A/N: Hello dear readers. I want to say thank you for the reviews as of late. It's nice to hear from some of you.

I will not be posting for a while to any of my stories. I'm going on vacation this week and I probably won't be writing so, I'm just going to leave this here for now.

Enjoy!

Jiro and Sana sat beside one another by the pond deciding to take one more day to themselves before they went to the compound.

"You are not uneasy being here anymore Jiro?" Sana asked to make sure he was alright.

"No. I just don't want you out of my sight while we're here but otherwise I am." He smirked at her which she returned.

"We should go to the cave before we return." She said after some moments of quiet had passed between them.

"You read my mind." Leaning towards her she wrapped her arm around her shoulders as he rested his head against her.

"It was so difficult to be so close to you all of the time but having to be distanced. Being there reminded me how miserable I was in the celestial palace."

"I missed you too." She replied. "Jiro, there are some things I want to tell you. I know how you will react to one but not the other."

"What is it?" He asked moving his head to look at her. Sana dropped her arm and turned to face him.

"I have no idea how to say this so I guess the best way to say it is…outright." She began. "My name is not Sana. I cannot remember what my name is. Sana was the only name I could think of to give everyone."

"Hm." Jiro hummed out sounding interested in what she had said. "Is it a name you came up with off the top of your head?"

"No. Sana was my friend. I know we were taken by the ogres around the same time. I think I left her there when I escaped but I don't remember." She said. "I feel as if I have been lying to everyone after I was taken in so openly within the pack."

"Sunflower, I will not pretend to be able to understand what you had to go through before you came here. You never lied to any of us; you were hurt and scared, that I do know what is like.

"Regardless of who you were before now you are Lady Sana, my mate and my love." Jiro looked at her sincerely with all of the understanding in the world.

"Thank you. I have been so terrified to tell you I was worried you would…you wouldn't want to be with me anymore."

"If I rejected you because of the fact that you forgot your name after what happened I would be unworthy of you." Jiro said. "You know, Nen and I named ourselves…we decided what to call one another."

"Really?" Sana asked now she being the one interested.

"Yes. We have no idea if we had names that our parents called us, that we cannot remember. The only thing I know for certain is we saw our mother and father be killed before we were taken by a captain of some guard and…trained." Jiro replied.

"I like Jiro. It is a very nice name and it suits you." Reaching out towards him he took her hand bringing it to his lips.

"And I love Sana, all of you." Kissing her hand she felt a relief lift from her.

"Now, what was the second thing?" Jiro pressed.

"I was thinking when we were in the east, while I was taking care of the pups, about how much I enjoy watching after them. It had me begin to think about having one of our own by next spring. I want to give birth in the spring."

"Do not tease me." Jiro said softly keeping his composure even though he wanted to jump up with happiness.

"I'm not." She smiled at him. "Which would mean we would need to start trying soon."

"We can start today." He replied moving closer to her.

"We should tell the others so that way we can have their support and be able to take our time." Sana suggested placing her hands to his chest as he nuzzled her neck with his nose.

"Practice then." He growled out licking up her neck. Shuddering Sana gasped at the chill it sent down her spine.

"Let's go to the cave." She managed out. In a moment Jiro had her in his arms making her giggle at the suddenness of it.

Looking up at him as he gazed back at her she placed her hand to his cheek. "I love you. Thank you for being mine."

"You are everything to me. No word can ever describe the depth of my feelings for you." Jiro said.

Resting her head against him she closed her eyes feeling the wonderful safety and security he had always brought to her.
