Your doing great! Like it! Great work can't wait for the next part!!!

Hmm, it looks like we got a vote for Maybe. Well, let's see if this will convince people to read.

You all may know me as the outcast one. The last you may have seen of me was back when I was rejected and despised by those who used to worship me like a god. Im sure you might believe that I was gone for good. My running days are over, but my days of revenge have only just began. Oh he'll see. He'll wish he never messed with me. That half breed Balto. You may not have seen me in awhile, but I can guarantee you, you will very soon. My day draws nearer. The day I get the respect I deserve. The day I show that wolf dog. Four of his family have already been killed by my claw and fang. Only two of his pups remain. Only two. Aleu and Kodi, then it's Balto's turn. As for Jenna. . .she'll be my prize.

Yes, please! Write and we will read. At least I will. It seems like a very interesting story. I can't wait to see it all.

Oh yes I really want to read it all. Now that I started it....

yes you should definatly continue

i hope you get another part up soon.

I'm for sure going to have to read this. I love it. Please post it and tell us all where it is.

You posted a new one! Like were this is going it's seems to be getting better!

Sadley, i still cannot say this one is finished. I won't try and make up an excuse, it's just been plain lazyness and my attention has been more directed toward World of Warcraft and Need for Speed: Most Wanted. But i've been writing down bits and pieces of it at school. Im planning to write as much as i can this weekend however. Though, this Sunday my family is having a cookout so i may not get much done that day. This fiction was supposed to be done within a few weeks and at longest, a month. Im not entering the the 3 or 4 month since I started.

I feel so ashamed of myself
Hopefully my teachers wont load me up with homework tomorrow and Cross-Country practice wont wear me out to badly.

It's ok, I understand fully

Yeah, just take your time, but... wait, you play World of Warcraft? Cool! PM me with your character and server plz!

Mmm, just to keep people interested, here's a small bit more.

However, before he could reach it, he was brought to another stop. This time, while cutting through a back alley he knew that could save him about five minutes of walking. Exactly why he was trying to save time, rather than kill it, he was unsure. Probably out of habit. But aside from that, it wasn't Ralph or Kirby who halted him this time. It was Dusty. And not until he'd heard that playful laugh of hers did he realize it was her.
Stopping in midstep, Kodi looked over his shoulder and spotted her approaching him. Normally, he wouldn't mind Dusty's company, but with the way she'd been acting lately, he wasn't sure he wanted to be around her anymore than Ralph or Kirby. No doubt she was nowhere near as annoying as those two could be though.
The first thing Dusty did when she reached him was lean right up close with him and brushed against his shoulder. He tried not to react to it, and pretended that Dusty had merely lost her balance and he'd prevented her from falling to the ground. It was getting warmer now and the snow from the cold seasons hadn't melted away. Naturally, the snow was now slippery and wet. Very easy to trip or fall. Once the space between them widened a bit, he said,

"Careful"

Dusty only grinned at him, not really showing any signs that she'd acctually heard what he'd said. That gaze she kept looking at him with was beginning to make him feel uncomfortable again. He was about to say something to her about it when she finally looked away. At the same time, she stopped walking too. Curious, Kodi stopped as well and turned around to face her. He watched her look over her shoulders as if she were making sure they were, infact, alone. Once she was sure they were alone, she resumed walking. Taking only a few steps toward him before halting again.

"Something wrong Dusty?"

He wasn't sure what she was doing. She didn't make any reply either. Her ears twitched a few times. Meaning that she must have heard something. Weather it was him or she was still making sure they were alone by listening for movement or someone approaching, he couldn't tell. She remained still for another few seconds before moving closer to him. Of course, by now, she was way too close to him. Standing up, he put some space between them by taking a few paces backward. But Dusty followed him. Taking a step toward him for every step he took away from her. He now was starting to feel awkward. He wasn't sure how to react. His dad had never taught or talked to him about any of this kind of thing. Really, he knew it'd be instinct. He knew he'd know what to do when the time came. But. . . what was he supposed to do here? Kodi began wishing he'd seen another dog handle a situation like this. That would have at least given him an idea on what he should do.
Just then, he ran out of space behind him. He knew this as soon as he felt the cold brick wall of a building press against his legs. Dusty didn't stop though. She chuckled at seeing him cornered. Then, taking the last few steps toward Kodi, the space between them ran out. Kodi froze. Instead of pressing her nose to his in a dog kiss, she had gone further and pressed her own lips to his. After he got himself back together, he turned his head away from her and, to make her back off, growled. This was only one of the very few times he'd ever growled. The fact that it was at Dusty surprised even himself. But his reasons for doing so weren't unjust. Dusty stared at him. She was surprised that he'd growled at her. It made her take a step back.

"Kodi. . ."

Kodi's growl turned into a snarl. He raised his lips and showed his teeth. This must have scared her because she backed away considerably. Dusty must have realized what had made Kodi do what he'd just done and her scared look changed. Her lips fell to a frown and she took her eyes off Kodi. Eyes closed and nose pointed toward the ground. The way Dusty looked in this position made Kodi feel mad at himself for growling at her. She'd just been trying to express how she felt for him. This was the first time he'd come into a situation like that and now he could see that he might have gone too far with the snarl and showing his teeth. But he walked away. Leaving Dusty completely alone behind him.
He decided he'd talk to her later. Right now, he wanted to be alone for awhile. Dusty's company would have been welcome had the last few minutes never happened. But neither one of them could go back in time and change what had happened so they would have to deal with it. At least now she knew how he felt about her. At the end of the alley, he stopped and looked back at Dusty. She wasn't there anymore. But there was another black figure going in the opposite direction. Judging by how the figure was walking, he guessed it was Dusty. He didn't love her the way she loved him, but that didn't mean he didn't like her as a friend. He just hoped she wouldn't take it too hard.
He hadn't experienced it yet, but rejection must really mess up your whole day. This wasn't turning out to be too good of a day for him either. That already was his third friend he'd jumped all over this morning. If he kept this up, he may not have any left at the end of this day. Sometimes a day would seem easier to get through without getting out of bed. For Kodi, this was one of those days.

"Hopefully today will get better."

Heh, This post might give you an idea that what really goes on in this fic, is not just another Kodi/Dusty fiction. So, there's at least some purpose of this post. Cross-Country practices end on Friday and from then on until the Spring in which Track starts, I don't have much else to do after school so that'll open up alot more time for me to write. I'll be able to get this this fiction rolling at last. I've acctually got quite a bit of this one down. But the thing is, it's all down on paper. I've still got to type it up before i could post it.

Balto5670, I do play World of Warcraft, but because it is not my account that i play on, i can rarely get on. The only time i can acctually log on and stay on for longer than 5 seconds, is when my friend or his grandpa isn't playing. My friends grandpa is pretty addicted to the game so, he plays the game like 9 hours straight. Until i get a job, i can't get my own account. I no longer get allowence so i wouldn't be able to pay the monthly fee.
