Wolf and Her Feelings

She giggles that I say such things. She says "Well you are not quite 10,000 years old yet are you?" I say "By my estimate you are only 7,500 years or so." She blushes as I am close. I laugh and she snickers. She says back "No, no I am 7,550 years old." She starts grooming her tail and says "I wish to tell you something. Something about Minato." She blushes and I say back "Go on then."

She states "He was my... closest friend. I said that I wanted to adventure but he stayed in Yoitsu with my brother. I felt sadness because I actually felt he was more than just a friend." I still looked normal where as she may of been jealous. This may have upset her a little bit inside to know I care about that less.

"He ended up leaving 20 years later according to my brother. He left to look for me. My guess is he met you five years later as he was a slow traveler. I looked for him but could not find him. It does sadden me that he died but it gladdens me that he was friends with you" I said "He felt more like a brother to me." As I look down in sadness.

"Well at least you got revenge." Though I could tell that was to cheer me up. It failed terribly. She continued "But be glad, I fell more in love with you." She giggled at me as I slowly looked up still sad. "You know you did still keep his will true and then some." Here I smirk and while pulling her towards I, still on my back, hug her tightly.

She watches my eyes get wide and asks what the matter is. I exclaim "I JUST REMEMBERED!" As I said this I dove my left hand into a pocket on my coat. I searched around as it was a portal through space to a storeroom. She asked "What the hell do you think you will find in that pocket?" I exclaimed "I FINALLY REMEMBERED! AND I FOUND IT!" As I say this I pull out a long sheet of rolled up parchment treated to not decay.

Next I pulled out a ivory comb with a wolf head on the end. She says "That comb rings a bell I think..." I said "Well... That is because it is from... Lawrence..." I say this slowly because she is practically trying to crush me with her hug. She blushes and her eyes get large. I unroll the parchment and hand it to her along with the comb.

Dear Altiazio, you are the second wolf spirit I have seen in my life. If you ever meet Holo in the time after I die, please protect her. If you agree please do not tell her of this until after I die. Which will probably be another 25 years… Anyhow, keep her safe. She is an amazing person, kind and caring. Never let her go. Signed, Lawrence. P.S. Use the name "Preston" as we are currently in one. A pun on the term Priest's Town.

She looked at me after reading the letter as I could only sense, as I was sitting up and looking down rubbing my tail. I could sense that she was surprised that I met her friend and Lawrence. Also that she wondered how much of my feelings for her actually mine and not theirs are. I said "Everyone silent so I can concentrate on something for a while" Holo kept staring at me and I entered her mind. Her eyes grew large but I said "Shhh it is just me Holo..." she tried to stay calm as well as she could.

When I entered her mind I said "Holo... I will drag you into my memories to show you MY feelings to you... also the feelings that carried over..." She calmed and I soon dragged her in. I used experiences with her to show her my thoughts that showed my and others feelings for her. About ten minutes later I exited her of my mind.

She stared at me with her eyes wide and tearing while smiling. She ran straight at me and hugged me. Everyone else left without a word seeing this. I stood there looking at her... her tail was wagging and I could sense how happy she was. She was delighted to see just how much I alone felt for her.

She jokingly asked, "Anyone else you met that I knew?" I sensed it but stared down at her and said "Well... I could actually...answer that joke... Your brother." She felt surprise as now I automatically felt her feelings through my powers. I said "Though it was more about Minato as he wished us luck and asked if either of us had seen you since Minato set off. *Here I sadden* this was 2 years before he died..."

"Your brother he was... Stronger than most as we practice sparred. But of course, being me I could pin him by his neck." Here we both smiled and laughed. She said "Well if that wraps it up... can you come into my mind... to see how I feel for you?"

I stare at her but agree. When I enter I feel loneliness and misery. This was before she met me. Soon I saw through her eyes, meeting me. She was somewhat interested that I could tell her out. She switched to the memory of L on fire. She caught a glimpse of my tail as I ran. She felt shock here. She also felt less lonely.

Now she switched to when I ran away, and she was feeling less lonely and by this point was in love with me. As she saw my full form as a human she let out, what I thought wasn't true feelings of love, actually less about how she loves me than she felt. Now I saw when I confessed my feelings to her. She felt no loneliness and was so happy she was about to cry.

Now here was the wedding. She was so happy she was actually shaking with joy. This was where she withdrew and I exited her mind. I smiled the happiest smile I have in a long time. She knew that I saw what she wanted me to see.
