I do not own Shugo Chara! Only the characters I create.
12:09 a.m.
-knock, knock-
"Come in," the pink headed dominant she-wolf responded; the door opened and revealed the tall slim woman with jet black hair. Amu did not lift her gaze from the fabric that was laying in front of her. "Is it finished?" The pinkette asked.
"Yes, I have sent Rhythm and Daichi to dispose of him in an alley." Angel said as she walked further into the room.
"Were there any complications?" Amu asked as she took a hold of her heavy metal fabric scissors.
"Just a bit; he phased halfway through. Naomi had to give him morphine."
"Hmm…" Amu hummed in responds.
"What will we do about the other Rogues?" Angel asked as she leaned against the long table and looked out at the glass wall; it was displaying the forest along with the night sky with the moon shining bright in the sky.
-clank-
The heavy metal fabric scissors were placed on the table as Amu stared blankly down at the fabric. "We will wait for a few days," the pinkette said. "Rogues are just as worse as gossiping teenagers and housewives." Angel gave out a dry chuckle as she pushed herself off the table and turn to face her future Alpha, friend, and pack sister.
"Amu," Angel's tone was serious and it had a hint of worry mixed into it. Amu's ear's pricked up when hearing Angel's tone, and turned to face her long-time friend and pack sister. "I received an email…" Her voice trailed off at the end making Amu even more curious at the topic.
"From whom?" Amu was being caution; she knew there were a limited few people that are on Angel's high alert.
"Clayton Smith." The room fell into a complete silence; Amu held no expression on her face.
"What did the email say?" Amu asked in a calm tone.
"He's coming…" Letting out a sigh Amu ran a hand through her rosette pink hair.
"I see…I will inform my father and look into this matter," Amu said as she walked forward to stand right in front of Angel; softly the pinkette took a hold of Angel's face cradling it in her hands. "Don't worry you won't have to see him if you do not wish to sweetheart." Amu gave her a gentle smile only to allow Angel to relax further then the touch she was receiving from her future Alpha.
"Thank you."
-knock, knock-
"Yes, Naomi." Amu called out as she allowed her arms to drop down back to her side. The door opened as Naomi stood there facing both her –currently- Alpha and Beta.
"Tsukasa Amakawa wishes to speak with you." Amu raised an eyebrow as she reprocessed the words Naomi just spoke to her.
"Well that's rare," Angel said as she took a step forward to stand side-by-side with Amu. "He's never the one to seek us without being called upon." Amu nodded at Angel's words.
"Yes, Angie's right; I have not requested anything from him….Did my father?" The pinkette asked as she glanced over at her Beta; only to see her shaking her head. "Well I suppose it would not hurt to see him…Bring him in please Naomi." Naomi nodded as she went to go fetch the human informer.
"It must be important if he is the one coming to see you unannounced and at such an hour." Angel said as she glanced over at the antique looking clock reading -12:40a.m.-
"Yes, so it seems…" The room fell silent as Amu walked over to the small consultation area inside her atelier; the small area held a black leather long L-shape couch on the opposite side of the couch were three other similar black leather individual chairs with a red wood frame. In between them was a 10x10 glass table with a black wood stand. The pinkette stood right at the center of the L-shaped couch leaving her right and left sides empty. "I want both you and Naomi to sit in with me during my chat with Tsukasa."
"Of course," Angel said as she gave Amu a tilt of her head agreeing with the pinkette. "Then I'll go fetch some tea for us all; Black tea or Earl gray?"
"Earl gray, please." The pinkette answered as Angel opened the door and headed towards the kitchen. Minutes after, the door opens and in comes Naomi with Tsukasa right at her heels. Amu placed a small smile upon her lips as she stood up and greeted her guest. "Tsukasa, it's good to see you." Amu gave him a hug as she gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Likewise, my dear." Tsukasa said as he returned the same gesture she gave him to her; the two parted as Amu held her smile on her lips.
"May I offer you something to drink?"
"Earl gray, like always." Amu nodded just as Angel walked into the room with a tray at hand. Without waiting Angel proceeded with serving everyone a cup –including her.-
"Please do take a seat." Amu gestured towards the seats behind Tsukasa.
"Yes, thank you." Tsukasa said without hesitation and took a seat. Soon Naomi followed by sitting on Amu's left side, Angel sat on her right and finally Amu took her seat right on the center; the pinkette took her cup of tea and took a sip of the hot liquid, seconds passed no one uttered a word.
"Please tell us what brought you here today, Tsukasa." Amu said as she glanced up from her cup.
"Yes, of course," Tsukasa set his cup down onto the glass table that was in front of him as he looked passed Amu's shoulder not meeting her gaze. "It seems that one of my employees' took an interest in you and is now writing an article on you."
"I take it your talking about Tsukiyomi Ikuto." Angel injected.
"Yes," Tsukasa nodded.
"What about Tsukiyomi Ikuto?" Amu asked.
"There is nothing wrong about him my dear, but I would like to know how you and your wolves communicate with one another?"
"We communicate through our mind link or in a different language." Naomi answered.
"What language?"
"Italian," Angel quickly answered as she took another sip of her tea. "Is there a problem with that language?"
"Ikuto is very fluent in the English, French, and Chinese. However, he knows his way around the Italian language…somewhat." The three she-wolves froze in place.
"He knows…the language…" Amu said in a soft whispered that anyone not paying attention could have missed.
"Yes I am afraid so," Tsukasa gave them an apologetic look. "I would have informed you sooner if I had known what was going on here…I might ne the informer to the Hokkaido Pack but I am also limited on certain things." Amu took in a deep breath as she processed everything.
"Is there anything else we should know about?" Amu asked
"I'm sure you're aware that his sister –your employee- Tsukiyomi Utau is fully aware of our world."
"Yes, yes and that she is in a relationship with a vampire –Souma Kukai-." Angel said with a roll of her eyes.
"I see you are still bitter about your last relationship with the high ranking vampire; Isuka –"A low warning growl made Tsukasa cut himself off. He gave a curt bow towards the tempered female Beta. "Forgive me Beta I did not mean to offend you."
"Yes, well please refrain from mentioning the name of that man in my presences." Angel's eyes were slightly glowing a bright golden brown; Tsukasa gave another curt bow with his head as he slightly bared his neck towards the young Beta.
"Enough, Angel." Amu ordered in a soft tone as she placed a hand on her Beta's shoulder. Angel backed off as she regained control over her wolf and looked away with her arms crossed across her chest. "I think that is enough for today Tsukasa. If there is any more information on the topic of Tsukiyomi Ikuto I will want you to stay in contact with my Gamma; Naomi." Tsukasa nodded; waiting for the dominat she-wolves to take a stand; Tsukasa kept his gaze away from their eyes. When any race meets the eyes of a dominat wolf to them it is a form of a challenge. Finally the three stood up in sync, allowing Tsukasa to take a stand as well; again Tsukasa gave a bow to the three she-wolves slightly baring his neck.
"I'll keep in touch." The informer said as he made his way to the door, but just before he stepped a foot out into the hallway Amu called out.
"One more thing Tsukasa," Amu said in a calm tender voice. "I need some information on a hand full of Rogues; Angel will send the list of names by tonight. I would like to have the information ASAP if possible."
"Why of course my dear Wolf-Princess anything for the future Alpha of the Hokkaido Pack." Tsukasa turned around to face the pinkette; he flashed a soft cheerful smile as he once again bowed to her.
Le Désir d'un Loup
2:25 a.m.
"I have sent out both emails." Angel spoke to the pinkette.
"And our pack-mates have informed me that they are all out in a group run." Naomi added. The three she-wolves were all sitting in the living room; the wolf princess was sitting on the single armrest chair while both her Beta and Gamma shared the couch.
"Thank you for your hard work today my dear sisters." The pinkette said with a gentle smile as she received a curt bow of their head out of respect to their future Alpha and pack sister.
"Now to discuss the issue with our language communication when in the presence of Tsukiyomi Ikuto."
There is truly not much to say on the subject Amu." Angel said
"Yes, I agree he has taken all four of our basic languages we use to speak with one another." Naomi added. Amu leaned her head back onto the comfortable chair.
"They may be the four basic languages we overly use however; we did make two trips at the beginning of this year; as I recall both of you along with our pack-mates under our care were present on those two trips." Angel along with Naomi looked at each other not knowing what Amu was talking about. It took them a while over looked everything that has happened during the year until they finally recalled the trips.
"Romania and Russia." The two she-wolves said in sync.
"B.I.N.G.O."
"That just might work." Angel said as she thought it over.
"Yes, since Tsukasa said Tsukiyomi was fluent in English, French, Chinese, and somewhat on Italian. He never mentioned any other language other than those fours."
"Exactly we might not be as fluent as we would like to be but we're fluent enough to live in the country if the time ever calls for it." Amu said as the other two she-wolves nodded in agreement to what their Alpha just said.
"I suggest on using the Romanian language we did spend more time there then in Russia." Angel said as Naomi nodded with what the Beta said.
"Yes, I agree, though the prince of the Romanian Pack's mate insisted on us to talk in English so she can follow along with what we were talking about." The pinkette added as she recalled the day; she gave out a sigh as she lightly rubs her eyes. "Alright, we should call it a night you two should get some sleep. We will be busy later in the day."
"You should get some rest as well Amu." Angel said as the three stood up in sync.
"I will take a nap later in the day; I have to wait for the others to come back and I need to call my father."
"Very well, we'll head to bed," Angel said. "Goodnight my dear Wolf Princess." Angel slightly bowed with Naomi following. Amu watched as her Beat and Gamma go up the stairs and into their rooms. When the pinkette hears the 'click' of the closing door she took out her cell phone and dialed. The pinkette only waited until the second ring when the person on the other side answered.
"はい (Yes)." A male deep voice answered; his tone was soft yet strong.
"父、私はあなたの何かを求めるたい(Father, I wish to ask something of you)." Amu spoke in a formal tone.
"What would that be my child?"
"Clayton Smith," Amu spoke the name as she took a pause. "It seems that he has made contact with Angel Moon –One of the heirs of the Moon family-…he's coming for her."
"Did she bring the issue to you?" He asked.
"Yes, of course."
"Angel is not one to get easily waivered by a male –let alone an Alpha male." He said while evaluating the situation.
"I agree," Amu said as she took a seat on the arm rest chair. "As you may recall she did have a situation relating to him and …Isuka Senatami …" When the name left Amu's mouth the phone went dead.
"It's best to say Angel should stay with you." The pinkette's father finally spoke. "I was contacted by the American Alpha; he will be visiting us. I will be telling him along with my Beta and Gamma that Angel Moon is looking into an issue in Russia that involves a pack member and she won't be returning until the following year."
"Did he say what he wanted?" Amu asked
"It seems he wants to discuss something with both Haru and I."
"Our Beta? That's unusual."
"Yes, very. I suggest you keep on your toes, my daughter."
"はい、父(Yes, father)."
"I expect a detail report on what is going on with you and your pack-mates later in the day."
"はい、アルファ(Yes, Alpha)."
"I will look over the report and will visit you depending on what I received."
"Very well."
"今取得のためにいくつかは、私の小さなスズメを休ま(For now get some rest my little sparrow)."
"おやすみパパ(Goodnight papa)."

Le Désir d'un Loup
"Ikuto you need to drop thee interview with Hinamori Amu." Ikuto looked over his shoulder as he looked away from his computer screen.
"Hello to you too Utau." Ikuto responded, ignoring what she just said. "How did you get in here anyways?"
"You gave me the copy of your keys; that's beside the point. You need to stop this interview now." Utau pushed on with what she started. Ikuto gave out a sigh as he turned his chair around to face his sister.
"Just why would I stop writing my article just because you told me too." Utau didn't know what to say; 'stop writing it because you're getting close to a Lycan?' Yeah right, because he will believe you right away, Utau thought. "In any case shouldn't you be happy your boss is getting more publicized; you'll get more work."
"That's not the point Ikuto I could care less if I get more work or not; Ms. Hinamori already has a well-known name despite not having her name everywhere like every other designer out there." Ikuto pinched the bridge of his nose as he lets out a frustrated sigh.
"Look the article is going to be published; I will be continuing with my interview with Amu, Tsukasa already approved it so it's final."
"Amu? You're calling her by her first name already?" Utau pointed out, which only gain her to see her brother's cheek dusted a soft pink. Her eyes widen at what she was seeing; her brother is actually blushing. "You…You like her." Ikuto comb back his hair with his fingers as he tried to push back his emotion. His eyebrows knitted together as he gave Utau an annoyed look.
"Of course not! That's ridiculous why would I have feelings for the person I'm interviewing?" Utau gave her brother a hard stare as she looked him straight in the eyes. "Plus, it's not like she would go for a guy like me; she might even have a boyfriend already." Ikuto said with a down casted look. Utau looked at her brother; she's never seen him looked this down over a girl, let alone a girl he's only met a few days ago. Utau slowly walked over towards her brother and took a seat right next to him; on the chair beside his. Utau dropped her head as she gave out a sigh.
"What do you think of her?" She asked as she gazed at the floor.
"I don't know how to explain it; she's different from all the other girls I've met," Ikuto said as he took his head into his hands. "I know it sounds cheesy but I feel like we were mean to meet or something."
"Look Ikuto…All I'm going to tell you is to…keep an open mind to everything around you." Utau said as a small sigh escaped her lips.
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it you idiot; I'm not just going to give you the answer just like that." Ikuto rolled his eyes as Utau took this chance to stand up from the chair.
"Oh! Wait Utau; can I ask you for a favor?" Utau raised an eyebrow.
"Depends on what it is?"
"It's nothing big just…you know…an interview with Amu's employees'." Utau slightly scoffed.
"Why are you asking me? Shouldn't you be asking Ms. Hinamori." Ikuto scratched the back of his head.
"Well yeah, but since I have you here now I wanted to do it right now," Ikuto said. "I'm sure she'll agree to it tomorrow when I ask to speak with her other employees'."
"Fine let's get this over with since I have Kukai waiting for me at home."
"So he's back from his business trip?" Ikuto asked.
"Yes, he came back yesterday in the afternoon."
"Don't you think he's taking to many business trips?"
"No," Utau said as she took a seat once again. "Oh by the way Kukai is having a small party…do you want to go?"
"What kind of party?"
"It's a business party for some of his clients and partners he works with."
"So why are you going?" Ikuto raised an eyebrow.
"Well for one I am his girlfriend so that makes me his date and seconds Kukai is one of Ms. Hinamori's client's so if she can't make it I can easily fill in for her." Upon hearing Amu's surname Ikuto's ears pricked up.
"Amu is going to be attending?" Ikuto asked but only received a shrug from his sister.
"I don't know yet, but if she doesn't then usually her right hand assistant goes in her place…but I'll doubt she'll come to this one since Isuka is going to be there." Utau murmured the last part making it hard for Ikuto to hear.
"Alright I'll go." Utau did a double-take not believing her brother had agreed.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I mean it can give me a chance to see who else I can do an article of after I'm done with Amu's." Ikuto said as a smile danced upon his lips.
Le Désir d'un Loup
-Tap, tap, tap, tap-
Slow footsteps could be heard in the big empty ballroom; the darkness consumed the room the only light was coming from the moonlight that was stream from the single opened curtains. The footsteps stopped right at the edge of the streaming light. "Honesty how can people call you a gentleman when you're here making a lady wait for you." Spoke out a high pitch voice that hid in the shadows.
"Truly the blood you drank must have rushed to that empty head of your –Saaya because there is no lady standing here before me." Responded the owner of the legs standing at the border between darkness and light. Saaya let out a low growl as she slowly stepped into the light; the woman stood at 5'5 a slim silhouette, slim legs, overly big breast; and pale porcelain skin. She was eye candy to the male population; dressed in a crimson red V-neck bodycon business slim pencil cocktail dress with a pair of black/nude needle pumps. Saaya twirled a strand of her hair in between her fingers –her auburn curly hair bounced lustfully on her shoulder as she glared at the man in front of her with her slightly sharp green eyes. "How unusual to see you covered up." He added as he took in her appearance.
"Hmph…I'll have you know I always appropriately." The man scoffed at her words.
"Of course you do dear sister, of course you do." Saaya pouted as she crossed her arms across her chest making her arms push her breast up.
"Tadase you are such an ass!" The man –Tadase- finally stepped forward; steeping into the light. He stood 5'9, built slim silhouette, long slim legs. He's a version of a living prince charming; dressed in a black designer suit with a white dress shirt and deep red tie. The moonlight shined off of Tadase's golden blonde hair. The blonde haired man rolled his ruby red eyes at his "sister".
"Yes, well I might be an ass to you but to the lady's I'm a prince." He said as he flashed her a smile showing his pearly white sharp teeth. "Down to business then, have you gathered enough?" He asked all silliness leaving his face.
"Yes, yes I got them." Saaya answered as she started to check her nail like it was the most important thing at the moment.
"Excellent, now to move on to phase two," Saaya glanced over to the blonde man. "We're one step closer to taking down the most powerful Alpha in Japan –The Hokkaido pack Alpha; the Hinamori's."
