The Akatsuki Wolves (Pein love story)

Ch 5. Im sorry

~~~~~Hikari POV~~~~~

Eating the piece of chicken was a mistake because the moment my stomach tasted the food it ache like I had acid in my stomach because the only other food I had had that day was a piece of toast but that was at breakfast so I was starving to the point it hurt.

Lollypop dug rate in but all the puppies started to nib the chicken before the realized how good it was and started wolfing it down an when they were done they ran back into the living room to play except for Pein.

"go on pein" i say "you must be starving" still Pein didn't touch his food "please Pein you will get sick if you don't eat" I pleaded.

pein looked at the food and then me before pushing the food towards me with his nose. he then sat down and motioned with his head for me to eat.

"no pein it's for you" I say "I already ate my dinner" I lie.

pein doesn't looked confined and pushed the bowl a little closer to me and then whimpered.

"I can't Pein you need it more then I do and besides we are now a family and in a family you do what is best for your family and not yourself" I explained.

he sighed walked over to me and started to lick my cheek gently. I then realized that he was trying to tell me that he was doing the same that he was looking after me too.

"are you sure" I asked. he nodded his head "ok thank you" I hesitantly reached for the chicken and took a little piece of it.

in an attempt to eat the chicken slowly put the moment my stomach tasted food it demanded more and I starting wolfing the food down.

when I had eaten every last piece of chicken I looked at pein and started to cry.

~~~~~Pein POV~~~~~

"Are you sure" she asks me I just nod my head. 'She needs it way more then I do' I thought to myself.

"ok thank you" she says before she hesitantly takes a piece of chicken and tries to eat it slowly and I know from experiments that her stomach feels as if there is acid in it and the food is taking away the pain.

sure enough she started to wolf the food down as if it is her first real meal in days which I probably was.

after Hikari had eaten every last scrap of food she looks at me and starts to cry.

'what?' I ask myself 'I don't understand why isn't she happy she just got to eat?' "I'm so sorry Pein" she cried.

'sorry? what is she sorry for?' I ask myself. "I ate all your food and I don't have enough money or food to give you more"

"and now you are probably starving and I can't get you anything to eat" she says and then starts to sob and brings her knees to her face and buries her far in her knees crying.

If it had been anyone else (except for konan because she is like my younger sister) I wouldn't have cared and walked away. Come to think of it I wouldn't have offered my food to anyone other then them.

but for some reason I just didn't want to or even couldn't walk away from this girl because she reminded me so much of myself when I was living in the streets and when I had lived there I had wanted nothing more then for someone to show me just a little kindness.

I sigh before slowly walking toward the sobbing girl. I whimper and she raises her head to look at me and when she did I jump onto her lap.

when she looks down at me in surprise I start to gently lick away the tears that were streaming down her face.

Her tears start to slow down and she starts to hiccup and she slowly puts her arms around me and then pulls me to her.

we sat there for a couple of minutes with her crying and me licking the tears away. she was hugging me tightly as if she was terrified I might disappear and leave her all alone again.

I rest me head on her shoulder until se slowly releases her grip on me. "thank you Pein" she said with a small sad smile.

"Why don't you go play with the others and I will clean the kitchen" she suggested and I nodded my head and started walking towards the living room.

' I will help this girl' I think to myself ' because I know what it feels like to be all alone and feel completely helpless'
