A Surprising Individual

A Japanese man of about 23 years of age appeared to be wrestling a large grizzly bear. The man had numerous cuts on his body but the bear appeared to be fatigued and injured but there were no signs of weapon marks anywhere.

Hikari flapped her dark wings lazily, gliding around. Looking down, she noticed a man fighting a grizzly bear, and flew a little lower, hovering and watching, just out of sight.

The man slowly backed away from the enraged grizzly bear and looked at it's neck. Then, with incredible quickness and legs strength, he went for a powerful scissors kick, which broke the bear's neck. The man looked down at his dead opponent, panting slightly. This man must have incredible leg strength to break a full grown grizzly bear's neck.

Hikari smiled a little, impressed. For a human to have strength like that was rare.

He gave the grizzly bear a bow, which was usually what Japanese martial artists did out of respect for their opponent. He then rolled his shoulders, making them crack very loudly and started dragging the bear up to the Abandoned House on the Hill.

Hikari followed him silently, her wings flapping as quiet as possible.

He went behind the abandoned house and dragged the bear to an open grave. He then pushed the Grizzly Bear into the grave and started burying it, as if he was honoring the dead.

Hikari watched quietly, still only observing the man, leaving him in peace.

He stiffened up and looked around, as if he sensed something. He finally saw Hikari up above him and he crouched low like a predator, entering a tae-kwon-do stance. He growled at her animalistically, as if he thought she invaded his territory.

"I mean you no harm, human," Hikari spoke, her voice ringing like bells.

He snarled up at her animalistically, as if he was offended by Hikari calling him a human. Considering how he acted, he was obviously raised by some sort of animal instead of a human and it's obvious what animal raised him because his bright green eyes had the distinct feeling of a wolf looking at her. This man was some sort of wolf in human form.

As if reading his mind, she simply said "I was not insulting you. However, you are more human than I, therefore I can only class you as such. You are not a demon, henceforth I cannot and will not harm you."

'I am a wolf and you will address me as such. I hate being referred to as human' was what his facial expression said as he threw a rock up at her in anger.

Hikari disappeared and reappeared behind him. "A wolf in a human body? I have never heard of such a being existing on Earth before."

Her naivety was quite obvious.

He turned around and went for a jumping side kick. 'I am a human raised as a wolf so you will refer to me as a wolf' he growled out in anger.

Hikari disappeared again, once again acting like he'd never attacked her. Rasing one fist and letting it fall into her palm in an 'I get it!' manner, she exclaimed "Oh I see! So... You're not a man?" Clearly she wasn't the smartest angel ever, still very naive in the ways of Earth.

'NO I AM NOT!' was what he growled out as his eyes narrowed at her.

She grinned. "Okay! I get it now!"

Sitting on a random tree branch, she rested her wings. "So, where are you from?"

'Here' was his response as he pointed at the abandoned town.

"You live here? Are you not a little lonely?" Sadness shone in her eyes, but it was not pity, nor sympathy. She knew he wouldn't like being pitied.

'I used to have family but my pack was killed by those stupid humans. I live alone and I prefer it. I don't like being in the company of humans' he said in wolf speak.

"I see. Well that is perfectly reasonable. You have your reasons," Hikari murmured, looking up at the sky. "I am not from here, as you may most likely have guesed."

'That was obvious. The humans I have seen don't fly' he responded in wolf tongue.

Hikari laughed serenely. "You have a point there!"

He raised an eyebrow at her when she started laughing.
