Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ A Wolfs' Cry ❯ Chapter 8

A little passed eleven o'clock Yuki and Trinity arrive home, just in time to catch Kyo and Shigure at the door. Shigure turns and smiles, "So guys… how was your movie?" Trinity blushes, "It was interesting I never would have thought the mom would end up being the killer." Yuki looks at Trinity, "Trinity! Your not supposed to give away the ending Shigure was planning to see it!" "Oops! Sorry Shi." Shigure smiles widely, "Oh, its ok I already figured it out anyway." Yuki, Trinity and Shigure turn and look towards the door where Kyo was standing. Kyo was standing so still and pail it was as if he were carved of stone. "Kyo? Are you ok?" Trinity asked. Kyo looked at Shigure, shaking with unease, "Something's wrong… I can feel it…" Kyo said in a distant but worried tone. Trinity ran to the door were Kyo was standing. "Fine! I can't take the suspense anymore I'm going in if you guys want you can stay outside!" With that said Trinity flew open the door and went in. Shigure walked in with Trinity, "I'll look around the living room, Yuki you take the dining room and kitchen and Kyo you check the downstairs rooms and Trinity I'm leaving the upstairs to you." In unison they nodded and ran off. Trinity walked up the stairs and noticed some dirty footprints. As she got closer she saw more, there must have been and gang of them, she thought to herself. She followed the footprints toward her room, which was always dark. Always liked to conserve energy as much as possible. From the corner view she saw her door knocked down. Why would Jackie or anyone want to knock down her door? She doesn't have anything worth value? As she got closer she stepped in something wet and sticky. By the time she got to her room it had a very familiar sent to it. Trinity can feel her thought clogging up almost chocking her. She hopped what she thought and what kept crossing her mind wasn't true she prayed it wasn't. Tears filled her eyes as soon as she reached the entrance… pitch black and reeking of death… Jackie? Her mind cried Please prove me wrong. Without more hesitation she flipped the light switch. "AHHHHH!!!"

Yuki, Shigure and Kyo jumped in place then ran up the stairs. They saw Trinity backed into the wall across from her room crying hysterically and hugging her knees to her chest. Yuki ran to Trinity while Shigure and Kyo stood staring at her. "Trinity what's wrong? What happened? Tell me Trinity!" Yuki asked. She pointed to her room still with tears falling from her face, "T-There m-my room." Trinity pushed out. Yuki turned his head towards the room and jumped himself, "K-Kyo… S-Shigure you guys have to see this yourselves…" Yuki stood up stiffly and backed towards the wall to where Trinity was sitting, practically leaning on it for support. Kyo ran to the room and saw what caused Trinity and Yuki to back away. Shigure stood at the doorway staring in surprise. "Jackie?! Where the hell are you?!" Kyo called. The room was covered in blood; prints of shoes and hands were all over. The window was leaking with blood as if the people wounded jumped out of it. The walls had hand marks and droplets that have dried up. And there were smears of something being dragged out of position that can only be dead bodies. Who would do this? Kyo thought. He walked deeper into the room feeling his throat tighten with every step. He spotted something in the middle of the floor not realizing he was already walking toward it. What is it? He bent down towards it and picked it up. "A pile of clothes?" His voice sounded alien to him. He examined the clothes closer, "No, I-It can't be… Jackie's clothes…" He looked around and saw some strange prints on the floor… Wolf prints? But they're too big to be wolfs but too small to be anything else. "Trinity! Come here now!" Kyo yelled. Trinity walked in holding on to Yuki's arm holding on for support. "Trinity, are these Jackie's wolf prints?" Trinity looked around with hope in her eyes again although she was still crying she nodded through the tears. Shigure walked towards the window where he picked up something drenched in blood almost unnoticeable. "A Gun? Hmm… Obviously they were well prepared… Trinity do you have any enemies?" Shigure asked in a calm tone. "Me? Not really… at least none that would come looking for me but… Jackie… I should have seen this coming! I should have!" Kyo turned to her and put his hands on her shoulders. "What happened? Trinity I need to know… please." Kyo said. Trinity sniffled, "She's always being hunted because of what she is. The legendary, white, three tailed wolf. My father told me stories about her… that she'd fight to protect her owners, her friends, and… her home or she'd die trying! That idiot!" Kyo stepped back from Trinity and Yuki and looked at Shigure. "Shi, I'm going after them… I've got to get her back… I … I love her." Shigure nodded, "I figured that out a long time ago. Love at first sight right? Well smarty cat, how are you planning on finding her?" Kyo Marched out of the room, "I DON'T KNOW! I don't know… I guess I'll just start outside."

Kyo walked slowly to the door and saw a pack of wolves standing there together as if they were waiting for him. One wolf walked toward Kyo, the leader of the pack. Shigure, Trinity and Yuki froze at the door afraid to move. The wolf circled Kyo then threw its' head back and howled. The others joined in the mournful yet enchanting melody. The lead wolf had beautiful silver colored fur with black paws and muzzle, Golden eyes that almost seemed unreal and a brown tip on its tail. It pawed the ground where Kyo stood then the pack ran in to the woods leaving the wolf at Kyo's side. Kyo turned his head to the others, "I'm going you guys stay here and I'll be back soon. Oh and Yuki… When I get back I'm going to beat you once and for all got it?" Yuki smiled, "Don't get your hopes up stupid cat… I'll take care of Trinity because I don't what to be hit by Jackie." Trinity laughed. "You take care and I'll take car3e of things here now go." Shigure said calmly as he watched Kyo leave.
