11 Impending Danger (1/2)

Some hours later that night the wolf came back holding its prey, or whatever was left of it, in its mouth. But by the blood that soaked the wolfs paws and maw Yu could tell that it had its fill and that it actually meant to give him the food, as to whether it was out of guilt from eating his own or because it had started to open up to him, he had no idea.

'At least it has a unconscious'

When he looked at the bloody mess of a corps his appetite had dwindled, and with the little meal from earlier on Yu had lost all intent on eating.

Apparently though the wolf didn't agree, as after it dropped the prey in front of his feat it kept staring at him with a look of expectation.

Smiling at the gesture Yu softly declines the wolf

”A great hunt but I'm very full, Il eat it some other time”

The wolf, not in the slightest moved, keeps staring at Yu with its eyes as if it's his job to eat.

Realizing the situation Yu frowns a bit and looks at the raw meat, and after several seconds of contemplation he sighs and picks up what he thinks to be a rib and takes a decisive bite, spraying blood all over his cloths.

'Oh bummers I can't even make a fire since anyone who might come will see it, or it could even lead someone here and the last thing I need is a screw up in my plans.'

Directing a painful smile at the wolf as he eats Yu curses the ancestors of the bloody deer for tasting so bitter and chewy, he hated chewy food, it was in fact his second most hated type of food.

'But this is good as well, cubs in infancy catch prey for their parents and get them to eat it as to demonstrate filial piety which means things are going rather well.'

That was in fact the reason Yu ate so willingly, as his life depends on the future cooperation of the wolf he needs to get it to listen to him which would defiantly save him from incidents similar to the one from Kore's mansion.

But as he chewed on he spotted a flash that went through the wolfs eyes, which sent shivers down his spine.

'What was that just now? isn't it bringing food to demonstrate loyalty? why did I suddenly feel danger.. wait unless? No that's ridicules'

Shaking the silly thoughts out of his head Yu looks back at the wolf with a smile throwing what happened at the back of his mind and attributing it to the raw meat causing him to imagine things.

After what seemed like an eternity of nausea to Yu, which was barley a few minutes, he finally finished the rib and looked toward the now satisfied wolf, which soon took its place beside Yu and went to a happy deep sleep, as if they were in a picnic and not the battlefield.

Its actions stunned Yu for a good few moments before he himself sat down fell into light sleep with his last thought being how great would it be if he was as carefree in his actions.

'Right since we will be spending some time together from now on I should name it, after all it wouldn't be practical calling out to it without a name, but for now... Il..... sleep..'

And so he fell asleep, with blood still covering his face, next to the bloodied wolf, creating a dangerous scene that contrast their peaceful sleep.

*On the evening of third day*

Next to the mansion beside the stream, a figure was making its way toward the doors with a sly grin on her face.

'Found another great practice target for lil sis, That cutie must be antsy to prove herself I'm afraid she will want to go right now'

With wide strides the figure reached the door before a frown suddenly found itself into her beautiful face.

'Where are the servants? no one opened the door to greet me, seems like these garbage got too relaxed thinking their important by being here, Il make sure the family gets their low ranks straight when we finish this contest'

With irritation the girl with vigorous youth enters the quite mansion, at which point she notices the unexpected silence.

'Even if their slacking where are the guards? lil sis couldn't have let them run free this mu... wait it couldn't have affected her that much right ?'
