YAY NEW CHAPTER! AND IT"S NOT LATE! WHOO HOO! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Chapter 3

Ritsu couldn't help but stare at the man currently towering over him. His green eyes where fixed with pure disbelief on the man's 'extra appendages that he completely missed the man's question. Even after he repeated it. "Do you live here?"

Instead Ritsu answered with, "You have dog ears... and a tail."

The man sighed. It was obvious they where getting no where with this. Closing his eyes and concentrating a bit the dog ears slowly melted into his hair and the long fluffy tail simply disappeared. "There is that better?"

Blinking Ritsu rubbed his eyes and stared at the now normal looking man. 'How'd he do that?'

"Now if you don't mind answering the quest-" the man began, but somewhere between opening his mouth and now, Ritsu remembered the state of the house. The switch in attitude was instantaneous.

"You're not supposed to be here!" Ristu yelled jumping to his feet, his stupor forgotten. "What are you doing here? Have you come to destroy what little remains of my grandmothers things!"

The man blinked in surprise. "Destroy your-? I've done no such thing!"

"Then what do you want? Money? I assure you what ever was valuable in this house is gone or smashed to pieces!" Ritsu yelled his tears catching up with him, "All you jerks are all the same! Can't even let an old woman who owed you nothing leave her house behind in tact. I hate you! I HATE YOU!"

Takano remained silent as the human once again surrendered to his tears. For a moment he remained silent, unsure what to do. He wasn't used to dealing with emotional humans. Usually he'd just leave them be, especially after a declaration of hate, but this human was different. This human was familiar. Takano couldn't place where he'd seen him but he knew he had seen those green eye's before.

Crossing the room, Takano bent down and lifted the humans chin. The human didn't open his eyes but Takano knew he was listening, so in a gentle voice he said, "I assure you I am not after valuables, nor am I here to destroy what little remains of your grandmothers home." The human opened his eyes and Takano was instantly captivated by the green eyes. He had seen this human before but where? An image of a green eyed boy crossed his mind and Takano's golden brown eyes narrowed. 'It couldn't be!'

Ritsu's heart was beating faster at the man's closeness. He could feel the heat of the mans breath as it fanned across his lips. The mans touch on his chin felt like fire on his skin. Being so close he could see the strange shape of the mans pupil made. Who was this man? Where did Ritsu know him from?

888

Takano caught the scent of a sweet smell, one he recognized instantly. 'It's true it is "Ritsu."' The human's eye's widened.

888

"H-How do you know my name?" Ritsu asked his green eyes wide, 'Could we have met before? But where? Who is this guy?' Before Ritsu could react he felt strong arms in circle him. 'W-what the?' It was then that Ritsu noticed another problem...he was touching the man's bare back...as in the man had no shirt on...and by the feel of it no...

888

Takano was so wrapped up in the scent and feel of Ritsu that he was rather surprised when he was forcefully shoved away by a very flustered human. Confusion was his first reaction but that quickly turned to Anger. "What the hell was that?"

"You- Your naked!" Takano blinked then looked down at himself.

"So?" He replied indifferently shrugging.

"GO GET DRESSED!" Ritsu yelled his blush causing Takano to smirk.

"But i don't have anything to wear." He replied shrugging.

"Find something!" Ritsu yelled, and Takano shrugged turning around and entering the bedroom again, but just as he was about to disappear he turned back a smirk on his face, "You haven't changed at all."

888

Ritsu's eye's widened at the man's last words, 'so we have met, but where?'

Turning away from the man Ritsu's eyes scanned the destroyed room. He needed to get a fire going before it got too dark. looking around he noticed a small pile of firewood. Taking a few logs he hunted down a pack of matches that he had hidden when he was little and smiled as he got a steady fire going. It was about this time when the man reappeared wearing a pair of his grandfathers old hakuma pants, and a slightly torn haori.

"Does this appease you Ritsu-chan?" he asked sarcastically. Ritsu eyed him wearily, noting the tight fit. The strange familiar man crossed over to the Onodera heir and sat beside him.

"Don't call me '-chan'!" Ritsu barked glaring at the man, "And how do you know me? Who are you?"

A frown appeared on the man's face, "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at you not recognizing me. Perhaps this will jog your memory." Ritsu was about to ask what he meant, when suddenly he felt soft warm lips on his and a hand on the back of his head. At first he was shocked, practically melting right into the searing kiss, but as the man's other hand slipped under his shirt and brushed against his bare stomach, he relized what was happening and came to his senses. He began to protest, pushing away from the man despite the fire he felt from the kiss. Unfortunately he wasn't strong enough to get the strange man off of him.

Thinking fast the onodera heir did the first thing he could think of...bite.

The man pulled away his eye's wide, "Did you just bite me?"

"Y-yes! Who are you?" Ritsu yelled his blush a cherry red, "And what makes you think you can just kiss me like that!"

Brown eyes widened, before a wolfish smirk reappeared on the man's face. "My name is Takano Masamune, and I can kiss you like this, because you Onodera Ritsu, are my mate." With that the "human" looking man transformed slowly, into a giant wolf. "And I will not let you escape me a second time!"
