Kohaku watched the sky, imagination and wonder filling his small mind for all of three seconds. The puppy's attention span soon gave out and he was off to look for new adventures. Being outside without his mom was great! No rules, no sister to mess things up. He could do whatever he wanted. Kohaku turned around as he tried to figure out where to go next. He didn't want to go back, although by that time he wasn't sure where the den was. The colorful puppy turned his head, his giant ears swiveled as he sniffed the air. Where was he?
The wind picked up and made the trees sway in its majesty. The bark creaked and Kohaku looked up curiously before he picked up the scent of another. Immediately, he was interested in the other that was nearby. Kohaku ran off in the direction of the scent, his puppy-blue eyes wide with curiosity and innocence. It wasn't long before he emerged from the underbrush into yet another clearing.
Standing in the clearing was not another wolf as he had imagined, but something else. It had white fur that was like his mother and a head that looked like a wolf, but something was very wrong with the stranger. Kohaku froze; his small body trembled as he looked up at the giant that stood on two legs. Kohaku didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he found himself longing for the comfort of his mommy's fur and her soft voice. He wanted to be safe beneath her belly. Surely she would know what the creature was and what to do.
Kohaku's confused mind remembered how his mommy reacted to a wolf who was scary, so he decided to mimic her. His black hackles stood up and his thin tail rose high into the air. His small lips pulled back to reveal equally small teeth and he let out as fierce a growl as he could manage.
