Chapter 4: Reunion

This is what happened when Kouga caught up with Ayame.

Kouga

I made it. Her scent had been getting stronger for two days now. Now all I have to do is find her and bring her home. If all goes as planned we'll be back with the pack in three weeks.

He'd kept running while lost in thought and had accidentally run into something. A very soft, very familiar, something.

"Ugh..would you mind?I'm trying to walk here." She said getting up and dusting herself off. How his scent had escaped her notice he didn't know but he knew instantly the moment she recognized it. Her head shot up and her eyes betrayed her shock at seeing him there. Had she really thought he wouldn't search for her?Did she have such a low opinion of him?

Then her next words proved to him that she did in fact think that lowly of him?

" What are you doing here?"

She sounded so cold and while looking in her eyes you could not see a speck of emotion. Had she really changed that much in these few months. She used to be what humans would refer to as an open book.

" Heeeeeelllllo, I said what are you doing here?"

"I…..cccame tttto gget yo-u."Oh yeah smooth move Kouga you really managed to impress her there. And by the looks of it she was having the same thouhgt.

" You came to what?" She said crossing her arms above her torso.

"I came to bring you back." But this statement did not generate the desired response.

In fact, no joy, no giddiness, no clinginess, no tears and no anger. In reality all he got was silence. And then laughter. Laughter, could you believe it? Happiness he would have welcomed, tears he would have handled. Hell if push came to shove he would've gladly taken anger. But laughter he had not expected it had not made it on his mental list of possible scenarios. How the hell was he supposed to deal with laughter.

By this point she had stopped and was looking at him. And just before he was able to utter a word she said:

"Good luck with that but you must be planning on taking someone else because the person that is standing right in front of you will not be going with you anywhere." With that said she turned around and disappeared behind a hut.

His mind tried to get him to go after her but his body wouldn't budge and after a few minutes of struggling he decided it was best to think about things. Only he knew how much trouble he had gotten in because of not thinking things through.

He was a wolf demon and by nature or instinct, whatever you want to call it, all he could think of was grabbing her, throwing her over his shoulder and hauling her all the way back to the wolf pack. But with that scenario playing in his brain he soon realized it was not the best way to go. She would indubitably kick and scream and that would slow him down. Not to mention, that knowing her she would probably try and escape any time he stopped to rest. And even though his endurance and stamina were great beyond compare even he did not possess the reserves to run with a struggling one-hundred and something pound female over his shoulder.

It would probably take years to get back and he couldn't wait that long to start sharing his life with her again.

So, what to do? What to do? What to do?

He would stay and try to get her back. NO, not try he WOULD get her back. She was his woman and no matter what happened he was not going to let her get away again because of his stupidity.

" Get ready, Ayame. Because I will do everything within my reach to bring you back willingly and I will never give up." With that he turned around and walked back to the forest. Sitting down with his back against a tree he began to devise a way to get her back.

But try as he might his mind kept repeating over and over her reactions and the fact that she seemed to think she wasn't his anymore.

I apologize again for not updating even though I said I would. My only excuse is that I cannot for the life of me write at will I have to be inspired and sadly inspiration doesn't come knocking on my door when I feel like it. Bear with me. I hope you all like it but please remember I need to know why you do or why you don't I can't write anything good if I don't get feedback.

XOXO
