Grasping the back of my neck, trembling in fear and pain tears slid down my face. I tried to hold in the sobs whilst trying to curl into a fetal position, the pain was almost unbearable.

I was soon unable to hold back the sobs. They poured out in great waves, getting louder and louder as I cried. In pain, confusion, fear and the phantom wounds from long ago. Through blurry eyes I saw Kenta's face turn white. 

With trembling hands he tried to help me but I was to scared. He hurt me just when I was starting to truly trust him. 
Gasping and hands still trembling he began to ramble, "I'm sorry!" over and over again. 

Getting up in a rush he ran. The pain had started to fade away but now the tiredness that I was unable to unwind due to this incident surfaced once again. Still clutching my neck my eyes started to close while falling asleep my mind was occupied with the picture of his back as he ran. Tears spilled out as I silently fell asleep.
The first thing that I saw when I awoke was his back. 

"You came back…" tear swelled up in my eyes as a said this. I was scared that he would abandon me just like everyone else. 

Startled he dropped whatever he was holding and slowly turned around.

"I'm sorry," he mumbled, "I didn't mean to bite you. I went to gather some herbs to help you with the pain."

 He pointed to my neck and sure enough wrapped around my neck was torn cloth with a sticky green paste type substance underneath it. Roughly wiping my face I sat up and stared at him and he right back at me. This carried out for quite some time until my stomach decided to make itself known.  
With a red face I wrapped my stomach with my arms and glanced downwards. 

"Cough!" 
Alarmed I looked up and there he was holding his fist up to his face trying to hold back his laughter. My face grew even warmer and I'm sure I was extremely red. 

"I gathered up some fruits on the way I'm sure the can hold you over until we can get further away." Holding out an apple he spoke while looking around. As quickly as I could I swiped it from his hand and scarfed it down only when I was done with it did I realise that I had left none for him. 

Trying to make it unnoticed I peeked through my bangs to check Kenta was eating. I sighed with relief as he took out another apple but it was short lived because he immediately handed it to me. 

"Wait!! What about you Kenta!? I'm fine you have to eat to!" I shouted a bit louder than I had anticipated to thus I caused Kenta to flinch and clutch the ear closer to me. 
I grimaced and immediately apologized.

"There's so need for me to eat this," he forcefully stuffed it into my hands, "I can't even really eat it any. You remember wolf genes and everything?" He questioned me with a slightly raised eyebrow. 

Completely convinced I began to eat the second apple when he went rigid.
Freezing me with a hand held up. I glanced nervously around us. His entire body gave off an alert pose. Ears stretched to at fully, back straight, hand on weapon and in a half standing position.  

"Move!"

Startled I moved but I was to slow, right there heading right at me was an arrow. Kenta's body slammed into me, wrapping my body with his he rolled me out of the way and without even stopping he picked my up, ran and slung me over his shoulder. 
Chasing behind us where people cloaked in black clothing. Each carrying a weapon and nun inferior to the other. Murder was on their agenda and it seemed like I was their target.
