***** Taken and Changed *****
                  A Surviving Fox - Ch.1 - Taken and Changed
A young male fox swiftly moved making its way through the forest. He was fast
and agile as he tried to make his way to his destination. If someone was to see
him they would be quite confused because he had a backpack hooked over his
shoulder that rested tightly on his back while he was in fox form. The bag
contained within it the school supplies that he needed for the day. As he ran
the forest remained completely quiet excluding the sounds of his small feet as
he continued on through the thick brush. He suddenly stopped running and
crouched down when he sensed what he had been looking for. His tail swished
back and forth as he moved silently forward while staying in a crouched
position.
Not far in front of him, a small rabbit was chewing on some grass. Of course,
it did not notice his eyes paying careful attention as he watched every move it
made. Analyzing the creature carefully before he would finally make his move.
Suddenly he kicked his back feet pouncing out of the brush. In a matter of
seconds, he had the rabbit's neck in his mouth and had instinctively twisted it
neck snapping it cleanly. He dropped it to the ground so that he could eat a
small amount of it before he picked it back up and began running back in the
direction that he had come from.
He ran back and quickly arrived at a small hole leading him under a large tree.
He set the rabbits body down on a pile of 2 other small animals before he
turned and left. He ran as quickly as he could from the small den because he
still had to get to school, although, he did stop at the lake nearby first to
rinse the fur around his face free of the smaller animals blood. Once he had
done that he quickly left on his way out of the forest. While he was running he
found the human-made path that he had been looking for since it led him
straight to the school. Luckily for him it wasn't usually used by people so he
could use it without having to worry about humans.
As he was walking he heard a noise coming from up ahead. Quickly he ducked into
the bush but came out when he saw who it was. It was a human, but he knew that
this one was safe to be around because he would not hurt him. Hibari was never
that nice to humans but he always treated animals with respect and care. When
he realized that the teen was still asleep he walked over to where he was
resting. He stood beside him and looked down noticing that the prefect was
moving slightly in his sleep. He heard a beep come from the bag on his back and
nudged the teen's arm gently. The man woke up looking angry but the anger
quickly subsided when he noticed what had woken him. Once Tsuna knew that the
teen was awake he continued on his way since classes were going to start in
about 5 more minutes.
===============================================================================
 He could see the school through the trees now as he ran as quickly as he
could. When he reached the school he jumped up on a box that was underneath a
window. He looked in through the window to check for any people inside before
he opened it and jumped in. He closed it before quickly making his way unseen
through the school and into the bathroom. Once in the men's bathroom, he closed
himself in a stall. He maneuvered the bag from his neck dropping it lightly on
the ground before he began his shift.
It was quick and painless as he returned to his human form. He just needed to
finish his last year of high school and then he could leave this horrible
place. Since his change, Tsuna had grown to hate humans. He was a skinwalker*
and really he didn't want to stay anywhere near humans since they were
extremely dangerous to his kind. Yet at the same time, he wanted to at least
finish school before leaving his mother and father. They had been extremely
worried when suddenly he had returned home after having been missing for a
year. They were so worried that when he finally returned home he told himself
he wouldn't be able to leave again until after school was done. Because he knew
that it would break his mother if he left again anytime soon. Yet at the same
time, he knew that he couldn't stay with them forever. He knew that time was
ticking and had he had a feeling that he wouldn’t be able to remain here for as
long as he wished.
Tsuna was scared of humans and knew that no matter how his parents felt he
didn't belong with them anymore. So he had decided on leaving them when he
finally got threw that year of school. Yet even with the conclusion, he had
come to he still hated the fear caused by the memories of when he had been
taken.
===============================================================================
                                  Flash Back
===============================================================================
                                        
He had been on his way home from Kyoko's house after doing their assignment
together when he was attacked. He wasn't even given enough time to think before
a cloth was forced over his mouth and he felt something digging in to his neck.
After passing out when he had woken up again he was a small fur covered animal
and was locked up in a small dog cage. He hadn't the slightest clue of what had
happened to him or of what was going on.
His entire body was in pain as he moved to get a look out the front of the
cage. His ears twitched when he heard a door open before someone started
walking towards him. He backed up as quickly as he could when the door to the
cage was opened. He heard the person say his name as if calling for him,
"Tsunayoshi come here."
Tsuna refused to even budge from his spot out of fear until the voice had
lowered in pitch and said it more sternly, "Tsunayoshi come here...NOW!"
Tsuna walked out of the cage quickly even more scared about what was going to
happen to him now then he was before. He was fearful of the pain that would
come if he refused the man's order. The second he was out of the cage he felt a
collar tightly secured around his neck. Then the man very gently picked him up
while rubbing his head in a petting motion. The man set him down after hooking
a leash to the collar, "Change."
Tsuna didn't understand what the man wanted from him. The man sighed before
clarifying what he meant, "Return to your human form boy before you make me
angry."
Tsuna didn't understand what the man wanted still but was scared so he still
decided to give it a try. He closed his eyes and before he knew it his body was
back to normal. He whimpered when he felt the man tug on the leash, "Come
here."
Tsuna was about to stand up when the man's foot knocked him back down, "Did I
say you could stand up? Now crawl."
              18+***Sexual content below*** Story continues after
Tsuna crawled over to him in tears as the man sat down on the bed provided in
the room and unbuckled his pants. He looked down at Tsuna who cried, even more,
starting to understand what the man wanted. The man smirked as Tsuna crawled
closer and reached up towards him. Tsuna was very lucky that the man had guided
his hands to where they were needed to be. Because he didn't think that he
would have been able to do it himself otherwise.
Tsuna unzipped his pants as he pulled the man's length free of its constraints.
Tsuna stopped suddenly when he saw how large the other was. He questioned in
fear, "Why are you forcing me to do this?"
The man smirked, "Shut your mouth. You're mine and I'll do what I want to do
with you."
Tsuna cried out when he heard the man claim that he owned him. He was even more
scared now then he had been before, "But...but why?"
He stopped when suddenly the man's mouth was directly beside his ear whispering
to him, "Because I created you to be my mate. You're special. You survived my
bite."
Tsuna felt the mans hands disgustingly rubbing down the back of his naked body.
He felt the man grab at his tail and was very surprised because he didn't know
that it was even out. Yet even with all the fear coursing through his body it
felt great as the man stroked and rubbed it giving it special attention. Due to
the sheer amount of pleasure that the man was causing him he hadn't even notice
being flipped so that his back was on the bed. Both of the mans hands were
currently busy as Tsuna writhed in pleasure unwillingly from the way the man
touched him. He couldn't fully control his body so he was only half shifted
allowing his tail and ears to be seen along with his fangs. This was the worst
possible thing because for him at that moment they were the most sensitive
parts. On a Fox Skinwalker his tail and ears are the most pleasurable spots on
his body and the older more mature Skinwalker knew this.
While the man was rubbing around Tsuna's ears his other hand reached over the
edge of the bed into the nightstand where he grabbed a small bottle. He
squeezed a generous amount of the cold substance on his fingers before he
slipped lower so that his finger was at Tsuna’s entrance. There was no warning
before it was pushed inside quickly. Not leaving much time for Tsuna to adjust
another finger was added and then another. Tsuna felt uncomfortably full until
the man removed his fingers. Before Tsuna could say anything he was flipped
over with his face now being shoved into the bed. His hands were held behind
his back as the larger male pounded into him roughly and heartlessly.
Tsuna was given no chance to fight for freedom as the man dragged him back over
to where there were a ton of dog kennels he hadn't seen before. He was shoved
down on his hands and knees "Change now."
Tsuna looked at him, "How?"
The man smirked as he grabbed a remote from the shelf, "I'm sure you'll figure
it out." He pressed a button as Tsuna screamed in pain from the shock he had
just received.
He could feel the electricity running through his body as he dropped on to his
side. The man looked to the side where there was currently another male
standing. The man looked at Tsuna with a smirk, "Sir, what about the one shock
rule."
The man holding Tsuna’s leash smiled, "Ah, I almost forgot he didn't listen
after the first shock so now he must be punished for his actions."
Both men looked down at Tsuna suddenly with large creepy smirks now plastered
on their faces, "Sir, I'll do it for you."
The man holding Tsuna's leash shook his head, "No that's okay. He's my bride
and it is his first day so I shall handle it myself. Please leave me alone with
him now."
"Yes, Sir." The second man left quickly before Tsuna was suddenly dragged
across the room roughly by the man who had violated him earlier that night.
Tsuna wasn't given any time to think as he was told to get up on the stand. Out
of fear of what would happen if he refused he got up on to the stand as quickly
as he could. It was made of ice cold metal that made him start to shake from
simply touching it. He was suddenly flipped over and had his hands locked above
his head. Along with that, he had his head hooked to the metal of the stand by
the collar around his neck. The man left for a few minutes before returning
with a few items. A ballgag was shoved in Tsuna's mouth as the man smiled,
"This is your punishment for disobeying me. My house has a very strict rule of
one shock until punishment. You don't get a warning here."
Tsuna felt something foreign enter him and it caused him to cry out. He was
already hurting so bad from the earlier pounding he received. From what he
could tell they were two little metal beads and a very tightly pushed in
vibrator; it wasn't too bad until they started vibrating. He screamed out from
the pleasure he was feeling. But it stopped being pleasurable when something
was slid around him and locked on tight. He looked down to see a cock ring
placed on his member. The man beside him smiled evilly as he held up another
small remote. He pressed the button and the cock ring also began to vibrate.
Tsuna cried in bliss from the feeling until he started feeling uncomfortable
from not being able to release.
He was there for such a long time with all these feeling before the man
returned after leaving the room a little earlier. He came over and saw the
tears dripping down Tsuna's face. He leaned his face down right next to Tsuna's
and whispered into his ear, "Ask me to let you release. Say 'Master please
allow me to come.' beg me for it and just maybe I'll help you."
Tsuna was in tears from the pain that not being able to release caused. But he
still refused to give in to the what the man wanted him to do. The man left the
room again and didn't return until another 20 minutes had gone by. Even though
he had only been gone for 20 minutes for Tsuna it had felt like an eternity.
The second he entered the room the man went to Tsuna again and ran his hand up
his side, "Say it."
Tsuna broke down due to the sheer need to release, "Master, please allow me to
come."
The man smirked, "I think after the disrespect you showed me a while ago it
needs to be a little better than that."
The man leaned down and whispered into Tsuna's ear. Tsuna just gasped when he
heard what he needed to ask for now. But was instantly saying it without any
second thoughts. The need was too much, "Master please fuck me."
Tsuna felt the vibrator pulled out and expected the beads to be pulled free
next but they weren't. Suddenly he felt the man's member inside him moving the
vibrating beads around inside his body. The man continued to fuck Tsuna until
his own release was close. Then he removed the cock ring allowing Tsuna to
release all over the bed. His muscles tightened causing the man to release
inside just pushing Tsuna that much higher over the edge. Tsuna passed out from
the stress it caused on his body.
                          ***End of Sexual content***
That happened the entire year Tsuna was gone. The man had changed him for his
own personal use. Against all of his wishes and now he had been suffering. One
night almost a year after being changed, Tsuna had passed out from how roughly
he had been treated. The man must have passed out too because Tsuna was still
unhooked when he woke up and they were still lying together in bed. There was
no choice involved at all as he moved around shifting before he bit the mans
windpipe out. It was instant death and Tsuna quickly ran trying to get as far
away as he could afterwards.

                                Flash Back End
===============================================================================
                                        
Tsuna returned to his human form easily as he stood up and got dressed. He was
so use to his daily routine of sneaking in that it was just normal. It had
become a part of his regular everyday life. He grabbed his bag after making
sure his uniform was perfect. He knew he was more than likely going to run into
Hibari on his way to class and would be bitten to death if his outfit was not
perfectly in order.
As he had guessed Hibari had walked passed him on his way to class without
saying a single thing. He smiled opening the door and headed on in.
School was finally over as Tsuna exited the building and headed to the path
back to his home. It was easiest to cut through the forest to get to his house.
Not to mention that it was also in the direction of his group's den if he
needed to take off. Most people would think that as a fox Skinwalker he would
be a solitary animal since foxes were not pack animals, but actually, he
wasn't. Skinwalkers from what he knew were all alike in the idea that they
liked to stay together in packs or in his case a Skulk**. It was something
Skinwalkers naturally did for safety. Because humans would in many cases try
and kill them if they were alone.
It took quite a bit of running to get to his den with how far into the forest
it was. It was completely solitary and free of any humans. Although that den
was just a temporary one until school was over. The real den was at least a
week's travel from any humans. Tsuna had grown to really fear humans because he
wasn't able to condition himself to get over the fear in the timeframe it was
possible due to being held, prisoner. A skinwalker could only remove that fear
within the first 6 months after their initial change. Yet even with how scared
he was of people he had learned to cope with it. Tsuna may have chosen to live
as a fox side after school was over but that wasn’t to say he couldn’t live
with humans for a little longer. Although he had decided to stay until
graduation was over he would be leaving right afterward. After school was over
he would definitely be gone for good.
Tsuna sighed as he heard a loud howl from farther down the pathway. He ran
foreword to see Hibari fighting a wolf. He knew from experience that the animal
was a werewolf. He knew this was extremely dangerous as he ran forward. He
yelled out trying to get the wolf's attention to see fear in the female's eyes.
Instantly he knew that it was a newly changed wolf which made the situation
even worse. He ran forward too late as it freaked out slashing deeply into
Hibari's chest. Hibari may have been strong but even he couldn't handle a newly
changed werewolf. The wolf looked at him and Tsuna quickly shifted running over
to block its path, "Stop."
The wolf looked at him, "Why should I trust you?"
Tsuna looked at the bleeding out Hibari and knew he didn't have much time, "You
don't have to trust me then leave. There's a pack of your kind about 500 km to
the east of this area. They should accept you there."
The wolf seemed to choose to believe him and left quickly on her way. Muttering
thanks quickly as she left. Tsuna changed back the second that she had left.
His clothing was still on him since his shift hadn't been for too long. He
moved so he was sitting beside Hibari, "Stay awake."
Hibari looked at him, "Tsunayoshi Sawada. Why are you here?"
Tsuna smiled, "I was going home."
Hibari smirked, "Idiot its dangerous back here. It's not a place for herbivores
to be."
Tsuna sighed, "I know I can see that."
Hibari sighed clearly in a lot of pain, "What was that?"
Tsuna sighed, "A wolf."
Hibari was confused, "But it spoke to me."
Tsuna sighed, "It was a stupid wolf."
Hibari breathed in heavily, "Am I dying. Because this is the worst pain I have
felt in a long time."
Tsuna smiled at the way he put it as he felt tears drip from his eyes, "I'm
sorry to say it but the injuries to bad to be fixed by a doctor."
Hibari frowned, "I don't really feel like dying."
Tsuna looked down not expecting someone as strong as Hibari to say it. But he
guessed everyone would have a fear of death to some extent. Tsuna looked at
Hibari asking a question that had a very obvious answer, "Do you really want to
live? No matter what it will take?"
Hibari coughed blood up as he heard that, "That's a stupid question
herbivore…." He coughed roughly before he finished what he was trying to say,
"Of course"
Tsuna smiled at him before he quickly shifted beside the teenager. He crawled
on top of Hibari before he bit his neck. It was the best place to bite due to
the artery. Suddenly Hibari screamed in pain which didn't surprise Tsuna. He
waited and stayed with him until the pain seemed to go away. There was no proof
Hibari would survive the change. But after a few hours of waiting and watching,
Tsuna was sure he would. He smiled at Hibari as he curled up beside him to keep
him warm expecting him to be changed when he wakes up.

                   A Surviving Fox - Ch.2 - The First Shift
Hibari was dazed as he began to move around. Yet even that was definitely a
mistake as severe pain began to radiate throughout his entire body. When the
pain finally subsided slightly he opened his eyes and saw something moving
across the grass. He tried to stand up only to fall from a strange loss of
balance and a sharp pain that radiated throughout his whole body.
He groggily looked around the area as he stayed lying flat understanding that
he couldn't really move around too much now. he looked at his hands but saw two
black fur covered paws. He forced himself up onto his legs out of surprise. Yet
he lost his balance again and ended up bumping into something behind him. He
quickly flipped around to see what he had touched when he noticed a very
familiar orange coat. It was the fox that had woke him up that morning. The one
that he was sure he had seen many times before that morning around the school.
He moved closer to the fox when he noticed it was asleep. He nudged it gently
with his paw in an attempt to wake it up. The fox opened its eyes quickly and
sat up. Its ears moved and its tail swished as it listened for any sign of
danger around.
When it finished checking for any danger it glanced at Hibari before it stood
up and moved towards him, "Hibari-san are you okay?"
Hibari took a few seconds to respond after realizing the fox had just spoke,
"What happened?"
He looked at Hibari as he stood up and headed to his bag. He grabbed it in his
mouth and walked behind a tree. He shifted and quickly got dressed before he
walked back out to see the black and gray fox, "You almost died."
Hibari must have been surprised because he said nothing. Tsuna just stayed
quiet while he went to grab the older teens cloths. He turned back to Hibari
once he had picked them up, "Hibari-san here."
Hibari snapped at Tsuna, "What am I suppose to do with that. I'm a Fox."
Tsuna sighed. He was a little annoyed by the tone of Hibari’s voice when he
yelled at him, "You can shift back. I'm sure you'll be able to do it. All you
have to do is imagine that you're back in your old body."
Hibari didn't like the idea of doing what the kid had told him to do. But at
the same time, he did want his human body back so he listened. He closed his
eyes and began to imagine a picture of his normal body in his mind. A few
seconds later he opened them to see his hands stretched out in front of his
face. Tsuna blushed at seeing Hibari's naked form before he handed him his
pants. He held the shredded shirt up, "We need to find you another shirt."
Hibari turned once he was dressed and started walking, "I don't care I'm
leaving."
Tsuna sighed and walked over to him. He reached up above Hibari's head and
touched his ear causing the older to stop, "Your ears are out."
Tsuna took the elders hand not scared of him in the slightest. He could take on
any newborn fox. He pushed the elder down in the grass, "Just stay here and
watch my stuff I'll be back with something else for you to wear."
Hibari would have growled and argued. But before he was given the chance Tsuna
set his stuff down and turned shifting back into his fox form as he jumped back
running in the opposite direction. It didn't even take a minute before all
traces of the orange fox were gone. Hibari groaned from the pain he was still
in as he just decided to wait.
===============================================================================
 
Tsuna ran at a face pace reaching the edge of town quickly. He sneaked around
until he found Kyoko's house; her brother was currently in the backyard working
out. Tsuna jumped the fence and ran over to Ryohei, "Nii-san"
Ryohei looked down at Tsuna, "What's up to the extreme Tsuna?"
Tsuna stopped when he was next to Ryohei, "I need to borrow a shirt from you."
Ryohei laughed at Tsuna's request finding it to be quite funny, "I don't think
I have anything that would fit you."
Tsuna just sighed in response, "It's not for me."
Ryohei nodded and then quickly headed into the house. In a few minutes, he came
out with a black shirt, "Here this should work then."
Ryohei quickly tied it around Tsuna's neck since that was the only way for him
to carry it. Once he was sure it was tight Tsuna turned to leave yelling,
"Thanks" as he jumped over the fence.
Tsuna was sure that with the size of the shirt that it would fit the black
haired prefect. Well, he was really hoping that it would fit him because if it
didn't he would have to run somewhere else for a second shirt. He ran as
quickly as he could back to where he had left the elder. Yet it took quite a
bit longer because more people were on the roads now. He had to be a lot more
careful because all he really needed to do right now was to go and get hit by a
car.
When he finally got back he thought that Hibari had fallen asleep again. Yet
the black haired prefect sat up right away when he came out of the brush. He
walked up to Hibari and sat down, "Can you untie it?"
Hibari wasn't expecting Tsuna to say that but after thinking about it for a
second it made sense so he reached out and untied it from the fox's neck,
"Where did you get this?"
Tsuna shifted back the second that Hibari had untied the shirt from his neck.
Luckily he hadn't been transformed long enough to lose his clothes so he was
still fully dressed, "I borrowed it from a friend."
Hibari stood up and slid the shirt on. It fit him surprisingly well and the
hood it had very easily covered his ears. When Tsuna noticed he was okay he
headed for the forest after picking his stuff up, Hibari look at him, "Where
are you going?"
Tsuna looked back, "I thought you were okay so I was leaving."
Hibari looked at him, "You don't think you should explain a little more?"
Tsuna stopped and turned around, "About what?"
Hibari just stared at him for a second not expecting such a dumb question,
"EVERYTHING!"
Tsuna looked at him, "From what I could tell before you wanted nothing to do
with me. I thought that you were leaving."
Hibari made an annoyed noise. Tsuna sighed before a smile made its way on to
his face. He set his bag down so that he could shift. Once he was shifted he
slid his neck back into the strap and tightened it so that he wouldn't get
tripped up by the bag. He took a step towards the forest and then glanced back
at Hibari, "Come."
Tsuna started running and Hibari ran behind him still in human form. Tsuna
laughed to himself noticing that before yelling back to him, "You should shift.
It makes it easier to run, also it will make it so that we can go faster."
Hibari said really annoyed at the laughing he could hear in Tsuna’s voice.
Tsuna knew how much he hated talking with people yet still was teasing him. If
he had that choice then he would have left the teen right then for being such a
smart ass. Yet he knew that he couldn't. He needed Tsunayoshi to get through
what was currently going on with his body, "How?"
Tsuna stopped running and turned to look at the other teen, "Just close your
eyes and imagine it."
Tsuna looked ahead of them and then back to see Hibari as a black and gray fox.
He turned facing forward again, "Can we go now?"
Hibari nodded annoyed by Tsuna's snappy tone. Tsuna was irritated because he
still needed to catch something to eat.Hibari was very annoyed from his place
behind Tsuna. He found running on 4 legs to not be as easy as the brunette made
it look. Tsuna made it look like it was as easy as breathing. While no matter
how hard Hibari tried to stay up he was having a rather hard time. Suddenly he
saw Tsuna stop and duck down. He whispered so quietly that Hibari could barely
hear him, "Stay back."
Tsuna moved slowly forward as his tail swished back and forth. He disappeared
into the forest ahead of him as Hibari stayed quiet in his spot just watching.
Hibari saw a flash of orange jumping ahead before there was a loud squeal and
then silence. He ran forward thinking that it had been Tsuna getting hurt. When
he got to where Tsuna was he saw the orange fox with a dead rabbit firmly
trapped between his teeth. The blood dripped down the small fuzzy animal's body
as Tsuna glanced at Hibari. Hibari went closer, "What are you doing to that
rabbit?"
Tsuna looked back at him slightly annoyed, "I'm hunting like foxes do normally.
Do you want some?"
Tsuna didn't get an answer but also he hadn't really been expecting for the
older to respond. He never thought Hibari would actually want some of the
rabbit. Tsuna lowered it and gripped it between his paws, and then began
pulling at it eating the meat as he separated it the best he could from its
fur. Tsuna glanced at Hibari who seemed like he was thoroughly disgusted by
what he had just done. He decided to play dumb about it, though, "What's
wrong?"
Hibari said what he was thinking very bluntly, "That's disgusting."
Tsuna dug a hole burying the bones and what was left of the meat on rabbits
dead body, "It's what some must do to survive and it taste pretty good
actually."
"But you're a human and you live with your parents. You can stay home and eat
with them. There is no reason for you to be eating something that gross." said
Hibari still completely disgusted by the idea.
Tsuna shook his head, "I don't want to be near them more then I have to be. I
hate humans."
Hibari was slightly taken back at the look on Tsuna's face "But you are a
human?"
Tsuna turned and started running again. They still had quite a ways left to
run. While they we're running Tsuna muttered quietly, "You wouldn't
understand."
Hibari was completely disgusted by the dead rabbit in his mouth currently.
Tsuna had killed 3 others while they were running and couldn't carry them all.
So he had relied on Hibari to carry one. Hibari may be strong and have no
problem hurting people but he still didn't like killing small animals. So
having a dead rabbit being held in between his teeth was rather disgusting and
made him feel sick. Suddenly Tsuna stopped running when they reached a large
tree surrounded by a lot of grass. Tsuna set the rabbits down and motioned for
Hibari to do the same before he backed up, "Come out."
Hibari watched as a small black and white blur made its way out of the grass
followed by another pure black fox. They both stopped when they saw Hibari,
"It's okay. I promise that he won't hurt you. Now come and eat."
The two foxes watched Hibari a little longer before they dived into the meal.
The smaller pure black fox ran over to Tsuna, "When are we heading back Tsuna-
nii."
Tsuna nuzzled his face against the female fox's face, "There's one month left
before we can leave."
The other small fox looked at Tsuna too now, "Is Ryohei-nii coming along with
us?"
Tsuna nodded, "As soon as his sister leaves for college we’re all leaving."
Hibari looked at Tsuna, "Where are you going?"
Tsuna glanced back at him after pointing the two kits back towards the food to
eat, "We’re heading back to our permanent dens."
Hibari didn't understand in the slightest, "Dens? Why are you leaving?"
"Because we're not human and if any hunters or other supernatural find us here
they'll try and kill us. It's not safe. We have to leave if we do then the
hunters will leave us alone. As long as we stay away from towns then were safe
from the hunters. We are also safer away from humans because other supernatural
only hurt the ones that are betrayers of their kind. Staying with humans is
betraying your species and is highly frowned upon. If we ran into another pack
of our own kind around here then they'd kill us for it. We've already
have stayed too long for the likes of most. I'll probably be given a warning
soon by the hunters."Tsuna quickly explained.
Hibari was very thoroughly confused. Although he did understand a bit of what
was going on. Yet at the same time, he didn't understand why the supernaturals
would deem it traitorous to remain with humans. As far as he could tell there
was no reason for the two to be separated. Hibari didn't think he had any want
to hurt humans. So why? Why would the two groups be kept apart?
Tsuna finished making sure that the two kits had thoroughly feed before turning
back towards Hibari, "It's time to leave."
Hibari nodded. He wanted to get back to his normal life already. From what he
could see so far turning into a fox wasn't too big of an issue. He walked
behind Tsuna and when Tsuna began running so did he. They weaved between trees
making their way out of the forest until they arrived at the road. Hibari
quickly noticed it was the road across from his house, "If you jump that fence
your house is on the other side. Just open a window and sneak in so you can
shift inside where you won't be seen. You should be okay from here."
Tsuna took a step back so that he was further in the brush. He nudged Hibari's
hip gently when the elder didn't move.
Hibari had been completely overwhelmed by fear all of a sudden. He was scared
and for someone like him who never felt fear it made it so much worse. Yet
seeing the human road and house aroused fear within him. He didn't understand
why, though, and even though he may have preferred to be alone before it had
never caused him to feel fear when near humans. He had never once felt like
this. Had he not been who he was he was sure his legs would be shaking right
now.
Tsuna noticed the fear instantly and unlike Hibari, he understood what it was.
It was something that came along with being a skin-walker. It was a completely
natural thing that all skin-walkers have whether they are fox, wolf, cat or
some other type. All skin-walkers feared and wanted to avoid humans to some
amount. Skin-walkers created their own homes because inside them their blood
knows that humans are not safe. It is built into them from the moment of the
unavoidable first shift. Tsuna sighed as he gently rubbed his body up against
the other trying to calm him down. He had gone through this once with Ryohei
and knew that it could take a while for Hibari to adjust, "We can stay in the
forest if you would prefer or you can come to my house. The smell of fox is so
strong there that you shouldn't be affected by the fact it's human made."
Hibari absolutely hated getting help from other people, but at that moment
while he looked towards where his house sat he knew that he wouldn't be able to
move even an inch closer. The fear was so overwhelming that it even made
someone like him not able to go against it. He nodded to Tsuna, "Can we try
your house first?"
Tsuna nodded, "Yeah and if you can't go there either we can go sleep with the
kits. Their den is small but it will be big enough for us to fit in it too.
Although it may be a little bit of a snug fit."
Hibari followed Tsuna as the fox once again led the way. When they arrived at
his house they were just behind the fence. Tsuna looked back at Hibari, "Can
you handle it here?"
Hibari nodded being here felt nothing like when they were standing outside his
house, "It feels okay."
Tsuna shook his head to show Hibari that he understood. Had he been in his
human form he would have smiled at the teen. He turned walking back a little
bit and then ran at the tree before using it to bounce over the fence. Unlike
Ryohei's house, his fence was too high to jump without a little bit of help
from his surroundings. Hibari followed Tsuna rather easily as if it was second
nature for him. When they got to the house Tsuna jumped on a barrel that had
been used to collect extra rain water, quickly he made his way towards a ledge.
It led around to his bedroom window which he always left unlocked just for
times like these. He opened it after a few seconds of struggling with his paws.
He jumped down from the ledge into his bedroom with Hibari following him
closely behind, "You can shift here. It's safe."
Hibari did just that the second Tsuna said it was okay. He was rather sick of
being in his fox form it was actually making him a little nauseous. Tsuna
looked at Hibari as his very naked human form dropped onto his bed. Tsuna just
curled up on the floor still in his fox form. Hibari was waiting for the other
to change back and had even moved over in the bed not planning on hogging it.
He glanced over the edge of the bed to see him curled up, "What are you doing?"
Tsuna opened one eye to look at him, "I'm trying to get some sleep since it's
late."
Hibari grabbed the fox pulling him up onto the bed, "It's your bed so sleep in
it."
Tsuna tried to get out of Hibari's grasp,"But you're... you're... Naked."
Hibari just stared at him, "And what does that matter? We’re both guys."
Tsuna shook his head, "It does matter so just let me go."
Hibari let Tsuna go and the other jumped down from the bed. He had his eyes
closed as he stood trying to calm down. Being held by the other had brought
back some bad memories that scared Tsuna. After calming down though he still
ended up getting back up on the bed and curling up beside the other out of pure
fear from remembering. Even though he knew the man was dead it didn't make the
memories he had of him go away. No, he still would wake up screaming due to
night terrors created from the memories.

Tsuna passed out shaking beside the teen he thought had fallen asleep. Yet
Hibari was just remaining quiet as he was lying there still awake. He was just
wondering what was so frightening to the smaller male. He was surprised when
the other teen shifted during his sleep. Hibari draped a sheet over them both
before slipping into the dream world himself. To tired and stressed out for his
body to remain awake any longer.
