The wolf and The hunter

Prologue The hunter

"Are you ready for this Koshi?" Mashiro asked me as I put on my helmet and grabbed my shinai and got into stance and nodded at him as he came at me with a few strikes at my wrist which I parried then he went for my head but I dodged it by moving to the left.

Big mistake.

He then hit me in my right rips then my legs which caused me to trip and fall on my ass with him pointing his shinai at me.

"I win again." He said removing his helmet so I could stare at him with a grin on his face.

I scoffed as I removed my helmet and he held out his hand which I grasped and he suddenly pulled me into a kiss as I kissed back before we broke apart and I glared at him and he smirked once more.

I guess some introductions are in order. My name is Kioshi Asakawa, I'm a silent 6 foot tall blue eyed 17 year old, my hair colour is blonde but I dyed it silver a few on my 16th birthday and have a single earring in the shape of a howling wolf. And this bastard is Mashiro Mizuno my 18 year old boyfriend. He's two inches taller tan me, has pale skin, black hair and brown eyes. The two of us have been dating for two years and have decided after months of me avoiding it to tell my parents about us, get me wrong my parents know I'm gay but they don't exactly like Mashiro, after all he does get detention on a weakly basis while I get perfect grades at both academic and physical grades so they fear of him corrupting me as my parents say which I don't get since I dyed my hair and pierced my ear. Granted it was with permission but still.

We went on our way to my house and I was thinking of all the ways this could go wrong. What do I do if they don't like him? They went completely ballistic when I told them we were friends, what if they-

"Kioshi!" I was brought back to reality by Mashiro shouting into my ear to see that we were all ready at my front door Damn. I opened the door and he pulled me in to see my dad eating some instant ramen while my mom came down to greet us.

"Welcome back Kioshi!" She shouted and dragged me into a tight hug.

"Don't kill our son." Dad said as she released me from the hug and I getting air back into my lungs with Mashiro rubbing my back.

"Sorry son."

"It's mom." I said as I went to sit on the cough as Mashiro sat beside me and my mom sat next to my dad.

"I see you brought him with you." My dad said with slight annoyance that Mashiro was here with us as he waved at them.

"Yeah... I have something important to tell you about that..." I said looking at everything but my parents as Mashiro squeezed my hand reassuringly.

"You see... he's... I'm... we're... uhm... a couple..." I said nervously as I waited for them to yell at me, but instead my mom just squealed in happiness and hugged the both of us to our as my dad chuckled at this.

"W-wait. Your not mad?"

"Why would we be? You finally got yourself a boyfriend." Mom said releasing us from her hug.

"I thought you guys hated me?"

"That was before we knew you were his boyfriend, so we have to like you now." Dad said smiling at him, I mean a genuine smile not the usual fake ones. "But you break his heart you're back on the shit list." He said then Mashiro kissed my cheek.

"See I told you nothing would happen." Mashiro said as my parents face suddenly went dark.

"Mom, Dad? What's-" before I finish they suddenly grabbed the both of us and dragged us into the the basement and my mom whispered something into Mashiro's ear and slid something into his pocket before leaving.

"Stay I there and don't make a sound!" My dad yelled at us then shut the door and locked it.

"But-" I shut up when I heard the sound of shattering glass as well as growls and a few gunshots as Mashiro held me close to his chest and whispered into my ear calming words into my ear. And then noises stooped only to be replaced loud banging coming from the ceiling as well as wood breaking. Mashiro quickly dragged me towards a silver door in the back that my parents told me never to touch grabbed a key out of his pocket, opened the box and pushed me in.

"Don't come out until it's safe." He said then closed the door and locked it.

I watched everything that happened through the keyhole. I watched Mashiro grab a pipe to use as a weapon. I watched as a large white wolf with eyes as red as the blood on it's muzzle and paws broke through the ceiling. I watched as it came at him as he was using the pipe to defend himself. I watched as he hit the wolf in the head with the pipe but it had no effect all. I watched as the wolf pounced on him. And with tears in my eyes, I watched as the wolf bit down on his throat. The next thing I saw I was something I wouldn't believe if I didn't see it. I watched as the wolf turned into a fully grown naked man with the sound of bones snapping as he stood tall and stared down at Mashiro's dead body and spat blood at him then walked away and cried my eyes out.

When I was sure he was gone I looked throughout the room for a way out. Eventually I found a light switch and turned it on to see that the room was assorted with all sorts of weapons, sais, katanas, knives, bows, guns, you name it, there was also some food and water which would last for about a week if I rationed it, but what immediately caught my attention was a book at the end which I walked towards and started reading and the first words were.

Dear Koishi

If you are reading this son, it means then that means that I am probably dead. There so much I wanted to tell you in person but never had the chance to. So I left you this so you could see why this happened. Inside this book lie information on monsters that me and your mother have been hunting since before you were born. I never wanted to be apart of this so I gave you the best gift I could. I gave you a choice. If you turn this page you will learn everything you need to know about them, where to find them, how to track them, and how to kill them. But if you do there is no going back. So before you turn this page, make sure it is something you really want.
