They had become beasts battling for blood to satiate their mental capacity and required blood as to gain mental stability thus the relations between the Garous and its former colonies became extremely forced and bloody.
Until only 500 were left- but this last section of Garous was soon to be extinct until- that day a night like none other- an incredible night with lights of lunar essence floating into the mortal world and fusing with these last Garous-
They had evolved from mindless beasts that could only be satiated with human meat and blood to actual intellectual humanoid wolves.
And that night they purged the mountains of any humans and fought against the Azure Dragons Army with true might.
Dominating the land as they chose to become secluded in this land with none to stop them and with none to annoy them as they enjoyed their secluded lives.
Or that was what the locals said...
But no one could ever explain the reason why every full night screams of anguish and beast-like growls sounded from the mountains.
It was a very popular place hence why Survival Experts tried to film their shows there but none had ever lived to tell the tale- thus it was closed off-
Yet there was always a news report every year about the Garou Mountains- because some stupid local or tourist decided to enter the zone and then a few days later the corpse would show.
With a scratch from the abdomen to the chin and with ribs grounded up like powder.

-Furuichi's Struggles:-
And just now as Furuichi was caught in the struggles between Aoi and Shiori a new article had just come out of the cursed mountain range.
Whilst Aoi was in memory lane remembering exactly what that b*stard had told her with that perfect smile and innocence and that charisma- she had been poisoned by his sweetness though looking at his calm face made her feel calm for some reason.
-Flashback No Jutsu:-
Aoi: 'Fuu-kun cause believe me if I spot another woman your manhood is gone...'
Fuu-kun: 'Well actually I do have another close female to me- she has been with me so far for a long time and I think the two of you really need to meet up-'
Aoi: 'So you've been two-timing? What did I expect I should have known it with those flowery words of yours- I should've known- *sobbing...'
Fuu-kun: 'Hey don't cry- It's not what you think I need you to see her that's all and after that, if you wanna go then you're free to do so but for now-
I would appreciate it a lot If you'd at least see her and knowing you - you would get along great with her!'
-Flashback No Jutsu End:-
'Hmph get along with her more like her bullying me- how dare that vixen-'
Seeing this annoyed face from Aoi Shiori stuck out her tongue at the bluenette- with confidence and a smug smirk-
'Hah- I've known Master longer than you and you think you can take him from me- dream on!'
And thus an intense staring battle broke out between the two with Aoi finally giving up after her Seishin-Ken stare failed against Shiori's Garlick and Ginger Gun-
-A New Challenger Enters The Ring*-
As Furuichi spotted the two trying to kill each other with stares he stepped in and with a serious face, he looked at them with confusion-
"Do you two hate each other that much? I swear this was going better in theory than reality- but seriously why don't we settle out the problems?"
Asked Furuichi as with confidence he took each of their hands and placed them together with his being the link between the two lions.
"I can get along with the two of you- so why can't you two get along with each other? Is it that hard- here shake it out and stop with the Tenkaichi Staredokai's okay?!"
Said Fuu-kun as he looked sincerely at the two next to him
Finally, after a bunch of pouting from the two, they calmed down as they shook on it-
"Go on then- the magic words if you will."
Like a primary school teacher, Furuichi made the process easier as the two began to apologise-
And like children, the two puffed their cheeks as they looked the other way-
"Hmph Never!"
"Not until she does-"
"You two are really cute when you get angry- but anger is not the way you know that Aoi- Shiori, even the slightest bit of aggression can build bit by bit and can one day explode out in rage- Shiori stops fearing that I'll leave you if I get close with Aoi- I won't you are so precious to me that you can't quantify it- this fear leads to a dark path- the dark side...
Anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering- you two know that for sure- especially you Aoi, until me no one really approached you due to your status-
Tachibana Aoi from the famous family that runs a multi-billion-dollar company- her father runs it all her and she will inherit a portion- you have been the victim of false friendships and heartbreaks numerous times- I can tell I've experienced it so you try to cobble anything you have close to you and never let it go after all you have an insecurity a great fear that constantly evolves every day.
You are scared to lose what you hold close- what you hold precious in your heart and so this needs to stop now- I think you already know I don't want your money or any of that to be frank- you are someone I love which is a list that can be counted on a hand-
This shows how much I trust and respect you- yet you can't grow up and mature.
It may seem hard- being gradual after all but I am here every step of the way- I am here for you, for both of you so stop trying so hard and sometimes relax enjoy yourself- I love you two-
You know that!"
Finally, she cried as tears were shed that day and instead of Furuichi calming her down- Shiori felt remorse in provoking Aoi- not her- but instead a close friend.
"Shi-chan?"
She took the startled Aoi and hugged her giving her warmth in this heated moment- and slowly her tears began to dry as Furuichi joined the hug as the girl called out for her precious- Fuu-kun.
"I'm sorry- for overreacting to your closeness with Fuu-kun, I know I come off as selfish and arrogant but I didn't mean any of that."
Thus the apologies started as the two hugged it out- and began to talk about their interests as Aoi began to help Furuichi and Shiori make some cakes- and confectionery- it was obvious that Aoi was a sweet tooth and Furuichi had sweet things with tea once in a while similar to Furuichi was Shiori-
And thus in the kitchen, the three began to try and make cakes with flaws and mistakes in the process but the end product was well worth it as it meant the three had time to bond together.
