A/N: Ha ha! I beat the system! Posting early cause I'm going to Florida for my uncle's funeral as soon as my parents get home. . Be prepared for hotness. Mouko is the reigning favorite character in this story even by the writers. XD He's just so smexy! –drools-


Enter Mouko

I moved silently through the foliage, my amber eyes glowing in the darkness. The four people in the garden each had strange and unique energies surrounding them but I could clearly see that the white haired youth and blond man's energy were not from this planet. After a moment of study I identified the youth to be a Hyousetsu male. I felt my forehead wrinkle as my eyes narrowed in something that resembled a frown. As far as I knew Aisu was the only Hyousetsu warrior in this galaxy so that had to be him. He had all the right features. Pale white hair, frigid white aura, all that thinly veiled power, and from where I was I could tell that his eyes were light colored. If he had a jagged scare on his neck then that would be the man I was looking for.

I felt my pulse pick up, the thrill of the hunt causing adrenaline to dump into my veins. I lived for this sensation. Just as I was about to move in on my target I felt movement to my right and found Taka. "Slow down Mouko," she said softly, her husky voice mocking. "You'll lose your prey if you rush it like that." I felt my fur bristle. I hated that condescending tone she always seemed to reserve for me. She acted as if she was superior in some way when we both knew that when it came down to it I could rip her apart anytime. I dug my paws into the soft dirt at the side of the pathway struggling to control my emotions and the erg to sink my teeth into the soft flesh of her neck.

As if sensing my inner turmoil she shifted away from me, her expression slightly unsettled. "I'll take a top view and get back to you when I have something." With that she was gone and once again she had given me a back seat in MY assignment. I really would have to beat some respect into her. The thought startled me with its ferocity. The wolf's spirit was starting to over power mine. Though the animal was considerably smaller and of a more muted color it very closely resembled our Ezoookami in all ways except that it's thinking pattern was considerably more advanced. I noticed a rabbit come out of a burrow next to an azalea bush and I immediately went into a predator mind set.

I shook my self. It was time to drop this body before the wolf's spirit overpowered mine. It was too bad. I was really starting to like this form. I would have to see if it could survive on Choujuu. In my mind I pictured my Earth body. I breathed deeply when I started to feel the stretching of my muscles. I could hear the pop and grind of bones that were being shortened, elongated, or just plain disintegrated. I felt the odd sensation of having organs shift or be replaced. I suppressed a shiver as my spine shortened making my tail shrink to nothing. Finally I felt the wolf's spirit separate from mine just as it's mind slipped out of mine.

When I was finally as close to myself as I would get I shook myself and stretched. Now that I was the only one in my head it was easier to concentrate. I started walking and considered changing into a type of bird to fly back to the apartment. Taka would come with a report when she was done collecting information on Aisu so I had the night off. I think I would visit one of those arcades my brother Ookami had mentioned before I left. I yawned and sighed. Maybe tomorrow.
