Alora sighed though nodded. "I hope so... I don't think anyone else could get her straight now..." she said softly and moved to lay down with him resting her head on his chest.*

Haren and a few of his boys looked up and some of them started growling. Haren's fur stood on end as for he couldn't remember Reyol's scent. He then calmed a bit when he sensed Kaji and Delta. "Who comes with you? You know only a few are let in here!" he growled some though stood his ground and made no attempt to attack the 'new' comer.*

Ratchet moved to wrap an arm around her and gave her a gentle kiss, "She'll be fine..."

Reyol straightened his shoulders and stood up tall, 'You know who I am Haren...' He spoke softly though he wasn't sure if Haren would be able to hear him correctly.

Delta moved in front of Reyol, "Look you should have seen his wolf form! He makes my Dad look like a runt..." He said looking at Haren

Haren growled a bit more though slowly calmed as he looked at the three. He had mostly calmed because he could see Kaji calm and he smirked at Delta a bit. He then looked to Reyol and cocked his head for a moment. "Man you're not like a runt anymore." he smirked some since Reyol and Heiwa both could kinda be concidered the runts of Alora's first litter... though really now it didn't seem like either were the runts. "Where'd your sis run this time? Saw your dad freak and run after something." he huffed as he then looked more directly to Kaji and Delta. He did have a bit of a soft side for their youngest sister though Kaji still wasn't sure if he liked that or not.

(HAREN!!! ^^ YAYZ!!!)

(lol XD I need to find him a wolf form X3 )

Reyol stood his ground unafraid of Haren. He wouldn't let himself be intimidated by him or the others.

Delta rolled his eyes a bit with a sigh, "She climbed up a tree and dad had to go get her down...."

"What this time? I know last time it was because someone had getten her upset or something..." Haren murmured as he thought a bit and wondered some why she would have ran if she had seen Reyol... isn't that way she was so down anyway? Because of Reyol being gone?

Delta looked over at Reyol warily, "Um....well when Heiwa saw Reyol....he kinda...ignored her...." Delta said, "He was kinda in shock about seeing us and then she showed up and he just kinda stared at her..."

"Fun.... Though I'm guessing uncle Ratch got it under control?" Haren hummed some though did seem a bit worried about Heiwa. He then smiled a bit wolfishly as a small wolf pup came up to him quietly wagging her tail and gave a small bark to Reyol and his two brothers making Kaji smile a bit. "Erin you love walking in on stuff don't you?" Haren smirked as he nuzzld the pup and she barked happily.

Delta nodded and smiled down at Erin. Reyol looked at the little pup questioningly.

"Well I supose you don't remember my little sis. She's only three now, she's the kid that my mom had before you were scared off." Haren commented wondering if Reyol knew that he had been in on shewing him off... though he might not have known in the least.

Heiwa had started to wander into that area of the cave when she sensed Reyol and whined some turning around and leaving right away. She had wanted to talk to Haren and see his sister though she didn't want to be around Reyol... she didn't want to feel his coldness torwards her.

Reyol shook his head but paused as he felt Heiwa, 'Heiwa....wait...' His mind called silently to his sister with a tinge of regret. He need to ask for her forgiveness.

Heiwa paused for a moment looking back over her shoulder though wasn't sure if she wanted to go back into that area of the cave... she wasn't sure if she wanted to talk to her brother. She paused though sighed mentally and sat down figuring if he wanted to talk to her he could come talk to her himself.

Haren looked up hearing Reyol call after Heiwa and wondered some why she had started to come back there... she normally didn't come back there while her brothers were there... maybe she didn't know until she sensed Reyol.

Reyol sighed and went off walking quickly towards his sister sitting down next to her. He remained silent for a while watching her. 'I'm sorry…' He spoke to her looking down.

Heiwa was silent for a long time mentally and verbally as she thought some. "I would say it's okay... but it's not..." she said in a quiet mental murmur still looking away. "I've blamed myself for everything... though I also blamed Kaji, Delta, and even Dad too... Kaji and Dad I lightened up on though. I got to a really bad point... I ran off and if Kaji hadn't came to find me... well... I wouldn't be here..." came her quiet mental reply really not feeling like talking out loud right now. She looked sad... even in her wolf form you could tell she was hurting. She couldn't deny the fact she almost killed herself and she felt now that he should know... no matter how it made him feel. She hoped that it made him see just how much she hurt inside for feeling that this whole thing was her fault when it really wasn't.

Reyol looked down,'I've blamed you all this time. Saying that if were weren't so close....that they would have all left me alone....but it wasn't your fault....it would have happened anyway....' He said softly and sadly.

"I'm sorry to say this... but I was never the runt... now no one is though before... you kinda had been. I didn't baby you... I knew if I didn't stay close that something bad would happen... and plus me and mom were the only ones that could hear you... I didn't talk to Kaji or Delta for almost a year after that... after that I started talking some to Kaji and I had talked to Dad six months before... I couldn't stay mad at him. Haren... he was the only one that really got through to me... he got me to talk more... mentally though and he knew I wouldn't talk out loud." Heiwa said quietly still looking off though not seeming so upset now that he had said that he was wrong... though she still wasn't normal... that would take some time.

Reyol listened as he slowly began to understand, 'Oh....okay....I....i guess that makes sense...I can't really hold it against you...' He said as he watched her thoughtfully. His eyes flickered to Haren making sure they were devoid emotion as he studied the older man.

Heiwa seemed to calm a bit and her tail started wagging slowly. "I have really really missed you though..." she seemed to smile some as she turned her head to look at her brother then looked back a bit to smile some at Haren though still remaining in wolf form.

Haren had started walking to the front of the cave just in time to catch Reyol looking at him some. He smiled a bit at the younger male then came up to Heiwa and nipped her neck softly in a loving manner. He didn't really care if any of her or his siblings were around when he did this so he thought nothing of doing it in front of Reyol... after all allot of things had changed.

Reyol looked at them but forced himself not to let his jealousy raise to his eyes. He just nodded his head, 'I've missed you too...the woods can be lonely...' He said with a smile.

"I can imagine." Heiwa smiled slightly still talking mentally though slowly she was being pulled back to herself just how everyone thought she would after talking with Reyol. Haren could just feel that Reyol had something against him being with his sister though he was trying to ignore it as best he could since he did love Heiwa dearly and wanted her to be his.

Reyol smiled he could tell she was getting better. He felt bad that it was his fault that she was doing so bad before. He sighed it was a soft barely audible sound. More like a expulsion of air than an actual sound. It was kind of pathetic in a sense.

"So Heiwa has anyone introduced Reyol to Kyoto and Shiroi yet?" Haren asked softly and curiously wondering if Reyol even knew he had a little brother and sister. "No... not yet... ow um Reyol I think it was just last year Mom and dad had two more pups... you didn't see them yet so would you like us to introduce you to them?" Heiwa asked with a smile as she looked at Reyol seeming to be fine now... which was a very very good thing indeed.

Reyol thought for a moment then began to nod his head vigourously. He like the idea of him having younger siblings.

Heiwa smiled and then shifted to human form and waited some for him to shift. Once he was in human form she took his hand and started leading him back to the part of the cave that was normally off limits to others... though Alora's litters were aloud back there along with her brother, his wife, and sometimes their kids if they said it was okay.

(yays now we can slip Alora and Ratchet back in XD )

Reyol shifted and began to follow the two feeling excited to meet his siblings.

Ratchet sighed as he sat on the bed thinking. He sensed someone coming. Three someone's to be exact.

Haren was staying a few steps away from Heiwa letting her hold onto Reyol instead and smiled at them some glad to see her happy as she held her brothers hand.

Alora turned over to look to the front of the cave where she heard foot steps coming from and sat up leaning against Ratchet some. "Hm... Heiwa and Reyol... and one of the other boys not sure whos though." she commented softly as she looked up at Ratch. She often slept after their move though she never slept long so now she was well awake and willing to be up and about. She looked over to her smallest pups and smiled some seeing that they were asleep and wondered some what Heiwa and Reyol wanted. "Maybe your right love... maybe he did get her back at least somewhat to herself." she smiled softly as she didn't feel so much tention and depression amongst Heiwa's sense.
