Shoku kicked the door to the log cabin open, dropping his half of the clothes and accessories that he bought Fin onto the couch closest to the wooden door. He missed being back home in the circle, even if his home was being intruded by the newest dog to enter the pack. He would've called her a wolf, but she hardly deserved the bite, much less the title that came with it. It seemed the trek it took to get as deep into the forest as they were from the chinese restaurant burned off what food he had gotten into his system. It was official, he decided, I hate girls.
He wanted to go to the actual circle, which was nearby, but in a seperate clearing altogether, but he figured only the elderly and the youngest members of the pack would be there and as much as he loved them, untrained wolves were a bitch to deal with especially when they deemed it was time to use the bathroom on you while you were petting or talking to them. "Well, this is as home as you're gonna get, unless you'd rather sleep outside under the moonlight. You know, if you can go a few hours without worrying about your curly little hair." Shoku said mockingly.
"There's a bathroom upstairs if you need to change or take a shower, I promise I won't be staring at you, cause I have a feeling if I don't make it obvious you'd question me. You can have my room, just try to keep it the way it is now, before you Finnify it." Feeling he had said all he needed to for the moment, Shoku shifted into his beautiful silver-white wolf form and curled up onto the floor where a shagged carpet was in the middle of the living room. He yawned, showing all his sharp teeth before laying his head on his paws.

Finnify it? Finn smirked to herself and set her bags down quietly.
"Thank you again, I promise I won't be a burden."
Having washed her face earlier, all there was for her to do was change clothes and put away her things more neatly, and so she did.
Finn wandered around the house for a while, then came across a small window. She could see the moon.
She quietly moved back downstairs, and morphed into a mass of golden fur. She shook out her body, twitched her nose, both pleased with herself and unpleased with the situation, and curled up on the floor on the opposite side of the room from Shoku.

It was still dark and the moon was still out, part of the consequences of having eighteen hours of light I suppose, Shoku thought to himself. He didn't like sleeping, the idea of staying still for eight or more hours disturbed him. If it wasn't a basic need for survival the werewolf would probably have cut out sleeping from his schedule altogether. A soft wind picked up in the forest clearing, picking up leaves and sweeping them up into the air. The gentle breeze sent a quick shiver through Shoku's body, being slightly underdressed in only a tanktop and shorts. He didn't need the added clothes and he was about to get warmed up soon.
The dim glow from the lights still on in the log cabin, reminded the werewolf that despite most of his pack being gone for some strange reason, he was far from alone. The newest, or rather the recently found addition to his pack, Finn, was now sleeping in the same house as him. The blonde haired green eyed girl with anger issues. Typical city girl, Shoku scoffed, wondering how the female werewolf could be so prejudiced to their kind and then happily drag one off to do her bidding. For an entire day, the silver-haired boy had been forced to carry, not to mention buy, her new crap that was now littering his "home" though it was primarily abandoned by everyone in the pack, most having other things to do with their life.
It wasn't my fault she lost her stuff, Shoku thought bitterly. Had she not been such a stubborn prick and fought him at every turn she would have walked away from that whole ordeal alot smoother.
Shoku looked at a large oak tree that stood out among the other trees, one he commonly knew as his twenty foot tall training ground. Rubbing his hands together to warm them up, Shoku sprinted at the tree, jumping up and using the momentum to run up the tree before landing on a branch, using his body weight to push himself off and grab hold of a much higher and sturdier tree branch. He began swinging himself back and forth from the branch, twisting his body and reversing his position on it so he was now face a smaller tree, right in front of the log cabin. When he felt he had enough motion and momentum, Shoku released his grip on the tree, flying towards the smaller one and safely between two thick branches that were close together.
Rolling onto the dirt floor, the werewolf sprung to his feet, jumping up and grabbing hold of the edge of the roof of the cabin, effortlessly pulling himself up. Shoku ran up the slanted side of the roof before sliding down the other, flipping off the house and landing on the ground once more, on his hands and knees. Feeling a slight rush of adrenaline and the accomplishment of successfully completing his quick run, Shoku howled into the night sky.

Finn, feeling a bit awkward, waited until the silver wolf vanished before morphing back to herself.
"Howling..." she muttered as she shook her head and made her way up to the bathroom.
It not really being morning, and Finn not really being much of a morning person anyway, she wasn't quite sure what to do with herself. She brushed her teeth, combed her hair, and looked into the mirror. "Hmm... what am I going to do now?" It only took one glance around the room to decide."Clean." she said, "definitely, definitely clean..."
Finn finished the cleaning and was rather happy with herself, but felt that it needed some...pizazz.
She changed out of her now dirty clothes and took out the phone Rocky had given her.
Hey. She texted.
Oi! Whats up?
I was wondering if you knew where I could look for some easy work, maybe get some cash fast. Finn replied. She needed money..badly.
Um.. sure.
Rocky gave Finn the address of a restaurant and two salons where she had friends at that she knew were taking in applications. Finn thanked her and put the phone away.
The sun was coming out now, and that meant it was time for business.
"Let's see..." Finn got out a notepad and pencil she'd purchased with Shoku's money the day before, "eggs....flower....milk....sugar..." She paused for a moment, thinking. "cleanser...light bulbs...newspaper...frying pan." Finn looked over her list for a moment before deeming it acceptable, and sat the notepad back down on the table.
She had plans to meet Rocky back in China town after she applied everywhere. Apparently the restaurant was fairly close to China Town, because Rocky told her to apply there last.

Shoku walked back into the house, sweating slightly from the quick parkour exercise. "Hey Finn, how does it feel wearing someone else's money?" Shoku said, though it was more playful and less bitter than it had been before when he mentioned it. "You look like you're about to go somewhere, got a date? Nah that can't be it, no guy has enough energy and cash to go on a date with you."

Finn laughed and finished putting away her set of dirty clothes for now.
"No, no date. I'm going into town. Wanna come?" she said brightly, kicking away some socks from view. "I'm going to pay you back for everything you bought yesterday, and maybe even some rent if I can manage! I'm going to try to get a job!" Finn beamed. Although she'd been on her own for a while now, she'd never really provided for herself before. Just kinda blew from place to place, seeing what she could find.

"As long as I'm not going to be forced to carry a bunch of bags, I'll tag along. I have nothing better to do." That was a blatant lie. His mind was focused on Eden, he should be trying to find her and burn her to ash. If it wasn't bad enough she had beat him once at Haven's bar, he actually had her in his grasp, he could've ended the vampire's life, but he didn't. The pups deaths still went unavenged, and he was too embarrassed to show himself to his pack again.

Finn looked at the addresses Rocky had given her earlier, and her brow furrowed.
"Hmm...." she said as she tried to picture their location in her head. She looked up when she did this, looking for a window or open door or something that would remind her...
Despite his rather jolly tone Shoku looked upset. Finn decided to let sleeping dogs lie on this one, and asked him for his help finding the first address listed on her phone.

"I don't do well with adresses, just because I can turn into a wolf, doesn't mean I can smell out every street in nightcrest district you know. Are you sure you haven't seen it around before?"

Finn frowned. She'd secretly been hoping for just that.
"Well, I probably have." she said as she headed for the door, "but you probably have as well. Come on, let's go!"
It was another hot day but the sky was beautiful, and Finn loved being in the trees like this. It felt good.

Finn morphed into her wolf form as soon as she was out of her brother's sight, and howled as loud as she could. She ran faster than she'd ever run before, and did her best to sniff Shoku out.
Finally, she thought she caught a trace of him. She followed it, and saw a glint of silver streaking in front of her. She howled more loudly this time, hoping he'd come to her.

Rocky was furious. Blinding scarlet burning fury. The kind of fury that fills your fingertips and toes, and makes you want to rip several somethings into shreds. She was a werewolf. A effing werewolf. And it was all his fault. That. Little. Bastard. She could barely controll herself it at all, feeling a strong sudden urge to, to....bit him. She wanted to rip him into lots of little peices with her teeth. She wanted to know what sound his bones made when they crack. She morphed, feeling herself grown into the large, black beast. She could SMELL him. He was near. He was close. She could see him now. She ran at him, unable to help herself, snarling and snapping. She stopped right infront of him, eyes red with rage. Bastard....

Shoku was upset, almost ready to let tears flood out of his own eyes, but realizing how bad it would look for him, held his frustrations in. He continued running in his wolf form, until he heard a howl. Finn. Before he could go to her, before he could do anything, he seemed to be standing face to face to a large black werewolf, that shadowed his slim human frame. "Rocky? Well, this is rather unpleasant. I had hoped that my attack would've killed you, apparently 50% chance is too much in your favor, huh bitch." Shoku said, growling back at the rage filled werewolf. Without shifting, he kicked her, with enough force to send her back a few feet. He knew how to kill a werewolf, without turning, and with his enhanced strength and senses, being a werewolf hunter was a much easier chore.

She stood there, and let herself be kicked, feeling the hatred pulsate through her. Her kicker her. He stole her effing humanity, and he kicked her. He nearly killed her and changed her , and he kicked her. She didn't want to fight him. Even in her inraged wolf body she knew that. He'd kill her plain and simple, and walk right over her body. She was defenseless. And she hated it. She morphed into a human, devoid of makeup and polish, blood still splattered on her face. Was that what she was going to be like? A cold, heartless disrespectful monster? She wasn't perfect, but this......
