Ran clinched his fists and looked at the other two wer who took a step back. He gave a forced smile that looked vicious and sneered. "So teach me what you need to so I won't be useless to my koi." Tomaru nodded and smiled weakly at him. He looked at the other two his anger boiling as they explained what to do. Tomaru stopped and he looked up and the other man sighed softly. "I'm sure Ken didn't mean it Ran. It's just he has to be some one else and I'm sure once he stops and thinks about it he'll feel really bad. He's stressed and he acts strangely when it comes to the wer kind." He nodded and sighed letting out a deep breath letting go of his anger. "Yes I do believe you are right. So shall we try this?" Tomaru nodded and Keiji grinned slightly.
Taki shoved Ken when the other boy changed back and deep green eyes narrowed into a glare. "What the hell Taki?" He growled and shoved the brunet again. "You were really mean to Ran. He is your mate! You claim to love the man and you say he is useless. You are a lot more like the leader of the rouge pack than I thought." He stormed off but didn't hear Ken follow so he turned and looked at his friend who was staring at the ground like a forlorn street pup. He felt his eyes grow wide at the site of tears and then sprinted back as Ken fell to the ground sobbing. "Oh god Ken I didn't mean it." His friend shook his head and looked at him. "No you are right. I love Ran and I was treating him like shit but I'm scared Taki. I don't want Ran to transform I don't want Ran to be a werewolf because what if he isn't the right one! I'm supposed to be with a white wolf but what if he isn't white. I love him Taki!" His friend started sobbing and rocking back and forth and he gently wrapped his arms around his friend.
Tomaru laughed softly then a lot harder as Ran got stuck changing back so all he had was soft perky ears and a long tail. "Nii-chan you look so cute." Ran glared at the girl and he started to laugh even harder. When Yohji and Schuldich came down and made their comments he almost stopped breathing. "Come on Tomaru we are supposed to be helping him not laughing at him. Ken will be really pissed if he finds out you were laughing at his mate." Keiji said seriously. He rolled his eyes and stood and gently grabbed hold of Ran's shoulders and smiled.
Ken stood in front of at least one hundred wer and frowned. Their numbers had been cut down a lot by those who chose to run or join the others. He sighed deeply and looked at the others and could tell they were scared. "My friends, my kin, we are in troubled times. Many of those we have trusted have turned their backs on us in a time of great need. Many of those we have grown up with and fallen in love with have betrayed us. What I ask of you isn't fair for me to ask, I have never lived in the packs and I do not know those who have left us, those of us who have run in fear, those of us who have died and they did not know me nor do you. What I ask if hard and many more of us I fear will die. I am not asking you to go to war for my own selfish need but for those of our kind and of the human kind that cannot face such a threat. Their numbers may be greater and their force may be stronger but fear not my friends for we are smarter and our hearts are bigger. With our brains and our faith we stand a chance of winning this war but not with out loss but I can promise you that for every one of us they have we will take down five of them. We will not stop because we cannot, we will not lose because losing is not an option. If we stop or if we lose the world will no longer be a peaceful place and millions of people and wer will die. If you wish to leave then I cannot promise you will be safe from this war however if you fight with me I can promise you we will give them a fight worth remembering. So now the question is who will fight with me, who will fight for the fate of man and wer kind?" All of the voices in the small room let out shouts of his name and he felt pride in being a wer for the first time in his life.
Ran heard the door open and Ken and Taki stepped though. He walked calmly over to his lover pulled back and punched him. Ken hit the ground and looked up at him holding his jaw. "Ow shit Ran. I guess I deserved that." He glared at his lover, crossed his arms and snorted. Ken stood and kissed him softly. "I'm sorry for calling you useless koi. You are wonderful and very strong no matter what form you are in. I love you and I must say you look really cute with perky ears." He blinked and watched his lover's hands come up and tug on his ears. "Oh I thought I fixed that. I love you too and I forgive you." Ken grinned at him and kissed him deeply. "So lets see what you look like in wolf form." He nodded and concentrated hard on turning into a wolf.
Ken held his breath as Ran's transformation started He closed his eyes tightly then opened them when his lover nudged his leg and gasped softly. Ran was a very deep cinnamon with white tips on his tail and ears. He felt tears fill his eyes and knelt pulling his lover into a tight hug and sobbing. Strong arms wrapped around him and held him tightly. "Ken what's wrong?" He was too heart broken to speak so he just hugged his lover more tightly to him. "Ken?" His name was just a whisper on Ran's lips so he fumbled and kissed those lips softly and smiled. "I can't believe how beautiful you are Ran. My precious koi, my only mate I love you." Ran smiled and kissed him deeply and he resigned himself, Ran was his mate and from now on he was forging his own fate.
Omi stumbled down the stairs and looked at Ken then at the others in the room. He frowned slightly and looked at his best friend. "There has been another attack. Thirty people are dead and the Crashers are on their way. Persia told the police about you so they are coming as well. This is a full-fledged war now and you are at the lead Ken. Can you handle this?" Ken nodded once and looked him dead in the eye. "This is what I was born for and this is what I will die for." Tears filled his eyes and he nodded once.
Ran moved the two steps that it took to reach Ken and pull him into his arms. The words Ken just sad hit him hard. "Would you really die for this Ken?" His lover nodded and turned to him kissing him softly. "Yes Ran I would. I need some time to myself so please just let me be for a while." He nodded and Ken smiled sadly and headed up the stairs. "So it took Ken crying to make you fully change back." Keiji said softly and he reached up to the top of his head and smiled when he didn't feel perky wolf ears. Keiji rolled his eyes and sat down in a huff. "Oh Ran look little Keiji is jealous about your mate maybe we should find him one." He looked at Tomaru who was grinning. "I'm only 16!" Schuldich shrugged and draped his arm around the boy. "Well so is Nagi and he's banging Omi. I could show you the way to manhood if you like." The boy went pale then crimson in seconds and shoved the German off.
Ken could hear the others teasing Keiji and he smiled softly. Keiji was a good kid and so was Kenta. He looked at the floor and pulled his knees to his chest and cried softly into them. It hurt more than he thought it would finding out Ran wasn't the wolf mentioned in prophecy but he had no doubt in his mind that Ran was his one and only mate it just hurt knowing the universe didn't agree. "Who writes these stupid prophesy any way? White wolf of fate, maybe it was red wolf of fate and they just read it wrong. Yeah it's supposed to be red wolf of fate." He sat and cried for how long he wasn't sure but he dozed off and woke to new smells coming to the door.
Ran heard the knock on the door so he walked over and flung it open and smiled softly at the Crashers. Yuushi grinned back. "Ran I missed you!" He was pulled forward into a deep kiss and a sly tongue slipped into his mouth.

Gillie: So what did you think? You finally find out what kind of wolf Ran is. I kept it in suspense for three chapters and dang it was hard. Don't soot me yet though I do have a plan you'll just have to wait about five or six more chapters to find out not because I'm evil but because I didn't really have a plan when I first wrote this chapter but a vague idea. So yup. What you don't understand is that wolves fallow their alpha to the death so Ran is running off those inscnts. As for Doc touching Ran he was asleep so a little groggy sorry if it was confusing it wasn't meant to be. But thanks for reviewing.
HeatherR: Um yes Ken is a prick but that's ok because clearly he got his. But Ran in wolf form yeah! at last. Thanks for the review.
