I don't own Shugo Chara!
10: 30 p.m.
A tall golden brown headed man was pacing around the living room as he though over what had happened that day. As he was distracted by his thoughts that were swirling around his head his two wolves were simply sitting calmly on the couch just staring at their Alpha torture himself. "You're going to make a hole on the floor if you continue to pace back and forth, and Amu isn't going to like that." His Beta said as she looked at her nail as if there were the most important this in the world at the moment. The male Alpha gave her a sharp glare which made him involuntarily stop pacing for a moment.
"Look Clayton, I get that your mad that despite having come all this way to get your girl you end up finding out that she isn't even in the county." The Beta said as she dropped her hand onto her lap as she turned her gaze off to the side. "It's not like she wanted to see you anyway." She muttered under her breath but it was loud enough for her stubborn Alpha to hear earning her a warning growl from the pissed off wolf. The Beta held up her hands as she slightly shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm just saying," Clayton rolled his eyes at the she-wolf.
"Then do me a favor and don't say." Just as he finished saying his sentence the front door opened. Clayton's head quickly turned towards the door; if he were in his wolf skin then the Alpha's ears would have perked up, as his tail would be wagging with anticipation hoping that the person that was behind the other side of the door was the one person he's been wanting to see for over a ten long years. Not wanting to wait any longer in the living the Alpha walked over towards the entrance. However, his hope was soon crushed when the door fully and revealed the pink-headed Alpha's pack. The pack walked into their home with smiles and laugher but that soon vanished when they saw the American Alpha. They gave a small bow to the male out of respect to him but they didn't submit to him.
"Good evening," Musashi greet him while the others simply stayed quiet. Clayton straighten himself as he faced the small group of pups.
"Good evening, I take it that you are the wolves that are under Amu's watch." The group nodded. "Who is in command while she and your Gamma are away?"
"That would be me," Temari said as she stepped forward to face the dominant wolf.
"What is your name she-wolf?" Clayton asked.
"Temari Blossom, Alpha." Clayton raised an eyebrow.
"Who is your Beta?" He asked in a chance that one of the pups would slip up and say that Angel was actually here and not where Amu, Tsumugu, and Haru had said.
"We don't have a Beta. We only have our Alpha and our Gamma." Kiseki answered the dominant wolf. Clayton lips drew into a tight line, while his hopes and chances are all cut short. Without uttering another word Clayton walked away making his way through the living but instead of stopping he kept walking only uttering a few words to his wolves.
"I'll be back." That's all he said. He didn't wait for their response, he made a straight line towards the kitchen door that led to the forest. "I need to kill something." He murmured to no one in particular as he walked out of the house and into the dark night. Clayton didn't even discarded his clothes as he phased into his wolf skin, ripping his clothes into a tattered mess. He shook his wolf form to get all of his shredded clothes off of him. Clayton's wolf was slightly bigger them that of Amu's, his fur was dark black brown. His breath taking multi-color eyes were azure blue that were glowing brightly along with the moonlight that shined upon him. Like all the male Alpha's of their race Clayton was huge in his wolf skin; females are equally huge in their wolf skin however being that males are always a head taller than the female in their human skin applies to their wolf forms.
Clayton sniffed the glorious air sending a ripple of pleasure through his body for the hunt to come his way. "Let the hunt beginning"

"Is Angel Moon really his mate?" Kyoya asked his Beta who was scrolling through her cell phone. Silver slightly lifted her gaze up towards her Gamma.
"Truly, I don't even know," Silver answered as she locked her phone and dropped it into her lap. "But from what I heard from other male wolves was that her scent to them was of fresh roses, as for our Alpha her aroma to him was of fresh roses and vanilla."
"Well isn't that a sign that they are true mates?" Kyoya asked with a tilt to his head.
"Well yes, but what about the other signs." Silver stated to the slightly younger male. "His marking haven't changed nor has he mention anything about the mental bond that only true mates have." Kyoya nodded his head in agreement with what his Beta was saying.
"But it could be that the she-wolf is blocking their mental bond, I mean she might be half-human but she was raised within her Lycan culture making it that she learned all about the mating signs." Silver tittered tottered her head somewhat agreeing with the Gamma's statement.
"Okay let's say you're right but that wouldn't explain why their marking haven't changed." The two pondered into the whole idea until Silver had enough of this. "Argh! This is stupid, Clay is going about this all wrong he shouldn't even be pressuring her to do something that she doesn't want. I hate to say this but despite him being my Alpha I have to side with Angel Moon here."
"So are you saying that you would help our Beta in escaping from your Alpha's hands?" A soft tender voice spoke out from behind the two unexpected American wolves. The two turn to face the tender voice to find a blond haired she-wolf with emerald green eyes; dressed in a green pastel princess chiffon scallop neck dress that came up just above her knees in the front and slightly dip down to her mid-calf.
"If it came down to it, I suppose I would help her." Silver responded. "I'm sorry but who are you?"
"I'm Suu Clover," the she-wolf reply not moving from her spot.
"Tell me Suu do you know where Angel Moon is?" Kyoya said as he eyed her.
"I only know that she is unavailable to us." Suu said choosing her words carefully.
"Does that mean that she was here?" Silver asked at this point. Suu gave a small smile to the two American wolves.
"She was…but she was called upon our Alpha who assigned her to do something else." Silver heard the true in what Suu was telling her and her pack mate.
"Thank you Suu, you may return to what you were doing." Silver said with a tiny smile placed upon her lips.
"Actually, I came to ask, if you two were hungry?" The two wolves were slightly taken aback but quickly jumped on the offer the she-wolf had given them.
"Yes, we are." Silver responded for both her Gamma and herself.
"Great, well dinner is ready if you wish to join us all." Suu said as gestured towards the dining room. The two wolves stood up and followed Suu into the dining room where the rest of the pack were sitting and waiting upon Suu's return.
Le Désir d'un Loup
The sounds a beautiful classic instruments filled the air of the grand ballroom as Amu bid another goodbye to a couple. Once they were out of sight and away from the pinkette and her Gamma, she gave out a sigh. "Now I remember why I dislike going to these kinds of events." Naomi let out a soft giggle to her Alpha's words but her soft laughter soon faded as she saw a male making his way over towards them with a female right at his side. Amu taking note that her wolf had gone silent was about to part her sweet and tender lips to question if she was alright but was completely cut off before she even had a chance to utter a word.
"Hinamori Amu, daughter to Tsumugu and Midori Hinamori, and Alpha heir to the Hokkaido pack." Amu's body stiffen at the sound of the 'oh' to familiar voice. Slowly Amu turned her body at an angle where only half of her body was facing the man. "It is an honor to see you once again…How long has it been now since the last time?" Amu's sweet lips drew into a tight line but she quickly reformed it into a tender smile.
"Senatami Isuka, son of Demetri and Elizabeth Senatami, and Sire to all Vampires." The pinkette finally allowed her body to fully face the one man that her Beta did not want to see. "It's been five years since we last seen each other…Since that fateful day." Amu added watching the man's body, noticing that her words had a small effect on him.
"Truly fateful," Isuka tried playing it off only to fail. Isuka cleared his throat as he once again made eye contact to the pink-headed Alpha, only to shift his gaze towards her shoulder. "But do tell me my dear Amu, did you come all by yourself this evening?" Amu mentally rolled her eyes at the "smart" question the Sire vampire asked. Know quite well on what he was really asking.
"No I did not come alone this evening, I brought along one of my wolves to accompany me to tonight's event." Amu slightly moved to her right side to reveal said wolf. "Isuka please meet my Gamma Naomi Tsukirumo. Naomi this is Sire Isuka Senatami." Naomi gave a curt bow of her head to the male vampire in front of her. While Isuka was regaining back from his dumbfounded stage, quickly returning the gestured to the she-wolf.
"Your Gamma…And what of your Beta?" He asked with no hesitation in his words.
"She is not in the country at the time. My father sent her on a task in Russia, she will not be back for quite some time."
"Running away with her tails between her legs I see." Spoke out the female that was standing next to Isuka's right hand side. Naomi let out a low growl towards the females comment, pushing past Amu's arm as Amu gaze turn towards the female. Yumiko Senatami, Amu though.
"You will not disrespect our Beta, she is not running away." Amu placed a hand on Naomi's shoulder pulling her back. Whereas, Isuka gave a sideways glared at his sister making her take two steps back.
"Please excuse my sisters comment she meant no disrespect to your Beta." Isuka said with no lie laced into his words. Amu mentally scoffed, how could he when he is so madly in love with said Beta.
"Maybe, you should teach your blood suckers a lesson on not to make stupid remarks," Amu said as her face slowly faded into an expressionless one. "If you could excuse us we still need a few more people to greet." Without even a curt of a bow Amu turned on her heels and walked away with Naomi in tow. Staring at their retreating back Isuka opened his mouth to speak.
"Yumiko," he called out to his sister. Yumiko eyes were gazing at the polished floors of the grand ballrooms as if they were much more interesting at the moment.
"Y-yes, Sire," She knew when Isuka isn't calling her by her nickname that he always uses, meant that something was going to await her.
"We will discuss your behavior when we get back to the manor." With that he walked away from his sister and her lackeys. Neither, Yumiko, Saaya or Tadase dare to look at Isuka as he left from their sights. Yumiko slowly lifted her head as she turn her gaze towards the two she-wolves; glaring at their smiling expressions.
"Tsk, smile while you still can you stupid flea bags because it will not last once I'm through taking down your pack." When the last word rolled out of her mouth Yumiko turn, as she gracefully walked away. A pair of golden-brown eyes watched as the small group retreated from where they were standing to the shadows of the grand ballroom.
"Is there something wrong Alpha?" A tender concerned voice asked breaking the Alpha's train of thought. Amu looked over towards the owner of the voice and smiled.
"No, there's nothing wrong." The two she-wolves were alone at the moment, taking a break from greeting people. Naomi looked over towards the pinkette was just look and saw the retreating backs of the female blood sucker, a low growl emitted from her throat. "Naomi." Amu said gentle as her Alpha power roll over the young wolf, making the wolf submit immediately.
"But Alpha," Naomi tried reasoning with her Alpha.
"We are guest at someone else's event we will not bring shame to our pack by a stupid bitch and her taunting words." Naomi let out a heavy sigh as she dropped the subject. "You'll have your chance someday." Naomi nodded. A waiter walked up to the two she-wolves and offer them a glass of red wine.
"No, thank you," the pinkette refused knowing that it wasn't actually red wine. "Do you by chance have white wine?" The waiter tilted his head in confusion, until he notice their scents –wet dog-.
"Oh, but of course." He said as he gave them a small bow. "I'll be back with your wine." He wasted no time to scurry away from them.
"Tsk, stupid vampire." Amu mumbled loud enough for Naomi to hear.
"Vampire? You do know they don't exist right Ms. Hinamori?" Both she-wolves eyes widen at the sudden voice. Slowly turning her head towards where the voice came from Amu's golden-brown eyes met with indigo. The two stared into each other's eyes like they were frozen statutes searching for something that they themselves didn't know. Amu was the first to recover from her trace as she composed herself, a small smile danced its way onto the perfect lips of the pink-headed she-wolf.
"Mr. Tsukiyomi, to think that you were the reporter that Kukai invited to the event." Amu was quick to change the subject. He's not ready to know about our world, Amu thought.
"Yeah," He said finally returning back to reality. "But do tell me Amu, do you believe in thing such as vampires and creatures of the night?"
"Don't you?" Amu's words held no hesitation as she returned the question to him out of impulse.
"I actually don't, but then again if they really do exist than seeing is believing, as the saying says." Ikuto finished saying as the waiter that had left just a few seconds ago came with both Naomi's and her drink. Naomi hesitated in taking the drink when the waiter offered it to her but took the glass into her delicate slim fingers. Then the waiter turned towards Amu and offered her, her wine glass. The pinkette looked down towards Ikuto's glass and saw that it was the blood wine that the other guest were having. Without thinking Amu took the wine glass out of Ikuto's hand.
"Hey!"
"How much have you drank from this wine glass?" Ikuto stretched out his hand in order to retrieve back his drink only to fail which Amu dodging his attempts.
"Grrr…I haven't I just got it before I came to talk to you." He growled, sending light shivers on Amu's porcelain skin. The pinkette quickly shook the feeling off as she eyed the bluenette slightly rising her eyebrow.
"So you were intentionally coming to talk to me." Amu stated as she handed Naomi the wine glass. "And you were thinking that you would get a glass of wine so that you can get yourself slightly drunk so you can loosen yourself up." The bluenette's eyes widen, taken aback from the sudden comment that the pinkette designer just told him and did she hit the nail on the head.
"How did you…?" Ikuto said as she words faded not knowing if he wanted to know her answer or not.
"Your face is an open book to me," The pinkette said with a small cocky smile. "Plus I'm sure your still pretty nervous about what had happen earlier in the day. What's a little to loosen up the nervous right?" Ikuto's face had a dusty pink blush upon his face. Amu was getting quite amused at Ikuto's reactions to her words. With a smiled painted upon her cheeks Amu looked at the flustered human with adoration. Soon Amu felt her Gamma's presences beside her and took the second wine glass that was within her hand. She slightly sniffed it and let out a small sigh as she handed the glass over to the bluenette.
"Here you go Mr. Tsukiyomi, I'm sure that this is suite your taste." Ikuto looked over to the pink-headed designer and saw her holding out the wine glass. Compare to the one that he had first had gotten himself this drink seemed somewhat lighter and more bright red. And the aroma of the wine was more pleasant than the other one he had gotten first. In fact the one that he had first gotten did not have an aroma towards it, it was look dark red and quiet thick for a wine. However, Ikuto didn't question it and just took it.
"Ikuto!" A high pitch voice called out towards him, Ikuto turned his head to see who it was only to fine that it was his sister with her beloved right along beside her.
"Utau, Souma," Ikuto's expression quickly changed from flustered to compose. "Hey what happen?" Both Utau and Kukai looked and saw that Ikuto was with Amu and Naomi and also notice that Amu was handing him a glass. The blonde's breath slightly hitched as her eyes tried to make eye contact with the Alpha she-wolf only to quickly shift them look pass over her shoulder. However, the human female did not fail to notice to see that her brother had taken the wine glass from the pinkette.
"I take it that you are done with your greetings if you are coming over her Kukai." Amu broke the silence, breaking Utau's train of thought.
"Ah…Yeah somewhat." Utau made her way over towards his brother and slowly pulled him away from her boss and her boyfriend.
"What were you doing talking to Ms. Hinamori before we got here?" Utau asked trying to see if he would say something about the wine.
"Nothing, really why do you ask?"
"Well, I would assume since she was handing you a wine glass." Ikuto scoffed at his sister's comment.
"That, she was just giving me another wine glass because she took the first one I had gotten before I walked over towards her."
"Did you drink from the first one?" Utau swiftly asked.
"No, I didn't get a chance to before she took it from me without warning." When hearing her brother speaking those words she gave out a sigh of relief as she nodded her head and walked back towards where the rest were with Ikuto right by her side.
"That seems rather interesting, and what will this foundation be going to?" Amu asked the brunette.
"We were going to leave that to your choice." Amu let out a soft sigh as she took a sip of her wine.
"Very were, I will let you know on my decision by tomorrow afternoon. I will have to go over the details with my workers. Who will be sponsoring the show?"
"Lord Kanada, President of Kanada Bank, Lady Ashida, Founder of the Roselette Academy, Duke Howard, Mr. Yanagi President of Season's Resort…" Amu raised an eye brow know that those where all of them. She knew for a fact that he was part of the sponsors that's a no brainer however, that fade into his sentence had her on edge.
"Who else?" She asked Kukai simply tried to avoid any other eye contact with her. "Kukai please do not try my patience not in a public place like this." Kukai swallowed hard as he turn to face her eyes stare over her shoulder.
"Sire Isuka Senatami…"
"Will he be attending the show?"
"I not sure, It would depend on what his schedule. Thought I'm sure that he would try to make it just to see her." Amu pitched the bridge of her nose as she shook her head.
"This is ridiculous Not only do I have to worry about this asshole who might come to the show but I have the other dumbass at home to worry about."
"Wait Clayton Smith is here in Japan?" Utau was the one to speak out this time, understanding everything that the two supernatural's where talking about. Ikuto felt out of place not knowing what the three were talking about, then he noticed that Naomi was standing on the sidelines as well.
Does she not know what they are talking about as well? Ikuto thought. "Yes, he is currently staying at our house unfortunately." Naomi answered. Scratch that she knows too, argh!
"Enough!" Amu said in a calm but strong voice, making the people around her shut their mouths as her power washed over them. "This isn't the place nor time for us to be speaking of this. We'll set up a time and place for this at a different day." Both Kukai and Utau nodded while Naomi simply stood quiet. Though, they were talking about a situation about their world they were mindful on the words they were speaking since they were in a presence of a human that knew nothing about their world.
"Yes, and I would like to be present during this meeting if you would not mind Amu." The pinkette's eyes took a sharp turn towards where the voice came from.
"Just why would you like to be present Mr. Tsukiyomi. You don't know the meaning to our meeting let alone the subject of it. I see no reason as to why you should attend."
"If it does not concern me then I don't see how it would concern my sister as well. I say that if my sister will be attending then I should be attending as well. If you want another reason well then I could use this meeting as part of your interview." Amu gave Ikuto a sharp glare, Ikuto returning the gestured towards her slightly surprising the three that were surrounding them.
"Are you willing to give up your life if you were to learn of the information?" Ikuto's eyes widen.
"WH-what?"
"Exactly what I said," Amu turn to fully face the bluenette. "Are you willing to give up your life if you were to learn of the information?" Ikuto was shocked at what Amu was asking him. Was the information that they were keeping from him that important that it would cost him his own life?
"Ikuto I-" Utau tried to talk to her brother but was quickly cut off from the sharp glare that the Alpha female directed towards the blond.
"What if I said I would be willing to give up my life for it?" Amu fixed her stare back at the bluenette her eyes keeping its sharpness.
"Then you are as foolish as your sister," Upon hearing her words Ikuto was more confused as to what she was talking about. "I suggest you change your answer before you truly regret it." Amu turned her body into a profile stance to face Kukai and Utau.
"I will send you both a message on the details of the meeting," The couple nodded their heads as Amu turn to leave with Naomi right at her heels.
"Wait!" Amu did not stop she continued on walking towards the grand doors of the ballroom. Ikuto chased after them weaving through the crowd of people with Utau's voice in the background trying to stop her brother from following the Alpha she-wolf and her Gamma. However, Ikuto didn't listen he continued on and following Amu until he reached her. She meters away from her car, Naomi was just climbing into the car.
"Amu!" Ikuto yelled out her name stopping Amu from climbing into the car though she did not turn her body around she waited for Ikuto to continue. "Please allow me to attend this meeting. Let me learn more about you and your life." Silence fell between the two.
"Mr. Tsukiyomi, there is a reason as to why you know nothing of the world I live in. You have your parents to thank for that; a person like you, should not get involve with people like me. Especially Kukai's kind." Amu slowly tilted her body so that her face was slightly angled for her to see Ikuto. "Our contact stops here, I will continue on with the article however, you will be sending all of your questions via email. As for photos, I'm sure you can make do with what you have already taken. Goodbye Tsukiyomi Ikuto."

-Ring-Ring-Ring-Ring-
The phone continued on ringing for the past twenty minutes. "What do we do, only the one in command can go in to the Alpha's study." One of the wolves said to their pack mates.
"Where's Nadeshiko?" One of the females asked.
"She said she was going for a run." Yoru responded.
"Damn we haven't yet established the rest of our ranking after Nade." The small group of wolves discussed among themselves while standing in front of their Alpha's study trying to decide what to do. However, before they could reach a conclusion a voice interrupted them.
"Aren't any of you pups going to answer the phone?" Their bodies stiffen upon hearing the deep strong voice the spoke out from behind them. Slowly they turned their heads over their shoulders to see if they were not only hearing their but unfortunately that was not the case.
"We can't…" Iru said bluntly, the man raised an eyebrow as he walked further in –walking past the young wolves- until he was standing in front of the pups.
"And why not?" He asked them.
"We're not allowed into our Alpha's study, only our Beta, or Gamma can." Miki explained.
"And since our Beta is out of the country and our Gamma with our Alpha. We cannot answer the phone." Slightly irritated at the responses he was getting from the young wolves the Alpha male turn towards the door of the study room and yanked it open –hearing the ringing of the phone much more clearly than before. He went straight for the phone and he held no hesitation as he picked up the phone and answered.
"Hello…" Silence was all that greeted the American Alpha's ears.
"Hello," he tried again. "Who is this?" At his last question their heard someone breath hitched but soon cleared their throat on the other line. Soon his ears were welcomed with a loud cheerful and yet children voice.
"Hi! My name is Yuuki Yaya. Yaya was wondering if Amu was there." The girl asked. Clayton cringed at the high pitch voice of the girl on the other side of the phone receiver.
"No, currently Amu id out for the night I suggest you call her tomorrow morning." Without reluctance the girl responded to the American Alpha.
"Mou~ alright, thank you Mister. Have a wonderful night." Not even giving the poor American Alpha a chance to reply the line went dead leaving Clayton slightly dumbfounded.
"Ah um, who was it Alpha?" Suu asked breaking him out of his dumbfounded trace. Clayton looked over his shoulder and saw the she-wolf that had welcomed him and his two wolves with a warm smile.
"A girl named Yuuki Yaya," He placed the phone back to its rightful place. "She was looking for Amu." When hearing the name of the caller the young wolves all looked at each other in confusion, however quickly looked away when they sense that the American Alpha turn to look at them over his shoulder.
"Do you know this girl?" He asked them.
"Oh, yes! She is one of our Alpha's employee's that works really close with her."
"Hm…from what I'm been told Amu only has Human workers," Clayton said as he ran his hand over his hair. "So…why is it that she is calling her so late at night?" Suu blinked a few times trying to keep her composure as she then flash the American Alpha a soft smile.
"Well with projects coming close to their deadlines majority of the time our Alpha's workers tend to call her at hours such as these to check to see if they get her approval on what it is they were assigned to." Clayton took in all of Suu's words as he nodded his head understanding.
"Very well I'll returned to my room now. Do inform your Alpha of the call." With that the male left the room leaving the young wolves in the room. They waited a good while until they were sure that the American Alpha was gone. They all scurried to the phone and looked at the collar ID to find out that it was withheld meaning only one thing to them.
"It must have been…" There words faded as they feared that they would be heard by the male Alpha that had just left.
"We should inform the Alpha about it when she returns." Ran said.
"Well no shit sweetheart we still would have had to tell the Alpha about the phone anyway." Iru said as she rolled her eyes and crossed her arms across her chest. Ran glared at her while everyone else sighed and shook their head as they filed out of the room. Just as the last one closed the door to the study they heard the front door being open; out of habit the group lifted their nose in the air to get the scent of whoever came into their house. If the young group would have been in their wolf skin their ears then would have perked up and their tails would be tagging with excitement. Quickly they make their way towards the entrance; just as they were reaching the front door of the house they come to see Naomi just closing the door while Amu was taking off her coat.
"Welcome home, Alpha, Gamma." Amu looked up to see her pack greeting them with smiles. The pinkette gave them a gentle smile.
"I'm glad to be back," the she-wolf looked around the room to see that just a few of her wolves were present. "Did anything happen while we were away?" Without hesitation they all nodded the pinkette waited to hear what had happened but no one talked. Finally getting the point Amu gestured towards her study. They all filled out of the entrance and walked towards the room. Once everyone was in and seated –minus Amu- with the door looked they begun.
"Alright, explain." Was all Amu said.
"You got a call, but it was coming from your study so we couldn't go in without your saying. So we did not enter however, the American Alpha took it upon himself to enter an answer the phone." Amu raised an eyebrow at Iru's words.
"Oh…do you at least know who it was that was calling?"
"We believe it was our Beta." Ran answered.
"You believe it was our Beta?" Amu asked only to gain assuring nods from her wolves.
"Yes, because she used Yuuki Yaya's name as her alias when Clayton Smith answered the phone." Yoru answered this time.
"Plus the caller actually hesitated when she first heard his voice making him ask who it was twice." Kiseki added. Amu remained silent as she listened to every word of her wolves finally as some time went by Amu gave out a sigh as she sluggishly crossed her arms across her chest.
"Very well I'll deal with Angel when she calls again as for Clayton I'll deal with him tomorrow," The pink-headed Alpha pinched the bridge of her nose as she let out another sigh. "Musashi please go and inform that brunt of a freeloader Alpha that I'm come back from my outing." Musashi nodded his headed as he stood up and left the room not before he gave a slight bow towards his Alpha. Amu then proceeded with dismissing everyone else to their rooms for the night. One by one they each walked out of the room, Naomi being the last one.
"Please do get some rest Alpha you have a long day later in the day." Amu did not even utter a words towards her Gamma, as she only nodded her head to acknowledge her Gamma's words. When pinkette finally hear the 'click' of the door closing she let out a heavy sigh that she had been hold in since she had departed from the ball. If it were not for the fact that she knew her hair was styled up she would have -by the time her wolves' left- ran her hand through her hair in frustration. Everything that had happened that night was running through Amu's mind; softly she started to shake her head and laugh bitterly.
"To think that things would have actually ended much more sooner then what I had actually intended them to," Amu muttered to no one but herself as she let out another sigh. "But…I suppose that this is for the best. At least one Tsukiyomi should live a normal life like every human.
-Ring-Ring-Ring-Ring-
Amu looked over towards her phone that laid against her desk…only to see that it wasn't actually ringing. The pink-headed she-wolf raised an eyebrow.
-Ring-Ring-Ring-Ring-
The phone continued on to ring but she was not sure where it was coming from. She focused her ears onto the ringing as she looked around her room to see if she can spot it with her eyes.
-Ring-Ring-Ring-Ring-
Finally she pin pointed the ringing, it was coming from her purse that she had taken with her to the ball. She gracefully plucked out her phone and quickly answered the phone without even bothering to check who it was.
"Hello, Hinamori speaking."
"Hinamori…"
"Did I forget something at the ball Kukai that you're calling me?" The she-wolf could hear her blood-sucking friend let out a frustrated sigh and imagined that he was also shaking his head as well.
"As a matter of fact you did, your sanity, you moron." Amu's right eye twitched from the petite insult. "What were you thinking asking him something like that? Not only is that but Utau freaking out wondering what's going to happen to her brother now."
"Then tell me Kukai how would you have handle the situation? Certainly much better than me if you are barking at me of my methods." Silence was the only thing Amu was hearing from the other side of the phone. "That's exactly what I thought, you don't know do you. Of course you don't since he is the older brother of the woman you love how can you do something to the last living blood-relative of your lover?"
"Fine, fine I get it," Kukai finally caved in as he let out another frustrated sigh. "So what now? What will you do about Tsukiyomi Ikuto?"
"If you're asking me if I am going to wipe him off the face of the world, than no. I am not that heartless you ass."
"Well that's good news to hear that you actually have a heart." Amu scoffed
"Your one to talk blood-sucker. You literally have no heart beating under that cold skin of your." Kukai chuckled at the snarky remark.
"No but all bullshit aside Amu, what are you going to do to with Ikuto?" Kukai asked without playfulness leaving his voice.
"I'm going to have Tsukasa deal with it. Have him erase all his memories of me and of the events that had happened before his first encounter with me."
"But…" Amu tilted her head in confusion at what Kukai was trying to get at.
"But what?"
"What if he would actually be would be willing to give up my life to be a part of our world?"
Le Désir d'un Loup
12:59 a.m
"Ikuto! Wait!" Utau called to her brother who was just standing outside beyond the glass doors of the grand hotel that was holding the grand ball for the supernatural's. "Just what are you doing? Why are you so obsess with knowing what we know?" Utau asked her older brother trying to figure out just what was going through his mind. However, she only got the silence that the night streets brought.
"Ikuto!"
"I don't know!" Ikuto lashed out as he finally turn to face his little sister. "I just don't know…I just have this urge of needing to know just what you are all talking about." Utau just stood there listening to her brothers words knowing exactly what he was meaning.
"Ikuto…I know what you mean?" The bluenette racked his hand through his hair in frustration.
"No, no you don't."
"Yes, I do." Ikuto snorted as he shook his head.
"I highly doubt it." Utau glared at her brother as he last bit of patience was thrown out the window.
"Dammit Ikuto yes I do!" Utau said as she grabbed hold of the bluenette's arm. "I was going through the same this when I first met both Amu and Kukai. The only thing that's different this time is that Amu gave you a choice, I didn't really have one." Ikuto raised an eyebrow in slight confusion.
"What do you mean?" Utau gave out a sigh as she shook her head.
"Look Ikuto, I'm not telling you to not do it but if you can avoid it then that would be best." Utau wrapped her arms around herself as she sadly looked up at her older brother. "Just thinking about it some more okay before you go and see Amu again because knowing you, you would have gone and see her right about now. Just let me tell you this…This world that I am now living with is dangerous." The blonde left her brother with those words as she walked back towards the grand ballroom leaving Ikuto sink in the words that his sister had just told him. Without realizing it, Ikuto started to walk towards his car and drive with no destination. His thoughts were going a mile a minute as he just kept driving not really know where his body was taking him. Seconds turn to minutes, minutes turn to hours until finally the car came into a stop. Ikuto looked at his surroundings and saw that he was at Night Haven.
"Shit." Was all he muttered to himself as he notice that he just drove to the last place he need to be right at that moment. The bluenette was just about to start his engine again to return back on the road and head home when he notice something from the corner of his eyes. He turns to see what had caught his eyes to see that it was Amu just emerging from the forest –bare and covered in blood. His eyes widen as he quickly climbed out of his car and ran towards her it took him minutes before he finally reached her. He didn't think twice as he reached out towards her and pulled her towards him taking her by surprise; which cause her senses to kick in as he took on a defense position and knocked out his air and threw him down to the ground. She held her right arm above him with her claws lengthen out –her eyes were glowing a golden amber with her canines lengthen as well. However, just as she was about to grab his neck the bluenette's scent hit her nose bring her mind to see what was in front of her. Her eyes widen to see the bluenette beneath her, like a thunder bold she quickly peeled herself away from the shocked bluenette.
"What are you doing here?" She asked not caring that she was standing bare and covered in blood in front of him. It seemed so normal to her because she was in her own territory.
"I don't know…I was just driving and then I notice I was here." Ikuto said as he slowly picked himself up never braking his eyes contact with the pink-headed she-wolf. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He asked with his words laced in worry. Amu tilted her head in confusion not knowing what he was talking about until she felt a soft cool wind crease her body like a lover.
"Of course I'm okay why would I not be."
"Well your covered in blood and well…unclothed…" Ikuto said the last word shyly as he turned his head off to the side to avoid in looking at her. Amu looked down at herself and finally noticed her appearance, mentally sighing Amu just shook her head knowing there was nothing she could do about the situation now.
"This is not my blood…" Ikuto's expression changed from worry towards slightly scared. Amu rolled her eyes as she figured what Ikuto was thinking. "It's not human blood either you moron I'm not that inhuman…" Amu said as she turned on her heels and started towards her house. Without a word Ikuto followed the pinkette towards her house as well. It took them about a minute or so until they reached the house Amu had prepared a bathrobe for herself by the door so once stepping foot into the house she quickly placed it on. Neither of them talked as they just walked into the house and made their way towards the living room. Ikuto took a seat on one of the couches whereas Amu took a seat on the arm chair that was close by the fireplace. With a better lighting Ikuto took in Amu's appearance even more and noticed that the blood was not only fresh but it was practically covering her month and the tip of her nose.
"Do ignore my appearance, Mr. Tsukiyomi." Amu said breaking him out of his thoughts. "If you have nothing to talk to me about then do please take your leave so that I can go about my night and take a bath to wash out this blood." Amu said as she licked her lips wiping some of the blood off.
"Um…r-right…" Ikuto said as he shifted his gaze away from the pinkette. However, Ikuto didn't utter a word he kept quite questions running through his head a mile per second. Amu noticing simply just gave out a sigh as she crossed her legs and relaxed against the chair.
"Its deer blood," was all she said bringing the bluenette's attention back towards her. "Anymore question get them out before I ask you to take your leave." Ikuto bit the inside of his cheek as he dared himself to ask.
"Why are you covered in deer blood?" Amu brought her stained covered hand up to her face as she sniffed it as lightly licked it.
"Depends…" Ikuto rose and eyebrow.
"Depends on what?" Amu rested her hand right on top of her knee as she looked straight into Ikuto's Indigo blue eyes.
"On whether you really want to put your life on the line Mr. Tsukiyomi," Amu's eyes were solely focus on the bluenette's while he was in trance with hers. "If you're here and asking me these questions than you have decided to give up on your life." Slightly taken aback from Amu's words Ikuto thought over her world and without hesitation he returned her stare with an unshakeable confidence.
"…Yes…"
"Then you are a moron, Tsukiyomi Ikuto, son of Aruto and Souko Tsukiyomi and older brother of Tsukiyomi Utau." Both Amu and Ikuto turned their gazed over towards where the voice had come from to see Silver Sakura standing at the doorway.
"Silver I see you're still awake." Amu said.
"I was woken up by the strange scent that entered the house." Silver said as she gave a slightly bow towards the pinkette but her gaze then flickered towards Ikuto. "I would have never thought it would be the scent of the child of Aruto and Souko."
"You knew my parents?" Ikuto asked.
"Of course who didn't know the Tsukiyomi duet? They were the best Hunters of our race." Silver said as she recalled the time they were still with them. While Ikuto only became confused at Silver's words.
"Your race? Do you mean the human race?" Silver quickly turn and gave him a face that pretty much asked if he was stupid.
"Silver…that is enough…" Amu calmly said as she gave a stern stare at the she-wolf. Silver quickly focused her eyes on the ground as if they were the most interesting thing in that instant. "I suggest you return back to your room to continue your sleep."
"Yes of course, アルファ(Alpha)." Without a second thought Silver had left leaving both Amu and Ikuto alone once again.
"What did she mean by my parents being great hunters? And why did she call you Alpha?" All Amu did was pinch the bridge of her nose as she shook her head letting out a heavy sigh.
"Are you sure you want to know the answers to your questions Mr. Tsukiyomi." Amu asked.
"Yes…I want to know." Ikuto said with determination.
"Then you have sign your life away to my world."
Le Désir d'un Loup
1:06 a.m.
"Beta, truly you are going to make a hole in my living room if you continue to pace like that." Tsukasa said in a soft gentle tone as he took a sip of his earl gray tea.
"Argh, can you blame me." The she-wolf said as she finally dropped her body onto the soft arm chair. "Not only did I have to talk like that childish human brat Yaya I had to talk to him."
"Why are you avoiding them Beta?" Angel looked over towards Tsukasa to see him relaxing against his chair with his eyes closed.
"What do you mean why?"
"Yes, why? I know it's not because you hate them you still care for them. However, it seems that your heart is torn in two for that very reason." Angel listened to Tsukasa's words carefully.
"And for what reason would that be?" She asked even though she didn't want to hear the answer to it.
"You still love them and from what the stars tell me. It seems you are in love with one of the males more than the other one." Tsukasa said with a smile. "Now, figuring out which one would be up to you my dear."
"Jeez, no pressure huh…" Angel said while she rolled her eyes while Tsukasa gave out a gentle chuckle. Angel stared at the ground as she thought over Tsukasa's words. "But…" The word slipped out of her lips grabbing the male's attention.
"How will I know…how will I know who that person is?" Tsukasa looked over towards the she-wolf.
"Hm…did your parents ever told you the story on how they met?" He asked, to have Angel nodded her head. "Alright and how did they know?" He asked her once again. Angel thought it over for a while.
"They…just knew deep in their hearts that they were meant for each other. As if the missing piece of their souls were finally connected and complete. Just by looking into each other's eyes." Tsukasa nodded.
"Exactly that is how your paths were carved out and how the fates sealed it with them bonding to one another," Tsukasa said as he set for his tea onto the stand next to him. "Such as all the other mated wolves in your pack and in the other packs. I'm sure the Great Luna has many things in store for you and your pack."
Le Désir d'un Loup
"Tell me Ikuto…do you believe in supernatural races?" The pinkette asked as she licked her lips to savor the dry blood that stained her lush's lips. Ikuto turn his gaze back at Amu and straight into her eyes but when his eyes landed on hers he was taken aback to see that they were glowing a bright golden brown. He shivered in sheer delight and fear as he notice that he indeed just signed his life over to the pinkette's world.
"You mean like Vampires, Werewolves and other creatures that go bump in the night?" Ikuto answered in a question form not quite sure where this was going but he had a feeling.
"The proper term is Lycan. However, you get the jests of the whole thing."
"Well…not really? It's not like they really exist right."
"Then do you wish to explain why I'm covered in blood and could have cared less that you saw me bare. If it were any other woman and or girl they would have scream bloody murdered and try to shield their body." Ikuto's eyes widen and how she was right. But how can he just accept that all these creature can actually live in a world with humans like him. "If you do not believe me then I can show you that we are indeed really." Amu said as she stood up from her seat and started to walk slowly towards Ikuto with a grin sketching into her lips slightly flashing her pearly white teeth. However, Ikuto caught something…he did a double take on her teeth and saw that he was not imaging things; her once perfectly straight teeth now had fangs. Amu was now a step away from Ikuto, she slowly bend down to his eye level and tenderly reached out to touch his face with her blood stained hand, which now her claws had phased out. Ikuto slightly backed away and yet he had the urging feeling to draw closer to the pinkette. Amu's clawed fingers laced through Ikuto's midnight blue hair as she brought her lips towards his neck.
"You wouldn't mind me having a little drink now would you~?" Amu asked in a seductive voice only causing Ikuto to shiver. Ikuto didn't reply to Amu's question as he simply closed his eyes and bared his neck towards her. That only made her wolf more excited to the thriller that was happening in front of them; the pinkette's eyes were glowing even brighter than they were before. Amu opened her mouth wide allowing her hot breath to brush against his prays smooth skin. Slowly as she inched her face closer with her fangs bare; just as she was about to bite down on his neck she suddenly stopped. Seconds pass when finally she just lightly licked up his neck making his shiver in fear yet in delight. Amu pulled away and gave out a soft chuckle. "Did you really think I was going to suck your blood?" Ikuto's eyes shot open when he heard Amu's words he turn to look up at the pinkette to see her smirking.
"But…aren't you a vampire," Ikuto stated which only made Amu roll her eyes as she slowly peeled herself away from the bluenette.
"I'm not a bloodsucker…If you want one then go to Kukai. I'm sure he has a female vampire friend that would love to suck you dry." Amu ran her hand through her hair as she allowed her words to fall from her lips.
"If you're not a vampire then what are you?" Amu gave Ikuto a look as she raised her eyebrow.
"What else has fangs and claw you moron." The pinkette said as she made her way back to her chair and plopped down with a huff.
"A werewolf…?" Amu right eye twitched ever so faintly.
"The correct term is Lycan," Amu crossed her legs and arms. "But, yes I am a "Werewolf"." Ikuto was in a state of shock he didn't know how he should react; with joy, fear, excitement, relief?
Seconds passes that soon turned into minutes – 10 minutes, 15, 20…The silence continued and Amu could not bear it any longer so the pinkette let out a rather loud sigh which gained back Ikuto's attention back to her. "I believe that is enough for tonight, you've not only taken in so much but it is late for a human such as yourself to be awake at this time." Ikuto glance over towards the small clock that was on top of the fire place and saw that it was showing -2:03-. Amu stood up from her chair gracefully and walked towards the living room doorway. Ikuto did the same but just as he was about to make his place right next to her he notices that there were two others standing at her side already. "I'll have my wolf's escort you back to your home." Ikuto looked at the people that were standing next to the pinkette and noticed that he had met them before at a glance.
"It's alright I brought my car. I can drive home." Amu shook her head.
"No I have a feeling that if you were to drive home, you would over thinking on our conversation. Kiseki will be driving your car while Daichi will be following behind so Kiseki can come back home." Ikuto couldn't argue with her because he knew she was right so he just accepted her offer. The male wolf's made their way towards the door with Ikuto right on their heels however, just before he stepped a foot out the door of the pink-headed Alpha's house, he turned around to face her.
"I'll see you…"
"We'll see in time…" Amu left him with those words as she ascended the stairs to head towards her room.
Le Désir d'un Loup
"ARGH!"
A wooden crate broke without effort as a body laid upon the broken wood. The place that was once surrounded but noise and arguments was not only filled with silence. All eyes were turned towards where the body laid and to the person who had thrown the body. "Oh so now you all decided to shut the fuck up." Said a female as she gave out a frustrated huff out and running her hand through her hair.
"I'm now your leader," the female said as she looked everyone in the eyes. "I've killed this fucken idiot who allowed you to do what you want. However, that all ends now." Her voice was strong and her eyes gave them a challenging look as she walked over towards the limp body that was surrounded by the broken wood. She bend down and grabbed the head carefully cradling it in her hand before she place her left foot onto his chest and easily ripped off his head. She then took out something out of her pockets –a lighter. Sparking it to get the flame to emerge from the gasoline inside the little bottle; she then brought the flame over towards the hair. Soon the head was set on fire; she tossed it onto the body to have it as so that it would also catch on fire.
"My, my are we having a little bit too much fun here." Everyone's head turned towards where the voice came from to find a blonde man and a red headed woman standing next to each other. "Ella."
"Yes a little too much fun." Said a female voice as she walked from behind the blonde man and red-head.
"And who the hell are you?" The young female –Ella- asked the female that had stepped forward. The female just simply gave her a smile, which only felt insulting to Ella but for those who knew the smiling female, it meant something entirely different. Within seconds Ella was in the hands of the female.
"I'm Yumiko Senatami; your master." Yumiko's hand tighten around Ella's throat as she lifted her up off the ground. "Your quiet the strong one from the 287 newborn's I've sent to collect." Yumiko released Ella from her clutches allowing her to drop to the ground.
"Well it would have been 288, but you decided to kill one of them. Nevertheless one will not make a difference we have plenty." Silence soon followed after Yumiko's words. "Well then, as I have said my name is Yumiko Senatami. I'm sure you all know Tadase and Saaya I've sent for them to collect you all."
"To do what let us all die from hunger." Ella said as she spitted out the words from where she sat –on the ground. Yumiko shifted her eyes towards the female and gave her a gentle smile slowly making her way towards the female. The next thing everyone knew Ella was on the other side of the big warehouse peeling off of the wall and dropping to the ground once more; Yumiko had sent her flying with her kick.
"Any more questions?" She asked but none made a move to say anything. "Good. You will all get your share of food but for now you will listen to what I have to say or you will not only end up like Ella over there but like that pile of dust Ella created." Everyone nodded without hesitation not wanting the same fate.
"Great, now let us get down to business."
