Story: Insecure Werewolf

 

Today could get fucked. Nothing had gone right. She had a plan in mind for everything, and it had all gone awry. Now, here she was, laying in the middle of the street, barely conscious while a pair of goddamn monsters were fighting it out not too far away. Taniko let out a pathetic little whimper of pain, and - Urgh! What the hell was going on, anyway? And what was that glowing thing on the ground nearby...?

That's when she felt it. Something deep inside her body began to rumble and change. She pushed herself up onto her hands and knees, as something utterly bizarre started to happen. Looking at her hands, she could see fur growing all over it. Thick, black, shaggy hairs. Her nails grew to twice, three times, four times their length and became razor sharp in an instant. She could feel a similar change happening elsewhere - her nose becoming a snout, the teeth in her mouth becoming pronounced, especially the canines. Her back arched in a way a human's couldn't, cloth tore as her body and frame became bigger, meatier, more muscular and powerful.

She knew what was happening already. She'd seen the results right there in front of her. She was transforming, just like they had! Those two beasts were people like her, and -

Taniko sniffed. The one that had saved her was being pinned down by the other. He could have escaped. Could have slipped away. Could have left her to her fate to protect himself, but instead he had stayed.

<i>Mate</i>.

The word made her lick her lips with anticipation, and the next thing she knew she was dropkicking the brute off <i>her mate</i>, then somersautling to land next to him on the ground. The other monster flexed its claws and its muscles, while <i>her mate</i> rose to his feet and stood by her. The two of them growled menacingly. Even a skilled fighter would be wary of tackling two opponents at once - if anything, a truly skilled fighter would rather back off than fight more than one non-fighter at the same time. Too risky. Too much to watch for, impossible to block all attacks and a lucky blow... especially with those claws... would only end badly for them.

Thus, the brute slunk off and the pair of them let him leave. Taniko sniffed the air. He was truly retreating. Alone. A lone wolf. Whoever he was, he had assessed it was not worth the risk to his own life to continue fighting.

"Thank you..." her <i>mate</i> grumbled next to her, and then moved to leave - so she jumped in his way. "We're... even... now..." he said, but that's not how she saw it. They weren't even yet. Not by a long shot. She had a few other things to do to make it up to him...

<hr>

For some reason, Hyosuke felt amazing this morning. When the sun hit his face, he felt a real sense of... something. Satisfaction. Contentment. Ahhhh, his entire body felt relaxed and, do you know, he'd not been this unwound in a long, long time. He almost couldn't help but wonder why - 

"Morning," said the love of his life, lying naked next to him. "Uh, so! About last night."

"Last night..." Hyosuke muttered, and then fully opened his eyes to take things in. Right now, he was laying underneath a bush in the middle of the public park. Naked. Nude. Bereft of attire. Next to a woman he'd fallen in love with at first sight. Who was in a similar state as he!

Of course, he looked away immediately. Oh gosh! That wasn't proper at all!

"Um! H-How did - I didn't mean to - I mean..." he mumbled incoherently, feeling himself getting redder and redder as time passed by.

"I don't quite remember what happened very clearly," Taniko said. "But... I think I might have started it, and really liked it, so... What was your name again?"

His name was mud! He remembered now! Last night he'd - he'd transformed into a werewolf! Ah! He must have done something beastly and ghastly to her in that form. Taken her against her will! There's no way, no how, that a guy as lowly as him could wind up with someone as wonderful as her! Nope! It simply didn't work out that way!

"I'm sorry!" he cried, and then made a break for it. Ohhh, but he didn't have any clothes! Nor did she, come to it. They were both going to get arrested for public indecency!

"No, wait!" Taniko called out. "I wanted to... Oh darn, he was really cute too. And... god, those abs. Huh. Actually, come to think, I have abs too now...? Is that a werewolf thing, or...?"

Of course, our cute little insecure werewolf heard not a bit of that. He was too busy getting the fuck out of there! Home. he had to get home, had to get there before - 

Cloth was dropped over his head. On reflex, he lashed out at whoever dropped it on him. After waking up like that, he was in panic mode! Quite understandable really, all things considered.

"Ow! Hey!" a familiar voice yelped in pain. "Serves me right for doing you a favour, huh?"

"Shusui?" Hyosuke asked. "Is that you...?"

"Yeah, it is," Shusui replied. "Come on, let's get you covered up and back home before anyone sees you. The hell happened to you last night anyway?"

The hell happened indeed! Hyosuke meekly allowed himself to be led home, where he'd have to face the music and try to explain to his roomies what had happened. Which might be a touch difficult as he couldn't exactly remember that himself!

"Apparently there were some wolves running amok in the city," Shusui said. "Good thing you didn't run into them while you were out there starkers, or they might have had your tackle off. Apparently the police are looking for them now, and trying to figure out how the hell wolves that size got into the city and vanished. Come on, I'll show you the news when we get home."
