A/N: Sorry I got a new game and I’ve been taken in by it… so cooool… sorry. I’ll try to post sooner. Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marianela grinned as she dealt out the cards to the three boys sitting around the table. They were playing slapjack. She loved this game. They started tossing cards into the center of the table. Ransom placed a card down and a second later her hand shot out. It was a jack and she grinned.

“Damn.”

“How does she do it?” Mitch muttered to himself.

“Just be glad Akira isn’t here.”

The blond woman had a grin on her face. “I love this game.”

They started to play again, and as they played Ransom spoke up. “What do you think Akira’s doing?”

Mitch sighed as he tossed a card onto the center pile, “Daisuke is most likely running him into the ground.”

“Or Akira could be his stubborn self and run his own body into the ground.”

Ransom got the next pile of cards and he whooped.

Jett chuckled and watched as Mitch tossed another card into the center. “When will this damn snow stop I’m bored as hell?”

“Geez Mitch your worse than Akira.” Marianela tossed a card into the center.

“I can finally move around without a limp and I’m stuck inside.”

They looked at the oldest male as he laughed. “Karma’s a bitch.”

“Why are you mean to me on the day of my birthday? I’m special aren’t I?”

“Yes, you’re so special you had to have Akira help you in math.”

The two younger people laughed and he gapped at what Jett said. Ransom took a breath and grinned; “Now that is funny!”

“Shut up mutt!”

Mairanela’s hand slapped down on the pile again. “Damn it!”

“Start paying attention.”

Jett chuckled and tossed another card on the pile. The game went on and soon Mitch grew bored and split his cards between the remaining three. After playing a few more rounds Jett passed off what few he had left. Then it was Marianela and Ransom playing.

“You think Jett and Mitch are going to spend this time alone.”

“I wouldn’t blame them if they tried.”

He smiled and tossed a card on the deck. “Jett’s a lot happier now that Mitch is back.” That was good, before hand he would always work and then wander the streets of the city till it was dinner time.

“I don’t think Jett would be able to take it if Mitch did die for real next time.”

“Hope that doesn’t happen.”

Marianela slapped her hand down Ransom’s on top of her hand. She grinned and the blunette sighed.

“I give.”

“Why don’t you play to the end anymore?”

“Cause your better than me at this game.”

“Fine I get it.” She shuffled the cards and they decided to play another card game.

Mitch had his back to the door when Jett walked in. He walked over and placed his hand on his side. “Hey.”

“Mhmmm…”

“Good, you’re still awake.”

“Not for long. I’m bored.” He smiled when Jett laid down behind him and let his fingers brush over the arm that was draped over his waist. “How’s your arm?”

“Same as always.”

Their fingers twisted together and he smiled, it took a while but Jett was willing to give him a second chance. The feelings for Jett were so strong he didn’t think he could live without them. Jett made a sound as Mitch rolled over and let the taller male hold onto him, his face was buried against his throat. Slim fingers curled into his shirt and Mitch smiled as his fingers ran through his hair. The wind was slowly dying down and he couldn’t help but feel happy. Tomorrow was going to be a good day. His eyes slid shut as Jett muttered something and then grew quiet.

Jett found Mitch asleep and he sighed, “I thought I told you not to sleep.” But it fell on deaf ears. He sighed and smiled, “Can’t beat them join them.”
^^^^

The sounds of a phone ringing filled the room but no one moved to answer it. Its tone was loud and then it stopped, a machine clicked and you could hear a voice.

“Mitch it Mike. I’ve got bad news. Willow she had premonition and it sounds bad. The city is in danger so wake the hell up!!” It grew quiet and there was a sigh. “Damn it, no one’s there!...” It clicked off as a person pushed a button.

They smirked and pushed open a door, two people lay slumped over the table asleep. Walking further into the house they climbed the stairs and found two more curled up on the bed. A grin spread across their face, “To easy.”
^^^^

Akira shivered and arched his back. “Holy fuck that’s cold!”

He whipped around in time to get a face full of snow and to make matters worse he had slipped on a patch of ice. The laughter was loud and he saw Zev appear in his line of vision. “You okay?”

The wolf was grinning. “Do I look okay?”

“Yes.”

He had moved quick, knocking Zev’s feet out from under him and ended up on his own feet. “Now I am.” Walking off he opened the door to the cabin and closed it. He came back out with a bucket of cold water and walked over to the two laughing males, Cyan and Davion. The bucket of water was splash on them and he walked off, a smirk on his face.

Opening the door Flare stepped out to call them in for dinner. He passed the bucket off to her and walked past. Daisuke was on the couch, that gray hat of his pulled down over his face. Walking passed he quickly stepped back and looked at the older brunette’s leg. Lifting the hat up, he looked at him. “When are you leaving?”

“Tomorrow afternoon.”

Everybody walked in and then they made their way to the table to eat.
~~~~

Zev grinned as Akira straddled him. “So we’re leaving tomorrow?”

“Yes.” He went to pull his shirt off and Zev stopped him. “What is it?”

He pointed out the window and in the partly cloudy night sky he saw the full moon. “Not tonight.”

Akira sigh, leaned over and kissed him. His fingers curled into the pillow on either side of Zev’s head, while the wolf wrapped one arm around his shoulder. He soon found himself on his back, his back arched up when Zev rubbed their hips together.

Pulling back he looked down panting, “In the morning.”

He shivered when Zev’s weight disappeared; looking over Akira found him digging through his bag. “What are you looking for?”

“Something to help me sleep.” His hand closed around it and he pulled out a small packet. “Be right back.”

Sighing he rolled over and pulled the blankets over his body. His eyes closed, only to snap open when he felt a hand slip down the front of his pants. Glancing over his shoulder he found Zev curled around his body. “What…” the question was cut off by a moan as his finger brushed over his erection.

“I can smell it.” His nose was buried against his neck. “I won’t be able to sleep. Push them down some.”

Akira slipped his hands down and quickly undid the baggy pants he was wearing. He pushed them down and Zev started to stroke him. He shivered and pushed his hips forward. Sharp canines brushed over the skin on his neck. He was soon breathing heavily as Zev’s hand moved faster. Soft moans started to come from the brunette as his body shook. “Hah… Zev…” His body curled and soon his toes curled in the sheets. Then he came in Zev’s hand his body shivered and he lay there panting.

Zev pulled his hand away and he licked his fingers clean. When they were clean he reached over to the small nightstand and picked up a cup. He quickly drank the rest of it and slipping one arm under Akira he pulled him closer. As he was pulling the blankets over the both of them he could feel the effects of the tranquilizer.

The brunette quickly pulled his pants back up and he looked at the already sleeping wolf. He couldn’t stop looking at him; his face was relaxed and peaceful. As time passed he didn’t realize it was almost midnight. Shifting his body he twisted into a more comfortable spot. His eyes closed and he found himself drifting to sleep.

He started, when something tickled his nose. Opening his eyes he found Zev in his wolf form. Then moving closer he buried his face in the soft fur and smiled. The wolf had a nice earthy forest smell. His eyes drifted closed.
^^^^

Akira woke up; an urge to run had woken him. He sat up and stretched, looking down he saw Zev hadn’t shifted back. Climbing off the bed, he pulled his shirt off and walked over to his bag. Pulling out a tee-shirt and pants he quickly got dressed.

Walking out of the room he made his way to the front door. Pulling it opened he found Daisuke sitting on the step. “Where you going?”

“Nowhere.” He walked passed him.

“If you don’t come back soon I’ll send your wolf after you.”

“Whatever works.” He was walking and as soon as he cleared the tree line he was running. The cold air whipped past him as he ran faster. His feet bare and soon cold from the snow, but he pushed on. His stride evened out and his pace quickened. He wanted to run, he need to run till he couldn’t run anymore.

The brunette didn’t know how far he ran or how long he was at it. All he knew was that the sun was now rising and it casted shadows everywhere. The woods were slowly coming to life. He felt it on the edge of his mind as he went into all out dead run. Then there was a cliff, he ran up to the top and slid to a stop at the edge. His breathing was coming in quick shallow pants and he looked out at the rising sun.

Its golden rays reached out over the mountains and touched the trees. The light chased the darkness away and then the warmth that followed after it. He could feel the warmth as it rose out from behind the mountains. He liked it out here, no one to judge you nothing to rule over you. Only nature it’s self was out here and they had their own rules.

Then everything went black.
~~~~

“Help us!”
~~~~

Zev jerked awake and looked over at the door. “Can you go get Akira?”

“Where did he go?”

“Running.” Daisuke walked out of the doorway and Zev looked out the window the sun was almost up from behind the mountains. He got up and grabbed a shirt to pull on. Then he was on his way out of the cabin.

He followed his scent; it took him a while to get to a cliff as he climbed to the top he found him standing at the top. His body swayed and Zev rushed forward. With hand out stretched his fingers grabbed the back of Akira’s shirt. The brunette’s body swayed as he came to stop hanging over the edge.

He let out a rush of air and looked at Akira.

Akira made a sound and opened his eyes. He jerked and shouted when he saw the long drop. Looking over his shoulder he shouted, “Get me up!”

Once his feet were on firm ground he gave a sigh. “So tell me how did you end up going over the edge?”

“I don’t remember.”

“What do you remember?”

“Running and someone screamed.”

“Huh?”

Just then there was a buzzing sound, Akira reached behind him and pulled out his phone. “Hold that thought.” He lifted the phone to his ear. “Hello.”

“Akira!”

“What!?”

“Willow had a premonition about the city something big is going to happen.”

“Like what?”

“I*bzzt*” There was an explosion and the ground shook. Turning Akira watched as two large mushroom shaped clouds rose into the air.

“Zev…”

“Those are big.” Akira turned and took off running. “Akira!” The wolf took off after him.
~~~~

Daisuke sat up and looked out the window. “What was that?” Just then the door opened and Falcon flew in. “Falcon.” Hawk rushed over.

“Hi Daddy!”

“Hi, Daisuke I’ve got a message from the King but instead… he came along.”

Daisuke, Cyan, and Davion stood up as tall man walked in through the door. He had long blond hair that was pulled back and dark green eyes. He was as tall as Zev, two large black wings folded up on his back. The shirt he was wearing was a dark red and buttoned up and his pants were blue jeans.

Davion grabbed Hawk and shouted, “I’m going to the bathroom!”

“Davion!” He stopped and looked at Daisuke. “Fine, hurry up!”

As soon as the bathroom door was shut he quickly popped the window opened, “Tell Akira and Zev to wait till Daisuke comes to get them. The King is here and Akira is not safe.”

“Got it.” She slipped out and took off to find Akira.

He closed the window and got down. Then counting to ten he flushed the toilet and walked out. “Sorry dad I was on my way when you walked in.”

“I see. Get your things you’re coming home.”

“Why?”

“It’s not safe.” Daisuke said to him. “I’ll be willing to open a path for your two to get home safely.”

“That would be a lot of help.”

When he looked at the king he didn’t look at him directly. Then he nodded, Davion’s stuff dropped in front of him and Davion sighed. “Fine.” The black hole appeared and they were about to walk through when the door slammed open.

Zev stood panting his body covered in claw like scratches. “Akira… Diter… help…” he dropped to his knees and Daisuke walked over to the couch. Pulling the cushions off he pulled out a black onyx pole and pulled it apart. He held two long wicked daggers in each hand. The way they were made was unique and the tips were hooked. The older brunette sheathed them and reached down for a brown strap.

He pulled it on and slid the onyx pole into a holding strap at his lower back and picked up a double bladed weapon, the blades pointed in opposite directions of each other in a large curve. Then he walked over to Zev, “Get up. You’re taking me to Akira.” He turned to Davion’s father. “I’m sorry but I have to go check on one of my students.”

The tall blond watched as the male on the floor stood up. The two left the cabin, walking over to the door he watched as Daisuke took to the air and a large black wolf took off running into the woods. “Davion.”

The male stiffened and looked at his father. “Yes.”

“We’re going home.” The two left through the black hole that Daisuke opened. “You’re going to tell me about this new student of his.”

‘Shit.’

It closed and Cyan looked at Flare. “You think Davion can keep it from him?”

“I think he can. Now help me, we might have an injured person to care for when they get back.”

“Okay.”

“Flacon, go and get Tito and Rainer.”

“On it.”
~~~~

Hawk floated over to the hidden Akira. “I don’t see him.”

“I need my spear.” He was covering a bleeding wound on his arm.

“Where is it?”

“In my room in the duffle bag.”

“Okay.” She floated off and he peaked out of the hole in the tree. There was a whoosh of air and the hallow tree fell. He peeked over the edge and saw Diter looking down at him.

“Hello Akira.” A large sword was resting on his shoulder.

“Go to hell.” Akira smirked when he growled at him. “What they do take rejected assholes, am I right?”

He jumped away just as that sword slammed into the ground where he was at. “Father should have clipped your wings.” His back was to a tree when Diter swung again and the sword got stuck in the tree. Looking up Akira smirked and slammed his foot into his gut. Diter flew back and hit the tree.

“I’m not afraid anymore.”

“Such a pity would have been easier.” He stood up and held his hand out. The sword unstuck itself and flew over to him. His hand rose and Akira found himself up against a tree.

He gasped as something started to squeeze his neck, “… ba…stard…” dots danced on the edge of his vision as his lungs started to scream. Walking over he looked at him and smirked, Akira lashed out with his foot. It connected and he felt his body fall the ground. He coughed and took deep breaths of air. “Fucking asshole.” The brunette climbed to his feet and watched as Diter stumbled back from the kick.

“Such harsh language.”

Sidestepping he turned and ran. He could hear the laughter as he ran; grabbing a branch he pulled it with him and waited. When Diter got close enough Akira released the branch and it swung forward. The large sword sliced through it and he cursed as he was once again dodging sword slice after sword slice. ‘Where is Hawk?’
~~~

Hawk pushed the window open and floated in. She quickly moved over to the duffle bag on the dresser and disappeared inside it. When she came out she was holding onto the metal rod. Floating over to the window she quickly closed it and took off.

As she made her way to Akira she passed Daisuke and Zev. “Daisuke! Daisuke!”

He slid to a stop, “Hawk!”

“He’s up ahead, he asked me to bring him his spear.”

Zev looked at her, “Is he alright?”

“Just an arm wound.” She then turned, “I got to go and get this to Akira.”

“You’re going straight to him right?”

“Yeah.” Then she shot off into the woods.

“Shit she is fast.”

“They need to move quickly.” Daisuke took off running and Zev followed after. A few minutes later they slid to a stop and found themselves face to face with two people. A woman grinned and a tail swished behind her. She had marks on her face and two cat ears twitched on her head. Her hair was a flame red and her eyes were closed.

A larger male stood next to her, he was built and taller than Zev. He had black hair and black eyes. His skin was a dark tan and there was a black flame like tattoo on his upper arm. They both had on black pants and gray tops. The woman’s was a half top and the man looked like it would rip any second.

“Hello!” She giggled and looked at Zev. “Hey, Taru can I play with the puppy?”

The large male moved and a small boy walked up, he had longish blond hair and pale yellow eyes. He looked like a child and he was even carrying a small stuffed toy. His cloths were the same as the others. “Father said to get rid of any obstacles.”

“Okay, I got the puppy!”

“Knox you can get the other guy.”

“Yes, Brook.”

“Knox.” The large man stopped and looked at the boy. “Let me play with him.” He handed him his toy and walked after Brook.

“Well?”

Daisuke looked at the weapon in hand and he laid it on the ground, “I’m not going to use Ellen’s… I won’t need it.”

“So we fight?”

“Yes… and win.” The hooked blades came out and he twisted them around. “So which one of you took Akira all those years ago?”

“Oh you mean big brother.” Brook giggled and shook her head. “He’s at home.”

“Wait, are you saying…?”

“Not that time.”

They both jumped back when the two attacked. The small boy left a crater and the woman left a scorching mark on the ground. “Time to play.”
~~~~

Akira stumbled back as the sword was pointed at his neck. “Come quietly or I’ll just take you dead. All he needs is your body.”

“Fuck. You.”

“Fine.” Diter brought the sword up and Akira watched as it rose. It stopped and the sun reflected off of it. “To bad your sister won’t have anyone to save her.” His head lowered. “I’ll go say hi to her later.” He gripped the ground and let out a growl. The sword fell.
