Legend of the Okami Love

Chapter Five-So Starts the Adventure

Brittany then flipped up into the tree and opened her mouth, breathing deeply.

"Whatcha doin?" As I asked, I relaxed, letting my ears and tail show. She gave me an 'isn't it obvious' look.

"Connor, you've read Warriors, you should know what I'm doing." It clicked.

"Riiiiiiight. You would do that when you were human, too though so excuse me for being confused." She rolled her eyes but smiled. You see, cats smell by the roof of their mouths. Brittany and I always joked that she was a cat because the roof of her mouth was sensitive and she could 'taste' the air like a cat. Her ears suddenly perked up.

"I smell them...both of them...seems like they knew each other and she went to find him..."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" I started to run but she jumped and landed in front of me perfectly.

"First things first, you need a bag of clothes, food and other supplies. You also need to explain to your parents what we are doing. Oh, a little note money wouldn't hurt either. I had to quit Giant, so I don't have that much left." I sighed.

"Your never this practical, why now?" I groaned. She just smiled sadly.

"When the one you love is involved, you'll do anything. Anything at all."

"Well that didn't take long at all." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah. Cause the hour of my mom crying and begging me to stay didn't take that long."

"Shorter than my friends telling me not to leave. Especially Michelle. We were best friends for a while and now...now I left her." Brittany hung her head for a second, then looked back up, hardening her eyes. "But we don't have time to worry about all that now. I need to find Mikila and you need to find Crescent."

We ran. We ran until night fell, and we set up camp.

"Damnit!"

"What?"

"Jake gave me the wrong fucking lighter. Argh!" I smiled.

"Luckily, I brought one." I tossed it and she caught it behind her back with ease.

"I could soooo get used to this reflex thing." She quickly started the fire and looked at me. "Let's get changed. I'll go into the trees there and you call when your ready, ok?" I nodded and she walked off with her bag, undoing the hair tie in her blonde hair at the same time, showing off the green and black.

I quickly got changed and sat next to the fire.

"Brittany!" She ran from the trees and plopped down. She was sporting grey sweatpants and a baggy blood on the dance floor shirt. Poking the fire, she looked at me.

"I know your a fucking night owl, hell I am too, but we have a long day ahead of us. Go to sleep, I will be shortly here as well." I nodded and soon drifted off, even though I was never used to going to sleep this early.

It seemed like just a couple minutes before I woke to Brittany screaming my name.

"For God's sake Connor wake up!"

"What?!" I turned and saw Brittany, hands twitching and her eyes blank.

"Notebook. Bag. I'm also gunna need a pen." She didn't even look at me. I went to her bag and pulled out the notebook and pen, opening it and lying it in her lap before handing her the pen.

"Can I ask what's going on?"

"The future. I can write the future like the chapter of a novel. It comes when I least expect it to and it causes me to go blind to everything around me except the notebook. My hands take control."

"That happens when I draw some things. But why?" She sighed, her fit over and she looked at me.

"We are special. I'm the all powerful neko and your the great okami. We are meant to lead, because we fell in love with a neko or an okami before being changed ourselves. Now, do you want to read this or not? I do." I nodded and looked over her shoulder.

What I saw shocked me.
