Kegawa nods.
"I feel like a weight was just lifted from my shoulders."

Unari lays still, the only sign showing he's still alive is his breathing.

"****!" Aika curses. She then does the only thing she knows to do, she howls.

Miku hears Aika's howling. "I wonder what's going on?"

Kegawa stands and helps Miku to her feet.
"I don't know, but the howl was urgent. Come on." she says, limping off to where Aika is.

Miku follows Kegawa.

Kegawa gets to Aika and Unari. She gasps in surprise at the sight of Unari unconscious.
"What happened?!" she says.

Kiba hears all the yelling and heads towards the group to see Unari out cold.

"I don't know! I don't know! He complained he was in pain!" Aika says.

Kegawa looks at Aika.
"Calm down. Panicking won't help."

Kiba knelt beside Unari. He looked at the collar before standing.
"Was he complaining about his collar at all?" Kiba asks solemnly.

"Don't tell me not to panic! He's my mate!" Aika yells. After getting her bearings she anwsers Kiba, "Yes. It was hurting him."

Kiba nods.
"I see. He's still breathing, and should wake up soon."

Aika begins to calm down and sighs in relief.

Miku smiles to herself.

Kiba heads off to find food, and Kegawa follows.
"Hey Miku! Want to come with us?" Kegawa calls.

Unari's collar beeps a few times.

"Sure!" Miku says running up to them.

"I'll stay with Unari." Aika says sitting beside him.

The three disappear over the horizon.

Unari begins to awake. He holds his head as he sits up. He sees nobody at first, but finally sees Aika.
"A-aika?" he coughs.

"Unari? A-Are you ok?" Aika asks tears brimming in her eyes.

"My vision's a bit blurry, but I think I'm okay." Unari says. He sees Aika's tears and embraces her. "I must of worried you so much."

"No, no. I'm fine..." Aika sobs a little.

Unari embraces her.
"I'm so sorry, Aika."

Aika smiles, "Thank you"

Unari gives her a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm okay now. See?" he says.

"I'm happy about that." Aika says.

Unari smiles and nods.
"Good. I want Aika to be happy, not sad." he says.

"How do you think the others are?" Aika asks.

Unari looks around.
"I was wondering why they had disappeared."

"They went hunting a little while ago." Aika explains.

Unari nods.
"I see." He leans back against the cave wall and closes his eyes.

"I don't scent anything." Miku says.

Unari drifts off a bit, hoping Aika doesn't flip and think he's passing out.

Kiba shakes his head.
"I don't either. Kegawa?" he asks, turning to the other girl.

Kegawa looks at him.
"There's a faint trace of buffalo."

Aika leans beside Unari to guard him, should something happen.

"Meh, I'm sick of buffalo. Let's go for a deer or a horse or something." Miku says.

Kegawa nods and scents the air. She hears hooves and turns to see a few horses grazing on the lush vegetation. She smiles.
"You're wish was granted."

Unari drifts off finally into the dream world. The dream is instantly a nightmare.

"Yay!" Miku runs in the direction of the horses alerting the whole herd. "Oops..." Miku says ashamed.

Aika senses something is wrong with Unari but doesn't know what.

Kiba takes off at top speed and sends one of the horses toward Miku.

Unari tosses and turns a bit. He groans softly, but it soon turns into yells of panic as fire and blood fill his vision.

Miku pounces toward the horse but misses. She then takes off after it.

"Unari? What's wrong?" Aika asks unaware if he can hear her or not.

Kiba races in front of Miku, turning the horse back toward her.

Unari yells again in fright. He can't seem to wake up. He sees blood on his paws and fire licking at his pelt.

Miku jumps on the horse to bring it down.

Aika begins to shake Unari in attempt to awake him.

Kiba nods approval.

Unari feels someone shaking him and he shoots awake, banging his head on the cave wall. His hands were red with blood for his nails had cut into his palms.

Miku tears off a leg and begins to drag it back to Unari and Aika.

"Unari... You scratched yourself bloody. I'll go fetch some water for you." Aika says with worry in her tone.

Unari wipes his hands on his pant legs, staining them red. He rubs the back of his head from smacking it against the cave wall, staing a section of his blond hair red.
"I'm fine." he says.

Kiba and Kegawa carried the rest of the horse together.

"Unari, you ruined your beautiful hair." Aika laughs.

Unari smiles and chuckles.
"Did I? Oh my." he says.

"Yes you did." Aika says playfully ruffleing his hair.

Unari smiles and laughs.
"Gomen. I know how you love my blond hair." he teases.

Aika smiles, "Yes, I do." She leans up against the cave wall to rest.

Unari smiles and lays back against the cave wall, his arm wrapped around Ami, hugging her to him.

Aika snuggles up against Unari sighing deeply.

Unari smiles and kisses Aika lightly on her head.

Aika smiles and looks into Unari's eyes.

OOC: WTF color is Unari's eyes???!!???

OOC: Green.

Unari looks at Aika and smiles.
"I love you, Aika."

OOC: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Aika's are red.

Aika blushes and whispers, "I love you too, Unari."

OOC: red eyes are amazing.

Unari smiled softly. He gave her a gentle hug.

OOC: She's albino.

Aika stays silent accepting the hug.

"Hey guys!" Miku says walking up to them.
