Authors note:

Seems this idea was not a bad one after all, anyway to put things straight I'm going to do a few tweaking here which is allowing the puppy see in full colour since it helps me and it helps you guys in reading what it is.

If you want to make comments against or about the fic be my guess I'm not picky and to clear this up this fic will expand from the prospective of the puppy during his time with Lei from the second and third tournament, I may also include the beach ball time period as well if I feel like it, but for now its about trying to update this.(and my other fics as a matter of fact.)

Oh yes I need you reviewers help!

Ok I going to have pets for ALL DOA characters (even the one in DOA3) but I need some help on two people on what type of pet they may have.

Bass?

Hayate?

Oh yes is the animal Zack was talking to (in a cut scene in DOA2) a gofer?

Don't worry no cruelty to animals will be shown since it would get anyone who read it after my neck before I can say "I didn't do it."

First Brave Steps

I can feel my body slowly, something I rather forget, and pain lace through my mind threatening to send me back into the darkness "he's waking" I heard someone's voice from some far away place.

I slowly lift my eye lids to see where I' am, but the light that shines into my eye made me whimper as I shut my eyes, I remain still for a moment letting the pain slowly seep away so I could gather more strength.

I felt something brush my back making me curious as to who is stroking me, compel by the urge to see I open my eyes bit by bit letting my eyes adjust to the light, slowly I look round to see I'm on some sort of high platform which I recall is a table, I stare up to find someone in white looking at me with a kind smile.

I turn to find someone else standing on the other side smiling warmly, "You're awake, that's good," I stare at her for a moment and recall she's the one who saved me from my torture by the hands of the people in the alley way, I still felt unsafe around these people and wanted nothing but distance away from them.

I try to stand but the only thing I succeed to do is collapsing on the shiny table, I can't help but whimper from the pain, "He'll need a lot of rest and care," the man in white said, "Thank you doctor Wu" spoke the soft voice of the other, "no problem Miss Lei" the man replies.

I stare up, "Could he have a family?" she asks the man in white, I watch him frown "unlikely" he replies, while they talking I painfully stood up and took one step away from them, the first step was the most painful step I have ever felt in my entire life, but I struggle on.

I reach the end and look over to find I'm too high for me to land, I try to move away from the edge but my legs gave way, I helplessly toppled over the edge as I stare down at the ground, I close my eyes not wanting to see the floor when I hit my head on it.

I felt something underneath me, my side can feel that whatever it is its soft and warm, I open my eyes to find that the one called Miss Lei has her hand underneath me "you could had injured yourself," she whispers relief crossing her face.

I can't help but feel some warmth of such kindness been shown to me "he's been abused too much to suggest any owner would want him back," the man in white coat walk over towards me holding a long thin object that looks like its partly made of glass.

I felt fear grip me and give me new strength as I struggle away from him, but the hands clasp on me "don't move," she soothingly whispers into my ear, but this did not stop me from struggling.

She sighs "please doctor I think it would be best to leave the injection another day," I stop my struggling hoping that whatever the man was about to do wasn't going to happen, "I don't think he likes the needle" finally I knew the name of the object.

The man in white shakes his head, "its best if he receive the injection today or else he might fall ill," I struggle even more "I don't care I don't want that needle to come anywhere near me," but it was no use to struggle in her arms.

I had no choice but to seek shelter within her arms, I close shut my eyes hoping nothing will happen and bury my head into her arms feeling such warmth comforted me.

I felt some kind of prick on my back but that was barely noticeable since I was shaking in fear of feeling a more greater feeling of the needle been pushed into me, "Done" I heard the voice of the man in white, I turn round to find him placing the needle down "that wasn't so bad" I heard the whisper of the girl so close to my ear I could feel her breath on me.

I can't help but feel safe from all danger within her arms, her arm arms made me remember a time when I was with my mother, the memory was distant and distorted but I remember been happy to have been able to snuggle up to her for comfort and protection.

I heard a soft soothing sound and look up to find her laughing "you're so cuddly" she tells me, the man in white returns looking at me, "he can leave now," I can't help but fear his eyes, even though they kind and I feel he is a nice person but I still felt unsafe with him.

He looks up and smiles "you should make sure he don't get out of your sight" The girl looks up "thank you" she turns ready to leave "I suggest you take him in a box of some sort or else he's going to be very frighten when you walk out into the street."

Lei turns round "oh silly me," she replies with an angelic smile that dazzles me, she walks back to the table while the man bring outs a large box with holes in the side.

I wonder what was it for when I'm raise by the girl and place within a box, I look round wondering why are they confining me within the box, I try to jump out but she reassures me with strokes and a whisper "don't worry you'll be fine just be brave for a little longer," my feelings of for the girl turns to love of her been so caring.

I sat down and look up obediently, "good boy" she whispers again making me feel warm inside me, then they close the top part, I felt panic of having to stay where I' am within the dark, but her words kept me strong and I didn't move.

I felt the confinement I'm in suddenly shift causing me alarm, "Don't worry" I heard the voice of the girl whisper into the slit of the box at the top, I settle down again, I saw light piece the darkness within my confinement "this little hole should give him enough air until you reach home" I heard the voice of the man tells the girl "it also serves him as a window for him to look out" the girl adds followed by a giggle.

And so began my little journey as I look out of the hole through the hole, the girl walk out of the door and my nose picks up many smells that nearly overwhelms me, I saw other animals waiting.

Then my confinement is settled down next to a cage to a bird with sky blue feathers, I saw the girl walk to a small hole in the wall and someone began talking to her, "hey kiddo how do you feel?" I heard the chirp of a bird in a cage, I back away afraid "don't worry kid we're not here to bite each other apart" came a deep and powerful bark.

I look out to see a ancient hound staring at me with those ancient eyes, I quickly look away "I'm... sorry" I manage to choke out, "for what?" asks the ancient hound, I quietly said "for been so impolite to someone older than me" I reply.

I heard laughter by many other animals "you must had a gentedog (animal talk may appear as I make them up) of a father youngster" the hound replies.

I felt glum at what he said "is something wrong?" I felt tear of sadness wanting to run down my cheek, I pluck up courage as the girl said and told him "my mother told me my father was run over by something called a car."

No one spoke "I'm sorry" came the old hounds apology, I sigh, "it was a long time ago, my mum didn't told me how long ago because she disappeared one day," I felt the other animals gave me sympathy.

I felt another part of me hating that I'm receiving the sympathy when I should be blamed for losing my sister while we escaped, but the memory of the escape scared me to even think about, I knew that the memory of my youngest sister will forever haunt me of my failure to protect her.

I felt the box been lifted "well I hope you have a safe and nice journey with Lei fang" the old hound said, I felt the box been lifted "sorry for taking so long," she whispers into the box, I didn't reply but memorize her name, Lei fang,

I paid attention while I look out of the hole of seeing so many people, I felt relief that I'm inside the box so they won't hurt me, I felt guilty because I know I'm light but Lei Fang didn't look like she could carry me for too long, I just wish I could repay her kindness.

What I saw next made me jump, something flash pass in front of my little hole, "hey don't jump in there" I heard her firmly spoke making me stop my actions, I heard the voice of other people "sorry," I heard her apologise making me feel even more guilty for getting her in trouble.

Soon she sits down, she opens the box and peers down at me, "bored?" she asks me, I didn't know what to do but her hands curls round under me and lifts me up, I'm only inches away from her face "you're so adorable I can't believe that someone would had wanted to kill you just to eat you."

She close the box and lets me settle on top, I felt the top is been pressing down with my body weight "scared?" she asks giving one of her angelic smile which will forever remain within my memories, I couldn't but help nuzzling the tip of my nose onto her nose "been bold are we?"

I felt one hand grab me and pulls me closer to her as her other hand tickles my stomach casing me to wiggle in her arms "you like that?" she asks, I couldn't but help but agree that I like how she stroked me, the soothing touch was causing me wanting more of her touch.

I look round to see other passengers staring at me, once little boy stare at me "a puppy" the boy calls out, I didn't know what to do but stare at him, Lei laughs while she held me "want to hold him?" she asks.

The boy walks over but an older woman caught his arm, "he may be dangerous!" She tells the boy sternly, the boy look hesitant, "don't' worry he's practically harmless," the boy look hesitant but walks slowly to Lei, she held me out to the boy.

The boy took hold of me and stares at me, I felt fear for a moment but when I stare into the boys eyes I saw the mirror of my fear in the boys eyes, I felt some kind of connection with the boy of how he felt, I licked his hand hearing him laugh "that tickles," he tells me.

The older woman seems to scowl the boy but beside that didn't protest.

I lay on the boys lap lazily while he pets me, he sat next to Lei who smiles at me.

She looks up and a look of alarm cross her face "oops we nearly missed our stop" she calls out pressing a black line above her head, I hear the sound of something ringing, she quickly scoops me up into her arms "come along we have to get off or else mums going to complain why I'm late."

From the sound of her voice I could hear some distress, she place me back into the box and shut the top once more, I stare out through the hole and watch her step off whatever we were on, I stare out into the open ground seeing a few large boxes of something called buildings from what I heard from the boy.

She shifts a little and we begin to travel down the road, people greeted Lei as she went by, time didn't seem to matter to me as long as Lei is around I feel safe from all dangers.

I yawn "oh you're tired? Have nap I'll wake you up before we get home." I drift off to sleep.

I slowly awaken when I heard her voice "wake up," I heard her, I open my eyes to see Lei sitting down on something made of white, I lay on a soft white object, she giggles "welcome home Foon" I heard her say my new name.
