Bullet grinned and said "I won't but you would be in on some good beatings by my pack and me!" He said walking away into the other side of the dark shadows and just like that he disappeared into the West Side Warehouse where ha had to think things over for himself. *Mariah* Mariah stood there wondering what just happend with the fight and apology and her saying she was coming back, to fight. Mariah was swift and mostly her unexpected moves could beat a dog her height or a couple inches bigger. She turned the corner to find the dog but the dog was already gone. Wow that dog was good but her last words seemed rather sad. Mariah felt bad so she went down the street to find the dog. She yelled out "Helloooo. Stranger, are you there?" She said looking around with her ears going in every direction trying to hear the noises of the street.

Kamitaze was laying secluded under a few crates and behind a dumpster, licking at her wounds. She was tired and starvation was beginning to take it's toll on her. She remained where she was however, deciding that nightfall would bring more luck to catch the rats she had seen before, and perhaps she now has the motivation she needs to eat. Then she heard the patter of claws once again, and soon after, someone called out.
Kamitaze's large ears pricked forward, listening to the voice. It sounded rather familiar, but she couldn't place it. Then she realized the wanderer came from the alley way she had just come from. She was followed. Kamitaze wondered why. Then she darted out from her shelter, hackles raised, nose crimped, and face straight and unamused. Kamitaze stood in a manner making her look broad and muscular, and she stared at the dog, whom she now recognized from before, and waited for her to speak first. The way Kamitaze was positioned, it was easy for a canine to tell what she was saying. 'What do you want?'

Mariah saw the dog come out and her instinct was to bark and snarl. She stopped herself and said "Oh, it is you. If you need shelter for the night you can sleep in West Side Hotel. Bullet lives on the top floor in a suite so you can sleep in the 1st floor with the door shut. We have bones stored in the fridge and many food in the fridge. Even ice cream in the freezer." She said with a nice, soft tone in her voice. She wanted to be nice. "Also we have bandages for your wounds." She said taking a couple more steps towards the dog which left 3 feet between the 2 dogs. She was a nice dog and didn't really like fights but she would have to own up for what her pack Leader did to the poor Loner. "If you don't want the offer, then thats OK. We ruined your night." She said and put her ears down and her tail under her stomach. She had done enough for the night.

Kamitaze glared at the female for a second longer before turning swiftly away with a face of stone.
"I don't need anyone's help! I can take care of myself just fine." She didn't turn back to the female, but sat down and lowered her head. Kamitaze attempted to add something else, but the words would not come. She knew she could use some food, and a place nicer than the back of a dumpster, but she couldn't 'give in', as she saw it. She thought again, of the times before the blasted "Toy Soldier". Things were different then. She could take care if herself better. There was more food from humans, she had street friends, and an owner. Kamitaze questioned her own strength, but then turned the thoughts away by looking slightly over her shoulder to see if the dog was still there, which she was. Then Kamitaze turned back around swiftly like before, and thought one last time, before facing the dog. Kamitaze rolled her eyes and stared at the dog, then away. Her face softened but sternly, she asked,
"What do they call ya?"

Amour felt for the female even though she just a stranger. For all that she stood against, an unfair fight for unjust reasons was a biggy for her. She cocked her head to the side and hesitantly fell in step behind Mariah. While it wasn't in her nature to give a damn, this was an exception. Amour didn't especially now how to feel or how to react when she would speak to the stranger. Like before the fight had started over misinterpreted attitudes and words. The stranger seemed to have a spit fire attitude just like her. Hopefully nothing would sprout from this confrontation.
'What do you want?'
"Oh, it is you. If you need shelter for the night you can sleep in West Side Hotel. Bullet lives on the top floor in a suite so you can sleep in the 1st floor with the door shut. We have bones stored in the fridge and many food in the fridge. Even ice cream in the freezer, Also we have bandages for your wounds. If you don't want the offer, then that's ok. We ruined your night."
"I don't need anyone's help! I can take care of myself just fine."
Amour rolled her eyes. 'Typical headstrong female....I bet she couldn't take care of herself even if she tried to..' She bit her tongue and approached forward. Standing at the side of Mariah.
"While I don't know this female much. It would be a stupid to stand up this kind gesture. I know her leader did attack you but with injuries like that.. while not serious could get infected.."

Mariah nodded and said "I can help your wounds. You'll die if they get infected too bad." She said stepping forward. "They call me Mariah. How about you?" She said trying to pull of a kind smiled. Her tail wagged a bit and her ears perked up as if listening to an interesting story. Wow Amour was such a kind dog. A friend. Amour tried to be on both sides which is what Mariah wanted as well.

Kamitaze tensed up again when the other dog stepped out. Two followers. It made her a bit uneasy. Then they spoke of her wounds and how they might become infected. With all the crap around, Kamitaze agreed silently inside. Then she looked at the first stranger, who called herself Mariah. Then she was asked her own name. She hesitated. She knew how dangerous it could be to give your name. These dogs seemed friendly, but you just never know. She decided on a nickname, and it was an honest name. Dogs have called her all kinds of names.
"Some call me Z, or Zee Zee..." She looked at both of them, then glanced down and lowered her head slightly. Then she shot it back up and stared at the shepherd. "What about you? You've got one, don'tchya?" She said that a bit too harsh, she thought, but resolved the matter by glancing away again, a bit submissively. Her tail remained limp.

"Nice nickname. I'll call you Z." She smiled sweetly and said "Come on. You can sleep across the hall from me in the hotel. I'll help your wounds." She said walking to the other side of the alley and disappearing on the other side hoping Z would follow her. The cold breeze from the sunset through her fur and she shivered. He tail sprung up and started swaying in the breeze and she wagged it a little. He ears went with the sound as she walked on and she looked back hoping to see the dog following her after she invited her to heal her, have some food and sleep the night. She hated dogs who didn't agree with what she said. Her hazel eyes followed the path to which the West Side. She passed a lot of boarded up houses and a road where all the gangs, drug dealings and dog fightings went down.

Kamitaze looked at the shepherd and then eased forward, continuing to look at her. Then she trotted faster and around the corner, scanning for the other dog, 'Mariah'. She found her looking down another path. Kamitaze stopped before revealing herself again. She dipped her head, sniffed a little bit, and then looked back, deciding one last time. Then she padded forward slightly, and halted again, waiting for Mariah to continue leading. Kamitaze made sure her presence was known with the heavy and careless steps she just took, purposely. Kamitaze stared at the dog in front of her, waiting, and then when the dog padded forward herself, Kamitaze glanced back curiously for the other dog, before following Mariah again. Was this the right thing to do? It seemed so, but still sketchy. She again, thought of her days before the tragedy. Her heart was covered with stone, only and truly once uncovered. She loved her past, and the praise she got, even if it meant getting hurt.

Mariah finally stopped at a large hotel and pushed the doors open. The horse paintings on the brown walls and the lights that hung from the ceiling made it elegant but Mariah didn't care, she is a dog. She walked up the carpeted stairs onto the 2nd floor because the 1st floor had nothing in it. Mariah opened her door and went into the bathroom. Opening the drawer was tricky. She pulled at it with her teeth and it came out a bit. "Stupid Humans." She took the bandages out and had to unwrap it. She brought it up to Z and said "This will hurt a bit." She looked gentle and kind as she wrapped them around all the wounds. "That took 5 months to learn." She rolled her eyes and went to the open room next door. "You can sleep here."

The hotel was interesting. Not exactly Kamitaze's taste, but she didn't hate it. And she couldn't really be picky, either. She followed Mariah up a flight of stairs and into a bathroom. Kamitaze was a bit reluctant, but she let the dog wrap the cloth around her wounds. She remembered when her owner would do it. Not as gentle, but still. She was glad she wasn't wounded enough for the staples that she saw other dogs with, though. Kamitaze didn't say anything, and didn't show much pain on the outside, but it did sting when her wounds were touched. They were a little scabby by now, but since the cloth rubbed against the cuts, it began to bleed a bit again. Kamitaze licked at the ones that weren't yet dressed. Then when Mariah was finished, Kamitaze looked away and stared into her thoughts with soft eyes.

Mariah looked at her and said "It might bleed but it will heal because bandages keep it from getting infected she said looking at the blood and sighing. "Tough fight, tough girl." She winked at Z and led her to her room. The room was messy, but come on, dogs live here! She looked into a room and said "You can sleep on that bed all by yourself. Hog the whole bed." She grinned because Mariah always hogged the bed. She threw her own TV out the window and ate most of the food from the fridge. She said "Well, do you wanna be here for a second alone or do ya wanna hunt?" She said licking her chapped lips. She was starving and there was food she had to save for the winter time so she hunted and stored the food in her bathroom tub. Every now and then she would sneek a couple animals to eat as a snack but there was a lot of food in there.

"Tough fight, tough girl." Mariah said. Kamitaze looked at her and grinned, then ceased and looked around, before being led to another room.
"Well, do you wanna be here for a second alone or do ya wanna hunt?" Asked Mariah. Kamitaze thought a moment, and then without turning to Mariah, she answered. "I'd like to stay here a minute." She paused and then looked back, her ears down to the side a bit. "...If it's alright, we can hunt a little later..." She said, turning back to the room and trotting over to the bed. She halted when she reached it, not quite sure what to do. She never slept on a bed before. She never really stayed in a room, either. And never alone. She was kept in a crate-- A wooden crate-- next to some other dogs. She remembered when she wouldn't get in it, one time, when she was young and naive. The kick nearly broke her rib... But she learned. The thoughts kept her on the ground, and she looked away at the window, then she eyed behind her, to see if Mariah was still at the door.

Mariah nodded and her eyes were sweet and innocent looking. She walked to her room across the hall and down another long hallway. Her room had a big black bed with long black covers and a broken picture of a family. The poor family died all, together they were in heaven. Mariah threw the picture in a drawer and pushed the drawer shut with her shoulder. She laid on the bed for 10 minutes or so then walked back out into the hallway and down the stairs, where she waited for Z to come out to hunt. She walked to the front door and looked out of it. The sun peeked through the clear glass and shun off the walls with paintings of horses were hung on them. It matched the western wallpaper that had many cameras above the paintings.

Kamitaze relaxed more when she saw the the dog was gone. She sighed and looked back out the window, then went and sat by the sill and gazed out. The glass was broken, allowing the breeze to swim through her dirty fur. She looked at her chest as her fur moved with the wind. She was a bit disgusted by the crap that was stuck in between. She needed a wash. Then she got up and went to the door to meet Mariah. Kamitaze limped slightly from the sore pain in her neck. But she toughed it out and took a few steps down. She hesitated to listen again, and make sure it was just Mariah, or perhaps the shepherd from before was there as well. Then Kamitaze's gaze went the opposite way, up the stairs. She remembered that Mariah said the doberman lived on the top floor. Kamitaze's nose crinkled at the memory of the confrontation just a while before now. She was still upset with him, but mainly herself. Perhaps it was just the lack of food and adrenaline... she thought to herself, going down to the lobby.
