Enjoy, and please review!
Ookami-san gathered all the wolves, and questioned all the animals in the forest. He would not let Kuma die because of him, and this time it wasn't just his duty saying that. He wanted to find Kuma, and apologize, and tell him the truth, even if he didn't understand it himself. He didn't know where to go from there, but he didn't want to lose Kuma. He didn't know what he would do if he lost Kuma.
He started at Kuma's den. His scent was faint, but there. He had never been the best at tracking, but maybe he could find him. He followed the footprints and scent, and ran as fast as he could.
"Kuma?" He called as he ran. "Kuma!" All the animals he passed looked at him like he was crazy, but he ignored them. He could smell his scent, but the snow was depleting it quickly. He ran and ran, until he couldn't run anymore. He didn't know the forest was so big. He was starting to give up hope. He could barely smell anything through the snow anymore, and his nose was as cold as ice.
"Kuma." He sighed.
"Excuse me." A tiny voice said from above him. Ookami-san looked up, and saw a terrified looking bird. "Ah! Please don't eat me, Mr. Wolf. But, uh, are you by chance looking for a very skinny bear?"
"Yes!" Ookami-san yelled, nearly scaring the poor bird into falling out of the tree.
"I, uh, thought so. I saw him a little bit ago, and thought it funny that I wasn't the only one unprepared for winter. He's about half a mile that way." The bird pointed with a wing.
Ookami-san was already running before the bird finished his sentence.
It only took a few minutes after that to finally find Kuma, and he was in much worse shape than he'd ever been in.
"Kuma!" Ookami-san yelled, crashing on his knees beside him and brushing the snow off of his body. He felt his neck for a pulse and was glad to find the faintest heartbeat. "Kuma, you have to get up. Come on, Kuma." He shook and yelled at him, but he just wouldn't wake up.
"Fuck." Ookami-san growled. He picked Kuma up and adjusted him until he was on his back, then started running towards the his den. He hoped he would make it in time, and they could still save him.
