I choked up water and my sides heaved as I struggled for breath. After a few minutes of laying there, I began to lick my wounds. Rocks had struck me on the side as I had been freed and pain shot through my whole body. I turned to thank Miyako and found that she had fainted. I heaved myself to my feet and walked over to her. I grabbed her by the scruff f her neck and tried to drag her to the cave, but I was too weak. Tako gently nudged me toward the cave and pulled Miyako into the den with Mitsuki following. I curled up on the ground with my head on my paws and my tail over my eyes. Before anyone could protest, I slept.

When i had awoken, everyone was aleep, or atleast acting like it. I yawned, that really toom its tull on me. I noticed moonshadows wounds. I walked over and becan to cleanse her. Her wounds were healings with just the swipe of my tongue. Why is she always getting hurt? I sighed, it came out as a simple pant. Soon her wounds were completely healed with a natrel sparkle. I checked the others for any wounds, none. Then i curled up again near tako.



(Hey! I was wondering . . . Can miyako and tako have a relationship . . .?)

(Mitsuki needs to wake up XD)

(Yeah, I don't mind. Can I mostly control Tako? (I asked before but I don't think anyone noticed)

I opened one eye as I felt Miyako licking me. She walked back and curled up near Tako and fell asleep. I smiled and walked to the front of the den. I sat there, staring at the full moon before drifting to sleep again.

(Yep totally fine)

When morning finally came, i had ended up almost ontop of tako. I quickly launched up and walked past moonshadow stealthily outside. If id have been in human form, then i would have been blushing so hard! Wow, good thing he wasnt awake. Or was he? Of course not! I shook my head of those thoughts. And went to clean up the clearing. Using my newfound strength as a wolfie, i pushed the trees away, using them like walls from the outside. Thisll do i thought, thisll do.

Moonshadow

I awoke to see Miyako cleaning up the clearing. I stood up and shook myself. I walked outside and began to help her. We worked silently for a while. I was in the middle of lugging a particularly stubborn branch out of the clearing when I dropped it and said, "Uh... Mijako... Thanks for saving me, you know last night," Then I grabbed the tree branch and tugged it ferociously I flipped over and landed on my back. I pulled myself to my feet and kicked the tree, annoyed at it. It rolled down the hill.

Tako

I woke up and stretched. Mitsuki was the only one still asleep. I crept around her and walked out of the den, blinking in the sunlight. I saw Miyako and Moonshadow working on cleaning the clearing. Moonshadow got mad at a branch and kicked it so hard that it rolled all the way down the hill. I laughed until she growled at me, and I shut up. When her back was turned, I pounced on her. She yelped and rolled to the side, kicking me. She pushed me off her, grinning. "Remember when we used to do this when we were pups?" I said. She launched herself at me and this time I was the one who yelped. We rolled around, wrestling in the dust.

I laughed at the two siblings, playfighting. I wish mitsuki would want to do that with me, i sighed, but she rathers doing things in human form. I layed down in the middle of the clearing, stairing at the two idiotic goofs, depressed.

Moonshadow

I saw Miyako lie down, she seemed rather sad. I jumped up and shoved Tako off of me. Then I leapt and tackled Miyako. She yelped in surprise as I landed on top of her.

Tako

I laughed at Mijako's reaction when Moonshadow tackled her. I suddenly had a flashback: Moonshadow and I were play fighting when a huge wolf leapt at us. Their mother protected us, and the two of us had hidden while their pack fought with two others. The two packs had made an alliance. We were the only ones that survived the attack. Then, I was dragged away with one pack, and Moonshadow with the other. I still remember the sound of her screaming and trying to get to me. She had scratched a guard and he slashed her cheek. Her screams had turned to whimpers. I looked at her. She still had the scar on her cheek.

I grumbled as moonshadow flattened me. Tako stared off in space. He seemed sad as he looked at moonshadow. That just made me sadder, because the one i loved was sad and depressed. "Whats wrong miyako" moonshadow asked me cheerfully, obviously trying to lift me from my mood. "Nothing" i mumbled, pushing her off me and walking back to the cave and curling up in the very back. Where id found id been trapped. I shivered and walked into the trees, leaping into one and falling asleep.

Moonshadow

"Hey Tako, Is everything alright?" I asked. "Yeah," he said. "I know you better than that!" I said "What's wrong?" I said in a softer voice. "I was just remembering when you got that," he said stroking my scar. "I missed you Tako," I said, nuzzling him. "I missed you too he said," licking my head. "Do you think Miyako's okay?" I asked, turning to look at her in the tree. "I'm sure she's fine." he said. "How did you two meet anyway?" he asked. "You should ask her," I said. "I'm sure she'd love to tell you,"

Tako

I was glad to be reunited with my sister. I had missed her so much. "What rank were you in your pack?" she asked. "I was a hunter," he said. "They were rather nice to me, although I hated them. What about you?" I asked her. "I was omega," she said. She shuddered and turned away. "I'm sorry," I said. "I wished could have helped." I nuzzled her gently before building more of the wall. She came to help me, but I could tell she was preoccupied. She often stared at Miyako with a worried expression or into the shadows of the forest.

I woke up in a tree. "why the heck am i in a stupid tree" i yelled. Then i jumped down. Landing on taco, i didnt see him there. . . "Are you ok" i asked him urgently. "Yea, just a broken spine. . ."he grumbled. I bounced off of him and landed awkwardly on the ground. "So how did you and moonshadow meet" he asked me. "Long story really" i said, not really saying much. "Was riding my bike, and i heard rustling in the bushes, so i went to look, and there she was. She'd ran away from her pack just a few days ago" i continued.
