Previously, on Kouji and the Wolf girl…

Kouji was looking for Mamori when he had ran into a bear and almost gotten killed by it, Mamori, in her white wolf form saved Kouji and took him to the hospital. They said he was going to be alright and said for her to check up on him every now and then. He has a broken arm and large wounds, but the blood only made them looked huge, they were deep, but small, and for a human only took about a week to heal. His broken arm though, would take him three weeks to heal. When Mamori was reassured he was okay, she left to her home in the forest after being told to watch her person she was suppose to guide as she did know the forest better than anyone around here…

Chapter 4:

A sweet time turns for the worst…

Kouji at the last minute Mamori was about to turn around, had opened his eyes. She disappeared and he stared at the ceiling. Finally, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, Kouji was given breakfast and lunch before he returned home. By this time, Kouji was wide awake and felt better than ever, well, except for his arm that is, although it did not hurt as much as last night. Just then a man came into his room. He wore a brown leather coat, with the fake fur covering the rims of his hood and inside of his coat, with a tan shirt on, but was verily visible because his coat was buttoned up, with brown Danners(brown leather boots) on and dark brown dirty pants that were held up with a black belt and golden buckle. He was a muscular Caucasian man with golden wavy locks and eyes as blue as the sky. He was a handsome middle-aged man that seemed to love adventure. His shoes squeaked as he walked. He came to the nurse.

"So, is this the kid?" He asked the woman doctor. She nodded and the man came into Kouji's room. "Hey kid, the doctors told me to give you a ride home ok?"

Kouji nodded once and the man left. Kouji sat up and carefully swung his legs over to the edge, and started putting his socks and shoes on the best he could. He was about to put his tattered clothing back on when he heard a knock on his door. "Come in" He said in an unusually clear voice, the medicine Mamori gave him really did work, although it still tasted gross. The door handle turned and, the door itself creaked open, showing it had rusty hinges. Just then to Kouji's astonishment, Mamori came in holding a bag.

"Hey, I um…" She walked over slowly, and seemed to be a bit paranoid. She let her actions speak for her and held out the bag to him. "They were my brother's, but you can have them, and besides, the coat you had wasn't quite the winter coat" she said. Kouji nodded and set the bag to the side.

"See-ya around." Mamori said as she disappeared out the door. Kouji tried to ask her a question, but she had already left. He seen no one was around, so looked in the bag. He seen a coat that it was a blue,white and black camoflauge desion, and also a zip up, just like his, but the material was thicker and seemed to be warmer. He looked at the shirts and seen they were made with the same material just as the coat was, one being white and the other being black. He changed into them, wearing grey pants that were the same as his old ones, but with pockets and just as the other clothes were, better material.

He put the clothes on when he felt a bulge inside his pocket. He dug around inside of it and grasped a rough handle with his fingers and brang it out, revealing a knife with a white piece of paper attached to it. "This is yours, just in case of anything that happens…Mamori"

He read the paper, then looked at the handle. He fidgeted around with it until he pulled the metallic metal and opened it to reveal a knife. He stared at it for a long time until he heard the door creaking open. He pushed the blade on his cast and closed it, putting it back in his pocket before the man came in.

"Are you ready to go?" The man asked politely. Kouji nodded and jumped off the bed. He followed the man outside.

When they came to the door, the man opened it for Kouji. Kouji thanked the man and went through the opening to outside. Kouji seen the blizzard had stopped and covered the town in a white blanket of sparkling frozen water. Kouji walked over and seen a dog sled with covers and a cotton bed hooked onto the bed slats. "Here, lay down" The man said. Kouji stepped into the huge cotton thing and layed down, he was covered by the thick covering and was held down so tight he could barely move. The reason for this was for him to be safe. Their were five dogs on this sled. The two in the back were both black and brown, and seemingly the strongest. The next two were sort of built like the back ones, but more slender. One was red and white with hazel eyes, the other was grey and black with dark blue eyes, both having different markings on their faces, and the leader was all black with a white underbelly and also white underneath its muzzle and tail. It had blue eyes and a fierce, alpha male look to it.

The man called a command, Hike up! He yelled and off raced the dogs, as they strained their harnesses, running at a good speed, to them it was so wonderful to run. Kouji felt the wind blow in his face. It felt good.

After a good five minutes, they appeared up by Kouji's house. They dropped him off and left. Kouji walked inside and opened the house with his key. He walked in and seen everything was the way he left it. He sat on the couch and layed down.

Three weeks later…

Kouji walked outside, waiting for Mamori. As usual, she came from the forest. Kouji liked her presence, as she came and visited him everyday, helping him with stuff he could not do, or reach. They became very good friends and hung out up on top of the hill above Kouji's house. They were close and told each other stuff, and secrets, and even when they were sad. Kouji told her his adventure in the sixth grade and Mamori didn't believe him at first, but then the more she told her about it, the more she believed him. He had traveled to a world that was made up of data and had digital monsters in it which he and his friends had to fight. He told her how he found his brother in this realm and all about Kouichi. He talked on and on about Kouichi, Mamori listening and laughing every now and then when he told her the funny things they use to do. When Kouji asked Mamori about her brother, she would just say she didn't really want to talk about it. Kouji let this be and they would talk about other stuff.

Now today, was the day he would get his cast off and couldn't wait to. Right on time, just as always, Mamori came through the woods, although something was unusual about her. She had blood on the right side of her mouth. "uh…mamori?" Kouji asked, he then noticed cuts on her body and a scratch on her cheek.

"Huh...? Oh this…? I fell" She said. "It's nothing serious though, I was so clumsy I tripped over a log" She said in a calm voice. Even though, Kouji knew you couldn't get scratches like that from a fall. "Well, alright." He said. Mamori smiled and walked on. "Well come on, or are you still a handicapped boy?" She said teasingly. Kouji smiled. "Yea right, I could be you in a race even with this cast on" He said in a cool tone. "Oh yea? Well ok then, ready set go!" She said sprinting off down the hill. Kouji opened his eyes and turned his head, he frowned and ran as fast as he could down the hill. Mamori slowed down a bit for him to catch up. "Come on!" She said laughing. They both started to laugh as they raced.

When they got down the hill and a little farther along the snowy path, Kouji was out of breath. "Come on!" Mamori said sliding to a stop still in a happy mood. Kouji wondered how she could keep going, and also how her breathing wasn't heavy like his. He was a bit suspicious, but said nothing and ran on behind her. They started to walk on, as Mamori was the only one running.

They walked side by side and after a few more minutes came to town, they walked through the streets and came to the doctor's office. They walked into the place and went into the room they were assigned after going to the doctor sign up place. After a few minutes, the doctor came in and took x-rays of Kouji's arm. When they were done processing, he hung them up for them to see. They seen Kouji's arm was a lot better, and was done healing. The doctor dug around in the drawers and found a cutting tool. He held it up and started to cut his cast off. Mamori was asked to wait outside and so she did.

Mamori waited and waited for what seemed like hours. Finally, Kouji came out and a stench followed him, it was his arm. Mamori covered her nose. "Well, you better get home and take a shower" Mamori said holding her nose. Kouji smiled sheepishly as he covered his arm up with a temporary bandage.

When they were finished, they headed back to Koujis house. The two started laughing at his arm. It was kind of retarded to laugh at his arm, but to them it was a lot of fun because Kouji would gag to make Mamori laugh. They both started laughing really hard as Mamori started to sing Candy Kisses by Amanda Perez and Kouji sang the boy part. They had a really fun time walking back.

Mamori was walking on slippery snow when she slipped! She fell, but Kouji caught her. She looked up into his face. They just stared at each other, but when they both blinked, they turned away, both blushing. "Hey look their's your house." Mamori said focusing on that instead. She stood up and they both walked over to it. When they got there, they heard laughing inside and the light was on. They looked at each other, both a bit confused, adrenaline started to run through their veins. Kouji opened the door.
