Disclaimer: STILL no ownage! grr what will it take to have ownage!
"H-How is it dangerous?" Sai asks, not sure he wants to know the answer.
"They… they go insane… every full moon they phase but they loose all reason… they only think of food… if they bite you… they'll either kill you and eat you… or change you into one of them…" Kiara explains, her voice trembling. She suddenly gasps and sits up. She glances at the three boys then at Kaze, her face fearful.
"We need to get them out of here." Kaze whispers, voicing Kiara's thoughts.
"Wait what? We're not going to leave you-" Sasuke starts to protest but Kiara kisses him shutting him up.
"Please… either way you'll die if you fight them…" Kiara says rest her head on his chest before looking up at the sandy furred wolf. "Seth-kun… please… get them to safety."
Seth nods then bites onto all three of them and runs off with all three of the boys protesting as they leave. Kiara stands up then phases into her wolf form, her gold eyes burning with the will to protect them.
"How do we fight them Kia?" Kaze asks, trying to still her trembling limbs.
"Try not to get bit by them. I don't know how it'll effect you." Kiara says.
"O-ok but what about you!"
"I should be ok since my bred is like royalty in our world. The… toxin I guess, in their salvia won't affect me. But seeing as you're a vampire… it may not be good." Kiara says. "Just kill them with out getting bit."
"I figure as much but how do you kill them?" Kaze asks.
"Like you would any other animal. A blow to the head, decapitation, or breaking the neck works best." Kiara says.
"Right. That makes it some what easy… how many are there?"
"Three maybe four."
"That seems easy to handle but this feeling they're giving me…" Kaze says, her limbs still trembling.
"They fight to the death and they're unpredictable. My parents fought with a small group of them once. Dad was laid up for weeks, Mom for months. My aunt and uncle had to take care of me."
"I remember that. You were very upset." Kaze whispers.
Kiara nods. "They're very close now. Four of them, three male one female. The one in the front would be, for lack of a better term, the alpha. It may help to attack and kill him first, the others may run off if that happens."
Jacob and the other wolves nod to show they were listening. Kaze also nods and moves closer to Kiara.
"How are the others?" she whispers so only Kiara can hear.
"Upset, worried," Kiara says shaking her head. "They hate the fact that they can't help us."
"That's understandable. But it's for the best. I don't want them hurt."
Kiara nods then starts to snarl. Kaze follows her line of sight and gasps. Coming into the clearing was four human sized creatures. They had the head and tail of a wolf, no fur covering their hunched over bodies and they walk on all fours but their arms have grown longer in order to touch the ground.
All seven of the left over wolves stumble back, eyes wide in shock. Kaze stiffens her face fearful.
"O-Oh god…" Kaze murmurs.
"Run." Kiara whispers, crouching to the ground. Kaze looks at her, her face shocked.
"What?"
"Run!" Kiara yells as one of the werewolves leaps at them.
Kiara head butts Kaze out of the way then grabs the werewolf by the throat. The wolf howls in pain then lashes at Kiara, grabbing a hold of her left shoulder. Kiara winces then snarls as she shakes her head back and forth, breaking it's neck. The other three wolves attack Jacob and his pack and are quickly wiped out.
Kiara sags in relief then looks at Kaze and wags her tail and smiles a wolfy grin at her.
"Success." Kiara says happily. "Though I thought something more was coming… it felt as though-"
Kiara's cut off by a loud yelp coming from the direction Seth ran with the three boys earlier. Kaze pales while Kiara's ears go back both their faces showing shock. Kiara mutters an angry curse under her breath and tears towards them, yelling at Kaze to go back to the house with Jacob and the rest. Kaze begins to run after Kiara but is stopped when Jacob grabs the back of her shirt in his teeth and runs off back towards the house, quickly followed by his pack.
Kiara gets to where Seth and the others are and stops cold. Seth is lying on his side, now in his human form obviously unconscious and bleeding from bite wounds on his neck and arms. Shino and Sasuke are also wounded gravely and are lying on opposite sides of the small clearing they had taken refuge in. A low snarl followed by a grunt in agony catches Kiara's attention. She looks to her right and sees another werewolf like the ones that attacked her, attacking Sai. She looks over in time to see the wolf scratch Sai across the chest then head butt him into a tree.
An angry roar escapes Kiara's throat and she charges the wolf. The wolf turns and looks at her a split second before she runs into it. Semiconscious Sai watches the two breeds of werewolves fight. The last thing he sees before passing out is Kiara digging her fangs into the wolf's neck and killing it.
Kiara drops the wolf's body on the ground then turns and looks at Sai who has fallen over. She sighs and trots over to Seth, who's getting up on his elbows and knees.
"You ok, Seth-kun?" Kiara asks. Seth nods his head then looks up and smiles at her, most of his wounds already healed. "Good, cause I'm gonna need your help getting them back to the house." Kiara says, looking at her fallen teammates, her look forlorn.
"Right… hang on." Seth says standing up then phasing into his wolf form again.
"I'm going to make sure they weren't bitten real quick. Just a sec." Kiara says, trotting over to first Sasuke then Shino and finally Sai. Kiara's ears go back and a low snarl escapes her lips when she smells the wolf's salvia on one of Sai's wounds. She turns to Seth, her eyes frantic but still angry. "Get Shino-kun and Sasuke-kun to the house now! Sai's been bitten!"
Seth nods, his look fearful then he runs over to Shino and Sasuke onto his back and runs off towards the house. He runs to the house and stops outside the door. Jacob runs outside and helps Seth get Shino and Sasuke inside where Kaze begins to heal them with a healing jutsu.
"Seth, what happened?" Jacob demands. "Where's Kiara and that other kid?"
"For your information, Sai's probably older than you." Kaze growls, her eyes gradually becoming black.
"What's with you?" Sam asks, walking up to her.
"Nothing! Seth, tell us what happened!" Kaze yells, fangs starting to show in her mouth.
"W-We were attacked by a strange werewolf… I was knocked out early on so I'm not exactly sure what happened but when I woke up Kiara had killed the wolf and Sai was unconscious… She later told me to get those two here cause Sai was bit…" Seth says, panting for breath.
Kaze pales. "O-Oh god… not good…"
"Why? Why's that so bad?" Seth asks, looking from Kaze's concerned look to his packs worried looks.
"You were there when Kia explained, baka. There's a toxin in the werewolf's salvia that turns you into one of them!" Kaze yells. An odd sound comes from Kaze as she shakes her head then jumps away. "I… I can't help them anymore…"
"But their wounds are still-"
"I know! I know! But if I continue, I'll kill them myself!" Kaze shouts, interrupting Seth's protest.
"I can help with that." Kiara says, running into the room in her human/wolf form with Sai on her back. She places Sai on the ground and marches up to Kaze. "Kaze-sama, you ok?"
Kaze shakes her head, her now black eyes staring hungrily at Sai's unconscious form. "N-No… I'm not…"
"Uh oh…" Kiara mumbles. She pulls back a hand and punches Kaze in the gut. Kaze hacks then crumples to the ground, her arms around her waist as she gasps for air. "Better?3" Kiara asks.
"Y…Yeah… thanks…" Kaze pants. She looks up at Kiara her eyes still black but not so full of lust. "You didn't have to hit me sho hard though…" Kaze says starting to lisp.
Kiara snickers. "Getting hard to talk?"
"Yeah… they've neveh gotten thish big before." Kaze says, her lisp getting worse.
Kiara starts to laugh even harder as she pulls out a hand held mirror. "They'll return to normal soon, ne?"
"Yesth. But I'm afwaid I'm onna bite meh tongeh." Kaze says staring at her large fangs in the mirror. "And swop laughin at meh."
"You ok enough to heal them?" Kiara whispers, her look now more concerned than amused.
Kaze shakes her head. "No. I don't fink stho."
"Right… I'll see what I can do…" Kiara whispers, kneeling beside Sai and using the same healing jutsu Kaze was using.
"He's not gonna change… right?" Quil asks nervously.
Kiara shakes her head. "No. I was able to nullify the toxin."
"but… how?" Embry asks.
"I'm immune to the toxin. All I did was use my blood to give him an antidote." Kiara says. The other wolves look down and see a long bleeding gash going down the underside of Kiara's left forearm.
"You mixed his blood with your own…" Jacob murmurs, finally putting two and two together.
Kiara nods slowly, sweat starting to show up on her brow. "H-Hai…"
"But isn't that a risk in and of itself?" Sam asks. "You're blood types are most likely different right?"
"Most likely." Kiara says calmly.
"but that could kill him! If you have a type that causes his own to clot-"
"It was either watch him change into a mindless animal or take the risk of our different blood types to save him from that fate!" Kiara yells. She stops healing Sai and rests her hands on her knees and starts to breath heavily. Sweat is rolling down her face and the strain is obvious by her posture.
Kaze walks up and puts a hand on Kiara's shoulder making her look up at her. Kaze smiles gently at Kiara. "I'm ok now, Kia. Go rest and bandage your wounds."
Kiara nods then stands up and wobbles into the kitchen. Kaze shakes her head then looks at Sai and sighs. She leans forward and puts her mouth one of the wounds on Sai's abdomen. Sai hisses and arches his back before going limp again. Kaze pulls away and wipes a bit of Sai's blood off of her lips. The pack's eyes widen in shocked horror when they realize the wound she just kissed is healing before their eyes. Kaze repeats this process with all three of the boys' wounds. Kiara comes back with bandages covering her left shoulder and left forearm, both already have blood seeping through the bandages just as Kaze finishes the last of Sasuke's wounds.
"Are they gonna be ok?" Kiara asks, sitting heavily on the couch.
Kaze nods then joins her on the couch. "Yeah. All they really hafta do is wake up." Kaze pauses then grumbles, "You're blood still burns my mouth."
Kiara snickers softly then leans her head on the back of the couch, her right hand going to her injured shoulder. "Gomen, gomen."
"You went to far, Kia." Kaze growls in irritation as she crosses her arms and closes her eyes. "You've lost a lot of blood and used up a heck of a lot of chakra."
"I had to save them." Kiara whispers, obviously about to slip into unconsciousness.
"Baka." Kaze grumbles but drops the subject.
Kiara gives off one last chuckle before finally giving into the black abyss. Kaze shakes her head, still irked at her best friend's recklessness.
"You're kiss heals wound, hm?" Jacob comments, breaking the silence that fell between the group.
"Yeah. Kinda." Kaze mutters. "Don't get on my case about it. If I didn't do that then all three would have died with in the night."
"Right…" Jacob grumbles. "What about Kiara? Why haven't you-"
"It'd be deadly for both of us." Kaze interrupts. "If I did that, we would both get very sick. Trust me, we tried this when we were younger and nearly died because of it. Otherwise I would have."
"Oh… makes since I guess…" Jacob mutters.
