30 Day OTP Challenge (YipOna)

Holding Hands

--Ze MyStreet Universe--

Leona--

Leona yawned tiredly as she curled into her pile of leaves. Mom's going to kill me, Leona thought as she continued get comfortable. Her mother would kill her because her mother 'would be so worried'. Heh heh.

Suddenly Leona heard a rustling of bushes. Her werewolf ears pricked up. Her were wolf tail swept the ground with eager anticipation.

Leona was a werewolf. She wasn't a full-blood, for her mom being a human. No one knew who her dad was, not even her mother. Now don't get shocked! Well too much...

Leona had 'hatched' out of a pendant rather than being born. But... I promise she's still a normal werewolf! How you hatch from a pendant?

Well let's just talk a simple version. You have the blood (and just a drop or prick, nothing more) of the father and the mother, than the pendant 'seals' itself. After a few months or so, poof! Baby is born! But the mother would still experience the same kind of pain as if giving birth to a real one.

Leona sniffed. Then she groaned slightly. Yip, she thought in exasperation. Yip was a pure-blood werewolf. Leona and Yip would fight constantly.

Yip thought it was weird and dumb to have your werewolf ears and tail out. So he preferred looking like a human. Leona loved having her werewolf ears and tail out as she felt it made her unique looking, rather than looking like an average human. That was just ONE of the topics the two fought about.

"Yip!" Leona growled and she, rather sadly, forced herself out of the leaf pile. It was so comfortable, Leona thought regretfully. Yip'll pay! She thought with rather a satisfactory thought.

Leona would always say she hated Yip. But deep down inside her she knew it wasn't true. One hundred percent at least.

But Leona couldn't say she loved Yip. Maybe she liked him. Or maybe she did love him? Leona shook her head in disgust at the thought. She still believed she had no feelings for Yip. For now...

Yip spun around and growled in reply.

"What do you want? Brat!" Yip growled. My nickname, huh? Leona thought. Yip always called Leona a brat. Leona hated it!

"What are you doing here?! This is my territory!" Leona barked.

Yip's PoV

"What are you doing?! This is my territory!" Leona barked angrily. I felt a snarl tug at my lips.

Her territory? This is my territory! I marked that tree yesterday! I thought in anger.

"Your territory? This is my territory! I marked that tree yesterday!" I said angrily. Leona's eyes narrowed.

"This is my territory!" Leona insisted. I shook his head feeling a groan in annoyance coming up.

If it was another werewolf, I would charge him (or her) straight on! But what held me back from attacking Leona? I had heard in werewolf class briefly that werewolf's wouldn't attack each other if by alphas or alphas mate's command. Or it could be for the sense of wanting to start a pack with that werewolf.

I shook my head in disgust. Why would I want to start a pack with Leona?! Much less be her mate? I didn't hate Leona, but could I say that I didn't love Leona either? I've heard that fighting sometimes or may lead to unconditional love for what so ever reasons, but meh.

I couldn't think the thought of being in love. But was it worth a try to find out?

Leona's growl broke me out of my thoughts.

"I challenge you to a fight! Like a werewolf! Winner gets the territory and can't get it back!"

Well female werewolves... It didn't matter about feelings or not. Nothing holds them back unless they want to. I stared at Leona. I'm not going to coward! I thought angrily.

"I accept! The time?" I growled back as an answer.

Leona looking thoughtfully at the sky as if thinking about the best time. Well at least she thought. She knew as good as in public was not the best thing to do. Even Logan, my adoptive dad, who was a werewolf by bite, wouldn't approve.

Other werewolves would saver this in amusement, unless they thought differently, like humans rather than werewolves. Then it hit me, there was no good time, expect Midnight, which was werewolf howl time this day for it was full moon tonight. The way challenges go, the day you challenge, the day you fight. Otherwise, it doesn't count. And I wanted this territory as mine! This was a forest and it belonged to no-one!

"Grrr! There is no good time! I have to call off the challenge!" Leona said in slight anger. I felt as if someone was controlling me and took Leona's hand in mine.

"It's okay. There's always tomorrow." I said. Leona's ears lowered in with disappointment but the tips wiggled in hope.

"Really?" She asked eagerly, giving my hand a squeeze.

"Yes." I say and only held Leona's hand tighter. Leona's cheeks turned a soft pink and she looked away sheepishly. She was still holding my hand though.

What's wrong with me?! I'm seriously holding Leona's hand? I thought in shock. I didn't want to admit it, but I liked it.

This wasn't like holding Lello, Rollo, or even Nekoette's hand (For crossing the road, of course). It was different. I felt different. Like I had this feeling of protect, to protect Leona rather than fight her.

I felt as if being pulled to Leona. This feeling only made me rub her hand tenderly. Leona's cheeks had turned red. Was she blushing? I thought it was best not to ask or things could turn upside down.

"Want to do the full moon howl with me?" I invited. Leona nodded in excitement.

"I would love too!" Leona's ears were now erect with excitement. I chuckled as we went exploring the forest.

Hand in Hand.
