New Beginnings

-loki nods- "if bodolf has any brains she will be perfectly fine"

-bodolf tilts his head slightly- "now that seemed a bit more like a soft command"

-Lady nodding as he gently nuzzles Lucky-

"dont make me do this Bodolf. Come. Home." -Okami narrowing her eyes a little-

-bodolf perks his ears standing with a paw still on the deer- "do what?"

-loki sniffles- "i just want her happy"

-Okami snarling as she charges at Bodolf and pins him down, digging her claws into him as she bares her teeth- "Come home with me now. "

"me too" -Lady sniffling a little-

-bodolf yelps as he squirms lifting his head trying to call out-

-loki nods with a sniffle- "i just hope she succeeds"

"She will. She is our baby girl" -Lady nodding as she watches the pups yawn-

-Okami snarling as she bites onto the scruff of his neck- I will drag you back

-loki nods- "good point"

-bodolf tries to squirm in an attempt to get free looking around- "let me go"

"These guys are lovely.." -Lady smiling as she watches the pups play-

-Okami snarling as she places her paw on his muzzle- "Shut up

-bodolf gulps as he looks at her paw becoming still and silent giving a nod-

-loki nods in agreement- "yes they are"

"You are coming home. And you are in so much trouble" -Okami growling as she bites onto the scruf of his neck and starts to drag him back to the village-

-Lady smiling as Luna giggles and paws at her-

-bodolf remains still letting her drag him with a gulp as he looks around- "w... what are you going to do to me?"

-loki chuckles as he watches-

"Depends. Just shut up" -Okami snarling as she drags him into the village and over to the kennels, dragging him inside one she kicks the door shut and then locks it-

"I can see why you are so happy here Loki.." -Lady wagging her tail as she watches Loki Jr dive on Lucky-

-loki chuckles with a nod- "yeah. It is amazing"

-bodolf gets up and rams the door- "no! No! No! Let me out!"

-Okami baring her teeth as she scrapes her claws against the bars and looks at him- "Whatever happens between you and me. You NEVER leave our pups without a father. Understand?! You walk out again. And you will Never be allowed back. You will be banished from the village and seeing me, and the pups. This is your last chance"

"I am glad. You deserve this" -Lady glancing at Loki as she lowers her ears- "I am so sorry about what I said... I was angry.. upset and confused. I know that is not an excuse. But I am so sorry"

-bodolf jumps back looking at her claws with a gulp- "let me out" -he then lowers his ears looking at her- "or... or are you holding me in here for now?"

-loki sighs- "how about we forget that and just start over"

"Answer me" -Okami growling as she scrapes her claws again against the bars- "Do you understand?!"

"you sure?" -Lady eyeing him as she perks her ears-

-loki nods- "we are here for okami now."

- bodolf steps back watching her claws with a gulp as he nods-

"We are" -Lady smiling as she lays her head beside the pups-

-Okami sniffling as she leans her head against the bars and whispers- "Do you like hurting me?"

-loki yawns-

-bodolf shakes his head looking at okami-

"Bodolf.." -Okami sighing as she keeps her eyes closed- "You are my equal Bodolf. That is why I am not fond of you bowing to me. We are meant to be partners"

-bodolf sits looking at okami-

"Say something." -Okami moving her head away from the bars as she looks at Bodolf-

-bodolf keeps looking at her- "like what?"

"i don't know. Tell me how you feel" -Okami shrugging as she eyes Bodolf-

-bodolf glances around as he speaks- "how do you think I feel right now? You really rhink I was trying to leave you? If I was I would not be wearing my owner's scarf still"
