Previously, on Kouji and the Wolf girl:

Kouji went into town to look for a Guide. He found out that a girl named Mamori was to be his guide. They left and went into the forest where Kouji had slipped and fell into the water by loosing his balance on the slippery log. Mamori had jumped into the water below and saved Kouji. She took him to a cave and set him down, while drying his stuff. Kouji woke up, seeing a white wolf's face, but rubbed his eyes only to see Mamori there. She had given him an herbal medicine to prevent any sicknesses and they both went to sleep as the blizzard had begun…

Chapter 3:

The Bear of the Blizzard!

Boom! A loud noise was heard outside, waking Kouji. He sat up and looked around, then towards the entrance of the cave. He threw the covers up and swung his legs over to the side. He stood up and walked outside. He found his shoes had miraculously dried quickly. He slipped them on and went over to Mamori to see if she heard the large boom. He saw snow blowing in through the entrance, so zipped his coat up. He walked over to Mamori's cave-dwelling and looked from side to side, as he felt like he was being watched. He looked behind him, but only seen the rocky ceiling and brown dirt of the cave. He came to the corner which turned into Mamori's room and walked over to it.

"Hey Mamori did you…huh?" He looked around, but seen no Mamori. He looked towards the cave entrance and walked towards it. He looked around in the dark cave to try and see if she was just hiding or something, but he saw nothing but the darkness that fell upon the cave. Although, there was some light that made it glow. A strange white crystal was reflecting light along the top of the cave, making a dim shallow glow appear inside. Kouji walked outside into the blizzard.

"Mamori!" Kouji yelled, but there was no answer. He put an arm up to block the gusting winds that were filled with flying white snowflakes that felt like little stings as they sometimes hit his face when they got past his arm. "Mamori!" Kouji yelled again, and again, but there was no answer still. "Where is she?" He wondered while trying to peer through the white gusts of wind. Suddenly, he saw something that was dark and looked like a shadowy figure. He put his arm down, letting the wind hit him, his hair blowing wildly around as the wind seem to howl a terrible roar. He stopped when he heard snow crushing behind him.

Kouji was about to turn around when he felt a warm breathe, breathing down his neck. He was frozen, he couldn't move.

Kouji turned around, looking into the face of a huge black bear. It's glowing red, piercing eyes, burned into his. Kouji was shocked, his eyes showing mostly white as fear

engulfed his frozen body, his mouth was halfway open, he couldn't scream, or run, all he could do was stand there. The bear rose up on it's hind legs.

"Come on Kouji…move!" He was yelling in his head, but his legs weren't moving. The bear let out a large piercing roar and hit Kouji with its gigantic paw that was like 5 times the size of Kouji. Kouji yelled out in pain as pain shot through his arm like a thousand knives! The bear let out another loud roar, breathe, white and misty as it roared. Kouji struggled, using his legs to push himself backwards away from the bear, his right arm being of no use. He seen blood was trickling down his arm, from the large bear's claws, but was too scared to feel the pain. He seen the bear walking towards him it hit him numerous of times, before Kouji fell to the ground, badly hurt, his coat was ripped up by the claws of the black bear. A small stream of blood came down the left corner of his mouth, as he was laying on his back, still frightened by the bear. When it got close enough it rose up, and threw a gigantic paw in the air, getting ready to hit him again.

Kouji was breathing hard as he slowly opened his eyes, his life flashing before his eyes. He was weakened greatly by the loss of blood. He knew his life was over as the bear rose its paw up. When the bear started swinging downwards towards Kouji, the bear let out a roar of intense pain! Kouji opened his eyes and looked up to see the same white wolf again! He layed his head down not able to keep it up anymore, but still watched from the ground, as he watched the gigantic bear and small wolf start to fight.

The wolf had bitten down on its ear and pulled up, making the bear lose its aim on Kouji! The bear swung at the wolf with its mighty paw, but missed as she jumped off! The wolf landed in front of Kouji and growled at the giant bear, its fur puffing up, its tail becoming like a bush. It bared its sharp knife like fangs at the bear. It roared right back at the wolf though, baring sharp fangs also. The wolf got low to the ground waiting for it to attack. The bear ran at her, but she ran to the side and bit down on its large ribcage, tearing at its thick hide. The bear roared and bit down on the wolf's leg, swinging it down at the ground! The wolf shook its head and rolled out of the way before being clobbered by its paws that stomped down on the ground! She got back up swiftly and titled her head, making her fangs go in a certain angle, before she jumped at the bear and cut its chest! She landed on the ground and ran back in front of Kouji baring its fangs still.

Kouji watched as each wild animal went 1 on 1, fighting, blood being spilt on the ground from the cuts, but the blood was mixing in with the snow, making it a pinkish color. The snow around them flurrying wildly around as they fought. Kouji was astonished that this small wolf was able to take on a 20 ft tall bear. He shakily rolled onto his side, wiping the blood off of his mouth. He felt his vision going blurry, the more he moved. He did not want to die, not here, not now. He was scared, really scared. He wanted to go back to school, he wanted to meet his friends again, he wanted to get learn more about Mamori, and the forest of Alaska. He fought to stay awake, but it was all leading to a downfall as he fell unconscious.

The bear stood up one last time, but this time it was different. This time, Mamori went for it's neck! She jumped into the air outstretching her claw more and opening her mouth to show off even more fangs! She bit down on the bear's neck, making it fall backwards hitting its back on the icy/snowy ground, sliding a few feet. Mamori jumped off as it rolled onto its stomach and shot off into the forest, disappearing away from them. Mamori spit up the blood from the bear and licked her fangs, cleaning the rest of the iron-tasting liquid off of her gums and fangs. She was breathing hard.

Mamori had small series of cuts on her body, but nothing serious. Her ears twitched when she heard a groan. She turned around and gasped, seeing kouji was laying on the ground unconscious! She ran over to him and looked him over. She seen he had a broken arm and deep wounds on his body, something she could'nt take care of. She laid down on her side, back facing towards kouji, she grabbed his arm and pulled him onto her back. She stood up and got him in a position so she could run. She licked his hand, reassuring he would be ok just as long as his heart didn't stop.

She sprinted off through the thick blizzard and slushy snow. She went through twists and turns, bends and small hills as she seen the log up ahead where Kouji had fell into before. She growled and curled her claws, digging into the ground running even faster and faster until! She jumped over the river! She felt Kouji slipping, so grabbed his arm again, making sure she would catch him if he fell off. She caught onto the edge, but felt Kouji falling, so dragged him up onto the edge and got up her self, a bit struggling as she didn't have hands to grip onto the rocky sides. She got up and picked Kouji back up, taking off again.

After about an hour, she reached the town and transformed again. She carried Kouji in a piggyback way and walked over to the hospital. "Open up! It's an emergency!" She yelled as she banged on the door. Her knocks were loud and hard, until she seen a light flicker on inside. The door look was being turned and made small scratchy sounds as it was being turned. As Mamori waited, she shifted Kouji to the other side of her shoulder as he was falling off. The door handle screeched a bit and the door squeaked open. A woman stood in the doorway. She wore a white uniform with the red cross on her doctors hat. She had blonde hair and blue eyes with the high cheekbones and glossy red lipstick. The woman had a few wrinkles on her face from old age. Her eyelash makeup was thick and clumpy looking, but all and all, the woman was a very nice person. Mamori knew because the woman use to tend to her wounds when she was young.

The gasped when she seen Kouji was badly hurt. "Oh come in come in!" She said as she shut the door behind them, closing the wind off of Mamori and Kouji for the first time since the blizzard started. Mamori was asked to stay in the waiting room as many nurses and doctors rushed in and out, carrying supplies and such. It made Mamori nervous, and scared.

"I knew I should of stayed by the cave, I knew the bear was going towards the place, I'm so stupid!" Mamori was yelling in her head.

After about three hours, the Woman doctor came in the waiting room, making Mamori jumped up. "Is he?" Mamori asked in a scared tone. "He's going to be just fine" The woman said finishing her sentence. "But what were you two doing in the forest at this time of night?" asked the woman in a concerned tone.

Mamori sighed and told the woman that Kouji was a researcher. The woman listened intently then finally nodded. "Ok, but always remember to stay close to your person your guiding, you are after all, the girl that knows everything about this forest." said the woman. Mamori nodded and apologized. The woman started to walk away,

"will he be alright?" Mamori's last words to her were. She stopped and turned around with a smile on her face. "He will be just fine, don't worry, he should be able to go home tomorrow, and he will be able to travel in a couple of weeks, so be sure to go up and check on him at home every now any then ok mamori?" The woman asked. Mamori blinked, she was going to say she couldn't, even though she wanted to say more than that, she didn't want to, but the woman turned around and left. Mamori sighed and turned around. She looked into Kouji's room and seen he was sleeping peacefully. She seen he was bandaged up and had a broken arm by the looks of it. He had an I.V. too, Mamori saw a nurse come by her and stop.

"Hey sweetie, do you need any medical care? It looks like you got hurt too." She was a plump lady, with the red curly hair, and green sweet eyes that seemed to hold no darkness in her heart.

Mamori closed her eyes and shook her head no. "No, It's ok, I'll be fine" She replied. The woman nodded and left, tending to other patients in there rooms. Mamori sighed again and stood up. "Well, guess he doesn't need me anymore until he's better." Mamori said in a bit of a depress voice. She walked out of the hospital and went into the forest disappearing, as she had no home around the town. She actually lived in the cave dwelling she showed Kouji. She transformed into her wolf form, and walked home. She was careful no one was around when she changed. The storm had died down a bit as she walked home.

After another hour, she appeared at her home and walked into the cave, shaking her fur of the snow and walked into her room, laying down on the soft furry blanket and slowly falling to sleep.
