Pepper loped past the mansion and skidded to a halt in front of the gates, which were now coming off their hinges. She hoped that Kyoshire was following her, as she sauntered into the Mansion's grounds. She sat underneath an old Oak tree, waiting for Kyoshire, and then Artemis, to join her, so he could welcome herself and Kyo, hopefully, into the pack. So then they could start their new life. Together. She smiled and raised her head, letting out a call for Artemis, which was so loud and powerful that all dogs within the Taurus packlands could, and would of heard her. She smiled and waited for her mate, and then her new alpha to appear.

Kyoshire loped after Pepper quietly. As she sat beneath the Oak tree, he joined her nervously. His tail flicked and he smiled at her. They were starting a new life, and it all began by a scent on the breeze. Kyoshire smiled. He wondered if possibly, he would change now. He wouldn't be lost anymore, he would find the truth about the ignorance of the dogs around him. He looked down at Pepper. She was beautiful. Her tail, her ears, her eyes. It was all lovely, and her voice flowed over him like a river over rocks. He could only hope that her alpha would accept him. he could only hope...

Pepper giggled and nuzzled Kyoshire happily.
"It's funny. How this all started, really. The humans suddenly disappearing and all, apparently all over a virus they had made, and some of the dogs went mental and killed off all the humans, kind ones and evil ones. But I guess things should start looking up now, right?"
Pepper rested her head on Kyoshire's back. She now knew how her mother felt when she was with father. Before he died, that is...... Anyway, the main thing was that now she had a handsome, kind and loving mate, and the chance to join a kind and strong pack. All they had to do now was to meet the alpha and become accepted.
(dukeduke have you posted in the joining taurus pack post? you have to do that before Artemis can accept you =] I have already done it)

Artemis hadn't been far away when the cry had came. He'd actually been in the mansion. He hardly spent any time there, especially when he didn't have to. But, for the last week or so he'd been getting stowaways. Those who just came for the night and then scarpered. Artemis had nothing against them joining, they were welcome to, but he didn't like temporary residents. Those in his pack had to be loyal to him and prepared to protect their land. With a slight shake of his silken head, the Irish Setter Cross scaled the stairs up to the first floor. Stairs didn't both him, his long, thin body shape was perfect for reaching up on the tall steps. His long tail was held out behind him, flicking gently fro mside to side. All of the windows were open, per his request. He liked the air in the mansion to be fresh and not stuffy as it had been when he'd arrived.
He moved one ear at the call. Ah, another one. He'd been getting a good few recruits as of late. Most of them happened to be female, but a few were male. His pack status was more or less even on all accounts. He had no female leader, and prefered to keep it that way. He didn't like the idea of another telling him what to do and with the power to do it. He had Commanders to give him advice and he would take advice from any of his dogs, but none of them had the power to control the whole pack. That was his job, his job was protection.
He made his way up to a window with was basically one whole wall. It had been swung back against the wall behind. Artemis looked down from the window into the grounds, lying down with one lay out of the window, his tail flicking rythmically. "Come for a reason, or just admiring the view?" He asked, looking across from the first floor of the house onto the lawns.

Pepper looked up to see the Alpha, Artemis. She had heard of him, but she had never seen him before. But somehow, she just knew it was him.
"Oh, well we came for a reason, but the view is nice aswell. I was hoping, well, if myself, and my mate, Kyoshire, could join your pack."
Pepper smiled politely to Artemis before turning back to Kyoshire, smiling encouragingly. She stood up and stretched her legs, she was the happiest that she had ever been in her entire life. And she hoped that it would stay that way. She licked Kyoshire's maw and licked her chops, before turning to look back up at the Alpha.

Kyoshire sttod up at the sound of a dog's voice. "No, we wish to join your pack." he said smiling at Pepper. "As she has already stated." He looked over the dog carefully taking in his shape, his coat, his eyes, the way he held himself, everything about the dog. He scented confidence radiating off of him strongly. Somehow, he had a feeling that it was ok. He laid his tail protectivly on Pepper's back, he knew that Artemis could scent her state and he was making sure that he knew she was taken. He waited quietly for the dog to speak.

Artemis took in both of the new canines, his dark stare lingering over both in turn. He didn't stay on one for longer than the other, just a passing glance at both. Since they were in close proximity to each other he could easily watch them both together. He raised himself off his paws and jumped down lightly from the window. Below the window, only a metre or so below, was a terrace from the windows below. He landed lightly on this before moving down to a large overturned flower box. His long tail being used to balance his form on each soft leap and landing. This box he stayed upon, curling his tail around his forelegs as he seated himself. The very end of his tail flicked up and down. "Why have you chosen this pack over the others?" He asked, watching the two newcomers intently, hardly moving a muscle excpet the tip of his tail and his ears.

Pepper stood up and nuzzled Kyoshire, while listening to Artemis's words. She smiled and shrugged slightly.
"Well, we are both neutrals, and we have both heard of the Cambridge and the Mafia packs evilness, and how only darks reside there. And the Reflux pack are full of dogs that loved humans. I don't love humans, but I don't hate them, so this is the pack for me, right?"
Pepper smiled again and watched a rat scurry across the ground in front of her. She darted out a paw, armored with sharp, hooked claws and swiped at the rat, killing it instantly. She ripped the rodent in half, eating the smaller half herself and leaving the larger half in front of her, motioning to both the other dogs, that, if they were hungry, they were welcome to eat the other bit. She chewed on the rats tail and waited for either of the males with her to reply.

Artemis nodded at her reply. It sounded sincere. If she was sincere, she would be welcomed here. He chose loyalty over anything else. He had two prospective Commanders at the moment, both swearing their oaths to cast down their lives for the pack. Artemis didn't worry of his life or his safety, that wasn't his intention, he could look after himself. No, he looked out for his pack. If these two joined his pack, they would be looked out for with the same type of attentiveness, wariness. Not dogs were better in his pack, he treated them all equally. Even himself. He jumped off his flower box, tail suddenly out behind him once more. His head was held high as he walked over to Kyoshire and Pepper. "What is your name?" He asked the female. She had already stated that her mate's name was Kyoshire, so he didn't need to ask this. He never asked irrelevant questions except to annoy. He didn't even look at the rat. "No, thank-you. You may keep it." He walked passed her and stopped for a less than a seconds pause in front of Kyoshire before walking passed them both. "I can show you around if you so wish it." He offered, his voice still the expressionless purr it always was. Unintentionally soft and, some had said, seductive. He didn't know or care for that matter, it was just his voice.

Pepper nodded at Artemis, before standing up, looking at the moon, smiling dazedly before replying to the males question.
"Oh! How silly of me, my name is Pepper."
Pepper looked at the other half of the rat and continued.
"Why thank you very much, a tour of the territory would be great, don't you think Kyoshire?"
Pepper smiled and turned to her mate, who had stayed quite quiet throughout the whole of the introduction, and nuzzled him once more, waiting for his reply keenly.

Kyoshire sat silently. "That would be good." he said quietly. He had never been around more than one dog at a time. It had always been just himself alone. He looked at Artemis silently as he waited still. He would have to get used to this, he figured if he was ever to join a pack, after all, by the scents on Artemis's fur, he could tell there were plenty more dogs there. But that was fine as long as the key tp his life. to his turmoil, his inner destruction, the key for him to understand was hidden within it.

Artemis looked between the pair. They seemed like a vaguely new couple as they went. Neither of them were any older than he was, but no-one is his pack was. Their ages varied around from around two, to his own age of four. Pepper. He was alright with names as a rule, and could remember Kyoshire and Pepper witout much difficulty. Memory was something he had aquired over the years and months. He stretched out his two front paws, his spine dipping down slightly as he stretched out the muscles. He straightened, his tail moving around his back legs in a gentle waving motion. "Well, you seem to have already seen the house. I can't say I spend a great deal of time here, but you are welcome to yourselves." He said, turning his back on them both and letting his easy walking gait take him passed the house and onto the well cared for gravel path. They could follow if they wished. He didn't particually mind if they didn;t, he was perfectly contented to wander his ground and his lands by himself. It didn't make any difference to him, all it was that he would have to speak every now and then. This, aswell, didn't bother him much, as long as they didn't pester him too much.

Pepper yawned and padded beside Kyoshire, watching Artemis with big orbs, smiling and letting her salmon pink tongue slip out of her jaws and rest on her lower jaw.
"It's looks lovely here."
Pepper watched Artemis walk away, down a long gravel path, and she followed, looking behind her at Kyoshire, woofing at him, waiting for him to follow/ Or he could stay where he was, she did not really mind. She smiled and wandered back to him, licking his jaws and nuzzling him, before letting smooth lyrics slip out of her maw.
"Hey, you coming?"
Pepper smiled and licked his nose, before padding towards Artemis and the gravel path, wondering if her love would follow. She whimpered softly as she got a small, sharp stone lodged between her paw pads. She growled as she tried to get it out. After a few moments, she managed to scrape the offending item away. She put pressure on her paw and whined again. She looked back to Kyoshire and motioned for him to follow, before limping over to her new lead, and down the gravel path, waiting for her love to join them, to explore the unknown territories, their new home.

Kyoshire nodded to Pepper, "Yeah, I'm coming." he said and he slowly padded off after her. He frowned as she began limping and he darted towards her. He was beside her in a flash and was licking her paw soothingly. "Does that hurt? Are you ok?" he licked it more vigourously and looked at her with his tounge hanging out. "Here, let's lay down here for a bit, then maybe we can go find the camp?" he asked her. Many thoughts ran through his head. Would their love last? Would their pups understand life? Would Pepper even want to have pups with him? Or, even better a question, would this be the key he has always bee looking for? That would give him the answers? He sighed and waited for her.

Pepper smiled and sat down, watching as Kyoshire nuzzled and licked her sore, bleeding paw pad. She turned to Artemis and called out to him, sweet lyrics floating from her maw.
"Artemis we will look around later, for now we will just rest here. We might see you later."
Pepper smiled to Artemis before turning back to face Kyoshire and nuzzling him. She wanted to have pups with him, but she did not know how to ask him. She inhaled deeply and spoke.
"Kyoshire? Would you like....to have pups with me?"
Pepper blushed slightly and waited anxiously for her mates reply. She always wanted to be a mother, ever since her mother told her the joys of motherhood, seeing those little bundles of life squirming around at your feet, tiny little orbs blinking up at you, yapping and squealing for attention and warmth. She could tell that Kyoshire would make a devoted, and caring father, always looking out for his pups and his lover, guarding them with his life. She could imagine small pups romping through the Taurus Packlands, play fighting one another, making a racket, yapping and whining all the time, and imaging Kyoshire and her, watching over them proudly. She shook her head and smiled, before turning back to Kyoshire, waiting for what he might say.
