Mako meets Luna for the first time and this might be the one for help.
Chapter 9: Luna's Assistance
Mako stared at the black wolf walking by and he was surprised that she could help out Sage and he knew that he had met her before when she was babysitting the younger kids and Sage as well and he said, "You're Luna, right?"
"Yes, sir." Luna replied.
"Oh, yeah...that's right. You and Ryo and some of the others babysat my younger adopted kids. And you also have the same name as my daughter's." Mako stated.
"Really?" asked Luna.
"Yep. My birth daughter, not my adopted daughter." Mako added.
Luna giggled in response and she said, "I understand. I would love to meet Luna someday."
Mako nodded his head in agreement and soon enough, Luna walks towards Mako and she said, "So...I've heard that you needed some help with Sage, right?"
"Yeah. Sage is kinda...rebellious." Mako replied.
"I actually met Sage and he seems like a decent guy. He just needed a friend." Luna replied.
Now that surprised Mako to hear that come from Luna and he wasn't quite sure if he was gonna take that chance because Sage can be completely rebellious and really unwilling to listen to anyone because they don't add up to him, but hearing that there's a little shift in him in front of Luna made him unconvinced. He asked, "He doesn't talk smack about you, doesn't he?"
"No, he never could. Some of his antics are kinda...weird, but I just think that all of it is just a facade so that no one could see his true self because he's been through a lot." Luna replied.
"How do you know?" asked Mako.
"He said that he watched his parents die in a burning house when he was a pup and that kinda scarred him for life and that he's never gotten over it and that's why he turned to streetfighting...because it's his only outlet. But there has to be better outlets than that. So...we became good friends from there." Luna said.
"How is he around you?" asked Mako.
"He's a good guy. It's just that that part of him was hidden from everyone because the reason he's always a troublemaker is that everyone treats him like one." Luna answered.
Mako was deeply surprised by this and it's like she knows another part of Sage that he has never seen before and it got to thinking...if everything Luna says it's true, then there's no reason why he shouldn't give this one a chance and that it might be a last ditch effort to help Sage out. He looks at Luna for a second and he said, "So...you're willing to help me? I mean, Sage is really a hardheaded case."
"Of course I'm willing to help you. All Sage needs is someone to call his true friend." Luna answered, with a smile.
"Thank you so much." Mako replied, smiling.
"I'll come by and visit him frequently and see how he's doing, maybe hang with him." Luna replied.
"That's perfectly fine with me." Mako answered.
And Luna's officially gonna hang around Sage to help out! Find out more!
