The North Then the West (Chapter 2)
I had to sleep. I hated that one weakness that all creatures required. Youkai could go many days without normal sleep but eventually even we needed to find somewhere to bed down and pass out. I had learned Katashi's scent like it was almost my own. I was definitely on his trail and would soon meet up with him. I had found a large Kunugi tree and settled beneath it. Katashi's scent filled my senses as I passed into slumber.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8u4QSGGgE

I was beneath the tree and I was not alone. I felt warm breath on my neck that moved to the shell of my delicately pointed ear. A tongue darted out and licked along the shell. Lips gently pulled my ear lobe into a hot waiting mouth, teeth gently nibbled. I moaned but still I did not move. My breathing became quicker as those lips moved slowly down the side of my neck to the pulse point that met at that juncture between shoulder and neck. My breath started coming out as panting. I waited for the biting sensation but was startled when feather light kisses were placed instead. I felt a hand slip inside my haori and cup my breast, it was being gently massaged and its weight felt. I felt a claw ever so lightly dragged across the nipple. I gasped in pleasure. By the Kami I was getting hot so very quickly. My haori was ripped open forcefully and a head bent down and captured that same nipple and starting nibbling and sucking. I let out a guttural moan. I wanted to see and I could not. My senses were being assaulted and I squirmed under the ministrations. My chest was bare and attention was alternated to my other breast. My beast was just below the surface, howling but I was only being allowed to reach a certain point. Unbearable heat pooled in my nether regions and I wanted to beg for release. Expert claws inched down to my hakama and undid the ties and my obi. Deftly one hand reached in and cupped my sex. I squirmed and a whine came from me.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0JApsgqax
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBH03gajTY
"Yes!" I growled.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnuDdUbs6r
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RI5iKMULo
I knew my eyes were crimson and my fangs had elongated. I was biting my lower lip so hard that my own blood filled my mouth. Two fingers slid into my impossibly wet and scorching center. I was neither moving nor participating and I could not figure out why. Whines and moans continued to escape my lips. My mouth was captured in a heated and demanding kiss. This was meant to dominate and illicit obedience. I actually tried to fight it. My invisible lover's tongue swept across my lower lip and demanded entrance. My rational mind did not want to grant him access but my beast was devouring it all. Our tongues were battling and I know he could taste my blood on his tongue now. I heard a growl and the fingers in my center increased in pace. A thumb was added to my clit that rubbed in circular motions. I turned my head and broke away from the kiss and snarled. Kami I needed release so bad but this phantom was stoking the fires but no more. I wanted to buck my hips hard to meet the thrust of the fingers but I could not. I felt soft hair touch my upper thighs and the fingers slipped from me. I cried out in protest. I felt a tongue flick my clit and I groaned loudly.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6HhaouNYg
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y2IurD0v6
"Please, please!" I whined.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JXH88LBMt
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1RpnrxkiB
I thought I heard a laugh but I was so far gone that I would not have cared. I felt the tongue enter me and I was sweating profusely. Moments later my clit was being sucked on and teeth dragging ever so lightly across it. It was throbbing and the tension was so tight in my body, I almost wanted to cry in utter frustration. The fingers slid back inside of me at the same time of the assault on my clit. I felt the vibrations of a growl against my center and the sensations threw me over the edge. Blood roared in my ears and I was blinded by the intensity. My whole body shook and my walls tightened and released the digits inside of me. I screamed my release and I startled myself awake.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PqDpzbpap

I looked around for any signs of anyone and I was alone. The woodland creatures were making small noises but that was all. I felt wetness in my nether regions. I shuddered from the after effects of my release. My clothes were not affected and I stood up. I needed to find a spring so I could wash.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SigP9TrQX
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOz5xpGLxf
It took me a few minutes to find a small stream. I would have preferred a hot spring but I just needed to clean off the evidence of my arousal. I pondered the realism of my dream and decided that I needed a really good rut and soon. My last thoughts were of the idiot, Katashi. My eyes widened at the thought of him being my phantom lover and I scoffed at the idea. I could not deny the fact that he was a beautiful male. Looks were not everything and I would not be dominated by a foreigner or a male. I was the first female heir in recent memory and I would not be a demure bitch for anyone or anything. My father expected me to act in a similar fashion that he did, it served him well all these centuries. I removed my clothing and slipped into the cold water and lightly scrubbed my skin with my claws. Goose bumps were raised on my flesh but the water did not bother too much. I had shortened my hair in the battle with Katashi by a good twelve inches to where it came to the top of my rear. I finished my ministrations and slipped back to the shore and redressed myself. I slipped my katana back into my obi.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOARTafErgX

I made my way through the forest in the general direction on the Northern Citadel. I was in the ookami territory. I felt certain that I would not be turned away. I knew I would not have to wait long. I never had to when I did not mask my aura and scent. The more powerful youkai could sense not only what I was but who I was; lesser youkai just knew to get the hell out of the way. I saw a funnel cloud approaching a short distance away. I stood my ground and waited for the Prince of the Ookami.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQoCLfNDnr
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgPHsspEMY
"Oi! Asuna, what brings you this far north onna?" he said stopping right in front of me.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2mGvcKYge
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOls4i8zovY
"Prince Kouga." I inclined my head.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhQrFctMcS
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvevYRCti1
"Answer the question Inu." He said irritated.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3USK6MrSZ
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR3hnKciZv
"I am searching for a foreign inu that did not present himself to my father. Have you heard or seen this youkai?" I asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUoNFgZZ8i
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjKI2p4BKu
"Hai! He is at the dens. Ayame' is entertaining him now." He answered.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5l0yorsps
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWgR83Fs01
"Prince Kouga, I ask that I attend to your lovely mate."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17FdgZHWDT
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jXg8dYxrU
"Hai. What are you planning Ice Princess?" he asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa5SjEH9CQ
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnezrfeILcn
"I will respect your house ookami." I said through clenched teeth.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5NomUpQBR
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGdm6DKE5L
"Fine follow me then." He said taking off in a run.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o8NyxTL3g
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBwl3a1J9X
I had to run in order to follow him. The Northern Citadel was actually very elaborate dens in which the ookami reigned. I was flustered and angry and wondered why my father continued to have an alliance with these beasts. My curiosity was piqued and I wanted to know why Katashi was hanging around the ookami. I was obsessed and needed to exorcise the obsession. I entered a solid rock valley. There were rooms carved out of the cliff face. It truly was a wonder but I still thought the ookami less civilized than the inu. Prince Kouga went in search of his mate. Moments later I felt that aura that I felt before. Princess Ayame and Katashi brought up the rear behind Kouga and I braced myself for any kind of altercation. The other inu stole my breath. I managed to control my reaction and stood by stoically. I managed a better look at him this time. His hair was so black it had a blue sheen to it. His eyes could be described as emeralds, ever changing. No crest adorned his forehead but his marks on his cheeks were a pale blue in color. He wore his hair loose and it spilled down his back. He had on a black silk hakama with a matching under haori. He wore an outer masculine kimono of sorts that depicted a garden with many smaller dragons. The main fabric was blood red with black, gold, and silver weaved throughout. He wore a smirk on his sensuous lips that I really would have liked to slap off of him.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViqjV3DKYH
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9zdC4CgrK
"Lady Asuna." Ayame bowed.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhUs3jDzeR

"Princess." I greeted through clenched teeth.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dnqqaboqT

"This is Lord Katashi. He is a distant cousin to my clan. He hails from the continent." She explained.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONfvIF8p4Y
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnspP8zLQE
I stared him down and smirked at my soon to be prey.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z1anOkneK
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMrIUuZNb1
"Hegang, Manchuria actually but who really cares." He piped in.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc6ri5MzPO
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt89Lyda0al
"You are ookami then?" I asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzelHdPohEk
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaOgNL6i1u
"Distantly. Mostly inu but come you knew that already Lady Asuna." He answered haughtily.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIMZmVX9SE
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H5NBhSCeD
"You will finish the battle vermin!" I snarled.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUA5aqLHzY
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo35KIOLpZ
"Lady Asuna, he is a guest of the North. As much as I cannot stand dog breath, he is still a guest." Kouga stated coming between me and my prey.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdg8Dnc4aF
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BMkJXcGT9
"No Kouga. I would very much like to put this arrogant bitch in her place." Katashi answered.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OKJWAIY0G
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdEgry5RWx
"You could try." I taunted.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQPhX2jrEU
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r4PoxiR5A
Katashi rushed me and managed to knock me down. I growled very loudly and jumped to my feet.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg30Unovw0S
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB14K3sgpa8
"Rules Lady." He said713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsJ3La24Xi
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbReBX9KQwT
"Rules?" I asked surprised.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGYBzeChGG
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7xryP14Zb
"None of our poisons. This will be a contest of strength and speed." He stated.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF5oMizOUs
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveFXX1WL6O
"What is the point in that?" I asked in shock.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhykaFdErZa
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr1LzUVuDW
"Well I can settle this little vendetta you have and I can go on about my business." He said smirking dangerously.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAJF7qrwjH
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1XZiuXEc6
"You have the gall of traversing through Japan and do not present yourself to the Lord of the Inu? You insult his heir and trespass. Death is your only option." I seethed.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo20YgBiPp
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVQMTY5XkY
"What you see as my insults, I see as nothing." He answered.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7McQtrKkG4
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDFHrVG1i9
"You came upon me remember?" I growled.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYhArWoC6M
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHI79dPf39
"How could I forget?" he answered thickly.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXQULkNwt9
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQfuRQigCy
I realized at that moment that I had indeed met a very dangerous opponent. Ayame and Kouga stared at each other having no idea how Katashi and I met. The bastard had watched me in a weak and vulnerable moment and I could not forgive him of it.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS576EbA3yT
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGadWnqKq36
"What angers you more Lady that I caught you or I did not kiss your feet?" he said sarcastically.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqp4KSp6Zf
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKw0FXya1d
He had goaded me into losing my temper and I came at him with my claws. I wounded him the neck and he looked at me in surprise.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWxoRTOlcr
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAMJR8DL3a
"Bitch!" he snarled.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2sEAHcqfT
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTdUvDtCu6
"Quit stating the obvious." I taunted.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarFhCSNzgW
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP8WcQl197
He tackled me to the ground and I saw the looks on the two ookami faces. They were dumbfounded and their guest and I did not seem to notice them at all. Katashi straddled my hips and had his claws around my throat squeezing the breath out of me. I bucked him off of me and went for his gorgeous and arrogant face. Both he and I were going feral and Kouga actually looked concerned.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1QjbmWqzM
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SWEgBtlG0
"I want you." He snarled at me.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCVcGGG9F0
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCVBoEVLkR
"Want me how cur?" I growled.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS2bAXrEhu
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi8MuzRFlh
"Withering under me screaming my name as you submit to me."713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGcOo3au27
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBPmpyQ1Pb
"NEVER." I barked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F99f0QxY5
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04yY8rDIXb
He grabbed my hair and pulled me to him. I snapped my fangs at him and he took the opportunity to ravage my mouth. He thrust his tongue into my mouth and swept it along my fangs. I bit his tongue and tasted the coppery essence. He groaned and continued to posses my senses until I pushed him off of me. I slashed his face and blood welled up.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjNLcrCzIB
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa29XzV3ca
"ENOUGH!" Kouga yelled.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWWPlVEp3J
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRpPOCvTmd
Katashi and I both stared at the ookami and I stepped back and bowed formally.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFnLpBP9MK
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy3Wh75ajt
"I apologize Prince Kouga. I will take my leave of you and your guest. Have the courage to finish this cur." I muttered.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpVvjRmaGX
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImcCHoHqx3
"Oh I will finish it bitch." He whispered back.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWq8mJUh82
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L1usc6F3o
"Lady Asuna, I suggest you head back to the West." Kouga commanded.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KDotUX9I3
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZP66n8WGL
"At once." I said turning on my heel to leave.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriTEYUwyLr
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde9Z9A9I52
"I shall call upon you my Lady to finish what I started." Katashi called after me.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVnFNBGcTU
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMCFXlDFL2
"See that you do filth. I look forward to gutting you." I answered.
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS6mogeRLO
I left the Northern Citadel and made my way back into the forest outside of it. I sat upon a large rock and pondered the turn of events. I was in trouble, very big trouble.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ73YT0Y0hq
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA1Bp9ewxW
I had to get back to the palace as soon as I could. Katashi was going to come after me now. I would feel better in my territory where I knew every tree and stone. I lost my temper and allowed him too close; I did not listen closely enough to my father. Katashi wanted to dominate me because I was not like every other inu bitch. I did not roll over and bare my neck for every alpha male. I had a hard time even submitting to my own sire. He usually did not require it of me but I also was raised to respect his power. I had put myself in a precarious position because of my pride.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4GUCYhc8C
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzPMRmtEQK
"Damn." I muttered under my breath.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FXBmwU3MH
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRTTRVR3IF
Why did I have to lose my temper like Uncle Yasha? I would not succumb; I would be the master of my own world. There was no place in my life for weakness.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSY3x4pUPc
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacfCkU6PvC
It took me four days to reach the Western lands from my foray into the North. I had slew several lesser youkai on the way to the palace and it helped my mood lighten.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld9eQulDUc
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsykX1N7llb
I walked through the gates and yelled for Jaken.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7weHJCw53
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOygrCmHRS8
"Yes milady?" he came before prostrate.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVFbSlqpja
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NPBn60u3c
"Get me all the information you can gather on the ruling youkai of Manchuria. Tell my Lord that I have returned and to expect company." I commanded.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ6qi2xFEx
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh22Orq5jS
"Yes Lady Asuna. What else may I do for you?" He squeaked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bKEHSKVFk
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbUmOjdzyJ
"You may do as you were bid. Be away with you toad." I said irritated.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrTAVv1g7i
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp3vi0QbLm
Jaken scampered away I went to my chambers. I knew that my mother and father would soon be here to interrogate me of my actions. I shed my bloodied and dirty haori and hakama. I opted to dress as formal as possible and pulled out a kimono that was in the West's traditional colors. I pulled on my inner kimono of red silk. It was covered in Sakura blossoms, ribbons, and birds. I covered the red one with one of the whitest silk. It had the honey comb designs on the sleeves with blossoms too. I wrapped a wide red and gold obi around my waist under my breasts.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkoKxKpprB

"Mayu!" I called for my maid servant.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbhJqoeBs1

713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0asxUcBFN
She quickly grabbed traditional combs and started to pull my hair up into a very elaborate style. She also put blossoms in my hair, and greens tassels. I looked into a mirror and nodded my approval.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWoZGZ3vl6
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYlxox8ITY
"Thank you Mayu. I expect that my father and mother will be here very soon, could you please see to it that there is fresh tea?" I asked the neko.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUvOkuZnum

713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU38PQzF8l
I knew my parents would be in shock at my formal attire. My mother would actually be elated that I would be dressing like the lady I was supposed to portray. I did not wait long. I turned around and at the shoji screen door I saw my sire's outline. There was a sharp rap on the screen before it opened and my father entered, followed closely by my mother.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL8S6LJ4fv

"What did you do?" my mother asked.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpBYJU0qa5

713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFL1Pvb9dH
"I challenged the inu I spoke to you both about. It turns out he is a taiyoukai from Manchuria. He is also distantly related to Princess Ayame." I informed them.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ObB5BjGT5
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZmjpLmTLu
"How exactly did you challenge him Asuna?" mother asked narrowing her eyes.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1burDNM3ro

My father raised a single claw to silence us and we did. I could tell my mother was fuming but I refused to allow her in my mind. She was glaring daggers at me and I stared blankly in return.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflymTWjPAC
713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MMqamymxH
"We will receive this foreign lord when he arrives and then we shall see what happens from there. I imagine that if fighting will take place that it can be done in the arena." My father stated; matter of factly.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtj6lGNVX3

I could not tell if he was furious or merely annoyed. I would face whatever it was he desired and that would have to suffice. My mother hated conflict and tried with all energies to avoid it and stop it at every turn. Because of her, the West had enjoyed a very prosperous and peaceful time. At the appointed time, I made my way to my father's study and entered. He was sitting at his desk rubbing his temples.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2uoENRhfj

"It is rumored that a clan of Inu with great power left Japan during your Grand Sire's early reign. This Katashi's sire was named Takeshi." He replied.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGDJhPnniM

Close to two millennia ago there had been three great clans of Inu. One had been absorbed into our own, The House of the Moon. The other had left Japan, probably to seek glory and power else where. The islands were not big enough to support too many beings of immense power. The Inu no Taisho had been almost a Kami. I went back into my father's study and went to a section on the far wall that pertained to the histories of Japan. I pulled down several scrolls and started to read. I was right about the Inu that had left Japan. There was no known whereabouts of the lost clan but I knew the current Lord of He Gang was here. I had the feeling that it was going to be a down right bloody affair with Lord Katashi. A chill went down my spine and I continued to read. I heard Jaken mumbling and I looked up.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxPIlkrpwo

The kappa turned blue in fright and I laughed. He scurried out of the study and I chuckled. I left and went to the gardens and waited.713Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9uPup4ydF
