				It had taken him a long time to find his soul mate but he had finally found it in another wolf, Kaden, and they had lived together quite happily for a good number of years until the hunters had come to destroy their kind. He never knew how they had discovered their location, for the pack moved almost all the time to prevent their enemies from finding them. Itsuki could still remember the fateful day when he had gone off to hunt for food during the night and come back to see his entire pack burning to death in the center of the village. He hadn't believed it at first but as he came closer it couldn't be denied.<br><br>Kaden had already passed away and the last of his pack were slowly dying in the fire and Itsuki had flown into a rage. The sort that he had never experienced before and before he knew it he had killed the entire village, leaving no one alive to tell the tale but it hadn't brought back his beloved mate and so he drifted off into the forest. He killed everything that crossed his path be it small or large and soon anything that moved or lived in the woods feared him for his ferocity and that was when he decided to curse the village that had been the end of his pack. It was the only thing that would calm him somewhat.<br><br>Anyone who tried to move in would be killed. But for that he needed a pack and so he plotted and eventually started up a new pack from the next few towns over, picking only the strongest and most intelligent for his followers. And so Itsuki's new pack was born and made a name for themselves all over the forest and watched over the village down below to make sure everyone would know that the place was cursed and all who lived there were destined to die a horrible death. Itsuki named his new pack Retribution for that was what it would do, deliver retribution to those who deserved it.<br><br>Many humans began to come to the village to settle down but they all ended up dying or fleeing the premises after seeing what had happened to the last residents. Those that fled did not get far though for once they had come with the intention of settling down, they were marked and eventually killed. Retribution was merciless. Soon enough the humans got the picture and instead of trying to re-settle in what was now known to be the Cursed Village, they became smarter and instead started up a new village a few miles away. This land flourished and soon became quite rich and fertile.<br><br>This in turn led to many other people coming to live here. The Cursed Village was still within vision range but was far enough away so that the curse did not fall upon the new village and Retribution was satisfied for in their minds the other village was not the one they were keeping a watch over. As long as the residents didn't come over to the Cursed Village they would be safe but they did keep a watch on the new civilization just in case they tried to expand for the second that happened it was over. They would be cursed and the temporary peace that held at the moment would be gone.<br><br>Itsuki sniffed the air in his wolf form as his smoldering golden eyes looked over the neighboring town to the Cursed Village and knew that some new residents had entered the place. Better get a look at them and see if they could be a threat. He ran over to another hill that overlooked the new village, lying down with his head between his paws as he watched an older man and woman enter and two youngsters followed behind their parents, a girl and a boy which was normal. But something made his attention stop on the boy and his golden eyes widened as he realized that the human reminded him of Kaden and he frowned.<br><br>What was going on here? Why did this boy resemble Kaden? It had to be his imagination, yes that was it. Itsuki looked again and yet the boy still looked like Kaden even though that was impossible and his attention was hooked on the human. He would have to pursue this kid to see what it meant. Perhaps he would infiltrate the village and engage in conversation with him although it was a risky thing to do but he needed to know why this kid looked like his long-dead mate. It made no sense. Now if he had come to the Cursed Village it would have made more sense but he hadn't, he'd gone with other humans to the neighboring village.<br><br>Who was he? Itsuki growled under his breath and shifted into his human form, naked of course but he wasn't worried about that since he'd observed this family from afar and they seemed to like helping others out. So instead of going through the trouble of getting clothing, Itsuki would simply go down there and let them give him some themselves. He had sent out a call to his pack before he'd shifted to let them know he was investigating something of importance and wouldn't be back for a few hours. They'd acknowledged this. Now all that remained was finding out who the hell this kid was and what he was doing here.<br><br>Itsuki made his way down the hill towards the house that stood on the edge of the forest where the boy lived with his parents. It was a nice location since it meant he didn't have to go down into the village itself which he had no intention of doing, he preferred watching them to make sure they didn't cause trouble rather than interacting with them. Itsuki knocked on the door of the house, completely naked as he waited for the door to open. He stood at around six feet and had a fairly muscular frame with brilliant green eyes and short dark hair, somewhat attractive to humans or so he'd been told but he didn't care about that.

				Upon pulling up to the three-story home situated at the forest's edge, the four doors to the black sedan popped open to reveal the four new tenants. There was the father, who stepped out of the driver's side door; a plain-looking, middle-aged man with a receding hairline. There was the mother, who emerged from the passenger's side door; a short if youthful sort of woman with dyed red hair and a bubbly air about her. Next came the daughter; a barely-sixteen blonde with short-shorts and a sparkly pink cell phone permanently fixed to her ear. Last was the son; an eighteen-year-old in ratty jeans and a t-shirt, brown-haired, green-eyed, and pretty tall for his age.<br><br>Mother, father, and son started unloading the car while the daughter, ever the over-achiever, traipsed around to the backyard to chat away about boys with her best friend back in Chicago.<br><br>"I thought we moved here to make sure that stupid phone of hers didn't get reception," the son, Aidan, said to his parents as he headed upstairs with a box for his bedroom.<br><br>Chicago hadn't quite been Alex's cup of tea. Honestly, it never had been. The concrete jungle with all the city noise and smog and traffic just didn't do it for him. He preferred wide open spaces, green fields, and trees that survived outside of store-bought potting soil. Like this little town. Yes, this place would do just fine. Granted, he wouldn't be staying for long. Just a year until he went away to college, and in the meantime, he would have to find a job in the better town about ten miles north.<br><br>Not a problem.<br><br>Upon hearing a knock at the door as he headed back downstairs, Alex stopped to give the doorway a curious expression. Who would be coming by <em>now</em>?<br><br>"Will you get that, Alex?" his mother called from the kitchen as she and her husband went about organizing what they had taken in so far.<br><br>"Yeah," came the disinterested reply. He had to go back outside for more boxes, anyway.<br><br>Opening the door, he quite nearly stumbled back at what he saw; a man looking about his height stood before him, bare-skinned from top to bottom. Just a tad bit taken off guard, Alex stammered, "What the Hell, man?"<br><br>He was just glad that his folks and his sister were too preoccupied to see this...

				Itsuki let his eyes flicker over Alex's body. He wasn't concerned that the other male might be a bit taken aback by his nude appearance, for he spent most of his time as a wolf and wolves didn't wear clothing, they had their fur to cover them. So he had forgotten humans wore clothing all the time that wasn't their skin. Unfortunately, when he shifted he was never able to keep clothing on him so it didn't really matter either way whether he knew about clothing or not because he didn't have any.<br><br>Alex's form was so much like Kaden's that Itsuki found himself getting a bit emotional but he struggled to keep himself under control for the last thing he wanted to do was weep on some human's shoulder. He could smell Alex and the scent was definitely human and not wolf. But that didn't mean his soul mate couldn't be reincarnated and perhaps this was his chance to have Kaden back again but he knew that it wouldn't be easy. It would take a long time to gain the other's trust.<br><br>This one was a human, not a wolf, and it would take a lot to make him into one without serious consequences which Itsuki wanted to avoid at all costs for he didn't want history to repeat itself when humans figured out they were not alone. Maybe he should be cautious and act slowly, try to become a part of their lives and then present his offer to Alex and he chewed on his bottom lip, trying to think about all the possible consequences. None of them sounded good, so he would have to avoid them.<br><br>Itsuki tilted his head to the side when Alex expressed how uncomfortable he seemed to be upon seeing him and he wondered if he really was Kaden and was a bit freaked out. No, it couldn't be. He was reading too much into it. Probably just a human boy uncertain about a stranger. "Please help me." Itsuki said as he looked up at the other male, hoping that the other would invite him inside because then it would be harder to get rid of him for he knew how most humans worked. Humans that weren't evil.<br><br>This family did not seem evil to him and so would help him out, he was sure of it. His dark hair and green eyes were quite beautiful, who could not love his looks?

				The stranger's delay in coming up with an answer unnerved Alex, to say the least. So too did the way that the man looked at him with a curious expression on his face, something in his eyes that the teen simply couldn't place. What was his deal? The youth wasn't even entirely sure that he wanted to know. But he had opened the door, so...<br><br>Then the man asked for help, and Alex found himself in a position where he was unable to say "no." He was pretty compassionate by nature, and surely, there had to be a logical explanation for why the stranger was standing out there naked. Chances were that he had run into trouble. Nodding, he stood back from the door and quietly ushered him inside.<br><br>"Try to be quiet," he told the stranger as he quickly moved him to the stairs. He didn't think his parents would be too keen on bringing a naked man they didn't know into the house - a detail he would work around a little later.<br><br>Up the stairs, he led the man into his bedroom, shut the door, and handed him a spare blanket from his bed with which to cover himself. "Until I can find you some clothes," he said, heading over toward the pile of boxes near his dresser and fishing through them in hopes of finding something that would fit him. They were about the same height and build, save for a few minor differences, which would work out in the stranger's favor.<br><br>"What happened to you, anyway?"

				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/dracour/korean2-1-1.jpg)</div>It was almost as though he were moving in a dream when the young man who stood before him nodded, stood back from the door and ushered him inside. Itsuki slipped in, at ease with his nakedness for it was a natural thing for him since he ran around as a wolf all the time and wolves didn't have clothing, they only had fur just as a human only had their skin to protect their bodies.<br><br>So he thought of his pale skin as clothing and wasn't entirely sure why Alex was looking at him strangely unless it was because he sensed somewhere deep inside him that he knew Itsuki and he hoped that was the case. Even if it wasn't, Itsuki was bound and determined to figure out why Alex looked so much like Kayden and what that meant for him and the pack.<br><br>He let his head dip slightly upon Alex's plea for him to be quiet and followed Alex up to his bedroom, nose twitching as he inhaled the young man's scent once more, holding back a whimper of longing. Itsuki wanted to mate with Alex. No, he wanted to mate with Kayden who he believed was Alex. He looked over at Alex when the male handed him a spare blanket from his bed and he took it, wondering what he was supposed to do with it.<br><br>Since Alex didn't tell him, he inclined his head and continued to hold it until Alex gave him some clothing from a box near his dresser and handed the items to him which Itsuki took and gave back the blanket. "I don't know. But I saw you and your family and thought you looked nice so I came here. You can help me, right?" Itsuki asked as he gazed up at him, giving the boy puppy dog eyes.<br><br>He'd found that was quite effective on humans and wasn't entirely sure why. But it was rather useful and he took advantage of everything he could since this was important to him. Itsuki had to find out if it was coincidence that this boy looked so much like Kayden or if it really had been Kayden, reincarnated. "What is your name?" Itsuki asked suddenly.<br><br>Could it be that this boy had the same name as his deceased partner? If so, this was more than a coincidence, this was fate and Itsuki would need to be the one to help Kayden recover his memory from his past life so they could be together once more. Even if Alex's name wasn't Kayden, Itsuki would remain until he'd discovered the young man's purpose here in this village. Perhaps if he could help he would and Kayden would return to him at some point.

				He didn't know? Alex found that just a little hard to believe. Then again, he supposed the concept wasn't so far fetched that it wasn't to be believed. Something had to have happened to the man for him to have just... stood out there with not a scrap of clothing. Still, whether or not he had a reason to go off of, Alex's compassionate personality didn't falter. Whatever had happened, he would help the stranger in any way he could.<br><br>"Sure, if I can," Alex affirmed with a nod. Admitted, he made a point of keeping his eyes averted simply out of courtesy until the other male had finished changing.<br><br>Alright, so it was two parts courtesy to one part attraction that he didn't think was something appropriate to act on. For one thing, he didn't know the man. Didn't know the first thing about him. For another thing, now simply wasn't the time. For yet another, the other man's sexual preference was unclear, as it should have been after knowing him all of two minutes.<br><br>He really was over-thinking all this.<br><br>Clearing his throat awkwardly, Alex crossed his arms, looked out the window for a distraction.<br><br>"Alex. What's yours?" Best to know that sooner rather than later, he thought.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/dracour/korean2-1-1.jpg)</div>It wasn't that Itsuki didn't know, it was just that he didn't feel comfortable letting Alex know he was a lycan or werewolf since that was something personal. Not to mention the fact that confessing something like that would probably make Alex think he were crazy. Itsuki preferred the term lycan for it sounded a lot cooler but humans had misunderstood them to be evil creatures.<br><br>That was why they tried hunting them down all the time and why they had burned his pack along with his soul mate, all because they were afraid of what they couldn't understand. Humans were like that all the time, they killed those they didn't understand. Itsuki understood this but he still would make the humans pay for what they had done for the things they had done were unforgivable.<br><br>The ones directly responsible had paid for their crimes but there would always be more and more and that was why Itsuki had to protect his new pack and the town. Which had once flourished. Now it remained silent and uninhabitable, not because of the land itself but because of the pack Retribution which kept it that way. Years had gone by and things had gone on normally. Until now.<br><br>When Itsuki had first caught a glimpse of Alex and his family. The young man had been an almost exact match for Kayden and Itsuki's heart had jumped the moment he'd seen him. One way or another he would find a way to make Kayden his again, he was sure of it. Itsuki let his eyes flicker over Kay-no-Alex's body and he let a soft sigh escape his lips.<br><br>A look of longing briefly could be seen before his lips parted.<br><br>Alex's former question was answered. "Itsuki. Do you not remember me?" He inquired, gazing deep into Alex's eyes as though trying to get him to recall something familiar about himself. Itsuki couldn't say he was a lycan right now, it was too soon and Alex didn't know him that well yet but he could say the words he had said. For he could simply brush off the question with a lie if nothing sparked.<br><br>But surely, Kayden was in there somewhere, lost and trying to fight his way out. Itsuki waited for something to happen. Something to let him know that he was not alone in this universe, that somehow Kayden would show him a sign that he was alive. In Alex.

				It seemed to take Itsuki a while to answer, but for what reason, Alex wasn't sure. What was he thinking about? The teen couldn't help but to be curious. After all, it wasn't every day that a naked man showed up on his doorstep, wound up in his room and...<br><br>Alright, he didn't need to go into all that. It was strange enough anyway, without analyzing it to death.<br><br>Still, he couldn't quite place the look in the stranger's eyes. He looked distant, thoughtful, as though his mind was far away while his body was still stuck in place. Alex would admit one thing to himself, the man was beautiful in his own way. Slightly rugged, but still very attractive.<br><br><em>Don't go there.</em><br><br>Finally, the stranger gave him his name. But with the added question, Alex quickly became confused. He was supposed to remember Itsuki? Why? Alex had never seen him before in his life, of that he was sure. And yet, now that Itsuki mentioned it, he was somehow familiar. But there could have been any number of reasons for that. The power of suggestion, for one. For another, well...<br><br>Okay, so he couldn't think of any other reasons. Nonetheless, that possibility held no water. None at all.<br><br>"... I'm sorry, I don't," he murmured at last.

				Once he thought he saw something in Alex's eyes and he hoped that the other would remember him. Biting his lip, Itsuki <em>willed</em> Alex to recall his soul mate but when told him that he didn't know him, Itsuki was rather crushed although he probably shouldn't be. Kayden's reincarnation would not be in control and he might not realize that he was safe, perhaps he was trying to hide himself so that he wasn't burned at the stake like the last time and Itsuki shuddered thinking about that.<br><br>"You're <em>sure</em>? There's nothing familiar about me at all? Nothing that tells you we have met before? Maybe shared some things together? Nothing?" Itsuki pressed, wanting to know if the other male he was talking to had sensed anything for if he hadn't it might take a bit to draw Kayden's spirit out of Alex. For Itsuki was still convinced that he had found his soul mate again, reincarnated in another's body but still they were together once more and he would never leave Kayden's side.<br><br>Not now that they had found each other. "May I stay with you here? I don't have a home to go to and I'd rather stay with people I know are friendly." Itsuki said as he waited for Kay-no-Alex to respond, damn it was going to be rather hard not to call him Kayden for he looked exactly like his old lover and he had to take a deep breath. Biting his tongue, Itsuki let it out a few moments later, breathing rather heavily for thinking about and seeing Kayden standing right here in front of him.<br><br>It was downright torture. He wanted to fuck him and have Kayden fuck him right back, to change positions, get the maximum amount of pleasure he could from both sides and make the heavens explode with their love. But he couldn't. Kayden didn't know who he was right now. Itsuki would have to wait, bide his time and then show him that it was safe to reveal himself, that was all there was to it and he would be patient, he <em>had</em> to be patient. Yet it would be the hardest thing he would ever do.<br><br>Why couldn't things just be simple and easy? Itsuki and Kayden had been soul mates. They could be so again because their souls had not changed, just their bodies and yet Kayden's body looked exactly the same and it was making Itsuki become quite horny. "Tell me if you remember this." Itsuki finally said, not being able to hold himself back any longer. He had thought he could be patient but no, he had to at least touch those lips once and then he could restrain himself.<br><br>Yes, what he was doing might be reckless but it was Kayden, Kayden wouldn't hurt him. Even if Kayden were locked away inside and couldn't come out. Without another word, Itsuki crossed the short distance between him and Alex and the lycan's lips fell upon those of the human's as Itsuki kissed him passionately. With every fiber of his being he poured his love for Kayden into the kiss. It lasted for quite some time and then he pulled away reluctantly.<br><br>Once he had returned back down to earth, Itsuki let his eyes fix upon those of Alex's waiting for some sign of recognition.

				With Itsuki pressing him for information, doing quite a lot more than simply suggesting that the two of them knew each other when Alex was quite sure of the contrary, the teen didn't know what to think. He knew for a fact that the two of them didn't know each other, knew that he had never seen Itsuki before in his life. So why was he insisting the exact opposite?<br><br>"No," he said, a little uneasy. How was he supposed to react to this? The instinctive paranoia built into practically every human on the planet wanted to say that Itsuki was a little... off his rocker to be so adamant about this, to be so insistent upon the fact that they knew one another, when Alex was sure that they didn't. But, maybe he was just a little mixed up. "I don't think it's possible that we've ever met before. I'm sorry."<br><br>Just after that, however, Itsuki was questioning him again, this time asking if he would be permitted to remain here. Oh, Alex wasn't so sure about that... What would his parents say if he brought home a strange man who had shown up naked at their doorstep to live with them?<br><br>Now <em>that</em> would have been crazy. But how could he say no?<br><br>Alex was about to answer with something vague, but that was when Itsuki closed the distance between them both and kissed him.<br><br>Alex wasn't sure about <em>this</em>, either. He wasn't exactly gay, but... alright, he wasn't exactly straight, either. He didn't know what he was, caught in that awkward teenage phase whether either could have applied and he simply wouldn't have been too sure or even too particular. Yet there he was, being kissed by another man.<br><br>It was sudden, it was wrong, and... Alex sort of liked it. It should have been wrong, but somehow, it felt right, and so it was with just a little reluctance that the teen returned the gesture, hoping to whatever God existed that his parents didn't walk into his room anytime soon.<br><br>A good while later, Itsuki had drawn away, leaving Alex quite breathless.<br><br>"... I..." He cleared his throat. "What did you... do that for?"

				Yes, he was probably making Kayden's human counterpart a bit uneasy but Itsuki didn't care, not if it got his beloved soul mate back again. He would do anything to have Kayden return so they could be together as they had been in the past, alive and happy. Words did not seem to get through to him and so there was only one thing left to do. A kiss.<br><br>Surely Kayden would recall how it felt to press his soft lips up against that of Itsuki's and give himself over to the lust and love that burned within them both. It was just as he had remembered although a bit different. After all it was a human here and not a wolf but the feelings that rose up in him were the same as the ones he had shown Kayden.<br><br>When Itsuki finally drew away, he looked expectantly at Kayden and when the human asked what he had done that for Itsuki was crushed. He dropped to his knees and stared at the floor, unseeing as he tried to figure out what had gone wrong. Had he made a mistake? Or was it just too difficult to break through Kayden's human counterpart?<br><br>What did he need to do? After what seemed like a few minutes he snapped out of his depression and was going to apologize for spacing out when he realized Alex was no longer in the room. Eh? Where had the human gone? Itsuki stood as he looked around to see if the boy was hiding somewhere. Hopefully he hadn't scared him off.<br><br>Okay, he needed to calm down, not that he was excited or anything but he probably had come across as a freak or worse a psycho. Next time he saw the kid he would try and act like a normal guy. It was for the best. His clothing seemed to be okay since Alex had given him some clothes that fit him for the most part so that was fine.<br><br>Now all he had to do was put a different attitude on. What did these humans like again? Itsuki had to think for a moment and then finally came up with one he remembered seeing on some of the responsible humans who looked after children down in the village. Now all that remained was for Alex to return, so he would wait in his bedroom.<br><br>Itsuki did not know that Alex's parents and his sister were also in the house who might come in as well, for he had forgotten that.

				Upon leaving the room, Alex had to struggle with his lungs for breath. Suddenly, his heart was pounding and he was blushing like crazy. Why had Itsuki done that? Surely, he didn't think... Okay, so Alex was ambiguous when it came to his sexuality, but that didn't mean that he went around kissing men and it certainly didn't mean that he enjoyed it.<br><br>Alright, that wasn't entirely true.<br><br>Alex had enjoyed it. He had even kissed back a little. But his nerves had gotten the better of him and yanked him away from the man, despite almost wanting him to continue. Despite feeling a certain... connection to him that he couldn't explain.<br><br>Why the connection, though? He had never even met the guy before.<br><br>Alex took a short while away from Itsuki and went downstairs to do a little preemptive damage control with his parents. As far as they knew, Itsuki was simply a little confused and needed some time to get back on his feet. Of course, both mother and father thought Alex was crazy to take in a man they didn't even know, but after some finagling, he convinced them that it wouldn't be so bad.<br><br>Itsuki could stay out in the pool house until further notice, and he would be Alex's responsibility. Fair enough. Alex had brought him in, after all.<br><br>The teen did, however, tactfully neglect to mention everything that had followed letting him in.<br><br>Finally, Alex collected himself and headed back upstairs. Closing his bedroom door behind him, he looked to Itsuki a bit nervously.<br><br>"... My parents... said you can stay as long as you room in the pool house out back," he said. "It's furnished and whatnot, so you won't be staying in a shack or anything, so..."

				Had it been his imagination or had Alex actually kissed him back a bit? Itsuki tried to remember but he couldn't figure out if he had only <em>wanted</em> the male to, or if it had actually happened. Damn. He looked up when Alex came in again and was reminded that other people lived in the house as well, namely his sister and parents.<br><br>Too bad. It was really too bad that they weren't alone or else Itsuki could have shown Alex quite a few things about sex. If they had sex, surely he would remember him, he had to. Perhaps he should force the issue but then again he didn't want to cause any pain to his lover even if he didn't remember him at the moment.<br><br>Eventually one day he would and Itsuki would be there for him. That was a promise. "I can't stay with you? As your roommate? I can be an excellent cook and I can clean as well." Itsuki said hopefully, for he wanted to prove he could be useful around the house in order to stay in Alex's room with him.<br><br>If he showed Alex's parents he was responsible and could be trusted and gave something in return to the family perhaps he could convince them. He was sure he could do it. For he wanted nothing to come between him and Alex. They needed to bond again and once they had then Kayden's spirit could come through, he was certain of it.<br><br>This boy had to be Kayden's reincarnation, he <em>had</em> to be. Itsuki tried to calm himself down for the last thing he wanted was for Alex to get frightened off. But if there was no way for him to stay in Alex's room he would take the pool house and creep over at night to stay with Alex. Of course Alex wouldn't mind. He was Kayden after all. Right?<br><br>In the past they had shared their lives together and knew everything about the other. Those things didn't just go away, not even if they were reincarnated for there were some things that couldn't be changed. They would still have certain urges or likes or dislikes, their human counterparts might not be able to explain it but they would have them.<br><br>Such as a hankering for some special sort of food, a way they liked it cooked. Or even that they liked sex in a certain way. They might even say things in a certain way or have a phrase they used to use.

				In Alex's short experience with the man, Itsuki was nothing if not persistent. About everything. About knowing him when Alex was certain that he didn't, about kissing him when they didn't even know each other, and now about staying in not only his house, but his bedroom.<br><br>Alex genuinely sympathized with Itsuki's... odd state of being, but he thought perhaps that would be a step too far. He knew nothing about the other male, how did he know that he could trust him? Especially after that kiss... Alex hardly wanted to stereotype the guy, but he couldn't help thinking that he would attack him in his sleep or something.<br><br>Still...<br><br>Itsuki did seem very genuine in his own way. And whether he liked it or not, Alex couldn't help feeling a certain connection to him. Like this was supposed to be happening, like it was normal. But it was only a fleeting sensation, surely it didn't mean anything.<br><br>Right?<br><br>"... Maybe after a night or two," Alex offered. At the moment, it was the only option that he could extend. "I had a hard enough time convincing my parents to let you stay at all. I mean, we just moved here, so... But if things work out over the next few days, yeah, you can move in here instead. For a while."<br><br>This wasn't a permanent arrangement by any means. One way or another, Alex was determined to find out what had happened to Itsuki, why he had showed up at a stranger's doorstep naked and supposedly in trouble. It wasn't as though he didn't trust the man, but the circumstances were rather odd...

				Attacking Alex was the last thing in his mind but of course the young man couldn't know that since he didn't seem to remember knowing him at all. That was the most frustrating part, he <em>knew</em> it was Kayden and yet his lover couldn't remember and so he had to figure out a way to make him recall the past or rather his past life.<br><br>But how was he to do that? Itsuki sighed when Alex told him 'maybe' after a night or two but he didn't want to push him too hard so soon or else he might end up scaring Alex which was something he had no intention of doing. If he frightened him it was less likely that Alex would try to get to know him and Itsuki needed Alex to do that or else he would never remember who he really was.<br><br>"So tell me about yourself, Alex. Why did you move in here? Did your parents get a job down here or something?" Itsuki asked, trying to lighten the mood a bit and let his eyes flicker over the young man for a brief moment and smiled at him, charming down to the last bone in his body.<br><br>He could hear the sounds of his pack moving in the distance getting a bit restless even though he had told them that he might be gone for a few days. Hopefully they wouldn't get into too much mischief or else he would need to return to set them in line, no one would be taking his place in the pack no matter how much time had passed.<br><br>That he would make sure of, he wasn't here to stay with this human family, he was here to get his soul mate back upon which he would return to the pack with Kayden. Then, everything would be fine once more. They could try and make a life again perhaps, depending on what Kayden wanted to do and Itsuki would be happy once again.<br><br>That was the plan at any rate, whether it would come to pass was entirely up to Alex and his memory for Itsuki didn't want to take him against his will. He was his lover after all! One couldn't make a good relationship work if one member was forced into it unless it was roleplaying.<br><br>Itsuki let his eyes flicker across Alex's body and his extra sharp hearing could tell that Alex's family were moving downstairs, apparently getting ready to start dinner. Sooner or later they would come up and tell them to come down for food. That was when they would finally meet him.
