everyone form the tribe stopped and stared at him shocked that he had returnd.

Victor looked around at the tribe. "Is Ray here? I had to leave her as part of my punishment from the wolf spirit"

They continued to stare as Hiroshi cmae out form the group.He wa older and tallwr npow.'well look what the cat draged in",he said glareing.

"Hiroshi, is Ray here? I know I have been gone for many years, but I can explain"

Hiroshi just glared.'shes not here but shell be back shes hunting for out food at the moment",he said and started walking.

Victor went to Ray's hut. He sat and waited for her. "I've waited five years, I can wait a few more hours"

After a few hours Ray had returned wit the hunt and then made her way back to her hut.Wondering why the tribe was acting wierd.Ray stopped ,as she walked into her hut ,looking at Victor for a moment."oh,you have got to be kidding me",she said turning right around and walking

Victor took off after her. " Ray wait! You have every reason to be upset, but I can explain. In order to save your life all those years ago, I was forbidden from seeing you as punishment for hunting wolves"

Ray looked abc at him."and let me guess you couldnt tell me what was going on,or anyone else?",hs said angerly.

"Yes, that is correct. I can have the elders summon the wolf spirit to tell you it's true"

"no you are not to talk to anyone",she said glareing and walked again.

Victor was in shock. "But Ray, everything I did, I did to save your life"

Ray looked at him."i dont care,after whats happened to me over the five years....i just stopped careing ingeneral",she said and headed off to cheak th others.

Victor didn't know what else to say. He felt deeply depressed. Victor headed off into the woods.

Hiroshi watched him go and glanced at Ray before sneeking off to follow him.

Victor sat on a log, and pulled out a .45. "My punishment is never ending" Victor pointed the gun at his chest.

Hiroshi came out."thats not the way to end anything",he said watching him."besides it would hurt Yukina if you killed yourse;lf,she may not show it,but she still cares for you"

Victor looked over at Hiroshi. "But how do I get her to care again?"

Hiroshi sighed."im not sure....after you left she was sader then ever,but kept saying youed be back,then a group of hunters atacked they trourtuerd her teribly ,beyone recognishon,after that she wasnt the same,we traveled along and had alot of,bad luck,it made Ray like stone nothing started to make her feel anymore......"

Victor thougt long and hard. "Does the village need anything?"

Hiroshi sighed."just for the old Ray to come back"

"What is her favorite type of flower?"

Hiroshi looked tp him."roses"

Victor smiled and headed off. He gatherd up all the roses that he could, and filled Ray's hut with them.

Ray eventualy returned to her hut and froze a the door looking around in shock.
