So that didn’t go as planned, he laughed to himself. He felt at peace though. “Okami, don’t move around so much,” he chuckled, gripping onto her tighter. She was sitting on Znake’s shoulders, while he held onto her ankles so she didn’t fall. She rested on his head to balance herself. “Food!” she yelled, thrusting her fists into the air, giggling and almost falling backward. Znake chuckled again and pulled her higher onto his shoulders then continued to walk toward the hospital. “Stop being silly.” Suddenly, Haruka burst around the corner. “Hebikami-sama!” she yelle

It was dark inside the ruins, almost pitch black. Torimm struggled to see through the veil of shadow. She had just enough perception to make out the floor, roof and walls. Although she found herself constantly tripping over things. Or that could’ve just been her own feet. Damn this darkness, she mumbled to herself. And where is that idiot- “Torimm, what are you doing?” Torimm nearly screamed, it took all of her willpower not to. Instead all that came out was a little eeep! followed by a soft chuckle from somewhere in the darkness. “Don’t scare me like that!” she snapped, embarrassed by the foolish squee

The sun was low, casting a fiery golden light on the city in the distance. It had been a long day of questing, but the two adventurers had returned from the forest victorious. “So today wasn’t that bad,” pipped up Torimm, while shoving two whole slices of honeybread into her mouth to regain some stamina. “And we got a lot of decent loot.” Arcon nodded contently. Their day had yielded some surprising results. “I honestly thought that dungeon would’ve given us a bit more of a challenge,” he yawned, stretching his arms and then resting them behind his head. Torimm shrugged, still chewing. Open

The next three days moved by quickly and the second entrance exam for The Academy had arrived. Chasuki woke up early and was getting ready. She looked in the mirror. “Today's the day,” she said to herself adamantly. Her little heart fluttered and she could feel her stomach churn again. “It's okay,” she tried to reassure herself. “A little nerves is good.” And with her pep talk over she straightened her shirt, nodded at her reflection then set off. As she made her way down she stopped, hearing voices drifting up the staircase. She took a deep breath and continued her descent. Her grandfather and her dad

The next morning Znake stopped outside Okami’s door and quickly said a silent prayer that she would still be inside. He knocked, but no answer came. His heart jumped as he opened the door slowly. The room was still dark, most of the curtains were closed. His eyes rushed to the bed and to his relief she was still there, sound asleep. “Excuse me, Hebikami-sama,” came a voice from behind him. He turned around to see a young nurse carrying a tray of breakfast. At his gaze, the nurse looked away and blushed. “Um, the food…” was all she could manage and awkwardly waited for Znake to step out of the way. She we

Okami and Kage were escorted back to the hospital, while Chasuki and Ghost were taken back to their dorms by Haruka. Znake half expected the little girl to resist but she followed him willingly. She walked in front of him leisurely, not really showing any signs of fleeing. The large dog did the same, trotting behind the girl, occasionally sniffing whatever she pointed out. We finally got her…Man, she’s full of surprises, thought Znake as he watched Okami carefully, in case she tried anything. “So who're you?” Okami asked coming to walk next to Znake, looking up at him and wiggling her nose, like she was identifying h

While in the auto shop Okami was put to work by Jamie's uncle. It was mostly just carry this or pass me that. She didn't mind, as long as she could still listen to Jamie's stories. They were fascinating. He had journeyed all over the traveling world with his uncle, searching for parts for different machines. They even supplied the Mecha department here in Buten, whatever that was, but Jamie's uncle seemed to be proud of that so it was probably a big thing. “So how often are you on the road?” Okami asked as she helped Jamie lift something. “Every three months or so,” Jamie's uncle said from under the car. “Jamie

Another week went by before Okami finally woke up. It was a gradual awakening unlike last time. Her eyes blinked open a few times to get use to the lighting of the room. Once they had returned to normal focus they landed on a fluffy collection at her feet, who was sleeping peacefully. “Kage!” she screamed happily. Kage looked up and barked in return. He got up and licked Okami on the cheek, taking up almost the whole bed. “Ha ha, I missed you boy!” Okami gazed around at the room. The large windows on the far wall allowed the warm sunlight to stream in making it seem friendly and happy. “Where are-?” Oka
