Ayuki's POV! (Exciting chapter! At least i think so...)

Ch. 14

I awoke to the sun beating down on me. I stretched and felt my foot hit something and I heard a growl. I sat up and looked at the foot of my bed and Lealie was still sleeping, as was the he-wolf. I gotta out of bed and stretched, enjoying the warmth of the rays coming in from the window. Then I turned around and hit the bed really hard saying, "Get up you lazy bums! Its already the middle of the day and we haven't even done anything yet!"

The two wolves yelped and jumped off the bed, shaking their fur. I laughed and said, "Well that got you guys up!"

I just got some disapproving looks and Lealie looked like she wanted to rip my throat out, but they just turned and went downstairs. I followed them. The house was empty except for Toboe, who was sitting on the couch.

"Where is everybody?" I asked, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing his cheek.

He smiled and said, "They went out in the village to do something. I didn't feel like going." Then kissing me on my cheek.

"Oh. Ok. Well why don't I go get changed and we can take a run through the woods, in our wolf forms because I haven't run in awhile like that and I kinda miss it." I said, resting my head on his shoulder, my arms still around his neck.

"Sounds good to me." He said, turning and kissing me on my cheek again.

"Alright. I'll be back in a few." I said, turning and heading for the stairs.

Lealie was laying beside the he-wolf in front of the couch. She licked his ear and followed me up to my room. She jumped on my bed and laid down with her front paws and head hanging off it. I went to my closet and chose a pair of light blue jeans with a few little holes in them and then went to my dresser and chose a yellow shirt with black roses all over it and changed. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and slipped on my shoes, smiling, and turned to face Lealie. She had her head up with her ears pricked up.

"Whatcha think?" I asked posing.

She yelped and wagged her tail.

"I'll take that as an ok!" I said happily, going over and petting her. Her tail wagged faster and she licked my face. "Well let's get going."

We headed downstairs. Toboe was still sitting on the couch and the he-wolf was still laying in front of the couch. But as Lealie and I made our way down the stairs, Toboe turned around and had a surprised look on his face, and the he-wolf lifted up his head and it looked like he was smiling.

I looked at Toboe in confusion and asked, "What?"

"N—nothing. Nothing at all." He said stuttering and still smiling.

"If you say so. Let's get going before the others get back." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him off the couch and towards the door.

He just laughed and followed. I let Lealie and her "friend" go first, then Toboe, then with me closing the door behind me, with a huge grin on my face. We walked a little ways in the woods then transformed. I could feel my bones shifting but it didn't hurt, I just mostly felt this tingling sensation. Within a few minutes I was lower to the ground and on four silvery paws.

It felt good to be in my wolf form. I feel free and so alive! I looked at Toboe, who was a dark brown wolf with a lighter under belly and chest and a white spot in the center of his chest that looks kind of like a wolf in a way and three silver bracelets on his right paw, just like he does in his human form, and also he has light golden eyes. He is so magnificent! I am glad to have him as my partner. And as for myself. I am a silver wolf with white spots that when I move it looks like they fade in with the silver fur and a white under belly and a little bit of silver on my chest and black lines going from my ears to the tip of my nose and instead of golden eyes like a lot of wolves do, my eyes are a green-bluish mix. Some people have said that depending on my mood, like if I'm sad or angry my eyes turn turquoise blue but if I'm calm and collected then my eyes turn a forest green and if I'm content or excited they are a mix of green and blue, like right now.

I smiled a wolf smile and took off, with Toboe shouting and Lealie and her friend smiling and following. Man! How good it felt to have the wind rushing through my fur! I felt like I could fly! Toboe finally caught up with me and said, "What did you do that for!"

I just smiled and said smartelicy, "Because I wanted too!" and ran faster, laughing.

"Hey! That's not fair!" I heard Toboe yell.

I just laughed even harder and yelled back, "Who said it had to be fair!"

I heard him huff and laughed harder. I wish I could run like this every day, but with me being the Hokage and all its kind of hard. 'O well, I can enjoy it here and now.', I thought. So I just kept on running, until I came to the cliff. It took Toboe and Lealie and Sadiki a few minutes to catch up. And yes I named the he-wolf. It seems to fit him, I think. Anyways, Toboe sat beside me, smiling. He then licked my cheek and I looked at him and smiled and licked him back and then rested my head on his shoulder.

"I think we should name Lealie's friend Sadiki." I said, quietly, to were Lealie and him couldn't hear.

Toboe raised an eye-brow and asked, "Why?"

"Well for starters, he doesn't seem to want to leave and it also seems that you two are getting along pretty well. And he seems like he will be faithful to us and Lealie, which is what his name means." I said, shrugging my shoulders.

Toboe was silent for a minute then said with a smile, "That sounds just fine to me."

I licked his cheek and went over to Sadiki. In our wolf forms our group can understand and talk to real live wolves as if we were talking person to person.

"Hey, Lealie's friend. Can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked, smiling.

"Sure." And we walked into the woods a little ways.

I sat down and looked at him calmly and when he sat down I began. "Do you want to stay with us?"

"Yea! I mean yes. I would like that very much." He said, a little embarrassed but his tail was wagging and he was smiling.

I smiled as well and said, "Well Lealie will definitely be happy about that. Now for your name. I hope you don't mind but I already picked out a name but if you don't like it then you can change it if you wish." He nodded and waited patiently. "The name I chose for you was Sadiki. It means faithful, which I think will fit you perfectly." Smiling wide.

He said the name over and over a few times then looked at me with a huge smile on his face and said, "That's perfect! Thank you! Thank you!"

I laughed and said, "Your welcome. Now let's get back and watch the sun set then enjoy the rise and glow of the moon."

He nodded, still smiling and we headed back to Toboe and Lealie. I sat next to Toboe and a few minutes later I could hear and see Lealie yipping and bouncing around Sadiki. I laughed to myself and turned my attention back to the setting sun, which filled the sky with this beautiful light purple and pink mixed a little bit with a kind of light orange. And we sat there until the moon rose and we took off running again, howling as we ran. It was the most exciting night of my life!

So Lealie's friend has decided to join them! How awesome! Now lets see what will happen next! Will they gain more friends? Will they meet Sai again? And what will happen with Lealie and Sadiki? Keep reading to find out!
