Last Chapter...Let's do this.

Hauru ran through the tall grass, a large smile spread across her face. The wind blew through her hair and against her face. Sandulf had seemed to have noticed her now because he turned his head toward her and immediately jumped up on his paws.

"Sandulf!" Hauru called out his name and pumped her legs faster.

Sandulf began to run toward her, she could see the joy in his face. She soon felt that untamable sensation erupt from her core and she soon found herself running on great paws. The wind whipping through her fur and the strength and power she possessed. To her it was breathtaking. She bounded for Sandulf and when she got near, Sandolf skidded to a stop. Hauru sensed he was uncertain of this new change. She too, skidded to a halt a few feet before him. Sandolf blinked. Hauru then dropped low to the ground in a play bow. She wagged her tail and whimpered before bounding up in the air and pracing a circle around. She pranced with her tail and head held high in pride as she showed off her new form. From the corner of her eye she saw Sandulf staring at her as she made circles around him. She slowly stopped in front of him and whimpered at him. Sandulf met her gaze, his eyes and face showed a hint of human emotions. Referring to the young human core inside him. He whimpered back at Hauru. Hauru yipped and wagged her tail which made Sandulf perk up. He yipped and wagged his tail back at her. They sprang toward each other and crashed against each other. They greeted each other like how wolves do. Both of them held their tails high as they licked each other under their chins. Whimpering with joy and satisfaction. Finally they placed their foreheads against each others.

"Hauru!" her name was called behind them, Hauru looked back at Angela standing in the field gasping for air. Genji soon caught up with her.

Their gazes locked for a long moment before Hauru looked back at Sandulf. She whimpered sadly before looking down at the ground. She was torn yet again. Slowly Hauru turned away and began to head down the hill toward Genji and Angela. Hauru felt herself get smaller suddenly as she approached.

"Hauru, who's that?" Angela asked, looking over at the large white wolf, pacing back and forth behind Hauru at a distance. His eyes were settled on the humans.

"Sandulf...another lab experiment...we came from the same lab and he managed to escape before I did. He promised me he would come back for me…" Hauru said, she didn't meet their gaze.

"Hauru…"

"I wanna go with you, really I do but…" Hauru trailed off and she looked back at Sandulf who had paused his pacing and met her eyes.

"Hauru…" Hauru felt a warm hand cup her cheek and hold her head up to face Angela in front of her.

"Is this what you want?" she asked, Hauru looked away from her. She didn't know.

"I...I don't know…" she murmured softly, she could hear Sandulf whimpering at her.

"It's just that...every time I look at him and that forest...I...I just wanna go there but…" Hauru closed her eyes and shook her head.

"Hauru…" Genji's voice murmured her name, making her turn to him.

"Will this make you happy?" he asked, Hauru hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly. They lingered in silence for a few seconds at that. It would be quite without Hauru there with them. Genji looked up at Sandulf who was standing about thirty feet away from Hauru. His golden eyes fixed on them. Genji then understood.

"As long as your happy...then we are…" he said, his voice cracked slightly but he was doing his best not to break down.

Good thing he had his faceplate on. Hauru stared at him for a moment before lifting her hand up in the air in front of Genji. Genji paused for a few seconds before slowly bringing his hand up and mirroring it with his own. With Hauru's small, soft hand pressed against his palm, Genji could feel the tears starting to flow down his face slowly. Hauru gave him a soft smile before suddenly lunged toward him. Genji grunted in surprise when Hauru rammed into his torso and wrapped her arms around him. Genji hesitated for a second before returning the hug. He ran his hand over her head gently as she buried her face into his chest plate. Soon they felt another pair of arms wrap around them. Hauru took one of her arms and hugged Angela closer to them.

"Thank you…" Hauru whispered softly.

"We will come and visit whenever we get the chance…" Angela replied gently, Hauru wagged her tail and hummed.

"And no matter what, you will always be our little okami…" Genji said and began to tie a sparrow feather in Hauru's hair. When he finished gently tying the feather they suddenly felt warm fur through their fingers.

Both Genji and Angela let go of Hauru to find a large eight foot tall wolf standing over them. Hauru whimpered softly down at them and lowered her head down to their level. She let them stroke her muzzle with gentle hands and she blinked her eyes slowly at their comforting touch. She heard Angela chuckle a little through a cracking voice. Hauru saw the tear streaming down Angela's face but a soft quivering smile was edged on her face. Hauru whimpered softly at her before licking her face with her tongue gently. Angela chuckled again at that and pressed her hands on either side of Hauru's face. Hauru and Angela then pressed their foreheads together.

"Sei ein gutes Mädchen…" Angela murmured softly and Hauru replied with a soft whimper yet again.

Angela kissed Hauru on the forehead, making the wolf wag her tail. Genji then approached them both and Angela released Hauru to go to him. Hauru yipped softly before tackling Genji in the grass. Genji grunted when he landed on his back with Hauru staring down at him, both of her paws on either side of him. She licked him repeatedly, making Genji laugh out loud. When she stopped Genji reached up and ruffled her fur on her cheeks. Hauru wagged her tail madly and soon let Genji get up from the tall grass. Angela and Genji laughed for a few seconds before Hauru slowly turned and started to head toward the white wolf. Sandulf wagged his tail and whimpered when Hauru approached. Hauru whimpered back and bowed in a playful position before bounding off toward the forest. Before Sandulf was about to bound after her, he looked back at the agents.

"Take care of her…" Angela whispered softly, letting the west wind carry her words to the wolf. Sandulf stared at her for a moment before slowly nodding his head in agreement. They watched the two wolves gallop away toward the forest, through the grassy plain. Sandulf had caught up to Hauru now and was racing along beside her.

"Bye…" Genji whispered softly.

As if Hauru had heard him, she skidded to a halt and looked back at them. Sandulf stopped a few feet ahead of her and looked back to. Hauru stared back at them for a few seconds.The wind brushed through her fur as she looked back at the people she had grown to care for. The people who saved her, accepted her and gave her life meaning. She then threw back her head and howled, letting the world around her hear her story and feel her emotions. She had waited, prayed and dreamed for this day to come. She had fought and killed her way here. She had finally gotten what she had always wanted. Hauru was free.

The End.
