Chapter Four: Tension and Sorrow

Scene: Kyura's home.

(Mother! Why have you cursed me so?!
What have I done to make you despise me?
I can't live with this curse...my life means nothing.
Moon mother, why must...why do you let
me live?)-Julia

~Kyura's POV~

I could hear something downstairs, it sounded like whimpering.
I glance out the window to see the full moon shining down brightly
through the glass, almost seeming to smile. I started to hear growling
and decided against going downstairs. The lycan may be hurt, but, like
a mouse cornered by a cat, he would find enough strength from somewhere
to kill anything he deemed a threat.

~Yusuke's POV~

Damn it! I hate transforming, the only reason I didn't make this big a deal of it
in the forest is because then those ignorant no-life hunters would have known
that I'm susceptible to attack while my change takes place. I whimper in pain
as I feel my bones popping and snapping to accomodate my new from.

I hate the pain, I curse the moon for being there, looking down at me with it's stupid
white light.

"Curse you moon!" I half growl as my fur starts to sprout all over.
Idiocy must have been my guide the last few days, because I normally take outrageous care
to stay away from the moonlight, kinda like the undead stay away sunlight, I even
stayed in the sewer for three nights. That's how much I hate it. Then again,
I had seen Kyura walk through the sunbeams streaming in the window during the day
and not be burned. Another strike against human folklore.

Finally, my muzzle stretches out and my teeth grow into fangs and such, my claws lengthen
and my eyes become engulfed in their golden color. The transformation is complete, thank god.

`Haha! You couldn't avoid the light tonight! I get to play!`

*What do you plan to do?*

`Let's start with that No-life, I don't trust her, she needs to die, probably planned to murder us
tonight anyway.`

*You can't kill her, besides if she wanted us dead, she would've left us there!* Yusuke is thrown back
into the recesses of his mind and a door barred across the entrance.

`Be silent! I know what's best for us, and it's not that No-life. Remember what happened last time we
trusted one of them?!`

Flashes of silver and blood race across Yusuke's vision, he bows his head, not replying.

`I thought so, now shut up and let me kill her.`

My body, now taken over by my wolf instinct, sniffs around, catching Kyura's scent and
stealthily making 'my' way upstairs. I don't say anything, I've already lost the argument.

*Why can't I die?* I ask myself, sitting down and drawing my knees up to my chest.

~Kyura's POV~

I could smell him, he was getting closer and closer to my room. Although I don't know why
he'd come after me, I really wasn't a threat as long as I didn't go near him.

"This is not the best thing I've ever done." I mumur to myself, withdrawing a silver dagger from a drawer nearby.

Yusuke breaks down the door, entering my room. His eyes roam for a bit, before alighting on me, he smiles ferally,
growling.

He talks to me, his voice seems distorted.

"Threat, you are enemy, and you die here no-life."

How could he call me an enemy? After I did all that for him? Then again, even a werewolf forgets his friends once
he's changed. When that happens, everything's either food or dead.

I flash the dagger at him warningly, he backs away slightly, his eyes trained on the deadly silver I hold in my hand.

~Yusuke's POV~

`See, she probably was trying to kill us with that!`

I look up, seeing what my wolf side sees.

*You don't know that, she might have had that there in case something like this happened!*

`You believed that last time, remember that scar you have?`

An image of a small scar where another Nosferatu I trusted had almost ran me through with a silver sword appears.

*She wouldn't.*

`She will, No-lives are not to be trusted.`

I go mad with rage then, and my wolf side smirks.

`I'm going to enjoy this.` it says, unlocking the door.

~Kyura's POV~

"Aw, crap, what now?" I ask myself, the lycan's eyes were turning red, the gold shrinking into pupils.
He looks up, growls at me and utters one word.

"Traitor." he says, and lunges at me. I dodge, his claws barely nicking my shoulder and retaliate by
swiping the dagger down his back, he howls in pain. Then turns back around to face me, the mistakenly deep
wound still bleeding heavily. He ignores it, going for me again, and it's all I can do to keep him away from my throat.

"Yusuke, stop it! I don't want to hurt you!" I yell, pushing him back against the wall.

He growls, but doesn't try to get away or attack.

~Yusuke's POV~

*She's not trying to hurt us.*

`She already slashed our back open with that dagger!`

*Only because we attacked her.*

My wolf side growls at me, but I won't let it take control again. The necklace I wear glows brightly.

*My body, mine, just leave her alone.*

It glares back at me, growling.

`For now, just know this isn't over.`

*You're not going to kill her, as long as this body is mine I won't let you.*

It doesn't reply, smirking instead.

I start to revert back to human form, my energy spent and bloodloss taking it's toll.

~Kyura's POV~

I watch as he reverts back to human form, his eyes going back to gold as he loses consciousness. I catch
him before he can fall to the floor.

"Lycan, you are more trouble than you're worth." I say, tsking slightly and bandaging some old wounds that
had reopened. I carry him downstairs, his blood dripping through my fingers from the slash in his back as I
lay him on his stomach on the futon. "I'm going to hate this so much."

I lick over the wound, letting my saliva coat it thickly, it begins to heal and soon no trace of it is left except for a
faint white line. I don't bother to bandage it as I gag, his blood not being the highest choice on my menu, and go
to the bathroom to scrub the taste from my mouth.

*Yes, definitely more trouble than he's worth.* I think, scrubbing my teeth.

The next few days passed quickly and Yusuke...I mean the lycan...didn't awake.

I kneel down next to him and shake him gently.

"Lycan? Are you awake?" I ask, keeping my voice indifferent.

He moans, opening one eye and catching sight of me.

"Stay away from me." he says, gracing me with his back.

"Lycan, what's wrong with you?"

"Go away, I might hurt you again."

I think about what he means, remembering a few nights ago, that scratch hurt me more than I had first thought.

"Oh, that may have hurt a lesser vampire, but not me. Weakling." I say, trying to tick him off.

"Whatever." he replies lifelessly.

*He must really be hurting inside.*

My face softens.

"Lycan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." I start, reaching for him. He growls, rolling away, his eyes are a bit darker.

"No-life, I said stay away, don't touch me!" he yells at me, huddling into the corner.

~Yusuke's POV~

My wolf side sniffs disdainfully.

`Pansy.`

*Shut up.*

`Wimp, you're scared of a girl, a no-life at that, all because of a scratch.`

*It's your fault.*

`Haha, 'my' fault? How's that?`

*You almost made me kill her.*

`She deserves death.`

*She accepts us.*

`She should die, all of them should.`

*I'm sure now, because of you, she thinks the same about us too.*

~Kyura's POV~

He's...afraid, I can feel the sadness rolling off him in waves.

I sigh, going over to the fridge, pulling out another steak, putting it on a plate and setting it in front of him gently.

"Lycan, whatever I did, I'm sorry." I say, going upstairs...or at least he thinks so, I sit on the top of the stairs, watching him.

He looks at the stairs, pain evident in his eyes.

~Yusuke's POV~

*Why?* I think, looking toward the stairs. *You didn't do anything Kyura, it...it wasn't your fault.*

I reach cautiously for the food offered, then retract my hand. I don't feel hungry at all, I turn my back to the food and curl into a ball,
clutching my necklace tightly.

*Protect me, supress it, please, I don't want to kill her.*
