#3 of DA Den

The third chapter! Where everything gets better..I think...


Later that night...Aero was walking through the DA Streets over looking his day.How he argued with Makoto.Then later met a nice vixen.He laughed at that thought,but made a sudden stop.He sniffed the air."That scent..."Aero growled."I know that scent..."He rushed to a corner and peeked around.There he saw Joseph sitting on concrete steps,writing in a hard-backed notebook.Aero growled louder.Joseph heard it and looked over but Aero hid in time."Why does he have that scent."Aero said.Joseph had closed his notebook,got up and walked Aero's direction.In Aero's mind he thought he should confront the human,but in other words,he wanted to follow the human and see where that scent came from.So he scaled the building as Joseph came around it.

As Joseph made his way down the street,with Aero right behind him jump from building to building,he and Aero started to he screaming,so he started running towards the screams.Aero pursued him.They took many turns before they came upon an alley.Joseph put his back to the wall hidden from the screams.He peeked around and saw two strong looking guys sticking up a beautiful,young lady."Give us your art,before something bad happens."said one of the robbers.The lady handed them her purse.They snatched it and started running Joseph direction.Aero looked on from above."Maybe it's ti-!"When he looked back down,he saw Joseph clothesline one of the robbers."I don't like people who steal from hard working artists."Said Joseph seriously.The robber with the purse dropped it to help his dude,but Aero jumped down on him.Joseph turned to him in his fighting stance but realized it was Aero,so he calmed down.

"What the hell?When did you get here.?"Asked Joseph.Aero was bout to answer but Joseph's scent made him angry,so once Joseph turned his head to see if the lady was ok,Aero pinned him up against the alley wall.Joseph was slightly intimidated as Aero looked at him with a snarling face."Why do you have her scent!?"Aero shouted.Joseph tried to get Aero massive arms off of his shirt."Dude what scent,wolf?"Unknowingly to Aero the lady ran up to him and hit her purse.Unphased,Aero looked at her."Leave him alone you lupine beast!"Screamed the lady.With one hand,Aero held Joseph and with the other he grabbed the lady."If you are smart...you will leave..."Said Aero seriously.Since Aero was distracted,Joseph had slipped out of his shirt and kicked him the knee.Aero had let go of the woman and dropped to one knee."You son of-"Joseph had dropkicked him in the mouth."Bitch...Cuz that's what you are."Said Joseph finishing Aero's sentence.Aero had dropped to the ground with a bloody nose.So Joseph did the right thing and ran off just as the lady did.Aero just laid there thinking why did he just do that?Why didn't he just ask him?With those thought he drifted on to sleep.

*** The next mourning at Nate's house.Nate was up early getting ready for his day,he had brushed his hair,got his bag ready and completed his game.All he had to do was brush his teeth and take a shower.So as he headed down the hall,he started to smell the scent of apple cinnimon,but he condone it and headed to the bathroom.As got to the door,he started to hear heavenly singing,but yet again he ignored it and when he got into the bathroom he stood there,paralyzed etheir in fear or amazement.Through the foggy glass was a shillouette of Mako,dancing.After that he quickly grabbed his toothbrush and rag(or for people from the 'burbs' washcloth),then silently rushed out.After Nate had left Mako peeked out of the shower,but then forgot about it.

*** Aero had awaken with the feeling of regret and nose pain.He sat up and checked his nose to wipe the dry blood off."Why did he have Mako's scent and it was strong too."He got up and started walking,as he was walking down the street he started to notice he was getting dirty looks."Well this is alittle uncomfortable."It was all when he had turned a corner that he knew that something was wrong,when someone shouted "Lupine Asshole!" from across the street."Alright that's enough."Aero went into a place called "Recent Activity" which is a place where you can get updates and news.He went to the closest computer and on it was what happened also an interview with the lady he threatened.He clicked on it and it played a video of the interview.

Interviewer:It's nice to have you here ma'am.*he and the lady shake hands then sits down* Lady:I'm glad to do it. IV:So you were attacked by a couple of guys and what were they trying to do? Lady:Well they tried to steal a commission that I made for my sick cousin. IV:I see,and who came to your aid? Lady:Well a nice young man the people around his neighborhood call him Joseph*Looks at the camera*and if you're out there I would love to thank you.*blow a kiss and looks back at the interviewer*

IV:I also heard you and that young man was attacked by Anthro Freerunner,Aero Hatake. Lady:Yes and he threatened my hero. IV:So what did you do? Lady:I knew it was stupid but I attacked him with my purse.As I distracted him,Joseph attacked and gave me the chance to get away. IV:Well he is truely a hero.Thank you madame.*Shakes her hand and looks towards the camera*Later today we'll try to get an interview with the hero of this situation.

Aero punched the computer and of course broke it."Shit!Shit!Shit!"Shouted Aero with great anger.He stopped since he forgot he was in a public place and people were staring a mother brought her child closer to her.Aero looked around then ran out.

Even with all the fame and press he was getting from his friends and other random people,he just didn't like it.Ever since his young days fame and fortune never sat well with him.When he had fortune it caused him to change and even reject friends like Nate and and even better friend.So as he walks through the DA Park,with his headphones blaring(Listening to "Coming Home" by Diddy-Dirty Money) and his head down looking at the pavement,ignoring everything around him.People that walk pass him pat him on the back and give him compliments,like he hears them.Joseph puts his head up and see a nice shady tree.He sits under it and pulls out his hard-backed notebook and starts to write.

***

After getting cleaned up,Mako got dressed and headed to the kitchen to get something to eat.When she got to the kitchen,she saw Nate in there at the sink,with a sly thought she decided to surprise him.So sneaking through the medium sized kitchen until she got to the table,Nate had turned around with a toothbrush in his mouth,but she hid under the table,so he turned back to the sink,then she snuck up behind him and touched his shoulder,he jumped and turned around with a scared face and mouth full of foam.Mako quickly hugged him."Good morning Natey."Said Mako softly.When she took her head off his shoulder to look at him,it looked like he was blushing until he grabbed at his throat,indeed he was choking."Oh my gosh!"She stood behind him and started doing the Himlick manuver,when he had cough up the thing was choking on he stumbled to the table.Mako had looked at the object strangely."Is that your toothbrush?"She picked it up with her index finger and thumb."Now how'd you swallow that?"Question Mako.Nate had caught his breath and Mako gave him his toothbrush.

"Thank you Makoto...I gotta ask...WHY DID YOU SNEAK UP ON ME!!!"Shouted Nate.Mako started touching her headfur."Well I thought I should thank you for letting me stay here with a breakfast buffet."Said Mako.Nate had calmed down and froze for a minute."Breakfast buffet you say?"Nate said Wiliam Shatner like."Yeah,I owe you one.You're one of the many I stayed with that didn't want to...well that doesn't matter.So you just sit back or go out cuz when you come back I'll have a table full of food for ya."Mako said in a cheering manor.Nate hugged Mako."Thanks Makoto.This is the first of a long time since I had a good breakfast that didn't include chinese food.I appreciate it."He let her go and he left,after the hug Mako had felt frozen like it was a new feeling to her.A friend that actually appeciated her.

After hours of writing,the sun has gotten a little lower on Joseph's writing time and plus his MP3 player went dead."Damn low rate Disney Mix-Max shit."He says as he closes the notebook,he looks at his watch,it reads '10:30 a.m.',so he gets up from the tree and starts roaming through the park.He starts to notice there are a consideral amount of people here at this time,most are making out and old ones are feeding the birds.So Joseph follow what everybody was doing which was sitting down.He sat down on a bench that was next to a tree.He rested his head on his left hand as it rested on the bench armbar.He watched couples go by,looking at the female's dariair,smiling.He even seen a lesibian couple which really excited him to say-"Now that is quite a pair!"He shouted.They two girls looked back and waved at him,he was surprised at first,but he waved back.

"So I see you're enjoying yourself."Said a light,female voice.Joseph looked over to see a beautiful,light skinned woman.She was wearing a black shirt with a pink logo on it,some black jeans and pink flip flops.Joseph looked her up and down."Do I know you?"Asked Joseph plainly.The girl giggled."You really don't remember me huh?"she said.Joseph leaned even more on the armbar."Lady I don't remember half of anybody I meet."Said Joseph in the same tone."Well alright."The girl got a purse from off the ground and Joseph's notices it quicky.

"That ba...you're the chick from last night."Said Joseph surprised.The girl moved closer to him."I'm more than that to you."The girl kisses him and at that moment all of Joseph's thoughts came rushing back to him.Everything he had forgotten,came to him like it happened yesterday.He had broke away from the kiss."Nicole....."
