Satoshi was crouched down by the door, picking the lock. "Are you sure you've got it?" Makoto asked quietly. "Are you saying I don't know how to pick a lock? I'm almost-" the lock clicked and the door opened. "Done" Satoshi got up and went in. Yoshiki following him. Makoto stayed outside the door with Celeste. "What now?" "We act casual but also keep watch on this door. If they get caught I have no dobt we won't see them again". Makoto's tone was filled with concern. "Right, what do we do if-"

"funny seeing you two here". Celeste and Makoto both felt their blood go cold at the uttering of those words. They turned to see none other then Kaname behind them. He smiled calmly, hand resting on both their shoulders. He looked different than before. He wasn't waring his glasses and his hair was now brown. He must have been in a disguise before. "What are you doing up here lovely? And how'd you even get in bean pole?" He tried to be charming to Celeste, but was rude and frank when talking to Makoto. "That's none of your concern" Makoto shot back, glaring. Kaname tightened his grip on Makoto's shoulder , making Makoto wince. "Excuse me bean pole?" "You heard me just fine!" Makoto puffed up, full of anger and a sudden rush of bravery. Kaname huffed and slapped Makoto harshly.

"What do you think youre doing?" Before Kaname could do it again, Celeste stood in front of Makoto, defending him. Kaname set his hand down and started to chuckle. "Isn't that just precious? You're in love with the little beasty. I almost pity you". He easily got Celeste out of his way and grabbed Makoto by the collar of his shirt, lifting him up. "Sadly , the queen and your little beast have business to discuss. So I'll be burrowing him" he smirked evilly as Makoto struggled. "also" he whistled sharply "you four are trepassing up here". He quickly ran off with Makoto in his arms. "Makoto!" Celeste chased after the two. She panted as she ran down the seemingly endless hallways. "Makoto!" She shouted one more time. "I'm sorry..." she felt a wave of grief and self loathing. She left the others behind, she couldn't help Makoto. Now everything hit the fan and it was her fault. She turned back, hoping for Yoshiki's and Satoshi's safety.

The large wolf sat up as it heard footsteps, and lots of them. Yoshiki looked to it "are they coming?". The wolf nodded, getting ready to lunge at anything that came in that door. Yoshiki gathered up what he had gotten and got ready to fight. A group of guards came in quickly. The wolf lunged at them viciously. "Don't kill them Satoshi! " Yoshiki told him, drop kicking one of the guards. Satoshi huffed, slashing the guard but not killing him.

"A little help please " Yoshiki struggled with one both coming to a stand still. Satoshi darted over and bit the guards leg. He had so much strength in his jaw he accidentally broke it, making the man topple. Yoshiki let out a breath "thanks". The other guards had ran, not wanting to have the same happen to them. Satoshi came out into the hall looking for the other two. He growled when he found them missing. "Sato-!!" Yoshiki suddenly collapsed to the ground. Satoshi came to him. One of the guards had hit his skull then ran. Yoshiki layed on the ground, unconscious . Satoshi managed to get Yoshiki onto his back, then darted off to find the others. He let out a loud howl. He didn't care if anyone heard him, he just needed to find the rest of his family.

Celeste skidded to a halt as she heard a bellowing howl. There was no way they brought wolves into the castle, unless... Celeste started running towards the direction of the howl. She stopped when she turned into the next hall. In front of her stood a gigantic wolf. A person laid upon it's back. "Satoshi? ". The wolf carefully removed the person and shook it's body. After a moment it had changed into Satoshi. But he hadn't fully shifted. He still had quite a bit of fur and his jaw still formed a bit of a snout. He picked Yoshiki up "Let's go". Celeste nodded him and quickly followed him. "How are we getting out?" "Trust me. I know this place. Where's Makoto? " "We have to come back and help him. This Kaname guy stole him. He said he had business with the queen" "fuck". Celeste followed him down a couple flights of stairs. They came into a long hallway of doors. "Ponko!" Satoshi bellowed. A women came out of the doors and gasped "Satoshi! ?" "No time to explain. Which room is the back exit in?" . The woman quickly went over to one of the doors in the very back. "Thank you so much Ponko " "No problem Satoshi ". The three ran out the castle through the back entrance.

It must have been a very confusing image to see three people practically crash into the inn, all of which dressed in formal clothes that were wrinkled and dirty from all their activity. When the three came into the inn, everyone looked to them. Satoshi sighed "nice to see you all too" he shot at them as they went up the stairs. He set Yoshiki down gently in their bed. Yoshiki slept calmly, utterly unaffected from the run. Celeste sat down on the bed. She stared at her feet in thought. Satoshi glanced in the mirror then groaned "god damn it, no wonder they were staring at us". He examined his wolf snout and fur on his face. "Why didn't you tell me?" he looked to Celeste. Any angry comments melted away when he saw her expression. She looked at her feet in a depressed daze. She was holding her arms close to herself. Satoshi turned to her. Celeste jumped slightly as she felt hands rest on her shoulders. "Don't blame yourself. We'll go back and bring him back" though hid tone was the same as it usually was, flat and disintrested, Celeste could tell his words were filled with sympathy and encouragement. Celeste smiled softly "thank you Satoshi " "you don't need to thank me. You should know we'd do that anyway" he grumbled. He went to the bed were Yoshiki laid and took off his jacket and diguise's accessories. He laid down next to Yoshiki. Celeste blew out the candles then laid down in the bed. It felt so much bigger without him in it...
