The journey..(Ghost, Ashley*Pups*, Arumi,Aoto)

[AshWolf]

Ashley rose early. She shook the pups. Akkina woke up. "What?" Ashley picked her up. "Ghost get Dachio." Ashley carried Akkina to the Northern Plains. Akkina looked around. "Where are we?" Ashley looked around. "The Northern Plains." She put Akkina down. "We can rest here." Akkina wagged her tail. "Where are we going?" Ashley smiled. "Home." Akkina tilted her head. "I thought that was home?" Ashley smirked. "No, our territory." Akkina nodded. "Oh."

[Ghøšt]

Ghost woke up a bit sleepy still. He picked up Dachio who was still sleeping. "Cmon wake up Dachio were going home" he said softly. Dachio woke up "dad where's home?" he asked yawning. Ghost smiled its a beautiful place where you can live. Dachio yawned again as Ghost dropped him next to Akkina. Ghost looked at both of them "we can rest for awhile" he said looking across the plains.

[AshWolf]

Ashley nodded. "So close to it." She smiled. "Only one thing missing." Ashley looked at Akkina and Dachio. "We haven't been completely honest with you guys." Ashley smirked, "We are alphas of a pack." Akkina jumped around. "Really?! Awsome!" Ashley smiled. "Yes, so you guys are like royalty." Akkina pounced her brother. "So like I can be a hunter!" Ashley looked at Akkina. "Um, sure."

Aoto was moving rather swiftly through the plains, just as usual. He never really took the time to admire the northern plains before but perhaps over time he'd come to appreciate it but for now it was just another run. The best he could think of that'd be of at least something of interest was meeting others out here. With his sight in his good eye he spotted a few others that he never knew. Aoto thought it'd be nice to go and introduce himself... maybe.

With a leap and bound he was closing the distance and stopped just short of them and immedietly sat down with a smile plastered across his face. "Greetings everyone, thought I'd never see anyone else out here" He laughed a little as he blinked. He knew that they'd know he was blind in his other eye due to the deep visible scar. Now he was hoping that they wouldn't attack him because of him running towards them.. at the least they'd think he was a rather strange wolf for personality and the markings.

[AshWolf]

Arumi padded in the plains. A scent of her mate came to her nose and others. One other scent was familiar. "What? It can't be?!" She ran to where she saw Aoto and others. The brown female looked familar. "Ashley? Mate? Pups?" Arumi ran towards them. She padded towards Ashley. "Is it really you?"

Ashley was surprised to see two wolves out here. One of them approached her. "Me? Uh.." Ashley reconized that face. "Arumi? Wow!" Ashley jumped with joy. Arumi wagged her tail a bit. "What are you doing here- I mean it's great to see ya!" Arumi smiled. "Yeah, it is!" She padded to Aoto. "Aoto this is my childhood gang friend, Ashley. Ashley, my mate Aoto."

Ashley smiled. "Well, Ghost this is Arumi. Arumi meet my mate Ghost and my pups Dachio and Akkina."

[Ghøšt]

Ghost looked at Arumi then Aoto "nice to meet you was everyone once in a gang?" he said laughing. Dachio looked up at the two wolves they smelled funny to him. He padded a little closer to Aoto and narrowed his eyes at him. He started to growl at them. Ghost looked down at Dachio "whats wrong Dachio" he said pulling the pup back closer to him.

[AshWolf]

Ashley watched Dachio. "Dachio, don't be rude to guests." Akkina looked at Aoto's eye. "His eye looks funny." Ashley looked at Akkina. "Akkina! What did I tell your brother?" Akkina put her ears down. "I'm so sorry about that."

Arumi watched the pups. "It's quite alright." She put her head in front of Akkina. "How are you?" Akkina bit Arumi's face. Arumi fell back and Akkina hopped off and hid behind her dad. "Akkina! Go sit on that hill!" Akkina sat on the hill. Ashley smiled. "I'm sorry."

[ranine]

"nice to meet you was everyone once in a gang?"

Aoto wasn't apart of any gang before so he wouldn't know many others because of it. "I was never apart of a gang before, at one point though I was thinking about joining up with a friend of mine... but things have changed since I met my beloved mate, Arumi" He could help but smile, Aoto was being completely honest.

He looked at the wolf that Arumi introduced to him, "Greetings Ashley, tis a pleasure to meet you" He bowed towards the brown wolf and then bowed to Ghost as a respectful greeting. "You seem to have interesting pups Ashley, bless their hearts" He spoke softly and then looked at Akkina and decided to pad his way over to her. "Akkina, how are you?" He tried to ask as kindly as he could, Aoto's curiousity got the best of him and he decided to see how the pup was doing.

[AshWolf]

Ashley nodded back at Aoto. "The pleasure is all mine." She watched Arumi. "So, how's the gang?" Arumi looked down. "Well, I got kicked out so I don't know." Ashley nodded. "Well, I think it was for the best. Gangs are terrible." Arumi growled. "Why did you quit? You were the best one out there!" Ashley looked around. "Not now Arumi." Arumi growled.

Akkina looked at Aoto. "Hi, I'm in trouble, so I must sit on this hill until mom says I can come back." Akkina layed down. "Mom says were going to a new home, in Hokiro territory and they are alphas there."

[Ghøšt]

Ghost decided to go for a stroll with Dachio to talk to him. Ghost looked at Ashley "Ill be back" he said pushing Dachio foward. Dachio kept his eyes on Aoto growling. Ghost looked down at Dachio "whats wrong Dachio?" he asked padding alongside him. Dachio looked at his dad "have you ever had the feeling that someones a bad guy" he asked looking down. "When I saw him a chill went down my spine" he said softly. Ghost looked at Dachio and sighed "all I can tell you is to follow your insticts but use your senses. Ghost laughed a little and started padding back.

[ranine]

"Hi, I'm in trouble, so I must sit on this hill until mom says I can come back."
"Mom says were going to a new home, in Hokiro territory and they are alphas there."

...

He was interested in the pup, she was sweet to say the least. "Interesting, your lucky to have a mother and father that love you" He smiled at her "Is there something wrong with me? something you don't like? I won't be mad at you, I just want an honest answer" He asked her wondering what Akkina may say. His eyes looking over the pup. Hopefully Ashley wouldn't mind him talking to Akkina despite what she said about him earlier.

[AshWolf]

Akkina looked at Aoto. She then looked down. "Well, you want my honest answer." Akkina sighed. "Me and my brother get a bad feeling around you and Arumi." Akkina looked straight. "I don't like Arumi and Dachio doesn't like you." Akkina put her head down. "Sorry Aoto, I'm a bit screwed up from what I saw." She shook her head. "I met face to face with death. Or I saw a wolf get murdered."

Ashley looked back at Akkina and Aoto. She smiled at them. "Bonding."

[Ghøšt]

Ghost looked at Dachio "go back to your mother" he said as he looked back at Akkina and Aoto. Dachio dashed back to Ashley and sat quietly beside her. Ghost padded over to Akkina and looked at Aoto "is everything fine here she ain't giving you any problems is she?" he said with a glance back to make sure Dachio went back to Ashley.

[ranine]

He looked at Ghost, "No, she isn't giving me any problems... all I asked her was for a very honest answer and nothing more really. I'd rather have others tell me what they really think of me instead of sugar coating it with kindness, sure if someone thinks of me in a kind way ok, but if someone's got a problem with me... they can just tell me" thats all Aoto wanted to say to Ghost. What Akkina said was beginning to trouble him but he wouldn't speak of it with Arumi yet.

"Thank you Akkina for answering my question" He bowed towards the pup before turning most of his attention to Ghost. "I'm not such a bad guy when you get to know me, though my appearance is how should I say, off... anyways how is the day treating you Ghost?" Aoto asked in a very polite voice.

(OOC: sorry for the short post, my muse is very low at the moment)

[AshWolf]

Ashley called Akkina back. Akkina sat by her brother. Then she nudged him and whispered. "Come with me, we need to talk." Akkina hid behind a bush. "Something is wrong. Arumi scares me."

Ashley smiled at Arumi. "You know we are alphas of the Hokiro territory. Were heading there now. You two should come with us." Arumi smiled. "Of course, yes. I must discuss with Aoto."
