Hey guys!

Huh..? No? You don't want me to say anything because I haven't updated in so long..?

Oh... Okay... ;_;

So sorry guys! But I've read this over and I'm crazy inspired and I have everything planned out and the whole plot in my head and I'm so friggin' excited GAHHH!

Maybe too excited?

I feel like everything is about to change and get real angst and have a proper amount of drama xD

I talk about a few of my own characters in this chapter, if you want to see the meaning of their names, read my end note. Please review and enjoy.

"Sensei? I've made my point, I'll stop being provoking, please get off of me now." The man said, his voice changing dramatically to one of false desperation.

A low growl erupted from the wolf's throat, his big paws applying more pressure to the Man's throat as a bead of sweat rolled down the visitors jawline.

"Sensei, please don't do this, there are children here..." he said, attempting to look past the beastly form and towards the gawking teenagers, staring wide-eyed.

The mention of the kids seemed to moved something in Shigure, his mind clearing away the fog of fury that had taken over and clouded his judgement. Though he continued to growl, it was in defeat as he removed his paws and moved backwards, off of the body, not facing the seven pairs of eyes on his back.

His body was engulfed again in swirls of shimmering purple smoke, dancing and curling around his body until he was the Shigure they all knew.

Still without looking back, he spoke to the man in a hushed but dangerous tone, "What do you want?"

"A quick, private conversation but first, how about I watch you explain this to them?" He replied, that same smirk returning to his lips.

"Maybe I should explain..." he agreed, glancing towards his family.

"Maybe." Yuki said quietly. He was staring incredulously at Shigure but through his initial shock, he could see that however angry the Man made him, his was still anxious and somewhat nervous of his presence, the sign present as he bit his bottom lip in silent though, his face creased with worry.

"But I want to talk to you first, I want you out of here as soon as possible." Shigure said, narrowing his eyes in distaste as he turned to look back at the Man. "Follow me."

"Shigure-"

The dog cut off Hatori before he could say more than his name, knowing exactly what he was going to say. "It's okay, Ha-san, he'll be out of here within fifteen minutes." He reassured, walking out of the room before he could voice his doubts, the Man trailing smugly behind.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ~ IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Everrything about this man screamed danger however, Shigure knew this already. He knew of the Man's past and the threat he opposed though, something in particular seemed... off. Nevertheless, Shigure led him to his cluttered study, sliding the door closed behind them and taking a seat at his desk, facing the Man who had tossed clothes off of another chair and sat opposite the dog.

"Speak." Shigure commanded.

"Hai, Sensei. You're probably wondering why I've showed up at your house, uninvited and unexpectedly, ne?"

He said nothing, instead opting to silently glare and wait for him to continue.

"I'm here to inform you on what's happening in the clan." The man said, somewhat mockingly happy.

"I don't need you to do that, do you take Hiroku's role lightly? And I remember distinctly remember you taking-"

"Hiroku-san couldn't make it, he was busy helping to deliver our newest member,"

"Oh, right." Shigure said, turning his head away, embarrassed that he had forgotten one of his most trusted friend's aside from Hatori and Aya, was expecting his wife to give birth to their child. "Send them my regards."

"Will do, now let's get down to business, shall we?"

"Make it quick, I don't trust you in the slightest."

The still air crackled in emotion between the two. Hate? Annoyance? Tension? At the moment, things were seeming too serene and quiet to trust, the quiet before the storm that would destroy anything and anyone in it's path.

"At the moment, everything is calm. The second in command and his followers are continuing to teach the younger ones how to hunt and fight, the one standing out in particular being Angitia, she's showing a lot of promise in ancient forms of hypnosis and control."

Angitia... He's sure he'd heard the name before...

"Keep an eye on her, make sure she sticks to tradition and doesn't try anything dangerous, that kind of stuff has a lot of dark power."

"Of course, we're keeping her under scrutiny. There's been no fights or outbreaks of any type and as a whole, the pack is bonding well with the newcomers."

"As a whole?" Shigure repeated carefully. As a leader, he'd learned to pick up on vague phrases like that in order to pick out the specific trouble-makers and problems that were seemingly small enough to be swept under the rug.

"It's just Mizuki..."

Dark brown eyes widened in realisation before softening in understanding.

A moment of silence passed as Shigure waited for the man to continue but he never did. "That all?" He asked.

"Mhmm,"

A frown wrinkled Shigure's face as he started at the Man opposite his with a stern eyes. "There's something you're not telling me Kiyoshi." He could sense that the man was slightly hesitant in the way he spoke. That, along with how peaceful he claimed things were was enough to send his mind spiralling with doubt. "Tell me!"

"The elders, Daichi-sama and Hoshimi-sama, they're warning us that something is coming. Something we cannot fight; something we cannot survive."

"I know that much, I can sense the storm."

At that, the man named 'Kiyoshi', looked genuinely surprised. "I guess that's why you're their leader, huh?" He muttered under his breath.

The dog hadn't bothered to ask about what he'd said, his sensitive hearing picking up every word.

"What do you want me to do, Sensei?"

"For now, talk to the clan second in command and secure the area, in fact, get a team to help. Make sure they know how to keep everyone safe and then leave. I have a bad feeling about your sudden appearance, especially at a time like this."

"Hai, I guess I'll be taking my leave now, Sensei," he said, standing and walking to the door. "Care to show me out?"

No, not really...

But he couldn't afford the man pulling another stunt like he'd done throwing the bowl at Tohru and instead, stood up and joined the man at the door before taking charge and leading him through the house.

Voila! Hope you enjoyed!
