Downtime 3

well if this guy gave you the chougou name I think you should have a proper name, a real name, i think chougou is your slave name and you should pick a new name. you should have a fresh start all around, I think this will help free your self.

Kitaro ponders for a second.

There could be truth in that. How about a religous name? like Mohammed, or Ali. Are you a religous man?

"What about Yaogou? Biting dog?"

To Chougou Emiko says, "that is a cruel position you have been placed and your intentions are noble in dealing with the situation. Even my experience with the boy and the collar, while small in comparison to yours, was quite traumatizing; I would want to see the person responsible stopped before any more lives are taken."

"I came to this center to offer my services and that extends to all of you," she looks to Chougou and then around the room to speak to everyone. "Please let me know how and where I can help."

"As far as your name, ugly dog, you are neither ugly nor a dog. I have met many people in my life and you show character to be more beautiful than many of them. I also believe you are nobody's dog. You are more like the okami, the wolves that farmers revered for they would help protect against those that would do them harm.  I agree, you should change your name and choose one that reflects who you truly are."

"Thank you all..I have kept my name to remind myself of where I came from and to remember to help others that were in my position, wearing it as a burden to never forget the amount of pain that is in the world and the depths suffering that people are capable of going to.

I am known by that name to my friends even though you all I'm sure didn't recognize the meaning; but now it is being used by an enemy to taunt me. It may be time to cast it aside until I...we...have avenged this brutal murder. In the dialect that Nikaru spoke fu(復) chou(仇) means vengeance, basically returning to your enemy what they have done to you. I can be the dog of vengeance...maybe even a wolf...my life has no meaning until whoever has done this has paid for their crime.

If you all would honor me with this new name I will live its meaning until I have proven its truth."

"Absolutely"

Ichigo will meet up with Niko and hang out for a bit before getting the keys and he will say to her...."Thank you Niko you are the best!" Then he will drive the ambulance home to the firehouse. Then he gather everyone to show them our new ride!
