Hello again!
Thanks for all the reviews, really glad you all are enjoying it, makes me very happy.
I've also made a page for this story on PrecureOCs, I'll try to update it along with the story!
(Maybe there will be some minor spoilers but nothing big)
Oh and lastly Teehe!~ I just wanted to end the previous episode on a cliff-hanger!~
The Okinakuchi made a growling noise and started inching slowly towards Boneys' body who still had Cure Blood in his grip. She was struggling but Boneys proved too strong this time.
Slowly Blood tried to turn her head around and saw Boneys' head lying a few feet away from her. The head opened it mouths and started humming calmly while the Okinakuchi slowly opened it mouth, ready to eat the Cure.
''Don't give up, Yuina!''
Miku ran out of the bushes, grabbed Boneys' head and threw it into the Okinakuchi's mouth. Boneys expression changed and he let out a loud yell before the Okinakuchi started to chew 'Boneys' body started to convulse violently before slowly disappearing. Cure Blood stood up and jumped before Miku protectively.
''That was...stupid!'' She told the shorter girl, who only grinned sheepishly.
''Hehe, it worked! Now use that cool attack!'' Miku ran back to the tree with Orlok still sitting on her head.
Cure Blood scratched her neck insecurely and looked at the Okinakuchi, still munching on Boneys' head.
Was he really dead?
She hesitated to use Blood Fang but ultimately decided to do it. She opened her mouth but before she could even say one word, the Okinakuchi started to wail and trashing its body around violently, two big claws soon erupted from the body and, just like when Blood had used Blood Fang, exploded.
Cure Blood ran backwards to avoid being sprayed in blood again. She traded puzzled looks with both Miku and Orlok, the latter flew upwards to take a better look.
Just where the Okinakuchi had been, they saw a girl being covered in blood. She was breathing heavily and trembling, struggling to even stand. She looked at her hands, fell on her knees and let out a loud, panicked cry as the blood slowly disappeared and revealed her appearance.

Episode 3: Aah! The Reunion! Cure Wolf is already reborn!?
The girl had light brown, very messy hair. Was clothed in a light yellow, sleeveless, short dress with a brown belt around her waist and with fur on the edges. Speaking of fur, Blood noticed that the girl didn't have hand of feet. She had normal arms and feet but they both ended with big, clawed paws.
''Jacky! Larry!'' Orlok dashed to the girl and Blood was finally able to see what she was holding in her ha-...paws.
A very small, plush-sized wolf and a just as small pumpkin.
The girl let out a weak cry when she noticed Orlok, who landed on the ground before her.
''Orlok! Is that you?'' The pumpkin hopped out of the girls paws and made a sniffing sound. Orlok hugged the pumpkin. He was so glad they were alright.
''Did you see that, Orly? Pretty good for a human, eh?'' The wolf asked proudly with a nod towards the girl. He then noticed Yuina and Miku standing nearby the trees.
''More humans!?'' He growled and shot the two a dangerous glare. the Pumpkin hid behind Orlok timidly.
''The one with black hair is my successor,'' Orlok smirked while he gestured to the two girls to come closer. Miku didn't have to be told that twice and rushed towards the tree. Blood hesitated for a moment and transformed back to human-self first before following Miku.
''...So you are Cure Blood?'' The pumpkin asked Yuina and stared at her with her big, purple eyes. The pumpkin looked very strange to say the least.
''Uhm...Mr. Larry?'' The girl began quietly and tapped the wolf, Larry, on his back. He looked at her with a inpatient expression.
''C-can I c-change back too?'' She uttered nervously and pointed to her own necklace. This one with a Yellow heart.
''Yeah, yeah. Just concentrate,'' He answered gruffly, while the girl transformed back to her human form. Her hair was still brown, but darker, shorter and tied in two braids.
She slowly stood up, turning out to be quite tall and stood almost a full head above Yuina.
''Haven't I seen you before?'' Miku asked and started to study the girl, who only became more nervous.
''W-well, I l-live here a-a-and...'' The girl began but Miku interrupted her.
''You go to Fukutoku High?''
''T-true.''
''Hehe, I knew it! Which class?''
''Miku! Give her some space,'' Yuina told the shorter girl, who continued to harass the taller one with questions.
''What's the name of that awesome attack? What is your Magical Girl name? How many monsters have you defeated?''
''Miku!''
''Oh, hehe~ Sorry!'' Miku took a few steps backwards and grinned sheepishly.
Orlok landed on Yuina's shoulder said with a proud look; ''Guys this is Yuina Akagawa. She is my successor!''
''And I'm Miku, Magical Assistant who someday will become a Magical Girl herself, hehe!'' Miku quickly added and made a strange pose with her arms above her head.
''That's pretty cute,'' Larry said, his voice dripping with sarcasm, causing Orlok to shot a glare at the brown wolf.
''Arg! Orly and you two humans...I present to you: Wakaba Tsukino, the next Cure Wolf!'' Larry barked and jumped on the girl's, Wakaba, shoulder, who had just picked up Jacky.
''Nice to meet you, Wakaba!'' Miku said enthusiastically and shook Wakaba's hand. Jacky looked at Miku with her big, purple eyes and spontaneously got a smile on her face.
''You! You will be the next Cure Witch!'' She trumpeted with a surprisingly loud yet high voice, causing Wakaba to let out another squeak and let go off Jacky, who fell on the ground.
Miku was taken back by Jacky's statement. Whoah, she had expected to become a Magical Girl that quick!
And would she have an awesome attack, like Yuina and Wakaba?
She hoped so.
''HEEHEEEHEE!'' She laughed with a booming voice and hugged the small pumpkin while jumping up and down.
''I'll take it back. Your so-called 'New Species' are a load of bones, you old man,'' Boneys said while Grey was helping him gluing his head back on.
''You are so useless. What would Onibara think?'' A feminine voice asked, from behind another figure appeared. A girl who was clothed in black clothes and wore a oversized black collar on her neck with a little bell-like object hanging on it. Her messy reddish-brown hair was unkempt and only made her two, black cat ears stand out more.
''Kuroneko, you didn't even try going after them!'' Boneys almost roared while the girl simply laughed, her tail going from side to side.
''But It's just so funny seeing you fail!'' Kuroneko giggled, while deciding that it might be fun to fight with those Cures. If she did manage to get a hold of the Hollow Changer, Onibara might even promote her.
It turned out Wakaba had her very own trailer, which stood next to her uncle's, who was currently working at his job at the mall. The girls and their companions were sitting in Wakaba's trailer, which was pretty small and so messy, Yuina couldn't even see the ground. It really annoyed her. There was so much dust!
Yuina took a quick look around and a few notable things she saw were a dartboard, a very small television and even a Famicon. Yuina didn't even knew they still made those.
It also turned out that Larry and Jacky had just met Wakaba only a few moments before Yuina, Miku and Orlok arrived at the trailer-park and that Wakaba was even more confused than the other two girls.
Orlok had decided it was time for everyone to sit down and tell the girls the whole story about what exactly happened.
''So, on this very island lies the portal between the human world, your world, and our world, Halloween World. Every year on Halloween, we are able to cross that portal to go around and cause some mischief. Nothing serious since only the friendly ones are only able to go... but the more...malicious ones have to be held back by the Pretty Cure!'' Orlok began and looked around seriously. He saw both Jacky and Larry carry sad expressions but both kept quiet.
''King Hallow gave us these powers in order to both protect this world and the secret of Halloween World but this year...Onibara, a demon, and her minions attacked the castle and killed King Hallow!''
''We aren't sure If he is dead yet!'' Larry interrupted. It was true that when they arrived at the castle the King was gone and Onibara had already invaded but Larry refused to believe the King would be defeated so easily. He may even be hiding somewhere or simply been captured.
Miku noticed Jacky, who was sitting on her lap, was trembling and sniffling.
''Aw...don't cry, little pumpkin,'' She comforted and held Jacky close to her face. The pumpkin smiled weakly, they only knew each other for an hour or so and already had formed a friendly bond.
''Well, we did arrive when it was too late and were captured. Onibara cursed us into these forms and, as I already told, we managed to escape and found you,'' Orlok continued and suddenly fell quiet, like he was deeply thinking about something.
''So, what are we supposed to do now?'' Yuina asked, bringing Orlok out of his thoughts.
''Hmm, well... We can't go back to Halloween World to rescue Zeta and Wisp, because you don't have enough power yet.''
''But what about Boneys? And Grey? How did they get here and back?'' Larry asked while he wrinkled his snout and looked at the bat, waiting for an answer.
''Maybe they are also hiding somewhere in the Human World?'' Orlok said as he crossed this arms in front of him and stared at the nearby wall, which was covered with a few calendars.
''Hehe! I know! We just have to cling onto them when they teleport!'' Miku suggested loudly while still holding Jacky close to her.
''Miku...that's stupid,'' Yuina said and facepalmed.
''Um...It might w-w-work?'' Wakaba admitted shyly, still not used to having two girls and three...things in her trailer.
Yuina gave the tall girl a strange look. Did she seriously believe that would work? If they did that they would probably still disappear.
''Let's just try it next time, okay?'' Miku asked. Orlok nodded slowly.
''We'll see. In the meantime...Why don't you girls try to train a bit? Get used to your powers and all the side effects!''
''Side effects!?'' All three girl yelled at the same time. That sounded quite...off.
''Uh...That's right...uh... There are some side-effect because you are Humans and we're...not,'' Orlok answered with an unreadable expression.
''Like for example, Yuina, the reason why Boneys was able to hold you down was because I'm a Vampire and sunlight weakens my power so you are also weaker when in the sun.''
''You stupid! You should have told me that earlier!'' Yuina cursed and got a glowering look on her face. Did that mean that she was eventually going to become a Vampire?
That would be really stupid.
''B-b-but...?''
''Wakaba! Stop that annoying stuttering!'' Larry barked in huge irritation, which startled the girl so much she couldn't utter any word.
''Larry, calm down,'' Orlok almost demanded as he grasped this paws together and took a short look at Wakaba, who was still trying to utter something.
While Orlok had to admit that her stutter was quite bothersome. Larry was the worst possible partner a shy girl like her could get. He was so intimidating, even when he was like this, she would only become more and more reclusive.
''Wakaba, what is it that you wanted to say?'' Orlok asked calmly.
After taking a deep breath, Wakaba found her voice again.
''I did feel kinda...umm...w-wild when I was Cure Wolf,'' She admitted softly and turned to Yuina.
''When I first transformed, I found myself somewhat craving for blood,'' Yuina told her with an unsure voice. She didn't really want to remember that. It was so strange.
''Don't worry, You'll get used to it. Those things are all small things which won't effect your lives. After all, the fact that you are willing fight for us is...'' Orlok abruptly fell silent and just smiled at Yuina.
The girls exchanged phone numbers and e-mails before Yuina, Orlok, Miku and Jacky headed home, leaving Wakaba and Larry behind in the trailer.
''I really hope Wisp and Zeta aren't hurt,'' Jacky said in a slightly trembled voice while she rested in Miku's hands when they walked to the latter's house.
The house of the Sumire-family wasn't that far from Yuina's, only a block or two. However unlike Yuina, Miku's house wasn't near the beach and was instead surrounded by other houses.
''My little pumpkin friend. I'm gonna train like crazy till we get to rescue your friends!'' Miku reassured her when Jacky slowly hid in Miku's jacked when the girl opened the door.
''SIS! ARE YOU OKAY?'' Miku soon found herself being squeezed by her younger, but taller, sister's arms.
''I'm alright, lil' sis.''
''Why did you go to the beach after I told you what happened!?'' Kaori demanded and adjusted her big glasses.
''Hehe, well...'' Without warning, Miku grabbed Jacky from her pocket, who let out a loud shriek, and practically shoved the pumpkin into Kaori's face.
''Y-y-y-y-y-you can't tell anyone about-!'' Jacky whimpered panicky and hopped from Miku's hand, landing with a soft thud. She started to jump around randomly and sobbed.
''IT'S ALIVE!?'' Kaori cried and almost tripped over her feet while avoiding the living pumpkin.
Miku jumped to grab Jacky and tried to calm her down by cuddling her. Surprisingly, it worked.
''Is mom home?'' She asked after Kaori calmed down.
''She's staying over at one of her friend's, again.''
Kasumi Sumire, mother of Miku and Kaori, was a photographer for a fashion magazine together with some of her close friends, they would often stay over each others homes to work on the next issue of 'In or Out'
Since she was a single mother, she would often leave her daughters alone but neither Miku nor Kaori minded it that much.
Jacky regretted that she didn't told Miku sooner that it would be better that nobody knew about the Pretty Cure and Halloween World...
She just hoped Larry wouldn't find out.
Like her sister had done, Kaori seemed to accept everything fairly quickly and was even quite excited that her older sister was a 'Magical Girl'. Since their mom was away, Kaori had cooked a meal which she had called 'Yakisoba'. Jacky had never heard of it but she found herself really liking it.
Kuroneko sat in a tree and could look through the nearby window She saw the two girls and the pumpkin sitting at a table (or the latter's case, on the table)
Did the Pretty Cure really gave their powers to simple humans?
Laughable.
Kuroneko took out the needle which Grey had given her. So she just had to pierce one through an object and it would become a monster?
That sounded really Fun!
Looking around, Kuroneko tried to find a suitable object. Eventually her eyes stopped at garden chair. She pierced the needle in the chair which instantly started to tremble and grew a mouth and incredibly pointy teeth.
''Wowie! This is going to be fun!'' She said to herself and giggled when the Okinakuchi started to bump against the house, trying to gain entry.
''It's another one! H-hurry transform!'' Jacky cried. It didn't take long for Miku to touch the necklace she had gotten from Jacky.
''Alright! Transform!''
''No No! It's Boo Boo Bogey! Monster Change!''
''Oh! Hehe. BOO BOO BOGEY! MONSTER CHANGE!'' Miku screamed at the top of her lungs and was immediately engulfed in a purple light, she felt quite at ease and light-weighted, a wooden staff was shoved into her hand. Miku's hair grew longer, became a slightly lighter shade of purple and became more curly. She soon found herself wearing a dark-purple, long-sleeved dress and having a pretty big wizard hat on her head.
''Magical Spell, Potion with a strange Smell! Cure Witch! Hehe!''
