As the animal lunged at Koyuki, she dodged its attack but landed with a deep scratch on her shoulder. Koyuki couldnt fight the so she ran off. The white animal came again and did its best to keep it away from Koyuki, but the black one always knocked it away.
"Dororo! I'm being chased! Come help me!"
Koyuki mentally yelled told Dororo. Dororo woke up from his meditation and jumped out of the waterfall to look for Koyuki. Koyuki ran off to the same cliff as before and thought she might lose the animal if she jumped in. When she jumped, the black animal reached for her leg and scratched it, but didn't pull her in. Koyuki's balance went off and she didn't splash in the water, but only crashed onto land. Koyuki crawled away, holding her bruised arm, and hid behind a bush, and examined the gash on her leg and shoulder. She began to cry a little but held her tears back.
"Where's Dororo?..." she whimpered.
Dororo was running trying to search for Koyuki, only to discover that the large animal that attacked her came for him. He jumped back and dashed at it to stab it in the chest, but it slammed him away.
"So fast and powerful! What is this thing?!" He yelled.
The animal snarled and sprinted towards him, until the white animal jumped in and took the black one down. The black animal hissed and ran off. All that Dororo can remember, was it's red, bloody eyes. The white animal looked at him with it's majestic, blue eyes and ran off. Koyuki was still resting behind the bush. The two gashes on her made her cough out blood. Then she saw something come to her. It was the white animal that was holding the black one back, then it came up to Koyuki and sniffed her. Koyuki already passed out, so the canine like animal did it's business. It filled it's mouth with saliva and bit Koyuki's wrist for a matter of time. It let go, and nodded.
"I have given you power now.. Careful or you'll lose control...' The canine's voice had transferred over to Koyuki's head and stayed there. "Farewell... Koyuki.." the canine then left with it's last words to her. Dororo finally found her and helped her up..
"Koyuki! I have to get you back to the house!" Dororo was incredibly terrified at her condition, so he made a decision to go to the base. He didn't have time to call anyone, so he just placed Koyuki on his saucer and flew quickly to the base.
At the Hinata's residence, Giroro was outside picking his campfire until he heard a whirring sound. He turned around and saw Dororo coming with an injured Koyuki.
"Dororo! What happened to her!?" the corporal asked.
"I cant explain right now! Help me take her in!" Giroro agreed and helped Koyuki into the house and onto the couch. Natsumi heard the noise and came downstairs. "What are you dumb toads up to-?" She froze as she saw Koyuki on the couch and injured. Dororo was by her side, disinfecting the wounds, then turned to Natsumi.
"Natsumi! please help!" Dororo yelled as he was still cleaning Koyuki up. Natsumi ran upstairs. "I'll get some bandages! Wait there!"
Dororo was holding Koyuki's hand, crying. "Please dont quit on us... On me.. Please... You can pull through. You're strong... I know you can make it."
Giroro went to the base to get Keroro's lazy ass out and into the living room. Fuyuki came down to see what the commotion was. Natsumi came back with bandages and helped Dororo patch Koyuki up. Keroro and Fuyuki were shocked at Koyuki's appearance.
"Gero... What h-happened?..." Keroro spoke nervously. Natsumi looked at Dororo.
"Dororo. Tell us what happened.." Dororo cleared his throat from his tears and looked at everyone.
"We've been attacked by some kind of animal... I don't know what it was, but it didn't seem normal at all. Koyuki told me she was attacked and i came too late to find her like this..." everyone gasped and just stared at Koyuki. Fuyuki put his hand on his chin and thought for a while.
"Dororo... What did the animal look like?" Fuyuki started. Dororo looked at him and sighed..
"It looked like a.. canine type of animal.. resembled more of a wolf.." Fuyuki continued to think and finally came up with something. "Was there two of them?"Dororo blinked and nodded.
"One was black furred and the other one was white furred, and did looked bigger than an average wolf?"
Dororo nodded again. "That's exactly it!"
"Fuyuki! What are you saying?!"Natsumi yelled. Fuyuki shot a glance at his sister.
"Also seeing those scratch marks and that bite... I think I know what you might've saw.. It's some monster.. A werewolf!" Everyone gasped and looked at him. Dororo and Natsumi shivered.
"Y-you mean she's going to turn into a monster?..." Natsumi asked.
"Don't know for sure... There's different kinds of werewolves... They can be savage beasts, or peaceful beings.. I dont know about savage beasts, like you see in the movies.. like i said, they can be the complete opposite, just trying to survive like regular wolves."
Dororo turned to look at Koyuki and held her hand. Natsumi put her hand on Dororo's shoulder.
"Dororo... Let her rest..." Dororo nodded and the group left, but Dororo stayed and watched over Koyuki.
As night fell, the moonlight drifted from the windows and then Koyuki twitched and woke up. She saw the bandages and looked around, and saw Dororo sleeping on the floor next to the couch. Dororo woke up and saw Koyuki and smiled.
"Koyuki! You're alright!" He jumped up hugged her cheerfully.
"Ow.. Careful D..." Koyuki groaned... she rubbed her head and looked around. "Am I at Natsumi's house?" Dororo nodded. "How do you feel?" Koyuki looked at his eyes. "A little better.."
She smiled, and sat up. "Are you well enough to walk?" Dororo asked. "Yeah, I'm fine.."
As she got up, she hissed at the pain, then leaned against the wall, panting for breath.
"Koyuki?" Dororo began to get worried again and shivered.
"D-Dororo..." She fell on her knees and screamed in pain. Dororo ran towards her, but she pushed him back
"Stay away from me!" Koyuki screamed as Dororo glanced at her face.
'Her face... Fangs? Pointed ears?...Is it happening?...'
