The next morning, Koda was still sleeping while Kenai was resting at his right side and Denahi on his left side, the older ones have hugged Koda for all the night and now they were waking up.

"Morning Kenai"

"Morning Denahi"

"Bad news, the rest is over; today we have to start our normal chores"

"It´s had been a week already?"

"I´m afraid so"

"Do you know if Mia or Takashi can take care of Koda while we are working?"

"No, but I´ll ask them"

"I will" Kenai "I need a walk"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, if Koda woke up, tell him that I´ll be back soon"

"Go, I´m sure he´s tired of seen your horrible face all the mornings"

Kenai smiled and put on his feet.

"Go and come" Kenai.

"Okay"

Kenai leaved the tent and Denahi close his eyes trying to get at least five more minutes of sleep, but unfortunately, it wasn´t so much time for Koda to wake up.

"Denahi" said the small kid.

"Oh, you´re awaken"

"Where´s Kenai?" asked Koda as he looked around trying to find Kenai.

"He took a walk, but don´t worry, he´ll be back soon"

"Okay"

There was a moment of silence until Koda broke it up.

"Denahi, can I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"When we were on the mountain where the lights touched the earth, you said that no matter what happened, Kenai was always going to be your little brother right?"

"Right"

"So, I was wondering, I´m always going to be your little brother too?"

Denahi was stunned by Koda´s question, he looked at his little brother to the eyes, and he saw love and curiosity, he really wanted to know the answer, so, Denahi smiled and hugged Koda.

"We are brothers forever Koda, you, me, Kenai and Sitka, no matter what happens, so that answers your question?"

Koda nodded with the head and smiled, Denahi then put him into a headlock, and Koda laughed, then he release him.

"Now, want some breakfast?"

"Yes, that sounds good"

...

Kenai joined his two brothers while they were eating, Denahi puted a plate full of in front of Kenai, he said "Thanks" and then he start eating.

Once they were done, they leaved the tent.

"And what do you guys want to do today?"

"Em actually, today we have work to do" Denahi.

Koda turned to see his two older brothers.

"Work"

"Yes, so, today Mia´s gonna take care of you" Kenai "Until we get back on the night"

"And then what?"

"Kenai you forgot to tell him that we have a break to eat" Denahi.

"Ups, sorry" Kenai.

"It will be too long" Koda.

"We hope don´t" Denahi.

"Okay, but I do hope isn´t too long" Koda.

"We´ll be back soon" Kenai "I promise"

...

Denahi and Kenai leaved Koda with Mia, who was the only one with a free day, since Takashi had also work to do, Koda was sad because his brothers were have to leave for almost all the day, but at least Mia was happy at the fact she had to take care of Koda, she liked the little kid a lot.

"Don´t worry" Mia "He´s on good hands"

"We know that" Denahi.

"See you real soon hairball" added Kenai as he rubbed Koda´s head.

"Go, nobady´s gonna miss you bear-boy"

Kenai smiled at Koda and gently hit him on his arm.

Then he and Kenai walked away.

"So" Mia "How are you Koda?"

"I´m fine, thanks"

"Already used to human life?"

"More less, I now know how to control my human body, and Kenai and Denahi are teaching me to start a fire, even if it´s still scary for me"

"I´ll tell you a secret, I´m also scare of fire"

"Really"

"Yes, I don´t know when something can get out of control and creat a chaos, so I don´t like been close to fire, even when it´s really cold"

"Cold, yes, that remiend me, how the humans hibernate?"

Mia looked at Koda with fun on his eyes.

"Koda, humans do not hibernate"

Koda blinked his eyes.

"Humans don´t hibernate?"

"No we don´t" Mia.

"And don´t you eat a lot before the winter"

"No, we don´t have the necessity to win weight"

"And what humans do exactly?"

"During winter we don´t go on hunting, we stay on the village all the time, we have to collect all the food we can, it´s a nice time because the family is reunited and parent´s can spend time with their kids, and brothers and sisters also, but it´s also hard because of the cold, for example, if a storm comes, a really bad one, more than one tent can fly away leaving the family alone against the cold, or if someone gets lost, in the night can ended frozen, so he have to be careful"

Koda nodded with the head.

"You think I could make it"

"Of course, Kenai, Denahi, Takashi and I were going to take care of you, you don´t have any worrie"

Koda sighed in relieve.

"It´s a nice time of the year do, it will be fun" said Mia.

"I trust you"

Mia smiled and Koda smiled back.

"So, what do you want to do today?" asked Mia.

"I´ve been very interested in see how that canoe´s things works"

"Great, I can teach you that"

"Awsome, let´s go"

...

Mia and Kenai were playing with other children of the village waiting that Sitka, Denahi and Takashi returned from his hunting party, next year Kenai will be on his first hunt party and Mia will have to wait two years more.

"I hope they come back soon" Mia said.

"I can´t wait for me to go on a hunting!" said Kenai lifting a branch, then he started to play with it like if the branch was really a spear, then he pointed with it to Mia "You´re a caribou Mia and I´m going to hunt you!"

"Oh no Kenai please don´t hunt me!" Mia said laughing and then Kenai started to chase her until their older borthers arrived to the land.

"They´re back!" Mia yelled.

"Yeah" Kenai.

Then the two of them runned to they older ones who were putting the fish on baskets.

Mia hugged Takashi.

"Hi, did you miss me little girl?"

"I did, I´m glad your back"

As for Kenai, he give Sitka a hug and to Denahi, he only said "Hi" as well as the second older brother.

"Come on you two, I know both of you missed the other one" Sitka.

Kenai and Denahi looked each other, and then they give up and shared a hug.

"That´s more I like it" Sitka.

...

"I can´t do this!" Kenai said as he sticked his spear into the ground, he and Denahi were on a hunting, it was their first and only work of the day, but since the begining Kenai seemed sad and upset.

Denahi turned back to see his younger brother, Kenai then sited down on a rock.

"What´s wrong?" asked Denahi.

"This... This the kind of thing we use to do with Sitka, but now he´s gone"

Denahi noticed tears on Kenai´s eyes, so he sit down next to his little brother and putted a hand on his shoulder.

"I know it´s hard Kenai, I miss him too, but remember, he´s still here with us, even if we don´t see him, he,mom and dad never really leaved us, and remember, we maybe lost Sitka, but we won a little brother, Koda, he need us, and we need him, I wasn´t sure at the begining,but now, I just love that little hairball"

He and Kenai laughed.

"Now, we need to get food to the village, so, let´s move" Denahi

He helped Kenai to get on his feet, Kenai pick it up his spear, before they start walking again, Denahi added.

"And Kenai, remember, I´m still here with you, so, if you feel sad or you need someone to talk, just tell me, and remember that I love you"

Kenai looked at his brother.

"I love you too Denahi, and thanks for be here, with me"

"Always Kenai, always"

They hugged one again, and then they return to the hunting.

...

Mia showed Koda the canoes when Tanana came over.

"Hi Mia, good morning Koda"

"Hello Tanana" Mia.

"Hi" Koda

"It´s a beautiful day isn´t it?" Tanana

"It is" Mia "Sun rising and birds singing, just how I like it"

"Like me, and Mia, do you mind if I ask Koda some questions?" Tanana

"Oh no I don´t have any problem"

"What kind of questions Tanana?" Koda

"Oh, just easy things, like, bears watch things in colour or black and white?"

"Easy, colour, only dogs watch things in black and white" Koda

"I see, and the hibernation process is easy for you?"

"Yes, it´s only a long sleep, you don´t even notice it"

"Oh I see, and one last question, was Kenai a good bear?"

"No he wasn´t, I have to help him every five minutes, but I think that with time he could be a really good bear"

"I see, thanks Koda, I was really interested in bears life"

"No problem Tanana, I like to talk about bears"

"Perfect, and for you Mia, do you want to help us with this year decoration?"

"Decoration?" Koda

"Yes, on winter we like to decorate things" Mia "Once it´s done, it looks really beautiful, trust me"

"Okay, I trust you" Koda.

"Oh, yes Tanana, I will love to help with decoration"

"Perfect my dear, we start tomorrow" Tanana.

"I´ll be there s soon as can"

...

One hour later, Kenai and Denahi were back on the village with a moose, not Rutt and Tuke, for the brothers it was difficult, because they still could understand animals, so they did it the fastest and less painful way they could, but now they were happy because they were seen Koda again.

They reached him on their tent, Koda was on his bed playing with a toy, when he saw Kenai he runned to hug him.

"Hello, did you miss me hairball?"

"No" said Koda breaking the hug "I didn´t miss you at all bear-boy"

"Oh really?" Kenai, then he started to tickle Koda, the little one laughed and twisted from the laugh on his bed.

"No! Kenai please stop!"

"Did you miss me?" Kenai asked again.

"Yes, I miss you!" Koda confessed "I miss you and Denahi, now let me go!"

Kenai released his little brother.

"That´s more like I like it"

Koda laughed and hugged Kenai, Denahi rolled his eyes, but in the end he joined in the hug.

Hi guys, I only want to thank you for your support on this story, I love you guys I really do, and just want to ask you, would you like a sequel to this story? If you do, it will be based on another fic of mine called The Hate that Blinde which is also a sequel to another fic in which Koda also becomes a human but is on spanish, anyway, the fic will have some changes to fit this universe and it will be a little darker than this one, but still been a story about love between brothers, so, what do you think would you like it?
