Author's notes: Man! Why I keep typing the long chapter?! The first one has 7 pages and now this chapter is over 7 pages! Maybe I was carried away. One more thing, this chapter have too much blood and violence, plus bad words; so if you dislike this stuff, don't read this, 'k? NO FLAME E-MAILS!! If you did, I'll send Okami after you!

Tasuki woke up again. He was surprise to see that Okami is not here. Why do he care? Beside he hate the girls. But Okami is different than other girls.. Let see.. The way she act.. Almost like she forgot how to act like a girl. Tasuki guess that Okami is tomboy and maybe hate dresses up like girl.. Tasuki like the way she says. He can't help but smiled when she calls him baka. She is loud mouth like Tasuki and has temper too. Okami is weird but is very babe. Wait a minute! Why I keep thinking about her? She means nothing to me! Thought Tasuki.

"If you want to know where Aunt Okami is, she is out for hunting."

"Who say that?" said Tasuki.

He saw a young boy. He looks like he is 8 year old. His hair is light brown and has golden eyes.

"Aunt? You mean you're-.." said Tasuki.

"I'm Al, Okami's fifth nephew. Your name is Tasuki, right?" said the boy.

"Yeah. I want you tell me about your aunt and how she found me."

"I like Aunt Okami. I want to be fighter like her when I grow up! I'm her favorite nephew, no da!"

"Fighter? Who she fought against?"

"The bear. She fought with her bare hands. I told her I want Aunt Okami to teach me how to." Said Al, then shocked to see Tasuki's funny look face.

"Bear? I have no idea she is that strong!" said Tasuki.

"Aunt Okami is unlike other aunts! She doesn't think or act a girl. She is only act like a boy. The aunts try telling her to act like a girl but she is refused. My dad told me that Aunt Okami is wild female fighter, just like my grandmother."

"But Okami told me that your grandmother died from gave birth to her."

"She is but my dad told me many stories about our grandmother. I'm sure Aunt Okami will be same like Grandmother."

"What? What's you mean?"

"To be strong fighter."

"Wow.. How Okami found me? I mean I was attacked by the monster.." said Tasuki.

"Umm.. I don't know how she found you but I think she found you when you was out." Said Al.

Okami, in her wolf form, hid in the tall grasses. She saw the large buck. Okami is waiting for the perfect time. She is lying still and didn't move. Waiting for the killing.

"Since you told me about your aunt is fighter, what's her skills?" said Tasuki.

"Let see.. She has lots of skills.. She knows how to hunt. If the prey got away, Aunt Okami use her illusion power. And it's work all the time. I warn ya, Okami is very sly and smart." Said Al.

The buck smelled Okami's scent. He ran but Okami is chasing him. When Okami have hard time to catch the buck, she uses her special power. The buck was shocked to see the pack of black wolves. He is trapped. The real Okami jumped and bite the buck's neck. The buck that cried in pain but later, he died. The pack of black wolves is disappeared. Okami is proud of her illusion power. It's useful power. Her brothers and her sisters don't have that power. Okami don't know why but they have power of fire and speed.

"When Aunt Okami took my older brother and me to learn how to hunt. Because my parents are busy with something that I don't know. While she teaches us, we were attacked by the tiger. But she won't let the tiger to get us. Aunt Okami used her illusion power. And the tiger afraid of huge monster that made from Okami's illusion power." Said Al.

"Wow.. Hey, is your aunt finish with my pant? I need that badly." Said Tasuki.

"I'll ask my mom. Mom!!" said Al.

Tasuki saw a woman ran in. She looks like she is 34 year old. Her hair is light purple. Tasuki is right of one thing. She didn't wearing a shirt but her long hair is covering her breasts.

"What is it?" said Lei.

"Mom, Tasuki want his pant back." Said Al.

"Tasuki, your pant is dry but I'm trying to wash the blood out of your shirt. I'll get it for you." Said Lei.

"Thank you." Said Tasuki.

When Lei left, Tasuki is thinking about when he was attack by the werewolf. Could Okami save Tasuki from the werewolf? He wants to ask Okami. Why he keeps thinking about Okami? He hates the girls! But to Okami, she is different than the other girls. He hopes that he's not in love.

Okami is almost finish eating the buck. She rips the meat off the leg and eating it. The meat is still hot, the way Okami like. The blood is all over her mouth and some on her fur. She'll clean up when she finishes with her meal. When she ate the last piece of the meat, she is chewing the bone to keep her jaw to be strong Creak! Her jaw snapped the bone in two pieces.

"One of warrior."

Okami was shocked and looking around but nothing. That dream. It's haunted me! But why? Why that voice calls me warrior? I'm werewolf not warrior! She leaves the bones of buck and walking to the river to clean up. When Okami is swimming, the bloods wash off her fur and flow through the water in the river.

"Tasuki! Where are you?!" yelled Miaka.

It's been two days since the attack. Miaka and the gangs try to find Tasuki. She hopes the monster isn't eating him. When she walked to the river, she was gasped when she saw the blood in the water.

"Oh no! Tasuki!" said Miaka, running where the blood came from.

Okami walked out of the river and shaking her fur. The water flew out of her fur. She transforms into her werewolf form. It's feel good when you have good meal. She hears somebody's heart is beating fast, like somebody is running. She smells the scent. It's smell so familiar.. Human! Miaka was gasped. It's same werewolf who attack the gangs!

"You! You're still in our area?!" said Okami.

Ok.. Play dead! Thought Miaka, play dead. Okami is sweatdrops.

"No! Wait! That trick is for only the bear!" said Miaka.

"If you don't leave, I'll force you!" said Okami.

"Aaaaahhhh!!" cried Miaka, running.

Okami is chasing her. Tamahome! Help me! Thought Miaka. Okami was jumped and land in front of Miaka. She was gasped when she is face to face the werewolf.

"If you don't leave, then I have to kill you!" said Okami.

And then I'll give your body to Tasuki to eat! Thought Okami. Miaka is scream again and running in the other path. That baka. She went to the path where the cliff is. Thought Okami, smiling. Then she hears Miaka's scream. Okami is laughing.

"I have no idea the human is that dumb." Said Okami, walking.

Miaka is grasping the root of the tree. She can't believe she ran into the cliff. She hears somebody is coming.

"Tamahome!" said Miaka.

But it's not Tamahome, it's the black werewolf. Miaka is shocked when the werewolf is smiling like she is enjoying this.

"Please! I'm not harmnness! I didn't do a thing on you! Why you're attack us?" said Miaka.

"ENOUGH!!!" yelled Okami.

Mika is whine when the werewolf yelled. Way to go! You make that monster mad! Thought Miaka.

"We hate you and your race. We don't want any human in our area. The humans are nothing but trouble and cause too much pain! If you're hunter, I'll kill you and feed you to my mate!" said Okami.

"But I'm not the hunter! And it's not truth that human are not trouble! And you must not to kill me!" said Miaka.

"Why not? You look like you're going taste good." Said Okami, licking her mouth.

"I know but you can't! I'm Priestess of Suzaku!" said Miaka.

"One of warriors of Suzaku to chose to protect the Priestess of Suzaku."

Okami is gasped and shaking her head. That voice.. It still hunt me! But why?! I'm not warrior! Thought Okami, shaking her head.

"Please help! I know you have goodness inside you! Help me!" said Miaka.

The root can't hold Miaka's weight. It's ready to break in a second.

"Please help!" said Miaka.

The root is finally snapped. Okami is watching Miaka is falling. She is smiling that the human will die soon.

"One of Suzaku Seven."

Okami looked at the place where Miaka is falling. Inside her heart, she feels sorry for that human. She don't want to save her but.

"Oh, dammit!" said Okami, jumped in.

Miaka is crying while she is falling. She saw something that is coming to her. It's the black werewolf and she is going to save Miaka! When Okami caught her.

"Hang on my back! I'm going to climb or land!" said Okami.

Miaka threw her arms around the werewolf's neck and hang on her back. Okami's claw went through the wall of the rock, trying to stop falling. That human must not die! Thought Okami. Finally, she is stopped falling.

"Hang on, human. I'm going to climb us out." Said Okami, climbing.

She felt the pain in her werewolf hands. The rocks. They're sharp! Thought Okami. Her blood came out of her hands but Okami is still climbing. Her paws are bleeding too.

"You're bleeding!" said Miaka.

"Don't worry. I'll heal my wound." Said Okami.

She can heal? The werewolf can heal too? Like Mitsukake? Thought Miaka.

In awhile..

Okami lost the feeling in her werewolf hands and her paws but she is almost reached the top. Miaka is worry about Okami. If she don't treat her wounds, she'll bleed to death! Thought Miaka. When Okami pulled herself out and lying on the ground. Miaka is moved out of the way. She was gasped when she saw Okami's wounds. It's so deep wounds. Miaka is ripped her skirt and use the piece of her skirt as the bandage.

"What are you doing?! I can heal myself!" said Okami.

"I know that but I want to stop the bleeding!" said Miaka.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" yelled Okami.

Miaka is gasp when the wind blew hard. She was surprise to saw the werewolf is gone.

"She is faster.. Just like Tasuki.. Oh no! I forgot about him!" said Miaka, started looking for Tasuki.

Okami is sitting on the breach of the tree. She is always heal her paws but didn't have enough power to heal her hands but her paws are important because she need her paws to walk. When the human is gone, Okami was jumped off and land on the ground. She is transform into her human form. Her hair is come down and cover her breasts.

"I'm sorry, human. But Tasuki is belong to me. He's not going to rejoin you. Tasuki is mine and you can't get him back.." said Okami, walking slowly.

Her hands are still bleeding.

Tasuki is wearing his pant and his coat. His white shirt is still covering the blood. Lei promise to wash the blood out. He was out of the cave. Tasuki have no idea that the weird people live in the mountain. It's so beautiful. He saw Okami walking slowly.

"Hi, Okami! Did ya catch something?" said Tasuki.

He was gasped when he saw Okami's hands are bleeding.

"What's happen?! How you got hurt?!" said Tasuki, ran to her.

"I'm sorry.." said Okami.

"Sorry, what?" said Tasuki, looked at her deep wounds.

"That I let the animal escape and I don't have the food for you to eat.." said Okami.

"It's ok. I'll eat later. Where is the water? We need clean your wounds." Said Tasuki.

"The waterfall is close here. Follow me." Said Okami.

Tasuki is helping her to walk. Okami is walking in crock way.

"Thank you. When I lost too much blood, it make me dizzy and walking funny.." said Okami.

Tasuki looked at her and picked her up. Okami was shocked and looked at Tasuki.

"Tasuki.." said Okami.

"Don't worry, I'll carry you. Tell me where the waterfall is." Said Tasuki.

"Follow that path." Said Okami.

Tasuki is walking where the path is.

Al and Lei are watching Tasuki carry Okami. Lei is in her wolf form. Her fur is light purple. Her son, Al is still in his human form.

"Mom, I thought you're going to wash that human's shirt?" said Al.

"Son, I'm not going to. I want that male to be Okami's mate and leader." Said Lei.

"You mean Tasuki is going to be."

"Your future uncle."

"Wow.. I like Tasuki lots. Do you think they'll have their own children?" said Al.

"Yes, I'm sure. But son, it'll take times. You have to wait if the female want to be your mate." Said Lei.

"You mean Aunt Okami have to wait if Tasuki want her to be his mate?"

"Yes, that's right."

"But when I came in, Tasuki smell like human. Why Okami want to be his mate? I mean what if Tasuki is hunter?"

"We can't be sure but Okami say that he have fangs, speed and the power of fire. That's what we werewolves have. She thinks Tasuki is werewolf. Do you remember the story that human mistake us as human? Okami thought when Tasuki was young, the humans mistake him as human and they take care of him. Maybe that's how Tasuki forgot about werewolf." Said Lei.

"Oh. And Aunt Okami will help him to remember?"

"Yes."

"But Dad is disagree that. Why?"

"You hear us fuss last night?" said Lei.

"Yeah. Why Dad don't like Tasuki?" said Al.

Lei is sighed. Al did overhear two werewolves last night.

::Flashback::

"Listen to me!" said Mark, growed.

"I am! But our sister is older and let her deiced by herself, not us!" said Lei.

"Look, Okami is my sister and your sister-in-law, I love her so much and I don't want the hunter is close to her!!" said Mark.

"Sssh! Low your voice! You're waking the kids up!" said Lei.

"If Tasuki isn't werewolf, I'll kill him!"

"No! What if Okami is still love Tasuki? I mean while Tasuki slept, Okami is watching him like she is in love. She have true feeling for Tasuki!" said Lei.

"Ok. But during the full moon, if Tasuki isn't werewolf, we pack will kill him!" said Mark.

Lei is sighed.

::End of Flashback::

"About time. It's stopped bleeding." Said Tasuki, tied the bandage that around Okami's hand.

"I don't understand this. Why you didn't lick to clean my wounds?" said Okami.

"What?" said Tasuki.

Then, he remembers the time Okami was licked his shoulder where his wound is. Could Okami and her family are wild animals? Or something..

"Tasuki, is it feel good while you're male?" said Okami.

"What?!" said Tasuki.

"I wish I didn't born as a female. I want to be male!"

"You mean you hate girls? But you're girl!" said Tasuki, clueless.

"I know! My sisters keep bug me about how to act like a girl! I hate this! When I was 13 years old, my older brothers are fighters. My sisters are not. I asked my brothers to teach me how to be fighter but my sisters keeping me away from my brothers! Dammit! But during the night, I sneaked out and my brothers taught me how to be fighter. That's how I became a wild fighter. I really love this. It made me feel like I'm male not female." Said Okami.

"Man, you're weird one. I can't believe that you do like that." Said Tasuki.

"But you do hate the girls!" said Okami.

"How you know?"

"Heh. I can tell by your looks. My brother taught me that too."

Tasuki is laughing. I can't believe this! I met a girl who acts like a boy and wishes to be a boy! Thought Tasuki. Okami hear somebody's heart is beating fast. She smells the scent that smells awful, enough make Okami is grossing out. She is gasped. She knew who is that.

"Get down!!" yelled Okami, pushed Tasuki out of the way.

"Hey!" said Tasuki.

Without the warning, the monster came out and attack to Okami. She was jumped out of the way but didn't make when she didn't have enough time to do that. The monster's fangs cut Okami's left arm. The blood flew out of her wound. When Okami is landed, Tasuki was shocked.

"Okami!" said Tasuki.

Then he hears Okami's laughing. What? Thought Tasuki. The monster looked at Okami.

"Haha.. I thought I teach ya a lesson but I guess you want come back to more! C'mon! Show what you're making of! Or you're too coward!" said Okami.

It make the monster mad and attacked to Okami. Tasuki was shocked when he eyewitness Okami was kicked the monster and hit right in its belly. The monster cried in pain.

"I can't believe this. Al is right. Okami is fighter.." said Tasuki.

"Heh. I'm proud of my nephew told you about me." Said Okami.

The monster raised up and the worse part is Okami didn't know that the monster is behind her. Tasuki ran and push her out of the way. The monster missed. Okami and Tasuki are fallen in the river.

"Can't swim!" said Tasuki.

He felt somebody hold him, like to help Tasuki to swim.

"Hang on! We need get out of the water before. Ahhh! Too late!" said Okami.

They both scream when they're fell down on the waterfall.

"What?! Miaka, You should not leave us again! What if something happen to you?!" said Tamahome.

"But she do have goodness inside her!" said Miaka.

"Tell us what's that werewolf look like." Said Chichiri.

"She have black fur and green eyes." Said Miaka.

Chichiri went pale.

"What's wrong? You're look like you saw a ghost." Said Nuriko.

"That's same werewolf who was attacked Tasuki!" said Chichiri.

Miaka was shocked. She has no idea that the werewolf who saved her is the one kidnapped Tasuki. But if she saved Miaka's life, that's mean Tasuki is alive..

Tasuki is very happy that he and Okami are in the cave that hid behind the waterfall. He and Okami are unhurt but there's something wrong with Okami. Tasuki was gasp when Okami's lips are turn into blue. She is not breathing.

"Okami! Wake up!" said Tasuki, try making her wake up.

Tasuki took a deep breath and kiss Okami, then give her the air. (like mouth to mouth) But Okami is still not breathing. Tasuki gave her more air. On fifth time, Okami is still not breathing. Tasuki is going to cry.

"Please, don't die!" said Tasuki, panting hard.

He kissed her and gives her more air again. This time, Okami is coughing the water out.

"Aahhh. Baka no Okami... You shallow too much water. You made me worry." Said Tasuki, smiled sweet.

Tasuki's thumb stroke Okami's cheek. Her skin is very soft. When his thumb touched her lips, Tasuki is blushing. He doesn't know what's happening to him but was shocked that he kissed Okami again.

"Dammit.. Why I have done this? I hate the girls. But.." said Tasuki.

Okami's hair fell over her face. Tasuki moved her hair out of her face. She is so beauiful while she is sleeping. Thought Tasuki.

"Okami is different than the girls. She is fighter.." said Tasuki.

When he touched Okami's arm, it felt cold. Tasuki carefully put her down. He took his coat off and put it on Okami to keep her warm.

"I wonder why you and your family don't want wearing the shirt.. You'll freeze to death.." said Tasuki.

His thumb is still touching her lips. He feels the air came out of her nose. When he touch her left arm, he hear the voice.

"One of warriors of Suzaku.."

"Huh? But I always know that. What?" said Tasuki.

"One of Suzaku Nine.."

Tasuki can't believe this. Nine?! But there's only Seven! Thought Tasuki.

"We miss two members of Suzaku? But that's impossible.." said Tasuki.

Let see.. How far we got? Tamahome, Hotohori, Nuriko, Chichiri, Mitsukake, Chiriko and me.. That's seven but why nine? I thought Suzaku have only seven warriors. Or I spent too much time in the water.. Thought Tasuki, sweatdrops. He nodded something is shining. He looked and saw the necklace that lying on her bare chest. Tasuki careful pull the necklace out and take close look at the necklace. It's gold stone with picture of wolf with ruby in its mouth. When his thumb touched the ruby, the bright light appeared.

"What the hell?!" said Tasuki.

He was gasp when the cave is on fire. He saw the large wolf. Something is not right. The wolf is on fire. But it does seem ok to the wolf. Okami! Tasuki looked and saw the fire that is too close to Okami.

"Okami!" said Tasuki.

"Don't worry about her. The flames are harmless.."

Tasuki thought he is going to be crazy but the wolf is talking! Or the wolf may speak inside Tasuki's mind. He was shocked when the fire is touching his hand but it didn't burn; he doesn't feel the heat too.

"Who. What are you?" said Tasuki.

"I'm Phoenix Wolf. Do you hear of me before, human?" said the wolf.

"Phoenix Wolf.. No, I'm sorry. I never heard of you.." said Tasuki.

"The reason why I came here, is you."

"Me? Why? I didn't do a thing!"

"Listen to me, I'm here to tell you about Okami."

"What?"

"All of her life, she and her family are hiding. Before Okami was born, many of her uncles, her aunts, and her cousins are got killed by the hunters. I can see what's happen in the future.. You must protect Okami and her family!" said Phoenix Wolf.

"Why? Is something happen in the future?" said Tasuki.

"Yes, very bad. Okami and her family will get kill by the deadly hunter pretty soon. You must protect her and her race, human!"

Tasuki nodded that the fire is going to die. Phoenix Wolf is going to disappear.

"No! Wait!" said Tasuki.

"Protect her and her race!" said Phoenix Wolf.

Then the wolf disappeared and the bright light came out of nowhere and went inside the stone that Tasuki is holding.

"Huh? Where's he go?" said Tasuki.

He looked around but no sign of the fire or the wolf. Okami and her family are hiding all their life from the hunters? But why the hunters want kill Okami and her family? That's the questions he wants to ask Phoenix Wolf. Tasuki looked at Okami. She is sleeping peaceful.

"I was attacked by the werewolf, met half nude girl and now the wolf that is on fire? What a crazy day!" said Tasuki, sweatdrop.

::Inside the dream::

Okami don't look like werewolf anymore. She wearing the clothes that human wore. Her long pant is white. Her sleeveless shirt is pink and white. Her black hair is in ponytail. Her boots are pink. (it's same boot that Tasuki wore in OVA) She stood next by Tasuki and the rest of gangs are same human that Okami and her brothers attacked before. The female human is stood next by Okami. She never saw her before but..

"Anera, do you think we can summon Suzaku? I mean I never done that before. What am I doing? What's I doing to say?" said Okami.

"Oh, Okami, don't worry. Trust me, we can summon Suzaku. I know how you feel. It's my first time too." Said the human, winked.

"You sure?"

"Anera's right. We can summon Suzaku this time.. I'm sure!" said Tasuki, holding Okami's hand.

Okami is smiled. She hears another heart is beating. She saw the female human is walking. Okami knew that human. That human is same one that Okami saved her from fell in cliff. This dream is peaceful, of course, it's confused but it seems that humans may make peace with the werewolves. But then something is wrong. The peaceful dream has become into nightmare..

The tall blonde man told Okami to kill all Suzaku Seven and all humans that live in Konan. Her eyes are glowing in blue. The Konan is burning with deadly flames. There's no way to stop the fire. The humans are screaming when they're got burn or on fire. Okami is sitting on the roof of the burning building. Her eyes are still glowing blue. She is laughing evil. Okami is really enjoying this.

Okami is inside the hut. She has blood all over her shirt, her pant and some on her face. Her hair isn't in ponytail anymore. Her hands are covering the blood. Okami looked at her hands and her hands are shaking. Some of her hair is cover her eye.

"That's right. I kill them.. I KILL THEM ALL!!!!" said Okami, laughing crazy.

"And. It's felt so good! Nothing but kill, kill, kill!!! Haha!! I kill them all!!" said Okami.

Somebody came in and shocked to saw the bodies of Miaka, Tamahome, and the rest of Suzaku Seven but except Tasuki. Lots of the pool of the blood that the bodies are lying on.

"You! What you have done to the others?! And why?!" said Tasuki.

Okami looked at him, smiling evil. Her eyes are still glowing blue. She is still smiling. She can't wait to kill. Tasuki saw her eyes.

"No.. This can't be.. You're still under Nakago's spell?!" said Tasuki.

"Enough talk.. And Okami that you knew, is gone forever." Said Okami, laughing evil.

"What? Have the demon took over your body?" said Tasuki, panting hard.

"Yes! I'm the demon who took over that pathetic werewolf's body and her soul! Okami is gone forever and you can't do a thing to bring her back! Hahahaha!!" said Okami.

Tasuki is crying.

"You. bitch!! How dare you steal my lover's body and her soul?! I never forgive you!" yelled Tasuki, attack to the demon that took over Okami's body.

Okami is dogged his attack and moved her hand and her hand went inside Tasuki's side. Tasuki is gasped when he is in very painful. And then he fell down and died. His body is bathing in pool of Tasuki's blood. Okami is licking Tasuki's blood off her hand.

"That's right. Haha.. That's what I kill for.. the blood!! HAHAHAHA!!" said Okami.

Her evil laughing is echoing through the hut and the area.

::End of the dream::

"Okami!! Wake up!!" said Tasuki.

Okami was gasped and woke up. Her eyes are filling with her tears. She was in shock..

"It's ok. You have nightmare. We're safe.." said Tasuki.

Okami threw her arms around Tasuki, still crying. Tasuki is still shock when she do that but Tasuki is hold her tight. He wish he know what Okami's nightmare. Maybe it talks about the hunter that Phoenix Wolf warning about. He hears Okami's soft voice.

"Lord Phoenix Wolf, please protect me from that horror nightmare and the demon.." said Okami.

Tasuki is listened Okami's words careful. Maybe that's may happen in the future. Maybe it'll cause the death to Okami and her family.. Maybe I'll ask her and her family to come with us while we're going to the place to summon Suzaku. Thought Tasuki. Okami can't bear to lost Tasuki. He is her future mate and that demon took over her body and killed Tasuki! She hears Tasuki's words.

"I'll protect you, no matter what.." said Tasuki, stroking Okami's soft hair.

It's felt so good. I want it stays that way forever. So warm.. Thought Okami, still crying. In awhile, Okami is fallen asleep again. But Tasuki is still holding her. What is this feeling? Plus I hate the girls' but.. Okami is different than the other girls. I can't put my finger on. Is that mean I'm in love? NO, those can't be.. Is it? Thought Tasuki, blushing. When he looked at Okami, he strokes her hair. You're mystery and weird babe but I like that. I think you're my type.. Thought Tasuki..
