He had taken refuge within the obscuring curtain of towering umber and rustling greenery. His company was but the ambient soundings of the encompassing woodlands – seemingly. The canine whelp’s eyes trailed after a retreating figure, following within her wake until she vanished at a bend within a makeshift, time-fortified path.
“You go on ahead, Kyo. Now that I’m back in Yochi, I’m gonna go and check a few things!” he had lied, adeptly tincturing his words with his usual felicity and dynamism. The cycle of rebirth had pitilessly submersed his ethereal being within the waters of Lethe, rinsing away the memories of lives past. Doubtlessly, he wished to make known his independence – or perhaps would rather not inflict the girl with a botheration birthed from his consistent, nigh ceaseless stalking. However, he knew of only but two people to a greater degree of depth than a mere whimsical collision and brief conversation would yield: Kyouko and Old Man Kenta, the latter of which was within a realm he was forbidden to ever set foot in again.
When had this looming presence emerged? Keeto turned to deliver a glance rearward from overtop his shoulder, anxious to bear witness to whatever desired his attention. A man of a bronzed complexion stood there, draped within an unkempt mass of white hair. His apparel was ostensibly thieved from eras passed, murmuring the word ‘hermit’ and its various synonyms. Hardly had Keeto painted him with a judgemental eye, but one bearing a flux of curiosity and waning startle. It was at this time did the weaving hands of kismet take seize of the beatific puppy. It was then did Keeto meet Kenja, the Sage of the Forest.
Itsumo Issho Ni
It was where he had parted with her did a hide of familiar whites and grays idle. Seemingly, the canine had either returned to the same spot in hopes of meeting with his lone friend, assuming the term was not too strong a word – acquaintance perhaps, or had never left and had fallen into a duration of slumber instead. It appeared to be the cast for his miniscule structure had been tucked into itself, a common position for a resting candid.

Another canine seems to be accompanying the other small creature. Its fluffy, cream coloured hide seems to rise and fall as an indication of breathing. Its eyes are locked into a closed position as its presence nonchalantly seeks refuge at a placement nothing shy of the propinquity of a pile of an amalgamation of viridity. A flock of birds noisily bat their wings at they fly towards the sky. The canine seems to twitch, disturbed slightly but its slumber resumes. Its tail curls to further bundle its apparel into a large collection of coloured cotton. A woodpecker aggressively chips at the bark of the three like a miner at its node. It is disturbed once again but does not seem to break past its sleep. An acorn, courtesy of the avians motion, falls from celestial heights and hits the female puppy on the head. Immediately transfiguring into a human form her hands extend. Slender fingers wrap like a snake around the rough bark of the tree as she shakes it furiously. Spiders, leaves, stick bugs, praying mantis, squirrels, even a raccoon seemed to fall from the height. The woodpecker falls, tears its wing off of a branch, cracks its head over an inevitable branch before falling onto the raccoon.
"Now..." Kyouko mutters, plucking an insect off of herself and tossing it into the distance. "Keeto, wake up. We must plan today out!" Her finger extends towards the canine as she points directly towards him, whether he be awoken or not by this point.

"Kyo?" Keeto had asked in days passed. A hesitance overtook him before he could continue, however. He smiled meekly before adverting his gaze towards the waiting, ridiculing soils below. "Nevermind, sorry."
Had it been that her focus had pooled upon the idling body of fur or the proximity of her finger with his structure? Nevertheless, not long after the extension of her finger had his body acquired an abrupt, nigh holographical flicker. Little more than the pasture of a moment and his shimmering physique dissolved into evanescing gains of fading light. A solitary breath from the heavens above swept the stretch of bladed green and skyward umbers, furling the fragment of paper fastened to a log within the faux canine’s wake. Its surface found company with ink, quite decipherable as luck would have it. It read,
“Kyouko, I have abducted Keeto for reasons I am not willing to discuss for it matters not. There was nothing he could have done to best me, so he came willingly. He wishes for you not to pursue him for he is aware the result will be your demise.”
That was all, excluding something following that might have been a signature of some sort. It was runic in design and after one’s eyes were to settle upon it, a magical reaction would trigger. The paper would vanish within a bust of light somewhat hot to the touch.

A robbery... the petite frame gestured to prior would evanesce, too swift perhaps for her eyes to follow. Prior enthusiasm coalesces into a swallowed sensation, confusion, concern, wariness, anxiety... it permeates throughout her stomach like a boulder, rounded and chiselled to perfection... Her brow quirks, the linear flicked appendage slowly hangs to her side, her auburn irises acquire something within their observant orbit -- it is a eccentrically placed note. Her legs cart her gingerly towards the note, her hands extending with a sheepish air to lightly seize the slip before her... "What the hell is this?" Her rhetorical inquiry egresses from her mouth in its general aggression, aggravation, and viscous mass to conceal the sensitivity before -- the perfect mask. The remnants of her enthusiasm wane to a mere dribble, her eyes widen as her ignorance ridden cornea are imbibed with the fruits of knowledge... An emptiness is formed, spread from its original pinpoined district in her stomach... a sensation like gelid fingers skate down the complexion of her neck as her heed slowly shifts towards the runic marking. A kismet... an inevitable occurrence, the dissipation of the note into a divine, flourishing luminescence. Her terror waxes like the full moon, but the necessity to fight through it, the manner which it is covered up and hidden, the vicious guard wolf that is deceit, depending on nothing to ward away this stagnant, sickly fear... it makes its presence known as her fangs bear in substitute of the grave emotion that the doppelganger on the inside wished to succumb to. "We'll see about that..." Like an onslaught of spears her words drive through the heart of the small, pleading girl, the sweet, persuasive voice -- the most familiar to her, telling her to receive aid, instructing her to depend on another's help. Certainly, she would not... "...all I have to do is find this guy... Then I'll bring back Keeto. I'll have to reprimand him for doubting me." Her pace brings her forward, a southbound walk upon a rarely trodden expanse. "But where?"

Had her verbalizations gone unheeded? The atmosphere grew stale, silent, ostensibly unfavourable towards her raffishly voiced decision. The previous winds subtly and erratically sweeping the environment by seemingly suffered a quiet death, vanishing without a trace. Abruptly came a rinsing rumble. The quiver was quite humble, though slimly ominous all the same. Nearby, however not too much so, emerged a paw. It rose from the depths of the soils ever-still bathed within the aureate light of a vernal day. Taking steadfast grasp of the ground, it heaved itself to the surface. Its form was familiar, perhaps mockingly so, being that of a puppy’s. Its hide was green, its appendages ensnared within entwining roots and branches, fur coalesced with a flowery growth. Certainly, a strange creature had taken its place before the angelic being. A ravenous shake followed, freeing what glutenous debris survived his whimsical sprouting. Its back was turned to her, its head within a drop as if to suggest it had not yet gathered itself.

A rumble wrings out the ground, all modesty intact... inauspicious, a sickly growl like an unsated stomach... a devourer, the heartbeat of the earth, its rhythmic pulse. Her attention shifts with haste, obstinate gaze carted by erratic movements, though her attempts are fruitless, like the previously shaken tree... Devoid, empty, bare -- bearing nothing but perennial wooden flesh and bone... Her anger is brandished as her wolf-esque gaze is quickly acquired. Run, run... Her current unsettlement brought such a taboo thought into the chasm of her mind, quickly neglected, a mere reflex for her - she abides by primal instincts; again, dismissing what she truly deemed to be rational thought... But she's wary of this, afterall, they say curiosity killed the cat. "What are you?" Her eyes widen, the borders of that region expanding, her eyes soaking in the many plausibilities. "Wait..." Like a stack of cards, shuffling, shuffling... she selects a thought, the first one on the deck, a subtle ethereal turn, she confronts the eldest of the thoughts. "Are you... an alien?!"

An inquiry crafted virtually unconsciously, instinctually, reflexive well-nigh, trickled over and past the being’s back. It stirred him not, apparently, for no movement in response ensued. His movements were entirely at his own leisure. There was no rush, no anxiety, no reason to nor intention to make haste. Within the passing moments, the broken and battered structures of muscle-laced bone and shifting flesh crawled through a city torn just as asunder as their tattered spirits. A companion had been thieved for reasons unknown if existent at all. Disease stain the murky depths of humanity, hunger and thirst paradoxically devour the physiques of the less fortunate. Despite this, as revealed when the creature finally turns a delightfully vivid, deep purplish red eye towards her, he was completely at ease.
A relaxed air was ever present, embracing him incessantly. A smile appeared fixated upon his sedgy visage. Amusement, perhaps, of what was difficult to discern; it was an irremovable stain of an expression. “An alien?” it spoke, asked with a tone suggesting gratification with or without a proper answer. “What’s an alien?”

Inevitably, the girl is thrown of course like an unstable race car... digressing from her original route of thought, physically as well... Her pace brings her closer in proximity with the earth glazed canine; aside from his evident complexion, birthed from an assortment of humble greens, he certainly bears a similarity with what she sought... additionally, his presence is hired and employed to this destination... intriguing it had been to see, as if her call to the gods had been answered, something so capable of utilizing the senses -- tracking to the highest pinnacle, seeking things out. She is aware that police use hounds to catch criminals, uses them to localize them with ease, it is no alien, that thought in itself is now not plausible, no- it is simply something to make her array of options less bleak... Her hand lowers its position, a light pat distributed to the top of its head... petting follows, then external stimulus is brought about upon her mundanely cold visage- an abrupt glimpse of a smile, infrequent, endearing to those who deem themselves her species... it is discarded easily, the thought that this lilliputian creature is anything hazardous.."Nothing," She preaches her monosyllabic response. "but how come you're here? It's like some kind of magic. You came along right when I made that question..." Her voice trails off momentarily. "...it's... convenient, almost."

Flavours of philia manifested within their present realm of dwelling, physically, as a duration of petting. Its reaction was just as those which proceeded it, lacking. It appeared as if it had appreciated it nonetheless. Her queries did little to influence his expression. It waned slightly, ostensibly a portion of its potency traded for the tilt his head had acquired. His body language implied ignorance, but evanesced as it straightened its posture. “I heard you,” it admitted. “I was a bit jealous. Someone took someone from you, it sounded like, and you were willing to go out of your way to bring them back. I’m looking for someone who would think about me in that way, too.” He pushed himself up before trotting close enough to place his front paws on her leg, resulting within a slim bit of elevation. “It sounded like a lot of trouble. How about…would you take me instead? Then you wouldn’t need to get into any trouble. Could I take their place?”

Her expression sinks, grave emotion swelling to sallow her face... it is melancholic to see something with nobody, it is nostalgic to see someone without someone, some thing, nothing to cater to it... an absence of something of such necessity, void, disconsolate and bittersweet... a from mars her visage, though deceit enables her to push upon her visage a jovial look; he must of had strength of notable merit to go on for so long. "You must have nobody, huh..." Her contemplation seems to linger, stagnant... sickly remaining within the atmosphere, stationary and never shifting. A hermit's patience would be necessary with the weight of the decision, she finds herself indecisive... A thought sparks in her mind, igniting like fireflies on a petroleum background... “You don’t look so good,” “You okay?” -- “Where do you guys get off speaking to Kyouko that way?!"... The girl's head comes to a solemn shake, the memories flooding into the chasm of her mind through a broken door... her expression is light as a spread appendage is pat mildly on top of his head, her posture straightens, gaze focuses upon a route before her... her concentration on her original task locking firm. "If I were that lenient to abandon a friend, would I really be the type of companion you would want?" Brown filaments of hair sweep with elegance, brushing against the exquisitely defined porcelain outline of her face... "I'm sure you will find someone like that, one day maybe I can even help you. But I can't abandon a friend like that!"
"What would I have to protect if feelings is all that I've got?"
Her pace leads her forward, aimless... but she has a feeling the rarely trodden path she took would lead her to her destination... 5:302.1308. [TEXP for Jul 25th]

Alike a mask, the complacence flavouring his expression did a tremendous job in veiling his anticipated defeat. The redirection of his gaze had been the guise’s lone blemish. Little more than a fleeting moment passed before he removed himself from the girl, taking his place upon the soils once more. “Yes, that would be more than sufficient. It’s because I believe I might be in love with you Love at first sight, perhaps.” had been the answer to the girl’s initial inquiry. It had been his only response, allowing for the girl to walk the beckoning path before her without interruption.

The transcendence of early morning to late offered no hints, no company. However, she would eventually come upon a humble clearing. It was not excessively spacious, however its eye shared fellowship with a man of bronzed completion with a mass of unkempt, white hair and beard. He stood there beside Keeto who looked upon her with a wide-eyed surprise before erupting into an expression of unprecedented glee.

There is no reluctance, there is no evident fear... wolfish eyes continue to pierce forward, vehement and swollen with resolve, never looking back to face the sanctified safety that dwelt to her rear... although, something momentary, her lips curl into a smile, its trajectory towards the gleeful Keeto. Her gaze intensifies once more, her intent darkening for what is righteous, rather, her ascended spiritualism flavoured perspective profoundly and profanely marking it 'righteous'. Emotion boils fervidly, her fists clench, her teeth clench together to form a barricade of osseous tissue... The man appears almost elderly, Kyouko deems him to possess evident senility, nonetheless, an abduction had been carried out, ensnaring her companion, her friend, a threat amongst these lands... Such would be unforgivable. "Give Keeto back..." Her wings abruptly spread, casting forth renders of their feathered shadows... her desires are conspicuous, her gravity is assured... And then it careens into existence, slowly, warmly, the rancour, the aggravation and anger in its condensed, pure form -- requital. Static cracks through her, adorning her like an accessory...

Writhing with vivid torment, scalded within a ferial ire, branches of jagged blue tore the very air asunder. The girl’s fury spilled throughout the environment like pestilence, drawing to surface an expression of puzzlement and worry upon the idling candid. Her demand to release him was responsible, to which he directed his gaze towards the man ever-still brandishing his steadfast composure. “Go to her,” he stated, however had yet to avert his eyes from her, curtained beneath the veil of his unkempt, white hair. Keeto had decided to do just that, returning his stare towards Kyouko before trotting over to her. “I told her I had kidnapped you to confirm whether or not a bond existed between the two of you at all.”
“Huh?” Keeto began, obviously surprised by this. “But, I thought…” He trailed off, which allowed the ripened man before them to intrude.
“You said you wanted to aid your friend here. So, I took measures to confirm she thought more of you than a mere acquaintance.” A hand stretched from his side, opening to take hold of seemingly little more than the ire-stained emptiness enveloping him. A wooden staff, large and bulbous at its peak, came into his possession through means only interpretable as magical. Placing it atop the ground, a familiar, subtle grumble washed throughout an adjacent piece of land. A hide of green crept from the mothering earth, no doubt recognizable by the lightning-braided spirit. “No doubt you’ve crossed this individual here. I imbued a golem with a tiny fraction of Keeto, here. But now that he isn’t needed any longer…” A splintering sounded as sections of the earth-crafted canine plummeted to the waiting forest’s floor. Little time had passed before a deplorable pile rested within its wake. The man sank swiftly, the ground becoming a depthless pool of water for him ostensibly. “Now, let the test commence.”
“Test?” Keeto repeated as he buckled beneath a thunderous quiver. Ground began to spike skyward as hands of stone rose up. Slamming down before taking an unwavering grasp of the bladed-green paving the clearing. All around them had they appeared, stone creations of various forms. Their eyes were makeshift, radiating a earthly yellow.

Her brow begins to bear a weight as it furrows intensely. Her focus remains tightly upon the man even as he enabled Keeto to move towards her, just as his attention sickly remained stagnant upon her. Her hands are clenched tightly into fists, brought securely in front of her face in a boxing stance of decent expertise. "You were just toying with me, methuselah?" Kyouko is oblivious to what aid could possibly be received via kidnapping her companion. Certainly, she develops the necessity to reprimand this man for doubting the bonds a kami would come to forge. With the implications he is attempting to aid them, however, her expression inevitably lightens slightly due to the benevolent nature of an entity evidently benign. This, however, changes upon the sudden staff that seeks refuge within his grasp... a finally, the familiar viridity that surfaces like a festering, dead fish. "You...!" She exclaims, noting the familiarity of the pronounced golem. It splits before bursting like a gluttonous balloon... sending slivers of itself to act as fertilizer for the forested expanse. Aggravation is tattooed deeply into her, her expression stormy alike the braided, erratic filaments of electricity curling blindly around her and her proximity. "Are these all just objects... useless puppets, instruments for your own impudent games?" Her eyes settle upon the numerous amount of constructs uprooting themselves from the ground around them. "Is that it you batshit asshole?!" "Relámpago glorieta..." Her hands lift skyward as electricity courses through her arms. The motion stirs the clouds within the sky, darkening their contrast and causing their opaque opacity and onyx pelts to signify a cumulonimbus cloud. From the sky begins to rain multiple bolts of electricity, mercilessly assaulting the earthen beings with little to no hesitance inputted, or in spite of the drain it may have taken to utilize.

The precipitating bolts of heavenly fury did not halt the increasing numbers and astonishingly, failed to inflict a significant amount of damage. A poor match up it would seem – earth versus lightning. The stricken earthen creations smouldered briefly, inquisitively still. Their movement would return, however, sharing company with an amassing swarm of earthborn bodies. Doubtlessly, their numbers had grown dramatically. Keeto’s attention had pooled upon Kyouko during her conjurations, but time was hardly bounteous. He could not afford to allow astonishment to seize him and after realization their ineffectiveness, fell beneath the weight of a titanic obligation to offer some form of aid. What he could offer was dismally limited, but doubtlessly she would find it helpful. The stance she had taken murmured implications of combat prowess – surely, he could strengthen such.
“Enhancement!” A shroud of mist erupted from the canine, soon to embrace the physique of Kyouko. While weakness overtook his miniscule structure, strength would flood into her own. A glance feel her way, “Sorry, Kyo! I didn’t know all of this would happen! I just…we got to talking and he said he’d help me aid you better…” Blunt, but surely he spoke the truth. “This should help you. I don’t think your lightning will be as good as physically striking them, especially now.”
A plethora of thunderous quivers tore his gaze from her and towards the approaching quadruplet of approaching golem. He floated upwards and took a position grasping a shoulder while his hind legs did their best to secure a position somewhere on her back. Currently, there was no time to explain why he had done so.

"Just as I thought..." Her arms lower into a defensive positioning, her signature boxing stance acquired. Her eyes, despite the inevitable powerful onslaught of these earthen golems, remain intact with the general seemingly audacious embrace. She never before perceived a spell to call forth such a copious abundance of familiars, especially with their impregnable durability. 'Tch' she breathes as she shifts her weight to her currently dominant left foot. "You were doing this all for me, Keeto?" Her voice seems surprised, and glassy eyes seem to redeem their mundane reflection once more. Though, a strange emanation emits from Keeto after a sudden incantation. Her brow raises slightly, lightening the stormy expression previously plastered on her face. "What's this?" She is so inquisitive to ask as she is enveloped by it. "This... power..." Her fists clench tighter, the force she is applying to the ground with the shifted weight onto her left foot causing a small, foot-sized crater underneath it. From standstill position the girl suddenly relocates near one of the quadruplet structures. Her fist arches back, pulling deeply from her inner strength and twisting powerfully to perform what seemed to be a simplistic right hook -- Of death. The structure would crack underneath the pressure of the massive strike, a small delay before it literally flew through the nearest set of perennial, pillars of oak. Its body, cracked from the inside, crumbles into a pile of worthless fragments with each rhythmic skip it would skate along the green expanse. Moving at extreme speeds with her newfound velocity towards another creature, she haymakers its leg, dismantling it and causing it to fall towards the ground. Jumping, she drives her fist in a jabbing motion into the head of another, crushing it literally into its torso. The stone puppets inevitably would be destroyed, but there was a lot more to go. Fatigue is apparent on her face as time continues to elapse. Their progress would not cease, and despite her frustration without needed energy she could not continue to fight like this. Panting, she looks behind her. On its way up from the ground a hand discreetly raises before attempting to come down on her. "Keeto, run!" Her wings expel from her back, glowing with sheer radiance as they would project the canine towards a soft pile of leaves padded with a layer of soil underneath. She catches the hand, but the weight is grave with her lacking amount of stamina. "I'm not human anymore; everything's boring. My parents attended my funeral, I was just glad I could protect them for a bit longer. But you... after I barely had anything left besides my inadvertent purpose of protection, you didn't even know me, yet you... went to such a height just to be of use to me... Well, you don't gotta be like a damn slave, and you don't gotta be of 'use'... Because you're my friend." She smirks lightly. "Electrica Muerte." Red and yellow balls of electricity raise from the ground at a rapid pace. Lumbering around like droning june bugs they land subtly on the golem. In unison, they explode, enveloping both stone and angel within a monolithic pillar of bluish white light. The aftermath brings about a girl, burnt exceptionally by the heat. Her strength watered down the strength of the assault - at least to herself. It is inevitable, the golem receives barely any damage. It forms a large spike upon its clenched fist before driving it fiercely into her lower abdomen with a grotesque ripping audio. She spits up blood, grabbing weakly on its fist. "Sorry Kiddo... I guess we can't hang out for too much longer." Her eyes rapidly begin to lose their reflection.

Strikes, evasions, and counters unfolded at an unprecedented speed. Long-since has the canine lost the ability to keep up. The exclamation of his name could only draw a brief eye towards her, his expression impregnated with puzzlement, startle born of the moment’s sheer abruptness. The extension of a wing was unforeseen, fixating his face with its previous surprisal as he retreated reward until the ground below brought his travels to an abrasive halt. The passing of a moment ensued, one spent gathering his jarred being. As he did, her words trickled overtop his quivering physique. His energy expenditure had been great with the consistent upkeep of a spell not yet perfected, but such had hardly crossed his mind for Kyouko’s words had taken precedence. He could barely cry her name before interruption befell him via an explosion of her own creation, one that would doubtlessly cause greater harm to her own body that her attacker’s. The deliverance of a final blow jarred the spirit mercilessly and ostensibly, existence itself was tongueless.
The remain golem had begun to fall way, their phantasmal bindings seemingly abandoning their makeshift structures. Alike a heavy rain, its presence remained nigh nonexistent within a mind tight, acute, and soused with flavours potent enough to manifest physically. Such had, pooling within translucent droplets within quivering eyes. He made his way to her swiftly, placed his paws delicately on her arm as he implored her to take back her words. “Don’t say that!” he sputtered within a barely audible, fractured tone. He glanced frantically about her ravaged structure with the intent to undo the damage she had suffered. How wishful; he possessed no knowledge of how to do so. “I still have to help you..! I didn’t get to yet..! If you die…”
Her head falls limp.
“…”
- - -
Time’s unidirectional flow had ceased – no longer had its measurement been possible. No longer had the capability of thought been possible, seemingly saturated with the motionless body lying elegantly before him. His repetitious cries appeared dulled beneath an atmosphere laden with dolour. “Revive!” had become the mantra of a despairing spirit. “Why..? Won’t it work? I’m doing it just like he said to…” Unnoticed had the approach of a familiar old man gone. His eyes grew unbearably wide, shimmering beneath a curtain of liquidized sorrow, as he caught sight of an evanescing. A pungent acuteness possessed them afterwards as a white light enveloped each, ultimately spilling outwards to carpet the immediately environment within a eye-peroxiding luminance. The man came to a halt, washed throughout with the newly born light. "RESURRECTION!"
The body shimmered, sparkled with vivid renewal and upon it lay an seemingly enfeebled Keeto. The sage looked upon the both of them with surprise before a warmth flooded his facial features. “Beautiful,” he began as he sank into the earth once more. “Perhaps the heavens have yet to forsaken us just yet.” His departure left a phantasmal sheet of multi-coloured light upon the two. Its appearance seemingly brought the canine to. “Kyo?” he asked meekly, however his own eyes would verify his miraculous success. “Kyo…” he stated with a flux of weariness and content.

Drifting upon the verge of calamity the girl can remember experiencing the exact same, hopeless moments just like it were yesterday. Would she be put back into that place? Heh, it was so quick, the time she spent back here she deems to be merely ephemeral. On the brink of dying again, it is a strange feeling, it is indescribable. The feelings of remorse are too pungent and too abundant. They seize her and laden her with bleak, hopelessness. She continues her way down the inevitable, black tunnel, watching her memories cascade by her like televisions through showcase windows. Fireflies drone around like cargo planes; such a distinct memory, sitting down with her Father, roasting marshmallows over a fire. There were fireflies present in the air, lumbering around lazily but Kyouko enjoyed their presence, she welcomed their presence. They were her friends, and she treated them so warmly. It was only then the duo spotted a small puppy make their way towards them. It was a stray. It was dirty and sallow, and didn't want to even bother pestering the two for food. It walks by, but Kyouko greets it quickly. She enquires if she can take it home, from which there is a delayed response, but an assured yes. Two years later, the dog passed away, but Kyouko was still happy she prolonged its life for a bit more time, warranting so many warm experiences. Ethereally, but as she is resurrected inadvertently, tears begin to fill her eyes. A dog, much alike the one she'd brought home, as she brings herself into consciousness, is before her. Her vision is blurry, and the man evanesces from sight before her vision could barely grasp onto the warm features he possessed. She abruptly hugs the canine. "Kawaii..." She states humbly.
