Affront a multi-tiered building stood a young wolf, around 14 years old, spiky long hair and oddly a black iris. The wolf feeling overwhelmed with sadness, and grief. He waited outside the building as the snow began to fall, The fury of the wind hissed and whirled.A figure that appeared blurry began to approach him aside with two cops.
''Oklain?'' the young wolf asked curiously.
The figure was no longer a blur, it was a wolf just like the smaller one but taller, and had even more bangs and spiky, long hair.
''Your Oklain, you address me by?''
''Father'' Oklain didn't look at his father.
''Oklain, why do you hate me so much?'' The tall wolf glanced down at the much smaller Oklain
''Can you at least tell me why I have to be here?'' The younger Oklain whined.
''I can't put you in an orphanage or else my enemies will find you, And I can no longer trust anyone, I was double crossed by the godfather and three people I trusted''
''Then why did you kill a cop?''
''I have no blood on my hands, I never killed anyone, I just got someone else to do it for me''
''Why isn't he going to jail then''
''He double crossed me as well, but don't hate him or me, hate that bitch''
''Who?''
''The cop, she's the reason why everyone back stabbed me, she's the reason why you have to go here, she's not a even a cop, she's just a corrupt cop thats bleeding the town dry, maybe I should of killed her son right in front of her...''
One of the cops aside him coughed.
''Go to hell! I can say whatever the I want to, I'm sure no one will take kindly to police brutality either''
Even the younger Oklain was surprised, his father always had outbursts like this
''Now can I have a word with my son?!''
One of the cops yawned then dully replied.
''You may but if you try to run away or anything we will have the authority to shoot you down''
The cop's stepped back, not taking there accusing stare off of the older Oklain
''Sorry that I have to put you here, it's for your own safety, in facilities like these they don't even allow pens practically, so I can rest assured your safe''
''People will always scar me, I don't want to be considered insane all because of safety''
''Look, to them they'll see you as a victim suffering a tragedy, they'll see me as the basterdizing father who tormented his son''
The younger Oklain remained silent.
''If it makes you happy my greatest regrets aren't all the people that died because of me....It's telling you your mother was a hooker and putting you in here''
''Was she?''
''I'm afraid I never lied the first time I told you this Oklain...'' The taller wolf seemed slightly depressed as well.
The younger Oklain began walking towards the institution, as he walked up the steps towards the door, he absorbed all of the concrete as he stepped on it.He was very reluctant to enter, why did he have to suffer because of his Father...because of that cop...
''Good bye Oklain...'' His father cried out surprisingly weak. Oklain entirely ignored his fathers good bye, Oklain ignored his fathers plea's for forgiveness, Oklains father knew his son hated him.
Winter did not stop as he entered the building, the cold from the outdoors did not compare to the isolation Oklain would feel for 2 years. Though Oklain often felt sorry for the victims of his fathers wrath, all except one, The corrupt cop he was almost glad she was dead.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Still in the limousine, the figures would continue to wait.
''Why are we still waiting here?'' The Jackal groaned.
''We're waiting for Oklain'' The Fox replied grimly.
Obviously the Jackal was distressed at hearing this.
''Are you insane? he's the enemy!''
''Look I have it all according to plan'' The fox stretched his feet in the back of the limousine lazily.
''You mean you planned this?'' The Jackal glared towards the Fox.
''Yes, just trust me''
''So you mean we practically ''High jacked'' this limousine, from our own damn mob?''
''So? it's called 'style'?''
''What if your plan fails? then we'll have Oklain wanting to kill us and even our own allies''
''Well you can't really turn back now''
''I'm the one that's driving this damn thing not you''
The Jackal almost instantly became aware that wasn't the best thing to say, in contrast to this the Fox pulled out a gun and aimed it at the Jackal.
''I'm the one with the gun''
The Jackal sighed, he was friends with this Fox...and yet the Jackal found, his own friend pointing a gun at him. The jackal put his head down on the wheel wondering how long his friend was like this, how long his friend would kill him over meager things. Soon though he took a notice to his friend speaking in the back.
''Damn he's still out like a light...'' The Fox glared down at Lexiharin, he switched his personalities extremely fast all the time...
''I hope we didn't kill him...''
''Bah who cares''
''How much of an ass whole are you?''
''Enough to be one apparently''
''Why are we doing this...''
''It doesn't matter, no ones suffering, this fox boy won't have any bad memories because he probably won't even awake until this is over''
''And what if he does?''
''He suffered for the greater good!''
''We are nothing but mobsters...what good is there in that''
''Nothing but mobsters? are you insane? mobsters have perfected crime, we are what perfected cunning! In my opinion Gangsters are worthless, nothing but hopeless wanna b's''
''To me we're all the same, in the end we kill people''
''I never killed someone yet''
''Pointing a gun at your best friend? Holding a random fox hostage over your own ambitions?''
''Keep on complaining all you want Resirin, I can justify anything, You know I wasn't really going to shoot you''
''Only because you know I'm to much of a coward to drive this damn thing, what if I did turn back. What would you do then? shoot me? or would you only give me a warning shot, in the leg?''
The Fox's remained silent, soon following this so did the Jackal.
''I suppose I gotten a bit greedy with this thing'' the fox smirked.
''Good to see your finally listening''
''Here you have the pistol''
The Fox forcefully took Resirins paw and wrapped it around the gun holding,forcefully binding his hands to the trigger pointing it towards the fox.
''This is how holding a gun is, isn't it wonderful?'' The Fox mocked.
''Let go goddammit''
The fox pushed Resirins hand against the trigger slightly, it pulled back.
''What the hell do you think your doing?'' Risirin started to get worried.
''How does it feel when the triggers on your own friend, come on you can be honest''
''Will you stop? something might slip...''
''You'd probably shoot me right now, if there was no consequence, you wouldn't have to worry about waking up the next morning finding me dead, you could shoot me 5 more times for your enjoyment if you wanted to''
The trigger fully leaned back and a click was heard, the fox let go of Resirins hand and swiped the gun, then he started laughing.
''There was no bullets in it'' The Fox smirked.
Resirin wasn't at all amused about the joke, he almost actually broke into tears. He was a total coward, he was easily talked into things he didn't want to do, especially by his friend.
''Seriously though, that's exactly how easy it is to kill a man'' The Fox was smiling now.
''I thought you said you never killed anyone''
''Oh I didn't, but thats how easy it can be''
''How can you not feel consequences for killing someone? how can you not feel remorse?''
''Simple, You'd never see them again even if you didn't kill them, so its like nothing really happened....just don't ever look at their eyes, and kill them without them knowing so you never hear their screams''
''I hate you...''
''You know right there your lying, If you didn't have a girl friend you'd probably turn gay for me''
Resirin's ''Girlfriend'' was now a fiance, his friend, Hall *The Fox* was devastated, he would always complain on how Resirin never knew her as long as he had known Hall, only 1 year and they were engaged. Meanwhile Hall knew Resiren 17 years, Hall's personalities always switched oddly, but they have been more massive sense Resiren knew her, he was miserable.
Resirin muttered to himself. He stared outside the limousine and all he saw was pitch black, he waited all day in that limousine, constantly being irritated by his friend. He soon put to thought about what his friend said...
''I don't think I'm amusing you a lot'' Hall grinned.
''Trust me, you really aren't so just stop''
''How bout we have some ''fun'' with our guest here?''
''he's only ...er...whatever his age is...a teenager?''
''You really took that the wrong way, did you think I was implying rape?''
''Well what the hell were you implying?''
Hall began petting Lexiharins fur.
''An unconscious Fox as a pet!''
A sudden silence filled the limousine until Lexiharin murred.
Resiren almost jumped in shock, hopefully he didn't awake?
''Aw, he likes being petted even when he's unconscious''
Resirin still remained silent, it's not like his friend was hurting the Fox...but he was in worry, what if everything went wrong?
''O come on whats wrong with an unconscious fox? I can even accessorize him.
Resiren wondered if Oklain would even show up...he didn't even know why the hell Hall wanted to defect, he hated surprises...especially when they came from Hall.
''Odd...'' Hall gazed at an unconscious Lexiharin.
''What's odd?'' Resiren asked curiously.
''This lil' fox here, I smell a bit of wolf from him''
''Probably a crossbreed''
A knock suddenly came upon the door.
''Who the hell?'' Resirin was surprised by the sudden knocking, accidentally Hall dropped Lexiharin.
''It might be him!'' Hall opened the door and saw a wolf standing outside, instantly just by how he looked he knew it was Oklain.
''Hey....your hair isn't slicked back like most mob bosses''
''Is there really a problem with that?'' Oklain stepped in the limousine and instantly sat down, now it was his limousine.
''Where the hell are your henchmen??''
''Henchmen are lame, you only see that crap in movies, I have my ''family'', but at the moment I'm a lone wolf.
Resirin was worried, Oklain didn't have the usual mob boss like attitude...
''What was your plan exactly?''
''So you've noticed?''
''I truthfully expected this to be an ambush''
''You walked alone here and expected an ambush?''
''I brang a lot of money..good for a bribe they probably would have second thoughts on killing me, hopefully you like it as well, I have a lot with me''
''Yes I do enjoy money'' The Fox smirked at Oklain.
''If I'm correct, your plan was taking one of Sekhai's friends, using him to get to me because you figure I'd be intrigued to get Sekhai. and now you probably wish a specific offer?''
''Sort of...''
''Your implying I'm wrong?''
''My friend here knows someone named Oklain, this pathetic wolf that has the same name as you, I found out he is possibly friends with the son of the female cop, I can tell you where they both are and you can rub them out, I just want a high position in your mob in return''
''How utterly amusing'' Oklain grinned deviously.
''huh?''
''Your friend here driving the car, he knows something, can you tell him a small secret?''
Resirin honestly didn't expect Oklain to ask him of something.
''Tell him Oklain's full name''
''Oklains full name is Oklain II, Sarithaid''
''Good now tell our fox friend my full name''
''Oklain Sarithaid''
''Hopefully Fox you noticed a connection?''
''You can't be serious...''
''You called my son a pathetic wolf, and you have just givin me worthy information, he knows Sekhai! I can just kill you right now and I'll still have claimed my prize'' The wolf seemed quite pleased with himself.
The Fox quickly drew out his pistol and aimed it at Oklain.
''Aw you can't kill me either I'm afraid, you can't return to your mob after disobeying their orders, and if you kill me my gang will be after you as well''
''I will shoot!''
''Why are you stalling? afraid or out of bullets?''
''Perhaps we'll have a trade then...'' The Fox still had the weapon fixed on Oklain.
''First I wish to see you take out the guns clip''
''Er...''
''Why are you stalling?''
''This gun doesn't really have any bullets in it...''
''You hopefully know that trick never works on a mob boss, I was actually hoping you had bullets so I could believe you had balls, now you just appear to be an idiot''
Oklain took out a pistol and held it.
''This is a German Luger, built in ww2 obviously, noticed something special about it?''
''it...it's chamber is red and the rest of it is black?'' Obviously the fox was intimidated.
''Why yes that's correct, I could've had it gold if I wanted to''
''It must be worth a lot''
''A lot more then you, never been fired, i'd say it must be a lot, if I ever fire this even once, the value his halved.''
The Fox felt a sigh of relief until he heard a sudden bang that broke the silence, quickly he shifted his eyes towards a wound, he was overwhelmed with both shock and pain.
Resirin leaped at the sudden sound and glanced at the rear view mirror and saw his friend bleeding. o my god I'm going to die he thought to him self.
''You see, I'm a mob boss and your a beneath me because I have enough back bone, I can get another gun, its as expendable as your damn life, meanwhile your nothing but jumpy, never pull a pistol on me again unless you have something in it. I'll just get 5 more of these pistols if I want to''
Resirin stared at the rear view mirror, apparently his friend was right, Resirin didn't hate him, for he soon found him self aching with even more worry, more worry not on his own life but of his friend lying there...bleeding...
''Drive this limousine to Oklain's''
''Ye-yes sir...''
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
''Amber, sorry that I've been gone for so long'' Oklain looked down at the ground in a daze, he didn't know why, but he hated it.
''Where have you been so long? there have been rumors you were in the nut house''
''I was''
''Seriously?''
''My father forced me into one''
''He's the one that went to prison, I say he should go to a mental hospital, not you''
''I don't know I'm feeling quite insane now...''
''How come? whats wrong? you don't need to hold back your emotions just because your a guy''
''First of all can we stop meeting here?''
''Huh?''
''Sorry...I just find that sun annoying''
''Why? are you a vampire suddenly?'' Amber laughed, but sadly to Oklain it sounded artificial.
''Don't worry I haven't gone emo...''
''Truthfully Oklain you never liked people much before anyway...''
''True, but I never complained on the sun before''
''Why do you suddenly hate it?''
''Did I ever tell you my black eyes cause me to be blind''
''Really? so...is that why you'd ignore me until you saw me up close?''
''Yeah, after being away from sunlight so long, I just can't bear to be around it, I don't see a blur when the suns out, all I see is...Distorted figures''
''Huh?''
''You don't even seem like you anymore, even when your up close, I can only see people inside buildings''
''You've been in that long?''
''I don't know, its just very hard to see''
''Where do you live anyway? your fathers in prison so you must live in an orphanage''
''I took some money from my fathers account, I live on my own''
''I'm not sure if I can say I approve of that...''
''He won't need it, he's rich, and he's also in prison''
''So should we go there?''
Oklain embraced Amber, she could feel more regret then love...
''Yes...and Amber I'm sorry I couldn't have been a better person..''
''You once were happy...you just changed suddenly...even before your father went to prison...why don't you just tell me what happened?''

lApartment 648l
Oklain grumbled to himself a few swear words upon waking up, He didn't expect to have memories...hell he didn't even expect to have a dream. He woke up in disappointment finding the alcohol didn't work, he shouldn't have dream t anything. He had his usual migraine, Oklain didn't have any aspirin,Advil,Exceteran, or even Ekiyabe. As much of an alcoholic Oklain was, he was never a ''Pain Relief junkie'' though truthfully he had to admit now he began to wish he were.
He gazed upon the room and came to the conclusion he definitely was in reality once more, of course though the migraine alone answered that in the first place. He began to gaze around the room and saw a disoriented figure, must've been Sekhai.
Oklain decided to make a small gamble whether it was Sekhai or not.
''Lexiharin must be more important to you then I thought isn't he?'' Oklain asked with his standard grumble.
Sekhai gazed at Oklain and just sighed.
''I lost someone that was important to me as well, I'm sure a lot of people do though''
Sekhai doubted Oklain was aware of the fact Sekhai wasn't just friends with Lexiharin...
The phone rang, instead of putting any emotion in the matter Oklain just got up and walked to it, wasn't he at all worried?
''Hello?'' Oklain spoke.
''Hey Oklain I found your friend''
''Resirin? you sound worried...''
''Actually I am...''
Unexpectedly Resirin hung up.
Oklain placed down the phone, often times when Resirin was distressed he acted...awkward...so Oklain eventually adapted to it.
''Lexi-''
''Yes they found him'' Oklain walked over to the bar and instantly began to pour him self some liquor, moonshine in a tall glass, was he trying to kill himself?
''Uh Oklain...shouldn't moonshine be taken in shots? or slugs?''
''Celebration drink'' he quickly shot back, soon following this Oklain drank a fair portion of the moonshine.
''I just have a question, How the hell do you have any contacts, aren't you a loner?''
''Those labels are for idiots with thoughts more 2 dimensional then a cartoon'' Oklain began to grumble as usual.
Oddly this reminded Sekhai of Lexiharin, just like Oklain he didn't believe in labels...but he didn't give the same answer of course.
''But you never socialize much...uh do you?''
''Not really, but it's actually a bit scary when you think how much people want to kill you just because you share the same name as someone else, it's a good thing they don't know I'm actually related to him...''
''I figure one of your contacts has been helping you keep that a secret?''
''Yes, Resirin he's one of my most trusted friends''
''You actually have friends after all?''
''We don't really speak much,he's actually in the rival gang''
''I heard a female speaking, was that Amber?'' Sekhai asked curiously.
''Yes...I knew you heard something!''
''I never heard what you said though, you do know it actually is hard to hear you when you grumble''
Through the window Oklain took notice as the headlights of a vehicle began to shone down the road, then they stayed in one place, clearly the vehicle was now parked.
''They're here'' Oklain dully claimed, at least he wasn't at his standard grumble.
Sekhai almost imagined how odd it would be if Oklain became an actor...he'd only suit the role for a zombie, soon though Sekhai's vision was destroyed as reality charged in at the slam of the door, he looked up and noticed Oklain was surprised, then he finally took notice upon the figure. It was a wolf just like Oklain, almost the same features except his eyes were blue and he oddly seemed more youthful then Oklain, Sekhai knew it was not who Oklain had claimed... but instead it was his father...
The younger Oklain didn't even look at his fathers eyes, he practically just stared blindly.
''I found your friend, Resirin merely drove me, I'm amused, you actually made friends with the enemy?'' The older Oklain glared down at his younger counterpart.
Oklain could see why Resirin was worried...he wondered if his father would actually kill Resirin because he was in the rival gang.
Sekhai was surprised at noticing how old Oklain seemed compared to his father, he seemed flushed out of any emotion, meanwhile his father seemed youthful and very well alive.
''Well he has kept everything a secret''
''Really? hmm'' The taller Oklain seemed to be in thought.
Sekhai hoped the other Oklain wouldn't notice him, he merely stood there in an awkward silence, hoping he would be left unnoticed.
''Well I brought your friend back either way''
''You went out of your work to actually save someone?'' Oklain's tone finally had some emotion, surprise.
''Not really I just gained two people in my gang, thats figuring if the other one lives''
''What are you talking about?'' Oklain's gaze wasn't even at his fathers face, he couldn't even glare at him.
''I had to shoot one of them to make a small point, I don't like people thinking me as an idiot''
''Did you shoot the Jackal or the Fox?''
''The Fox''
Sekhai almost went into a shock when he heard the elder Oklain.
The elder Oklain glared at Sekhai with malevolence, Sekhai just looked back hopefully not getting him angered.
''You do know I noticed you the entire time, right?''
Sekhai just stood there.
''Well it's nice to see I'm very popular here, I have one of you crying non stop, one unconscious, one ruining the limousine by bleeding, a son that can't even look me straight in the eyes, and an ocelot that can't even say a single word''
''Resirins crying?''
''If you mean the Jackal then yes, I myswell leave, next time if you need help your on your own''
''Thanks'' Oklain grumbled, Sekhai wasn't sure if it was fake, sarcastic or even sincere.
''Yeah, whatever'' The door slammed.
''Did he even notice the cut on your cheek?'' Sekhai asked curiously.
''I honestly don't care, not like it's much of an injury...nothing alcohol couldn't fix''
Sekhai noticed Oklain never had a drink the entire time his father was here, oddly Oklain didn't seem to mind.
''So how you like my father?'' Oklain sighed sarcastically.
''Hate him still'' Sekhai replied.
''Good to see we can finally agree on something''
Meanwhile as the elder Oklain walked he soon found himself within the beautiful summer night, everything was calm, he approached the limousine at last and began to speak to Resirin.
''Tomorrow you work for me, if your not there you will still be considered the enemy, tell your friend he's also employed if he lives, this limousine is yours still''
''T-thanks' Resirin stuttered.
Almost instantly the tall wolf vanished in the night, Resirin went in the back of the limousine and grabbed a hold of Lexiharin whom was still unconscious, he worried more still, Resirin hoped the elder Oklain never told his son it was indeed Resirin who was a part of the abduction. He just wanted to get out of there and drive his friend to the hospital.
Resirin opened the door and stumbled in, he wasn't strong at all so carrying a fox 6 years younger than him was actually an accomplishment.
''Thanks Resirin'' Oklain's voice was dull...did he ever have any happiness in his voice?
''Sorry Oklain no time to speak, Hall's dieing'' quickly Resirin found a convenient chair to place Lexiharin on then quickly ran off towards the limousine, soon it would vanish as well.
Sekhai gazed at Lexiharin unconscious.
''You think he'll wake up?'' Sekhai asked worriedly.
''If your saying he's in a coma I doubt it, truthfully though I don't know how the hell he was in that state, Resirin would've probably drivin' him to the hospital as well as Hall if he was in one'' Oklain reassured Sekhai.
Sekhai only remained silent, Lexiharin has been gone for two days and when Sekhai finally saw him he was unconscious, he began to wonder for those two days if Lexiharin ever woke up.
''I doubt you want to be here any longer, I suppose I'll get you a taxi'' Oklain siged.
''You think I should bring him to my place or to his?''
''I honestly think you'd know the answer'' Oklains gave Sekhai his standard emotionless, yet surely accusing stare.
''His parents must be worried then...'' Sekhai Frowned.
Sekhai glanced at Oklain as he walked towards the phone, Sekhai wondered...despite Oklains troubles, at least he never had to worry about not having enough money to pay taxes or to have enough money to have food on the table.
It was clear that Sekhai was desperately trying to take his mind off the fact that his friend, Lexiharin was unconscious for two entire days. Truthfully he was unaware whether he had the burden of feeling utterly depressed or the irritation of worry, or even Joy sense at least he knew Lexiharin wasn't definitely dead.
He remained silent thinking, recalling memories. It's funny on how the first memory any creature can ever recall is always a painful one. A specific memory that teaches us, trial and error. Now though all Sekhai could recall something that appealed entirely trivial.
A trivial fact that had no importance or affect on anything, Sekhai remembered the time Lexiharin told him his actual name.
Lexiharin was to long of an actual name after all, His real name was Lexin, his last name Hari A specific religious figure. Basically he just changed the place where the n was.
Covered as if a shade blocked him from the rest of reality, Sekhai still merely sat there trancscending his numerous thoughts, Soon though he was interrupted. It probably was the taxi, he got up slowly and shouldered Lexiharin towards the cab. As he passed Oklain it would appear he muttered good bye.
Lexiharin was a lot more skinnier then Sekhai had expected, must've been all the baggy clothes he usually wore that made Sekhai think different. Sekhai opened the door and with the wonderful calm breeze of the wind he was slightly relieved, he never realized how humid it was in Oklains apartment.
Sekhai alongside with an unconscious Lexiharin entered the cab in silence as the cab driver would soon speak.
''To much alcohol?'' The cab driver asked curiously.
Lexiharin never even went near alcohol, he didn't like the way his father turned up from it. Meanwhile Sekhai though would drink time after time, of course along with his mother being ignorant of him doing so. The drinks would often come cheap but the price he would pay was guilt.
Sekhai really didn't need a cab driver questioning him, he was to distressed to come up with anything to say other then a rather simple yet straight forward answer.
''Yes'' Sekhai answered with the lack of emotion, at least he never grumbled like Oklain.
''You really shouldn't drink so much, at your age'' Great, a lecture that Sekhai really didn't need, he tried to block out the cab driver, but sadly his voice pierced like a shriek in the dead of the night.
''Hopefully the hangover will fix you kids up...'' Was he even talking to them any more? or was that rhetorical?
Finally the cab came to a halt outside of Lexiharins apartment, and clouds began to enshroud over the moon soon the town would envelope in a darkness. Funny how the sky affected Sekhai's moral upon Lexiharin being unconscious.
Sekhai lifted Lexiharin once more and carried the meager fox towards his house, Oklain would pay the taxi driver after all. Sekhai had another burden, he began to wonder whether Lexiharins parents would blame him for the occurances of that night...
Sekhai waited and sighed, he was actually beginning to be a nervous wreck with all the sudden things coming up.
The door shot open and affront of Sekhai stood a male wolf, Sekhai really couldn't tell who this was.
''Where did you find him?'' The wolf asked.
Sekhai decided not to answer that exactly truthful.
''Near Ivory street'' Sekhai noted, technically this was true sense Oklain lived on Brantford, which was adjacent to Ivory street.
''Thank you then, and yes I'm his father'' The wolf seemed probably as stressed as much as Sekhai was worried.
''Oh and you can just go home, I'm sure you really don't want to explain everything that happened'' The wolf instantly closed the door .Sekhai either didn't get along good with wolves or alcoholics.
As he walked away confused...he was actually relieved on how he didn't ask any questions, Sekhai just wanted to go home, and so within the night he began to run towards his house, for after he got out of the storm within his own conflicts, he walked into an actual one, for it began to rain massively.
As he walked home he could only hope Lexiharin would be awake...but when he came to this thought he wondered...how did he get in that state in the first place? was all that it seemed...or was there something he missed and as Sekhai looked down at his paw now currently wet...he saw blood.
