Six Pillar Summit (Part 1)

He ran a few more steps toward Tazuna, pretending to give him chase. Just as he had expected, Tazuna took off, sprinting in the opposite direction. Riku smirked and eventually gave into his childish antics; their Human forms trickled away, as their Wolf forms took over their bodies.

Riku sidestepped around a large tree, before he suddenly stopped. He originally intended a playful sneak. However, what he didn't intend on was Tazuna popping up right beside him.

Riku screamed and lost his footing, before he collided with a thick bush. Now back in his Human form, Riku saw Tazuna was hiding another laugh. But this time, the Grey Wolf didn't feel offended. He felt his chest bubble; before he knew it, he covered his mouth, as he struggled to hold back a laugh. Once he figured out what Tazuna's true intentions were, Riku laughed for the first time in a long time.

Hearing such a hearty laugh, Tazuna immediately turned to face Riku.
