Authors note: It's been ages since I even place a chapter in any of my fics…. I'm ashamed… anyway as it is I'll try to get myself typing again, but it's kind of hard with writers block and stuff, plus work (yippee!), anyway back to the puppy (never noticed how much Miko made me laugh…)

First lesson

Josh charged straight into Okami and manage to throw him away from Tsubasa before he bit her head off, "well that wasn't nice," the grey Wolf spoke amused when it stood up once more, "it's not nice trying to eat people," bark Josh, Okami smiles, "ah but that is the law of the nature, I eat you and something else eats me."

He didn't seem afraid, Tsubasa circle above wanting revenge, "true but not other peoples pets, damn it," Josh barks angrily, Okami just laughs, "true but pets are still food to other animals," it glance to me, "ah I see you have pup in your company," I felt a little scared, "don't make me come over their and beat the fur out of you," squeal Miko seemingly wanting to pick a fight.

The wolf just walk towards me, I felt my legs quake in fear, "oh so the field mouse I didn't get the chance to eat is now hitching a ride on top of a pup?" I wanted to run but was too afraid to even move, "yeah I'm still alive but you won't be when I'm done with you."

Kaiyou Stood in front of Okami, "that's as far as you…" he didn't finish his sentence when the Wolf swung it's head knocking Kaiyou back, Josh came charging in again, the same attack won't work twice, Okami leapt sideways while Josh collided with the tree.

Finally Okami stood before me, he examine me for a moment, I stare up into those eyes, I thought he probably saw me as the next meal and wondered am I worth a meal or two, "heh you're prettified of me aren't you?" he asks, "PRETTIFED!" scream Miko in rage, "I'M NOT PRETTIFED DAMNIT!"

The grey just rolls his eye, "I wasn't talking about you loud mouse," he spoke evenly, "I was referring to the pup you're riding on," Miko didn't seem convinced, I could feel her crouch ready to spring at the wolf, "oh be sensible I'm not going to eat him," he looks at Miko with a nasty smile, "but you on the other hand…"

Tsubasa came down, her claws lashing out, Okami just backs away not wanting his eyes gouged out by the falcon, "leave now!" she demands, Okami smiles, "I said I'm curious not hungry," he turns away his eyes never leaving me, "maybe we can talk when you're alone kid," he gave a chilling laugh.

Walking into the trees he vanishes.

I stood rooted to the spot for a few moments until Miko began to move on top of my head, "yo if you're still breathing start yapping," Kaiyou came alongside me seemingly unharmed, "well that was fun," he sarcastically spoke, "true," Josh agrees.

He sat next to me, "you know someone said once, 'even a puppy knows when to hide from a Wolf' but you my little friend are scared stiff by that bully," I shook my head, I look round to see them staring at me, "what?" I asked afraid I have something on me, "we thought you died standing that's all," Kaiyou tells me.

I let out a sigh, "don't worry about that old wolf," Tsubasa soothingly tells me, I didn't thought I was that scared of Okami, "dose he have a owner?" I asks without thinking, no one spoke, Tsubasa spoke up for them, "he has no master," I look up to the white falcon and wondered should I ask more questions.

Jock looks up to the sky, "we better get back or else our owners will be worried," it struck me that we've been away for quite some time, I'm sure Lei is worried to death about me, "lets head back then," Kaiyou smiles, "I was thinking of the same thing," no doubt he's anxious to return to his owner for a comfortable nap.

Josh laughs, "It's understandable," Tsubasa laughs softly, "now lets head back to the hotel," taking flight she soars into the air "I'll lead the way!" she calls down to us.

Josh and Kaiyou turn to follow, I gave one glance back to the woods, I wondered is Okami watching me from the shadows of the trees, the thought was scary, "hello passenger wants to go home now," Miko tells me, she stare down at me by peeking down from her seat into my eyes, "OK I'm gone."

Without any delay I turn and began to run through the trees and roots, all this time Miko said, "I hate riding on your damn head!" as she cling to my fur for dear life or else she'll be thrown off.

When we arrive at the hotel front Ayane and Tina are still there, "god don't they stop?" Josh asks in disbelieve, Kaiyou gave a small shrug, "can't be helped," I didn't ask.

Once we stood some two yards from them they seem to notice us, "oh we forgot we're suppose to look after the pets," the thought that they suppose to watch us finally dawned upon her, I glance to Josh, "she got so carried away she didn't even notice us," Ayane knelt down.

Kaiyou ran up to Ayane arm, then curled round her neck, "I missed you" I heard her whisper to Kaiyou ear, he smiles, "me too," he replies softly enjoying her hand stroking him, "and here I thought the deadly Ayane would had something to suit her," Ayane smiles, "I may be nice and comfy on the outside but it's the inside you have to be afraid."

Tina seems thoughtful, "so you're implying that you're nice and cuddly?" Ayane nods, the next thing she knew she's given a hug as Tina hauls Ayane off her feet, "you are nice and cuddly," Ayane began to struggle, "hey let me go!"

Tina didn't, we sat there watching as Tina smile while Ayane try to break free, "oh you're blushing," comments Tina, true to her words Ayane is, from embarrassment no doubt, "let me go or I'll hurt you!" she shouts, Tina giggles, "what don't you like people cuddling you?"

She let Ayane go and stepped back, she landed on her feet and glares at Tina, her cheeks still burning red, "come on you enjoyed it didn't you?" Ayane open her lips to speak but someone spoke for her, "she loved it," turning I saw Lei walking out of the hotel with a bright smile.

I ran up to her, she smiles even wider when she saw me, I immediately ran up to her leg while looking up to see her giggle, "I missed you too Foon," she tells me when she knelt down to run her hand through my back, I arch my back so I can feel her hand.

Tina shrugs, "talk about quick recovery," Lei smiles to Tina, "what you did with Ayane was so adorable," Ayane seem ready to scream at Lei, "I'm sure Ayane would want you to do it again," before Ayane can even protest she's hauled up in the air by Tina, "is my Ayane poo embarrassed?" Tina asks sweetly.

Ayane is trying in vain to pull Tina's arm off her, I heard Kaiyou laughing at Ayane misfortune, "if only I had a camera right now," Lei spoke thoughtfully, a flash to the right caught their attention, turning we saw a large man, he reminded me of an animal called an ape.

I saw a picture of one when Lei came home with a book filled about animals, in his hand he held a small camera, "that is going into the album," Tina laughs when she saw the big man, "hey dad could you take another one?" the man called dad smiles, "sure."

Tina looks to Lei, "come on join in!" Lei didn't loose any time in running alongside Tina and the struggling Ayane, Lei gesture to us, "come on it's a group pic," she tells us, Josh laughs, "come on youngsters we've been invited," seeing no point in refusing I ran up to them.

Tsubasa laughs while in the air, Josh stood before Tina who held Ayane still struggling, I sat before Lei with Miko still perched on my head, Kaiyou had uncurl himself from Ayane neck, he sat on her shoulder, Tsubasa joined as well perching on top of Josh head.

Ayane wouldn't stay still for one moment, "OK say cheese," Lei flash her best smile as we all did, except Ayane, then the camera flash, I saw stars for a moment from the bright flash, when they disappear the big man walk up to us.

He looks a the camera, "here you go," he turns it round, on the back is a screen of us in the picture, I look happy as do the rest, Tina head is smiling but she's been pushed by Ayane hand away as she try and privy herself off Tina.

We all laughed at the photo.

Tina finally let go of Ayane with a large grin on her lips, "so you did you enjoy your cuddle Ayane poo?" Ayane screams at Tina, "you big American oaf I would skin you alive if I had the damn time," we all laugh at her threat knowing she won't do it, well maybe

Kaiyou knowing how to calm Ayane nuzzle her ear, she glares at us but Kaiyou kept a constant nuzzle which quickly melts away her anger, she begin to play with Kaiyou as he ran from one end of her arm to the other, the others laugh either way because to see Ayane calmed down by her pet was priceless to see.

Lei then looks to the big man, "hey Bass can you copy that video for us?" Ayane stare in shock when she heard the answer, "OK I'll also make a copy for everyone to see," Ayane is quick and runs towards Bass to get the camcorder.

Despite been rather large Bass moved rather quickly and drew the camera back before Ayane had a chance to grab it, "sorry but I can't have you spoil my collection to my album can I?" the purple Kunoichi fumes, "its better having a photo of someone alive don't you think?" asks a cold voice.

We turn to see Helena returning, her eyes glaring at Ayane who seem indifferent about the appearance of the French woman, "I don't have time for your cry baby routine so buzz off," Ayane bluntly replies glaring at Bass who is smiling while he held the camera as high as possible like holding a candy from a baby.

Josh watch his owner glares at Ayane for a few moments, she then turns and leaves, Josh follows, "see you later," he calls back, I bark my reply, "can't that damn mutt shut up?" Ayane shouts at me, I ran behind Lei when I heard her shout, shivering with fear she'll try to cut off my tail like before.

Lei got cross, "hey stop shouting at my puppy," Ayane is ready to shout again but Kaiyou ran down her arm and behind her neck then began licking her nape causing the purple Kunoichi to suppress a giggle from her ferret, "stop…that" she struggle to say.

Tina laughs at Ayane, "ah yes Ayane the badass woman to walk the DOA contest is subdued by a ferret," Ayane strokes Kaiyou, "he's my ferret so that's what makes him special," Tina smile, "oooo, Ayane is rather touchy about her little Kaiyou isn't she?"

I rolled my eyes like the rest, beside Ayane and Tina, knowing they'll start another sassy conversation and probably lesbian one at it too, "I still don't know what the words means, how embarrassing."

Lei shrug and scoop me into her arms and nuzzle my neck, I gave a playful noise and roll over so I can nuzzle her face on my back, I love making her giggle "you two are so playful it's unbelievable," Tina tell us, I bark my agreement with a smile, "Foon agrees with you."

Bass laughs, "don't worry sugar puff that puppy their will probably tire her out before this day is out," Bass seem so sure I'll tire out Lei before she tires me out, "have you try living with her?" I wanted to bark, "She has more energy than five of me!"

Authors note: Short and sweet, that's how I like it, anyway that's it for now, tune in later kiddies (Joke), oh yeah Ein/Hayate DO NOT own a Wolf OK, later, Wolf.
