Author's Note: Yet another raw fic. What is a `raw' fic you ask? Well raw is any of my fics that were written over three years ago and are in need of revising, but because I'm a review whore, I'm posting it anyway, that and if anyone has suggestions, I can add them to the revised version. The opening line of this fic was voted by my high school friends as `the best opening fanfic line ever'. o.o ooook. This story used to be a double feature type fic, two fics with the same theme under one label, but they have been combined.

Ok, I will now describe shapeshifting cycles according to this fic, because people have said that they keep forgetting it. *sigh*

There are four types of forms that a shapeshifter can take.

Animal: This occurs before the full moon where the individual simply turns into a large version of the animal they are cursed/infected by, in other words, a large wolf for werewolves like Princess Mononoke.

Hybrid Animal: This occurs during the full moon in which the person takes on a hybrid half animal half human form in which the animal is dominant. In other words, what horror movies show with werewolves, the bipedial wolf that has no control over its blood lust.

Hybrid Human: This occurs after the full moon. The person's shape is more humanoid and they have full control, but they will have a few animal characteristics like being covered in fur and having tails. The night of the New Moon is the only night where absolutely nothing will happen. The night of the Full Moon is when the moon's pull is the strongest and it is impossible for the person not to change. As the full moon starts to wane and the new moon starts to wax, the moon's pull becomes less and less and the person has more control over whether they change or not. After and before the night of the full moon, it is possible for a person not to change, but the closer to the full moon it is, the more painful it is not to change. However, the person will always have super strength and extra senses no matter what form they are in.

This chapter is really just the prologue and is rather short. I have a few of these short chapters written from years ago. After that, they should get larger as back then I wrote very short chapters, but now not so much.

Chapter 1: The Medicine

 

Duo smelled like sex. That wasn't a fact that Heero's imagination had created, it was the truth, his partner smelled like sex. He practically reeked of pheromones, so spending a few hours with him was enough to get a permanent hard on. That was why, when they had roomed together at the various schools they had to go to, Heero had been sure that his attraction was sexual in nature. He still wasn't sure. How could one tell if they were in love or lust? Since Duo was also his best friend, it was difficult to sort out those feelings.

Duo and Heero were hiding out in a safe house in New Hampshire. For once it was just the two of them and, fortunately for Heero, they had separate rooms so he wasn't going completely crazy. Aside from the `smells like sex' thing and the `my partner is beautiful and makes me want to fuck him into the floor' thing, Heero and Duo were getting along pretty well. It had taken a long time since they had first met to grow out of the rival side of their relationship to the best friend side they were in right now and it had taken a lot trials for Heero to get himself to admit that he needed a best friend at all, but here they were, stuck in a safe house, in total harmony with each other. It was not a scene he could have imagined when he first fell to earth. They had just finished a mission and OZ was frantic to find them, so for now they were just laying low. Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei were in England somewhere, waiting for their next orders and both Duo and Heero were eager to see the rest of the team again as it had been months. Right now, the two of them were just trying to keep busy.

They had been hiding out for five days now and the full moon was coming, but that shouldn't be a problem. As the sun set through the window of Heero's bedroom, he started to shake. It was coming. It was like a heart attack, every muscle tensed and his chest was tight. Pain was in his very bones and he could feel his heart racing. The moon was silver and glasslike in the dark sky. He wanted to run, leave this place, feel the grass underneath his feet and see if his voice could reach that beautiful orb. It was time. Before the bestial pull got too strong, Heero grabbed the med kit from under his bed and took out a sealed syringe and a bottle of golden colored liquid. He had done this hundreds of times before and it was almost like a reflex. Tear open the package. Take out needle. Make sure needle is clean. Puncture top of bottle with needle. Fill up needle half way. Get rid of any air bubbles. Sterilize skin. Puncture skin above the vein. Inject serum. Try not to scream as said serum burns through blood stream. Feel muscles contract painfully for several hours. Finally sigh in relief when everything returns back to normal.

Except, this time, Heero only got to `puncture skin above vein' when he heard Duo's voice.

“Heero… what are you doing?” Duo asked from the doorway, his voice filled with fear, anger, and uncertainty. How the hell did he do that? Heero wondered. Duo was the only one who could ever sneak up him like that. It was like he was made of nothing more than vapor, yet there was that smell again that set his blood on fire. The animal in him wanted to claim him, wanted to taste his smooth skin and hear his heated cries…

Heero looked down at himself and finally saw what Duo was seeing. He was sitting cross legged on the floor with a needle sticking out of his arm. The beast was starting emerge, sniffing around, smelling Duo's unique smell and yearning…

In one swift move, Heero pushed the plunger down and the searing liquid moved through his body. He was on fire, but he only grunted and yanked the needle out a bit harder than he needed to, sealing it in a plastic bag for disposal. The last thing he needed was someone accidentally contaminating themselves with his blood. Duo watched all of this with wide violet eyes. Heero loved that color.

The beast slowly vanished from Heero's consciousness and he tried his best to ignore the muscle spasms as he body abruptly stopped transforming. It had been close this time. He had waited too long and the beast had had time to poke its head out, not by much, but enough that Heero had been aware of its presence.

“Hn. I'm taking vitamins J prescribed me,” Heero lied, “can I help you with something,” he said a little bit colder than he had intended and he watched in sadness as Duo's eyes hardened. This was the dance they played sometimes. Heero would get defensive about Duo getting so close inside of his defenses and he would close himself off and act like he didn't care which would make Duo defensive and close off in his own way. It happened less and less, but when it did, it was painful to be a part of.

“Ok,” Duo said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes and Heero could tell that Duo didn't really believe him. He wanted to, but was still suspicious. Heero didn't blame him, if he saw Duo like this, he would be suspicious as well. Duo turned and left Heero's room, his long braid flicking like a tail behind him. Heero's sensitive nose picked up the scent of that wonderful hair; vanilla, cinnamon, and apple shampoo mixed in with Duo's natural scent of heavy pheromones and the clear light smell of spring rain. Heero fought to contain a growl. Perhaps the beast wasn't as contained as Heero had thought. Or maybe it was his own hormones. The image of Duo's slim back and firm butt as he had left burned into his mind. He leaned against the bed, his muscles still tense and painful. He allowed himself to drift to sleep.
