Break...away from everybody...away from everything

Mako raised himself slightly as Maka stirred. After the scary woman left, it had had left him feeling afraid and sunk. Doubting his abilities and existence in this world...then, he felt something touch him. He didn't flinch this time, a first for him. He opened his eyes to see that it was Maka, her touch distracted him from his doubting thoughts and pulling him away. Her attitude began to amuse him, she seemed so..happy. Maka spoke, his ears perking ever so slowly until they came to full attention. So they would still play the game? His tail wagged the smallest of wags as he listened more to what she had to say about it, and little by little his eyes lit up at the thought. He glanced at her as she called the words, "not it." Then he glanced at Demonio and after a few seconds, he too called out. "Not It either!" He laughed a little, this was definitely a new experience for him. He couldn't remember the last time he had laughed, not even with his siblings.

He stood, walking over to Maka's side, his mud coated pelt beginning to feel heavy and drying. It didn't bother him much though, he had been through worse. His tail wagged shyly and low over the ground as he waited for Demonio, then he smiled when he looked at Maka. She seemed to be real excited, and wondered how fun this game would be...he had never played a game before in his life, so this experience was new for him. He could feel Maka's excitement rub off on him, until the memory of the one named Destruction began to fade away to become nothing more then a shadow that would disappear. "What now?"
