光のないオオカミ(Hikari no nai ōkami )

the wolf without light

Part 1

The end result is just like a copy of him,he keeps staring at it and before he knows it its night.

He closed the book leaving it on the shelf back upstairs,and then walks to his mistress room.

Hot Steam hits his face,oh right...she was taking a bath.

Thank god she was facing the wall.

Her head turns around to meet his gaze,smiling--Wolf, come and bathe with me, get that dirt off of you come on

--Mistress i--

--Wolf...I wasnt asking

The Man nodds quickly and she turns back to the wall.

Her smile widens as she feels the water disturbed as the Man joined her,both of their backs pressed against eachother.

--See how warm the water is?

--Its...relaxing...

--You deserve to rest my shinobi, --she turns around and her hands run up his back,massaging his tensed muscles.

The Man freezes and stiffens up.

--You okay wolf?is this uncomfortable?

--No mistress its just...im not used to it...

--I know people arent the sweetest with you wolf,but that doesnt mean that you dont deserve kindness...every wolf needs a ray of light to warm its fur in winter...now relax...

The Man takes a handfull of air and lets his shoulders fall loose,her hands untie the knots on his back, it feels nice.

After it he feels her head resting on his back,He could smell her hair, chamomile...

--Youre Cute without all that dirt on you wolf...

--Thank you mistress,you...you look ravishing every day...

She laughs,her chest rising as her head rests back on the Mans back-- thank you...

--What was so funny...if you dont mind me asking...mistress

--Sorry sorry...its just...cute thats all..!

Her arms loosely wrap around his waist and the Mans cheeks are tainted in blush--Thank you for helping me wolf...

--You dont need to thank me...--his hands holds hers,still with her arms around his waist--i should thank you...

His head turns to her, and those beautiful big eyes meet his.

--Do you mind facing me?--she asked.

He shakes his head and lets her hands go, he turns around.

Jimawari Crawls ontop of him as he rests his head on the pile of towels on the edge of the tub.

Jima's head rests on his chest, and his arms hug her tightly,not wanting to let go.

--Mistress?I have something to confess...

The water bubbles as a soft voice replies-- go ahead wolf...

--I have catched feelings for you...my mistress, youre kind...gentle and warm...you...youre the light for this old wolf...

The woman hugs Him tightly--Dear wolf why didnt you said so before?--She sits on his lap with happy tears forming on her eyes, as they fall the shinobis hand wipes them off planting a kiss on her forehead, then cuddling her to his chest.

--Its fate...

--it is indeed wolf...

Both get out of the tub,changing clothes and finally laying on the bed.

The Mans arms pulls the woman closer to him, sighing at the feeling of her breath on his skin.

--i desire to stay here with you mistress...or go back to our world and live togheter...I long for it mistress...

--i do too dear wolf...theres nothing else that I want more than live with you...

Both look at eachother and smile softly.

--then we Will...

And so as said as done.

The amulet was quickly recovered by the both of them,they worked amazingly well togheter, and no-one stood a chance.

Now as the winter air his them, the Realm before them dissapear in a ball of light.

Both walk hand in hand trough the streets,they had eachother and its all they needed.

Now in their home far away from the world both share a Cup of tea, under the spring and cherry blossoms,wolf unaware of jimawara drawing him..

--What are you doing mistress?

He asked,knowing full well what she was doing.

--Drawing the most handsome Man in my life...

She scoots closer and both lean in--who is the lucky Man ?

Both of their lips meet as the Man finishes saying those words.

--You dear wolf...

--Its sekiro...

--hmm?

--sekiro is my true name mistress

--Its beautiful like you...my true name is jerico...

--Jerico?a beautiful name mistress...just Like its possesor

Both chuckle and kiss again.

He wasnt a waste of a Man,he wasnt an animal lost in the darkness.

He was a wolf bathed in light.

The purest kind.

And its going to remain like that forever.

光のないオオカミ(Hikari no nai ōkami )(part 1) (part 2 here)

the wolf without light

Summary: after wolf loses his master kuro,and with the crusade of the holy child over,wolf feels like theres nothing else to live for.

Until he meets a misterious woman with connections with the spirit realm

Word count:2,328

《♤♤♤》

The lively chatter of the town seemed dull to him.

A shinobi with no cause, for him the biggest of shames.

And now to top the cake he stumbles drunkly on the streets,the cold of winter does nothing to his skin, and so falls face flat on the floor and his eyes close.

Pure darkness.

He gasps a fresh batch of air,his eyes scan the place, clear Sky,green Grass and an endless sunflower field before him.

He stands up,no hungover,no dizzyness, what is this place?

--you heed the name wolf,is that correct?

A woman says behind the Man, with her arms folded behind her back.

--Who are you?

Wolf asked turning around.

The misterious girl looks up to meet his gaze.

The shinobi gasps softly -- _Jimuwari_

Jimuwari was one of the most emblematic kunoichi, having accomplished many things while in duty,yet one day she left without a trace.

Of course jimuwari wasnt her name,that was left under wraps,how ever the nickname came from a gesture , a sunflower would be placed on the scene when she flet once her task was done,and so the people in town decided to name jer jimuwari,sunflower.

--I see that the myths about me are still sung in earth...welcome wolf...

-w what is this place?

The shinobi looks around him,the Fields seemed to go around forever.

--This place has a lot of names y'know?the field of reeds,or the aaru, heaven...I call It...home

--heaven?am I---

--no of course not dear--her han rests on his shoulder-- it just so happends that you were needed here, follow me...

He nodds,fullowing suit as they made their way to...somewhere.

--You wonder where im taking you...its okay you can trust in me

--how do you--

She chuckles,a soft melodic sound like the chime of a bell.

--I cant read minds if thats what youre wondering, your expression says it all dear

A shadow hovers above them, a house stretches over the Sky, it seemed bigger than what it really was.

-First you might want to take care of yourself, come inside and make yourself comfortable

He opens the door for her,Bowing as he does so.

Even with the years manners still remain, maybe he wasnt as much of a waste as he thought he was.

Jimuwari enters with wolf behind her--Behind that wall theres a kettle with tea,pour yourself a cup of it ,If you so desire

The Man nodds silently and dissapears behind the door.

The woman sighs and grabs two bowls of rice, walking softly to the room besides the little kitchen.

And so there he is, wolf sipping slowly and silently from his tea.

She sits infront of him before handing him the rice.

--So you see, your master,kuro asked me to help you

--i dont need any help.

--If it was true you wouldnt be here,after your crusade with the holy child, kuro asked me to give you a New purpose, today you Will rest ,and tomorrow you Will find the things I need to go back to your world...I would be extremely grateful and so Will kuro

Kuro?he would do anything for his lord,and If he told this woman to ask for his help then he Will do as she told him.

--What do you need?

--First you'll find my weapons,my sword hikari and my bow kaze...they lie beneath a maze,heavily guarded...then you'll go to a village in the mountains,there is an amulet that Will help me go back to earth

The Man nodds --If my lord asked my help beyond the Grave then ill comply...

The womans features soften--But first you must replenish your energy,today you rest,tomorrow to work...

And so it is done, wolf takes just a tiny bit to wonder around the house,a kitchen,a livingroom,upstairs theres a library with a bed and a balcony that faced into the sunflowers around it, and then,the bedroom downstairs in another building just besides the house.

Night falls on the fields,after dinner, its time to sleep, though there was just a tiny bit of a problem.

--I can take the bed on the library, I wont bother

--That bed up there Will give you a back ache

--It Will not affect my abilities tomorrow,mistress

--There you go again with that, call me jimawari or jima...,and theres no way youre sleeping up there

--But mistress-- im sorry mis jimawari im not worthy of sharing a bed with you

The woman huffs and takes his prosthetic hand, almost dragging him outside and into the bedroom..

--sleep,now....

He has no choice but to obey,he lays on the soft cotton bed,green covers slide over him as jimawari's hand Grace his face--You comfortable?

His cheeks redden , he nodds and hides his face on the pillow.

That soft bellchime that was her chuckles is all he can hear before she lays on the bed with him.

--Good night wolf

He can feel her back against his.

--Goodnight miss Jimawari...

Sun appears in the horizon marking the beginning of the day,and with it wolfs quest.

--Be careful out there wolf

Jimawari said,the Man softly grabs her hands pressing them to his chest-- As long as my heart beats any mission given Will be a mission done,mistress jimawari...

She sighs looking up to him and noddind--Good luck...

And so his form is lost into the fields.

Mission given mission done,sort of.

The battle was fierce, Many Many guards more than one could count were protecting the weapons.

The maze was really easy to get lost into,the people guarding it were good warriors,fallen by those same weapons they custodied.

Yet he accomplished his task, and though wounded he came back to the house with the weapons.

--Wolf!--jima said holding him as he fell-look at you! What happened?

She sits him in one of the sofá like furniture in the livingroom, grabbing a bunch of bandages.

--They were fierce warriors,but nonetheless im here

Jimawari huffs and sits with him-- strip

--W what ?

--strip I need to patch up your wounds...

The Man,a stuttering mess by now, does as he is told, taking the superior part of his armor,leaving his flesh exposed.

--Look at you,youre a mess...

And so with baby Pink cheeks the kunoichi treats his injuries.

--Take this--she said handing him a cup with tea--It Will help to numb the pain away...-the shinobi takes it and drinks from it,warm and fuzzy,Like the feelings in his chest.

--Now with my weapons ill be able to help you with your Next task...

--Mistress you need to stay here...--wolf cared deeply for her,even with a day of knowing her.

He didnt want to see her injured or worst.. dead...

He already lost enough people.

--Look wolf I--

She sighed and her gaze softened looking down at the Fire just under the kettle.----Sunflowers search the light,when they dont they turn to eachother, and maybe just like them we can face eachother until light comes,you dont have to face this by yourself,wolf.

The shinobi looks away and turns his gaze on the teacup in his hands.

--Its my solemn duty...

--But that doesnt mean you cant get help....

--mistress I do not want to see you hurt...

--But your words hurt more knowing that you wont let me go with you,I too dont want to see you hurt..or dead...

Both look into the others eyes before looking away.

--Ill go and get a book from upstairs...maybe I can find a recipe to help your injuries heal..

She leaves the cup on the little table and walks up to a flight of handstairs, as she climbs her hands slip,and with a missed step she is doomned to hit the ground.

Only that a pair of arms catch her just in time.

--Thank you wolf...--her laughter was nervous as her cheeks were red with shame.

The Man lets his gaze linger a bit longer before setting her back to her feet,his cheeks equally red.

--Ill go and get it,I Wont trip this time...

--Let me go with you...for good measure...

She chuckles and nodds,both go upstairs, checking some of the shelves.

Theres an idol on top of an shelf.

--Its an altar to elementus,goddes of all.

-Goddes of all?what is that that you mean?

--Different religions I suppose

she holds a sunflower in her hand

--And to think people kill eachother for things like this ,right ?but Us wolf...we are different...

He lets out a grunt in agreement before grabbing a book with a green cover.

Its full of poems,tales And beautiful drawings.

--Oh thats mine,in my free time I like to make things...

--These are amazing mistress--he flipped through the book amazed by the Grace of her creations.

--You can flip through it,lets go downstairs and you can get some rest...come on

And so the afternoon goes away as both stay in silence, jimawari making the remedie and him looking at her art.

Theres an amazing,but unfinished drawing of him, he felt flattered.

A soft smile graced his lips its been a long time since he last smiled. --Its not done yet--hes startled as jima sits with him, handing him the medicinal tea--If you sit still ill be able to finish it

--Yes please--- Im sorry I meant...as you please mistress...

--Its flatterint hearing you calling me that, wolf, but use it when you have an actual excuse to use it

She winks at him grabbing the pencil inside of the book-stay still

The Mans cheeks are red as Fire,burning just like it as he nodds and keeps his posture.

He was probably making a fool of himself.

But its worth it when he gets to see her smile.
