Full Moon

Dear Readers,

This story could be considered a slight AU from the series, however it has a cool plot a Kenshin, Sanosuke pairing. I do not own RK however, I do allow my readers to use the basic ideas in these fics to create their own fics.

Sincerely Yours,

Prolog

Sanosuke ran his fingers through his hair nervously, he knew what was to be a month or so from tonight, the full moon again, he looked down nervously at his own reflection. Kenshin had told him how much he loved Sanosuke earlier, but Sanosuke had told him that he wasn't sure whether or not this was right. For you see, Sano had a secret that he was keeping away from Kenshin and the others, the truth. That he was a werewolf, a full blooded werewolf, and there was nothing he could do about it. The Captain had been the one that did it to him, though he knew he didn't mean to do it. It had been years ago on a night just like this, except it was a full moon....

.....

Sanosuke wanted to see the Captain because he'd always wanted to know why he was never allowed to see Captain Sagara on the full moon. Each time when it came, Sagara made sure he was alone, and never could be found. But, tonight, tonight he would see the Captain and why he was never around on these nights. As he snuck into the Captain's quarters he was shocked to find Sagara rolling around on the floor, only he was changing into something.... Soon, Sanosuke realized what it was he was becoming, but too late. The Captain glared at him with his now yellow eyes, before leaping out the front door, and running off. Sanosuke followed, and soon found what his Captain was doing, he was chasing a weakened man, hunting him.

As he realized that Captain Sagara had no control over himself, Sanosuke did the only thing he could, he flung himself in the Captain's direct path. "Captain, no! You don't want to hurt anyone!!!!",

The Captain turned upon him, knocking Sanosuke over, and began to tear at his flesh with razor sharp teeth. Sanosuke screamed in pain, but, soon, the sun rose, and Sagara sat there bare naked, looking in horror at what he'd done to Sanosuke. "Sanosuke, speak to me, Sanosuke.... Oh, what have I done, what have I?", Sagara whispered in horror.

"It's my fault, I didn't want you to get in trouble for killing this old man, so I decided I would die, not him.", Sanosuke told him, "You have cuts where I managed to hurt you myself, but....",

"Sanosuke, forgive me for putting my own curse on you, but I.... I don't want you to die because of me...",

With that, Sanosuke felt Sagara hugging him close to his own body, their blood mingling into one, then it came in a surge of blinding pain. Sanosuke felt his whole body burning hotter and hotter. "It'll be over by tonight, Sanosuke, when the moon shines full again, I'll make sure you live until then...",

Sanosuke woke suddenly it was night again he could tell, and he was laying next to a large, black wolf, much bigger than himself. The wolf regarded him wearily before standing up, and going to get a drink of water from a spot. Sanosuke followed, only to realize he too was a wolf, only just a younger, and smaller one. The wolf before him must be Captain Sagara.

It was during the evenings, and nights that the Captain and Sanosuke would meet so that Sanosuke could tell him what he knew was true at least for himself. "I can control it!", he said happily, "When I become a wolf, I can control the wolf half of myself.",

"You control it?", Sagara would say as if it were unbelievable.

"I control it, like last night I told myself I didn't want to jump on a rabbit, and I didn't...", Sanosuke said, "Captain? If you want me to, I could help you by making sure you stay out of trouble, and don't hurt anyone.",

"I would like nothing more than that....", Captain Sagara told him.

.....

Sanosuke looked at the moon, another month would come, and he'd be out prowling the forest again. Wondering about giving Kenshin the truth, because as all werewolves knew, hunters would do anything to get a werewolf into a trap by using someone they loved. He thought about this all the way up to the temple, but kept himself quiet.
