Last time one The Wolf, The Protector, and The Loner...
Ariel left me here with this thing.
"Just shoot me, it will do something for both of us" I heard a hushed voice speak. I looked at Okami.
"What will we both gain" I asked
"You'll be able to rid of one more vampire, while I'll be able to stop these blood urges" Okami sighed
"No, then Ariel will have my head, c'mon, lets get you to Headmaster" I sighed. Okami looked so different right now. She was weak, venerable. This wasn't her.
"Zero, I want your opinion, I know everyone else's, but I want yours. Am I a monster" Okami asked, I was confused, where is the usual cocky Okami. Well, of course I never saw her when she was hungry. I've just always heard that Ariel, Rima, or Senri would have to convince her to eat, and they always had to trick her into drinking human or vampire blood.
"Eh, depends on your definition of monster" I sighed.
"Its ok, I know the answer, let me leave you alone, bye Zero" Okami said before sprinting away. I was left questioning, who exactly is Okami Lunar, a cocky night class girl, or something much more.
(Okami's POV)
"I let him see my weak side, thats never good" I thought as I ran to my tree, I always came here to think about anything that came to my mind. So many thoughts came to my mind, like; Is Ryder and Megan still alive? Am I the one and only of my kind? Am I really a monster? Should I run away? Last question that came to my mind was; What are these feelings for the silver haired boy?
I sighed, I miss the days my life was simpler. The days when my life was planned out for me, as the alpha's daughter, I was next in line. I was also destined to marry the pack's best fighter's son, Ryder. I smiled at the thought of my pack. At least, if they were alive. Even if they were still alive, I wouldn't be aloud to return. I'm a hybrid, a disgrace to the pack. Even if I'm the alpha's daughter.
I jumped down from a tree and shifted, my wolf was solid black with white markings on my legs, they were extremely visible by my paw, yet faded into my fur as went up my leg. My eyes were yellow, and I had a crescent moon under my right eye. Standing for that I was apart of The Lunar Pack.
"Okami!" A voice called, I stiffened. It was Zero, I couldn't let him see me, especially in wolf form. No one knows about my wolf, except Ariel, Rima, and Senri. Yet, they have sworn to keep it secret. Kaname also knows, yet, I don't think he has told anyone.
"Shit, I gotta go" I thought as I ran away. As soon as I saw the school's gates I jumped. I landed gracefully on the other side. I didn't stop though either.
(Ariel's POV)
I was running around the super market, trying to find food for Okami. I heard heavy footsteps, they sounded as if they were running. Soon, I realized it wasn't human. I turned my head and saw a giant wolf. Its yellow eyes looked dead in my blue ones. I gulped
"O-Okami?" I questioned, the wolf whimpered as it laid down.
"Okami!" I yelled this time as I ran to the wolf, she was out, and started to shift back. Thank gosh she has clothes on, I quickly bought the meat and ran over to Okami, I shook her.
"Okami, wake up, please" I shook her slightly. I know we are not that far away from Cross Academy, and if I shouted, Rima and Senri could probably hear me, plus every other vampire. But, I'm not taking that chance.
"Hello little girl" A unknown voice chuckled. My head turned immediately.
"Who's there" I shouted "Im not afraid"
"Well of course not, your my next meal" Soon a Level E appeared, Okami slowly started moving. I pushed her behind me. I grabbed my sword, The Weeping Willow, and got it ready.
"Young one, you have a interesting scent on you, its not vampire, or human, its... wolf" The E said shocked, he started backing away. I heard shuffling behind me, I saw Okami had awakened and shifted.
"So, you've never seen a wolf before, huh" Okami smirked
"Please spare me, young alpha" The E shouted, I was confused, Okami? Alpha?
"I spare no E" Okami jumped over and started ripping the E to shreds. I ran back to the Academy when I heard the E stop thrashing around. Okami ran after me. She shifted mid run, her eyes are red, which means, her wolf seemed satisfied, for now.
(No one's POV)
Both girls were panting, then they started laughing.
"You really showed him" Ariel laughed. Okami nodded as well.
"We kicked his ass" Okami giggled
"OKAMI?! ARIEL?!" Yuki shouted as she ran over to the two girls. Yuki warped both her arms around the girls. The girls grunted.
"Where were you Okami?" Kaname shouted at the black haired girl. She just glared back.
"I could say the same to!" Yuki shouted
"Sorry" Ariel mumbled
"Sorry, not sorry" Okami snapped at the pureblood.
"Okami, do you know who your talking too" Kaname growled
"Do you know who your talking too" I snapped. Kaname just glared.
"Everyone just calm down, tomorrow is St. Valentines Day, everything has to be peaceful, for one day" Yuki yelled, Zero just stood there.
(Ariel's POV)
"Everyone just calm down, tomorrow is St. Valentines Day, everything has to be peaceful, for one day" Yuki yelled, Zero just stood there, while Okami and Kaname were about to rip each other's throats out.
"Fine" Okami growled, her eyes were finally there normal green color. We all went our separate ways. Yuki walked with me, Zero was with us until he left. I guess he was taking another way to The Headmaster's room.
"So, who are you gonna give chocolate too" Yuki asked, I blushed. There was one boy I liked, yet, he would never like me.
"Well, probably you, Okami, and Headmaster Cross" I smiled while I blushed.
"Your blushing, you like someone, who?!" Yuki asked, surprised!
"N-No one" I said, starting to walk faster.
"Who? Is it Kaname, Adio, Zero" Yuki started listing guys names. I stopped when she said Zero.
"Its Zero, isn't it" Yuki gasped excited
"Yes" I sighed in defeat.
"AHHHHHH" Yuki screamed, I shoved my hand over her mouth.
"Shh! People are sleeping" I snapped, she just shrugged her shoulders as we continued down the hallway. We finally made it to Headmaster Cross's room. Yuki walked in a smile happily on her face. A blush adorned my cheeks.
"Yuki! Ariel!" Headmaster Cross smiled at us. I smiled back, he was his usual bubbly self.
"Hey Cross" I smirked. He frowned
"Its Father" He sighed, I giggled.
"I know, I just like messing with you" I smirked, he smirked right back. I heard the door opening and closing, I didn't even need to look up to know it was Zero.
"Hey Zero" I smiled
"Hey Ariel" He said
(Okami's POV)
"What the hell were you thinking" Kaname snapped. I growled
"Huh, I was thinking I could get away before anyone found out about you know what" I growled.
"Okami! Thats always your plan, run away!" Kaname yelled, I could tell others were gathering around, yet, rage had taken over, I was ready to attack.
"You don't wear your uniform half the time, along with the fact your not in class, why can't you just be like us" He added glancing at my clothing. Also adding something else to my fury flame.
"Not its not, thats you, Kuran, you think of everyone as toys for your own personal game" I shouted
"Okami! You'd make a sorry excuse for a alpha" Kaname yelled. I stopped dead in my tracks. That hit the mark. Tears slowly made there way out of my eyes. I clenched them shut to keep from crying.
"S-so you think?! W-well, your t-the reason I-I'll never g-get to s-see" I cried, still angry. I ran off, yet, this time I had no intentions of returning. I shifted, not caring anymore, I ran, and ran, until I could no longer tell where I was. I know I'm still on campus, just not where.
(Ariel's POV)
"So Zero, who are you going to give chocolate to" Yuki asked
"No one" Zero stated
"Really? No special girl?" Yuki asked again. I just watched as a fight would soon begin.
"No!" Zero snapped, still keeping his usual cold-ness.
"Everyone has someone special in there lives" Yuki smiled, probably thinking of Kaname, the jerk.
"Not me! Now Yuki, stop!" Zero growled before stomping out of the room, I heard a door open and slam shut. I jumped a bit before looking at Yuki. She looked hurt.
"Hey, don't take it to heart" I smiled at my semi-sister. She smiled back.
(Zero's POV)
"God dammit! She doesn't know when to stop?!" I shouted out loud, roaming around outside, away from everyone. Yes, I do have a special girl in mind, but I don't know if I like or she is just interesting. Whatever.
I looked around, for once taking in my surroundings. I was on the edge of the academy's boarders. I heard a howl in the distance. I had heard that a few werewolves were in the area. Barely any due to the fact hunters almost wiped out the population. But now, we work together. I also heard another hunter was coming here. I think his name was Taylor, or Tyler, something like that.
"Well, there is going to be a war of hunters" I chuckled, thinking about how the new guy will think he is better than me, or Ariel. I heard a twig snap, I snapped my head in the direction, all I saw was glowing yellow eyes. Then the growl told me all I needed to know.
"Werewolf, show yourself" I snapped, if this thing is a threat to the academy, I will not hesitate to destroy it at all costs. The wolf seemed to debate wether or not to come out, yet, it, she did.
"Lunar Pack" I asked, noticing the small crescent moon under her right eye. She nodded, then a thought hit me, the yellow eyes, Lunar Pack, the black and grey. Is the wolf Okami, I mean, her name does mean wolf, her last name is Lunar. I gulped, Okami, is right here in front of me, and she is alpha?
"Okami" I asked calmly. The wolf seemed to tense. I chuckled, and stepped closer to her, she growled and her eyes turned red.
"Hybrid" I added, taking note how only vampires had red eyes. Okami seemed to sigh, she walked away as a wolf, and came back out as a human seconds later.
"You caught me" She sighed, her cheeks seemed to be tear stained. She also wasn't in her uniform. She was wearing a red tank top with a leather jack vest, black ripped skinny jeans and brown combat boots.
"Whats wrong" I asked
"Nothing" She said to quickly.
"Something's up" I said, even though earlier today I would have walked away, but, this girl, Okami. She is interesting.
"Zero, ever feel like you've failed everyone and everything you've ever been taught?" Okami asked while sighing. She sat down under a tree and looked up at the sky.
"Ya, why?" I responded while sitting down next to her.
"Well, when I was a pup, I was taught all the things I needed to be the next Alpha, I had my life planned out for me. I was happy with it. Yet hunters ruined it all, I got bit, and now, even if my pack is still alive somewhere I would get rejected. I'm a hybrid, alpha-or-not!" Okami cried, I didn't know what to do.
"I know your thinking I'm weak right now, I get it" Okami sighed, a few more tears rolled down her cheeks.
"O-Okami, I never knew" I sighed, softening up.
"On top of that, Kaname said I'd make a sorry excuse for a alpha" Okami cried into her arms. She was scrunched up in a ball. I felt even more hatred towards Kuran, now more then ever. Okami's shoulders were shaking as she cried, I felt bad for her. She had a good life, then hunters, my kind, messed it up. Along with the help of Kuran. I could do nothing to help. I sighed,
"Okami, I somewhat understand," I said, she looked up, her green eyes red and puffy.
"You do?" She questioned, I nodded.
"When I was younger, my family were hunters, that one night Ariel arrived everything felt perfect. Yet, it was all changed instantly. All three of us, Ichiru, Ariel, and I were playing while our parents were out. They came rushing in, telling us to hide. We did, yet, a insane pureblood burst in. She had blood lust written all over her face. She killed both my parents and Ichiru. I had Ariel in hiding. She bit me, and left. I got infected with vampirism and have been fighting ever since to not drop to E" I explained my life story to her. She had sorrow in her eyes. Before I knew it she was hugging me. I blushed yet hugged her back. Our foreheads were touching, Okami's green eyes met my lavender ones.
"Zero, I promise you'll never fall" Okami said, she had sincerity in her voice. I knew she meant it.
"I promise your not a sorry excuse for a alpha" I said, looking in her eyes. She backed up yet she tripped getting up and landed on me. She blushed, it looked cute.
"S-sorry!" She stuttered
"Its fine" I smiled as I looked up at the sky, she did too. Okami sat down next to me and put her head on my shoulder. I smiled at her. She soon fell asleep, I carried her to the Moon Dorms, Senri and Rima met me there. Rima thanked me while I gave Okami to Senri. They soon walked away.
(Next Day)
(Ariel's POV)
"Alright, ready for the tough afternoon!" Yuki asked with excitement, I sighed.
"I guess, but its gonna be really hard staying awake in class" I groaned
"Ya, sorry about having you stay up with me to make chocolates" Yuki apologized
"Its fine" I yawned
"Yuki, did you make Ariel stay up again" Zero asked
"..."
"Thought so, I could hear you guys giggling" Zero said
"Sorry" I mumbled, Zero gave me a soft smile before ruffling my hair.
"Hey!" I snapped
"Sorry kid but your always gonna be sorter" Zero joked, I growled
"What, your gonna go wolf on me now?" Zero questioned. I tensed, had he seen Okami. I'll have to ask him about it later.
"Kids! You must be getting to class" Headmaster Cross yelled at the three of us. We all sprinted off to class. I took my usual seat between Yuki and a kid I don't know. Today was going to be a long day...
(Okami's POV)
"Wake up" Someone shouted. I could hear them yet I couldn't see them. I looked around, frantic as to what was happening.
"H-hello" I shouted, soon familiar faces appeared. They looked older, yet I could recognize those brown and blue eyes anywhere.
"Megan! Ryder!" I yelled as I ran and hugged my friends.
"Okami! We've been looking all over for you! We need our alpha back. We have found some others from the Solar pack as well as the Lunar, Twilight, and Eclipse packs" Ryder explained. I felt hurt, I couldn't be there alpha, with what I have become.
"I-I can't" I sighed with pain. It hurt me to say that.
"Why?" Megan asked, I looked at them both, then I showed them my red eyes. They looked shocked and hurt.
"You betrayed us Okami!" Ryder growled as he shifted, so did Megan. Then, out of no where, tons of other wolves appeared. I gasped, and summoned some of my magic. They just continued to growl until they charged at me. I was crying in screaming in pain.
"Okami! Wake up!" The voice sounded urgent, it was Rima. I saw her standing in the middle of the chaos.
"Wake up!" She shouted again.
I opened my eyes to reveal that I was in my room, at the academy. Rima was shaking me slowly as tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Nightmare again?" She questioned, I nodded as she hugged me. I burst into tears. She just held me as I whimpered in fear and sadness.
~The Switch~
(Zero's POV)
"OK! Everyone get in neat and orderly lines for each of the night class students to give chocolate too!" Yuki ordered, Ariel helped shuffle the students around so that they would find the night class. Soon the monsters came out. I watched from a distance as tons of fangirls and boys started handing out chocolate. I felt jealousy when I saw the line at Okami.
"Why am I feeling like this?" I asked myself, I looked down at the three things of chocolate I had. Two for Ariel and Yuki, one for Okami. I felt stupid even thinking about her, sure. She may not be like the others, but she still has to have blood to survive.
"Ruka! Over here!" Class prez called, I snickered at that. I noticed Ariel walking over.
"Hey dude!" She called happily, I waved at her as she walked over.
"Sup." I said
"So, what are you doing? Don't you have a special someone to give chocolates too?" Ariel giggled, in truth, yes. For her to know, no.
"Nope." I said popping the 'p'. Of course, I would see Okami tonight.
"Stupid thoughts leave my head NOW!" I yelled internally
"Zero you ok?" Yuki asked
"Ya, fine" I lied, I noticed she had chocolates, and I knew exactly who they were. I noticed the night class had started to away. I snatched the chocolate from Yuki.
"Kuran" I called, he turned towards me, I threw the chocolates at him, he caught them. He smiled,
"Thank you Yuki." Kuran smiled, I noticed Okami staring at me, smiling. I smiled back.
(Time skip)
"Ugh, I hate patrol!" I growled while walking around.
"Well, look who it is, Zero" A familiar annoying voice said. Aido, Kain, Ruka, Senri, and Rima were surrounding me.
"You know should treat Master Kaname with more respect" Ruka smirked, I growled.
"Sure, I have no respect for any vampires!" I growled
"What about Okami?" Kain asked, I tensed.
"You like her, don't you?" Aido asked
"Hanabusa, back down." Rima said
"What are you going to do" Aido snapped
"Take a hint Hanabusa and back down!"
"Okami! You never listen!" Aido snapped
"I also never back down from a fight, thank you Rima for trying, you two are free, while I handle these three" Okami growled glaring at Aido, Kain, and Ruka.
"You would never hurt your own kind" Aido chuckled nervously, Okami grinned. Aido tried to freeze her feet, she jumped in the air before kicking Aido in the jaw.
"Enough!" Kaname snapped at Okami and Aido, Kain and Ruka tried to run away. Okami growled and walked over to me.
"Okami, get to class now!" Kaname ordered, she just walked away, he sighed in defeat and walked away with everyone. I ran to catch up with Okami, she was already under the same tree from yesterday. I sat down next to her.
"Sorry about them" She sighed
"Why are you apologizing" I asked
"I don't know, I just feel responsible for them in a way"
"Well, its fine" I smiled at her, she smiled back.
"Zero?"
"Hm"
"I thought you didn't like monsters" Okami smirked
"Well, your different from them"
"How?"
"Well, you are actually caring, you don't like being treated like royalty" I said, she smiled.
"Your right, but, I still hope when I find love that they will treat me like royalty, even though I don't like it" Okami smiled a blush tinted her cheeks. I knew right now was the perfect moment to give her chocolates.
"Okami?"
"Ya"
"Here" I blushed handing her chocolates. She looked shocked, and happy. Before I knew it, she was hugging me.
"Thank you, Zero!" Okami beamed, I smiled back. She also handed me chocolates, I hugged her back. We were both staring at each other, her green and yellow eyes were beautiful, before I knew it, we both were leaning in.
"What are you two doing?" Ariel's voice rang through my ears, we both jumped.
