sorry about taking so long and a short chapter... i'm in the middle of moving and it's been crazy... :/ i hope once things settle down i'll have more to post but for now this is what i have so i thought i'd put it up...

"Hold on,"

I slowly woke up my eyes still closed. I yawned and instead of the normal high pitched squeak I sometimes let out a long humanly breath was sighed.

I opened my eyes and spoke. "What the-?" I cut off my words on my own accord and then looked myself over. I was human. Not much of a surprise. I thought to myself and my ears twitched in confusion. Wait? Ears? Do human's ears twitch? I'd never seen them do that… I reached with my new hands to the sides of my head where human ears were missing.

The hell? I asked in my head.

I reached above that and felt the wolf ears still attached to my head. Ears? Okay… I guess I can hide that from normal humans with a hat or something… I heard a thump behind me. I glanced back at my tail.

I still had my tail? I took a gentle hold of it with my hands still getting used to using them. That's when I noticed my arm was black compared to my pail skin. Why was that black?

I decided not to question too much after all it is my fault I have these problems.

I let go of my tail and sat up properly. Or at least it felt properly. I'm not sure. I had my knees bent and my hands went behind to push myself up. I looked at the wall by the bed and realized I felt a bit bigger then I used to be.

I looked to the other side of the room and froze.

Kanda stared at me with a slight blank face.

"Ehmm…" I squeaked a bit. "h-hi?" I asked listening to my own voice. It was a lot different than my wolf bark. It wasn't booming or sharp nor was it quick and simple. My human voice was soft spoken quiet and seemed to take some time and voice to express what I wanted. My brain can calculate things as if I were human now. I speak English I walk one foot after the other my hands have opposable thumbs… things like that. All the motor skill I was born with as a wolf have become human.

"Allen?" Kanda asked almost blankly. I wonder how long he's been standing in the doorway.

"Um… who?" I asked back.

"You're Allen right? The dog I've been living with for the past… what? Two days?" he scoffed.

"You named me Allen." I clarified. "Wolves don't normally have names… we address each other by looks." I said a half smile coming to my face. "I haven't been in contact with a wolf in a long time… I don't really have a set name or description they call me…" I shrugged the skill coming naturally to me.

"Your name is Allen." Kanda sighed. "It's easier than me taking the time to describe you…" he said and walked over to his dresser.

I watched with mild interest as he pulled out a black t shirt. "I guess Allen is okay." I said… more to myself- I don't think Kanda would care…

"Put this on." Kanda said tossing it to me.

I caught it- a bit goofly- and held it up to look at it for a second or two then opened it up and slipped it over my head. I pulled it over my chest and it fell covering my waist. It was a bit awkward to feel against my human skin. I wasn't used to the feeling.

Kanda sighed and sat at the chair by his desk. "How the hell did this happen?" he asked staring me down as if demanding an answer.

I sighed heavily and sat at the edge of the bed. "It's some ritual that the Noah clan has done… I was only part of it so I could be cured of rabies…" I looked at my human feet and petted them on the slightly long shag carpet. "Because I wasn't there, there has been some side effects… I still have my ears tail and my skin is black on my arm…" I went to lick my chapped lips when I noticed I still had my wolf like fangs. "And my fangs apparently…" I said and slowly looked up at Kanda's eyes.

Kanda sat quietly for a few moments staring at me with some kind of fire in his eyes. It was curiosity and concern. Something I could feel not may got to see. I simply sat quietly waiting for him to say or do something. His eyes looked me over closely taking in many details of my body. It made me shiver a bit and I just had to look away. I looked to my black hand sitting on my leg and took the time to get used to the functions of my thumbs and fingers.

Finally Kanda got up from his chair making me perk up my eyes dashing to him to watch his movements.

"Stay here." He said and walked out the door closing it behind himself.

I nodded at the closed door even though he was gone. His speech was emotionless and his actions were not mad nor disturbed or frightened. He seemed to just want a moment to himself to think and I'll respect that.

I sighed and laid back on the bed relaxing for a moment or two to let my mind function.

Kanda wasn't afraid of me and he wasn't mad like I thought he'd be. He seemed to be kind of okay with it.

Now that I was human there was a few things I had to do… or rather wanted to do… and some things I needed to fit in with humans.

I need to get a job I needed to go to school I needed to dress properly I needed to make friends. Things like that…

I guess in the mean time I could live with Kanda. I don't really like the feeling of clothes and Kanda was a good enough friend… I don't really want to waste my time in school ether… I can lean from Kanda if I really wanted…

Now that I think about it will I be allowed to live here with him still? Would he allow that?
