A/n: Sorry for the long wait. It's short I know, but this is as far as I've gotten so far. And thanx to Redcat8 for getting me started on this again.
Chapter 2
:Flashback:
Remus was the first one to notice they were being watched. He had glanced up from a conversation with the headmaster, over what style socks were the best, to see a man studying them from the doorway.
"Albus, were you expecting anyone?"
That got their attention. The entire Head table was on alert. Many even fingering their wands, Snape had drawn his.
The young man tensed as if preparing to fight or flee, and focused his attention on them.
"No, I was not Remus." Sad to say this didn't help the nerves of those around him.
"Why do you run with them?"
Remus blinked. The young man was looking directly at him, looking... through him.
"What?" He felt himself question, although he couldn't remember directing himself to do so.
"Why do you run with them."
The young man had taken a step forward, his cold blue eyes focused Remus. Not showing any form of trepidation at the sight of wands aimed his way, nor at the sight of the huge form of Hagrid rising to his feet. There was however, confusion in those cold blue eyes.
"What are you talking about boy?" Snape spat. Annoyed at the vague and suspicious manner of the young man before them. He was an unknown force, and if there was one thing that Severus Snape agreed upon with Alastor Moody, it was the truth of 'Constant Vigilance'.
"I can smell who you are. Why do you run with them?"
Shocked. How does one respond to that? Remus stood there, his mouth agape. Ever so slowly, the werewolf inched from behind the staff table, studying the form before him.
"Who are you?" Remus questioned, as he came to stand in front of the staff, gesturing for the rest to lower their wands.
"I am Kiba."
That was when Remus saw it. A flicker.
Something had been on the edge of his senses, teasing him. Something familiar in the air since dinner he couldn't quite place. And here it was in front of him.
"You're a Wolf."
A/N: Sorry for the lack of updates. I've hit a bit of a dry spell with my creativeness. Heh Most of it is focused on the new semester. Gods how I hate college. I wanted to point out, for any of you that noticed, that the scene from Wolf's Rain that I start in is a little . . . tweaked from the anime version. At the time I was writing this from memory, and well it's fanfiction, call it creative licence if you will.
Ja.
