Mikari Ookami Age: Four(Memory #2)

Finally Mikari's family and herself had arrived in the Hidden Leaf Village after 5 days of walking. Ever since her mom told them about the trip, Mikari had been so excited. She even heard that she would meet someone her age.

Then they finally arrived in a field of flowers in the village. Apparently they were waiting for a family that was part of the Inuzuka clan. Orihime had a good friend of the clan and they wanted their kids to meet. After a few minutes, Mikari saw 3 different figures in the distance coming towards them.

The twins hid behind their fathers legs while Mikari was behind her mother. They then saw the figures appearances. The tall one was of a lady with wild, brown hair, slit eyes and probably was the same age as Orihime. Then there was a girl at about the shoulder-length of the taller woman with the same hair but in a pony-tail and the same eyes. Lastly there was a boy about the same age as Mikari with brown, bed-hair and slit eyes. Also on all their cheeks were upside down, red triangle tattoos representing their clan. And behind them were their dog partners like Mikari's parents wolves behind them. Though there was a small white dog behind the boy's legs.

"My Orihime! It's been so long since I've seen you!" The older woman said. Orihime nodded. "Yes. And you haven't changed one bit Tsume." Tsume laughed. "Of course. And your still looking beaten Kai!" Kai groaned. "Nice to see you too, Tsume." This just made Tsume laugh louder.

After calming down, Tsume said, "Orihime, Kai, these are my kids Hana and Kiba." She pointed to Hana, the girl, and Kiba, the boy. "Their so grown up. Already training with their nin-dogs?" Orihime asked. Tsume laughed. "Of course! Or else they'll get a talk from me." "...Would get yelled at by her either way." Kiba whispered but got smacked by his sis.

Tsume then looked at Mikari and the twins behind their parents legs. "Are those your pups?" She asked. Orihime nodded. "Yes. Our oldest Mikari, and the twins Ven and Haruka." The twins just hid more while Mikari stared. "Go on you three." Kai said nodding forward.

Mikari being the brave one started to walk to the front but quickly looked down shy. She wasn't used of these situations. Then without warning, Ven and Haruka went and pushed Mikari forward making her fall to the ground. Everyone just looked shocked at the scene before them.

On the ground, Mikari laid still, afraid of even more embarrassment. Kai quickly began to yell at the twins behaviour. "What is the matter with you two, pushing your sister like that?" "But look daddy." The twins said pointing forward. Looking over, Kai was ever more shocked at the sight.

Kiba had walked over and bend down to Mikari. "Are you ok?" He asked sweetly. Mikari looked up to see the boys face very close to her own. Not finding her voice. She just nodded her head. Kiba pulled her up to her feet. "That's good." He looked her up and down. "Not hurt are you?"

Mikari smiled brightly at him. "N-nope. Thanks for helping me." Kiba smiled showing a tiny fang. "Your smile is so cute and your wolf ears are adorable." This caused Mikari to go bright red while Kiba just smirked at her.

During their moment, the others just smiled at them, though Kai was just staring with wide eyes. Hana looked down at the twins. "You two are so devilish." The twins just smiled even more. "It's puppy love!" The mothers said together while Kai went into a little emo corner on the grass.

"Ruff ruff (Hello hello)." Mikari looked down to see the little white puppy. "Aw hello." She bend down to pet him, but got tackled by the hyper puppy. Kiba laughed at the two. "That's great! You can understand Akamaru." "Yup!" Kiba held out his hand. "C'mon! Let's go play!" Mikari grabbed his hand with Akamaru in her other arm. "Ok!"

And so for the next few days, Mikari and Kiba spend almost every second together. They played fetch with Akamaru, swam in the lake, fought over food, and slept together after watching late-night scary movies.

Then the day before Mikari and her family had to leave, Mikari and Kiba were lying down in the flower field with Akamaru. "Hey Mikari..." "Hm." Kiba turned to Mikari and put a daisy in her hair. "Teehee the daisy suits you, though a sunflower would too or maybe even a rose." Mikari blushed looking away. "Stop making me blush."

Kiba smirked at her. "But you look so cute blushing." "Maybe I should throw mud at you to make yourself look cute." "Harsh."

Akamaru then started to give Mikari puppy kisses on her face. She looked at Akamaru with a thought. And she then smirked at Kiba with an idea.

"Hey Kiba. Let's play a game." Kiba looked at her in question. "Which one?" She leaned down to lick his cheek. "Its called: Puppy Kiss Tag." And so she began running back to the house with a smirking Kiba right behind her.

Back at the house, Kai was packing the suit cases, Orihime and Tsume were chatting in the kitchen and the twins were drawing pictures with Hana watching them. Then the mothers see Mikari run in with Kiba behind her. He then tackled her to the ground, pinning her down.

And just as Kai entered, Kiba leaned down to lick Mikari's cheek. "Your it." Mikari then began to wrestle with Kiba to be on top. Kai was fuming with orihime and Tsume laughing at him. "Hm...maybe we should arrange an engagement with them." Orihime looked at Tsume. "That's a grand idea. And they are so perfect together." The ladies giggled while Kai just argued about Mikari being too young for love and a mate.

Finally the day came for the Ookami family to leave and Mikari wasn't thrilled.

Mikari stood with Kiba on the pathway with their families behind them saying goodbye. She began to cry lightly from the thought of leaving. Then she felt Kiba hug her. "We'll see each other again! We're meant too!" He wiped her tears away while Akamaru nudged her leg.

She nodded her head and pet Akamaru with sad eyes still. "Mikari..." Mikari looked up to Kiba. He had a red ribbon in his hand. "This is my gift to you. Think of it as the red string that ties our lives together." Mikari smiled at his cheesy words and took the ribbon out of his hand. She tied it in her hair and then hugged Kiba. "I'll always wear it just for you."

As he hugged her back, the adults said that it was time. Kiba let Mikari go and looked down at her. "Guess this is goodbye for now." Mikari nodded. "We'll meet again no matter what." "Yeah."

Mikari then began to walk away with her family. She turned to walk away with her family. She turned around once more to see Kiba watching her with sad eyes. "Do you love him?" Mikari looked up at her mother who questioned her. "I...I think I...do..though I just met him and I'm young." Orihime then bend down to her height. "If your heart says he's the one...show him."

Mikari looked shocked at her mother, then to Kiba. Then she ran back to him as fast as she could and gave him a kiss on the lips. Kiba stood frozen as she pulled away. "You owe me a kiss back when we meet again." Kiba just nodded as Mikari ran back to her family.

Everyone shared a smile as they parted. Though as the Ookami's walked, Kai questioned his wife. "What did you tell her? She shouldn't find love in a mate yet?" Orihime giggled at her mate. "Dear be happy that she found him at the very age you found me. And they are destined with that kiss too. So be happy that its with an Inuzuka boy." "Fine."

On the way home, Mikari just walked with a hop in her step and a giant smile on her face. With a red ribbon in her hair and a tingly sensation in her. She would never forget this day and love.
