Stranger

Death the Kid POV:

"Death the Kid…" The amber eyed women smirked. "It's been a while."

I watched as she threw Maka on the ground in front of her, letting her fall to her knees then fall flat on her front resting her cheek against the ground.

"Maka!" I exclaimed throwing myself on the ground and kneel by her side.

Medusa chuckled. "Relax… she's unconscious, she's not dead…"

I hissed through my teeth. "What do you want Medusa?"

She held her hand out in front of her, and admired her nails. "Same old, same old. To destroy everything that ever meant anything to you."

A tear dripped from the corner of my eye and rolled down my nose. "Why…"

She threw back her head and laughed as loud as she could. "Don't tell me you forgot!"

How could I forget, I couldn't shake it from mind. What happened, all those years ago was unforgettable. I could never forget.

Liz POV:

I stood there for several minutes, hopefully waiting for the wolves around me to at least pounce and attack, but the longer I waited the more my heart started to return back to its normal pace.

Please… Don't be afraid…

My eyes widened as a complete stranger's voice spoke words inside of my mind. It was a girl's voice, but I had never heard it until that moment in time. I was so confused.

Were not going to hurt you…

When I turned around once again, I stared at all the wolfs as closely as I could and as I did I noticed a brown wolf with golden eyes, just like Kid's only a bit lighter and I knew that it was that wolf's voice inside my head.

I stammered. "W-What do you want?"

The wolf nodded its head forward slowly, closing its eyes. To help, we want to help Kid…

My eyes widened. "Kid…?"

Black*star POV:

My body, once again, my body started shaking. Coldness filled up inside of me and the retched feeling of my ribs about to snap inside of my body pained, it was all that I could feel.

My wolf body turned on its back, howling and turning in pain trying to find away to get rid of the excruciating pain.

Crona slowly lifted his head. "Medusa…"

Medusa…?

My grey furred wolf body still continued to shake rapidly from side to side as I lay on the ground. No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't control the shaking of my body.

"I'm coming Medusa…" Crona mumbled under his breath as he turned around and ran off in the other direction to where I was lying.

And that's when my shape began to change back to the blue haired green eyed human that I was used to being. Where everything felt normal again, But nothing will ever be the same…

I winced. "C-Crona…"

Everything went black.

Tsubaki POV:

Patty sighed. "Liz is right, we should go help find Maka…"

I rolled my eyes placing my palm on my face. "Yeah… it's about time that we believed her for once."

Slowly I stood up and as I did there was an incredibly large weight being pushed down on my shoulders, it was so heavy that I could hardly stand on my own two feet.

Patty looked concerned. "Are you okay Tsubaki?"

"Yeah…" I sighed. "I'll be okay."

We ran down the stairs and out the front door of Maka's house and the first think I noticed with a big puddle of blood on Soul's front garden, but the owner of the blood was no where to be seen.

I tilted back my head and stared up at the sky. The day was already slowly turning into night, the sky getting dimmer and dimmer by the minute.

The full moon will be out soon…

Death the Kid POV:

"K-Kid…" Maka mumbled. "It hurts…"

I threw my arms around her awakened body and pulled her up and held her close to my chest not wanting to let her go.

"It's okay Maka!" I squeezed her tight. "I got you…"

Medusa threw back her head and began to laugh as loud as she possibly could, so loud that it echoed through the whole forest, getting more quiet and quiet.

She wiped her eyes. "You're really funny, you know that Kid."

I sniffed holding Maka as closely as I ever could. "Please… just leave us alone…"

"I don't think so." She smirked widely. "It will begin soon…"

Liz POV:

They told me that they were once part of Kid's pack, Kid's wolf pack. They told me that Kid had disappeared to try and get away from Medusa. And the told me that the managed to sniff out his scent. They told me everything, from the beginning, to the very second I was standing. It was a world I had never lived before.

We have to stop Medusa before she takes Maka away…

I nodded my head understanding. "Before it's too late."

Then one at a time the wolves around me nodded their heads slowly closing their eyes then reopening them again.

Say Kid. The wolf said inside my mind once again. What's your name?

I smiled. "My name is Liz."

My name's Blair, the light green eyed grey furred wolf is Hiro…

I turnt my head and when I did I noticed a light green eyed wolf slowly bow its head holding its eyes closed before opening them then standing up straight again.

…The brown furred brown eyed wolf is Jacqueline…

Once again I looked around and another wolf bowed in exactly the same way.

...And Justin.

I looked around again and this time I saw a pure white furred wolf with crystal clear dazzling fur and it bowed so gracefully pointing its nose directly towards my feet.

I smiled again. "Let's go."

Black*star POV:

I was so cold as the bare skin against my back froze against the snow. I looked up at the sky above me I watched the full moon slowly try to work its way out of the clouds. If I was revealed in the light of the moon, I was sure to turn back into the wolf again. I couldn't let that happen again.

Despite the pain, I slowly tried to pull my aching body underneath a tree, blocking the light of the moon away from my body, so that I couldn't transform again.

I shivered. "M-Maka…"

I pictured her smile, a smile so wide that any ocean would cry, a smile so bright that any star would be jealous. I hadn't seen that smile in such a long time. I pained me even harder that I knew the only one who could make her smile like that wasn't me… it was Kid.

"Black*star…?" A voice questioned. "Oh my god Black*star!"

Suddenly arms were being thrown around me, and pulled into a very tight hug, so tight I thought I would be pulled out into the moonlight but I didn't.

I opened my eyes, they were like slits. "T-Tsubaki…"

Her voice shattered my eardrums. "Where have you been?"

I stammered. "C-Clothes… I need clothes…"

She looked at my confused but then her reaction changed when she noticed that I was completely naked in her arms. She was even more confused as to why I wasn't wearing any clothes.

She gasped. "Oh no… Black*star, are you…"

My teeth chattered as I slowly nodded my head forward, grasping on tight to my shoulders. "Yeah…"

She sighed then turned her head away from me. "Patty!"

"Tsubaki!" Patty yelled back running over. "Oh… Black*star…"

"Go back to Maka's house and get some of her dad's old clothes." My black haired friend ordered. "Go quickly!"

Without spearing another second of hesitation the little blonde haired blue eyed girl ran off back through the forest towards Maka's house to get the clothes that would soon be wrapped around my body in a few minutes time.

Death the Kid POV:

Medusa took a step closer. "It's no use…"

I looked up at her again slowly, trying so hard to hold back the tears that were longing to escape from the corner of my eyes.

"The full moon is on its way out." She looked up at the sky. "That body of yours wont stay human for long."

I shivered. "I will control my change…"

"Ha!" She cackled. "You couldn't do that no matter how hard you tried!"

"I will…" I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate. "I will try to on the behalf of Maka's safety."

She raised an eyebrow at me. "Really now…?"

I hugged Maka's unconscious body even more tightly. "Yes."

Medusa smirked as wide as she moved her amber eyes across from me towards another part of the forest. "Let's just see how long you can keep that up."

A jet black furred wolf jumped out and stood in front of Medusa facing towards me with its purple eyes and growled continuously standing strong and full of anger, just at me, only me.

"Now, now Crona…" Medusa stroked its fur. "Calm down, you'll get your chance."

I froze as the words escaped her lips, was she planning on killing me, or Maka. Either way I didn't like the sound of either of them.

The wolf stepped back slightly, sitting at the amber eyed ladies feet still growling and staring towards me.

"You know the drill Kid." Medusa sighed. "Either hand over the girl or will take her away from you, either one is simple enough."

I hissed through my teeth. "Never."

She sighed once again. "We tried to play nicely. Crona…"

The black furred wolf stood once again and took a step closer growling even more showing its white sharp frightful teeth that glistened as the moon shone down on them.

Suddenly another wolf jumped out and this stood in front of me and Maka, shielding both our bodies protecting us both from the black furred purple eyed wolf that was planning on attacking without any hesitation.

Its soft white fur shone brighter than any star and its blood red eyes showed less ounce of fear than any frightened thing I had ever seen. It stood strong, tall but let royal. It wasn't going to let anything take it down.

Maka slowly opened her eyes and stared up at the white wolf and smiled. "Soul…"

I held my forehead against hers and closed my eyes slowly. "Once bitten on the night of a full moon, one will be trapped inside a wolf's body… forever…"
