New Beginnings

-Scarlet narrowing her eyes as she unlocks the cage door and pins Bodolf down, putting the muzzle back on as she speaks firmly and grips the muzzle- "I have no idea what has gotten into you. But you are defying me and acting out. And I will not stand for it."

-Okami's tail slowing down as she starts to relax, yawning quietly she nuzzles his hand gently-

-josh smiles as he whispers- "softie girl"

-bodolf huffs laying still watching her grip on the muzzle-

"Shush before I eat your hand." -Okami smiling a little as she wags her tail slightly-

"Bad boy, Bodolf. " -Scarlet attaching the leash to the muzzle she chains the leash to the wall-

-bodolf lays still under her watching as his ears lower-

-josh smiles as he holds her paw closing his eyes- "scarlet and bodolf both love you so much... they would never have let him harm you"

-Okami sighing as she closes her eyes and licks Josh's hand softly-

"Bad." -Scarlet standing she frowns and Bodolf and walks out the cage, locking the door-

-josh keeps humming softly laying with her-

-bodolf lays still staring at the chain-

-Scarlet walking back Into her house she watches Josh with a smile as Okami relaxes, slowly falling asleep-

-josh looks at scarlet- "you locked him up?"

"Yup." -Scarlet sitting on the sofa she sips her wine and looks at Josh- "You are adorable. Thanks for getting her to calm down"

-josh nods- "you sound so casual about locking bodolf up. is... is he really that much of a threat now?"

"No idea. But until that little shit calms down he is staying in the kennels with a muzzle on" -Scarlet leaning back she sniffles and wipes her eyes- "I.. i am worried. I don't want him around anyone. He went.. nuts in that cabin"

-josh nods looking at scarlet- "you... you don't want him around? you... you can't mean that"

"Josh.." -Scarlet sighing as she grips her glass and looks down- "You didn't see him before. And plus it was hard to control him.. he didn't listen to me and growled at me. He needs to calm down"

-josh nods- "exactly... you... you can't just abandon him... he... he loves you and okami"

"If I let him in here. He will go for you because you are touching Okami. And I will not have him hurt anyone I love." -Scarlet mumbling as she finishes her wine-

-josh shakes his head- "not when he has cooled off... who knows what he did to her... who knows if okami told him... the only thing we know is if you could not control him that human did something to okmai... s... something that deeply hurt bodolf"

"Fine." -Scarlet puting her glass down she walks outside and heads over to the kennels, unlocking Bodolf's door she walks in and takes the muzzle off- "Go to Okami. But if you growl at, or harm any human in this village. You are right back in here. Understood?"

-bodolf perks his ears looking up at scarlet before jumping up and running into the house instantly laying on the other side of okami nuzzling into her fur completely ignoring josh-

-josh nervously watches bodolf as he remains perfectly still with a gulp-

-Scarlet heading back inside she sits on the sofa and folds her arms-

"B..bodolf..?" -Okami slowly waking as she wags her tail a little, whining quietly- "D..did he take our babies? He said he was gonna sell them.."

-bodolf shakes his head as he cries softly- "no my goddess, they... they are safe now... i... i will never let you go out alone ever again"

-josh looks at scarlet slowly letting okami's paw go sitting up-

"It is my fault.. not yours my prince." -Okami whining as she nuzzles Bodolf and paws at Josh's hand gently- "Don"t go.. Josh. Bodolf he really helped me before. I want him to stay"

-bodolf bows his head to okami- "as my goddess wishes" -he then barks at josh-

-josh looks at bodolf then to scarlet a little confused-

"Okami wants you to stay beside her" -Scarlet smiling a little as Okami sniffles and nuzzles Bodolf- "The dart he shot me with started to die off.. so i bit his arm. Tried to fight back. But then i felt the dart again.. I hope the pups are okay.. I..i tried my best"

-josh gulps a little- "b... but bodolf?"

-bodolf licks okami's muzzzle- "you did your best my goddess, you didn't let him take them. you did amazing"

"I told him if he growls or bites you he is going back in the kennels." -Scarlet shrugging as she takes her book out while Okami wags her tail and smiles a little- 'I thought I was gonna pop.. these pups like moving around a lot"
