Taka wasn't sure how to answer Tomoe. He had no idea why he was helping this child; he was a cold blooded killer. "I wish I knew why," he muttered almost more to himself then Tomoe. He dug in his bag and pulled out another hunk of bread and handed it to the sniffing wolf pup.

"Perhaps because no one should be treated like that and taken advantage of," Taka mused. He undid his cloak and laid it over himself and held up a corner for the pup. "Come on over here. Its cold and its only going to get colder. Tomorrow maybe we can light a fire."
