love you too Ken. You need rest so sleep." His love whimpered softly and he gently grabbed Ken's head and kissed him on the lips, which was odd. "Now will you sleep?" Ken licked his face and snuggled into him sighing softly.
Ran lay gently petting Ken unable to sleep in fear of hurting his love. The sudden change surprised him because one second he was petting soft silky fur and the next smooth silky skin. He blinked at his love that smiled softly and kissed him. "How are you feeling Ken?" He asked softly and Ken blinked and smiled slightly then frowned. "I'm fine my hand still hurts." He gently took the tan hand in his and looked it over sighing. "Three of your fingers are out of joint, I'll put them back in but it's going to hurt." Ken nodded and closed his eyes tightly and he gently took the first finger and popped it back into place hearing Ken whimper softly. He carefully did it with every finger and the second he was done he pulled Ken close and kissed him deeply. "Feel better?" Ken nodded and he smiled softly and threw the makeshift splint off the bed then grabbed the supplies to make a new one and gently wrapped Ken's arm kissing his koi firmly. "There now how do you feel?" Ken shrugged slightly and looked down. "Mainly I feel like an idiot. It was just the thought of Hashi is my friend I need to see why he is doing this and he lead me right into a trap. They were strong Ran stronger than I could take on by myself. They were both like fighting Taki or another full-blood wolf or even Tomaru but the strange thing is I remember who they were and they were never ever that strong. Hashi he was strong too but that I knew but to me it felt as if he didn't want to attack me there was actual fear in him I could smell it but it was over so fast I couldn't even really think on it. Something is going on here Ran and I don't know if I can stop it but I know I'll have too because if I don't I may very well lose the only family I have ever had and the one person I love." Ken started to cry softly by the end and he pulled his lover close and gently rocked him. It was too much stress for Ken to handle on his own and there was nothing he could do to really help.
Ken sniffed a few times stilling his tears then snuggled into Ran just letting the feel of his love take away some of the pain. Ran wasn't blaming him or trying to tell him he could do anything he just was and his mere presence alone soothed him greatly. "What do you need that I can give Ken?" He smiled softly and held his love's face and kissed him deeply. "I need to know you will be with me as long as I live. I need to feel you inside me around me everywhere. I need you to make love to me Ran."
bruhahahahaha I know I'm evil. Actually you can thank my best friend for the cliffy he told me to stop there and leave my readers hanging. I was going to right more so don't kill me kill him if you can. any way yeah I knew I said I'd have this up by Friday but um yeah things happen. I have up to chapter 11 writen now it's just editing and finding time to post so don't expect anything from me too soon. Thanks bunhes leave a review and keep reading.
Andnee: Sorry if I miss spelled that. As for the formating thing um well please don't expect a big change from me. That is the way I was taught to write ever since I was really little and it would be hard for me just to up and change though I will try and add who is talking at the end of the quotes. Other than that I'm glad you're still enjoying the story. As for the chew toy joke again you can thank my best friend for that one because he said that to me once. Ken's response was not mine but it was a very Ken like response so I decided it was best, I can't believe that still amuses you that is if we are talking about the same joke I might be way off base or in a diffrent feild all together. I truely only ment for this story to be like six chapters but no so yes it will be long how long I can't say sadly, I have no clue. So any way think you for the review and have a splended week.
Gillie: Hay no worries I'm sure every one understands things coming up. But thanks for all the reviews you have left and I hope things go better for you. Chin up and don't stop smiling because it makes people paranoid.
