To Begin Again

Chapter Eight

Kagome watched the Viperwolf freeze before jumping off Tsu'tey. The viper watched the Na'vi carefully as he got up off the forest floor. Both were making sure the other didn't make any sudden movements.

Sighing Kagome bent down by the Viperwolf and put her hand on its back, "That is enough, he isn't the enemy." She told the viper as she stroked him. This viper wolf was the one she first met. He was very protective of her it seemed.

"Caaaaalm" Kagome whispered again. Calm the animal did, he looked Kagome in the eyes before it leaned up and licked her on the cheek.

Looking up she saw Tsu'tey looking at her with a confused look on his face, before it went into a look of irritation.

"Is it okay if I go, or are you still wanting to fight me?" Kagome asked, she really just wanted to go see her Viperwolves and heal them. It seemed like she had a connection to this forest and animals, she just didn't know how much of a connection.

"I don't trust you." was the blunt reply he gave, eyes narrowed. He didn't know what to make of her either, it seemed like the animals liked her but he didn't understand why. There was something different about her, but he didn't want to believe she is the one they had been waiting for.

Blinking Kagome gave a small laugh, "You don't have to trust me yet, and I don't expect you to this early." She paused looking him in the eyes, "It takes time for one to trust someone else."

Tsu'tey study the woman in front of him, she was different than he expected. He thought she would be more full of herself like the male she was with. That didn't seem to be the case here, she seemed like she understood that they didn't trust her kind. That they could kill her if she did something wrong. This woman understood all the dangers and would take it head on if need be.

"You are a weird woman." Tsu'tey stated, as he watched her movements. She had just stood up the Viperwolf by her side still.

Kagome gave him a little smile, "Can I go see to the Viperwolves?" She knew she didn't need to ask, but she wanted to be polite. She wanted to be trusted in the tribe, and being polite would help with that...hopefully.

Surveying her, Tsu'tey said nothing before giving a nod, "That is fine, I shall accompany you." He was reluctant to go but he let the curiosity get the better of him.

Flashing him a smile, Kagome looked down at the wolf, "Take me to the others." The wolf gave a yip before padding into the forest, Kagome following after him, and Tsu'tey behind her.

It didn't take that long to get to the dens, it seemed like they didn't live that far from home-tree, which she was thankful for. When she entered the clearing she was greeted by the females who all were happy to see her.

"It's nice to see you all too." Kagome laughed as she bent down to pet them all. She was falling in love with them all. They seemed to understand what she was saying as they gave a yips back at her.

"Where are the hurt ones?" She whispered to the alpha female. She needed to get them all healed as soon as possible. She didn't want any of them to be in pain longer than they had to be.

The Alpha female, moved her head to the other side of the clearing where some of the males were. There was about four of them, and had blood coming from their wounds. Hurrying over there she leaned down and expected them all.
