A/N from A.C.: B'aww. SaiZex bit~

Running, running through the woods. Quick, hurry, go as fast as you can…

"You cannot escape from me…"

Faster, faster! "Leave me alone!" Dodging the trees in the woods. Hurry! "Please don't hurt me!"

"Come back to me… I want you… I'm hungry…"

"Please! No!"

Zexion gasped, sitting upright in his spot. He wiped the sweat from his brow with the back of his hand and looked over to Saix. The boy crawled over to the wolf, watching as his chest rose and fell in his sleep. He reached out to touch the werewolf's shoulder and was amazed at how soft the fur felt between his fingers.

Saix snarled, rolling over in his bed of hay. Zexion quickly pulled his hand back, not wanting to be bitten. "S- Saix..?"

The wolf had stopped moving when his back was to the human. "Go back to sleep, Zexion…"

"I didn't mean to wake you… I'm sorry."

"Do not apologize. It shows weakness."

"Oh… Okay…"

The wolf rolled on his back and sat up, the bear skin pooling around his waist. "Why did you wake me up..?"

"I- I had a bad dream… Sorry…" Zexion muttered, a faint blush sneaking across his cheeks.

"It is fine… Time to get up anyway."

"Oh.."

Moving so he was on all fours, Saix stretched out. He leaned so his chest was to the floor, his arms were out in front of him and his ass was in the air. The wolf yawned cavernously and stood up on his back two paws, leaning back to crack his back. "Mmn… I need to go check on Nero… I hope he took my damn advice for once."

Zexion looked at Saix – being sure to keep his eyes above waist level – and asked, "What could have happened if he didn't?"

"He could be dead right now for all I know… I sure hope not…"

"Dead?"

The blunette nodded, "If he stood up to Xemnas like I think he did… I am sure that bastard would have killed him…" He sighed, "Zexion, please… Do not go near Xemnas. I do not want to see you get hurt."

"Oh, please… You wouldn't care if I was dead. Deep down, you probably want to kill me, just like all the rest of you werewolves."

Saix looked to the human with narrowed eyes, "What? Are you kidding me, Zexion? You still think I am like them? After everything I have done for you?"

"You're just like them…"

"Shut your damn mouth! I have been treating you well!" The wolf snarled, "I have been taking care of you! You said you did not want to go back to your human town!"

"I should though…"

"If you think that, then leave!" Saix shouted, making tight fists with his hands. "If you think you should go back to that place then go!"

"I…"

"What? You what?"

"I don't want to leave you…"

"Oh? Why not? According to you, I am nothing but a savage wolf, just like the others."

"I- I didn't mean that! Please don't send me back!"

The wolf sighed, "I will not… But you must stay here… I am going to check on Nero."

"Okay… Be careful…"

Saix nodded, "I will."
