Daisuke followed Aysu home, ever vigilant for the sign of more hunters. Somehow, he had a feeling that man would be back. A black striped golden was a somewhat unique sight, and Aysu's pelt was even more discernible which made things difficult.

After Aysu was safely in sight of her home Daisuke started back toward his den and Isamu. He was in need of a long night's sleep.
