Wolves Blood
A/N: Felt like updating.
Enjoy I guess
Lighting Event
"Will everyone participating please step forward."
More than forty she-wolves came forward.
"My god look at all those participants." Nao said.
"There is always a large number, since at least half fail each time." Aoi explained.
The group minus Nina were sitting on a thick tree branch, just high enough to see the event.
"A-at least half?" Natsuki asked in shock.
"Hmm, yea. It's not so bad. Since you can try again next full moon." Chie said.
Aoi shushed the two as the event started.
Multicolored flashes flared everywhere, but not a werewolf was seen.
Blinking in confusement , Natsuki and Nao focused harder.
"Omg, how fast are they going?" Nao asked, barely seeing figures that weren't caught in traps.
"Not very since you can still see them...Ah Nina finished first." Chie said, jumping down from the branch to the ground.
Everyone followed after.
They found Nina panting on the ground, near the finish area.
"Tired?" Nao asked, sitting next to her.
"Nah, I do his sort of thing everyday." Nina replied sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
Phasing, Nina phased and curled up on the redhead's lap.
"So, the only event left is mine." Nao said, patting Nina's fur back.
"The leaders said they might do it tomorrow." Shizuru informed.
"Wait? Why?" Nao asked blinking in confusion.
"The time depends on how many are participating. They may do a check later."
Nao just nodded, and looked down when she felt Nina shift, snoring softly.
"So, after the events end, what happens next?" Natsuki asked.
"Other than more partying? Nothing." Aoi said.
"We should rest up Especially you Nao." Natsuki said.
New Day
The group was woken up by their angry and hungry stomachs for skipping dinner.
Yawning they all stretched, and started towards the bathing area.
"How come no one is else is here?" Nao asked looking around.
"Maybe it's Natsuki's status around here. She's pretty much a leader as well." Nina said while stripping.
"Really? It's not like I'm intimidating. If anything I'm the opposite." Natsuki defended.
"Hmmm, you're the same as you were at Fuuka High."
"Uh, don't remind me." Natsuki sighed. "Do one crazy thing and everyone avoids. Except Nao."
"You gotta admit, what you did was crazy though." Nao said, laughing at the memory.
"What? You helped too." Natsuki growled.
"Yea, but I didn't get nicknamed 'Ice Princess' for it."
"What did you do?" Aoi asked extremely interested.
"Well..." Natsuki started.
*Flash back*
Fuuka High, 3rd Year
"Are you ready Nao? Cause once we get in there, we can't turn back." Natsuki glanced to her partner in crime.
Nao nodded.
They both were wearing a very feminine kind of camo with their nicknames printed on the back.
"Yea, I know. This is gonna be so epic." Nao said, checking to make sure her water gun was ready, pre-pumping it.
"You have your walki-talki right? Natsuki asked.
"Yea, you have your refills?" Nao asked.
"Yea, come find me if you need more. Are you talking the 1st or 2nd floor?" The bluenette asked tying her hair back into a loose pony tail.
"Hmm, I'll take 1st."
Natsuki nodded as they entered the school through one of the various back doors.
"See you in detention."
With a laugh, the two broke apart, as all hell broke loose.
*End Flash back*
Everyone was laughing.
"I'm guessing the water wasn't warm enough." Chie asked.
"Pfft, it was only frozen. We had to wear gloves to hold those guns." Nao said.
"Since I did the most damage, I was dubbed the Ice princess of Fuuka High, and only the worthy could be around me." Natsuki sighed.
"Ara, I think the name fits you. I like it, but you're more of a Queen than a Princess." Shizuru said, leaning against said girl.
Looking up to the waterfall, Natsuki saw something gleaming.
Swimming past the waterfall, she started climbing up.
"What are you doing?" Nao called.
"I see something up here." Natsuki yelled down.
Reaching her desired height, she glanced inside the cave.
*'Zuru, how fast can you get everyone up here?*
*About a minute. Why?*
*When you get up here head inside the cave.* Natsuki answered, going into the cave herself.
A minute later everyone else was up there, with their clothes, Shizuru brought Natsuki's as well.
As Natsuki was placing her clothes on, Chie asked. "What's so important that we..." Chie trailed off when she saw it.
A crystallized group of wolves that seem to be guarding something.
Reaching out timidly, Shizuru touched the crystal, just to feel how warm it is.
"Ara, I think...they're still alive."
The wolf that was touched instantly broke out of her crystal sleep.
"Where am I? Who are you?" A rough voice came from the pure black wolf.
"In a cave above a waterfall." Shizuru answered.
The wolf phased into a tall woman with long black hair.
"My family." She quickly touched the other crystallized wolves, breaking whatever spell was on them.
"Can you tell us why you were crystallized?" Natsuki asked.
"Last thing I remember is being chased into a cave by Rogues, a bright light, and then waking up here." The female said scratching the back of her head.
The rest of the wolves woke up during the explanation.
"What clan are you from?" Chie asked.
"Ice. Why?"
Silence followed the question.
"You were part of the war, weren't you?" Shizuru asked.
The four nodded, as one of them picked up the two pups.
"Then you have no idea what happened to the rest of the Ice wolves."
The four wolves gave looks of confusion.
"We need to get back to everyone else. This is incredible." Nina said.
"Wait...you said we were in a cave above a waterfall right? How are we gonna get down?" The black-haired she-wolf asked.
"Jump down. Just be ready for some cold water." Nao said as the started walking towards the edge.
Smirking, she pushed Chie and Aoi down.
Natsuki facepalmed while Shizuru giggled.
"What? I say they were ready." Nao shrugged.
"They're gonna get you for that." Nina said jumping down next.
"Yea, right." Nao said diving cannon ball style down.
"See you down there." Natsuki nodded at the four, as she grabbed Shizuru's hand and jumped with her.
Event Field
"Good Morning girls. Who are these six? I've never seen them before." Fate asked.
"They were found crystallized in a cave above the bathing grounds." Shizuru explained.
"What are your names?" Shizuma asked.
"My name is Kana." The black-haired female answered.
"Tsubasa is my name. Our twins, Ami and Momo." The silver-haired woman said motion to the two pups rolling on the ground.
"And what clan do come from?" Fate asked.
"Ice Wolves. Why does everyone keep asking?" Kana asked.
"Because, other than Natsuki here. There were no other Ice Wolves alive. You even have your guardians as well." Shizuma said.
"E-everythng and everyone we know are gone." Tsubasa voice started to crack, as tears welled up in her eyes.
Kana held her mate to her side, as tears fell from her own eyes.
Noticing their mothers crying, the twins stopped playing, and tugged on Kana's skirt.
"Mama, why are you and Mother crying?" Ami asked, tilting her head.
"Nothing baby. It's nothing." Kana replied, picking up her twins and hugging them close.
"Who is Natsuki?" Tsubasa asked, when her sobbing calmed down.
"Me." Natsuki answered from her spot between Nao and Shizuru.
"Well not all hope is lost. You are the last of the leader's bloodline. Dark blue hair and green eyes. Any pup you may have could and should have your features." Kana said.
Natsuki nodded.
"You all must be hungry, feel free to help yourself to breakfast, It's over here if you will follow us." Shizuru said.
After breakfast
"That is quite the story Natsuki-hime." Kana said when Natsuki finished talking.
"Tell me about it, and don't call me hime." A pout married Natsuki's face.
"Natsuki-chan it is then." Tsubasa teased, making Natsuki blush in embarrassment.
Natsuki sighed knowing her life just got more interesting.
"So, did you two do anything before the war?" Shizuru asked.
"Yea, we were solders ." Kana said stretching her body.
"Really? That's pretty cool." Natsuki said.
"Yea, in our clan you either a warrior or specialist." Kana explained.
"Specialist?" Natsuki asked.
"Yea, like someone who does medicine and other healing stuff, but they were on field compared to poison clan healers." Kana tried to explain.
Natsuki nodded, absorbing in all every detail about her clan.
New Day, Poison Event
"Ready Nao?" Chie asked.
Nao nodded, determination in her eyes.
"Alright, you got this. Just relax, we'll be on the side lines cheering you on." Natsuki promised.
Nao narrowed her eyes. "You better be." She grunted.
Everyone just laughed.
Nina gave Nao a good luck hug and kiss, before rejoining everyone else.
"Will everyone participating please step forward." A familiar voice stated.
Everyone looked to see Haruka giving orders to the participants.
"Ara, if Haruka is here. Then Yukino should be as well." Shizuru said, looking for the shorter brunette, later seeing her instructing at a healing tent.
The event started a few mins later.
Each contestant had to take their bow apart, put it together, and take a shot. If successful they moved back a few feet and repeated the process until they either run out of arrows or reach the goal.
Nao managed to finish within 10 minutes of starting, a new record.
"Congrats Nao!" The small group cheered, as the red head took her bow apart for the last time today.
"It went by so fast, just felt so natural." Nao said, blushing faintly when Nina hugged her.
The two poison leaders were whispering something to each other, before going up to Nao.
"Nao-san, do you recall what age you were found or where you were found?" Yumi asked.
"Um, I think I was two or three, and I was found underneath someone." Nao replied, recalling what she was told.
"Is that all you remember?" Sachiko asked fighting back tears.
"Yea, but I feel as if there is a blank in between my memories."
"Haruka, can you go get Yukino?" Yumi asked.
Haruka nodded and let to follow her task.
"What's going on?" Natsuki asked, slightly confused.
"Nao's skill, its only something that can be inherited from by strong clan members. The leaders to be exact." Yumi explained.
"W-wait, you mean that you two might be my mothers? But I'm a red-head, and our eye colors are not the same." Nao explained.
"Red heads run in my side of the family, and Green eyes run in Sachiko's." Yumi explained.
"You called Yumi-sama." Yukino appeared next Haruka.
"Yea, I think there is a charm blocking Nao's memories. Could you remove it?" Yumi explained.
"Of course." Yukino nodded, then glanced at Nao, looking for a sign to start.
Receiving a nod, Yukino began, placing her hands in front of her, she mouthed a spell.
Nao started to glow red, as memories swam around in her head, a scream tore its way out of her mouth, as hot tears trailed down her cheeks.
When the light faded, Nao started to sway, falling back only to be caught by Natsuki and Nina.
Natsuki's ear twitched as she heard Nao mumble.
"She said she remembers everything." Natsuki said aloud.
"She's back. Our Juliet is back." Sachiko sobbed in happiness
Nao came to a few minutes later, just to be hugged by her mothers.
"So Nao's real name is Juliet?" Natsuki teased.
Nao's face lit up.
"Shut up!"
"Ara, that's so cute." Shizuru joined in on the teasing.
"You guys are jerks." Nao growled.
"I think it's a cute name." Nina said.
Nao instantly perked up.
Natsuki laughed. "I see how it is. Only wanting attention from Nina. No love for your sister?"
"Yup, that's exactly how it is." Nao replied, with a smirk on her face.
"Sister" Yumi asked.
"Yup, Natsuki is my older sister. Since we grew up together and all." Nao explained.
"On that case. Thank you for taking for our Juliet, Natsuki." Sachiko said, bowing her head along with Yumi.
"It was... No problem." Natsuki faked a smile, before standing. "If you'll excuse me."
*Suki, are you okay?*
*Yea, just want some alone time.*
Reaching her a far enough destination, she collapsed, tears streaming down her face.
'Nao, doesnt need me anymore. Why does this...hurt so much?'
"-suki. Natsuki! Are you okay?" Kana asked, crouching in front of the sobbing bluenette.
Getting no response, Kana pulled Natsuki into a hug.
"Shh, just let it all out. You'll feel better. I promise."
20 mins later
Kana was still embracing Natsuki, even though her tears had long since faded.
"Wanna talk about it? It'll make you feel better." Kana asked.
"It's about Nao. We've always been together since we had no family, and now she has her memories back. I don't feel as needed as before. Sure, I have Shizuru, but it still hurts, not having a family."
Kana's heart practically broke in half at Natsuki's confession.
"Natsuki, I don't know if you'll accept my offer, but you're welcome to join my family."
"Really? I can?" Natsuki asked, her eyes widened.
"Yup, you'll even have two sisters to boot with Nao." Kana grinned.
A smile grew over Natsuki's face. "I would love to join."
"Great, now let's go get that face cleaned off huh?" The older female said, offering her hand to help the bluenette up.
Once her face was washed off, the two went back into the event grounds, just to meet up with everyone.
"Where did you go!" Both Shizuru and Nao chorused, tackling Natsuki to the ground.
"I'll tell you guys later. Promise." Natsuki comforted, hugging the two back.
"You're still an idiot." Nao mumbled.
"Yea, I know."
"Kana, why did you want us to rush over?" Tsubasa asked, walking over to everyone, the twins following close behind.
"I asked Natsuki to join the family. Surprise!" Kana beamed.
"Are you serious? She accepted?" Tsubasa asked.
Natsuki nodded.
"Welcome to the family then."
"Mama is Natsuki-chan our sister now?" Momo asked.
"That's right." Kana nodded.
Both twins grinned at each other, before pouncing on Natsuki as well.
"We've always wanted an older sister-" Ami started.
"And now our family is complete." Momo finished.
Nao's jaw dropped.
"Three sisters now Natsuki. How're you gonna handle all of that?" Nao asked.
"Easy. Treat you all the same." Natsuki smirked, loving the feeling of having a family.
Unknown Place
"Report?" An irritated voice came from a she-wolf facing the green fire.
"Our scouts have confirmed that each clan left between 30 to 45 guards. Everyone left to the Games, Mistress." the nameless scout reported.
"Alright. You're free to leave."
"Thank you, Mistress." Bowing, the scout left.
"Soon, I shall have what's mine." Tomoe cackled.
A guardian wolf came out of the shadows, wordlessly leaving the tent, but not before glaring at her Master.
New Day, Event Field
"Will all successful participants please step step forward for clan blessing." A grand total of about 40 she-wolves came forward, standing with pride in front of the three pairs of leaders.
The crowd watched as six beams of light surrounded the leaders.
By default the other werewolves watching started glowing, before the chosen 40 started glowing.
When the light faded, the 40 were wearing their clan armor, and howls of happiness broke out everywhere.
"Oi, Natsuki calm down. Your gear is oozing frost everywhere." Chie whispered.
Looking around, Natsuki noticed that a few she-wolves around her were moving away.
"Ah sorry." Natsuki grinned.
The icy temperature faded, as the group of 40 broke apart.
"I really dont feel like changing back. Do I have too?" Nao asked.
"It's up to you." Chie shrugged, rolling her shoulders, not used to wearing her armor.
"Anyone notice how quiet the forest has gotten?" Shizuru asked, her ears twitching for any sound.
The group instantly perked up their ears as well, searching for any sound.
"I don't like this. Something is about to happen." Aoi said, her eyes narrowed.
Suddenly, Rogues were running out of any opening.
The Leaders were in mild shock, before everyone snapped to action.
Howls broke out, meaning one thing.
War.
