She felt safe in his embrace, she couldn't explain it. Why had he had this effect upon her. This hellhound of all the men she had met called to her in a more profound way then any other. As if she had known him her whole life, or at least her soul did. Wrapping her arms around his waist she giggled at how her hands did not meet. She marveled at his size, tall muscular and built, wide as if he was made for her. "It has been so long since I have seen you, must we stay apart like this?"

His smile remained warm as he shook his head with a chuckle. "Of course not my fox, but it was you who went away, not I." His hand went about her waist pulling her away to look upon her, looking her over as of he wanted to memorize her every curve. "You can always find me here, if you ever need me my fox."

Lowering her head she fell into her thoughts. She had indeed slipped away, it was not intentional. Guilt wracked her for her previous thoughts, how could she have thought he might have seen her as a one night stand. "I am so sorry Mitsu, I did not mean to fade from you life as I did. I just had to get away, things were following me, a past you not need to get involved in." His right paw traveled up her back, caressing it gently yet she could feel his strength.

"Let me keep you safe, do not keep me out Nico. Allow me to protect you like I crave to do" He had bent down to look at her catching her eyes with his own gaze. "Let me in, allow me to be with you fully" She shook her head adamantly, how could she. He did not deserve that, no one did. "Be with me now, here and forward. Let's not worry about my past, put it out of your mind gorgeous" she replied as she leaned forward to kiss his lips.

They were so soft warm and inviting, like going home. It shook her at the sudden thought, he felt like home. It didn't matter where she was, if he was with her she was home. She pulled back suddenly eyes wide and frightened, why him? She had long ago given up on finding the one she could consider her true mate, but could he be. No, she shook her head again, she would not think of it. She noticed how his brows furrowed in worry as she quickly smiled at him.

" Do not worry so, this look does not suit you" chuckling lightly she pulled from his arm, her hand slipping into his. Looking up at the sky as the sun began to set she smiled at the beautiful scene before her. She stood slightly behind him, his frame outline with the red and gold of the setting sun. Gods he was beautiful to her, his black and red fur seemed to glow in this light. Reluctantly she pulled her hand from his.

" This time tomorrow Mitsu, I will be here waiting. If you mean what you say, please meet me here. I really hope you will" standing upon her toes she kissed him once more before turning and walking away. She had the sudden urge after ten steps to turn back around, to not leave him. No, she had to know if he really wanted her. She loved him already but did he feel the same....

.....To be continued....

She smiled softly spotting him once again, it had been a few weeks since they last saw each other. Biting down upon her bottom lip gently she debated on saying hello, would he remember her. Was she just another one night stand to him, or did he return the feeling she had harbored for the last few weeks. His red eyes had haunted her dreams every night, the feeling of his paws upon her body a fond memory.

With a tiny huff she walked toward him, they were at the beach. He was wearing a pair of red and black trunks that matched his silky Black with red stripped fur. He was even more handsome then she could remember. Her teeth still embedded into her bottom lip she tapped his left shoulder gently. He turned his head to see who had touched him, his eyes going wide. " Nico?" His voice was low with an undertone of surprise. She was small compared to his tall frame, standing only at 5'3. Her pure white fur and soft blue tipped tails a clash against his black and red. Together they were quite the sight, Night and Day. Dark and light, she smiled up at him. "Hello my wolf" her voice came out timid and gentle causing him to smile down at her fondly.

She tilted her head up to look up into his eyes. "How have you been?" She shifted from foot to foot. His smirk grew at her obvious unease. "Missing you, my beautiful 9 tailed fox" he had leaned down slightly to whisper into her ear and he chuckled softly watching the blush creep into her cheeks. "Always quick to blush, my favorite part of you" spoke softly once again raising his left hand to caress her cheek gently.

Her eyes went wide before she broke out into a large smile "I feared you had forgotten me." She spoke so softly he barely heard. "Never" he replied in his deep husky tone "I am your Hellhound" he held his paw out to her. Her eyes casted down to look upon it before taking it. "I have missed you as well" she spoke with a bit more confidence moving into his embrace. "My Hellhound" she repeated.

....to be continued....

A girl that seemed to just walk the earth with no real reason for being or living. She searched for years for her reason of being around, what was her purpose, why was she here? stumbling upon a man one day his blond hair and black outfit catching her eye, stopping to look him over. How odd she though this male was. Wondering at whatever had caught his attention as he continued to walk down the barren midnight street. She continued to follow him around not understanding this pull he had over her. Who was he, why was he alone and why did he look so sad?

The night ended abruptly when he turned a corner, he was gone. She searched around perplexed by his sudden disappearance. She came back to the same street and smiled finding him there once again the next night. Her feeling for him growing each passing day. About 2 weeks had passes when finally she got up the courage to speak to him. Moving up behind him she cleared her throat. She was small only 5'3 in height and about 125lbs soaking wet. Long black hair fell straight upon her back falling to right above her knees. Finally she was going to express how she felt.

"You have woven yourself into my soul" wow even to her that sounded lame. Blushing furiously she tilted her head down clearing her throat with a slight chuckle. The man replied back that he felt the same way though he was not like others. He spoke with a raspy voice one that was chilling but loving and he said. "I am the undead" The girl just smile and replied back. "Now I know why you have drawn me to you. Like a moth to a light. I am the light to your dark. You are my protector" They were together from that day on moving upon the earth together till the man had to return to his grave to rest.

She was confused, they had been together for months and not once did he mention the need to rest. "Why must you leave me, Am I not enough to keep you top side?" The man with a wounded look raised his strong left hand to caress her face gently "More then enough, but even I must rest. Wait for me, you are mine." He replied handing her a ring that he removed from his pocket. "I knew this day was coming, stay with me, do not leave me while I sleep. You hold my soul, my love." He placed the ring upon her finger before descending into the grave that was to become his bed for a unknown time. She cried softly watching the one she loved more then she could understand fall asleep. With careful tosses she fill his grave once again with dirt. "Hurry back to me my love "

she waited around for him as the time passed. Moving to the grave of her love the ring that he gave her in her pocket waiting to be joined to her finger once more. looking down at the soil she began to speak softly. "Why are you still sleeping?" It had been 6 months since he had went to sleep. she heard his reply that "He did not know why" She then asked "Why are you not moving around with the living" he went silent for a moment and then replied that he had lost his purpose. The girl began to speak again her voice a bit more powerful and full of emotion. "The sun has risen, does your purpose still not exist.I have waited so long for you" She waited on his reply that seemed to take forever for her as he finally responded "Yes", saddened she stood there wondering why he did not remember her. minutes passed by as she started to hear a stiring from beneath. she moved backward as her love came bursting through the ground. she watched as he looked up at her with his lifeless eyes and spoke "why.....have you summoned me?" The girl smiled and said "Because I love you" the Zombie seemed to smile and then spoke. "Then I will never let it go" The undead man began to walk with the girl following behind slipping the ring upon her finger once again a bright smile on her face.
