I looked down at him, at first I felt like punching myself to death. He would not have gotten hurt if I had not said those things to him. He could still be safe and carefree. Now he looked like a bird who just had its wings clipped. I knelt down in front of him, examining his wounds. Toboe lay still, not moving an inch. Then he embraced me, holding on to me. He cried, his crying made my heart drop to my legs. I slowly put my arms around him.
"Toboe, I am sorry, it is my fault you are like this," I said stroking Toboe's hair, trying to calm him down. He stopped his crying for a second.
"I accept you apology," he replied, resting his on my shoulder.
"Its just...I have never had someone tell me they loved me before and I didn't know how to react. I am glad that you feel that way about me, Toboe," I said. It was all I could really say although my heart was urging me to say more. Toboe nodded and I said something that never thought would come out of my lips. "Toboe...I have feelings for you too."
He looked up at me, wide-eyed in surprise. I nodded to him, wiping the tears from his eyes gently with one finger. "You told me last night that you felt happy and protected around me, well I feel the same. I just didn't know how to express it last night." Before I would let him reply, I kissed him. He kissed back which made me feel so happy inside. These emotions that I was feeling now were strange but at the same time peaceful. We stopped the kiss, taking time to breath. I then tended to his wounds. Once that was done I got up and looked down at him.
"Lets head back, Kiba and Hige are probably worried," I said to him with a smile. He nodded, returning the smile and I helped him up.
Once we got back, Kiba was the first to greet us. Noticing Toboe's wounds, I explained to Kiba what had happened. He smiled at me and then tended to Toboe's wounds, seeing if the bandages were holding out.
"Well, lets go on, we have long journey ahead of us," Kiba said as he put his hands in his pockets and started to walk. Porky followed, complaining as usual . I walked next to Toboe and he lookedat me, smiling. I grinned and he took my hand in his. This kid amazed me, how he was able to make me show such hidden emotions. I loved him for that, because he was such a pure-hearted wolf.
