Aki's head turned to look at everyone else. They seemed in shock of his decision but it didn't suprise him. He gave a huffled sigh as he stepped forward past Tokimune as his eyes turned to Makoto for a moment. His ears went forward as his head turned to Tokimune, small tears forming in his eyes. "Heh. I can't stand to see you hurt." He laughed, more in pain than friendly.
His tear shed now down his cheek as he shook his head. His attention now to Blue and Rae. "It's for the better Rae." He said calmly as he started walking next to Rin. "Thats just it Blue. I want no killing involed if it means you guys getting hurt." He gave a weak smile as Blue winked at him for a moment. "Listen up! From now on your Leader is Tokimune!" He barked at the dogs, another tear streaking down his face.
He shook it away as he turned to Rin. He gave a long stare at her, as he began to move in unisin with the she-dog. He was crying now, hot salty tears running down his cheeks. His head was bowed, trying not to show his enemy he was crying.

Rae shook her head, Tears beginning to form in her own eyes. How could a kid so small be so brave? She felt ashamed, because she wasn't sure if she would even do that.. For the sake of blue, You would... She knew if it was for Blue she would have.. but not for dogs she had just met, Why would he do this for Her or Blue? She shook her head. clenching her teeth she lifted her head up, "You tell Ashi, You tell that bastard, We'll kill him!" She growled, Resisting the urge to lunge after Rin as they dissapeared through the brush.
Blue smiled weakly and Turned to Tokimune. He was at a loss,every instinct in his body told him they couldn't sit here and watch as Aki left, He was at a loss for words.. "Well.. Leader.." He said, his voice oddly hard. "What next?" the question was going to be hard for all of them.
Rae clenched her teeth and looked down and away. "To Hokkaido." She said, recalling Makoto and her conversation just minutes before.

A faint sound of barks arose across the dogs, and shadowed figures of more dogs, came across the horizon. "Did you think that I left!?" P-4 barked, with a crowd of dogs behind him. He stopped reaching the other dogs, but didnt see Aki or Rin. "Whats up?" P-4 muttered.

Rin walked further into the forest wih aki,then turned around,she slowly sat down, and had a stressed look on her face then she barked "Aki, i took you because..well..do you want to see your father?" She then tilted her head and then said "Im going to take care ofyou, there islots of foodin the southern alps,and where ashi goes...so i will take care ofyou...im still on your side" she looked around making sure no one is looking as she hung her head close to aki's

Aki's ears gave a small prick as the dog spoke to him. His feelings were shaky as was his trust with Rin. He tried to say something but the squeaks of crying escaped his maw. He turned his head toward Rin, as with his eyes. "Of...course..." He stammered, voice shaky with tears as they began to flow faster down his muzzle and cheeks.
Right now, he couldn't care if she was evil or not, he needed something, or someone. "A-alright."

"Heh. I can't stand to see you hurt." The sound of Aki's voice made Tokimune's heart break. After that was said he shook his head, as if to clear his thoughts. "Listen up! From now on your Leader is Tokimune!" He simply nodded, watching the pup who had tears rolling down the sides of his face. Tokimune closed his eyes as Aki, walked away with Rin. He wanted to go after him so badly. But from the look in the pups eye's, he could tell that he wanted to go. Tokimune was proud of Aki, that he was so brave for them all. But also scared, scared that somethign might happen and he wouldnt be there to protect him.
"Well.. Leader.." "What next?" He head Blue speak to him. He turned his head to look at him. He paused for a moment. "We are going to get him back." He said with great ambition. "But first, we will need to gather more forces." He watched as p-4 returned with some more dogs. "Blue, do you know of any packs we can ask help from?"

Blue looked at Tokimune and dipped his head. "As my sister said, Hokkaido." He nodded in the direction of the mountains. "Its a good week of a run." He said, "But there are caves to shelter from the snow." he added, His feet were itching to leave, "But We need to eat before we go there. The only prey in the mountains are the goats, and they can jump and run on the sheer cliffs quite easily in places where we would fall, its almost too risky to hunt there." He informed.
Rae lifted her head again, "The Four sons of Hakuro and their followers live there. Only one of the sons lead, Jinjin." she said, walking to her brothers side.

Aki's head looked up as the large dog licked his head. He watched as she laid down to wipe away his tears for awhile. "I know that. I won't let that bastard touch me. He snarled, trying to be brave. He already missed Tokimune, Makoto, Rae and Blue. He gave a sniffle as he pricked his ears to see if he could hear anyone else. No more voices beside Rin and himself.

Tokimune listened to Blue closely. "As my sister said, Hokkaido." Tokimune looked in the direction BLue had pointed, then he looked back. [i]"Its a good week of a run." "But there are caves to shelter from the snow." "But We need to eat before we go there. The only prey in the mountains are the goats, and they can jump and run on the sheer cliffs quite easily in places where we would fall, its almost too risky to hunt there." [/i] He nodded. Then listened as Roe began to speak aswell. "The Four sons of Hakuro and their followers live there. Only one of the sons lead, Jinjin." He nodded again. Taking in all the information that they had just told him.
"Alright, we will set off in five hours. In that time we will hunt for food for now. Then meet back here." He looked around at everyone. He could see that they were all anxious as he was to get Aki back. "Are these brothers friendly to outsiders?"

Blue was starting to head off into the forest, he looked back at Tokimune, a smile on his face, "It depends on your reasoning, but I will tell you this, These dogs are true soldiers and are always up for a good fight." He said before dissapearing beyond the trees, Once in the shadows his exterior crumpled and a look of agony crossed his features. It had taken every ounce of self control to not run after Aki, he had disobeyed his instincts, and that was going to take some getting used to.
Rae walked back towards Makoto, "Want to hunt with me?" She asked, a trace of sorrow, anger, and pity in her voice. She was sorrowful for the loss of Aki, angry at him that he had done such a thing, And pitied Tokiumne for he seemed to be taking it the hardest.

As they left, Haru heard Rin promising Aki that she wouldn't hurt him. This fired her up with rage and frustration. 'Not hurt him!?' she thought as she narrowed her eyes at Rin, 'You were supposed to fucking take him by force, not /lead/ him!' Rin looked too convincing; she had better be lying.
Her eyes shifted to the 'pack', which barely consisted of ten soldiers. She saw Tokimune cry, then immediately recognized he was the Iga dog she had spied on in the shed a day ago. 'He had gotten better already!? Damnit,' she thought, attempting to arise, an innocent look slapped on her face.
"I-I'm so sorry...I tried to stop her, but..." she glanced at the wound on her leg. "My leg hurts so bad...That Ashi is a bastard, is there anything I can do to help rescue your friend?" she sniffled, before collapsing as if she had no energy left. "I...I tried...." she murmured, half-closing her eyes. "And...I'd like to help..."
Makoto stared at Rin until she was plain out of sight. He noticed tears were streaming down his face, too. Not just for Aki, who bravely went with her, but for Rin, who wasn't the same pup he once knew. He let out a small growl and heard Rae's question. His eyes gazed upon her, and he slowly nodded.
"Yeah...Let's hunt." he murmured before looking at Tokimune. "Err, wait here real quick," he added to Rae before padding to Tokimune and sitting down next to him.
"Tokimune," he sighed, "Are you...Okay?" He understood how close he and Aki were, and he guessed how painful it must've felt for the Kishu/Husky mix. Not only were they comrades and teacher-and-student, but they were close friends, he knew, who often talked and such. He felt bad it had to be Aki, but he knew Tokimune would want it to be him instead. 'Why does it have to be like this...?' he thought, eyes clouded with sorrow.
Makoto glanced at Haru, who was attempting to get up. He hadn't really noticed her before, but he heard her, and found out she had tried to help stop Rin. "Uh?" he glanced at Tokimune as to whether they should let her help or not. Of course Makoto did; they needed all the dogs they could recruit at this time, even if they were injured like this Koga Nin-ken a few feet in front of them.

Tokimune listened to what Blue had said."It depends on your reasoning, but I will tell you this, These dogs are true soldiers and are always up for a good fight." He watched as he went into the woods. "They seem like the perfect addition to our ranks." He sat down staring at the direction Rin had taken Aki.
His ears perked as he heard Makoto coming over to him. He turned his head to face him. "Tokimune," Are you...Okay?" He closed his eyes and sighed. "I am fine..... I wont let my emotions cause any danger for anyone else. I will save them for when I confront that bastard Ashi, and I will tare his throat out." He said with a calm and determined tone. He hurt inside. But would not let his emotions drive him to do saomething risky. Not at this moment.
His ears perked as he heard someone else. He looked over to see a Koga dog. He tilted his head in confusion. I thought they were all on Ashi's side. He thought to himself. She seemed to be injured, and was saying that she would like to help. He was already questioning her in his mind. "So... Ashi gave you those wounds?" He gave her a skeptical look.
