… 3 Months Later …
"AH! How much longer!?" okami and naruto are walking along a dirt road on their way back to the village, okami's getting anxious. Over the last two moths his hair has gotten longer by half an inch, his clothes have only changed slightly, on his gray jacket a black line runs down each arm. "I don't know… maybe another hour?" okami starts to run ahead "I need to get back to the village before sundown!" naruto looks at okami "you go ahead." Okami grins and disappears
"Hinata, what time is it?" rose and hinata are in the training fields eating lunch near a few trees. Rose's hair has gotten a little longer but she's still looks the same. "Hm… I think about 2:30 p.m." rose stands up " I have to go meet okami and lily at the gates." hinata picks up her scrolls "I'll come with you" rose helps hinata pick up the broken shiriken on the ground "Sakura! Its almost time!" lily is in the hospital wearing a nurse dress like sakura. Lily's hair is up to her shoulders and she has a dark blue short sleeve shirt under her gown. "Why are you talking, go already!" lily takes off her gown and runs to the exit "I'll meet you at the gate!"
A while later, rose arrives to see lily waiting by the gates "lily! Where's okami?" lily looks at rose, her face is filled with worry "Its been 20 minutes…he's still not here…" rose looks at the gates "Maybe…he's still training…maybe he lost track of time…" lily bites her lip "He wouldn't do that….he promised he wouldn't be late…" rose pulls lily "lets go to the dumpling shop we can come back later." lily nods " 'kay…" okami is running through the forest when he senses something "what the-" something takles him, but he quickly dodges "Yo! I see your training has gone well."
okami looks back at sees jacob and sasuke, Jacob's clothes have changed slightly as well, he now wears long sleeved shirts and longer pants . "Hey what was that for? Why are you guys here?." jacob smirks, he, okami, and sasuke run through the forest towards the gates "Nothing, Just some training." okami looks at jacob "I can handle this myself, there's no need for you to get involved." Jacob looks back at sasuke, He nods. "Hey, that's your problem, I don't want you guys to have all the glory." okami laughs "Wait….What do you mean Us?" jacob turns to okami
"Lily and rose are training too, Im guessing cuz they both want to help." okami looks forward "Well at least I know you guys are strong enough to protect yourselves, Trust me you don't know what he can do" jacob punches okami's arm "No serious talk, This is your return, put on a smile for lily." okami sighs and puts on a smile. Jacob laughs and points at something. "Were home." the konoha gates get bigger and brighter with every step. "You guys go ahead I have to go see sakura." jacob and okami both nod and sasuke disappears. "Wait. Wheres lily?"okami and jacob look around, There's nobody waiting
"Maybe were early?" okami nods "What time is it?" jacob looks around "Im guessing 3:30 p.m." okami turns around and shakes jacob "I was supposed to be here half an hour ago!" jacob hits okami on the head to calm him down. "Breathe!, Lets look around maybe we can find her."
"Come on lily, try to cheer up, he's only a bit late" Rose and lily are the dumpling shop, rose has ordered her 2, but she hasn't taken a single bite "I guess" she takes a bite of the dumpling and gives a small smile "See, that's better!" she turns to her sister "Yea…it does make me feel a little better, plus it tastes delicious!" Rose laughs and takes a sip of her tea "Do you think he'll notice?" Rose looks at her sister, she doesn't understand "He'll notice what, how you look or?"
lily blushes "Besides that…I mean how much stronger ive gotten" Rose pokes lily's forehead "Who wouldn't!?, I mean your sakura's pupil for crying out loud!" they both start to laugh. "Were could they have gone!?" Okami and jacob are jumping from rooftop to rooftop trying to look for lily and rose "Well…where would you go if you were feeling down?" Okami stops instantly but doesn't stop fast enough not to hit the wood pole in front of him "AH! Damn it!" he rubs his forehead, Jacob lands next to him "Nice" he glares at jacob "Not that, I know were they might be, lets hurry!" Rose looks at the clock near the table "Its almost 4...were could he be, is today even the day when.."
Lily gets up from her chair and sighs "Maybe we got the date wrong…lets just go home" Rose looks at her sisters disappointment, she gets up and puts one arm around her shoulder "Maybe, lets go home then" they walk out the door, lily looks down "I just wish it was today…." "Today was what?" They both look around to hear the familiar voice "Hey guys" Jacob walks up to both of them "Hey…." he raises one eyebrow "He didn't show?" rose nods "Were going home, can you come I think lily will need your support" Jacob puts his hands in his pockets "Sure"
The group arrives home around 5pm, they would have gotten their sooner but lily wasn't in any mood to get home quickly and the fact that jacob had explained what was happening only to rose "Oh I see, well that make her feel better" She turns to jacob "But why didn't her enter the shop?" He smirks "You know him, always doing things his way" He points at the door, lily looks up, her eyes start to water a bit, she runs forward "Okami!…" she hugs him tightly "I told you id be back soon, sorry to make you wait" she looks at him and slaps his face, rose and jacob flinch
"You had me worried!!! You don't know how sad I was to think you wouldn't arrive today!!!…and…Im just glad….your back…" More tears run down her cheeks, okami rubs his cheek and laughs "I guess I deserve that, but that one actually hurt" she smiles at him "Ok, ok enough with all this sappy stuff, can we just go inside already, you two have plenty of time to catch up" rose punches jacobs arm "That wasn't very polite!" All four of them enter the house.
Okami, lily and rose are sitting on the couch and jacob in his usual chair "Okami PLEASE promise that you will never leave this village ever again without taking lily with you." okami looks at rose "Why?" she points to her sister "She has been moping around for the last three months, if it wasn't for the training I would have killed myself!." lily pouts "Well excuse me for feeling lonely." Jacob cant help but laugh "What about buncha?" lily smiles "He was good company but he keep reminding me of okami" lily hugs okami's arm " I'm happy that he came back." okami looks at lily.
"Her hair is longer, and her clothes are different, did she change for me?…' "Hey how can you guys stay for dinner?" okami turns to Jacob "I can stay, I don't know about-" "YES!" they all look at Jacob "Hey don't give me that look" All three of them are looking at him like he's insane "Hikari is probably near my house, she just won't give up even after she left our fake relationship." He slumps into his chair "So how long did that romance last, hmm?" Jacob glares at him, but ignores the comment. 20 minutes later, all four of them have finished their dinner "Hey rose, were are your parents?" rose puts down her cup and looks at jacob "There over at his house, its their game night"
"I see…." okami puts his fork down fast into the plate "Ah! I havent told my parents im back!!" Lily gets up and takes everyone's plates to the kitchen, rose sighs at him "Seriously okami, you need to get your priorities straight" He grins at her. After what seems like hours, all four of them are finally caught up with what everyone's done these past 3 months, jacob looks at the clock, he gets up "Well I better get home, cya later" Rose walks up to her room, lily and okami go up to the roof "Its peaceful tonight, isn't?" okami sits down with lily next to him "Yea it is"
Okami turns to lily "I like your new look, it suits you" She cant help but blush, she plays with her fingers "Rose said that I would look better like this…" he grabs her hand, she smiles at him "You didn't have to change" "I know, but I wanted to" she puts her head on his shoulder, okami closes his eyes "This time, I wount let anyone get hurt….that's a promise" she looks up at him "You mean we wount let anyone get hurt" he laughs "Yea, your right I've got you guys by my side"
lily closes her eyes, okami thinks for a bit, he cant help but remember what had happened during his training, the dream more like nightmare he had "Okami are you ok?" he opens his eyes to see lily looking at him with worry in her expression "Yea Im ok, why is there something wrong?" she sits up straight and holds his hand "You looked like you were in pain or something…" he gives her a small smile "I just have a lot on my mind that's all" "Like what?" he gets close to her face
"Like why havent I kissed you yet" He grins at her expression, she's blushing beyond her control "Oh…Oh I se-" she's cut off by his kiss, she closes her eyes and kisses him back, after a minute or two they both break free "How was that?" lily looks down at her feet, she still hasn't gotten use to it "Really great…" He puts one arm around her waist "Glad you liked it" Both of them start to laugh.
