OOC here!
The last time Amy had left the rambunctious puppy alone, he had managed to run off and have a fun adventure. To top it off, Amy hadn't caught him in the act. She had given the puppy strict instructions to stay put or else he would suffer the consequences. However, she had yet to catch him. It wasn't the first time Kohaku had gotten away with ignoring her orders. Amy had also told him to remain in a single area of the wagon while they traveled, but he had defied those orders on a number of occasions and hadn't been caught once. Needless to say, Kohaku was feeling pretty proud of himself and overly confident.
The opportunity to run off on his own arose again as Amy left the colorful puppy alone to bathe herself in a stream. She had left him in the forest with the wagon while she traveled a short distance to the stream. Although the golden dog didn't go very far, she was just far enough that Kohaku couldn't see her any more. A sly smile spread across his face as he snuck into the woods. To prevent himself from getting lost, Kohaku ran close to the stream, traveling down it's twisting lengths and chasing anything unlucky enough to be in his path.
The sound of splashing followed closely by a loud word that he didn't recognize caught Kohaku's attention. His oversized ears twitched as he pondered the voice for it had a strange quality to it. However, the tiny puppy wasn't experienced enough to understand why the voice sounded different. Tentatively, the puppy sniffed the air, trying to figure out what type of canine was nearby. Unfortunately, the scent was just as strange as the voice and only served to confuse the puppy further. It didn't take much for Kohaku to be interested and whatever was behind the line was trees was very interesting to him. Kohaku sprinted through the underbrush without a second thought.
What awaited the young male was beyond Kohaku's wildest imagination. A giant, black and orange, oddly shaped dog was wading through the stream. Kohaku couldn't tell how big the dog was, but it was certainly really long. Excited, he stepped out the underbrush and headed strait for the stream. A huge grin was spread across his face. He was going to have another adventure for sure.
Unfortunately for the tiny puppy, he couldn't go very far. Kohaku whined as the stream quickly rose to his chest. He was so far away from the strange dog and was greatly disappointed that he couldn't go any further. "Not fair! Why you big?"
