Encounter

Mikan's POV

Raven colored fur. Blood-red eyes full of intelligence. He -no IT- yawned, showing off the row of razor sharp teeth framing its mouth. The teeth gleamed in the moonlight.

It was a… At this I frowned.

The girl, about the age of 10, was scrutinizing it. "Are you a wolfie?" she thought aloud. The wolf looked into her eyes; she was not afraid, her wide eyes staring back, shining with curiosity. The wolf approached her slowly, still staring into those chocolate brown eyes. Those eyes were warm, and bright, unguarded, trusting…She was a child after all.

"I'm Mikan." She waited for a reaction. Not getting one, she said again, very slowly. "M-I-K-A-N." This caused the wolf to glare. It understood human language perfectly. How dare she, this messy girl with her brown pigtails so messed up, mock it? Mikan froze, eyes wide at the hostility that the wolf's eyes showed. Nevertheless, she took a breath and started talking. "You know, Mama tells me that wolfies howl." She pondered over what she had said. "Can I call you Nat? Mama says that my I have a brother called Nat too, but I have never seen him before." The girl's expression turned sad.

Wolf's POV

This little girl talked too much. Should I eat her? No, I was not hungry, yet…What? Nat? As if. I narrowed my eyes but at seeing her sad expression, I nodded reluctantly. I had a name…sort of. I think it was Nat-something…AH! Natsume! Her nickname was surprisingly close to my old name…I will take it then.

Mikan smiled almost immediately, running toward Nat and giving him a giant hug. 'For a shrimp, she was strong.' Natsume thought as he was pinned by the innocent Mikan. He was about the same size as Mikan, which made his words quite contradicting. An idea flashed in his mind. 'Well, if it will get this girl off me…' he thought as he used his nuzzle to poke under Mikan's skirt. "Ahh! HENTAI NAT!" She screamed as she jumped off him. 'HAH, it worked.'.

Natsume gave a toothy grin, which in turn made Mikan laugh at the silly expression. The two "friends" started playing, running around the forest all day long.

Finally, the sun was setting. Natsume realized and using his nose, poked Mikan's back, prodding her towards the direction of her house. The girl was having too much and and had forgotten the time. "BYE BYE Nat! SEE YOU TOMORROW!" she shouted as she ran back home, her figure fading away. Natsume turned and ran into the forest…
