"What the hell were you thinking?!"

"I don't know!" Wolf screamed.

"Well, you should have!" Crow screamed back.

Everyone was in the dining room, sitting at the table, a tense atmosphere hung in the air. Crow and Wolf were walking around the table yelling at each other. Rock and Rin were just sitting there, not moving to stop the fight. Yukio, Izumo, Bon, Shima, Shiemi, and Konekomaru were watching them, not sure of what was going on.

'The crazy chick is going to rip his head off any second! Wait for it...' Shima thought, watching for the moment that Wolf would reach out and literally rip Crow's head off.

"Just shut up, Crow! You would've done the same!" Wolf yelled.

"No! I wouldn't! Do you know what you just did?" Crow spat, his voice wearing out.

"Shut up!" Bon cut in. "I don't know what's going on and I don't care!"

"Can it, Light Dweller!" Wolf shouted.

"Stop it!" Rin shouted, and Crow and Wolf went quiet. The Esquires stared in shock.

"He's right; we just need a plan...and a miracle." Rock said, fading out at the end.

Crow and Wolf sat down, and Rin laid his head on the table. Yukio sighed and asked Rock for the current situation.

"Well, it's worse than ya' think. Cause Wolf accepted the fight, we are now going blindly into a fight that will be a 4 vs. 2,500. Even if we had all of Laughing Shadows members still alive and well, we would still be out matched."

"It doesn't matter; Bloody Lucifer will most likely use underhanded methods, even if it is degrading." Rin cut in.

"Good job lightening the mood." Bon said.

"Shut up, rooster!"

"Blueberry!"

"Shut up! Both of you!" Wolf snarling.

From then on, everyone pitched in ideas making a plan of assault, though Laughing Shadows idea of just barging into the base right through front door was a plan, Yukio did not. So, it was more like Yukio was doing the planning and everyone was listening. After the plan was made, the subject of being out numbered was quickly brought up.

"So, any ideas?" Yukio asked.

"I guess I could go to the local jack of all trades and see what dirt they got on Bloody Lucifer." Crow said.

"Demon and Wolf could go around and look for some guys that live in the area." Rock suggested, earning a glare from Wolf and a surprised look from Rin, since he had just been pulled into the situation.

"You will?" Yukio asked, surprised.

"No wa-"

"Sure." Rin smiled, showing his fangs.

After a while, everyone had slowly gone up to their room for bed. Once Rin going to up the stairs, Yukio stopped him. Rin told Wolf to head up without him. Once Rin turned back around to look at his little brother, he met his intense gaze.

"What is it, Yukio?"

"Rin, about the member thing, I was wondering...if I-"

"You don't need to join LS. You're helping me become am exorcist, so, we're even." He smiled, and continued up the stairs.

Yukio grabbed his brother's hand, but Rin just slipped out of his grasp, a shadow over his eyes.

"This time, things are in over your head, Yukio. It'll turn out fine in the end, don't worry."

Yukio looked at his brother in shock, as Rin trudged up the stairs to the third floor. Yukio looked at ground, glaring. He hated how he felt so useless. He looked back up to where Rin had just been moments ago, determination in his eyes. Little did he know that he was being watched by an unseen pair of eyes, watching his every move.

Yukio stormed off into the opposite direction, towards the door. Yukio heaved it open and hoped no one had heard the loud screech of the opening and closing of the door. He walked out of the hidden passage and into the main alley. He turned left and walked deeper into the slums, quickly getting lost.

"You lost, Light Dweller." A voice said above.

Yukio snapped his head up and put a hand on his gun, not that it would help much, since he only had demon repelling bullets in the chamber.

"Calm down, Light Dweller. It's me." The voice said.

Yukio squinted and saw Wolf on the roof tops, grinning down at him, purely amused at his actions.

"Why should I trust you?" Yukio shouted.

"Shut your mouth, Light Dweller! Do you plan to get yourself killed! This isn't the city, this is not your world. And, for your question, no, you shouldn't trust me." Wolf smiled.

"Why not?" Yukio asked, his hand still on his gun.

"I am a wolf. As long as you are close to anyone in LS, you should keep your guard up, even Demon."

"I don't understand. What makes me and you so different? We both human blood in our veins. Correct me if I am wrong, but, on the inside, we are the same." Yukio said.

"Human blood? From your brother has told us, you are only half human, the other half is...what was it? Oh yes, half demon. You are the same as your brother, except that Rin is different. He has a sword to suppress his powers, you do not. You have a gun, and you cannot control your powers." Wolf smiled as she jumped down.

Yukio raised his gun and set his site on Wolf. Wolf laughed, but it was more like a howl. Her howl silenced everything within a mile, causing shiver to go up Yukio's spine. Yukio loaded his gun and Wolf laughed harder.

"How do you know all that?" Yukio ordered.

"Once again, your brother has a voice, he can use it. Rin is not as childish as you think. He is smart. He knows his was through the streets like a pro. Stop thinking so little of your brother, Light Dweller." Wolf said, looking at Yukio in the eyes.

Yukio was lost for words. First, Rin couldn't have told her everything. He didn't even know that he couldn't control his powers, could he? Yukio shook his head to clear his thoughts.

"Why are you not running, I'm a demon."

"And? You forget, my own boyfriend is a demon as well. Honestly, we all thought it was a bit weird that Rin could go on for weeks on end fighting and not get tired, we just didn't say anything. Rin is Rin. What he is on the inside is what really matters." Wolf smirked.

"Then again, I was the one who was afraid of him before he got here." Wolf thought.

"I have one more question; why are you calling Rin by his name now? Not 'Demon'." Yukio asked, slowly putting his gun away.

"...We should go. Follow me." And with that, Wolf walked off, Yukio quickly following.

After a few turns, Yukio started asking questions again.

"What do you need to be in LS, exactly."

"You need to be as strong as a blood thirsty demon, as fast as a wolf when hunting its prey, to have the stealth of a crow as it flies, to be as tough as a solid rock. To be as brave and fearless as a demon, to have the stamina of a wolf as it travels, to have the patience of a crow as it watches it's next victim, and to have will as strong and unbreakable as a rock. That is what it takes to be a member of LS." Wolf said, her eyes darting around.

"Explain to me again, why did Laughing Shadows fall again?" Yukio asked, looking Wolf as she turned another corner.

"Most of our members were too loyal to Serpent, and if someone else did that the spot as the leader, they would not be respected. Over time, we were ambushed in our own base, and in every one of those ambushes, many people died. Once Demon was old enough, he decided to work, wanting to help us, but instead, went to True Cross. Four months ago, he told me everything." Wolf said, turning right into another alley.

"That's about the same time he started cram school." Yukio thought.

"In four months, Laughing Shadows now have all of their members under one roof. It's been hard, but now that Demon is back, he might be able to save us." Wolf continued.

"Once again, explain."

"Light Dwellers are so stupid sometimes." Wolf muttered. "Crow, Demon, Rock, and I, are, or were, Serpent's right hand men. We were even stronger than all of the gang put together, that is, if we work together."

"That means," said Yukio "if Rin leaves, Laughing Shadows will weaken?"

"Yes, and when the next ambush comes, one of us will die."

Yukio stopped in his tracks. Something was wrong with Wolf, but he couldn't place it. Something was just...different.

"Wolf...what did you do when you first saw us?" Yukio asked, his voice unwavering.

"What are you talking about? I walked up to you and greeted you like any normal person. Why, you hit your head?" Wolf smirked, but fear was in her eyes.

"Where are we?" Yukio asked, edging away slowly.

"Calm down, Yukio." Wolf said, smiling.

"That's the problem, you're not Wolf." Yukio said, pulling out his gun again.

"Oh~, what tipped me off~?" She smiled.

'Wolf' pulled off her wig and fell to the ground, revealing bright pink short hair. She tugged off her black hoodie, showing a black T-shirt with the words 'Bloody Lucifer' in silver gothic letters on the chest.

"Two things. First, Wolf didn't walk up to us, she attacked us. Second-"

"I never told the real Wolf Yukio's name." A familiar voice sounded.

Yukio spun around to the shadows, a dark figure leaning against the wall. He stood up, and walked into the light. Yukio's jaw dropped as he looked at Rin, covered in blood. The thing that surprised Yukio was, the blood on Rin, wasn't his.

"Demon~. Long time no see~! How's Serpent~? Nice and dead I hope?" She said, grinning evilly.

"Yeah, nice and dead. Just the same he has been for the last two years, just like how you left him. But, to me, it looks like you'll be joining him." Rin glared.

"You can't do that! I have men all around us! You'll be the one dead!" She shouted, shaking and wide eyed.

Yukio didn't know what was going on. He didn't know whether his brother was real or not. Rin smiled, and the girl backed away.

"Yukio, look away." Rin said calmly.

"Why? Nee-san!" Yukio shouted.

"Get behind me, and turn around."

"Why?!"

"You don't want to see this." Rin said, glaring now at his younger brother.

A/N: Ok, I know it's REALLY short, but, at least I'm done with my writer's block! Honestly, I wanted this to be 15 chapters long, but, at the pace I'm going, it's going to be longer. Just telling. School is about to start. Ugh. But at least I'll publish better chapters because I'm going into advanced English this year. Yay...not. I heard that the teacher I have is heartless, cruel, and just plain mean on homework. Hopefully they're just rumors (my gut is telling me that they aren't). Anyways, no foot notes. But I'm still disappointed that this is only 2,000 words long. I'll publish the next chapter as fast as I can, that is, if my luck is good. Why is God so against me!...then again, I don't go to church, I don't pray (unless I'm in a life or death situation), I don't read the bible, I swear at school, and I don't do my chores. Oh.

Hopefully you liked it, I kinda strayed off from where I wanted it to go, but, hey, I don't care! It'll turn out fine in the end (hopefully). XD

Thanks for reading! R&R!
