"Just get away!" Kurogane desperately tried to convince him to leave him. He didn't want to hurt the blond man but judging by the rabid natures of the beasts that had attacked him, he very well might! And even if Fai couldn't be turned from a werewolf's bite thanks to his own unique vampiric state these days didn't mean the ninja wanted to see him get hurt by his own hand.

Despite him threatening to kill Fai if he really wanted him to, Kurogane didn't want to kill the blond. Sure, he pissed him off to no end at times but he was his friend and he didn't have a whole lot of those. The fact that their lives were inextricably tied together now was beside the point.

Finally, the ninja had moved beyond the ability to speak or form coherent speech. The change made it impossible as his body shifted and twisted until it there was no longer a man laying there crying out on the bed but a nearly uniformly dark werewolf that lay there panting and whining pathetically in the shredded remains of what had once been Kurogane's clothes. The dark pelt certainly suited Kurogane's coloring and when the wolf's eyes slit open, the irises appeared to be the same curiously red shade the human version of him possessed.
