Chapter 7 In Which We Meet the Wolf's Pack:
Third person POV:
The full moon shone down upon a scene depicted only in horror stories (and Rins nightmares), half a dozen Finders struggled to hold back an akuma, while waiting for the incoming exorcists to hurry the hell up and save their asses.
"Just hold on a little bit longer! They're almost here!"
"Well almost just isn't good enou-—"
They had missed an akuma, but the akuma hadn't missed them.
Unknown POV:
Screams rent the air, detected only by the packs sharp ears. We were close.
'Neina, do you smell anything peculiar?' I asked the wolf next to me.
'There are three others besides those in the town, heading by us. Two of them have the same scent as you in your wolf form.'
Interesting… my wolf form was when I activated my innocence, so the two of them were most likely exorcists as well…
"This'll be interesting, ladies and gents! Two exorcists, just my luck! Shall we see how this plays out, or shall we lend our assistance?"
A chorus of howls tore through the air, and a feral smirk adorned itself upon my face.
Lena Harrison was back in town, and she wasn't taking any prisoners.
Those poor sorry bastards that got in her way better watch out…
Rins POV:
Something was wrong. From a hundred years worth of experience fighting I could tell that something bad had happened. Touma (our finder) couldn't get a hold of the finders within the ghost town of Tonnere…something had definitely gone wrong…but what?
A chorus of howls tore through the night air, making the edges of my mouth turns up into a smirk…and wouldn't you know who decided to drop by? The only wolf I'd ever like.
Standing there before us was a huge wolf, black as night and dark as sin, with a white cross on its ear…Lena. Even though I couldn't see my face, I'm pretty sure that if I'd seen the smile on it I would have freaked myself out…the idea I'd just had was too tempting not to do…and it would enforce BaKanda's opinion of me being a harmless annoying little girl…Mwahahahahaha!
'GLOMP!'
"WOLFY-CHAN!"
I nuzzled my face far into the wolfs scruff to whisper to her so she wouldn't think I was completely crazy.
"Nazare Rinsetta…Lena hovle mentodre…naseem shinte naza lockoz, naza nekoa hej rinasta naseemee oliopteen. Gercence to, Lena." (It's Rinsetta…Lena play along, they think I'm crazy, I want to reinforce their opinion. Thank you, Lena. (A/N: It's in that ancient language that the old lady Maeve spoke of :P)).
Third Person POV:
Kanda and Touma stood speechless as the frickin' idiot (in their opinion) glomped a humongous wolf. A freaking wolf! Who the hell 'Glomps' a wolf? Apparently a moyashi with a death wish.
What happened next took the cake for weirdest things seen in life.
Where there once was a wolf now sat a woman, who was now hugging Rins back.
"Ah, Rins-chan! You still haven't gotten any taller! Did you finally ditch that pig of a man, Cross?"
"Mou, Lena-chan, he knocked me out and left me in a village. I can never go back there because when I woke up, I had a temper tantrum, and then I made a big crater with my fists, and everything went ka-blewy! I didn't mean to, I was just angry, and anyway, the villagers got a nice new lake! They didn't have to chase me with pitchforks! That was totally unnecessary!"
An evil aura surrounded the two of them as Lena started cracking her knuckles and muttering about teaching a perverted old man a lesson…by castrating him with a rusty spoon.
At that comment, Kanda and Touma unconsciously protected theirs (and every mans) pride and joy…
"Oy, Moyashi, who's she?"
"Names Lena Harrison, who wants to know?" asked the woman, suddenly standoffish and stoic.
"Tch."
"Does your brain have a problem with computing sentences into understandable sounds in order to reply, or is it that when faced with something incomprehesible, you turn into a brainless baka? Hmm?"
"Tch!"
"You realize that that basically proves my point, right?"
"…"
"Speechless?"
"Tch- Oy! What the Hell are you doing, Moyashi?"
The moyashi in question just gave him a look that asked if he was an idiot as she put an ear to the ground.
"I'm listening to the pleasant vibrations the earth is giving off… doesn't everyone? It's very calming…"
As everyone looked at her in disbelief, sweat drops growing on the back of their heads, Lena burst out laughing.
"Never a dull moment around you, is there, Tessena?" (A/N: Tessena means teacher.)
"Guess not, Meyin." (A/N: Meyin means student)
"Not, to intrude on a reunion, but how exactly did you turn into a wolf?" asked Touma.
With a Wolfy grin and a disturbing glint in her eyes, Lena fingered the before unnoticed cross tattoo on her collarbone before she answered him with a smug grin and arrogant tone.
"Innocence."
"What?"
"Yep… I'm awesome, aren't I?"
"…"
"Ahh, Wolfy-chan, I think you broke them, said Rins grinning madly.
This is up to where Astraea's Judgement wrote... From here on, it will be me, I believe. Please pray good luck for us!
