She huffed as they finally hauled the large black male into the two story house she had so recently left. She chuckled as she saw the huge crack and dent in the wooden floor that her feet had left upon her landing from the top floor. She couldn't help but find amusement in the irony of the situation, only days ago it had been her dragging an injured friend through the snowy lands only to be assisted by the black wolf with the red X scar and now their situation had been reversed and she was the helper instead of the dragger.


She shut the door behind them, closing out the wind and cold. Her leg ached although it was tapering off now. She surveyed the scene before her, both boys appeared to be injured/exhausted and she couldn't help the swell of motherly instinct that rose within her chest. Both of them were far from pups and were most likely older than she was but she was the only one with the energy and strength to do anything at the moment. Her attention was called to Falgar as he said her name. She moved to his side swiftly and kneeled besides her friend shushing him gently with a soothing tone,


"Shhhh, save your strength." She winced as he raised the hand that stunk of blood and bone from his chest and her ears flicked back at his shout of pain. She sighed as he slipped from the world into unconsciousness from the pain and looked up to make sure Kami was still awake and not with Falgar in the land of the involuntary sleep . She smiled and her ears flicked forwards momentarily. Standing up she turned and moved over to the fireplace where the remained of a previous fire was still collected, the logs would still burn, she used her old trick of striking two stones and soon there was a fire going which warmed the room up.


She returned to her friend and dragged him closer to the fire so he would benefit from it like she had done with Ookami,


"You should move closer too, it will help but then, I don't need to tell you that."


With a wry smile she climbed the stairs that she had disregarded upon her exit and entered back into the room she had been in, gathering up the strips of dress and some of the other clothes that were in the room. She dumped them over the banister and then moved on to the next room where she had found a few blankets and brought those with her and she descended the stairs, arranging the blankets around and over Falgar so that he would warm up faster. She offered some of them to Kami so he could warm up as well. She sat on the floor besides Falgar and sighed again, resting her head in her hands and her elbows upon her knees, closing her eyes before lifting her head to turn to Kami,


"How did this happen?"
