The night's moon reflected on little Luke's eyes as he wandered around the shadows searching for some food. He was hungry, very hungry, but it wasn't a new feeling to him. He was always hungry. His ribs jutted out of his thin body like levers. Luke found an ally way and raised his head to the sky and sniffed. His sold senses kicked in when he realized a dumpster near by. As he crossed over he didn't seem to notice the large Weapons store with a bright light inside.
Luke Kowtan approached the dumpster and jumped on a few empty crates to try to reach the lid. He was small, only eight and was a wolf chimera. He was always hiding and always on the run from the military and the other scientists who wanted him back. He growled low in his throat as he tried to rip open the lid, but couldn't and stumbled backwards off of the crates and landed on his tail which he jumped up and crashed backwards into the side of the brick wall that marked the alley way startled.

It had been a very slow day at the store. Then again, that wasn't new since everyone had a weapon already. And if they didn't, because they were children or pacifists. He sighed as he decided it was time for him to throw out the metal gratings that came from making his weapons and picked up the bag containing them, bringing it out to the dumpster. As he neared the dumpster he noticed something out of the ordinary.
There was a boy in the ally. Looked around 8 years old maybe 9. He was up against the wall of the ally and looked like a diseased child. His ribs were visible and he looked hungrier then he usually was. But the most peculier thing about the child was his appearance in general. His nails were long, he had grey fur and what seemed to be a wolfs tail and wolfs ears. Kotaro put the bag down and walked up to the boy slowly. "Hello there." He said stopping 2 feet away.

The boy looked up his gray hair or fur seemed to shroud him in a cloak. Immediately his ears fell against his head and his face squinched up, his teeth barred. A common posture of a wolf when threatened. However that is what the wolf part of him was doing. His human mind told him to back away and be cautious. It had been nearly a nearly a year since his escape from the scientists and nearly 2 since he was from the military. Between wolf and human thinking, still with his large gray ears plastered to his grubby head he backed into the corrner of the dirty alley way. "H-h-h-i" He stumbled nervously over his words still wary. His wolf instincts were telling him to run and keep running but his human told him to stay.

Kotaro saw the boy start to get defensive, barring his teeth and covering his face with his ears. He was a chimera. Kotaro kneeled to one knee and gave a slight smile. "Do you want some food?" He asked kindly, unaware what the boy would do if threatened. "If you want, I can make you something."

Luke turned head sideways, like a dog would do to listen and sat down with his legs spread V style and his hands in his lap. His ears twitched and his mouth formed a little O as he tried to comprehend his words. However one word he knew, HUNGRY. "Food?" He asked in one of those high pitched little boy voices. His little gray and black tail started to thunk up and down on the ground in the night.

"Yes, food." Kotaro said smiling. "I have plenty of food and I can make you something to eat." He said taking a small step closer to the boy. "If you want, you can come inside and make yourself comfortable while I make it. Its not that comfortable in this alley I bet." He smiled.

Luke looked into the man's face. He offered food? Lots of food? He was slightly confused at the situation. Luke always assumed people were going to hurt him or capture him. "Food!" Luke cried and stood up. He was slightly haunched and his features were more obvious when he stood up. He scratched one of his ears with a clawed hand and smiled as he headed over to Kotaro. "People who give food are nice!" He decided quite proud of himself. His little wolf tail swishing back and forth. His tribal wolf tattos were visable in the light now. They wound up his arms and around his chest.

Kotaro offered a smile as he studied the boy. Now standing he could see him more clearly now. Everything was more defined now. His claws, his fur the ears. Now his tattoos were visible along his whole upper body. All in all, he even acted like a dog. "Yeah, follow me inside and I'll get you something. Lets see, steak, chicken......." he started to think of what to make the boy as he headed to the store.

Luke followed him with his head down. He approached the store with wide eyes for he had never been in a store like this, let alone a store ((though he knew what they were)). As the store door swung shut he walked over and started to browse all the weapons, not sure what they even were. his hunger was monetarily lost. "Big knife!!!" He suddenly screeched pointing to a rack of beautifully made knives. He did recognize the knives from his experience with the scientists.

Kotaro turned to see Luke's terrified expression as he saw the knives on a rack. "Yes, they are big knives." He said moving to cover the rack with a long cloth. "Don't worry about them. Nothing here is going to be used against you." He realised this boy must have been through quite a lot. "Nothing here is going to hurt you." He said calmly before going to the kitchen to start the dinner.

Nesmine stumbled down the stairs, woken up by odd noises that came from below. "Eh, what's goin' on? H-hey! Another one! Man Kotaro, you really are a sucker." Nesmine exclaimed upon seeing the child. She walked up to him, cocking her head and walking around in circles, observing every last detail. "Definitely a chimera, but also a grimy kid. I hate kids! Why do you keep bringing them home?" Nesmine questioned Kotaro, still not taking her eyes off the newcomer. "Well, if it's staying, we're gonna put 'em through the showers." Nesmine reached out her hand to pet the top of the boy's head. "Hey! Fluffy! Maybe he's not so bad after all!"

Luke laughed one of those little kid laughs and clapped his hands when she had pat his head. His little paws muffling the sound. "Fluffy!" The little boy cried and shook his head. His mass, greasy, gray, fur went flying around him. It was immensely thick, abnormal thick. He had now forgotten all about the knives. "Fluffy, fluffy, fluffy!" Even though he is 8 he spoke more like a 6 year old, however his survival instincts were strong.

Kotaro came from the kitchen with a plate of steak and mashed potatoes. "Nesmine, he has nowhere to go and he's hungry. I'm just feeding the little guy." He said putting the plate in front of the child. "Cimera or not I can't just leave him outside in his condition." He smiled at the child. "Go on, eat."

Nesmine's face distorted upon watching the boys fur fly about, pulling greasy strands from her hand. Surprisingly, she restrained herself from complaining, and let out a hollering laugh. "This is great! There's now somebody in the group that doesn't know more than me!! Ha! Now I get to tutor somebody!" Nesmine shouted happily, as she had been getting bored of being the one that had to be corrected in spelling and wording every three minutes. "We're gonna get along great Fluffy!"She laughed, grabbing a good sausage from the fridge and putting it in 'Fluffy's' paws/hands.

Luke laughed again, but as he sniffed the air his pupils grew small. "FOOD. M-M-M-EAT!" Luke shrieked and the sausage was devoured with a snap. His tongue hang out as he raced for the plate. The steak that would take a normal boy a while to eat was gone in less than a minute. He ripped into the steak not even bothering to deal with the silverware and tore huge chunks off, juice splattering everywhere. A non-human growl emintaing from his throat He turned around after licking the plate clean and laughed again, his human side returning. "Yummy foods." He didn't seem to be aware of his actions. His face was filthy now from the meal, along with hands, and his chest.
