Chapter 7
Minami did not understand what was happening to her. She felt nauseous, muscle cramping, the whole body as if boiling. This went on for several hours, the breaks were rare, but no less painful.
Was already late in the evening, and she was looking for a temporary shelter in the woods, when all four of her paws buckled and she-wolf has fallen. As she first seem, absolutely without any reason. She tried to get up, but then her body ached.
"What is it?" - before it has never happened. She never felt SO bad. - "What's going on?"
Minami knew next to the place where it is, there is creek near where she will be able to ride out the night. She is oblivious to the pain, barely dragging her paws made its way among the low branches of trees to the purpose.
Arriving at last, to the creek, she-wolf fell exhausted to the nearest cluster of leaves. Her body temperature seemed to rise even higher, and paws were numb.
Minami, struggling with the pain, fall asleep. Her sleep was restless, full of dark dreams. Again she saw the parents and sister, but then it all was burnt in the fire ... She ran away off somewhere and she felt that she is being persecuted.
But suddenly all receded - and terrible dreams, and pain, torments her last few hours. Minami woke up and trying to look around yourself, do not believe her eyes. She-wolf, thinking that all this is her hallucination, closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep, but sleep would not come. Then, opened her eyes again, she made sure that does not sleep. Minami has again become a human!
The girl, still not believing it, felt her hands, legs and face, even crawled to the creek, to be sure. At her from the reflection staring back girl - long, to the waist, brown hair, high cheekbones, a strong chin, a little plump pink lips ... changed only one thing - the eyes. They have become more predatory, wolfish, with a light shade of predator's passion.
Minami touched the water, and feeling that the water had not yet had time to cool after the heat of the day, went to the creek. The clothes that she was wearing, immediately gets wet - in a white tunic became visible contours of her body. She laughed - for the first time in a long time - and heard her voice, just a little grown-up.
"I wonder, I grew up at least a centimeter?" - Minami laughed again. - "Again I think about the same".
Coming out of the creek, she went to a nearby tree and deftly climbed to the very top and the strongest branch. She sat down on her, she looked around the neighborhood - everything was clean. Just above the horizon was hanging a yellow moon.
"If I was now a she-wolf - must have howled. But now ... It's good - be a human,"- Minami reached out and made herself comfortable, leaning back against the tree trunk.
The next morning she woke up, lying on the sand. Again she become a she-wolf ...

- Minami? - she took her by the shoulders. - Minami, is that you?
- Atsuko ...
- Minami! - Acchan leaned forward and hugged her. - Where have you been? I was looking for you!
- Atsuko ... - Minami hugged ambassadress back. - I'm sorry ... I ... could not be with you ...
- Minami ... - princess pressed her savior to her and buried her nose in her hair. - You're coming with me?
Low girl winced, as if suddenly feeling the icy water, and pulled away from the ambassadress.
- I'm sorry ... - she lowered her head. - But I can not go with you ...
- Why? - tears flowed from Atsuko's eyes. She pressed her hands to her chest, trying to cope with emotions. - Why can not you come with me? Why are you hiding in the form of a she-wolf? Why can I only see you? Why, in the end, you saved me?!
- Atsuko, I'm ... - Minami clenched fists, holding back tears.
- Can not you explain to me? - Ambassadress's voice suddenly became icy. Even colder than the lake water. - Well ... I thought you'd be my friend, but now ... Goodbye, Minami-which-I-do-not-know.
Acchan already turned around and headed to the path along which came, when she was stopped by the Minami's voice. The Princess was frightened at first that, as a girl-wolf's voice was somehow stranger not as she was used to.
- If you so wish, I'll tell you everything ...
***
- I was born in a small village not far from here. My parents owned a small plot of land on which grew vegetables and fruits, then to sell them. I, as I could, help them. Five years later, my younger sister - Juri - was born . Around the same time, there were rumors about a certain villain named Daharans - said that he destroys entire villages in search of one human. But, as it happened far away from us, we did not attach much importance. And soon after that information about new raids did not arrive ...
Atsuko and Minami sat in the almost dried-up clothes under a huge tree near the lake. Low girl, telling to ambassadress her history, constantly staring at the stars, as if she was trying to find the strength to carry on. Ambassadress stared at her, as if trying to remember her in detail.
- After nine years of quiet life in our village came ambassador from Daharans to the order to give him a child.
- Anyone? - Acchan horrified.
Minami in response to this just smiled, still not taking her eyes off the sky.
- Um ... no, not anyone. Certain. He even read the signs: "A girl, 14 years old, brown hair to her shoulders, name is Minami".
- You?!
- Yes, - Minami sighed. - As parents did not resist because they do not want to give me, I was forced to go with this ambassador. He said that if I will not give to him the whole village will be wiped off the face of the Earth.
- Nightmare ... - Acchan clenched her fists. - It's too cruel.
- All the way to his lair my eyes were closed - they put on me some kind of bag that I could not see anything. It was removed only when I entered the hall, where this terrible person was. He said he was looking for me and that I - Selected.
- Selected?
- Yes. He found that the soldiers of the Kingdom also searched for me to prepare for a mission. But he was ahead of them. He told me that somewhere in a secret place in a few years was to grow a beautiful crystal, and his light will save the Kingdom ...
Acchan not believe her ears.
- It can not be ... Are ... You ...
- Yes, originally I was supposed to bring that Crystal to the Kingdom. I was supposed to be a Seeker ... - Minami stood. - But as Daharans found me first, I had to steal that crystal and bring him, that he began to rule the world. He promised that I would be his right hand, and that we will rule together. But ... I knew he was lying. I knew that if the crystal will get to him, he will erase all Kingdom off the face of the Earth. So ... I ran away. I ran home, but they did not notice because it was night. And the next day ... I became white she-wolf.
- Daharans cursed you? - Acchan thought. - I read about it somewhere. This kind of curse is almost impossible to remove. But ... You're in human form. Is this possible?
- Three years ago ... the first time I turned from a wolf to human. I became a werewolf ... But I could only turn at night and only a few hours, and these transformations were terribly painful. Now I can turn into a human at any time of the day, to be in human form as long as I want, and I don't feel pain of the transformation... I think it's because I met you, - Minami turned to Acchan and held out her hand. - Thank you.
Atsuko took Minami's hand, and she helped her to her feet.
- Do not tha... - Acchan tripped and fell on Minami. Their lips met in a kiss ... Atsuko's hands were near Minami's head, her left leg - between Minami's legs. Minami hands were on Atsuko's waist.
They both realize situation only a few minutes. Minami's eyes widened, and she rather rudely shoving Atsuko, jumped sharply.
- What are you doing?! - Minami's eyes just burning furiously, and her cheeks flushed from embarrassment.
Acchan, no less shocked, stood up and bowed.
- I'm sorry ... - that was not visible, but her face was red. - Minami, I did not mean to ...
- Come on ... - girl-wolf again stared at the sky. Atsuko went to the lake and looked down at her hands. At this point, they both thought of only one thing:
"It was my first kiss ..."
***
- Nee, Minami ...
They both walked in the woods - Minami agreed to hold Atsuko to the hospital's gate. The incident, happened near the lake, has been forgotten, and they are both perfectly normal to communicate with each other.
- Yes?
- You still have not answered the question of mine. Why can I only see you?
- Hmm ... Good question ... - Minami smiled slyly. - Secret!
- Mou, Minami ~!
They both laughed, and suddenly on they fell net, and the next moment from the shadow of the trees seemed girl with two pigtails. In her hands was a very strange-looking hunting rifle, in her eyes - strange glasses. She was dressed in a black knee-length black dress and a jacket.
- So I got you, werewolf ... - she smiled. The voice seemed familiar to Acchan, and after a few seconds, she knew who it belonged to.
- MAYUYU?!
