Back to the Western Lands

[Neko]

Neko layed her hand on Okami's chest. "I am just tired and hungry, Okami, and a drink wouldn't harm either." She looked him in the eyes and whispered: "Thanks, for being there, you are so sweet. I am so lucky I have met you!"

[kardowin]

Coming upon two half demons a servant of the keep asked, "May I help you?" He knew that the mistress must of sent them here for their protection from demons that roamed the lands.

[Okami]

Okami seemed to ponder for a moment, but actually he was a bit shocked that the servant was not sending them away, since they may seem to be trespassing. "Yes," Okami replied, "go and fetch some water and something to eat." He then looked at Neko thoughtfully then added, "and be quick about it."

[kardowin]

The servant bowed and headed off to do the tasks that Okami had asked. Shortly after that Malko walked in to the courtyard, wondering if Kardowin had any luck in finding Aiko. but from the looks of things she had only sent two half demons to stay here for as long as they liked. He kept his distance but was curious about them.

Akama slowly walkd from the castle both arms were folded as she observed two half demons who ran past inside but they quickly returned running back in one direction.She placed two of her fingers between her lips giving a loud whistle,as she did out from the large feild lept a huge wolf this wolfs name was Kay and he was her riding mount."Good." She scratched Kay's ears watching as he enjoyed this,after climbing onto his back the two than followed behind the half demon servants soon coming acrost Okami,Neko and Kardowin.

[kardowin]

(It's OK)

'Good they got through before the portal closed. Now lets take care of those trouble makers.' 'Well it also looks like some one we know is here as well.' Kaskie hummed.

She turned to Akama. "So It looks like getting to know your way around, thats good." she smiled, then looked at the now charging group of demons. "Don't mind if you help with these trouble makers." The leader was an all to familiar demon she had ran in to before. He was an ugly brute, the best to describe him is a face and tail of a horse, ears of a wolf and body of a green colored dragon. No wonder the other demons easily followed him, he must of use the dragon fear to have them do as he said.

"So Its you again, I thought I killed you last time." Kardowin growled at him. ' He is the one who stole Kaskie and the thunder Crystal from me, I managed to get Kaskie back but he nearly had cut off my arm, and had escaped the next time i ran In to him he had shattered the thunder crystal and I thought my lighting had killed him. Now he is probably trying to kill me for making a fool out of him Ha let's just see if he can beat me now.' She could hardly control her self to attack, but she held back with a hand on kaskies hilt she, waiting for him to make the first move. That had been the mistake she make the first time charging at him. That was the time she almost got her arm cut off. She had been lucky.

[Okami]

Okami felt a bit anxious waiting for the servant to return. he then saw a huge white wolf/dog enter the garden area. It looked at him couriously but stayed its distance. Not to long after a female dog demon had walked in. Okami felt a cold shiver ran down his spine. He felt that he must be warery of this dog demon, since the cold feeling he had felt. He turned his attention to Neko, who seemed weak and frail in his arms at this point. She was the center of his concerns and had to be first. he could worry about the surrounding demons latter, if they stayed their distance that is.

"Neko, I have sent for food and water as you have asked." He said gently in a whispering tone. It had been several days since they amitted their love to eachother. But somehow Okami wanted to show that he and Neko were ment to be together through out time, or even eternity, if possible. A marrage would be fitting enough yet, he felt that it was not yet the time or place for that right now.

[Neko]

Neko vaguely heard Okami talk to someone else. Then she heard his calming voice soothing her in his own way. Though she was weak, she could tell there were others there. Oh how she missed her abilities right now. Trying to stay focused she asked Okami: "Okami, who is there with us, please tell me? Are they dogs?"

She let trough her voice rang that she was scared. Right now she was fully relying on Okami. Her feelings for him were strong, she did not know where it could, but she trusted he would protect her.

[Okami]

He looked deep within Neko's eyes. He could not lie nor felt he needed to, so he told her straight out. "There is a wolf/dog, but he is keeping his distance, but there is a dog demon who seems to have a giant wolf as her pet." he glanced back at the dog. 'but do not worry Neko, if she makes one wrong move or does anything threatening, I will be upon her before you can call out my name."

Okami wondered what was going on with the servant, why didn't he hurry up with what he had asked for? He would of went off to find out, but he kept himself with Neko. She needed him now to protect her as she had him during his time of weakness.

[Neko]

Neko felt nervous when Okami told her about the wolf/dog and wolf so near her. She clung on to him closer. She was happy to have Okami so near her. Now that she is weak. She kept her promise and now he was doing the same for her. She felt tears burning behind her ears and a burning sensation inside her heart. She licked her dry lips and opened them to say: "Promise you won't leave me, Okami, promise me."

She closed her eyes to try and stop her tears. Never had she ever felt like this. She thought she lost everything with Kunashi. First her father, then her mother and then her baby girl. How she dreamed to hold such a sweet thing in her arms again, but could she ask Okami to give her her greatest desire. A child. Could she ask him to fulfill her wish.

She finally couldn't stop them. A wet tear drop made clear from her eyelids and moved down over her cheek. And there it didn't stop. As she felt her cheeks get wet, she didn't want to be anywhere but in Okami's arms.

[kardowin]

Quickly the sevant returnd and bowed. "There is a room prepared for you I will lead you there. The thing you saked for will be there."

Just at that moment another portal had opened. Then Kardowin staggered forward out of the portal. She was breathing hard, as he held her side with one arm. Malko jumped to her sideand winned. She grabed a hold of him in order to support her self, muttering angerly to her self. Several other servants came running into the cortyard. "My lady are you alright?" one had asked. "Just leave me!" she snapped at them angerly, then a few seconds latter she clolapsed. The seravns held her up, then malko barked at them, and they nodded then followed Malko in to one of the buldings of the fortress.
