A New Day

[hitobannofokkusu]

*Hitoban looked anxiously to the scene, then to Kage. Then she looked at Tsuki, uncertainty firm in her eyes.*

"I don't know if Dante knows that Dawn is friend. I don't think he'll let her pass."

*Dawn looked at Dante and flame burned her eyes with rage.*

"Of course I KNOW she's back there, I just need your permission to pass! I don't want to start a fight, so I thought I'd be nice. I had to keep an eye on Wahya to make sure he didn't do anything rash, so I didn't follow Hitoban. Also, I didn't follow her because Tsuki had come back, and I thought they could use some time alone. And another thing. I said I was her PROTECTOR, not her healer. I couldn't do anything to help her leg if I wanted to, and for your service I am thankful. However, it is important that I secure to myself that she is safe here, and to do that, I need to see her! I am not a threat, now let me pass. I swear to you that no harm will come to anyone back there. I will not hurt them, and I will protect them with my life."

[Tsukikage]

"Very well," Dante acquiesced, "your passion proves your words, let it not betray you."
With that, the puppet finally gave way and melted, Dante unable to hold the form. His mind returned to his body, but he did not move. He lay nearby, unconscious... again.

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Wahya looks at Dante and Dawn as they were around him, Wahya stands his ground not showing any signs of a attack or threat, "I am here to talk... not to make a problem..." Wahya spoke with a soft voice to let them know he meant no harm.

"Now where is Hitoban.... I need to speak with her...."

[hitobannofokkusu]

*Dawn turned and faced Wahya, her tail still raised, and looked him over.*

"I suppose...I could lead you to her. You seem sincere. If you start to loose control over Giga, I will be forced to take action-you know that, right?"

*With that, Dawn turned and began to walk back to where Hitoban and Tsuki were.*

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Wahya stares at her blankly at her comment. But shrugs and follows behind her, as he does his minds runs as how Hitoban is going to react.

[hitobannofokkusu]

*Dawn rounds a short corner and stops in her tracks. She sees Kage, Tsuki, and Hitoban standing there. She makes sure they know she means no harm before she trots up and nuzzles Hitoban.*

"Are you okay? What a silly question, of course you are, Tsuki is with you."

*Then Dawn remembers that Tsuki doesn't know her. She turns to the two wolves and introduces herself.*

"Hello, I am Dawn. I serve as Hitoban's protector. You are Tsuki, and you are Kage, correct? I always watch Hitoban, making sure no harm comes to her, so I know all of her friends, and all of her enemies."

*Dawns eyes flick to Wahya for a second, and Hitoban follows her gaze. She sees Wahya and tenses up. What does he want? Does he want her off of his land altogether? She should leave now, to spare him the trouble of telling her to. She turns and begins to walk in the opposite way of the group, Dawn following suit.*

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Wahya steps foward and stops, he watchs them walk a little ways then steps up, "Wait.... dont leave... I am here for something else.... I am only want to talk, but if you want to leave than I will not hold you"

[hitobannofokkusu]

*Hitoban's step falters, and she knows that it's not Giga talking. She slowly turns around to face him.*

"Well, I'm here, so start talking."

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Wahya's ears flatten and his eyes lower, "Hitoban... I never meant any of that, what I said about wanting you off my lands or wanting to kill you, even if you do get annoying.... but the main reason I am here is to say soo rrr yyy"

[hitobannofokkusu]

*Hitoban looked at him skeptically, then a little hurt.*

"You think I'm annoying?"

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Wahya still had his ears flat, "At times... but I can say you are a true friend, thats why you hanged around here... if you wasnt my friend we would not be talking now and probably fighting each other..."

[hitobannofokkusu]

*Hitoban's eyes locked and she took a step back. Her flag-like tail raised ever so slightly.*

"So you didn't mean any of it?"

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

"No, I didnt mean anything... it was not my tongue that spoke those words... it was him...." Wahya looks away then back to her, he stared at her for a bit, "I have said what I needed, you can decided to forgive me or not, either way I will accpet your answer."

[hitobannofokkusu]

*Hitoban thought for a second, then retreated to her mind. Her outer appearance might have scared someone who didn't know what was happening, but Dawn remained perfectly composed, still watching Wahya. No one on the outside could hear what she was saying, but it was just as if she were talking without sound.*

"Kazumi, tell me what I should do."

Sister, I'm the last one you should be asking. You need to listen to your heart, not your head.

I think you should kill him now. You need to let me out, and I'll do it for you. Katashi head butted the inside of Hitoban's consciousness, and she shook her head, putting Katashi back in her place.

"No Katashi. I won't let you out right now. I know what happened last time you escaped-Kazumi told me everything. You cannot come back out. You're grounded, in a sense of the word."

But sister! You can't just let him talk to you like that and not expect to have...repercussions. It's just not you.

"No, Katashi, it's not you. It's perfectly me."

I stick buy my previous statement. I would like you to forgive him, since it wasn't really him talking, but it's completely up to you. We may all have the same mind, and we may all love the same wolf, but we all have separate hearts.

*Hitoban was still inside her mind, arguing with Katashi and trying to get Kazumi to decide for her. She stopped and began to think, still keeping an eye on her sisters, so her eyes were still rolled back.*

[Wahya Ayawisgi]

Wahya noticed what she was doing, he looks to Dawn, "Tell me when she is done, I need to step outside" Wahya turns and starts to walk out, he stops outside the entrance and looks up to the snow falling. He continues to look as he starts to think about his life.
