Jack turns around to Zasshu. Aspen tunrs her head slightly around to watch them. 'Yes, Zasshu?" Jack said walking tword him. Aspen walked into the den, and sat close to the entence to listen.

Aspen dosen't hear much, and walks into the den, soon to find out that her sister, Cheyanne, was sitting up waithing for her.

"Aspen why did you leave the den!?" Cheyanne whisperd.

"Man, why are you and father so, well, strict?" Aspen said lowering her tail and padding closer to Cheyanne. Aspen turned her head, licked Cheyanne's neck.

Cheyanne snapped at her, " I'm not strict, I'm protecting you.' Cheyanne said standing up and padding closer to the den entrence, listen to Zasshu and her father talk.

"I can protect my self, just because you had permission to be a alpha, dosen't mean you have to boss me around.' Aspen said in a growling tone.

"I'm your older sister, Aspen, i'm suppose to protect you, and I'm a higher rank then you, you have to respect those who ranks are hight than who-ever.' Cheyanne said turning back to Zasshu. ' Alright fine.

" Aspen sat down.

-Zasshu rolled his eyes, but remained patient-

"Jack, I just told you. But I guess you didn't hear me. I said to rally the pack for me and have them all gather around outside for an immediate pack meeting. I will wait here, but please hurry, this is an urgent matter."

Jack and did as he was told, and was push by Cheyanne who was running out of the den.

"Zasshu! Aspens gone!" Cheyanne yelled.

She knew this was bad, a pack had croffed into thier territory, now Aspen was gone.

"Zasshu, what are we going to do? She's one of the best fighters." Cheyanne wanderd padding closer to him.

Miles away Aspen is wandering wawy from the, through she got out from the little slit in the den.

: Ugh, what am I doing? : Aspen wanderd.

"Where am I?!" She said quietly.

"Well I'm running away from the pack." She said.

-Zasshu's eyes widened-

"Aspen's gone?! But why would she just run off like that?!" Zasshu said, then gave Cheyanne a concerned look.

"I hope this isn't the result of any bickering or fighting. You all know the rule, no bickering or fussing in the pack. We are all friends and family, and neither friends nor family should fight with one another." Zasshu then perked his ears. "Unless you know of any other reason, perhaps?"

Cheyanne flattend her ears.

"No I don't know. I don't know of a reasont o run away." Cheyanne said paceing back and forth.

"Oh, this is not good." Cheyanne said.

Then, a reason came to her.

" I got it!" Cheyanne yelled.
"It was early this morning, Aspen had walked into the den, and me and her argued about me and our father being srict about her."
"Then, we argued about me protecting her, and being a higher rank. She got upset and stormed into the den. But, she bever came out. So, I have no idea how she couldv'e gotten out." Cheyanne finished.

Zasshu sighs, looking up at the sky with flattened ears, worriedly.

"Oh this is not good... not good at all... we have intruders in our territory AND a very close pack member has run away..."

Zasshu then looks back down at Cheyanne, a determined expression set on his face.

"Cheyanne, you and Jack are both two of the strongest members in the pack. I want both you and your father to go out and search for Aspen right away. I would go with you, but I have a pack meeting to start very soon."

Just then, the pack all begin to exit the den and start gathering around Zasshu, ready to hear what their alpha has to say.

"Cheyanne, hurry! Go get your father and both of you set out to find Aspen at once!" Zasshu tells Cheyanne. "I will stay here and meet with the pack and inform them of everything that's happening and together we'll all work out a plan to face our dire situations and put them to an end. Soon after I will send out a search party to assist you and your father in finding Aspen. Now there's no time to lose! Go get your father and both of you set out to find her right away! I will send help soon, now go!"

"Right away, sir. " Cheyenne said running into the den. "Father, Zasshu informed me and you to search for Aspen, We can't let him doen. " Cheyenne said padding closer to Jack.
"Alright, lets head out." Jack said running outside. "Zasshu, we'll be back before dark! "Jack said. "Hope fully. " Jack thought to himself.
Cheyenne watched her father leap down and trot away, Cheyenne turned to Zasshu. "Are you coming?" Cheyenne heard her father say from a distance. Cheyenne turned back and trotted off, searching for a scent.
"Dad, I honestly don't know why or how she ran away." Cheyenne said. " Honey, its fine. You didn't do this. " Jack said. Back at the pack territory at about sunset, Zasshu and the pack heard rwo wolves howl in the distance. " The sounded like Cheyenne, and Jack. " One wolf said. " She said, they have not gotten Aspen yet, and........ they'd probably have to stay out longer. " The wolf added. "Sorry Zasshu. "

AlaskanWonder, you my join my pack. The more members the better! Also, if you and your sister have any other friends on this site would you mind telling them about this RP and if they're interested in joining? I only have four participants and I need more joiners to have a decent sized pack!

Great, and I'll shoot a PM about that. Thanks.

The pack then heard a howl, or at least Zasshu did. I was four hours after sunset, and Zasshu was watching the other pack laying down. Doing no harm. Then, he heard Cheyenne howl she simply said they found Aspen and they're make their way back.

"Cheyanne and Jack have found Aspen, and they're all on their way back." Zasshu says to pack.

Zasshu then howls, telling Jack, Cheyanne, and Aspen to meet with him immediately upon their return.

WONDERFULWOLVES - I saw your comment on one of my fanart drawings asking how to pronounce Zasshu's name and whether or not you could use him in other RPs, so I will set out some ground rules for you:

Zasshu's name is pronounced as "Zah-shoo", which actually translates to crossbreed in Japanese. He's not a hybrid, but still I just like that particular name.

Now, as for your request to use my Zasshu character in other RPs, I will allow you to do that ON TWO CONDITIONS - you must not give other people permission to use him unless asking me first, and you must send me the link to any other RP's that you decide to use him in so I can check out what kind of role you decide to give him. Nothing personal, I swear, I just am very cautious about theives out there. I believe you aren't one of them for now, but there are others out there. So if you agree to these two terms and speak with me about it to get my approval, then you are more than welcome to use my Zasshu character. And a thanks to you for asking first, that was very respectful of you, and I appreciate it.

Now then, back on topic.................

--------------------------------------------------

Zasshu lowers his head, ears flattening in mourning for the death of Jack, and very loved and respected member of the pack.

"Ohh... poor Jack. I was truly hoping that this unknown pack would not be aggressive, but now that they have attacked an d murdered a close family member, my hope has now been demolished." Zasshu gives both of Jack's daughters, Cheyanne and Aspen, a tender, caring, and understanding soft smile of mourning. "Cheyanne, please do not apologize. You and Aspen have done nothing wrong."

Zasshu pauses for a minute, then howls briefly, bidding the lost Jack a fond farewell, and Cheyanne, Aspen, and the rest of the pack howl with Zasshu, all of them saying goodbye as well. Afterwards, Zasshu stands before the pack, calmly giving Jack a few words as would be done at a funeral.

"Jack was a good man, loved and respected by all." Zasshu said to the entire pack, who all bowed their heads in respect. "He was a loving father to both Aspen and Cheyanne,`and even sacrificed his life to protect them. A bold and lovingly dedicated act on his part, and his courageousness shall never be forgotten. He was a strong and faithful member of the pack, as well as the best friend of many of us." Zasshu then looked up at the sky. "Jack, we shall never forget you or what you've done for us all, and you shall always have a special lace in all of our hearts. God bless you Jack, for your bravery."

Zasshu then turned back to the mourning, silent pack.

"I am truly sorry for this terrible tragedy, I truly I am. But we must act against this as soon as possible, my brothers. They have already killed one of the family, and now it's our turn to fight back. Tonight, we shall all discuss and prepare a plan of attack, and tomorrow morning we will set out to take action and protect what is rightfully ours."

Zasshu then turns to both Cheyanne and Aspen. Zasshu caringly hugs Cheyanne with a friendly rub on her head with his muzzle. "I am very sorry for your loss. Your father was a brave wolf. But we will all overcome this tragedy as long as we all stick together as a family." Zasshu says to both Cheyanne and Aspen.

Zasshu then pulls Aspen close, licking her cheek friendlily and caringly, then rubs his chin along the fur of Aspen's head, neck, and back, then caringly rubs his furry head up Aspen's chest and then against her chin.

(Guys, please don't be freaked out by this! This is how wolves hug one another, that's all Zasshu was doing! I'm just saying this just in case, I don't want you guys to think I'm some creep, because I promise I'm not at all a creep. Promise!)

"Aspen..." Zasshu says softly, after hugging her. "Where have you been, Aspen? We were all so worried about you." Zasshu gives her a kind, friendly smile.
