Yang Kaido

As Yang followed silently he began to fall more and more back from the group. His shyness was getting the better of him. Zaik was a wonderful person in his eyes, he had found him, guided him and brought him thus far but now he seemed to find someone interesting. According to he programming he would be watching he would be in the way as of now. However, then again usually after all was said in done he was never in the way at all. He'd have over thought it and instead there'd be a good moment with soft music, and ice cream would be given...

It was those thoughts that caused Yang, still looking down and slightly embarrassed, to fall a bit behind. His scent was still weak, after all he had no idea of what he was so it'd be easy for him to fade into a crowd. However there was a light that caught his eye and moreover an overpowering familiar scent that made its way past all the others.

He stopped suddenly and looked up, He could just barely make out the sight of Zaik walking with Kira but unfortunately he was already caught in this scent which caused him to stop and look off across the street to a small jewelry shop where he began to walk without his own knowledge of doing so.



he stated as he drifted off towards the shop He placed his hand against the glass, where beautiful pieces of intricate jewelry shined but his focus didn't remain there. The scent was everywhere. mixed with others but there none the less. His parents truly were a part of this town that he couldn't ignore. Their scent wasn't in the air it was in the foundations seeping up from where they'd worked arm and arm with the towns people. "We can't wait to show you this place when you're better son, it's really something special" Yang remembered his father saying.

As he stood there his head hung a little bit lower the thoughts of his parents faces wafting into his mind. His parents had loved this place and so should he. He was more certain than ever that this was his first clue. There would have to be information on his parents company somewhere, and he had to have some portion left of it...but where to find it? It would most likely be at the apartment.No issue there Zaik was guiding him...but where was Zaik?

Yang looked up realizing that now he was alone, lost he began to panic amongst the scen of others moving along but it was at that moment he could finally take notice of something. It was as if the rest of the world was tuned out as he remembered simply what Zaik "looked" like. A trail was in the air, the same color as Zaik's hair that led Yang through the crowd right to the source where the color came off of the males body. Yang found this as odd but at the same time as he found Zaik subconsciously he was sniffing the air, beside him the woman gave off a purple aura. What was he doing? He couldn't explain it but he had found this through them. He decided to keep quiet about it lest they thought he was some sort of weirdo, but he noted this strange ability to further explore later.

Kira nodded as he spoke. She had stopped looking at him and was watching where she walked. To some it may seem as if shes just staring at the ground but in her human form she has a tendency to trip over random objects. 'It's the shoes' she thought. 'I hate shoes. I can't feel the ground' she ranted. Kira nodded to the human comment. "Humans are a hassle. It is especially hard to explain to your human boyfriend why a pack of wolves stalk his house and look as if they want to eat him. In my old pack we liked to stay in our wolf form more often than not. We taught our young to walk amoung humans around the age of five before we sent them off to human schools. We had a whole village in the woods and people in town always thought we were wierd but whatever. I started to walk around in the mix with humans and my pack began questioning me considering I was beta it was only logical. The problem though was that I had a human boyfriend and he was the only human who ever knew exactly where to find our homes. (it had slipped out once). Not only that but we didn't have a mal beta so my parents, the alphas, set up an arranged marriage between me and the male beta of our rival pack. I knew they were hunting my human and I tried to warn him but I didn't want to mate with anyone yet and I had to run so I left and came here. My home is a few states away but thats fairly close for me. In my wolf form I am very agile and fast. It was one of the reasons why I've been trying to distance myself from humans. It's too much for me. I wouldn't be able to handle the stress of falling for another human. I hated lying to him all the time. I really need to stop talking. I'm not that interesting." she told him. Kira glanced at him from the corner of her eye while they walked side by side. She turned to look back at the other two with him. "You know if the festival doesn't work out we could always just go for a run. I really need to work on being in my human form." she explained.

lol that's okay. I was trying to slow down and wait for you to reply.

The girl introduced herself as Kira then revealed that she too was going in the same direction that they needed to go. James had simply stood to the side while they all interacted with one another. He noticed that the girl smelled like a wolf, so that made three wolves that he would have to observe. Kira was a little nervous when Zaik spoke to her but she soon warmed up to him, to the point that she was even flirting with him. This amused James immensely; it was as if it was mating season with the way they acted; wait no that wasn't the correct term. It looked like they were searching for mates but that wasn't it, this wasn't Europe anymore. Things were different, James needed to remember that the traditions here differed from his homeland.

Yang finally spoke up after a while, getting a little excited when the girl said she too was going in the same direction as they were. It was nice to see the quiet boy becoming more alive and happy. The young one had been giving off a solemn vibe for a while now, but now it was more happy. After the introductions were done, the four of them headed to their destination, with Zaik in the lead.

As they walked, James noticed how the two quickly ended up in the front, alone with each other. They were pretty far to hear, for a regular human that is... James was able to hear every word they had said and it amused him. Seemed like they would end up as mates after all; they both had a liking to each other after all. He remained silent, and continued to smile, acting like an oblivious human while he was making himself more familiar with the area. After a while, Zaik suddenly spoke to him, asking whether he was okay or not.

"I'm right behind you! I was quiet because I didn't want to interrupt you two lovebirds. You looked like you were having so much fun whispering sweet nothings to each other. Ah! I'm so jealous of you Zaik! You easily made Kira fall for you, but I can't blame her since you are a handsome individual," James said teasingly and dramatically.

He laughed before wrapping his arm around Yang's shoulder.

"Don't they make the most wonderful couple?" James asked until he sighed suddenly, "Yang! We single men need to stick together. Zaik will probably forget about us because he is so madly in love!" James continued, laughing afterwards.

((Gah that is not how I wanted him to react at all, bleh. Why does my mind change things like that so suddenly? XD Sorry if he came off assish, I didn't intend for him to.))

Kira sighed and took another deep breath before she ran to catch up with Zaik. She felt sort of defeated and broken. It took alot for her to apologise or admit she's wrong but in this case she felt like she needed to. Kira touched his arm to get his attention. Her face was sad and an apology clear in her eyes. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have reacted that way." she whispered taking her hand back and looking at her feet as she walked. She took another deep breath. "I guess I kind of felt like a slut for flirting but it's just how I act, sometimes and no one has ever told me no or shut me down or anything of that nature. Can you understand why I got defensive? I mean I'd like to be friends but I'm really bad with first impressions. Forgive me?" she asked in a quiet, sad, shy voice. It was really hard for her to be this open but she felt it was needed. She really wanted to have friends in a place where she had no family. Kira stopped walking so he could think about her words she didn't really want an answer right away. Kira fell in step with Yang and took his hand for support. She really needed the warmth and comfort of a friend and she had a feeling Yang would be good for that. Kira leaned her head on his shoulder. "Hey, if you need a place to stay theres an extra bedroom in my apartment,Yang. As long as you clean up after yourself I really don't care. I'd like the company as well but its all your decision, sweety. I won't ask you to do something you don't want to do. Just let me know okay?" she said kindly. Kira hoped she might find a friend in Yang. Maybe she'd even help him meet girls and make more friends in town.

Kira gave his hand a squeeze. "No need to be shy around me I'm just a friend. I won't hurt you, honey. I promise. I could help you talk to girls too if you'd like that." she told him warmly. Kira was really tired. it had been a long day day for her. She needed to find a job soon. Maybe in one of the clothing stores or something. She sighed quietly. "I think I'm going to spend most of the day tomorrow in the woods running around and learning the territory would you like to join me." she asked Yang before turning to the group as a whole and asking again "All of you are welcome. I like you guys." she said to include them in the conversation.
