Tsuki's POV:

As I left the clearing I caught the scent of water and followed it to a rippling brook in the midst of a grove of trees. Once my rage had cleared I realized that I was lost...again. 'I really need to stop losing my temper so often.' I think to myself as another voice attempts to penetrate through my subconscious and sadly, wins. "Remember what the village elder told you a few years ago Tsuki." 'Yes I know...that awful day.' I reply...

FLASHBACK

It was my thirteenth birthday. I was hurt, confused, and felt more abandoned then I ever had before. It was the first time I had transformed into that monster. The one that seemed to prey on my soul. Back then I hadn't yet discerned whether it was animal or human. It had a mind of its own and extreme intelligence, the creature I had now come to know as the Kurai Kokoro Ookami or the "dark spirit wolf". * I had heard the legends of the spirit who invaded the minds of villagers and slowly consumed them. It controlled them until their dying breath. I never dreamed it would latch on to my soul. From what I had been taught it took hold on the mind primarily to take hold of its victims. Was I so different? I had always felt out of place in my town. How could I not, I mean I was daughter of the chief so everyone always acted respectful and caring around me, but I knew what they were really thinking. 'What a brat!' and 'Who does she think she is walking around expecting all of us to bow down and worship her?!' They were wrong. I never expected anything from them. All I wanted was to fit in at least enough to have a select few friends who didn't strive to be nice to me only because I was the princess. It was infuriating. Thirteen years of loneliness, where no one knew that I was alone. Separation and isolation in the midst of a crowd. All the people who, if it hadn't been their duty, would never have taken a second glance in my direction. Maybe that was why the wolf spirit had chosen me. I was an easy target. Alone. No one would notice a change, not even my own father. He never had time for me; he had a village to run after all. Most of the duration of my childhood I was accompanied by the village elders who scowled down at me as if to say 'I have so many better and more extravagant things that I could be doing right now.' I didn't care anymore. Everyone looked on me in that same manner; their hate wasn't shown any differently than the rest except for in front of my father they had to at least act like they were taking care of me. It was never for my sake.

One day my father had instructed my least favorite council member elder to take me out for a bit-I got so bored that I had started to destroy the windows of the main house with my shuriken. He gave me that look again after he smiled at my father and told him not to worry, that I would be fine. Now that I think about it, that was my birthday and no one remembered. Not that they would care even if they had.

"Come on Tsuki, let's go." he said sternly as he grabbed my arm and dragged me towards the entrance to the compound.

"Where are we going?" Even though he was never kind to me I was grateful for the conversation as a distraction.

"To the forest...seems like you need some time to run around a bit." He gave me the faintest of smiles but I wasn't fooled for a second; I knew it was fake. They always treated me like such a child when I was a teenager!

"Okay, yea. That sounds like fun." I say giving him a mischievous smirk back.

" You know you're staying with me the entire length of our venture, understood?"

Ah, he knew me too well; I was known to wander off for days on end. It was the only fun I ever had. Frolicking with the animals and birds, though it may sound odd and extremely childish, was my only joy in life; they didn't care who I was or what family I came from. They accepted me for me, as one of them. "Of course I understand." I said calmly while inside I was jumping for joy at the thought of running away again.

"Good. Your father would probably have me assassinated if you disappeared while under my care once more."

...Adults really had a strange way of saying things but I was used to it. I tried not to laugh at the thought of my father killing this man for losing me. Yes, I was a morbid child, but what did you expect? I bet they all wished that I was gone too. Although I tried not to think about that most of the time.

"We're here." he stated tersely.

I looked up at the trees that were a deep green and brown and stood over a hundred feet tall. No sunlight shown through their branches onto the ground-unless you knew how to find it in the midst of the dark and dank forest. Most people who saw this place would have been struck with an explainable fear of it. Not me. This was my home. It only shared its greatest secrets with me: the meadows full of beautiful flowers in the center of a grove of trees, the hollowed out tree trunk that led to a crystalline lake that shown as beams of light bounced off its surface to sparkle its glory back to me, and finally the largest tree where I climb up and looked out over the world and pretended that I ruled it and that everyone had to pay attention to me, not because I was daughter of the chief, but because they respected and love ME as their leader.

The council member stepped back from the entrance to the wood and sat down with a boring and tattered old book. Even he didn't dare enter the darkness which was perfectly alright with me. "Just don't get eaten by wolves or I'll have to answer for it."

How considerate of him, because he didn't want me to be devoured by wolves? Ha! Actually that wouldn't happen anyway. The wolves were my best friends in the abyss. They had taught me everything I knew about hunting, climbing, fishing, survival, just everything. They were much better family to me than my real one had ever been.

I rushed into the forest at top speed, leaping from branch to ginormous branch. In the distance I heard the howls of the pack and knew that they had caught a whiff of my scent as soon as I came into their domain. I howled back in amusement, telling them that I wasn't too far away now. But there were other plans in store for me. Truthfully I never saw my friends that day because something held me back forcefully. It started to creep into my heart and paralyze me. I had been to vulnerable throughout my hatred and sense of abandonment.

"Your right...they will never respect you unless you gain more power and cast fear in their hearts with it." A sinister voice said, well not really said but I heard it all the same.

"W-who are you? What are you?" I asked confused as the pain in my head increased and I started to slowly slip out of consciousness and what I knew to be reality.

"Me? I'm your new companion and friend but you also have to listen to everything I say and obey only me." It snickered.

"No! Why in hell would I listen to you?! I don't need you! I don't need anyone! I can be powerful on my own!" I was doing my best to sound angry but honestly I was mostly freaked out that something or rather someone else was invading my thoughts.

"Hm, you're a feisty one aren't you?" it said mockingly," well I am Kurai Kokoro Ookami and I will be sharing your body from now on...unless you're strong enough to kick me out." Tauntingly I could imagine it smirking at me. "And stop calling me it! I'm a she!" It...she growled at me. "Now be a good little human and transform into what you will be from now on."

As she said those words I could feel my nose elongating and my body growing. My eyes were burning and all I could see was red. I grew fur and before I knew it had transformed into what would continue to haunt me my entire life. The dark wolf spirit.

"Great now I can finally be free again!" she howled inside of my head as we took of through the trees.

The rest of that day is a blur now but when I woke up the next day I was back to normal and wondered if everything could have been a dream. Somewhere inside of me I knew it wasn't. I kind of wished it had been but another part of me-most likely the Ookami part -was saying 'This is good, now we can show them all what we are really capable of.' A shiver went down my spine.

So there ends the back story of Tsuki. I felt it was a little OOC but she needed a little explanation of her transformations and her life so there you have it. Let me know if it was good yeah? Read and Review people it always helps :) and thanks to MoonAbyss, Shinoslittlesister, Kokora. , SoraLover987142, Dawn of the Dark Angels, and Manaal Uchiha Redfern for their ideas, support, following, and encouragement of this story.
