waiting

Roku looked at the two females, one a pup one his age.he knew the pup a little,but he never saw the beautiful she-wolf he sighed.

Rain jumped on a dead doe"you are nice..."rain said.

Nekoda grinned softly. "Thank you, you are too," she told Rain, looking at the pup. She heard an exhale somewhere, but just assumed it was Rain.

Rain looked to where roku was"come out."she said to him.

Roku knowing how whight his fur was and how gray his eyes where,yelped when he stepped out into the light,he wished he was darker.

Nekoda looked at Rain strangely before following her gaze to a white-pelted male. His gray eyes looked slightly nervous, and a small smile twitched Nekoda's lips. He was cute.

Rain walked over to roku and pushed him towards nekoda"this is roku,hes kind of shy."rain said "he taght me everything i know.".

Nekoda stepped forward, eyes sparking. "Hello Roku, I'm Nekoda," she introduced herself. "Thank you for teaching Rain."

"It wasnt easy,i had to scare away bears and bring her hear to raise her,that was two months ago."roku admitted quietly.

"Its true!"rain yelled showing her teardrop shaped spot on her forehead that she hides.

"That's quite brave of you," Nekoda told him before turning to look at Rain, noticing the marking. "That's beautiful Rain."

"Its how he named me..."rain said

Roku turned around"i better go back to my corner..."he said.

Nekoda nodded at Rain. "Sweet," she listened to Roku. "Wait, why?" she called to him. She wanted him to stay... but wouldnt admit it.

"Oh...people dont like me"roku said.

"No its not sweet!im not sweet!i STEAL! Its not even rokus fault!i was born to steal!"rain yelled,she started crying,she WAS born a theif,a RAIN THEIF to be exact it was why she ran away from the rain theives pack,she didnt like to steal,but it was in her blood.

Nekoda looked at Rain, stunned. She quickly shook herself and shrugged. "So?" she simply asked. Then she shook her head at Roku. "We like you."

"So im a theif,so you dont think thats a big deal? Well..I guess if it was genes then its not so much of a big deal...i dont even like to steal."rain siad,loudly

Roku walked and sat down next to nekoda.

Nekoda sighed, tired. She started to lean on Roku, but stopped herself and muttered an apology. "Rain, if stealing is in your genes then it is okay. I dont want you in danger is all," she told the pup.

rain yawned and curled up and fell asleep.

roku sighed and got a deer pelt and covered rain he looked at nekoda"she has very short fur."he said

Nekoda nodded, walking over and nuzzling Rain. "goodnight," she whispered before turning to Roku.

Roku smiled looking at rain"you know,I was worried she got lost somewhere,she came back here after two weeks.She normally goes away for an hour,and then comes back,so it was scary when she did not come back."he said after eating a dove.

"Do you know where she went?" Nekoda asked, curious.

"no,I dont know,she probebly went to visit her friend 'jackie'"he said,he said the name jackie disgustedly.

"Who's Jackie?" she asked, walking to his side.

"shes a wolf that lives in miles city,so pretty much a wolf that lives whith humans"roku said.

Nekoda crinkled her nose slightly. "Gross. Humans," she spit.

"nice to know someone agrees whith me."roku said.

Nekoda smiled, giggling. "Hard to find someone who agrees nowadays, right?"

"right,but theres only one human I trust,and I raised her!"roku said.
