White paws smacked against the ground as the large male trotted across the ground, not really looking for anything though his thoughts were swirling around in his turbulent head. Of course his head was always filled with turbulant thoughts, always running around.
And Isis babbling in his ear like she was at that exact moment just helped OH so much. The little three legged meerkat kept going on and on about Sternklare to the point that Akamichi wanted to stuff her muzzle full of dirt and trot away from his 'daughter' in exhasperation. It was bad enough that he had to think of his parents but to on top of that worry about Sternklare, a female he'd only just met and have to worry about finding Takeko on top of it... it was far too much for the large male to handle anymore. It made his brain hurt. ninja

Since the disband of the Demon's Den, Ashki had already met three maned wolves and a wild dog. Imal was a bit...different, she may have been another species but she was a bit more pushy than she should have been. Then there was Amaterasu, she was an ideal female, nice and caring however she was already pregnant with a male whom abandoned her. Then there was that father-daughter trio he had just met, Zaini and the father's name he did not catch. But the leads were nice, he knew usufii was alive and he must've done something to hurt that other male. Maybe the runt is following in his footprints.
The black and white male moved across teh savanna in search of the male, heir to the Muroders. He knew that the boy lived at the Acacia tree, but he was there. He wanted to find him face to face not be weak and wait for him. What was keeping the boy from sitting still?
Sitting by a water hole, resting a bit for the night, he stared out to the horizon. The recent ones he had met, Zaini, Resee, and that male all seem connected to Usufii calling him 'Uncle' could it be possible that Mizoga had mated? No, that fool was too blind to do anything let alone be blinded by love. But what worried him was...why did they call him Uncle...

Sniffing about as he trotted, Akamichi felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise. Who was at his watering hole? Who was near his den?
It was another male, that was all the male knew. It couldn't have been Takeko, she wasn't dumb enough to go running back to him like that, especially not after she'd snapped so... thoroughly. This was all he needed though, unwelcome company near his den when all he wanted to do was flop down and sleep.
The god that had sent him on a wild goose chase would get an earfull if Aka didn't at least get an hours peace and rest to himself. Akiiki was getting to be a handful and his other personality drove Aka up the walls of his den on a daily basis. If he didn't get a few hours to rest before going to look after his charge then Aka would bash his head to a wall and probably be even more tense than normal and that was all he needed with Akiiki, another reason to scar up the little cubs white face.
"Isis... go find the den..." Aka said smoothly to the meerkat, cutting her off mid rant as he stood and stared at the male stitting near his watering hole.

Ashki shut out everything and closed his eyes. Everyone in the Muroder Pack did this. Some called it thinking, some called it dreaming, some called it divining, but what he called it was drifting. By shutting out everything he opened his mind to everything else to get a cleared head and easier to think. Everything just went silent. He could not hear, see, feel, or smell anything.
An image of a pure white female with purple marks ran over her body. She was happy and at the same serious. Between her paws was a small curled furball beside her was himself and on the other side another wolf much smaller than the both of them. Soon that picture faded as the happiness it bought soon brought up painful memories.
The next image was of the lands of the Muroders. Dense jungles, vines and shrubs everywhere. The pack was safe in the darkness of the jungle with the little light they had they lived just fine. The pack was able to follow the rules and laws of teh main branch pack, the name long forgotten to him, and still managed to keep their own. Specifically the marking of the newborn members.
He smiled to himself. That was his home.....

Normally he was pretty laid back, at least he felt that way. Akamichi never shoved anything away from his door, never once in his entire life. He was supposed to be the Alpha of a dying pack though, he was supposed to protect his lands.
Smoothing down his fur on his back and trotting up beside the male, Aka felt sort of large, he towered over this other black and white male like a lion would tower over them... it was awkward since he sensed age on the other. Maybe he shrank? Or maybe it was just that Akamich himself was rather large.
Either way, he leaned his head down and started lapping at the water with his bright pink tongue. It was obvious he was tired and worn, hopefully he wouldn't get a fight from this older male, that was all he really needed right now after all... another fight.
A swift wind ruffled the red fur on the back of his neck and sent his thick tail dancing between his rear legs for a moment before he curled it up just to keep it from knocking his ankles. He was used to being alone, therefore he didn't care what motions and what wrong motions he made around other wolves. If he curled his tail for dominence then it wasn't really dominence that he was thinking about, it was comfort, if he laid down on his back with his legs in the air for submission then it wasn't submission... it was also comfort. So was the life of a loner...

Ashki growled when an image of red came to him. In the darkness was the red eyes staring back at him, his own eyes. In them were the sins he had committed too many to count. He pulled away and drew a paw to his head, his lips pulled back into a growl. Damn, it was always that last bit that destroyed everything. He could never drift anymore now that what happened at Demon's Den has been done. It was too late now. He fell to his urges and now he is being punished. it was simple as that.
He opened up his eyes to the lake as the ripped blurred the moon.
"...When did you get here, stranger..."
He murmured. His eyes scowled onto the moon's reflection. He did not want company, especially when he was doing his thinking. It made him feel weak at times and vulnerable. At the very least let him know so. However, it was done and over with. His eyes turned to the corner of his eyes to a red furred male whom was sitting in a position one could mistaken as a sign of submission. He narrowed and returned his gaze onto the water hole's surface.
"I will not dominate you if that is what you are wanting, stranger. That is for my pack and not for rogues or outsiders."

"You're stitting right outside my den and you ask me what I'm doing here?" Akamichi mused slowly, lifting his head to stare up at the stars and sitting down slowly. He didn't entirely want company either, he didn't like the fact that this male was sitting there before his den when he had Isis and another meerkat back in the den that would quite possibly make a good midnight snack for the passing predator.
Two toned eyes flashed over to look at the white and black male beside him, they were the same size sitting, he wondered faintly why some males talked of dominating when it was clear that the other didn't look like the type to be so.
"You wouldn't be able to even if you wanted to. I don't bow my head to strangers as an Alpha of a pack." Aka stated simply enough for the other male, not thinking twice about the other or what he wanted. Standing, Akamichi rolled his shoulders and started to lap at the water again. "So what brings you into Shadow Walker lands when you're so lost in thought, cousin? Or was that the very reason in itself?"

"I did not know. I am merely passing through. You are lucky that I am rather calmed tonight."
He replied pulling his paw from his head. His head still bounded heavily of that scream....that horrid scream...he too raised up and dipped down for a drink. It was as refreshing as it was when he got here.
He pulled his head back up and stared up into the sky. He did it at least once a night like an obsessive thing he had.
"Oh if I was not tired and busy looking for my son I would take you up on that offer. And Frankly, I myself never bowed to anyone higher than I. I merely nodded and nothing more. As for the Shadow Walkers, I had no idea that there was a pack called that out here. I only know of the Muroders and the other splinters and main branch pack far south of here. Like I said, I am seeking my son."
His eyes remained closed as he flicked an ear. His head was splitting in two and here he was talking to a male about himself.

"You're in my lands and you call me lucky. You seem like you dream quite a bit to me." Akamichi said simply, shaking his red and white head as he turned to face the other with both eyes and a deep frown. He didn't like that there was someone in his lands right now, let alone someone so cocky. "I could care less that you're in my lands as my pack is incredibly scattered right now, but I do care that a stranger is outside my den in the first place without even using their nose to tell them right from wrong."
The large wolf shook his head and looked up at the moon, refraining from looking to his den, which was actually a rather large hole in the ground. But that wasn't the point, it was HIS den, not this males.
"Looking for a son? I feel your pain, I'm looking for a psychotic mate and a lost daughter." Aka shook his head. "I don't want you to bow, I don't ask any to bow to me. I never wanted this title and I never wanted this problem. It was given to me with my mate and sadly I can't rid myself of it now. Isn't the past a wonderful thing?"
"You wouldn't have heard of them, just as I haven't ever heard of these... Muroders... of yours. But then I've never wandered far enough to find them, just as I assume you never wandered this far north before to find the fragments of the Shadow Walkers."
Aka didn't care... he wanted to go lay down and sleep, not sit here and talk about the past with a random male that he didn't even really find that amusing in the least.

"I see my presence is not welcomed. I will go elsewhere for a place to rest. But before I go let me tell you this. I too am the Alpha of a scattered pack. I too did not want this rank as Alpha. The heir of the pack was a female and in order for her to ascend to the rank, she needed a strong heir. But the damned traditions stated that the strongest of the hunters of the pack would be the one to do it to pass on their strong genes. However i was merely a juvenile then the chose me as the best. Frankly, I was since the others were old farts. They waited until I could produce a pup and I did however the first born was blind and they saw it unfit to give him the title of heir. So I waited until the following year and did so again giving birth to the heir of whom I am seeking now.
You and I share something in common at the least, we did not want these ranks and our packs are scattered. I have nothing more to say but my name. Ashkikatazwa."
Enough about his past said, he rose to his feet and rolled his shoulders just as the other had down and started away. His son was still out there, and he was going to find him again.
....b*****d...

"Takeko gave me this position and a god raised me to live this pathetic excuse of a life though I'd have rather he just left me for dead like my parents had. My only pup that Takeko didn't kill is a small female named Okashi, in all your wanderings as much as you clearly dislike me and I don't blame you for it in such a short meeting... if you find her tell her to stay away from her mother... please?" Akamichi said simply. He didn't care about heirs, he wanted the Shadow Walkers to die with him, with Akiiki and with Isis. He wanted Takeko's strange genes gone and he didn't care how it happened.
It had been a fluke anyway, their pasts being so similar since they were both raised by gods so related. Though hers was far more viscious an existance.
"Akamichi. You'll never need my help and you'll never find my children or pack I assume, but if you need a name there it is Ashikikatazwa."
With that he turned and trotted back to his den, dissappearing from sight instantly as he simply fell into his den asleep on his white paws.
