Part Four
Redemption
The first thing he remembered was waking up in darkness. His head throbbed, his ears were bleeding and his sight was sharper; almost too sharp, he saw everything! The light breeze that shifted the leaves on the trees, the twinkling of the stars and he even saw the tiny ants crawling in a line to their hill almost fifty feet away! Groaning it took him a lot of effort to even bring himself to all fours. Picking his head up, he looked around, his eyes adjusting. He was in a forest, the dew had already fallen that night, and it was getting colder. Pulling himself up with the help of a nearby tree, he started walking, with some difficulty, to the nearest light source.
Breaking free of the vegetation of the forest, he found himself in a park lined with street lights. Even in the dark, the street lights were giving him a horrible headache on top of the one he already had. Hearing a growl behind him he quickly turned around finding…nothing? It was then that he noticed that the growling came… from… him? Walking to the sidewalk, the street lights were glaring at him. Growling to himself again, he rubbed the side of his head to calm the ache; wincing, he pulled his hand back to find blood on his claws? Taking a look at his hand he found his nails were longer and sharper. This was…different…
Continuing to walk he came to an intersection of the park, shrugging his shoulders he picked the one to his left. Walking a few paces he heard a scream behind him. Turning quickly he saw a woman being chased by a gang of four thugs. Growling he ran to catch up with them. Quickly realizing that he was running very fast; inhumanly fast! He smirked as he caught up to the gang almost instantly; beating two of them on the way to the leader. "Stop right there!"
The leader turned from the woman in a torn dress and went pale. Then his demeanor changed back to arrogance. "And what are you gonna do copper?! Arrest me?!"
He smirked and as fast as lightening he had the thug in his claws hoisted in the air. "You might want to rethink your actions…" He turned slightly to see the other thug running away from the scene and hearing a siren coming towards them. He winched as the sound hurt his ears, pulling them closed he was able to readjust the sounds around him. Shocking himself he pulled his unoccupied hand to the top of his head, feeling that his ears were now on the top of his head?! Dropping the thug he felt, this time with both hands, the softness and pointiness of his new ears. 'What the fuck is going on?!'
"Officer?! What's the situation?!"
Turning his shocked face to the uniformed officer he stuttered. "A-Are you t-talking t-to me?"
One of the six officers came up to him and gaped. The officer had his hair up in a ponytail, his ice blue eyes shining like stars in the night and was that a tail coming out of the back of his pants?! "Takahashi? Is that you?"
He looked down at himself, then noticing that he had on a uniform like other officer, seeing the name plate on his left breast he saw that he was, indeed, the person named 'Takahashi.' "Y-Yes?"
Seeing another officer, take the thug into custody, and another wrapping the woman in a blanket, two others arresting the two that he brought down he turned back to the one that was questioning him. "What happened to you?! You smell like a mutt, but then you still have you're your human scent! You're a-a-a hanyou!"
Looking off to the side, crossing his arms, seeing his now silver hair drape across his arms he sighed. "I wish I knew…"
"So you don't remember anything up until a few hours ago?" The doctor asked as he looked over his chart. He was at the hospital being checked out. The officer that questioned him, Koga, a wolf demon was very confused; he was as well…
He sighed. "Yeah… I don't remember anything… Not even my name…"
Koga growled. "This doesn't make any sense… How can he just magically change from a human to a hanyou in a matter of hours?! I just saw him at lunch!"
The doctor sighed. "I unfortunately don't have the answers you seek. I can go seek council with some of the miko in the area but I doubt they will seek you out until the morning. We can perform a few tests to see if you have had any trauma to your head… Other than that, I have to say that this has to run it's course…"
He sighed, nodding his head. "I guess it wouldn't hurt to have the tests…"
The doctor nodded and scribbled something in his chart. "Okay, I'll go order those. Officer Ookami, continue to try and trigger something of his past…"
Koga sighed as the doctor left the room. "So you and I have been friends for about fifteen years, we went to high school and police academy together. I have a mate named Ayame and we have two cubs. Did that trigger anything?"
He growled, scratching the back of his head. "No, it didn't…"
The tests came back negative; he was perfectly normal; except that he couldn't remember anything!
Koga had decided to drop him of at his own place, to see if anything clicked. Fishing out the keys in his pocket, trying every key that was on it, he finally opened the door to the apartment. Looking around he saw that it was plain but surprisingly clean. Nothing but the basics. The living room housed a big screen tv with many video games and he scowled. "I guess I won't be playing those for a while…"
Walking into the kitchen, his hand slid along the counter, feeling the coolness. Looking across the way, he saw the window overlooking the city, the sun just barely coming up. Sighing looking in the fridge seeing a few beers he grabbed one, popping it open taking a long swig. Feeling the burn he scowled again. "I like this crap?" Upturning the liquor in the sink, he threw the can in the recycling bin. Wiping his face with his hand, wincing as his new claws scrapped a little too deep in his skin he snarled. Stomping down a hallway he found the bedroom and his bathroom adjoining it. Kicking his shoes off her started to remove his uniform. First his gun, then his cuffs, phone, keys, taser and notepad. Putting all of this on his dresser, he proceeded then to get out of his clothes. Soon he was down to his boxers; he looked at himself in the mirror.
Koga had shown him a picture of what he used to look like and he was now strikingly different. His skin was tanner, his muscles were bigger, his eyes now were a golden hue and his hair was no longer black with purple undertones; it was silver like the moon. Opening his mouth he tentatively scrapped his tongue along his razor sharp fangs, feeling the slight nick. Wincing he saw the blood bead on his tongue then a few seconds later saw the hole close over, fully healed. Reaching up he felt his ears, now on top of his head, and found the furry appendages very sensitive.
Sighing he let his hands drop down beside him and he turned from his reflection. Looking at his bed, hoping for a good night's sleep he laid down on his stomach, completely exhausted. 'What happened to me? What does Kami have planned for me?'
