"Well, this is my house." I said when we reached my house. I showed the wolf my house as if revealing a grand secret.
And as if understanding my words, her orange eyes - which sometimes appears red - scanned my house with a curious glint in them.
The house was your typical Japanese house with two floors. It could be said to be in a slightly better condition and more decorated than the other houses though.
There were some flowers and small trees on our yard - courtesy of Sumire - which gave a homey feeling to the house.
"Well then, what do you think?" I asked with a smile and I swear to god I am not crazy but I think I saw her nodding as if saying 'It's good.'
I blinked once and twice. And then shrugged it off.
We entered the gate and when I was about to open the door to our house, I turned to look at her again, "Remember what I said, behave okay?"
Again, I got a nod.
I have to say she looked as if she understood what I said. I wondered how her previous owner trained her to be this intelligent. Or is it because she was a wolf?
With those thoughts I opened the door, "I am ho-" I spoke but before I even completed my sentence, two giant meat slammed on my face.
Soft.
My whole body was hit with something soft. There was a frightening amount of force which was enough to knock over the average person but since I was strong, I did not move an inch.
As the two soft globes smashed on my face, my nose also picked up the scent of flowers and the feminine scent of a woman.
"Yuito!!" I heard and in response, I wrapped my arms around her and suspended her in the air.
My hands also couldn't help but hold her right on her bubbly butt which turned out to be surprisingly firm even though it was equally soft.
'Don't grope, it would be weird.' i told myself while at the same time my hands groped her bubbly butt.
Sumire did not seem to care as she just continued to hug me.
"I am home." I repeated and with her still hanging on my body, I moved inside.
My new pet followed me inside and when we reached the living room, Sumire finally got off me.
There was the lightest blush on her cheeks and she folded her arm underneath her breast, I didn't know if it was on purpose but they looked bigger and lewder when she did that.
She tried to regain some sort of elegance and dignity for a few moments before she looked at me with strict eyes, "You are too late. and why didn't you pick up your phone?"
I raised an eyebrow and took out my phone to looked at it and noticed 3 missed calls and quite a few messages from her. I didn't notice it as I had kept my phone in silent mode. It was necessary to put in silent mode while in school.
"Sorry." I said, throwing my bag on the couch. "I didn't notice at all. My phone was silent."
Sumire puffed out her chest in annoyance and moved her eyes away from mine. It was then that she finally noticed the pet that I had brought home.
She did not scream nor widen her eyes in shock. She just paused and stared at the wolf.
"Yuito..?" She asked.
"Hmm?"
"What is that thing?"
"It's a dog."
"I know a dog." she said, "That is not a dog."
She stood still like a picture, her eyes never move to me and stayed on the now nervous wolf.
"It's a wolf."
"Why is it in my house?"
"..." Right. I forgot.
I couldn't just decide to bring a random animal inside our house, much less a wolf. Sumire was still my mother. I forgot about that.
I am the main breadwinner in our house but I still had a parent and I am still a minor. So before doing things like bringing a 'wild' animal I should've really asked permission first.
Sumire turned to me when she got no answer and I became meek under her strict mother's eyes.
"Ummm.." I began and gather up my thoughts before finishing, "Can I keep it?"
Sumire then turned her eyes away from me and looked at the wolf who was now behind my legs and almost growling at Sumire.
It seemed like she didn't like Sumire at all.
"What will you do with it?" Sumire asked in wonder.
What did people do with their pets?
"Love it?" I guessed and that seemed to surprise the wolf behind my leg. She looked up at me.
My mother was not impressed so I began explaining my relationship with the wolf. Telling her that it was the 'dog' which I saved from the truck and how it was also the 'dog' I played with while I was in the hospital.
Then I finished by telling her how I found her in the weak state that she was in right now and how I think her previous owners abandoned her.
It took some convincing to allow Sumire to let the wolf live with us. After all, it was a wolf, an animal which could potentially attack us. A 'wild' animal.
But I showed her how she was harmless and I also tried some tricks with the wolf to show that she was trained.
Surprisingly. The wolf knew how to do the roll trick and how to do a handshake. She was also able to follow basic command like sit and stay.
It was kind of cool and once again I was amazed at her intelligence.
"Okay but please be careful when you are handling her." My mother had said before giving me permission to keep the dog.
Right after that I changed my uniform and I took the wolf for a bath.
Though she was hesitant to go to the bathroom. I suspect that she was afraid of water. I heard that there are some dogs which did not like taking baths.
"Come on, you are too dirty." I said and forcefully pushed the wolf inside the bathroom with my superhuman strength. I immediately closed the door and the wolf ran to one corner and curled up there.
I was standing proudly with my boxer, my amazing aesthetic body was bare for the world to see. Girls would lose their mind and wives would abandon their husband if they saw my bare torso. Too bad no girls are in the bathroom to witness my glorious body.
"What are you doing there?" I asked as she covered herself with her tail. Seemingly trying to hide her body from me due to...embarrassment?
Then I quickly realised, not only did she not like water, she did not want me to touch her as well.
.
.
.
Which made me want to touch her and bathe her much more.
I cornered her and she tried to escape but she couldn't escape the hands of a martial artist. With ease I held her down and began spraying her with the showering handle.
She struggled for a while and I was careful of her mouth. I thought that she might bite me but as she continued to struggle, she seemed to have no intention of biting me.
"Good girl."
The water was hot so I didn't think she would have much problem. After struggling for some more, she finally realised it was meaningless and she relented.
She stayed still and became obedient.
But for whatever reason. The moment I washed her bare stomach and chest, she went crazy. I was only rubbing it for a short time but she acted as if I had molested her or something.
Still holding her down, I can't help but muse at her.
"What a weird wolf you are."
