And the last chapter revolves around Hope's dad and Takami's mom.


Chapter 7: Akio x Okami

It was a wonderful evening and Akio made his way over to the Skyfang house for a little date and he was spiffed up for the occasion and when he finally made it to the house, he took a little time to make sure his outfit was spick and span and that he looks and smells good. He knocks on the door and waits there until someone answers the door and soon enough, Okami answers the door and she's thrilled to see Akio standing there.

"Hello, Okami." Akio said, looking at her.

Okami smiled and she said, "I'm glad you made it, Akio. I was starting to think you'd forgotten about our date."

Akio chuckled softly at that and he said, "Of course not. If I did, I wouldn't have gotten you some flowers."

He pulls out some roses and gives it to her and he said, "I know you don't care much for roses, but I thought I would make a good impression."

Okami gladly accepts the roses and lets him in the house, but not before Okami tells him, "Please leave your sandals outdoors."

Akio was a little surprised by that, but just went along with it and took off his sandals and came in the house anyway, but he then asked, "Are you worried that someone might steal it?"

"I have my ways of letting them know that they won't steal any of our shoes." Okami answered.

Akio didn't even bother to ask what the reason was...so he just kept it to himself and made his way to the kitchen and Okami said, "Where'd you find those roses?"

"At this flower shop closer to Mr. Ping's Noodle Shop." Akio answered.

She placed them in a vase to the dining room, which is surrounded by candles and Okami said, "Thank you."

"This is gonna be a great dinner date." Akio said, happily.

"Yep. Just you and me in this whole house." Okami agreed.

Throughout the night, Akio started cooking and prepping for this wonderful dinner and after that, they indulged themselves to some noodles, stir-fry and egg rolls. As they were eating, Okami was pleasantly surprised at how good Akio's cooking is and she said, "This is some of the best food you've ever tasted."

"Why, thank you. Years of working at my noodle shop helps." Akio answered.

Okami laughs softly at that and said, "I might have to go try some...again. Maybe you can reserve a table for two."

"I'll see what I can do." Akio said, smiling.

After dinner, they could not eat another bite because they were super full and Akio lets out a deep sigh and said, "And I thought Hope was a heavy eater than me."

"Everything was delicious, Akio. Thank you." Okami said.

Akio nods his head in response to that and told her, "You're quite welcome."

Later on, both of them headed to Okami's bedroom and as soon as they got a minute to themselves, Akio took out a little gift he had bought for her and waits for the right time to give it to her to show their love for each other. He also noticed Okami holding a picture of someone and when he got a little closer, he saw this half-ripped picture and he asked, "Was that your husband?"

"Yeah, that was him. He's not really that much of a father...or a good husband for that matter." Okami responded, bitterly growling at the last part.

"I'm...I'm really sorry to hear that. It must've been horrible to deal with someone like him." Akio said, sitting next to her.

"He was the reason why I dropped Takami off at the orphanage. I gave this guy three children and he just wanted to bring harm to one of them. It's funny that the person you thought was the one...would turn out to be such a cruel, power-hungry monster." Okami said.

"Well...what was his reason for getting Takami?" asked Akio, putting his paw over her shoulder.

Okami sighed heavily and just puts down the picture and replied, "It's better if I don't reveal everything to you. All I can say is that he's gone and I'm much better off without him."

Akio sighed heavily at this and he couldn't imagine what it would be like if someone he had loved wasn't really what he expected to be and he said, "At least you were married."

Now it was Okami's turn to be surprised by what Akio meant by that and asked, "You never got married?"

"No. I thought I would find the love of my life...but it never really came." Akio said, lowering his ears.

Okami then puts her paw on his leg and said, "Well...I think you do now."

They looked at each other for a second and they got lost in each other's eyes that sparks flew very fast and they leaned in for a kiss on the lips and only a few seconds came by and they kissed each other passionately with their arms all around each other. A few minutes have passed and Okami looked at Akio for a second and she said, "I never thought in a million years that I would be kissed by a wolf."

"And I never thought I'd be kissed by a tigress." Akio added.

Okami chuckled softly at this and she said, "Sometimes, they think we have a bad reputation...which at times is true, but there's more to us than they think."

"What do you mean?" asked Akio.

"There's one way to know." Okami said, in a sly voice.

Almost immediately, Okami slowly unbuttons Akio's vest and removes it and Akio was a little surprised as to what she's doing, but he couldn't resist as they took each other's clothes off and proceeded to do a little bit of mating.

By the next morning, Okami and Akio were seen in each other's arms, sleeping in the same bed they're in and as the early rays of sunbeams shined on Akio, he groans softly and wakes up, rubbing his head and yawning loudly. He turns around to see Okami still asleep and he was kinda surprised as to what just happened and of course...they had just mated.

Akio woke her up by a slight rub on the ear and that got her up quickly and she turns around and sees Akio sitting there on the other side of the bed and she said, "Morning, handsome wolf."

"Hey, Okami." Akio said.

Okami turns to the white wolf and she said to him, "Thanks for the wonderful dinner and sleepover of our own."

"Yeah...about that. Did we really just mate?" asked Akio, scratching the back of his head.

Okami nodded her head in response to that and it was unexpected for him, but satisfying at the same time that it just led up to that moment and he said, "Amazing."

"Since we have mated, do you think we should keep this to ourselves?" asked Okami.

Akio did think about what would happen if their kids found out about this and both of them aren't sure how they'll react to this and he said, "I think the worst thing is that they'd ever find out for themselves."

"Yeah, it's likely my kids will suspect something." Okami added.

Akio nodded at that and he said, "I think we might tell them when it's time. For now, this is between you and me."

"Agreed." Okami added and gave him a kiss on the muzzle.

That made Akio blush a little bit and he was thrilled to receive a kiss from Okami after last night and he did not notice that it was sunrise until it hit him. He gasped in shock and said, "Oh, no! I'm gonna be late to open up the shop!"

Akio quickly got out of the bed and frantically puts his clothes back on and Okami said, "I gotta be at Mr. Ping's."

After Akio got dressed, Okami motioned him to climb out of the window so that he couldn't get caught by either Takami, Tamaki or Kaila and Akio graciously did so as he climbed out of there, but not before saying, "I had a wonderful time with you. We should do this again."

"I agree. I'll see you around." Okami said, whispering.

Soon after, Akio leapt down to the ground and ran to his noodle shop, but left a huge smile on his face after an amazing date ending with a memory he'll never forget and that confirms that Akio and Okami...are definitely having a huge spark in themselves.
