Gonna Have a Good Time [Makato/Open]

Remus was about to give up when the she-devil spun around, looking as though she was about to pull off his ears. He shrunk back, his softer side showing. "I'm not playing a game anymore! Not hiding what I feel! I don't care what you think! What you're really doing, is pissing me off. Is that straightforward enough for you?" Her voice was raising, getting louder as her rage flew. Remus shrunk back. He didn't care anymore either. She could think he was a hopeless pup. Anger burnt through his chest. "Listen, Sacred," he growled, pushing higher up, standing tall, "We both play the same game. You're good at it. I'm not going to judge you. I'm just trying to play back. So whether you're ready or not, if you think you can play with me, you better prepare for it to come right back," His eyes were burning, his sides heaving. He hardly heard her last words as a few tears filled his eyes, and he turned away quickly. She was too much like many other wolves, like a certain heir, a certain maiden. His eyes closed as he took off into the trees.

Remus continued to run, but stopped eventually. Just as he did, he heard Sacred racing through the forest after him. He sat down and stared away from her approaching figure. She sat beside him and looked away from him. She spoke.

"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have blown up like that....It's just..It's just that..I'm afraid of water. It terrifies me....So when you tried to push me in the river, I was petrified. I know you were just trying to joke around and I'm sorry"

Sacred's voice was slightly ashamed, and her voice was soft. Remus turned to look at her.

"I'm sorry Sacred. If you had just told me, I would've stopped,"

His voice was a quiet murmur, and displayed shame that he hadn't realized.

Remus watched Sacred's body language, and realized she was ashamed of her fear. Her eyes studied the ground, and he glanced down, deciding there was nothing that interesting to study down there.

"I didn't want you to think I was a coward... I thought you would nag me about it."

Sacred's voice was confessing, but soft as well. She sat up taller, as though she just earned a boost of confidence. Remus smiled. Confidence is a key to getting what you want, and sometimes it intimidates other's, which can be good.

"Of course not. Fear is not something to be joked about, babe. I fear a lot, and I would kill someone if they were to make fun of me about it. Everyone fears,"

His voice was soft. He sounded so aged, so ancient. He took a side-glance at Sacred, and then stared out into the forest. This was actually interesting for him. He remembered when Shira had injured his paw, and he helped her, took care of her in the oasis. He was very matured then, too. What was happening to him? What was changing him, altering him so drastically? Perhaps it was Shira, his true friend? Had she changed him, by making him responsible? His questions were endless, but he knew they would be answered as time went on.

"What's wrong?"

Sacred's voice broke his train of thought, like water crashing through a dam. He turned to her, and looked at her in confusion. What was she talking about? There was no way she couldn't had seen his face. He had been looking into the forest, and so was she.

"What do you mean?"

Remus was watching Sacred as she smiled at his very aged response. He smirked. Obviously she would notice his strange maturity.

"You looked really sad, and alone. You helped me, I figure it's time I try and help you.."

Remus raised his eyebrows, and stared at her for a moment. He was frustrated now, with Sacred, for being so observant.

"Honestly? Nothing. It's just that I was thinking of my really good friend,"

His voice was soft again as he thought of Shira, and Matilda. Although they both started off as games, he bonded with them quite a bit. But Matilda was the first wolf that had rejected him so thoroughly, and might as well had stabbed him in the back. He shook his head at the thought. She was a lot like Sacred, but Sacred had a good side to her, something sweet that made Remus think they could possibly be friends.

Sacred's expression turned teasing, along with her tone as she spoke again.

"A good friend, obviously female, hmm..I don't know can your heart break?"

Remus narrowed his orbs.

"When her father tries to kill me, and she aides him,"

His voice was curt, and with a glance at her, narrowed orbs, he turned his head away.

"What happened? Did she pass?"

Remus shook his head. Of course not!

"No! What about you? Have you ever had your heart broken?"

"He tried to kill you, and she helped! No offense but I don't think it was meant to be."

Sacred's voice was filled with shock. Remus raised his eyebrows. Then, Sacred began to tell her own tale.

"Only once was it shattered... When I was a pup, my family died in a raging current, and if that didn't kill them, the fall from the waterfall did...One of my brothers, Nickel, saved me but gave up his life in the process...He was the one I loved the most in my family..."

Her voice was quiet, but she took another breath, and Remus kept quiet as he listened to her.

"I've never really let anyone else get to close to me after that..Once when I was young and naive, I let a boy in..I knew I shouldn't have, but I thought he was different. The next thing I know, my heart i left in the dust. He turned away from me like I was the plague, and went off with my best friend. Your only the second person I've ever told.."

Remus nodded. He didn't say anything. She turned to look at him, face and eyes hard.

"I hate pity, and I knew that's what people would give me."

Remus nodded again. He knew what she meant. That's why he often made jokes of his past, and didn't say anything more. His stomach rumbled, and he grinned.

"I know what you mean, babe, but I'm getting pretty hungry. Got any food?"

He teased her slightly, breaking the sad mood. He raised his eyebrows, and rose to his four paws, looking at her eagerly.

Sacred grinned at him, stood up and stretched. Remus grinned back.

"What do you want?"

She had a cheeky expression, and her voice was high and excited. Her eyes shone. Remus let out a happy growl, almost like a purr, and moved away.

"Well, whatever suits your fancy,"

He began to move through the forest, his pawsteps light. He knew Sacred would follow. Now they were friends. They weren't just games anymore. It was a friendly relationship, and they were probably going to hunt together.

He followed his nose, the smell of prey managed to rouse him, and he followed it. In front of him was a pregnant deer. He stared at it for a moment, when suddenly, a buck came out after it. That was better.

"Sacred! Look at that!"

He whispered to not scare the creatures, and glanced back at them. Reus remained unnoticed.
