"Wait, Weed!" I called after the silvery-blue Akita yearling, who stopped to face me. "Do you mind if I talk to you for a little moment?"
"Of course, Tamashi." Weed allowed the offer with a smile. "Do you want to go inside Gajou?"
"Yes," I said, following him into Gajou until we came to one of the "rooms". After finding that we were both alone, I sat down on my haunches and staring at Weed with an expression of seriousness.
"Weed," I told him, "I've heard from Jerome, your friends, and father about what you have done to gain your place as Leader of the entire Ohu pack. I've heard about your mercy. And, after following your ideals of peace and mercy, after following in your steps of what you would do if you were in the situations that I was with Hakuro's sons, after showing mercy towards the vicious Shepherd pack and asking them to join the Ohu army, I finally realize that all you want is peace in any way you can get it."
"What are you saying, Tamashi?" Weed asked curiously.
"I'm saying," I explained, "that in my eyes you're pretty much like an innocent angel. Even when you didn't even know me, you were kind and gentle enough to allow me into staying with you and your pack. You were kind, gentle, and understanding. And, sometimes, those are much better qualities than just being fearless and brave."
Weed smiled with joy and bowed his head. "I'm glad I could be your 'savior', Tamashi."
"And," I added, "if you want, since you don't have a mother anymore, I can be your mother. I'll accept your wishes, your dreams for peace, and your morals. I'll protect you with my life, guarding you from any sort of evil that happens to come our way. And with you, being a young, strong, brave, quick, and clever dog, I'll accept you as not only my son but also my teacher, in case if you ever want to show me some more attacks."
To my great excitement and joy, I watched as Weed smiled and walked up to me, nuzzling my chest with his snout. "I'll happily accept your offer, Tamashi."
AWESOME! So what do you guys think? Is it getting better so far?
