5 Chap. 4 Yoru is my Mate

(Rain POV)

I listen as Yoru gets off the bed and leaves the room, closing the door behind him before his sent faded as he moved further away. I sigh sadly and whine. I had made him sad. I could tell as soon as I hid my muzzle between my paws. I could feel the sadness rolling off of him in waves. I just couldn't let him pet me though. I know when we first met I didn't even care because all that my world consisted of was him. His sent, his touch, only him.

Now though is different. I don't remember much of the night before, after I met Yoru, everything was a blur of sents and sounds. Then later I woke up in a super soft bed that was covered in Yoru's sent. Rōzu was happy as could be to be out of the cells and on something so soft but me, I can't feel at peace like she can. I cant forget my past. All the years of torture and abuse in the cells can't just disappear over night.

I hop off of the bed and go to the door. I need to get out of this room. I sniff at the door then give a short howl, hoping someone would hear me. After a few minutes someone opened the door and I ran out of the room with a shout of surprise from whoever opened the door. I soon as I was out Rōzu was by my side to help me. She would nudge my side or gently give a tug at my fur with her teeth to guide me. When we came to a set of stairs she would walk right next to me so I could feel her movements to know when the next step was coming up. Eventually we made it to a floor that smelled like the outside wasn't to far away. I followed that sent until I smelt glass in front of me and came to a stop. I sniff around the edges then scratch at one side till it slides open. I give a happy yip before I run out the door and into the world beyond it.

Taking a deep breathing, I slow down to a stop. I sniff the air again catching a sent that was foreign yet familiar as well. Putting my nose to the ground i follow the sent as it slowly gets stronger until it is almost overpowering. Now I recognize the sent. It was lilies. They had always been my favorite flower when I was little. I prick my ears when I catch a soft sound. I lift my nose into the air and sniff again. Now that I think about it there had been another sent mixed in with that of the lilies. 'Fresh rain and pine, Yoru' I think.

I hear the sound again and realize it was someone crying. I follow Yoru's sent deeper into the flowers and the soft sounds of crying become louder to me. I stop when I sent Yoru right in front of me and I feel my heart break to peases. The crying i had heard was coming from Yoru. I whine softly and nudge him gently. His crying turns to sniffles as I hear him turn to face me. "Rain? What are you doing out here." He asks in concern. I whine softly and feel his hesitation in wanting to comfort me but giving me space to. I decide to take a chance and lean forward till my large head in on his lap. I wag my tail softly till I feel his hands rest hesitantly on my back. I tense up but make my self relax. I have to, no I heed to do this. For myself and for Yoru. After all Yoru is My Mate.
