Ginga Ocean Jim
Chapter 3-Kaze and Kiniro
Kaze sighed as he lay listening to his daughter cry in her bed.
"Kiniro, why is this necessary? Our daughter doesn't need this pressure on her early in life." he had told her earlier. His mate responded by saying that this would prevent anyone from as she put it 'moving in on her'.
He shook his head, unhappy with the day's events.
After his daughter had fallen asleep, he went on top of the roof. He looked around, it was quiet and he could barely see anyone.
He then heard someone else get onto the roof.
"Hey Kaze, sorry I'm late." he said.
Coming out of the shadows was a German shepherd. Kaze smiled, "Hey Jara. How is Jim doing?" he asked, wondering about the safety of his daughter's best friend. Jara sighed,
"He's worried about Alice as much as I am. What has gotten into Kiniro anyway to make her daughter marry someone she doesn't love?" he said somewhat annoyed and unhappy.
Kaze nodded, "I know, Alice does love him from what I can tell. She just hasn't told him yet." he said, looking up at the moon. Jara smiled,
"The moon sure is brighter than normal, isn't it Kaze?" asked Jara, a slight smile gracing his muzzle. Kaze nodded,
"Yeah…"

Kiniro sighed as she watched her daughter sleeping on her bed.
"How could Kaze fail to understand why I'm making Alice marry Daniel?" she said sadly.
Tears fell down her face and onto the floor.
"It's the only way…for her to survive…otherwise he'll kill her…" she said softly in a whisper.
The golden Akita sighed as she got up and went outside. She sniffed the air in,
"Ah the night smells so good…" she said sadly. Her ear twitched as she heard someone walking down the dirt road. Coming into the street-light, she could see it was Rin, Jim's mother. She sighed annoyed,
"What do you want Rin?" she asked, staring into her eyes directly. The German shepherd sighed and simply said,
"Jim's in love with Alice. He just told me before he fell asleep." she said. Kiniro's expression turned cold for a moment.
"Rin…they can't fall in love…" she said sighing. Rin grew angry with her friend,
"Can't you see that you are hurting your daughter by making an arranged marriage!" she yelled at her. Kiniro said nothing except,
"If they don't mate and have pups, my owner will kill her…I can't have that happen…Rin…" she said, beginning to cry again. Rin calmed down and soon understood what her friend was saying.
"Oh god, why?" she said horrified. "What is he thinking! This could damage everything we worked so hard to make!" she yelled. Kiniro nodded,
"I've made a horrible mistake and I can't fix it…"
