Past ... ~

Okami's eyes were red and his face was soaked with tears. He murmured,"... ease ... won't ... wo ..." We were sitting at a river, about 3 feet wide, filled with rushing water. It was hidden by the forest of trees, so it was our secret place to meet up.

I smiled sadly,"C ... Come on, Okami! Boy's shouldn't cry in front of girl!" I somehow understood what he said,"I'll come back, I promise!"

This got him to look up at me, for I was taller,"Wou wromise ...?"

I patted his head,"Yeah, yeah. I'll see you again! Say! Why don't we promise something else?"

Okami looked confused,"What do you mean?"

"As in let's promise each other we'll be improved the next time we see each other." Okami nodded, rubbing his eyes."I promise to grow stronger. You?"

Okami thought for a second, then finally blurted,"I wanna be more of a man, like my father."

I smiled,"Good luck to both of us then!" Okami smiled back at me. "Oh yeah! Okami, close your eyes." Like a good boy, he closed his eyes. I put my hand on his forehead, left his amber bangs, and pecked a kiss on his forehead. I held until he pulled away.

"Wh-Whaa?! What was that?!" He barked. He had his hand on his forehead, and either he was blushing or was crying to much, but his face grow red.

I sighed,"You opened your eyes didn't you? It was a good luck charm." I leaned in, close to him,"Now. You give me one." He still had a red face, and shook his head. I left my silver white bangs and closed my dark brown eyes. For a moment, I couldn't few anything, so I thought he chickened out. I was just about to open my eyes when he kissed my forehead. Unlike me, he pulled away so it wasn't s long as mine to him. I opened my eyes,"Now...Was that bad?"

He turned his head from me, with his hand to his mouth,"Sh-Shuddup."

I smiled at him, and put my arms around him,"Man, I'm SO going to miss your cuteness Okami!" I hugged him tighter. He let out moans, and tried to get out of my grasp. I just laughed at him.

Present ...~

I smiled at the memory of Okami. I remembered his cute little shape. His amber hair, and his ocean-like, aqua eyes. I smiled happily at the thought of seeing him again. 'Wonder if he changed into a man?' I thought,'I kinda hope not. I wanna see the cute little Okami from the past once more.'

"Hey, ah, dad? Can I go and say hi to my friends?" I asked my father. We just got home to our little hut. Arata had already went to see Hana. When he would pick on Okami for being protected by me, I'd always poke at him about Hana. Hana was a little younger that me and Arata. I think she's thirteen a year younger than me and Arata.

"I guess...Just come home before dark, okay?" My father huffed,"Better not be that wolf's son-"

"Sit boy," my mother barked,"Grow up Inuyasha! It's Sekito's friend! Not yours!"

I smiled, nervously,"Umm...Can I go?"

"No! You ca-" Started my father.

"Sit! Yes!" Yelled my mother. I slipped away when my mother and father fought about Okami and his father, Kouga.

"Okami! Where are you!?" I yelled. I was at the river we used to play around, looking around for Okami. I sighed,'Okami, once I find you, I'm going to hug you so tight that it mite even kill you, right here and now...' I thought with malice. I could feel a dark aura floating around me. Something behind me snapped, so I turned quickly to see what it was. A little girl was standing behind a tree, scared. I sighed,"You scared me, you know that? It's okay,"I squatting,"I'm not going to her you."

The girl shook her head, hugging the tree,"You shouldn't be here. Oka is going to be angry."

I asked,"Oka's strong right?"

"Yeah...I guess..."

"So if I don't go, he'll fight me right?" I asked, happy as I can be. The girl nodded, going closer to the tree. Suddenly, her eyes widened, staring past me. I turned my head to see a wolf demon boy. He had dark amber hair, and aqua colored eyes. He had on a baggy, sleeveless, cloth shirt with wolf fur on his shins, waist, forearm, and his shoulders. He looked older then me, but not by much. I was shorter than him, but only about an inch or two.

He glared at me,"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

I stood up, growing happier every moment I stared at him,"Your Oka, right?! You're strong, right?! Fight me!" I was pretty much jumping up and down with each jump, my silver white hair, which is now at the mid-part of my back, jumped as well.

Oka stared at me in deep thought. Then he saw the little girl behind the tree,"Kara! What did I say about coming into the forest by yourself?!" The little girl stiffened,"Go back home! Now!" Te little girl let go of the tree, and took off toward the mountains. He turned back to me,"Now...For the question."

I smirked,"I'm just someone who can kick your butt from north to south."

He glared at me,"Who the hell are you?!"

I shuttered,"Sek-Sekito!"

He stared at me. Just stared at me and then put a hand on his face,"Sekito? You said Sekito, right?"

"Ye-yeah..." I yelped. I could hear him sniffle after I said that. My happiness got closer and closer to the end,"H-hey...You okay there?"

He wiped his face with his hand,"He-hey Sekito. It's me, Okami."

"EHHH!?" I yelled
