It's been on my head for a few weeks and this is completely out of my imagination. This is dedicated to my awesome friend, Master of Stories. Inspired by our role playing, I thought what if Max and Saori were boyfriend and girlfriend and she gets kidnapped by some random stranger...with a repuation as a rapist, but the love between the two of them is so strong that it can overcome anything? This is Max and Saori...as adults into the future where their romance triumphs. Warning: may contain violence, language and crazy stuff. Enjoy!
White Tigers United

Prologue
Years ago in China, a little white tiger cub walks across the Valley of Peace by himself and he was minding his own business, heading home until he acidently bumps into someone and he definitely wanted to apologize to look where he was going, but he soon looks up and saw this young white tigress looking up at him and he lets out a deep gasp as he looks into her eyes and it definitely shot him straight to the heart like it was the first time he's seen something so beautiful.
"Wow..." he whispered.
The young white tigress looks up at him and she asked, "Hello? Are you okay?"
He eventually slaps himself back into reality and he quickly responds, "I...I'm sorry. I didn't see where I was going."
"No, it's okay. Don't worry about it." the white tigress said.
She then looks up at tiger cub's hazel-blue eyes and got immediately struck by how it sparkled and has never seen anyone like him before and she said, "What's your name?"
"I'm Maximus. But everyone else calls me Max."
"I'm Saori Okami."
"Saori...that's a pretty name." Max said.
"So's Maximus." Saori added, with a smile.
Max then blushed at this and that made Saori giggle a little bit and she said, "You're cute."
"I...I am?" asked Max.
Saori nooded her head and that made Max feel really infatuated with her from the start and she asked, "Wanna meet my brother?"
"No need."
She turns around and sees her brother; a grey wolf, walking by and as he stood beside her, he looks up at Max and he asked, "What's your name?"
"I'm...Max."
The white wolf lets out a little smile as he was familiarized with this cub and he said, :You're the one that saved my sister from those croc bandits, right?"
"Yeah?" asked Max, nervously.
"You remember Akashi, right? He's my wolf brother." Saori asked.
He then looks up at Akashi in the eye and recognized him from the nose up and he said, "Yeah, I remember him. You know my wolf brother, right?"
"Arizona? Yeah, he's awesome. Not to mention one heck of a fighter too." Akashi exclaimed.
Just then, Max spots a mountain cat coming towards Akashi and he said, "Hey, sweetie. What's going on?"
"Miyo! Hi there. We were just..." Akashi said, then Miyo turns her attention to Max and she was immediately hooked onto his attention as she patted her head.
"What's your name, sweetie?" asked Miyo.
"I'm Max."
"He's the one that saved me from those stupid croc bandits." Saori reminded.
Miyo then gasped in surprise that Saori had saved Max from those croc bandits and then she looked down to him and asked, "That was you?"
"Uh-huh." Max replied.
"Wow...you must be brave." Miyo said, excitedly.
Max smiled, then laughed softly at this and replied, "Oh, it's nothing."
Saori immediately comes up to Max and gives him a kiss on the cheek, in which made Max froze in shock and Akashi really surprised that she gave him something in return for saving her. Saori giggled and said, "That's for saving me."
And then.. she kissed him on the mouth, which also shocked Max as well and she said, "That's for hoping that we'll be together."
Max didn't really say anything and he just stood there, not moving that he was actually kissed twice and in response, he fainted. Akashi lets out a chuckle as he took some time to read Max's aura and he makes a pretty big discovery.
He looks at Miyo and he said, "I think Saori and Max would make a cute couple together."
"You think so?"
Arizona walks by and sees Akashi, Miyo and Saori standing there and Akashi was the first one to give Arizona a fist bump and Arizona said to him, "I saw the whole thing as I was gonna find Max."
"Did you see where...?" asked Akashi.
"Yep. I think these two are gonna be made for each other." Arizona replied.
Some Years later (A/N: Teen years; Max, 16 and Saori, 17)
Both Saori and Max are now teenagers and they spent a lot of time dating and stuff, from walking around the Valley to just playing around in the grass together. Max is always one to keep her laughing whenever he tells her a little joke or to make her day extra special and Saori's always one to be safe around Max when he protects her from whatever comes to her.
They looked at the sunset together further from the Valley of Peace as both of them cuddle close to each other and she nuzzles up close to Max's chest and said to him, "Promise me that you'll always be by my side no matter what."
Max looks at Saori in the eyes and he said, "I promise. I'll do everything I can to make you happy and to never leave you alone."
Soon, she comes closer to Max and they both kissed their lips in the most sweet and tender way and as they broke off, both of them started laughing very awkwardly and Saori asked, "What just happened?"
"Um...I think we kissed." Max replied, chuckling bashfully.
"Think we should...try that again just to make sure?" asled Saori.
"The thought crossed my mind."
Max then puts his finger on her cheek and kissed Saori in the lips again and this time...it was full of equal passion and their tongues started dancing around each other like out of control because it was full love between the two tigers. They then wrapped their bodies around each other while they continued on kissing.
After only 5 minutes, they broke off the kiss and she whispered, "I love you so much, Max."
"I love you too, Saori." Max whispered back.
She then puts her head above his chest and Max slowly patted her, to which she lets out a very small purr each time he rubs her head and held her closely so that they would never be apart.
They were both unaware that both Arizona and Akashi were spying on them and they saw they affection on display behind the bushes and Akashi lets out a small chuckle and said, "Max is the one for sure."
"Yeah, they're really right for each other. I know he's making a great boyfriend." Arizona whispered.
Akashi agreed with that and he said, "Wonder if they'll be mates in the future?"
"That would be great. We shouldn't be spying on them." Arizona added.
Akashi silently snickers and said, "We're not spying. We're just keeping an eye on them."
"What are you boys doing?"
They both turned around and saw Miyo standing there and Akashi could see that this was not one of her better moods and he said, "Hi..."
"Are you two spying on both Max and Saori?" asked Miyo, glaring at Akashi.
Akashi chuckled nervously while staring at Miyo's angry glare at him and he said, "Arizona...little help."
"You're on your own with this one." Arizona said, quickly.
Few years later...(Young adults; Saori, 19 and Max, 18)
Saori was walking home one night and she was in very good spirits after spending some time with Max again and she couldn't ask for any other mate other than the one she's with and would love to spend the rest of her life with.
She was unaware that out of the shadows that someone was watching her and it looks like he wants her all to himself and let no one else have her and he lets out a sharp, yet silent growl as he begins to prowl on her.
She hears some footsteps coming by and she might've assumed that it was Akashi coming in to spy on her and she knows how much she doesn't like it when her wolf brother plays pranks on her and she said, "Akashi...if that's you, quit it."
Then, the footsteps gets a lot quicker and that made her very afraid and it's when she knew...that it wasn't Akashi.
"Hello? Is anyone here?"
All of a sudden, she gets punched, slapped and kicked to the ground and then shoved down and pinned by a Bengal orange tiger who's much older than her and puts a knife on her throat and said, "I've been watching you."
"Who the hell are you?!" Saori asked, fearfully.
The tiger growled at her as he tightened his grip on her arm, causing Saori to scream in pain, but the tiger slapped her in the face and said, "Shut up! If you want to know what's good enough for you, you'd have a better chance of being with me!"
Saori lets go of him and she told him, "I've already got a boyfriend! And I don't even know you!"
She walks away and that tiger refused to take no for an answer and he releases his daemon powers and that pretty much scared her straight up and he comes closer to Saori and said, "I don't think you even know who you're gonna deal with. Now...you come with me and leave your punkass boyfriend for me! Like it or not...you're my bitch!"
Saori got seriously offended by what he just said and replied, "I'm nobody's bitch."
He then grabbed her and just beat her down and shoved her in a bag and said, "Watch who you're talking to!"
He then drags her off and Saori started shouting for help, but the tiger whipped her harshly and shouted, "Shut up! If you live to be my wife..."
"Never!" Saori shouted.
She began protesting against this very loudly and it caught Max's attention as he was walking by and he had thought it was Saori's voice and he just thought he'd investigate and from the sounds of it...it is Saori.
"Saori?!
"Max? Max! Help me!" Saori shouted.
The tiger wasn't gonna have this and as he saw Max running to save her, the masked tiger brought out his daemon powers and used it to beat up Max and slam him down hard and he said, "You stay away from my mate!"
Max growls angrily after that stranger tiger referred to Saori as his mate and he said, "Since when?"
"I said so!"
"Max!"
"Saori!"
"Help me!"
The unmasked tiger began beating the crap out of her with every chance he gets and as Max watched her mate being swept away from this monster, he felt completely helpless that his one time to save her was being stopped by this crazy tiger that neither of them knew and it hurt Max to see that this person was gonna take her away.
He lets out a few tears as he lowered his head down and started crying helplessly, feeling like he had failed his promise to her and Akashi.
'I'm so sorry, Saori...my love. I'll come back for you...I promise.'
