"Grandma, grandma
"Grandma, grandma!!" a little 5 year old girl exclaimed as she jumped up into an older woman's arms. The woman laughed, her emerald green eyes dancing.
"Well hello, Emiko. Haven't seen you in a while, huh?" she said with a grin. A man came walking in with their bags, looking a little disgruntled.
"'Rora, did ya have to pack so m-oof!". "GRANDPA!!" Emiko interrupted. She leapt from her grandmothers arms and talked the man to the ground. Aurora laughed at them both. The man looked up from his place on the floor.
"How come you don't get tackled?" he whined. She just grinned.
"What, getting slow in your old age, Kouga?" She chuckled. The man scowled playfully while he lifted the girl off of him. A woman with long black hair and green eyes came in shaking her head.
"Emiko, what have I told you about jumping on your grandfather?" She asked sternly. Emiko looked up sheepishly.
"Not to do it, 'cause I might hurt 'im?" She almost asked. Kouga sputtered indignantly.
"Hey, I'm not THAT old!!" He exclaimed. Everyone laughed.
"Well those bags aren't goin' to move themselves, hun" Aurora told him with a smirk. A man came into the porch area.
"Here Kouga, I'll give you a hand." He said with a chuckle at the face Kouga was giving his wife. He turned to him with relief.
"Thanks Yoru"
"Grandma? Can you tell me the story about the wolf demon and the girl who fell down the magic well? PLEASE?" Emiko begged. Aurora traded knowing glances with her husband then glanced down at her and sighed.
"Oh, could those eyes get any bigger?" She asked playfully then tapped her lap. Emiko cheered and hopped up.
"Well, it all starts with a young girl, about 18 years old. She had long red hair and green eyes. She lived in America with her pet wolf, Kamui. She was going to Japan to visit her cousin, but when she got to their house, no one was there. So, she decided to look around and thought she heard something in the well house, for they lived on a shrine…"
