I Miss Missing You Now And Again

Every minute with the male waiting seemed like it was crushing him, and he still searched for her. His ears were pricked, alert, and he paced in a small circle, his pale blue gaze moving from one point to another. His gaze drifted to something that could have been Marina, but may have been something else. And then there was another voice, a faint voice, but one he could recognize all the same. Marina. It was her. His pale eyes would search for her, stormy gray paws carrying him in the direction the voice had came from with increasing speed. Within a few minutes, he was running, his tail held behind him as he ran even faster. When he saw her, he stopped, panting. It was her! It wasn't a trick. His stormy gray and silver tail began to wag, and he started towards her again. Only this time was a walk, as if Shiranui still wasn't sure if it was a trick, or an illusion of some sort.

When he got close enough, Shiranui pressed against her, his tail wagging, a true smile on his jaws this time. "Marina." His voice was soft as he raised his head, licking her face. "I missed you." Those words were something that the male wouldn't usually admit, but the sight of Marina seemed to pull them from his jaws, and more. "I love you, Marina." Shiranui stared up at her.
