Yorouchi & Aku

Yorouchi turned and moved off toward the Tundra. She would tear anyones throats out the minute she got the chance. When she reached the hole she looked to aku.Two of the pups are mind so they should smell like me, follow their scent and see where it leadsShe spoke calmly.

Aku slithered after Yorouchi and he lifted his head and nodded. He looked at the hole testing the scent with his tongue before he vanished. He followed the scent to where something now blocked where he was sure the pups exited. He caught one sent Rein's. it was faint she hadn't been near this whole but he knew the territory and he slithered back and came up and crawled up onto Yorouchi back. Your pups have ventured into enemy territory. It has been blocked now but that is where their scent leads. To Silver Glades I suspect.He hissed.

Yorouchi growled now baring her teeth. Those foul lonesome pieces of trash!She snarled. She looked to devil

Devil May Cry

As they moved toward the tundra, he kept his gaze on the back of the snake, opticals wide as he took in the swaying motion with which the serpent moved. Fascinating. He couldn't get enough of it. When they stopped though he immediately went back to business mode before Yarouchi could turn around and see him. Or Aku. Lifting his banner up over his spine, he moved up to sniff at the entrance to the hole. The scents of the pups were somewhat familiar, mixed with Exile and Yarouchi's scents along with the more unique scent of each pup. He caught three distinct flavors. He was starting to wonder what those pups looked like too, since he had yet to meet any of them besides the ones back in the clearing. Would they look like him?

But enough of that. Yarouchi spoke to the snake and he flicked one thorn, both impressed and a little taken aback by the authoritative tone she used. She knew she wasn't alpha right? He was pretty sure he'd made that clear, even after they'd bred. He could understand her determination though, with two of the pups being her own. He frowned. His own, too. He would have to get used to that fact. Seems he had two litters at Parnassion now. Exile's he couldn't help but not count as his. After all, none of his blood ran through their veins. They were just lucky he wasn't the completely heartless thug he used to be. Cause then they'd already be dead. But he would allow them to live, if anything for the future of more loyal pack members. If they decided to stay, of course. He expected most would want their own life out of the pack when they grew older and he wouldn't deny them that.

The snake disappeared down the hole and Devil stood at the entrance, handles pricked as he watched down the hole, waiting. His pendulum flicked to and fro with agitation. He hated waiting. He was very impatient. But finally he saw a figure slithering back and took a step back to let the serpent out. He seemed a little anxious, like he had useful information and Devil inhaled sharply, limbs spasming slightly in the need to run, the need to find whoever was responsible. As the snake spoke and the name Silver Glades hit his pricked tuners, Devil started shaking with fury. How dare they? He felt like sprinting straight there and ripping every single wolf in sight's head off. This was way past low, even for enemies. They were pups for goodness sakes! But he held his head level as his gaze met the anguished mirrors of Yarouchi. He could tell she held the same venom as himself and it helped calm him some, though he couldn't stop the growl now.

He spoke slowly so the rumble in his chest wouldn't burst out in the roar it so wanted to. We need to get back to Parnassian and tell the others. We'll form a party to go to Silver Glades. It will comprise of fighters, just in case things get ugly, which I expect they will. No pups are to come so we'll need someone at the territory to watch them. He took in her furious stance and knew she'd immediately be in the party. He couldn't deny her that. Exile would probably want to be involved as well. He thought of Serena back at the pack and frowned. She'd probably be the one to stay back and watch the pups. After all, Denial needed to redeem herself for letting the pups go down the hole in the first place. She would be in the party to go with him to Silver Glades. War or no war, they had started something way different with this. No one steals members from Parnassian and gets away with it. He turned back toward Parnassion, looking back over his shoulder at the snake. He bowed his head.

Thank you very much for your help, Aku. Tell your alpha that I am in his debt. You may go back to your home now. We will take it from here.

Yorouchi

OH she knew she wasn't alpha but she also knew being able to show him the qualities of one could help persuade him to choose her. Her lips twitched. Yes we shouldShe spoke finally and she kept the snake on her back since koga would fly him back. Devil, may I suggest we take Aku with us, if it turns ugly he could kill some of them with his venom it painful for the victim as well. He'll stay on me the whole time. She spoke softly.

Aku curled gently around yorouchi neck and let his longer half curl around her behind her front legs and then rest on her back. This is how he was trained to protect his fellow pack mates. Yorouchi hadn't taken notice. I would love to help you in the retrieval of the pups. it may give the wolves an incentive to just return them knowing that one bite from me could indeed kill themHe hissed. His black eyes sparkled with excitement.

Devil May Cry

Audreys snapped back to listen to her words. Well, he had to admit, she knew hwo to persuade someone. And it wasn't with her body, like a lot of other females would have tried. No, she stuck to logic and just wanting her pups home. Just as he did. A few more points for her then. He looked back over his shoulder, taking in Yarouchi's determined gaze. He was about to speak but let the snake go first as he looked eager to say something. So he wanted to help too? That was odd, since they weren't his pack mates or even of the same species but Devil figured from hanging out with wolves so much, maybe Aku felt related. Who was he to deter someone who very well could help sway their enemies? Devil nodded his plat.

Very well. Aku, you are more than welcome to come and help us get the pups back. I appreciate it deeply. Then his gaze went to Yarouchi. He had noted that the last time she spoke, it was with a softer voice. Well, at least she knew better than to put authority in her voice when she spoke to him. He gave her a smile and turned back toward Parnassian. Okay, then, let's go to tell the others the plan and recruit a retrieval team. His whole chassi seemed larger with the way his muscles were tensed. He was more than ready for this fight, if there was going to be one. He had a feeling if they covered up their tracks by blocking the path the pups had taken that they didn't want anyone coming to get them. That said to him that they weren't going to give the hostages up easily.

The growl grew in his chest. By hell, they wouldn't. He'd make damn sure he didn't leave Silver Glades without three perfectly healthy pups in his shadow. He started padded toward the territory, his plumage thrown up over his spine, arching in aggressive mode as he anticipated the march to Silver Glades. His brainpan was lifted high, tuners pricked forward, though they swiveled around to detect his surroundings.

Yorouchi

Her tail flicked as she now allowed Aku to stay upon her and she turned and followed Devil her tail up but slightly lower then his.
