Chapter 3 pg. 7
-----------------

I touched my shirt and felt that it had dried.

"That was fast." I mumbled.

I took off my shirt I borrowed and put on my black shirt.

It feels abit small. It's not as baggy as it was before... Dammit it shrunk. I thought.

I did my best to stretch it out but, I may have stretched it too far.

"Great now it's a little too baggy. At least it's not that baggy." I grumbled.

I tied my other shirt around my waist and went inside the manor.

"Hey, Liz? Is their anything I can do?" I yelled asking.

Liz came through a door from a hall on the left.

"Yeah, I need you to go hunting." Liz said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Well, it turns out Kei miss read the list. I wrote down ten pounds of beef but, he bought 10 pounds of beets." Liz said crossing her arms.

"Let me see the list." I said.

"Oh, let me get it. I put it somewhere in my other pair of clothing I was wearing yesterday. Let me go get it." Liz said running off.

Off she goes. Now I get to see how bad her hand writing is. I thought to myself.

I sat down on the couch that was close by.

Hmm, I never noticed how weird it is to have a tail. I thought after sitting on it for about the 6th time.

I turned around to see my tail. It was grey and fluffy.

"Ahh, it so soft." I said stroking it.

"Oh right I have ears too." I said remembering.

I reached up and felt around for points in my head. It was kinda hard since of all the little points my hair. I began pinching my around my head after abit until I felt a fleshy area.

"There they are." I said proudly.

Wait... why am I proud... about wolf ears...Oh yeah, I got fangs. I thought with a look of realization.

I put my left index finger into my mouth pretty fast and pricked my finger.

"Ahh..." I said retracting my hand.

A little blood came out of my finger. So, I just sucked on it. Then, I heard running in the hallway.

"Liz must be back." I said to myself getting up with my finger in my mouth.

Kei came in panting.

"Z-zero, this isn't good." Kei said panting still.

"What happened?" I asked.

"I-It's a group of two people and a wolf. They just came in. They seem hostile." Kei said.

"What? Is one a girl and one a guy with longish black hair?" I asked.

"Y-yeah. how did you know." Kei asked in shock.

"I know them." I said with a calm voice.

I walked outside to see Ariah and Inazuma was there standing.

"Yo guys." I said walking with one of my hands in my pocket and another doing a casual salute.

"Z-Zero!" Ariah said running towards me.

"Hi Wolf-boy." Inazuma said smiling.

"It's good to see you too." I said smiling.

Ariah tackled me down and started to punch me in the face. I landed on my tail and it hurt like a ... with a bitch would be an insult to dog Animans. Umm, You could say it hurt as if a steam roller went over your foot.

"Gahhhh! What the hell!" I yelled.

"Why did you disappear?!" Ariah said sobbing.

"Why did you punch me?!" I yelled.

"It's just that I'm glad to see your okay. At least you didn't disappear for a thousand years again." Ariah cried.

"It's alright. First can you get off me." I said.

Ariah got off me.

"Sorry." Ariah blushed.

"Anything wrong?" I asked.

"Ah-it's nothing." Ariah said pretty fast.

"Well, you cause a commotion. What did you guys do anyways?" I asked.

"Ah, we kinda had Lars track you down and made a straight path using Inazuma's Yuza." Ariah said.

She had Inazuma blow a whole through a forest area... scary how much Inazuma will listen to her I thought abit shocked.

"Time to go explain to Liz..." I said.

"Liz?" Ariah asked.

"Yeah, I was sold as a slave. She is my master." I said a expression of annoyance.

"Also Molly got taken too. I was able to convince her to get Molly by 'Buying' Molly. So, you don't need to look for her." I said.

"Really? That was good. I thought someone bought her at the slave auction. We were planning on robbing the place if Molly didn't get sold because they put high security on an Animan if they have been bought." Ariah said.

"Let's go inside the manor! Also, do you guys have my jacket?" I asked with big eyes.
