January 15th, 8:00 PM—Hunting Season | Just outside Morioka entrance gates

Katsuki sighed. He put his dagger away, and glanced back at Naka. "Alright girl.. we should get goin'." He said quietly, brushing some snow from the wolf's saddle. Naka growled in acceptance, and shifted a little when Katsuki climbed onto her saddle. Naka rumbled, and set out onto a light trot towards Morioka.

Soon, In Morioka.

He cleared his throat as he hopped off Naka's saddle. He snatched the prey he caught, setting them in his hunting basket. He then grabbed and unhooked Naka's saddle from her, and commanded, "Head home, Naka." He said quietly. Naka nodded and trotted down the street. Katsuki sighed and picked up the basket with one hand, and the saddle with another.

The next morning, 5:30 AM.

Katsuki was already up. He was filled up from last night's lamb steaks and rabbit legs. Mitsuki was a good cook.

He got his boots on, and threw his layers on, before heading out. He walked over to Naka, seeing her sleeping soundly. Katsuki smiled slightly as he crouched beside the wolf. "Hey, time to get up girl. We gotta go on a little patrol." He said gently, rubbing Naka's side as she stirred slightly, her ears flicking from sleep. Once Naka got up, Katsuki walked with her down the street to the barn, greeting the caretaker who was sweeping. The caretaker patted Naka's head as Katsuki hooked her saddle on.

Hours later... An acre outside of Morioka city, 9:00 AM.

Katsuki was on foot, with Naka trailing behind a few feet. He was aiming his bow at a deer, before there was a sudden snap and the deer took off. He groaned in anger, "Dammit...!" He sighed, looking down at his bow. "Stupid bow... stupid fucking deer..." He muttered, wiping snow from his hair, "–Stupid damn snow..!" Although when he looked up and saw nothing up snow and trees. "What the..." He muttered, before the shattering sound of wind howling broke his train of thought.

Katsuki immediately turned to see Naka, but froze again when he didn't see her. "Naka?" He called out urgently, but when he didn't hear her make a sound, he put his bow away and walked around, calling out for his companion. He pulled out his coordinator device, but accidentally dropped it into the snow.

That's when he panicked.

Katsuki dropped to his knees, digging around to find it, "Dammit no- no no no no no... No! Goddammit–fuck!" He panted in anxiety, looking around. "Naka!? Where the hell are you, girl!?" He called out desperately.

After what felt like hours, the blizzard calmed down, and he finally found his coordinator device. It was a bit damp from snow, but it still worked. He checked his coordinates, before he kept walking around and looking for Naka.

An hour later...

Katsuki pushed past a fallen tree, and froze when he saw the sight.

He found Naka, but... at the moment, his companion was currently receiving belly rubs by some.. some girl!?

"Oi!" Katsuki called out, pulling out his knife. The girl and Naka immediately sat up in alarm, but Naka calmed down when she saw Katsuki.

The girl immediately got up and sprinted off, not wasting a second to get away from him. Katsuki followed her with his eyes, and after a moment, he put his knife away. He commanded Naka, "Come on, we're coming home." He said. "What the hell was that..." He muttered as he climbed onto his wolf. He set the coordinates to Morioka and once Naka was on her way, he lost himself in thought.

That girl was... weird. She had what looked like wjngs.. slitted pupils.. and she looked wild—like an animal... but she was so gentle with Naka. "What the hell are you..." Katsuki muttered, glancing back at where he found Naka and that mysterious woman.
