A Forbidden Love

Chapter 38 part 2

Yoshitsune's POV

I was sleeping I think until I heard a twig snap.. I was on my feet immediately. Being the soldier and light sleeper I am does that to me... I was on my toes my bow loaded and ready to fire... I looked around the woods... Searching the darkness for what it was that made the twig snapped.. I didn't see anything for a while and I was about to take a step when another twig snapped and whatever it was was coming out of the darkness slowly.. I didn't see it at first until I saw the eyes glowing... It was a pair of bright blue eyes glowing in the darkness... I took a few steps back standing in front of my sleeping friends.. I will protect them.. They trust me.. The eyes were getting closer until finally the figure emerged from the darkness... And I couldn't help but stagger back a few more steps... When I realized what was standing before me I couldn't help the small amount of fear that came to me... This thing is huge.. It's a killer... It's ginormous... It's at least six feet tall... I can't believe my eyes... The wolf was walking towards me and stopped in front of me a couple feet away. It sat down on its haunches and made eye contact with me.. I couldn't help but stare into its bright blue like eyes... They were mesmerizing.. It bowed it's head slightly and leaned it's head towards me... What was it doing?? Why hasn't it killed me or attacked me yet... Is it being submissive???... And I thought I had seen it all... It leaned towards me more and was growling low in its chest. It got up on its feet and came towards me... I was backing up again and was about to shoot it out of fear but it wrenched the bow out of my hands and threw it behind him.. Growling louder now... "What do you want wolf??" I asked timidly. The wolf kept sauntering towards me and backed me up into a tree and my back was pressed against it. I raised my hands in surrender and said,"ok what do you want??... I won't hurt you... Just don't hurt me please.." I said desperately.. It's white teeth were peeking out from its lips and he walked up to me and pressed his big massive head into my side. What the heeeeeelll... This is not natural... It kept rubbing its soft silky black fur against my hand and then I felt something wet going across my hand repeatedly. I looked down at the wolf afraid to see the wetness be blood but it wasn't... It was slobber from the wolf... It was licking me... What the hell!!!! Ok calm down yoshitsune... This wolf is crazy but it doesn't seem to want to hurt me... I sank down lower to the ground and being daring I sat down Indian style before the wolf... It sat down on its haunches before me and cocked it's head slightly and let its tongue loll out the side in a wolfy grin.. Looking like a panting dog. This is insane... I reached out tentatively.. And the wolf met me halfway and bowed his head.. His eyes looking up slightly watching me.. I was about to put my hand on its head and pet it but the wolf beat me and pressed his head against my palm all the way.. It closed its eyes and seemed to be purring almost as I pet it.. It was happy I guess... I don't speak wolf.. But it seems to trust me... I don't know why though.. How can an immediate bond take place.. This thing was at least 5 and a 1/2 feet tall.. Maybe six I don't know.. Why is it so big.. And trusting?? It laid down on its belly and laid its head down on its paws.. I wasn't sure what to do honestly.. It moved closer to me and curled up against my legs... Almost protectively in a way... What the heck... It was sleeping I guess.. It's ears twitching every few seconds... He was alert.. I sighed and laid my hand on its back and stroked its back. The wolfs back twitched slightly and it was growling slightly.. I lifted my hand up immediately.. "Ok then... I'll let you sleep.. Sorry sorry.." The wolf relaxed again and shifted closer to me slightly.. It trusted me and was all nice one moment and then growls at me the next moment.. God .. Freaking bipolar wolf much.. Sheesh.. And I thought Jasmine was moody.. I chuckled slightly and leaned back against the tree.. I closed my eyes again and was drifting off to sleep barely.. A light slumber nothing deep.. I felt safe with the wolf ... I wasn't sure why.. It seemed to be a guy though... With how muscularly it was built.. I couldn't see it well in the dark but I had a feeling it was a guy.. Plus it was absolutely huge... So more than likely.. Male wolf... He seems like an alpha like wolf... Maybe he has more wolves with him? A family maybe?? A mate even?? Is that what the male wolves would call their female wolves that they had to mother their pups?? I don't know.. I felt that the wolf wasn't going to leave ... He obviously seems pretty content right where he is... And if we did try to make him leave he would show some teeth and growl and that would be the end of that. He reminded me of myself in a way. He probably isn't a lone wolf.. He probably has a female wolf lingering in the shadows somewhere... He looks like he would be top pick for a female wolf.. Muscular.. Big.. Protective style.. Alpha like.. There's no way this guy could be single.. I wonder what the others will think when they wake up to see a wolf curled up beside me..
The next morning I was woken up to screams.. I jumped up onto my feet and saw Maria and Jasmine behind Goyo looking terrifed of the wolf that was in front of them growling.. He was standing in front of me all the hairs on his back standing up and his teeth showing. He was once again protecting me... From what threat though... I got up and stood beside the wolf who was still growling defensively.. Goyo had both his swords out ready to kill the wolf.. "What in the hell do you think you are doing you dumbass?! The wolf isn't going to harm you.. He's cool.." I said scratching my head.. Goyo looking at me like I had lost my cocoa puffs... "What in the hell is wrong with you?! That thing is huge and it looks like it could kill us easily without moving a single claw..." I shook my head and looked down at the magnificent wolf beside me and studied him. His black coat was a midnight black and it was shining in the sun.. His eyes were still a bright blue even in the sun light.. He was taller than I thought.. He was up to my rib cage in the middle of it in height.. About a little more than five and a half feet tall... His teeth were a bright white and looked as sharp as knives. They could probably slit a throat easily with one bite. He was standing defensively before me and growling murderoulsy at Goyo. I carefully put my hand on his head and rubbed it slightly and said,"hey big bad wolf... It's okay they are not bad okay?? ... Goyo can be an ass sometimes and do stupid things but he isn't bad.. They are not a threat.. I promise.." The wolf growled a warning at Goyo and sat on his haunches beside me his head going over my waist.. He leaned into my palm and rubbed his head against my palm again. I rubbed his head back and said,"good boy..." I guess he was like a guard dog now.. He needs a name.. "What do you think for a name boy??... How about killer?" The wolf shook his head and pawed at the ground as if saying no. I pinched my nose and said,"um... How about Ky..." The wolf leaped up and licked my hand a lot of times giving his oblivious approval.. I smiled and said,"ok Ky it is..." The wolf licked my hand alittle more and then sat down on his haunches looking up at me with a wolfy grin like from before.. I couldn't help but chuckle.. I petted his head a couple times and walked back towards my area in the camp.. I picked up my bow along the way and the wolf grabbed the arrow for me in his jaws and carried it for me.. I then said,"why thank you Ky.. We will have to give you a treat now won't we..." The wolf followed me to my sleeping bag and sat down in front of me as I changed into a new shirt from my bag. I bent down and held my hand out for the arrow and he dropped it into my hand and licked my hand. I petted his head and said,"good Ky.." I reached into the food bag and pulled out some extra dried jerky we had and tossed it to him. He caught it in his jaws and started chewing it like a dog eating peanut butter and I couldn't help but chuckle and said,"damn dude you like it much?" The wolf let out a hearty bark and continued knawing on his jerky. I looked behind me to see Goyo ,Maria ,and Jasmine staring at me with opened mouths. "What?? Just a tip but you should shut your mouths before you catch a fly.." I said chuckling as I quoted jamsine. She sent a dirty look my way and Maria chuckled and Goyo said,"how in the hell are you able to interact with the wolf that way... Yall have some bond or something? Are you a wolf whisperer or something??" I shook my head and said,"no we met last night.. And he didn't attack either.. He reminds me of me which I think is why we get along so much.." Goyo nodded and agreed,"yes hot headed, bad tempered, very big in size , muscular, big egoed and very mysterious.." I glared at Goyo and Ky growled at Goyo. I chuckled and said,"looks like you better watch what you say about us ... " goyo shook his head and walked off to his are of the camp. "We need to start packing up and we need to move out.. We have a lot of distance to cover.. And I want to get closer to Hinata and get her away from my father as soon as possible.." The wolfs head snapped up at the mention of my father and he was snarling. Woah.. "Bad history with him too??" The wolf growled and whimpered.. He got up and started pacing and growling every step or two.. What crawled up his ass?? I started packing my things up and loaded everything up onto my horse. When I looked back at everyone I saw Maria climbing onto her horse in a different set of clothes... Black combat boots.. Dark black pants... A grey Tshirt and her hair pulled back in a pony tail.. Why can't Jasmine dress sensibly like that?? She had her pouch of throwing stars hanging from the saddle horn and her the butt if her knife was peeking out from the top of her combat boot.. Nice.. I like your style. I looked over at Goyo to see him in black combat boots, dark dark blue jeans and a black shirt.. His katakana swords in a black sheath on his back. The hilts of the swords easily accessible to his hands. If he came to trouble he could grab the hilt and be able to defend off any attack. His things already packed as well on his horse. The blade was in two of his belt loops and was hidden slightly by his shirt. I nodded in approval and saw Jasmine climb onto her horse with her bow and on her back and her sheath of arrows on her back. Her things already packed and her blade was peeking out form a pocket in her saddle bag by her thigh. Her hair pulled back in a braid down her back and her shirt was a plain black one as well.. Her jeans and combat boots on as well. I smiled in approval. Finally she dresses sensibly. I chuckled and pulled my own bow over my shoulder and the sheath I tied into my saddle horn.. The horses were well rested and ready for the long day ahead of us.. I tucked my blade into my combat boot and my black jeans and black shirt were perfect. I loved black clothing. And white shirts too.. Especially since.. Never mind.. The more I think about her the more distracted I am.. I climbed onto my horse and Ky walked over to the fire and kicked some dirt onto it with his rear legs. Dang... Aren't you a smart wolf. I love you even more now. Ky walked over to me on my horse and I looked at how tall he was compared to the horse. His head was about midway up the horses neck. He was pretty big.. His fur brushing my leg and he waited for me to lead forward. He was pretty much the size of the horse.. If not bigger.. But somehow I knew he knew the journey but he wanted to stay close by in case something went south. He would be quite useful for protection and food as well. I kicked my horse and got her walking forward and the others followed behind me. Our campsite bare except for the non existent fire .. We tracked on and Ky followed beside me occasionally going to the front and going a little ahead and then waiting for us to catch up.
Once we had traveled for about two hours we stopped by a stream we came across and refilled our water canteens. I putting the iodine drops in all the canteens so we could have clean water. Ky and the horses drank happily from the water.. I looked around for Ky and saw he disappeared..
