Ever Dream ||Inu-tachi and Kouga-tachi||

[都Tsuzuki筑]

"Well, no I haven't actually. I was planing on asking you if you had any clue where he was."
Hm, another dead end. Just my luck...
Zuki sighed, folding her arms.
At least Yukiko is getting something out of this..Maybe she'll stop bothering me for a while...
Her tail starting flicking again as she shifted her weight to her other leg-- standing still for to long made her figety.

Ayame still remained silent, watching the wolves play-- hers had now gone over to join Kouga's wolves and Yuki.

Yuki fell down again, but was this time nudged to her feet by one of Ayame's wolves... Which was followed by a light headbut that almost sent her sprawling again. Instead, she just fell into the other wolves leg. Then Yuki mock charged the wolf of Ayame's, but instead of running into her she stopped midway between the two, waiting for one of them to make their move.

[¡§qüee!]

Kouga cursed silently, turning from both of the demoness’s and pacing in the soft white snow. His arms uncrossed slowly and fell to his sides, one worked it’s way to his hip while the other to his face. Rubbing his cheek he stopped pacing, staring at the trees and twitching his nose. Sighing he rubbed his neck, turning towards Ayame and smiling weakly.

“He’s a bastard, that one. He’s caused more trouble with one hand than an entire horde of demons could do with their fists.” He turned towards Tsuzuki and lowered his hands again. “I’m not sure if you’re interested, but if I’m in the process of finding him.” And Kagome… He left that part out, all he needed was Ayame to get upset again. “You’re more than welcome to join me.” He smiled at her, an innocent smile one without the sparkling tooth and wide grin.

The wolf sat up on his haunches, watching the female pup for a moment before swatting his paw forwards. The other wolves that had watched him play around all shared a look, with three flicks of a tail they charged forwards. Dog piling the first wolf and tugging gently at his ears and tails, growling happily and snickering on the inside.

[都Tsuzuki筑]

Ayame's lips flickered into a faint smile as she looked back at Kouga-- she could only imagine what he could have gone through, losing his entire pack to Naraku. Sure, her pack had lost many to Kyokotsu, but nothing compared to what happened to him. She nodded, and murmured something that vaugly sounded like yeah.

Tsuzuki had once again folded her arms, but this time rather than try to look interested with something else, she was watching Kouga.
Travel with them.....?
She stood there silently, eyes downcast, considering it for a minute. There were certainly some good sides to it-- more protection, possibly better chance of finding naraku, and Yukiko would get to be social... But then again she didn't think the redhead would be particularly happy about her being there... But what the hell, she could deal with that for a while-- she'd traveled with groups before and if she got to pissed she could just leave. Kouga looked sincere enough anyway.
"Hmmm... Okay, I suppose I could tag along for a while...."
Ayame innterupted
"You mean us, right? I'm still allowed to come?"
She tired to make it sound like she was joking, but her voice hinted worry.
He better not be trying to pick up on the albino freak.....

Yukiko was then dog-piled, with Ayame's wolf joining in. She barked happily as she struggled to break away from the group.

[¡§qüee!]

The wolf growled playfully, gently biting at passing ligaments and random tail. The other wolves dug themselves out of the pile, then resumed on top of Ayame’s wolves. All of them wagging their tails and flicking their ears. The one wolf on the bottom slowly worked to roll onto his stomach, his tongue hanging out as he tried to breathe. Snickering on the inside he slowly pawed at the snow before him, trying to crawl his way out.

Kouga raised his brow at Ayame, his mouth tipping up into a smile. Cocking his head to the side he rolled his eyes, “No Ayame, I want to travel with the hot pup.” He pointed his thumb in Tsuzuki’s direction before rolling his eyes again as he turned to the dog pile of wolves behind him. Watching them for a moment he glanced over his shoulder, sighing slightly.

“Yes Ayame you still get to come…. Baka.” He whispered the last part to himself, watching the wolves and debating on joining in on their fun. Turning towards Tsuzuki he raised his brow a smidge and smiled at her. “Well if we’re all done here I think we should head on out.”

[都Tsuzuki筑]

"So, I suppose I'm going to have to get used to being called pup then, huh? Not one of my normal nicknames like Zuki or Tsu?"
She smirked a little as she said this-- it may get a bit annoying, but she'd delt with worse. In any event, she was trying to stop herself from full-out grinning at Kouga's comment-- she thought Ayame might actually try and physically hurt her if she did.

Flinching slightly at Kouga's response, she muttered
"Well, I was just checking... You change your mind an aweful lot you know...."
Still, she didn't press anymore into the matter-- she was still coming anyway, and that's all that really mattered to her. Even knowing those comments were said sarcastically though, it bothered her a bit.

Yukiko squrimed her way out of the bottom of the pile, nipping playfully at the others. Once she had wormed her out of the fray, she dove right back in again, nipping at the upside down wolf's ear.

[¡§qüee!]

Whistling Kouga motioned for the wolves to break up their party. With a smirk on his face he watched as PoiPoi, the playful wolf snapping gently at Yukiko. His wolves broke from the pile, their tongue hanging out the side of their mouths as they trotted around Kouga’s legs and rested on their haunches behind him.

PoiPoi lifted his head, his ears flicking back and forth as he tried to get rid of the snow on his fur. Quickly rolling over he shook his salt and pepper cloak and sat on his haunches, cocking his head to the side and trying to smile up at him. Kouga let out a small laugh, leaning over to ruffing up his fur and scratching his ears. “Still a pup huh?”

Standing up he glanced at Tsuzuki and smiled. “Alright pups, lets get going.” He smirked, winking at Tsuzuki before stepping through the wolf print infested snow. Sniffing the air he checked for any familiar scents, be it enemy or foe, satisfied that no one was around he glanced back at Ayame one last time before whistling for his pups again.

[都Tsuzuki筑]

Ayame smiled down at her wolves, and motioned for them to do the same. Obidientally as always, they returned back to her. Tsuzuki was not so lucky.... She kept flicking her tail, trying to summon her back, but Yukiko was too busy running back and forth between the groups of her newfound friends, leaving Zuki a tad embaressed.
"Comeon Yu, ya can't listen to me for once? You're making me look bad."
But she was smiling a not-so-homicidal smile, so Yukiko knew all was well.

When Yukiko ran back over to Ayame's group, she knelt down and offered out her hand, which Yuki sniffed, then licked. Giggling, Ayame patted the top of her head.
"Well aren't you adorable! Hm, I love puppies"

Tsuzuki glanced over at Poipoi, still smiling.
"Methinks that's Yuki in two years. "
Taking a few steps forward, she grinned.
"I guess that's a yes on the pup thing then"

[¡§qüee!]

Tripping over their paws his wolves quickly dashed through the snow after him, kicking up the ice crystals and snapping playfully at each others heels. PoiPoi watched them, standing up again and shaking his body, his tail wagging off the excess snow on his rump. Turning back towards everyone else he let out a soft bark, watching Yukiko and waiting for her to join him.

Kouga glanced over his shoulder at his wolf pup and Yukiko. He was the youngest of the bunch and the only one without siblings or a family for that matter. With a small smirk the wolf leader turned from the group again and headed towards the tree line, winking at Tsuzuki again before he disappeared.

PoiPoi sat on his haunches, waiting patiently for the small pup. He had been accepted into the wolf pack with open arms, but had always felt left out without having a family to share. Yukiko was like him, in a sense, and even though she probably wasn’t an orphan at least she understood loneliness. Or maybe she was too young to fully understand it.

“You coming pups!?” Kouga called from the trees, thoroughly enjoying his new nickname for everyone. Waving a hand over his head he whistled, PoiPoi jumped up and ran to the trees, then stopped slid and turned back. Running around the other two girls before repeating the process again.

[都Tsuzuki筑]

OOC: Squee, wtf happened to your siggy? lol xPPPPPP *lmao*


Tsuzuki grinned at Kouga, shaking her head before turning to Ayame.
"Does he even know where he's going?"
Ayame smiled and shrugged, then turned to follow him, her wolves following at her heels.

Yukiko trotted up to PoiPoi, her tail still wagging. She nudged him in the leg, then trotted a few steps in the direction that Ayame and Kouga left before stopping and turning to look back. She did get lonely sometimes, as Tsuzuki, being that she had close to no maternal instinct, wasn't such wonderful companionship for a puppy, but she really had never known a pack or her parents. Her eyes had just barley opened when Zuki found her, so their little group was all the family she ever had.

Tsuzuki stayed where she was for a minute before sprinting after the other two, closing the distance pretty quickly-- neither of them had really started to leave yet. Slowing her pace and panting lightly, she turned to look at them.
"Well, if none of us know where Naraku is, then where the hell are we going?"

[¡§qüee!]

((Try number three ><))

"I have no idea!" Kouga called over his shoulder, a small smirk on his lips. Stepping through the denser part of the bushes and trees, straying from the path for some reason and keeping his head perked. Suddenly from above him a branch cracked and a pile of snow plopped onto his head. Grumbling and twitching he shook his body, wiping at his arms and tufts of fur. Once clean he glared at the tree and bared his fangs, silently threathening the innocent thing.

PoiPoi glided across the leave and twig infested snow, his paws sinking into the deeper sections of the snow and sending him face first into the snow. With a red tongue hanging out the side of his mouth and panting slightly he continually picked himself up and endured his trek towards his master. Finally stopping beside Kouga, PoiPoi shook his black and white fur and sent the ice crystals sticking to him all over the wolf demon.

Kouga's eyes lowered as he watched the pup, his shoulders slumping and his hand reaching up to wipe at some of the snow. Twitching his nose he growled lowly and tried to glare at the smiling wolf. Reaching forwards he ruffled his fur, grabbing some of the snow from the ground and smushing it on his head. PoiPoi snapped at his hands playfully, dropping to the ground and rolling over to paw at him.

Chuckling Kouga stood up again and grab the two demoness's a smile, "Besides, where's the fun in knowing exactly where you're going?"

[都Tsuzuki筑]

Pretending to roll her eyes, Zuki smirked back, but paused for a second at the edge of the path. Bother her and Ayame stopped, watching him for a moment, unable to do anything but laugh as the snow fell on Kouga's head. At least Ayame was trying to pretend that she didn't find it that funny, but Tsuzuki was nearly doubled over. It took her a minute to regain her composure, but when she did he had already come back over. Still giggling a bit and grinning a bit, she looked over at him.
"Whatsa' matter, you don't like snow?"
Remembering the snarl from before, she added,
"I really don't think it's going to do anything to you."
With that she spun around once and let herself fall backwards into the snow.
Ah, I love snow
No suprise, being that she was an ice elemental. Cold things made her happy. and powerful.

She pulled herself up again, not bothering to shake off the snow. Though her body temperature may be a little lower than normal, but it would melt soon anyway. Nothing to worry about.

Yukiko ran over after Poipoi, but having a little bit harder time in the deep snow since she was so small-- she by the time all this was over, she had just made it back over to the group. She shook off a little snow that had gotten stuck to her pelt before padding over to Poipoi, barking happily.

"Well, I suppose you're right about that."
I don't know where I'm going half the time anyway....
Zuki continued to grin (as that was Tsu's usualy facial expression anyway), and Ayame nodded her head in agreement.
"I'm sure we'll run into someone with some information eventually anyway."
