Yoshiki: On with the chapter.

Chapter 6

The weekend is the best thing in the world, two days dedicated to myself as well as the chance that my guitar may be ready to pick up. I think of myself as a wild card in the music world. Most people I know specialise in one place specifically but I often play anything and everything. Yup...I'm kind of a musical, lone wolf. I pulled out my phone and checked my to-do list. Practise, play a couple of songs, go job hunting...join a social network...oh boy. I don't have anything against social networks but it just annoys me that everyone seems to be on one in some form. I kind of wanted to be the annoying person/wolf for not joining anything as such. I have a few accounts of online RPG games and I have advanced quite far in those accounts. Joined a few forums scattered around the internet, got two or three e-mail accounts around. That's enough for me. Now, the first thing on my to-do list is to practise.

I grabbed my guitar case and gently unzipped the guitar case. I pulled out my guitar; excitement filled my body as I ran my fingers over the strings. I strummed to see if the guitar was in tune, it was. I smirked before I tried out a few chords. Everything was going alright so far, but I was expecting something to go wrong. Something always did on some form. Putting the guitar down and reaching for the case, I keep my music books with the instrument which they were written for. It's easy to get lost in music...or I find it easy to get lost in music, as for my personal taste...it's a bit of everything. I don't have a specific area which I play in...It's just everything.

I walked over to the old dinosaur of a computer and booted it up. It takes a while but it'll get there eventually. I grabbed the newspaper near the computer and walked away from the computer, letting it boot up in peace. I lay down on the floor and placed the newspaper in front of me. I could go job hunting on the PC as well...if the internet wasn't such a pain but it'll have to do. I wasn't even sure what to put on any social networking websites...Ayumi said that it wasn't bad when she found out that I was a wolf...maybe the others won't mind that I'm a wolf. No, what am I thinking? I flicked through the newspaper and found the job section.

"Nothing like normal," I sighed. No jobs available actually interested me but I ripped the job page out of the newspaper and walked over to the computer. I logged onto my second account, the account where I held all the school work and everything like that. Anything work related was located on my second account while my RPG games are all on my first account. Even a wolf needs something to relax himself once in a while. Typing in my password I logged on...and left it while it sorted itself out. I had a lot of documents on it along with programs which aided me while working so it was sorting out that.

A wolf howl soon filled the apartment as I my phone vibrated on the computer counter. I reached for the phone and noticed who was texting me. I frowned as the text was just coming from the phone company; I better read it just to make sure it was something important. It wasn't. I've been offered another job. A job I wasn't really interested in. I switched off my phone and booted up the internet. Well, might as well go and get a drink; this was going to be boring for a while. The internet connection is so damn slow, even with high signal!

Lone Wolf – Chapter 6

I forgot how calm it was to be resting in the park, the lush grass, and the calm sky which was filled with clouds, the breeze was mild. The temperature was perfect; the pond was peaceful with the occasional quacks from the ducks and ducklings. The occasional swan swam there but it was mainly a duck pond. I gently opened my eyes and looked up at the sky, smiling at how peaceful everything was. Something I enjoyed.

"Hey! Kishinuma," I jolted hearing Satoshi's voice. What the hell was here doing here?! I face palmed. Public park...I'm such an idiot. Why does Satoshi have to ruin my start of the day? I looked over at Satoshi, waving with a smile on his face. I got up from the grass as he started walking over towards me. What's the point trying to relax when Satoshi wanted to talk?

"What's up?" I asked Satoshi. Satoshi stopped in front of me.

"I just wanted to hang out with you, but I didn't have your phone number," Satoshi told me. I smirked on the inside; I didn't really want Satoshi to have my number, similar to everyone else. It was just something I don't want. I don't really want people calling me while in my wolf form. Ayumi so far was the only acceptation I'll give my number too...seeing how she already knows that I'm a wolf. I can't believe I let that fall, let Ayumi find out I was really a wolf.

"I didn't give you my phone number, that's why," I replied to him, hurt flashed through his eyes. It didn't stun me, why should it? I cringed when the hurt was replaced by happiness.

"Then let's hang out more," Satoshi offered to me.

"I'm fine on my own," I told him. I turned away from him, his hand clamped down onto my shoulder.

"Come on, you could do with some company, you look pretty lonely," I heard Satoshi say.

"You don't know me that well Mochida," I growled, my canines showing. I did my best to look ahead of me instead of Satoshi. I couldn't let my identity slip again.

"Come on, we're friends."

"I...don't need friends." I said. I was lying, being accepted into the group at Kisaragi Academy was leaving its mark on me, I didn't want friends in the past. Now...I kind of wanted to be around one person. Ayumi knows more than anyone else so naturally, I want Ayumi there the most.

"Come on Kishinuma, everyone needs friends," Satoshi said. I growled in annoyance, Satoshi had no right to say that I need friends. I did my best to keep my anger under control, rage stirred the wolf and he'll attack. The wolf wouldn't be easy to tame if rage settled in.

"Maybe I don't...if you knew my past, you'll understand why," I simply said.

"Then are you going to let me on your life?" Satoshi asked innocently. It sickened me slightly to see Satoshi asking me that.

"Maybe that's something I don't to do," I growled, Satoshi only started laughing at that comment.

"Come on Kishinuma, what's the worst that can happen?"

"You...might get hurt?"

"I doubt that."

"I'm being serious!"

"What's the worst that can happen?" Satoshi repeated.

"You wouldn't believe me if I tried to explain anyway..."

"Go on?" Satoshi challenged me.

"I can't really say..." I shifted uncomfortably on my feet.

"What are you going to say?"

"You're best friends with Shinozaki...right?" Satoshi nodded.

"What about it?" He asked me.

"Round up the group...I'll come clean then," I told Satoshi before I headed off. I left Satoshi as I headed off home.

Lone Wolf – Chapter 6

Midnight soon arrived, I could smell them all. I could smell Satoshi with Naomi and Seiko, Morishige was with Mayu while Ayumi stood near them. Their scent was perfect. I'm not sure what they told their parents to get out so late but I'm guessing it has to have been a good excuse. For me, I roam where I want to go. I was already in my wolf form running up to the meeting point of the group. I felt like I was being watched. I stopped and looked in some bushed, I recognised those eyes gleaming from the bush.

"Kizami," I growled.

"What do you think you're doing?" He growled back. I could sense the confusion coming off him.

"I'm telling my friends what I really am," I told him, I was still slightly uncertain if this was the right move but Ayumi knew...it was right that everyone else knew.

"And if you get rejected?"

"I said I'll drop out of Kisaragi Academy and find somewhere else to study."

"You sure you want to do this?"

"I'm sure."

"Then good luck," with that, Kizami ran off. I watched him before I continued my way towards the meeting group. Kizami soon came back to me.

"What now?" I growled.

"You do realise that when you reach a certain age in human years...we start forming magic?"

"We do?"

"Normally it awakens when you're 18 but it can happen at any time."

"What am I to expect?"

"Your family's magic consisted on runes which reflected emotions. Your family is unpredictable when it comes to magic, other wolves could only just avoid in time what you were going to."

"Only royal blooded wolves can't be predicted."

"Is that so?" Kizami asked me. The Kishinuma family were of royal blood in any form. Why would my so called 'magic' be so unpredictable? I shook my head.

"No one in my family is royalty," I told him. Kizami chuckled slightly. He was starting to get on my nerves...why was he here anyway? I watched as Kizami started to circle around me. The lingering fear that he's going to attack me formed in my mind.

"Looks like you're going to need to re-check your family tree," Kizami told me before he ran off. I remained where I stood for a little while longer before I shook my head and moved towards the meeting point. Why would I need to re-check my family history? Anyway, I'm a delinquent; they wouldn't let me have access if I was the last Kishinuma in the world. That wasn't important; I need to find the others, morphing into my human form and ran towards the meeting place.

Lone Wolf – Chapter 6

I was clearly out of breath by the time I reached the meeting place. I had it on top of a hill where I could see the moon clearly to keep me calm. You don't need to be a werewolf to be influenced by the moon; anyone can be influenced...only some act on it. If I so wanted, I could probably change into a werewolf but I won't be in control and I'll probably kill everyone I want to keep. I reached the top of the hill to find that everyone was there waiting for me.

"Kishinuma, there you are," Satoshi said through a yawn.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, something came up I wasn't expecting," I told them while scratching the back of my head nervously.

"Why did you call all of us out so late?" Seiko asked hugging Naomi. Naomi was currently giving Seiko a piggy back, much to everyone's amusement. I looked up at the moon slightly.

"The moon's nice...isn't it?" I asked, everyone looked up at the moon.

"Yeah, it is," Mayu said happily. "Right Shigeni?" she added on the end. I noticed the moon reflecting in his glasses as he gently pushed them up slightly. Everyone's dressed in casual clothes, plain, long sleeved tops along with jeans. Everyone was wrapped up nice and warm.

"What's the reason you asked us to come out?" Naomi asked brining my back to my point; Ayumi looked worn out from whatever she was doing today...yesterday?

"Can this hurry up Kishinuma?" Ayumi asked me.

"Shinozaki...I know you know," I said.

"Ah, okay," Ayumi smiled at me innocently.

"I've been thinking about this for a while today...and I came to the conclusion that I should show you...my read self," I told the group.

"There's something about you?" Satoshi asked confused. I nodded, shuffling slightly. I didn't believe I'll get this far. I gulped before I sighed and let my wolf features reveal themselves. I head everyone gasp...well, nearly everyone. Ayumi was the only person who didn't gasp.

"You're...a wolf...?" Naomi asked.

"Wow!" Seiko exclaimed. She was clearly bursting with energy. Based on that little fact, Seiko pounced on me; I couldn't help but catch her out of reaction. Seiko didn't hesitate to gently pet my ears. I tried my best not to look like I enjoyed it but that wouldn't happen. Everyone burst out laughing.

"Please...stop," I whimpered trying not to growl in pleasure or let my wolf get the best of me. Seiko only giggled and continued petting me. I struggled slightly before I managed to push Seiko off me.

"Can you go full wolf?" Morishige asked me. I nodded.

"I can go full wolf...but I prefer to stay half and half, so both sides of me get attention. I tried when I was little to only be human...but that resulted in me going crazy," I told Morishige.

"Some people went missing?" Satoshi asked.

"People who tried to get close...often disappeared," I told them.

"So you're going to get rid of us then?" Ayumi asked.

"I'm balanced, both wolf and human get enough time out so there's no issue there," I told them.

"Well, glad you came out about this," Satoshi gently put his hand on my shoulder. My wolf ears twitched slightly as my tail waved slightly.

"I talked to Shinozaki about this she said do what feels right. I don't really like telling lies so I thought I'll come out now. Just, don't treat me differently," I said.

"We won't. You're our friend and we won't treat you differently," Satoshi told me. I'm not sure why...but pride is building in me? Maybe it wasn't pride but acceptance? Who cares? I felt great letting the others know that I'm a wolf now, the feeling that I'm being a terrible friend left my chest and mind. I think I can finally relax now.

"So...can we go home now?" Ayumi asked yawning.

"Yeah, I guess?" I replied. I told them what I needed to tell them, nothing else really to say.

"We'll see you tomorrow for school then?" Naomi asked.

"Sure Nakashima," I told her before I went full wolf and went to leave. I had a meal which needed preparing for when I wake up in the morning. I looked back at them before I continued running back home. I knew that Kizami would be watching me. I just told my friends that I'm a wolf...maybe he feels ready to tell his friends? I don't know, he's a strange wolf. Stating I had magic...I'm just a wolf, nothing magical.

Lone Wolf – Chapter 6

I turned human once I arrived in my local area, wandering up the steps to my apartment and gently took out the key. Unlocking my apartment door, I slowly walked in. My apartment seemed lonely, the simple fact that I didn't have much to spend at the moment. I really need to get a job if I hope to get anywhere. I closed the front door and headed towards the kitchen. I quickly prepared breakfast, ready for tomorrow before I headed off to bed.

I wandered into the bedroom and picked up the book I left on the side. It was nearly finished so I might as well finish the book. I checked the due date for the library book. I have one day left to finish this book. That shouldn't take me long. I opened the book to where the bookmark was. Flicking a couple of pages ahead to see if this was the last chapter. For a last chapter...it was only 7 pages long and the font wasn't very small. I smirked and flopped down on my bed and started reading.

The story itself is based on a murder mystery case. I knew it couldn't be real in the past when this story was based but that wasn't going to stop it from being a good story. The story flowed well and the characters managed to crawl their way into the reader's mind and you could easily pick up what the characters were feeling through their words and situation. I haven't read a good book in a while. It took a while to get used to reading a novel instead of manga at the library. One manga I enjoyed involved a note book and the owner slowly grew more and more corrupted because of it. It was interested to see how innocent they were at the start before they turned into the criminal they were against.

The night passed by slowly before I finished my book, placing the book down on the bedside table. It had a great ending, the criminal was caught. The criminal was a simple child. A child no one listened to when they needed the police the most. It was a nice plot twist due to the fact that all the suspects were adults when the real criminal was a child. That's what the story needed, a massive plot twist in the end. I couldn't help but laugh once I found out that it was a simple child.

Resting on m bed, I started thinking about my past. Some people did go missing before I balanced myself out. The people who were close...children like me and I'm the reason they 'vanished', stolen during the night while I was a wolf. I've always had blood on my hands but from humans. It's possible that my wolf accepts these friends instead of the 'friends' I had in the past. Well, there's no point dwelling on the past. I've got new friends now, and I'll protect them when they need me. I'm still a lone wolf, and I'm going to keep it that way. Letting my wolf features out, I settled down into the pillow and slowly closed my eyes.

FireCacodemon: Hope it was good enough...

Yoshiki: Pfft, we don't know. Anyway, the review bag.

FireCacodemon: Jackcay101 - Here's more. :3

FireCacodemon: Now, I'm starting to struggle to write these chapters. I've set up a poll to see if you readers want me to wrap up this story quickly so that I can work on Wolf Yoshiki in Heavenly Host or keep this type of story going a little longer (say about 12 chapters) before heading to Heavenly Host. I'll leave that up to you readers.

Yoshiki: Anyway, love it? Hate it? Want more? Leave a review, favourite or a follow.

FireCacodemon: It is appreciated.
