Yukiko gazed down at the little white slip of paper clamped tightly between her fingers, upon which a rapidly scrawled note had been written. A cool breeze ruffled her long brown hair and attempted to steal the note from her grasp, but the paper refused to budge. The Ookami's gaze traveled upwards, from the object in her hands up towards the high branches of the tree before her.
Once upon a time she had heard her father talk of "Wish Trees"/ People would write down their wishes on fortunes and tie them to the branches of a tree, in hopes that they'd come true. Grant it, the tree was often part of a shrine, but seeing as there weren't any of those around Hatsu Itonami this would have to do. And so Yukiko started to climb.
When she had reached a fairly decent height the green-eyed Ookami leaned over as far as she could and used a little piece of string to secure her "wish" to a small, twig-like branch.
After accomplishing this task, Yukiko began her decent. Sadly, she hadn't been counting on one of the branches underneath her feet breaking, sending her flying to the forest floor. The Ookami groaned, rubbing her sore forehead.
I really hope this isn't some sort of sign. She thought sourly, picking leaves out of her hair.
