Previously, on Kouji and the Wolf girl:
Kouji went to Alaska to write a research paper for his 11th grade assignment. When he gets there he finds himself staying in a cozy little cabin. He runs outside and sees a white wolf. The white wolf runs and causes Kouji to think about it all night until he finally falls asleep coming to the conclusion to search for it tomorrow after going to town to see if someone can guide him around the slushy hills and what-not.
Chapter 2:
Boy meets Girl, Girl meets Boy!
Beep! Beep! The alarm clock went. Kouji was deep underneath the thick cotton covers, his head under the big white fluffy pillow. He groaned and reached up one of his hands and hit the alarm once, then twice, shutting it off. He laid in his bed for a while before actually getting up. When he finally did get up, he stretched by crossing his arms behind his head, pulling both arms with opposite hands. He walked into the next room which was the bathroom and turned the water on in the shower, letting it run for a bit so that it could get hot. At the moment he had a white beader on and black shorts. He got undressed and took a shower.
When he was done he dried off, he went into his bedroom. He got dressed and seen it was 10:00. 30 minutes after he set his alarm clock. He was to meet his guide at 11:00 clock. This time he wore a navy blue shirt with a white shirt underneath, (same style as yesterday) with his coat on top. His coat was a zip-up. He put his raven colored hair back in it's usual ponytail, with his blue and brown striped bandana over his head. He put on blackish grey baggy pants and put his shoes and socks on before he went down into the living room, then into his kitchen. He made himself some eggs and toast with a glass of milk. He ate it in the living room while listening to music as usual.
When he was done it was 10:40. He still had twenty minutes to get to town. Before he left, he went underneath the staircase where there was a little door. He opened it and looked inside. It was empty except for a box in the back. He got down on his knees and grabbed the small hand-sized box and opened it. It was his money he had received for the trip. More than 400 dollars for food, supplies and stuff like that. He got a couple dollars for his guide and stuck it in his pants pocket.
He shut his music off and ran out the door. He stopped on the porch and looked at the trail that went down hill, it was a long trail that took about 15 minutes to get to town. He also seen the huskies were sleep and slush was forming into sleet. Some of it had turned to ice already. He looked at the trees and the bareness still made everything look beautiful. The landscape held purplish blue mountains around in the background, with white trees that had blackish grey stripes on them, the areas a bit green here and their, but mostly covered with a whitish glowing glow. Kouji had to look away for it put him in a trance, the cool crisp air making it more irresistible. Kouji began to walk towards town.
He looked around at the landscape around him. As in his hometown, he could not because it was nothing but cars, trains, subways, crowds of people and concrete grounds. To him this was like a paradise place, a peaceful place which for him he really enjoyed to be in. Kouji could see his breath as he breathed in and breathed out the cold air, he walked on for a long time seeing pine trees and squirrels every now and then. After a while of nonstop walking, he came close to the town and walked onto the road without knowing it!
He was looking around when suddenly he seen dogs pulling sleds with people riding on the backs of them. He didn't notice the one coming in behind him in time. He turned around eyes widened when he heard the barking of dogs close by him! Just then, a hand grabbed him by the sleeve of the coat and jerked him out of the way! Kouji staggered a bit, but regained his balance, looking at the dogsled that almost ran him over. It had all huskies. The lead dog was black and white with green eyes. The two in back of it were brown and white, but with different designs, both brown eyes. The next two were different colors. One was grey and white with blue eyes, while the other was all white grey eyes. The last two were two powerful looking dogs. One was a golden color with a white mast and underbelly and brown eyes while the other was light brown with black markings on its face and back. It had a black tipped tail and paws. It had brown eyes.
"Watch it kid, you could've gotten ran over" A calm kind sounding voice said. Kouji turned around and looked behind him, to see a girl.
The girl was about two inches smaller than him. She had long dark brown hair that went down half her back with bangs and teal colored eyes. She wore a white shirt that showed she was a skinny girl, with a black coat on that was halfway zipped up, and light blue vanity jeans. She also wore white ecko unlimited shoes with a green camouflage design around the backs of the shoes. She had a clean face that had slanted native American eyes. She had thin pretty eyebrows and light brown skin. She had thin lips and straight white teeth. She had average cheekbones and a black NY hat she was wearing that gave her a bit of a gangster look. She had soft slender hands with perfect nails. She was still wondering what Kouji was doing out there.
"Sorry, I didn't know that was a road" He said in his calm casual tone. The girl sighed and looked at him, blinking once before asking, "Are you that boy that was suppose to come here and do research on wolves?"
"Yeah" He said in a curious tone. She extended her hand out to him. "Hi, my name is Mamori, no last name, just Mamori, umm…how old are you?" She asked curiously. He blinked and replied,
"My names Kouji Minamoto, and what about you? Shouldn't you tell me your age first?" He said. Mamori smiled.
"I'll let you know, I'm sure you're the same age as me though." She said as she grabbed his arm and took him over to the other side of town which took less than a couple of minutes to reach.
Kouji stopped pulling his hand away making the girl stop and look back. "Who are you? And, where are we going?" Kouji asked. Mamori smiled.
"I'm your guide, and we're going to the forest to find some wolves for your research." Mamori said in a friendly, but not spunky tone.
Kouji followed with a frown on his face, but he raised an eyebrow instead of furrowing them into an angry look.
After about an hour of walking, they were inside the think dense parts of the timber. Kouji looked around, but was hurried along as it was hard to keep up with this girl. They suddenly came to a huge log that went across a cold rushing river. "Come on!" Mamori yelled over the rushing water. She walked so easily over the log it looked as though she was running on regular ground, she didn't even seem to be caring about the bottomless ness of the river. Kouji was a bit shaky as he neared the log. Mamori was halfway over it, but was only waiting for Kouji to come. He put a foot on the log and jumped up, leaning back a bit to keep from falling. He leaned from side to side trying to keep a steady balance, but Kouji leaned too far and fell! "Kouji!" Mamori yelled! Kouji fell into the cold water below, he let out a cry for help!
Without any hesitation, Mamori had leaped off the log and dived in towards the river. She dove into the watery whirlwind below, making a big splash right after Kouji did. She swam towards Kouji. She seen he lost conscious and go under, she took in a deep breathe and dove underneath the water. She swam down towards the sinking Kouji and put her arm around his ribcage and going back up towards the surface. After a few moments, she found herself holding onto Kouji and swimming towards the bank. "Hold on!" she yelled. Kouji was bobbing up and down, but Mamori kept his head above water.
Mamori pulled Kouji onto land and started CPR on him. After a few times, he coughed up water and was breathing again, although he was still knocked out. Mamori seen it was getting dark out. She grabbed Kouji and carried him on her back, taking him to a secret cave she only knew about. "Winter is coming soon…" Mamori could smell it in the air. A blizzard was going to happened tonight.
She came to her cave and walked inside. She laid Kouji down on the ground and luckily, she stashed blankets and firewood in her cave. She made a bed for Kouji and covered him in the warmest blankets. "If he is exposed to cold winds any longer, he could freeze to death, the water not being of any help at all..." Mamori was saying her head. She started a fire and looked around. She didn't see anyone and so transformed into a white wolf! She layed down by Kouji and used her fur to keep him warm, as blankets wouldn't really work unless there is a lot of heat around it.
After a couple of hours, she heard him groan. She stood up and looked at him. Kouji's vision was blurry. He looked up at Mamori, only to see a white face, a wolf's face. He rubbed his eyes, focusing more, but only seen Mamori sitting on her knees by him, looking at him. "Are you ok?" She asked while giving him a cup of warm water. He sat up and took the cup while saying thank you and drinking it. He flinched a bit, from the yucky taste. "It's a special medicinal blend of herbs to prevent getting a cold and such. Sorry if it tastes bad" She said with a small chuckle at the last part. Kouji nodded and drank a little more. He put the cup down and felt his clothes were a bit wet, but seen his coat and navy blue shirt were drying while he was only wearing his white shirt and pants. His socks and shoes were being dryed. Mamori got up and walked over to his coat and shirt. "Here, these should be dry" She threw him his shirt and coat. He felt his clothes were dry. Kouji already forgot she was there and started to take his shirt off! Mamori gasped and covered her eyes, looking away. Kouji looked over to her, then finally seen what he was doing and quickly changed. "Sorry" Mamori said. "no it's my fault, I should've warned you" He said. Mamori's face turned a bit red. Kouji's did too.
"It's going to snow tonight, so We should probably stay here" Mamori said while going into the cave more, as there was a built in wall that formed two small caves inside of them. "You're bed is in there, its all set up and stuff, I'll put the fire out, ok?" Mamori said as she grabbed her clothes from the rack. She had changed when she got into the cave.
Kouji nodded and got up. He stood up and went into the room. The floor was cold on his feet even though he had put his socks on. He would've put his shoes on, but they weren't dry, so he left them outside. Mamori watched as Kouji disappeared behind the cave wall and into the room. She watched the fire for a bit longer. When she was done, she went to her own room, but she left her shoes out there also. She layed down on the comfy bed, as so did Kouji. Little did both know, there heads were facing the same wall that divided their rooms. Mamori and Kouji had suddenly heard a whooshing outside and knew the blizzard had begun. She closed her eyes, Kouji did too and both the kids had fallen to sleep.
