Chapter 1: The Wish



        ``Bye Yume I have to go to work now. Make sure you walk Kiba! I'll be home at five.'' Said
Amaya Hikaru. The small woman thin middle aged woman got in the car and left. Yume; her daughter shut the door to the house. She called for the animal and in appeared a huge dog. Her dog was no ordinary dog but the biggest in Tokyo and also was a half dog half wolf. Kiba was his name and he was a present from Yume's father two years ago. Yume walked inside and grabbed the big black creature to put on the leash. He stood tall with one eye gold and the other silver.
        
        Yume and Kiba started their walk around the block. It was another beautiful day in Tokyo, their wasn't a cloud In the sky. The only problem was the packed streets. There were cars on every block, and people yelling and talking on their cell phones. Suddenly as they turned the corner Kiba stopped and let out a deep growl. A small orange creature ran by. The next thing Yume knew was that she was on the ground. And Kiba was running down an alley chasing a small kitten.
        
        While Yume was searching for her dog, Kiba had cornered the kitten. When he was about to grab the defenseless animal a man appeared. In one sentence he would be described as a fat short little old man with a huge beard and small round glasses.
        
        ``Hello Kiba.'' he spoke with a gruff but gentle voice. ``I have a deal with you. I heard that all you want is to be human. You want that for Christmas. Right?'' The dog nodded his head.
        
        ``Yume's father passed away two years ago on Christmas. Ever since then she has hated
Christmas. She is always seems depressed and angry. She has lost sight of the true meaning of Christmas. If you want to be human cheer her up and show her the true meaning of Christmas and I'll make you human forever. But tell no one of me or this conversation. You'll have to convince Yume that you are Kiba. If you tell the deal is off.'' Kiba nodded his head once more. ``Kiba you have fourteen days. Until Christmas Day. In a short while you'll temporarily turn human.'' He disappeared and Yume found Kiba. After scolding him she brought Kiba home and the dog laid in his bed while Yume went and got a shower.

        After her shower Yume put on jeans and a pink T-shirt and ran to the kitchen to get a snack. She enjoyed the Christmas cookie her mother made and then ran back up the stairs to her room. It was already three and Yume's mother would be home in two hours. When she opened her door Yume screamed. There in Kiba's bed she found sleeping teenage boy.

        `` Ahhh!!! Who are you?'' she yelled. ``Why are you I my dog's bed?!'' Yume started to panic. She grabbed the first thing she saw. A long baseball bat, ready to strike if he moved.
        
        ``Yume what are you doing!? Don't hit me! I'm Kiba!!'' the strange boy yelled. He had black hair that came down to his chin. It was a black color. He also had a pair of black wolf ears on the top. He looked about sixteen or seventeen. The boy's eyes were two different colors one silver the other gold just like Kiba. He also had long finger nails and was wearing a black shirt and black pants.
        
        ``No your not. Kiba's a dog!!! Not a person!!! Are those ears real!? Yume thought she was going insane or was the boy already insane. She screamed again.

        ``Yume! I'm Kiba not some psycho. Let me explain. When I ran off after that cat, well I ran into Santa and well he said…'' He was about to finish his sentence but he remembered what Santa said. That he could not tell her or anybody else about why he turned into a human.

        ``Well, What? Who… what are you? What do you want? What did this ``Santa'' guy do?'' she said still holding the bat. She was scared out of her mind. What did this creep want?

        ``He um… well he… Santa gave me a wish. I told him that I wanted to be human. So… there`s your answer.'' the boy said. His voice was gentile and smooth.

        ``Yeah right. Do you really think I could believe that? You talk pretty well for a dog.'' Yume said in disbelief.

        ``Wow…these are my first words in the `human language' This is interesting.'' Kiba mumbled to himself.

       ``You really are psycho. Let me ask you some questions then. Where does my mother work?'' Yume asked.

        `` I dunno… in this weird building type place. It`s tall. And people always walk out of there with green paper things… the same green paper that you buy my dog food with.'' Kiba replied.

        ``Ok then. What kind of dog is Kiba? And where do we usually walk to? We always go
somewhere special.'' Yume asked. She tried to think of a lot of different questions. Personal questions that only Kiba would know. But she could hardly think. She was so nervous about who he was and what was happening.

        ``Kiba was an Alaskan malamute/wolf mix. We used to take walks to Souta's restaurant. And sometimes we visit his grave. You sometimes brought me to Amaya's work place. You got me at Christmas from your father Souta,'' Kiba was trying to think of where else she brought him but his mind kept drifting to the object Yume had in her hands. The large piece of wood. ``Yume please put that thing down before someone gets hurt.''

        ``No,'' she screamed, ``Not until you get away from me and out of my house. Th…there is no way you can be my dog. It's not possible. There's no such thing as Santa. And if your ears are really real then you couldn't have human ears. So lift your hair up so I can see.'' Said Yume. She was a little frightened but knew that there was no possible way for someone to have dog ears instead of human ones.

        ``Ok… but I'm warning you… do not hit me with that bat!`` He moved his hair to reveal nothing. No ears at all just the ones he had planted on top of his head. The dog ones. Yume stared in disbelief.

        ``How…How can…What the…No ears?? None? How can this be possible.'' She suddenly fell to the ground.

        ``Well that's not good. I think she fainted. This really sucks.'' Kiba bent down and lifted her up in his arms. He carried her to her bed and laid her down in it. He tucked her in and went down stairs. That wasn't easy. Kiba thought to himself, what am I going to do when Amaya gets home? I wonder what her reaction will be…

        Kiba tried to get the hang of walking on two legs and using thumbs until Amaya would get home. He pondered at what he would tell her.

        Ok… I have ears and um… long fingernails… that's kinda doglike. Maybe she'll believe me. I hope she doesn't act like Yume did. I hope Yume will be ok. This isn't good.

        While he was deep in thought he tripped over his rubber dog ball toy. Kiba still had a little trouble walking. He wasn't used to walking on two legs. He couldn't quite grasp the fact that he was actually human.

        The huge grandfather clock made a loud ringing sound. Amaya should be home any minute. Kiba started to shake. His heart was racing. Pounding in his chest.

        I hope she will believe me. I don't want to give her a heart attack and accidentally kill her. Then Yume will never forgive me.

        A mass of questions popped into his mind. Suddenly he heard a knocking on the door.

        ``YUME OPEN THE DOOR! YUME? YUME I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE! PLEASE ANSWER ME. IT'S YOUR MOTHER!'' Kiba heard a voice from the outside. He would open the door. If he knew how to actually unlock it. Kiba heard a click sound from the other side and suddenly the door swung open…
