Akiko dipped around the man to sniff at the bed he laid on the ground. She made a show of pretending to be apprehensive for a moment, even though she couldn’t wait to perch on the downy mattress. Her head lifted and her ears perked again as she looked over at the Shepherd who growled at her. The yelp of surprise when he barked was genuine and she skittered back to the woman by the tub.
“Oh!” Julianna complained, breathlessly. Also surprised by the sudden noise. Akiko cowered behind her legs as the other dog was scolded by the man.
The animals stared at each other for a few moments before the bigger dog was commanded away. Julianna pet her head reassuringly, and then With a few quick bounds Akiko returned to the bed tumbled on to it. She circled a few times and made herself comfortable.
Julianna rose from sitting, mostly supported by Owen. She had done too much, but she wouldn’t admit it. She would probably have to take her pain medication, even though she didn’t want to. Otherwise, it would be bad enough to keep her from sleeping. “She can stay in here for the night,” she said again. “It will either be a temporary arrangement, or they will have to get used to each other.”
She had never pegged Ruger to be the jealous type. Or maybe it had more to do with his protectiveness of Owen.
Just outside the bathroom door, Julianna whined in pain as she stumbled, her leg giving out on her. She grabbed Owen’s arm for support. Her ears pinning backwards. “Could you-sorry-” she exhaled. “Could you carry me back to bed.” Her tail curled towards her spine in embarrassment for having to ask.
Akiko’s head cocked as she watched them leave the bathroom. She had noticed the woman’s left eye was missing, and that she had some scarring on her hands. Akiko wondered what had happened to mess her up so bad.
They turned the bathroom light off and shut the door. There was an illuminated air freshener in the corner that kept if from being completely dark. She heard them talking in the bedroom, probably about her. Akiko didn’t wonder what they were discussing enough to keep from sleeping.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
