"Why do you not like Kedamono?" I asked as Popee as he aimed knives at a target, looking over at me before every throw. "I just don't." He said throwing his next knife. "But why?" I asked again. He sighed, aiming and throwing the next knife. He walked over to where I was sitting in the sand and slowly fell to his knees. He put his hands on both sides of my face.

"I don't hate him, I hate what he reminds me of. The only reason that I...we...found him was that my dad left me alone in the woods when Mom told him to watch me and his, I think, mom attacked me, but I fended her off and my dad found Keda and decided he could be a show dog when he left me alone. He reminds me of that day and the fact my dad doesn't understand living. He doesn't care about me. He probably cares more about that wolf still." He pulled his hands away into his lap. "Popee," I shook my head and grabbed his hands. "He has to love you. It's kind of forced in a way I don't like, but I'm sure he really does. If he doesn't really love you though," I tightened my grip on his hands.

"Who cares? You don't need someone like that. If he doesn't care about you, just remember I do. You're my idol. I have looked up to you since that day, so don't you dare say I don't or nobody does." I smiled at him and he smiled back. "Well," He stood up and laughed. "I have you, now." He held his hand out to pull me up. "Knowing you care about me," He pulled me close to him after I stood, "It makes up for the whole world."

Sorry, this update is short, I know. I more than likely won't update tomorrow, but I'll try to Sunday. There's a lot of stuff going on right now and it gets hard to find time to update.
