The girl looks at them confused. "Can you talk?" She asks both of them. Miku stays silent. The girl walks over to the driver's side of the truck. Whoever is in there whispers for her to do something. She gets something out of the truck, which appears to be a gun. The girl walks over to Miku and points the gun at her. She is clearly distressed and crying. "Daddy says we need food... I'm sorry wolfy..."

Keita shakes his head and sheilds Miku.
"Don't. Touch. Her." He snarls.

The girl flinches though Keita doesn't look like it, she can tell he is part animal. She has her finger positioned on the trigger. And for a few heart stopping seconds she just stares at them. Then she turns around her back to them. Her sobbing could be heard for a mile away. The girl sighs and drops the gun, turns around, and pets Miku softly. Miku stares into her eyes not sure what to do.

OOC: Here is a pic of the girl,

OOC: Very pretty girl.

Keita stands and places a hand on the girl's shoulder.
"You need food? I can help." He says.

"...No. I'm running away!" The girls dashes off into the woods. Miku stands for a few moments before giving chase.

"Miku! Let her go!" Keita calls.

Miku looks back and shakes her head. She feels as if she knows this girl somehow.

Keita shakes his head and runs after Miku.

Miku eventually catches up to the girl when she trips and falls. "D-don't hurt me!" She yells. "Shh. Just tell me what is your name?" Miku asks. "I-it's Nozomi..." The girl says. Miku sighs and gives her a look of sympathy.

Keita walks up behind Miku, panting.
"Geez, you run fast, Miku." He gasps.

"F-female wolves run faster than male wolves... Like yourself... um other wolfy." Nozomi says. Miku starts to walk away suddenly annoyed. "Wait!Can I come with you?" Nozomi aks clinging onto Miku's tail. Miku looks to Keita.

Keita nods.
"Unari shouldn't mind if she comes with. He's always said more company is better."

Nozomi climbs on to Miku's back and Miku starts to walk toward Aika and Unari.

Keita morphs to wolf form and trots ahead, his mangled, grey fur blowing in the wind.

Nozomi peers ahead at Keita. She seems to be afraid of him. Suddenly she gets an idea and jumps off Miku's back. Nozomi runs off and returns a short time later with the gun. "Thought we might need this... I just hope Daddy doesn't find us. He's a hunter."

Keita shivers a little at the sound of the word hunter, but he keeps going.

Nozomi wonders why Keita shivered. "What is you name?" She asks. "I'm Nozomi and I'm ten years old!" She says quite proud of her age

"Keita." Keita replies. He perks his ears as he hears slithering, and stops.

OOC: Can Nozomi transform into something other then a wolf?

Miku hears it as well and stops. Nozomi figures they just got tired and continues to walk. She steps on something that feels slimy... Whatever it is bites her foot. "Ouch!" Nozomi exclaims. She jumps ahead a few inches and picks up whatever bit her. "Hey guys! Look it's a snake!" Nozomi says. "Think we can eat it?"

OOC: Yes, she can.

Keira's eyes widen and he shakes his head.
"No! It's dangerous! Back away from it!" He barks and he tackles the snake. It bites his leg and he snaps its neck. Keita drops the snake and crumples, the snake having injected a heavy dose of poison into him.

OOC: Yay!

"Oh Keita... always going dramatic." Miku says. She walks up and examines his leg. Miku sees poison flow out of it. She gulps but remains strong. "Don't worry! I'll be right back!" Nozomi says trotting off.

Keita grits his teeth and whimpers.

Miku hears something walk up to them. She instictivly growls and looks up. A nine tailed fox girl stares back at them. The fox girl has a frightened look on her face.

OOC: Here is what the fox girl looks like,

Keita weakly opens his eyes before closing them, his breath almost ceasing.

The fox girl gives Miku a not very amused look. "Now I came here showing my true form and this is what I get?!" She says. "Now Keita stand still." The fox girl sits still and chants something. "There, the poison should be gone, Keita. Now I think you owe someone an apology, Miku." The fox girl says crossing her arms.

Keita sighs, taking a few deep breaths to recover.
"Thanks." he pants.

"I'm sorry. Thank you for helping Keita." Miku says. "You don't even know who I am do you?" The fox girl asks.

Keita mutters quietly.
"Nozomi?"

"Hehehe! Of course!" Nozomi says. "Well now that you know my true form you must die! ...Hahaha! Just kidding!" Miku looks over at Keita.

Keita smiles, his eyes fluttering open. He gets to his paws weakly and sits next to Miku.

"Well let's meet up with your friends!" Nozomi says. "Alright." Miku states getting up..

Keita gets to his paws and leads the group.

Unari smiles at the sight of Keita.
"Look Aika, there they are." he says.

"Yup. Hey who's that?" Aika asks. Nozomi hides her fox tails and fox ears and hides behind Miku.

Unari shrugs and takes Aika's hand in his, leading her towards the group.

"Hey!" Keita says with a smile.

Aika follows Unari to the group. "Hey, Keita!" Nozomi comes out from behind Miku in her human form. She waves to the strangers.

Unari smiles.
"You brought a friend. What's her name, Keita?" He asks.

Keita smiles.
"Nozomi."

Nozomi walks up to Unari and gives him a big hug. "I'm ten years old!" She states proudly.

Unari smiles happily.
"Nice to meet you. I'm fifteen." he chuckles.

"Yay! Do you know my daddy?" Nozomi asks.

Unari shakes his head.
"Afraid not. He a nice guy?" Unari asks with a smile.

"Oh yes! His name is Darcia." Nozomi smiles.

OOC: Dun dun dun!!!!

Kiba's head shot towards Nozomi, and he snarled a very low snarl.

Kegawa laid a hand on Kiba's shoulder.
"Kiba."

"I will not trust that girl." Kiba snarls.

Aika and Miku look at Kiba confused. Why would he snarl at a little girl? However Nozomi doesn't hear Kiba's snarl or his words. "Hey! Who's the white wolf? He's pretty!" Nozomi says pointing at Kiba.

EDIT: OOC: I'm back!

Kiba growled again.

Kegawa smiled sympathetically.
"This is Kiba."

OOC: WHOAH YOU'RE BACK!

OOC: Yay!

"I'm Nozomi. My name means 'hope'. What does you name mean?" Nozomi says petting Kiba on the head.

"Fang." Kiba growled.

Nozomi's feelings were hurt a little by Kiba's growling. She decided to back off, not wanting to provoke him. "I'm gonna go hunt!" Nozomi says striking a pose. She then runs off. Miku walks to Kiba, "WTF is wrong with you?! You don't growl at children!"

"We should make sure she stays safe, Aika." Unari says, running after.

Kiba snifs.
"Her father is a horrible man. Evil."

Aika nods and follows. She comes upon Nozomi who is sitting by the burnt body of an elk. "Do you like it?" Nozomi says in her childish voice. Aika looks at Unari.

"Why?" Miku asks.

Unari looks at Aika, giving her a look that said, this girl is dangerous, let's be careful.

"You wouldn't understand if I explained it." Kiba growled.
