Burcemen Street

(OK Comrade....See you tomorrow.)
The next day was now finally there after a long and somewhat depressing night. Ren rose with Nergal in her arms and her head that felt like it went through hell and back.....she then noticed that the seal on her chest was gone...

She slightly began to panic a little....but then....found that the seal was now on both left and right shoulders...she then finally looked up to see Malty looking down at her.

"Well it seems that Nergal went through a change. What did you two do last night..." Malty gave a slightly coy grin..Ren was not smiling.
"Nothing happened Malty.....nothing happened." Ren then noticed that Malty was now simply staring at her.
"What?"
Malty simply shook his head."Ok...I know you dont have any true form....but....you are confusing me very much. I know you as Rolego. But latly you are being more of a mom than he...what gives." Ren never thought of it......
"Because of this one..." She looked at Nergal....."He needs a mother more than Rolego right now....and....sadly...this form is the only form he feels comfy around....and you know how the people are here....if they saw any other person besides Cassandra.....they would start an entire riot to find her." Malty did a small nodd with raised eyebrows.
"Yeah you are right....but I am slowly beginning to think you are a girl." Before Malty even got on the bed fully.

"Well I am technically.....remember..." Malty did not even think of it.

"NightRain?" Malty turned red the second she said her name....NightRain was laighing at this point.
"Oh....shut up." Malty moved and plopped down on Ren right as she set Nergal down. His chin was laying right on her chest and Ren smiled as he did. She then turned to Cassandra and brought the the brush back out.

Malty was loving the grooming he gets every morning. He felt like a new wolf every time she did it.
"Golly Malty....why do you always do this to me..." She gave a soft smile at him.

"Well because you are my best friend, girl friend, guardian, sister,brother, and so on and so forth."

Cassandra looked at him with suprised and confused eyes.
"Girlfriend and wife?" Malty really did not really catch himself when he said that. He turned as red as a rose. He sat up and dribbled over his words....
"Oh I ....Umm....Yo.....y......I didn.....Wh..." Cassandra silenced him with a finger to his mouth.

"Dont worry o much about it.....no come here...I am not done yet..." Malty gave a small happy grin on his mouth as Cassandra slowly finished brushing his fur.

'And......there....all done." Cassandra lifted Malty's face with her hands..." Well dont you look good."
"Well thank you....hey dont tell anyone I said that....." Malty had his ears down an had an embarssed look.

Cassandra smiled and gave a quick kiss to his head. "Promise." She then stood and tunred to Rolego...

"Lets go wake up the girls.....Our way." Malty gave a grin and anod and high fived.

Alana and Regina both laid in the same bed.......they were out cold......but not for long....

"FRAG AND CLEAR GO GO GO!!!" Rolego and Malty both tossed the girls out of the bed. The girls were so suprised and confused they were still partly asleep when they hit they ground....Rolego the lifted Regina as Malty lifted Alana....both girls were lying on their chest on the wolves chest....they were looking at each other the girls minds then finally woke.



"MALTY MALTY ROLL ROLL ROLLL!!!!!" Both girls eyes widened as they started.

"NO STOP!!!" Alana was screaming at the top of her lungs...
"ROLEGO QUIT IT!!!!! HA HA!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" The girls were both have a ton of fun!! The girls felt like they had just met Malty and Rolego for the first time!!

"MALTY THE GIRLS ARE BECOMING ARRATIC!!!! STOP ROLLING!!!!"
"OKAY!!!!"
"NOW THROW THEM IN THE AIR!!! THEY NEED TO AWAKE FOR THE DAY!!!"

The two then proceeded to toss the girls in the air.....the girls we loving every moment of it.

The girls were laughing and yeling in complete and total joy....then they both at the same time landed on Rolego and Malty's chest. They both got the wind knocked out of them....

Alana and Regina then all of a sudden stopped....and they saw Nergal.
"What happened to his fur Rolego?"
Rolego gave a sigh and told them the stroy.....both of the girls looked at him with a tilt of the head.,

"Huh."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"mmm-hmmm"
The girls did not think any diffrent of him...but they did like how he had what every strength he had left.

Both girls then turned to Rolego....Rolego was suprised to see them both smiling.....at him......akwardly....."Oh boy...."

They remembered that hey have not given him any kind of thanks......every since the day he had turned almost to full Deloxic.....they got on all fours.....and began to act very creepy...crawly towards him....Malty took a step back and grined.

"Sorry bro.....you are the one who scaped out of it a week ago."
Rolego gave him a small glare...."Traitor"

The girs began their act.
"Awww....Rolego are you okay?"
"Do you need something or someone?"
Rolego was backed into a wall...like before.....he was beginning to feel very diffrent...he was not mad....thank god....but....he did not like being cornered.

Malty knowing that he would be safe stood by with a grin. The girls were shoulder to shoulder and was about a few inches to Rolego....Rolego the turned into his fox form the second for them getting him.....he then tried to scurry off but due to Malty.....he was not going anywhere.

The girls then picked up the litte fox and looked at him dead in the eyes.
"Turn to Rolego....please."

Rolego was quickly tunred back.....and the second he turned he was jumped....

There was a tussel and alot of noise. After a few moments.....they got Rolego pinned on his back.

"Rolego what is a matter......you dont like us anymore?" Rolego was just abut to throw them off till Malty got in on it and made him unable to move.....the girls then began to do the one thing he hates.....he hates being bathed....water....getting cornered....but he absolutly hates being held down.

The girls then began to tickle and kiss his ribs,neck, and face. Rolego was both laughing and yelling....he could not decide wether or not to hate or to be happy....
"Love you Rolego...." Alana and Regina both hugged his head.....Rolego licked their faces....They gave him kisses....But as Rolego began to stand he felt the grip from the girls get stronger....
"What is wrong...."
Alana and Regina still could not shake the fact that Rolego has almost past...he had almost past...And they would not be able to see him agian. Every moment they see him....reminds them how lucky they are....as well as how scared they are for him....

Rolego was now sitting up....and the girls are both had their cheek on his chest....his heart was both powerful and soothing to hear.....they made him sit like that for a few moments.

Then Rolego gave them both a kiss to the head...."Hey.....hey......calm down.....dont worry....we will be fine....okay?"

The girls both heard his words....but his words this time......had a strong affect on them....they both kissed his lips and he stood so that they could lay on his back......but then....they stopped him...and brought him to the tub.....he shivered....he still does not like to be washed.....but he had no choice.....it was a small tub so he turned into his pup form....he still had his scarf on......sp the girls took that off...turned the tub off.....yes off.....and moved him....to sink...Rolego felt like a pup.......the girls both began to clean him....they started with his head....accedetally getting some in his eye....he whimper and cried for a bit but the girls cleaned his eye.

They then made him stand and washed his chestthen his back.....but then....he almost jumped out when they came to his area....he still did not feel very good about that....he trued to jump out of the sink but the girls caught him....they understood....buthe and they knew it needed to be done......Alana quickly picked him up and placed him on his back holding him....Rolego was thrashing and and throwing water everywhere...He could see the soap on Regina's hand and he fought even more to stand....he felt like he going to cry...but then he got loose and rolled his body away from her hand.....he felt ashamed...he wimpered like a pup......then....Alana grabbed his face...

"Rememebr last time.....we conquered it before.....why is it so much diffrent now....?"
"I just.....I just....." He did not have a answer.....then she held his head in her hands and rubbed her cheek on his head..and she began to sing.
Rolego ound some comfort but not enough...in his pup he feels so vulnerable....and since he is so easy to handel....his vulnerability was high....

As Regina saw how he looked....she brought her face to his....."Hey....it is okay....we did it before...."

"But-"
"I know.....I know.....but trust us....I know in times like this....it is hard too....but please..."

Rolego closed his eyes tight and gave a small and almost unotice able nod.

Regina then began to wash.....the longer she did the higher the pitch.......and he began to fidgit....every part of his body told him to move.......but he didnt....and couldent...Alana held his head and paws.....saying calming words and singing her song.....then Regina was finally finished....

Rolego....felt.....awful......and since he was a pup.....he did cry......and cried hard.....and also since he was a pup....it made the girls feel bad as well......they brought the inn towels and rags and wrapped Rolego.....

"I can dry mys-"
The girls did not listen.....they wanted to dry him....and hold him....both thinking....that this may be the last time they would....

"Why do you wash me.....why do you?" The girls looked down at him as he laid in Regina's arms...."It is because....we want to. And no....we dont do this as a favor back. We do this...because we want to love and care for you."

Rolego still a pup, then tried to stand and got out of the blankets...he was still kinda wet....so the girls placed him back in the blankets and towels....Alana now held him and kissed his nose...as did Regina....

"Love you Rolego...."
"Love You Rolego.....sorry for the bath."

"......I love you guys to....And dont worry about it."

"Alana then turned to the other two...."Love you too Malty and Nergal."

Malty smiled back."Love you guys to."

and Nergal smiled."Ah its good, I have no one to wash me, as I can care for myself". Giggled Nergal." And I love you two too, Alana and Regina". Smiled Nergal, and his fur was crystal white, whiter than snow ,and he changed to his puppie form."Um momy, shall we go out now, as I took a bath yesterday".He lied, but the smell of him was bad enought to get a drunken horse down, but he dident smell anything at all, and just smiled, and was about to go out the door.

Rolego sat a sa a pup in the arms of Alana and rolled his eyes from hte girls to him.
"Please do."
Rolego then tuned to look at Nergal. He had a comical grin on his face."If you dont it will be your Mom NightWind or the girls....Ren also knows you are lying....go and take bath...it is early in the morining. You are going to take one. Even if that means that we have to make you."

Rolego still damp gave a small shiver. He was now getting cold.

"Ah, I am so close to the door, then you have to catch me first". Giggled Nergal, and was about to run out, when Malty held him as a naughty puppie. "Aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww please, dont ruin the fun Malty, I, I dont want a bath, I am clean, look".And he lifted his forelegs, and almost green smoke cowerd the whole room, oh what a steanch it was". Ok, ok you can fight, who are going to wash me". Said Nergal.

Malty wen tstiff with disgust....Rolego and the girls gagged. They Could not believe how any one being could smell that bad....Rolego doesent bath himself, but he never smells like THAT!!!! Rolego was so disgusted he kicked out of the blankets and ran into the kit hen part of the room.

"OH MY GOSH NERGAL!!!!! WHY!!?? GIRLS GRAB HIM!! MALTY HOLD HIM DOWN!!!" Both girls grabbed the towels that were used to dry Rolego and Malty held his breath while he laid right on top of Nergal.

The girls were gagging and panting. Rolego started the water in the tub and he turned into NightRain.
Hurry GET HIM....GOOD GODS!!! NERGAL! She ran grabbed all four of them ran outside to the pool and closed the door and locked it. She threw all Malty Alana, Regina, and Nergal in the pool.

The pool was immediatly vacted by the girls and Malty......the pool turned to a brown.

and Nergal giggled." I know how you hate it mom, when I am dirty". Giggled Nergal, and looked at NightRain, and gulped when he saw his mom´s frown." Um I am sorry, wont happen again promise". He looked at NightRain." No need to call Ren out". Whined Nergal, and looked at her, whit scary eyes, and then he dived into the poll, and giggled for himself, as he saw how dirty all the water was, and he tip toed back towards the Inn, hoped nobody could hear him.

Oh? So you dont want Ren out....More of a reason to be let out. She went out of the room.....and came back a minute or two later with the soap and brush used on Rolego. She gave a look to the others.

Alana....you first....you were on and over him as well as the others...you all need a bath. Alana gave a look of pure horror. She then went slowly into the back room....came back out with a towel around her...she kept the towel on her as she entered the pool then took the towel off....she made sure she was in the pool fully before doing so. Night then sat down and placed her feet in the water. Regina also took part by pulling Malty in the pool....both Malty and Regina gave annoyed looks at the people that were cleaning them. They only giving smiles back.

Malty paid not mind though....he liked baths...but Alana....who is used to cleaning herself....was now being washed by Night...and she felt like a kid. Then Night gave her the soap the let her continue cleaning herself. Regina was finished way before Night and was also in the pool cleaning herself.


Now that the others were done....they went to Nergal....Alana and Regina had clean clothes on and Night turned to Ren......she let her nails contract out.

"We will need to get this soap deep Nergal.....you fault."

"Ren you dont have too, I am clean". He gasped, and was turning about, and as Ren had done, he just siped into the clean air, and was gone, he giggled for himself, as he did so."They never find me now, I dont want to be totured by Ren, while she is washing me".And he staied away from them, until he felt claws slide down his back, and he crumed his back towards the claws, and moaned, and looked at Ren." hey Ren".

She gave a comical grin.....but let her claws back in.
"Ok...here is the deal....it is either you take a bath...by yourself. Or we wash you. Option A we watch....we cant trust you to stay in the pool. Or option b....be embarassed to the point of you screaming." She picked him up and went nose to nose with him....

"Only one person will stay to wash you if you chose option B. So chose....we are waiting." She set hi down and she crossed her amrs and tapped her foot....she was not mood for games, chases, nothing. She was fairly dissapointed.

"ah ok, why cant I choose two hm, then I would choose Alana and Regina, to wash me, and say me one thing, why shuld it be embaracing to be washed, my mom always washed me, so I am used to be washed". He said, and looked at Ren. "I dont understand why Rolego is so affraid of the water, its not that he dosent like it, he is affraid of it, has somthing happned in his childhood Ren".

Ren was losing patience....she did not want to answer any questions. She wants to get Nergal clean. And if he wont listen she will.

"You have 30 seconds.....make your choice."

"Ok, I chuse Alana and Regina.He said looking after Ren.

Ren placed her fingers on her eyes. "What did I say? I said one...ONE!!....And also from the looks of it.....you dont have much of a choice.....One last time.....which one....ONE....?"

She was back to normal....the kind and gental Ren is now gone....the strict and energised Ren is now back.

"No one". He laughted, and dashed towards the forest, and fell into a big puddle of mud, and got cowerd in shit, from top to toe, and he smiled."Hey mom, I think I need a bath now".He laughted, and pointed his tounge at Ren, as he had done against his mom NightRain so long ago,it brouhgt back old memories in his mind.

Ren stomped over to him and let her claws out.....using them she lifted the mud covered pup by the scruff of the neck...Ren and NightRins voice seemed to mix....both voices were heard at once.

"That was not funny then.....and it is not funny now." They brought him back to the pool and threw him in.

"I guess I will have to." Ren said this with a stren tone. She was not to happy by how Nergal acted. But she was not caring of the fact that she had to clean him. She then herself got in and grabbed the stuff needed to do it. She brought Nergal to the shallow end of the pool. She could sit and still have her head above water.

She brought NErgal's tail and pinned it between the wall and her back. She did not do this hard but she did this with a firm hold....She then began to start cleaning Nergal....they water was now turning into a chocolate brown....this put a green hue on Alana's and Regina's face. MAlty simply laughed.

and Nergal moaned, and just was there, while being washed, he loved being washed, and looked at Ren, she seamed to like it to, and he licked her lips, and diped his head under water, and made bubbles come up to the surface, as he used to do when his mom used to wash him, and he giggled, when his head was back on the surface.

Ren was enjoying it a little. But she was having way to much of a problem just cleaning Nergal...he kept moving....and this made a challenge for her. but she did not say anything....she was loving the way he acted.

NightRain, who is now not in form, was smiling uncontrollably....she had many memories....

Ren however was now having some issues...with all of the comotion...her fur....it does not like water. So it weights her down a little....and she was getting pretty tired.

But she was just finishing rinsing what ever soap was left on him. When she was done she stood and lifted the drenched Nergal up....she was calm and gental agian.

"Finally....now go....I need to clean myself.....I was wallowing in your filth." She said this with a funny but annoyed grin.

"wow mom, you much more beautyful whitout any cloths on you". Said Nergal politly, as he dident want to anger her more today, and he had a little smile on his lips."Was that it mom, are you finished washing me now, I feel alot better to". Said Nergal, and looked after Ren." I love your naked body, so yellow and clean, and that long tail of yours, is just so beautful, as it is, I wonder why you even wear cloths".

Ren suddenly relized that he was not. Her clothers were torn off as she stood.
She quickly dropped Nergal and let out a small screech.

then tried to cover what was coverable. Malty had his jaw open.......and slowly turned red.
Alana and Regina gave a small laugh....
Ren looked down and up with a mix of fustration and confusion..."DONT.....SAY.....ANYTHING......."

and Nergal had done the same to Ren now, as he had done to his mom, he touhgt, and backed out of the pool, before Ren found anything."No I wont say anything mom, as long as you hold your paws away from my bottom, then ill keep my muzzle shoot". Giggled Nergal, but he knew he deserved what was coming, that was why he backed furter away from Ren, as it would be more painful now, when he was wet.

Ren then clasped her hands together and the cloths she wore began to dry and appear on her.
She got out of the pool dried her self with a quick flame.

She then stood scratched her head with a strong blush and walked out.

"Well let go get osme supplies. The cafe and armor shop should be open now....umm yeah lets go." She then quickly paked the belogings of the groups tossed the bags to them....lifted Nergal....hooked a leash on him....and she hooked Malty.....and clasped her hands in front of the girls and put them in newere and less smelly cloths.


"Ok Lets go....We have everything...."
The girls and Malty looked and gave a nod.....all three smiling....She then turned to Cassandra....and walked out dragging Nergal and Malty out the door.

But Nergal understood, that he had to be punished like this, so he followed politly after Cassandra, and looked in every direction." Hm I shuld know that this was comming". And he looked after Malty."If you walk like me, we can look like great hounds, following a beautyful lady beneth uhum". He blinked to Cassandra." Ren you looked so nice".He giggled.

Cassandra tunred and gave a dark glare to Nergal. She then lifted him up and held him right in front of her nose. She still had a frown but kept up apperances....she saw the woman she met two days ago and quickly dropped Nergal back into the front of her shirt.

Cassandra gave a smile.....which hid her true annoyance.

And Nergal had his head outside, so he could look, and he barked after the woman, and was licking her, and blinked to Cassandra." Its nice to be in here". He sent the tought to Cassandra, he was being realy naughty about it to, and looked at Malty, and sent a touhgt to him now." Its realy nice in here". He blinked to Malty, my, my he would be in truble, when they came back home.

After the woman gave a very confused glance and waved good bye. Cassandra looked down and kept her glare.....but she could not be mad forever....she gave a small sigh and moved to the nearest store....

Cassandra tilted her head as she looked at the sign.
"Rivits Clam Weapon Shop"

"Wow.....so origanl.....well girls since you will be going with us.....you will need to get a weapon....you know....just in case you need to use it."

Regina gave a nod...knowing that she could take care of her self.....but Alana.....did not like the thought.
"But...I dont know how to use weapons....all I know is the magic you taught me." Cassandra grined and held her face in her hands.

"That is why we are here.....we can get you a wand or staff of your choice if you want...it will stregthen the skills you have now as well....ok? I know it is not a comfy thought....but I want to know that you will be safe when I am not around. Ok?" Cassandra was then pulled er in and gave her a firm hug....Alana knew this was true....she held on to Cassandra's arm as they began to walk in.....But Cassandra finally said a fw more words to Nergal before entering.


"Please.....do not change or touch anything.....they have a wierd connection to their belongings. Ok?"
