Chapter Eighteen

A Much Needed Break

They had returned to Namimori for less than a week and shit was already happening. Things that Reborn wasn't liking and that had him on edge.

Bodies were being found around the little town. Four in total so far.

All were twisted and burnt to inability of identifications.

They had only been back four days and the murders had just started after. It was a mystery and Reborn's instincts were telling him that things were going to get complicated and it would center around Tsuna.

Of course, it would center all around Tsuna, because when was the shit that happened wasn't centered around his mate.

He growled low in his throat, a sensation he was still getting used to and working on getting control of. He hadn't realized what it would mean to be a werewolf until he was forced into it to actually save his life. Though he's greatly thankful to continue his life with his student in the end, but he hates what it cost him in the end.

Control.

He had always been in control of himself and all of his bodily functions at all times of the day.

Since turning into a werewolf, he has come to realize the loss of control he has had. There are new instincts that eat at his consciousness when he isn't following them, that make him want to growl at anyone that touches what is his, and the newest urge he's had since wakening.

Which is to rub and mark and lick and just make sure that his scent is all over Dame-Tsuna. He had known about his feelings for the teen for a long while and had no compunctions about acting on those feelings once he was back in his right mind.

Now those feelings were intensified by ten and then by a thousand.

He shook his head as he fought to bring himself back to the matter at hand. "There's something about this that's familiar." He grumbled as he looked down at the body that Collonello had found early that morning.

"Can you tell what?" Lal asked as she toed the corpse with a frown on her face.

"Use those cool new werewolf senses of yours and tell us what's wrong, Kora." Collonello smirked at the hitman as he used a hand to run over what had to be a leg. "I do think they got a broken leg though; it's twisted pretty badly."

Reborn wrinkled his nose as he reached over and slammed a leg into the other's back, knocking him onto the body. "I've already done that idiot. I just can't tell what it is that's different. The smell of cooked meat is throwing me off."

"Even you seem to struggle at times then." Lal commented as she took in the figure in front of her. "I'm surprised you haven't already mastered all those senses. You're normally on top of any new style of fighting or type of weapon almost immediately."

"Training the body with weapons and fighting styles are different to training a sense you gained and affects your body." The hitman growled as Collonello got up and wiped off ash from his clothes. "It'll take time, time we just might not have if these deaths are leading the way I think it is." He took one more look at the twisted body in front of him.

The hands were reached out, as if trying to crawl away from something, fingers curled in a way that's like claws digging into the ground. The jaw gaping wide in a way that no normal human jaw should've been able to do. The body was stretched out, showing off the elongated chest in a sickening way while the legs were twisted and malformed in a strange way.

Maybe Collonello wasn't too far off about the broken legs.

But there was still something about it that was familiar to his senses but due to how new they were, he couldn't identify it.

He'd just have to continue to investigate and train to figure it out.

"Hey! Come on! Get a move on you wimp!" Sirius shouted down at the much taller male teen. "You'd think after all of that baseball training, you'd be able to keep up with an old man like me!"

Yamamoto huffed out a laugh as he looked at where the older man was a solid twenty yards ahead of him. "I haven't actually played baseball in a while. I've been more focused on training with my father, Squalo, and Reborn to improve on my fighting style." He explained as he stood up straight and stretched out, popping his back and neck, loosening muscles as he turned back to focus on the wizard. "Though, that hasn't really stopped me from improving."

Sirius howled in excitement as he watched the teen's speed increase dramatically and soon, he was running neck to neck with the teen. "You still alright with running across town and then back to that high school of yours?"

"Sounds like a good race." Yamamoto agreed as he upped his speed, passing the older many easily and swiftly.

"You've been holding back on me!" The marauder growled before suddenly a wolfish grin took over his features. "Then I better stop holding back as well!" He howled as his body transformed, ripping the clothes on his back as he turned into his wolf.

His feet and tail glowed a purple, highlighting the grey of his fur. 'Now to really see how far this new body of mine can go.' With that he leapt over the teen's head and took the lead once more.

"Oh! The race really is interesting now!" The teen laughed as he pushed himself further to try and catch up with the quickly disappearing werewolf.

"What do you think about this though?" Gokudera questioned from his place at the library, glasses on his face and hair pulled back into a ponytail. "If we potentially combined these two chemicals, we could create an explosion that wouldn't cause harm, but push people back and away."

"That's an interesting idea. I'm not as educated in muggle chemicals as I am in potions, but I'm sure I could help you figure this out." Remus supposed as he pulled the book towards him, glancing off to the side where he had opened other books that held similar information but with more details and background. "Maybe if we can combine both muggle and wizard ingredients, we could also create different type of bombs with different effects. Much like the muggle's tear gas and flash bombs I've seen on the telly."

"That's definitely an idea we need to think about." Gokudera agreed as he opened another book. "Think you could get a bunch of potion books and books on what ingredients do what?"

"Easily, it might take a few days though, so I should have time on catching up on the muggles more basic chemistry and science base technology." He decided on easily enough. Which was an easy decision to make since he now didn't have to worry about suffering from pain or self-poisoning from wolfsbane. Something he was so very thankful for.

It made life easier and made staying awake during the day much more possible. He smiled as Gokudera continued to excitedly talk about the muggle sciences and what exactly the elements were all and what they were made of.

"Hmm, so this is how the muggles do their Auror work." Tonks muttered as she followed Hibari around, watching him command his disciplinary group. "He's rather efficient for a young man his age."

"That's because he learned from his father, I'm afraid." Fon sighed as he watched Hibari order his men gather up a bunch of yakuza that had been distributing drugs within Namimori. It had apparently been noted when Hibari had left and taken advantage of to start up drug cartels once more. Though they had been stalled with the help of the Disciplinary Committee.

It had died the moment the head of the Committee had returned.

"Oh, his father must be very organized and efficient then. I know the Auror office back in Britain is nothing like this. We always took too long to deploy and too late when we finally got to any of the scenes. It drove me up the walls." She huffed as she took out a notebook and began to write down some notes. "Maybe some of the ways that Hibari does things could be used back in Britain. At least to make us more efficient in our ways."

"I really wouldn't copy him." The martial artist stated but already knew it wouldn't help as she wondered over to Kusakabe.

"You know, I've been holding out on you since we got back here." Harry said as he looked at the younger werewolf with a tilted head. He wore a white t-shirt with black jeans and a purple vest over his shirt.

"Hm, how do you mean?" Tsuna questioned next, back in his jeans a white t-shirt and baggy blue hoodie. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail to stay out of his face, showcasing the scar where his eye once rested but was now forever sealed shut. He's busy licking at an ice cream cone that Harry had bought him.

"Well…." Harry isn't sure how he wants to explain this, especially since Tsuna was at that age where the Birds and the Bees talk had already happened, but this was a whole different thing now. "You know in normal wolf packs, there's omegas, betas, and alphas, right?" He licked at his own chocolate ice cream cone before continuing. "Well, the same is true for werewolves, though ours is a little different. All three sub-genders can be any primary gender, so an alpha can be female and male, as well as Betas and omegas."

"Cool, so how do we know which one we are?" Tsuna looked at the wizard, waiting to see what he would say. He wasn't sure important this is at the moment, but he was sure it could come back and bite him in the ass later if he wasn't careful.

"Well, by scents. I already know I'm an Omega, as are you. Reborn is an Alpha, as is Sirius, while Remus is a Beta." He held his arm out towards the younger omega and allowed him to sniff, catching the sweetened scent. "We smell sweeter than the other two while Reborn and Sirius are muskier. Remus's scent is more mild and hardly noticeable."

He nodded his head at the other before shrugging his shoulders. "So why does this matter?"

"Because eventually you'll have a mate that'll sniff you out and claim you." Harry rolled his eyes at this as he remembered some of the werewolves that had come after him.

As far as he knew, no one had been able to collect all the ash after Xanxus was through with them.

"When that happens, they'll want to bite you here in the crook of your neck to lay a claim. Don't let anyone, Alpha or otherwise, mark you unless you are certain the mate is worthy of it."

Tsuna hummed and nodded his head in agreement as the two continued down the street in silence. "How long should I make Reborn wait?"

"Let him suffer a few months." Was the reply that left the two giggling. "Other than that, during the full moons, you'll feel a little more heated than normal. That's your wolf wanting to mate and be claimed. That's normal, but don't let it control you, you control it. This last one was too busy for you to notice, but I'm sure the upcoming full moon, you'll experience it fully."

"Will Reborn react in any way?" Tsuna adored the hitman, there was no denying it. He wasn't ready for the full experience with him though and would prefer to take it one step at a time. "He's an Alpha, so I'm sure he's supposed to do something, right?"

"He'll try and court you in ways that only wolves can." Harry agreed instantly. "He'll probably hunt for you and bring you pray and other gifts you might like. He might even spend the night cuddling with you if he's a good alpha. The best Alphas wait to mate you until you give them the ok. The ones you want to avoid are the ones that'll force it."

Tsuna could only hum at that as they continued down the road, thinking about it all. "Is there anything else I should know about being a werewolf?"

Not that he didn't like being able to transform and the advance senses that came with them. But he felt itchy when he was left around his house, his nose leaking and his eyes watering whenever he was there. Then there were certain places in town that caused the same affects as his house. He wasn't sure what it was, but it was almost like an allergic reaction to something. He wondered if there were plants he needed to avoid completely.

"Yes, there are, but most of them are just basics. Plants that you need to avoid, how to best control your emotions in high stress situations, controlling certain parts of the transformations, and a few other things. We'll go over them the next few days. I'll need your help to get Reborn in on these as I'm sure he'll try and fight me on teaching him as well." The Potter heir could only roll his eyes at the thought. He knew Reborn was probably trying to train his sense on his own but there was only so much the Hitman would be able to do without help.

Hopefully having Remus and Sirius help him out will cajole the Sun into training with them. Not to mention sicking Tsuna's puppy dog eyes on him as well.

"Alright, sounds like a plan." Tsuna agreed, praying that Harry's training was nothing like Reborn's. He didn't think he wanted to go through hell under this Omega.

"We have to move out soon." Squalo growled as he looked at the gathered figures of the Varia. "The Ninth has given us another mission so we need to take off soon. Those who are needed will leave immediately and the rest can either head back to the mansion or stay here in Japan."

"What's this mission then?" Mammon questioned as she looked over to where the shark had settled a folder on the coffee table between them all. Even with the most luxurious hotel in Namimori, they were still forced into somewhat close quarters and it was getting on all their nerves. Getting rid of some of them would be best at this point.

"The destruction of a drug cartel that's snuck into Vongola territory and are currently trying to open up a human trafficking ring as well. We are to destroy all the drugs, retrieve any weapons, as well as release of the human products they've already collected." The Vice captain explained cordially. "Since it's so simple, I figured we could just send some of us and if another mission pops up, the rest can take that one."

"Tch." Xanxus made it clear he wasn't going on this one. It was too boring to merit the use of the captain of the Varia. He'd leave it to the small fries to deal with.

"Yeah, yeah, shut it you piece of shit captain." Squalo sneered before turning back to the others. "Because of that, I've decided the ones to go will be Bel, Mammon, and I. Boss and the shitty Cloud will stay behind. We don't need massive property damage again. The Ninth is still harping at me from the last time."

"To be fair, I didn't cause that much damage." Harry grinned wolfishly from his place in his boss's lap. "That was all Xanxus and you Squalo. Don't even try and blame anyone else."

"SHUT IT YOU SHITTY WOLF!" The swords were out and he leapt to attack, only to grunt as a wine bottle slammed into his head and stopped him in his tracks.

"Get the fuck out, you have your mission." The leader growled as he watched the blood drip from his second's forehead. It was always amusing to see if the shitty Shark would be able to dodge the bottle or not. It was at 847 dodged to 1028 hit. "Shitty Lightning, return to the mansion and make sure none of the grunts have destroyed the place."

"Right away boss!" Levi was the first out of the room, eager to complete the mission and bring pride to his boss, while the others followed at their own pace.

"How much property damage do you think they'll cause this time around?" the werewolf picked at his nails as he watched the others leave.

"Old man's problem, not mine." He growled before wrapping the other tightly in his arms and crushing him to his chest. "My only problem is that I haven't had you service me since that fucking night at the damned castle."

Harry could only giggle as he felt the other begin to nuzzle against his neck, hands already unbuttoning his jeans and reaching in to grab a hold of him tightly. He groaned at the feeling of roughened hands on him. "Fuuuuck." He thrust up into the hand, ignoring how dry the hand felt against him.

"You're going to get on those knees and show me how exactly you're supposed to worship me." The growl reverberated through the smaller man's body and he swore that if he didn't know better, he'd thought the werewolf was the sky and not him.

He wasted not a moment and slide down off of the sky and onto the floor, where he settled in between those powerful thighs, hands massaging them as he got comfortable. He gulped as he moved forward, nuzzling the bulge that was already beginning to form against the zipper in front of him. "It really has been a while." He murmured before taking that zipper in his mouth and pulling it down. Then he went after the button, thankful that it was one of those pop ones that only took a little tugging to get undone.

"Fucking shitty magic people and fuckshits guardians always getting in the way." Xanxus agreed as he watched the other begin to pull down his underwear just so his cock could hand out and into the other's face. "Get to it you slut." He grinned down wolfishly at the other, eyes gleaming.

The werewolf wasted not a second as he dragged his tongue from the base and all the way to the tip, mouthing at the head while gently dragging his fangs over it. He ignored the hand on the back of his head, taking his time to mouth at the cock before slowly sinking his head.

It was a position he had been in more than once since meeting Xanxus, including that first meeting with the sky. Dropping to his knees was something of an instinct at this point, something he just did without thinking. Not that he had a problem with that, he loved having his sky inside of his mouth.

The taste was always divine to him. Musky with a taste that was all his boss. The salty bitter taste of precum came quickly as he began to bob his head, his tongue slithering around in a sweet twist that he knew that Xanxus adored. So he made sure to use tongue, scraping his fangs as much as he could, as well as swallowing as the thick member brushed the back of his throat.

"Fuck." Snarled Xanxus as he began to thrust forward, not holding back one bit, and Harry simply opened his mouth wider and allowed the other to control the pace now. He hummed as he felt those large hands wrap their fingers into his hair, pulling him harshly so that he met each thrust.

Thank the lord they had broken his gag reflex at the beginning of their relationship or this wouldn't be possible.

"Swallow it all bitch, don't waste a fucking drop." Was hissed and the Cloud didn't waste a second as the cock was jammed down his throat and throbbed.

He could feel the cum slid down his throat and copious amounts filled his mouth, but he didn't waste a damned drop. Licking along the member as it was pulled out of his mouth slowly, cleaning it along the way so that not a drop would be wasted and he wouldn't be punished with wasting the liquid. Not that he would hate the punishment but he hated wasting any type of meal.

He licked his lips once more, his hand reaching up to wrap around the base of the semi-hard cock, lashes fluttering as he looked up at his Sky. "Wanna move this to the bed?"

"You know, you should probably start courting him soon." Colonello said from his place off to the side, watching as Tsuna, Gokudera, Takeshi, and Ryohei all ran away from a furious Hibari. Reborn had set it up so that the four of them had woken the Cloud, so to force them into a match or into an endurance run.

It looked like the enraged Cloud was just about to catch up to them and so the fighting would start any second now.

"Especially before the Ninth and Iemitsu finds out you're interested in him to begin with." Lal sipped at her lemonade, ignoring the screams as Hibari finally caught up with the group. "You know Iemitsu will start throwing women at him the moment he finds out you have an interest in him."

"We also know that I'll kill him and all the people he sends at them." Reborn sipped at his cup of coffee, watching with amusement as Tsuna transformed into a wolf and sent puppy dog eyes at his Cloud.

Who knew that Hibari could stop that fast and turn into a week kneed teen in front of a crush. It was only a few seconds later that the cloud was laid against his Sky, ready to take a nap, and from the looks of it, Tsuna was ready to join him.

The other three guardians just stood there, watching with amazement as the two settled down.

The three all took sips of their drinks at the same time, imagining the death that would occur to Iemitsu if he dared try to stop Reborn.

It would be a bloody and amusing sight to see for sure.

No one made a comment when they all joined the two napping individuals for a nap of their own.

VC

He was running as quickly as he could, hoping that he wouldn't be caught. He couldn't risk being caught, it would be his end if he was.

Ever since the daughter of the Emperor had been attacked many moons ago, werewolves were hunted down like wild animals. From there, they were caged in a compound of nothing but death. They were not given a chance to try and live in society or to hide among the Maho Janai, but instead hunted without mercy and then killed on the full moon.

He hardly understood the logic behind that, but he knew that the compound was surrounded in wolfsbane and the werewolves inside were dosed with wolfsbane potion. It made killing them easier and quicker.

Because of that, he was constantly on the move, not that he told anyone what he was, it was just safer not to stay in one spot for too long.

Now not even that strategy was working for him.

He panted heavily as he turned the corner, dodging the bright red light of a spell, it crashing into the concrete of the wall. "Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuuuuccck!" He hollered as he ducked, avoiding another red flash of light. "How did they know?" he questioned as he turned another corner.

Only to slam into a bright red flash of light.

His body locked up and he fell to the ground with a whine. He still didn't know how they had found him, he had used multitudes of different herbs and scent blockers, not to mention magic blockers and shields, and many other things to hide. He had been doing it for years and had managed to stay hidden that way.

But for whatever reason, this hunter had managed to track him through all of his spell work and potions and shields. They had hunted him mercilessly for several hours and hadn't let up for a minute.

He had been run right into the trap they must've set up, or into a partner, or something. But it didn't matter, he was trapped now and would be moved to the facility where he would be killed off like the rest of the werewolves. There would be no escape for him any longer.

He was done for.

"I was surprised at the number of you mutts in my town." The voice was female, strong and steady. No fear at all in her tone. "But I'm very thankful for it now, especially since it means that I won't run out of subjects to test on."

'Test subjects?' he thought to himself as he felt himself rolled onto his back before being sat up to have a bottle moved to his lips. 'What is she going to do to me?' he wondered as a spell was used and the foul liquid was swallowed.

"Now, this is most likely going to hurt, there's no avoiding that." She admitted as he was settled back onto his back. "Hopefully this won't last long and I have the final product I need."

He still had no clue what she was talking about but he knew about the pain she had spoken about. The pain started from his stomach and moved up into his chest, then his arms and legs, and finally up into his head. It felt like needles at first, but then it seared into a ripping sensation.

He wasn't aware at the time, but the ripping was his spine splitting out of his back as it twisted, along with his limbs and face. His body was being forced to change into something else that it wasn't supposed to.

At least, it wasn't supposed to till the full moon.

He gurgling sound erupted from his throat as he tried to growl and howl, but the blood clogging his throat prevented it.

The pain was just too much as his body twisted even more.

"Seems like this was another fail." She sighed as she looked that the struggling and twitching form in front of her. "Guess I'll have to start over." She watched the form just a little bit longer, watching it slow and come to small twitches. "Incendio." She intoned and watched as the body caught fire.

There was only so much time left and she wasn't sure how many more potions she could try to complete her objective.

Hopefully she succeeded intime, before it was too late.

"Come on Remus! Let's go out and enjoy ourselves without the kids and those other maniacs!" Sirius whined as he walked with his friend down the road, trying to convince him to go to one of the many wizarding bars that were nearby. They were hidden well, but he knew where to look for when he wanted to get sloshed.

"You're one of those maniacs Padfoot. I don't know why you would want a break when all you do is get into trouble with or without them." He kept his nose in his book, so the brunet missed the shocked look on his friend's face, but he heard the enraged squawk.

"Moony! How could you!" He cried out as he dramatically draped himself over his friend, which was hard to do because of their height differences, but he didn't mind allowing his toes to drag across the ground as the other continued to walk on. Damn the strength of a werewolf. "You're supposed to be my best of best friends!"

"Yes, that's true, but I don't have to feed into your idiosyncrasies. I'd rather just allow you to wallow in sadness and self-pity." He grinned at his book as he got a whine out of the other with that. It was always fun to pick on his friend, especially when there was no danger around to interrupt the peace.

"You know, I could call that abuse and just walk away, never to have anything to do with you again." Sirius wrapped his legs around the other's waist, discarding his previous statement as he did so.

Remus could only scoff as he continued to walk, thankful for the flames that now coursed through his body. Before, he wouldn't have been able to carry Sirius as easily as he was now, but after his flames had been awaken and released, he had become much stronger than before.

Even some of white in his hair had receded and the ache in his bones had almost all but disappeared.

It was freeing.

"Really Padfoot, you're acting rather childishly at the moment." He commented as he flipped the page in his book, ignoring the chin resting on his shoulder and trying to read as quickly as he was.

"But that's my job, to be childish." He tilted his head as a sound caught his attention off to the side, wondering what the multiple thuds of footsteps could mean.

Was that brat of a Cloud's Disciplinary Committee on the move again?

"I would've thought that was Harry's, with how much younger he is then us?" But then again, that boy had been through so much, he wasn't surprise how mature he was for his age. Not that he enjoyed some of those maturities being shoved into his face but he would live with it if it made his cub happy.

Though he would kill Xanxus if the man dared to harm his cub in anyway.

"I mean, you would think so." Sirius admitted before shrugging his shoulders.

Then things went black.

Remus blinked as he was almost brought to the ground as Sirius went slack on his back, before falling and hitting the ground. He turned and looked at his friend in confusion.

Then everything went black.

A.N. So this chapter was a long time coming. I'm sorry it took so long but between school and work and this stupid plague and riots and stuff, it's been hectic and I haven't had time nor inspiration. I've also lost my dog and my cat this month and I'm pissed about it. They shouldn't have died like they did but it happened. Either way, I just wasn't in the mood for writing. But I finally was and got this put up. I hope you all like it and will let me know what you all thought! Can't wait till the next chapter! Love you all and stay safe out there, no matter who or what you are!
