Chapter 11: Tutoring/A Date

We were at school and it was finally lunch time. We were all sitting at our table and I said, "Hey Kiba? After we are done I need to talk to you ok? Alone." "That's fine." So Today we just ate in silence. Our presence was enough for our friends.

When we were done eating I told the others and Loki to meet me in the class room. They all agreed. Loki agreed reluctantly. He told me to be careful. I nodded and understood. Then I went somewhere where kids don't normally go and pulled him over. "I have a feeling I know what this is about. So shoot." Said Kiba. "Well ok then. I wanted to know what happened to me so I told uncle Leo and Loki I was going for a walk. I didn't tell them where I would be. I wanted to know what happened but I was told it happened in the forest somewhere. I walked all the places I can think of then when I got to the place I assumed it happened, my head hurt. It hurt so much I cried in pain and was about to turn when I felt someone's presence. I was scared because I was so out of it I didn't know who it was. I kept saying so this is where I die. I guess it was my time. Then I blacked out. I didn't get a chance to see who or what it was. The next thing I remember I was at my uncles waking up. Apparently I had a fever. I remember a most of what happened I was protecting my uncle from being attacked my a werewolf. I remember seeing him before I fell. It was you Kiba. I remember now. I don't think you knew who I was at the time that is probably why you ran away. Were you really after my uncle or me at the time?" "I see so you do remember. I'm sorry. Your right I didn't know it was you. At that time I was doing my nightly run to use my energy I had and didn't think to check who it was first. I wasn't really after anyone. Unless people are camping here there really isn't anyone usually out here. I wish I can control my form and turn human when I want. But I can't my brother can because he is not a purebred like me." "(sigh) Look at me Kiba." Kiba kept his head down. "Kiba. Please look at me." He lifted his head and his face was showing a sincere face. "I know you are sorry. I have forgiven you after I found out it was you. If it had been anyone else I don' t know if that is the case." "'Well then if you have forgiven me then I can tell you. I was the one coming for you when you were scared that day. I wasn't going to attack you I was going to comfort you. Once you passed out I took you to my house. You had a terrible fever. My brother and I took care of you." "Do you mind if I met your brother sometime? I want to thank him for helping me." "I will let you know at school tomorrow what he says ok? We better hurry or the bell is going to ring before we get there." So we ran and got there a few seconds before the bell rang. The teacher said. "Cutting it close aren't we? Well I'll let it pass since its your first time doing this and both of you don't get in the habit ok?" "Yes maam." We both said.

Finally the classes were done an we headed home. Kiba got permission to Tudor us certain days. Monday Wednesday and Fridays unless there is a test coming up then he had permission to come a week before then that week until the test. Today was Friday so Kiba was coming home with us.

"Hey Uncle I'm home." "Oh hello Akela and Loki. Oh you're here too. Is it that day already? Wow time does fly doesn't it Aqua?" "Yeah it sure does." Aqua was pregnant with our little cousin. Since Leo is our uncle now. "Hehe." "What's so funny?" Said Leo. "Oh nothing. Nothing at all. By the way Aqua your looking good." "Oh thank you. I feel a little tired but its to be expected. Leo is taking good care of me." "Well that's good." Aqua was 6 months pregnant with twins they wanted them to be a surprise. The babies will stay int their room until they are old enough then they will share rooms with us depending on what they are. I will be 17 when she is 8 months pregnant. Well maybe not on the day but its after the date she turns 8 months. They want the baby to be a surprise.

"OK are we ready to study everyone?" said Kiba. "Yes Kiba." Loki and I said. Loki and I were having problems with different parts of math so after he taught me first, he taught Loki while I was working on the problem. Then he checked my work while Loki was working on the problem. "Lets see your work Akela." I had him look at my work to see if I got it down. "(sigh) Your keep forgetting the same thing as before. I'll tell you what. I will write down the directions of how to solve these problems then on Monday when I come over I can check it. Sound good?" "Thanks so much you're a lifesaver Kiba. In more ways than one. Hehe." "Sure now do the next problem. Loki how are you doing on the problem I had you do?" "Just finished it. How does it look?" Kiba looked at Loki's work and said, "Well you did better than last time your still forgetting this part. He had a red pen and fixed the mistake for him. "Oh oops. Thanks." "OK for both of you work on the next problem and look at how I corrected your work to see what you did wrong. I'm going to write down directions on how to do your math problems ok?" "Yes sir." We both said. Then we did our work while he wrote stuff down. We finally finished our first row and Kiba finally finished his writing. "Ok I'm done writing now. Let me check your work." He looked over my work and said very good. Now I'm going to give you a problem and see if you can work it out. Give me your homework paper while you work on it." I gave him the paper and worked on my problem and he did the same thing to Loki. A little bit later we finished I showed him my work first. "Good you have got it down. Lets see yours Loki." He gave him his work and said, "Congratulations you both have got your work down. On Monday when I come by I want you to work on it and after you finish I want to see your work ok? I don't want to see any mistakes." "Yes sir." We both said. "Now is there any other subject you need help in?" "Oh yeah in art class we were supposed to draw how we wanted our life to be in 5 years. I don't know what to put?" "Neither do I?" said Loki. Then Kiba described what he wanted to do and said, "I know it will never come true though." Then I said, "If you work hard for it even if it breaks the rules and you are kicked out, at least you are doing what you want. When I want something I don't' let anything get in my way and if something does I never give up trying." "Haha sounds like you Akela. Well since you put it that way you should figure it out soon enough you have until next Friday to figure it out." "Hmph your no help." I play pouted and he knew. "I wish I could but I can't read your mind. Think of it yourself. I'm sure Loki, your aunt and uncle can help." "Yeah good idea. Thanks a lot. You gave me a great idea." "Ok glad to hear it. Well I better go get home before too late." "OK bye Kiba. See you Monday." "Yeah see you." Then he was out the door.

"Hey I have an idea that might help?" Said Loki. "Tomorrow we have the day off. I have something to show you. Its springtime now so you'll love it. Oh and bring your art stuff with you. I know how much you like it." "Oh ok cool." We did the rest of our homework then had dinner and it was time for bed.

In the middle of the night Akela was having a dream. It wasn't a happy one. It was one where she ended up sleep walking. Loki heard some noise and followed her. He didn't know she was sleep walking because she had never done it before.

They both ended up in the forest and Loki noticed she was headed home and was confused. Loki whispered. "Akela what are you doing?" Quiet enough she couldn't hear. She went in and laid in her normal place where she slept in the den and got comfortable. She even turned into her wolf form. Loki watched her every move. She got up again and was scratching a wall like she was trapped somewhere. Loki thought this was a good time to wake her. He picked her up and carried her out. She was still trying to scratch at something. Loki had his face far enough she couldn't scratch him. She was whimpering in her sleep. Then Loki started calling Akela's name.

"Akela. Akela." 'Is someone calling me? Who could it be? I'm cold and uncomfortable where am I?' "Akela! Akela!" "Hmm." She opened her eyes slowly and saw Loki standing over her. "Loki? Is that you?" "Yes its me are you ok?" "I think so but where are we?" "Well I guess you were sleep walking. You ended up in your parents house and laid down then got up and started clawing on the wall then I picked you up and laid you here." "Oh I'm sorry for the trouble Loki. No wonder I was freezing and uncomfortable. I was dreaming about you. You were in danger and I came to help you. I ended up in the same cell you were in. You were in bad condition. I had to try to get us out to get help or you would die. Then I heard someone calling my name. Then when I saw you I was relived it was a dream. I was so scared Loki. I thought you had really died." I sat up and hugged him. "Its ok I'm here. I'll always be here for you no matter what." Then I started calming down and Loki said, "Lets get you home and warm you up." He carried me and put his coat on me. "Won't you be cold?" "Its only a short distance don't worry about it."

We finally got home an Loki helped me to bed. "Ok there you go. Nice and warm." "Loki? Can you lay with me just for tonight? I don't want to have that dream again." "OK get under you covers." Then he turned into his wolf form and I snuggled with him the rest of the night.

The next morning Leo and Aqua got up before Akela and Loki did. They thought it strange. They went into Akela's room to see if she was ok. Leo quietly opened the door and saw Akela snuggled up go Loki in his wolf form. Then they went out and let them sleep longer. "She must have had a bad dream. That's usually why that happens." "Aww. I hope she is ok." "With Loki around I'm sure she will be."

A couple of hours later Loki woke up before Akela. He turned in his human form and felt her head. He was relieved she didn't have a fever so she should wake up soon. He got off the bed and sat down on a chair next to her until she woke up. Lukily it was only a few minutes later when she did. "Hmm." She felt around and couldn't feel Loki. Then she felt someone grab her other hand. she looked over and saw Loki. "Oh your already up." "Yeah sorry. Didn't mean to scare you." "No its fine. I'm hungry." "Haha you and food. Never changes. Lets go get some food before your tummy starts talking." We went to the dining room and saw Leo and Aqua.

"Sorry to wake up so late. Had a little bit of an issue. Its settled now." Said Loki. "Ok that's good." "I figured it would be awhile so I just finished breakfast." Said Leo. "Oh you made this? Should we eat it Akela?" "Well even if its not edible we should finsh it. He did make it after all." "Hey you two! Is my cooking really that bad?" "Well lets taste it and find out." I said. "Ok lets taste it at the same time Akela." "Ok sure." "Ready?" We got our forks ready then he said, "Set….1….2…3….Eat!" We took a bite and surprisingly wasn't that bad. It wasn't the best but it was edible. "Wow uncle. You've improved." Said Loki. "Well thank you." We finished our breakfast and I said, "So when are we leaving for this place?" "Oh we will leave around lunch time. I plan to stay until sunset. Don't worry uncle its not that far." "Ok just don't stay too late ok? Be back by dinner." "Yes uncle." I said.

Finally it was lunchtime. We didn't eat because Loki said he had a surprise for me. So we said goodbye to aunt and uncle then headed out. I brought my art stuff with me like Loki told me too. '

I noticed we were heading into the forest. "Uh Loki? Where are we going?" "Don't worry you will see. Its not far now." We walked and extra mile and were at our destination.

"OK here we are." Said Loki. "Wow! Beautiful! How did you find this place?" "It's a secret. If I tell you I'd have to kill you type of thing." Then I looked at him and laughed. He laughed too. "But I'm serious though. I can't tell you." "OK then." So we continued in and sat down on a blanket where he had a picnic basket on a blanket waiting for me. "Aww you shouldn't have. Loki." "Its fine. Plus this will help you relax and maybe help us with our homework on where we want to be in 5 years." "Well I know in almost 3 years I want to get married to you and have a baby a year after we are married that is all I know right now." "Well that's a start. But we need more than that though. What do we want to do besides get married and have kids?" said Loki. "Hmm. Well it's a long time out but I want to start to become an artist. But then again I don't I want to eventually go back home. I miss everyone there." I said. I was almost in tears and Loki noticed. "Hey come here. I didn't bring you here to cry. We are here to relax." "Hehe sorry." "I have an idea. When we get married as humans we can go back home until you decide what you want to do. How does that sound?" "That sounds like a plan. How are we going to put that in our art project." "You can put that you want to be an artist. They don't have to know about your decision. Just put a cross like this, draw and write what you want to do in each box." He wrote in my sketch book to give me an idea. "Oh good Idea. Are you going to do that too? Where do you want to be in 5 years Loki?" "Well the wedding and the baby thing is ok. So I got two boxes down. As for the other two I will figure it out. Don't worry. Hey Akela? What do you think I'm good at?"
