Madara

Today's the day. Today's the day I show my face to my omega again. It's been eight years since the two of us have been face to face. During those eight years, I've talked to him through the bushes while he's supposed to be hunting.

We don't talk long. He thanks me for helping him out then I leave. I'm starting to think that wasn't the right thing to do. My whole body hurts and I can only assume it's because he's in pain.

I imprinted on him the first time we saw each other so whatever he feels I feel as well. "Aniki"? "I'm going out for a while. Look after Ryuko until I get back ok". "Ok". I kissed his head then headed out.

Hashirama

"Hashirama honey, it's time to get up". My mom said softly. "I don't want to". I nuzzled closer to her. "I know but you must". "He'll hit me again". I whispered. "No he won't. He left early this morning". "O Ok". I climbed out of bed the best I could and headed to my bathroom.

Momma followed behind me and started a bath for me. I took off my clothes as I waited for the water to get hot. Once it was to her liking she put me in and started washing me. I had flinched at first but soon found myself able to relax.

The hot water felt good against my skin. I could feel the water soothing my body as my mom gently washed me head to toe. We didn't say anything the whole time. There was nothing to say really.

Once my mother deemed me clean enough she took me out of the tub and dried me off. I brushed my teeth as she towel dried my hair for me and let her dress me. "Are you hungry"? "No, I just wanna go out for a bit if that's ok". "It is, just make sure you stay safe". "Ok momma".

What are you like alpha? Are you kind like momma or mean like dad? Do you have younger siblings you care about like me or are you an only child? Does your dad hurt you as well? Would you ever hurt me?

I wanna see you again. I'm tired of feeling alone. I wanna see you and talk to you again. I want a friend.

I thought to myself as I stared into the blue water.

"Hey there". A boy with black hair, black eyes and pale wheat skin said as he appeared in the water next to me.

Alpha

"H Hi". "Is it ok if I join you"? "Y yeah". He sat down next to me. Our shoulders were an inch from touching each other as a gentle breeze blew threw the air. This is the closet I had ever been to him. I thought I would feel nervous or anxious but I was surprisingly calm.

"My names Madara". "Hashirama". I smiled. "Your just a pup, what are you doing away from your mom"? "I needed to get out of the house for a while". "I understand that feeling". I said nothing. "So what is it you do for fun"?

"Nothing really. I usually just hang out with my younger siblings. Dad doesn't let me go out much". The next thing I knew a stone went skipping across the water. "Wanna skip stones with me then"? He asked still smiling.

I looked down into his hand and saw a medium sized stone in his hand. I thought he would hit me with it but when I looked back up his face still had the same gently smile. I gently took the stone out of his hand, flicked my wrist and threw it across the water.

It made four skips before it reached the other side landing next to his. "Not bad". I picked up another stone and did it again. This one made it across to the other side as well. I picked up another one and did the same thing then another and another.

"Your good at this considering it's your first time skipping stones". He picked up one and threw it at the same time as me. We watched as our stones raced each other across the water.

Each time the stones landed on the waters surface the ripples each of them made connected with each other combing together. It's as if they were made for each other. When they made it back onto the ground Madara's stone landed on top of mine.

"What else can we do for fun"? I asked wagging my tail. "Your an energetic little pup a aren't you". He asked smiling. I nodded my head and continued to wag my tail. "Have you ever been in a race"? I shook my head.

"Do you know how to transform"? "Yeah". "Race me in your true form then". "But dad says I'm not supposed to". "He won't find out, I promise". "Ok. Wait right here". I stood up and headed into the forest.

When I came back I rubbed up against him. "Cute". He smiled and petted my head. "Ready little one"? "I wagged my tail and looked up at him. Madara made his way to the trees and readied himself in a running stance. I made my way next to him and did the same.

"Ready".

"Get set".

"Go"!

The two of us took off right away. I didn't know where our finish line was since I forgot to ask him but I didn't care. I could hear him running close to me and was impressed. I'm much faster in my wolf form then I am in my regular form.

Every wolf is. All I could see were the animals I ran passed and the forest floor in front of me. I could feel dirt getting underneath my claws and loved how it felt. The only time I get to be in my wolf form is when I'm with momma.

When dads not home mom let's me and my younger siblings transform and run around the backyard and play for a while before dad gets back. It's the only time any of us have any freedom but not now. Now I feel like I can do anything and go anywhere as long as Madara's beside me.

I ran for a long time. I could feel the wind passing through my fur the faster I ran and loved how comforting it felt against me. It wasn't until I realized I was in a part of the forest I didn't recognize that I decided to stop.

I had gotten so excited that I stopped paying attention to where I was going. To make matters worse Madara wasn't with me anymore either. I immediately tucked my tail and lowered my eyes. I didn't like this. I didn't like this at all.

I lost him again. I lost him and this time it's my fault

I sat down, wrapped my tail around me and howled hoping he'd hear me. I wanted him to find me so we could go back to the river together. I didn't like this. I didn't like being alone and not knowing where I was.

I howled and howled until finally I heard footsteps running towards me. "Hashirama"!

Alpha! He actually came when I called

I transformed back and ran straight to him. I held onto him tight and cried into his chest. I was scared. I was scared he'd go away if I let him go. "You really are fast huh"? He asked hugging me back. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry". "It's ok, just watch were your going next time". "Ok". We stayed like that for a long time.
