Beautiful Monster
Valuable Minutes

The sound of birds chirping was heard into the cave. Miho opened her eyes while wriggling lightly as her deep sleep awoke. He raised his head, realizing that he had been sleeping all night hugging Yujiro.

"Yujiro?" call Miho to make sure that the man is still alive. But shortly called, Yujiro's eyes opened.

Miho was relieved that the blue highlight was still there, unlike when the man went berserk where the blue color had turned red.

Yujiro left his wings open so that Miho could get away from him after a night of hugging.

"Yujiro, can you? I want to treat your wounds," Miho's squatting plea stroked Yujiro's head which was still like a wolf.

Suddenly the wolf that last night came while carrying a rabbit in its mouth. Miho was surprised when the dead rabbit was just put by her side.

"What does that mean?" Miho really did not understand what the tame wolf wanted.

Seeing Miho doing nothing and instead looking at him strangely, the wolf brought the rabbit back with its mouth that he thrust into Yujiro's mouth.

Miho understood. The wolf wanted to feed Yujiro with the rabbit.

Yujiro's mouth opened slowly to begin accepting the rabbit for food. He chews slowly and then swallows it.

"You've been feeding him all this time?" miho asked the wolf. "Thank you. I thought you were the ferocious wolf that was going to bite me."

The wolf just looked at Miho and then went back out of the cave. Miho took the initiative to look at the outside. He walked away from Yujiro who was still weakly lying.

When he came out, Miho found a beautiful view. He couldn't see it last night because it was dark. But now he could see the green trees and some animals jumping even running around in harmony.

It's a pity that Yujiro is still sick in there. Miho had always wanted to see a beautiful place with the man, but for now she could not. As a result, Miho can only walk around alone with a tame wolf jumping around chasing a butterfly.

"There's water!" miho muttered walking following the voice that sounded in his ears.

It turns out that there is a waterfall that is clear and flowing quite fast. Moho ran happily to the river and threw himself there as well as bathing.

"New!" miho smiled happily.

The wolf that followed him just skipped over the rocks there while avoiding the water.

Just then, Miho saw the figure of Yujiro coming with staggered steps dragging his wings as well. He held onto a tree and sat down by the river.

"You want to take a shower?" tanya Miho started to pull over. He helps wash Yujiro's hands, which are still hairy and have sharp nails.

Not only that, Miho helped wash some parts of Yujiro's body that felt dirty to clean his mouth and face with hands that had been moistened with water.

"Are you right not to turn into a human?" tanya Miho looks gloomy while cleaning Yujiro's face. "But it's okay. As long as you survive, you don't have to turn into anything anymore."

Yujiro just growled as if he wanted to say something. Next to his hand he scooped the water he poured over Miho's head.

Miho was surprised while laughing loosely. He went back to playing in the river, trying to splash Yujiro with the water.

After playing in the river, Miho and Yujiro dry themselves in the sun. They sat next to each other and enjoyed the clear sky that afternoon.

"You know? Every time I look at the sky, I always dream of flying up there. You granted me my dream, Yujiro. You make me feel like I'm flying up there," Miho said, lying next to the sitting Yujiro.

"We'll face it together. So I don't want you in danger alone. You have me," continued Miho.

...****************...

The sound of howling in pain was heard by Miho who was now awakened from his sleep. He looked back and forth not finding Yujiro around.

Miho looked up to see the moon looking big and the light was bright enough that night that it showed the full moon symptoms. Miho was reminded of the myth of a werewolf that would turn ferocious and could even prey on humans.

Is Yujiro among the creatures who would do that?

Yujiro is like a werewolf despite being adorned with deer horns and two wings that help him fly.

When searched, the howl came out from the tame wolf that Yujiro was stepping on his head. Miho immediately approached, afraid that Yujiro would kill the wolf.

"Yujiro, why you-"

Miho's words suddenly stopped as Yujiro looked up and his eyes were so cold. The blue highlight there was seen mixed with red color which made Yujiro several times shake his head like he was about to get something out of his head.

"Yujiro, you need to calm down. Don'tdon't... Don't change. You have to fight it," persuaded Miho who slowly approached even though he was actually starting to fear being attacked by the man.

Yujiro let out a small roar as she looked at her two hands that were starting to itch out wanting to tear something apart. Even his nose now felt sharp and tempted when he smelled Miho's body scent.

What's wrong with me?

Yujiro's hearing is starting to get into trouble. Miho's call to her begins to be inaudible, not even Yujiro can understand her as when she becomes an animal that does not understand human language.

The clear look in his eyes suddenly turned red. Everything Yujiro saw was now red, even Miho.

Yujiro slapped himself in order to come to his senses. Unfortunately when Miho managed to touch his arm, Yujiro turned his head while showing fangs like a vicious dog.

A fearful expression was now implied on Miho's face. That made the deepest corner in Yujiro's heart start to darken. He walked closer to Miho who began to retreat because now his consciousness was completely uncontrollable.

Yujiro was about to attack, but the wolf jumped straight at his head.

Miho sat down with a gawking gaze realizing Yujiro had just been about to ambush him if the wolf had not protected him.

Now, Yujiro and the wolf are fighting each other. Several times his body was slammed, the wolf still tried hard to prevent Yujiro from attacking Miho who was still sitting with tense facial water.

The wolf began to whine in pain with his body lying weak and unable to fight anymore. It made Yujiro start to approach, about to claw, and finish him off.

"UJIRO USHIODA!" miho shouted to him.

Yujiro. Although he did not understand, he heard the scream. He felt an overwhelming fear that Miho emitted.

What exactly am I?

Yujiro starts to control nothing more. The small space in his heart felt already closed until every memory in his memory as Yujiro slowly faded away.

Yujiro's feet slowly retreated. He growled angrily and ran over the trees one by one before finally flying, leaving Miho gasping at the wolf that was lying weakly and wounded in front of him.
