Prolly going to play Budokai three later at a friends, so, thats gonna be fun, so, something to look forward to, but, for now, must run, here is the enxt installment of my story



Chapter 9 – Plan

Once inside, Kiba walked over to the fire that had been lit in the old open fireplace, placing Richard directly in front of it, on the mat which was still there, letting him go slowly. Once down, Richard could immediately feel the flames of the fire against him, warming him up, he still had the tattered clothes he had on when he was attack, he had no shirt anymore and barely and trousers left, he felt almost naked, he needed to get some clothes some point.

Looking to his side, all the Wolves were in there Wolf form, sitting around the fire, Kiba had sat himself down directly next to him, Richard now on his back, feeling some pain, but, not as much as he would have felt, they really did help it, even though he went through so much agony, he was grateful. Lying there, he looked up, seeing the bright yellow eyes of Kiba looking down at him, as he turned to look back up to the ceiling, he felt him rest his muzzle on his chest, the fur on it still slightly cold from been outside.

Richard just lay there, it was such a strange feeling, been here with a Wolf resting on him, he moved his right hand to stroke his back, he could see him smiling as he did this, and it also made him feel better, somehow, he was able to derive strength from this. It is strange, he never thought he would ever be in this kind of situation, but, even after all that has happened, he would not swap it for the whole world, for him, this has been the greatest adventure he ahs ever had, and one he would not forget, ever.

He was resting there, when he felt the other ones move in slightly, Tsume resting at the bottom of his legs, Toboe at his other side and Hige resting just above his head, his tail wagging around by his cheek, playfully, as if teasing. He felt like for the first time in a lot of years he was safe, and inside this circle of Fur, he drifted off, allowing himself to be taken away, feeling the most content he had in years.

He felt a strange glow against him, he was restrained again, but, it was not in a malicious way, he felt a warmth still run through him, and he heard the voice again, he tried to respond, but still found himself unable to, only air coming out as he tried, “Fragment, come to me, Paradise awaits, bring and take care of the Wolves, together, we will save them” the light then began to disappear, leaving him behind in darkness again.

He awoke, his eyes opening slowly, he heard snoring around him, and as he turned his head, he saw Kiba and the others resting, still asleep, Kiba still resting his muzzle on his chest, moving slightly as he slept, Richard simply smiled to this, and tentatively stroked the side of his muzzle, suddenly having to move it as it snapped his fingers, Kiba waking instantly. Kiba looked to him, just waking up, having a shocked look on his face, saying to him quite hurried, “Sorry, I didn’t mean” he stood up, and looked to Richard, looking to make sure he wasn’t hurt, Richard smiled and said to him, a smile on his face, saying, slightly amused

“It is ok, look” he wriggles his fingers about slightly, “Still there” he smiled, and got up slowly, stretching as he stood up, his back now feeling a lot better, but, as he felt with his arm, he could feel the scars there, his back would never be the same again. At least he was still alive, that was one thing he could be happy and proud about, having good enough friends who would rescue you in your greatest hour of need.

Walking around the room, he suddenly realized his lack of clothing, Kiba also noticed his and laughed slightly, turning back to his Human form, and walking over to him, putting his index finger in the air, as if to say’ Wait a sec’, Richard knew this well, and just stood there, trying to gather together what he could of his clothes, his pants were now all but a shade or red, still slightly damp, and the smell of blood heavy in them. Kiba walked back into the room a few seconds later, carrying what looked like a whole new set of clothes, Richard smiled and walked off into the room he got these from and put them on.

They were a perfect fit, a Pair of Black Jeans and Shirt, as well as a knee length leather jacket, they seemed to fit him well, wearing the Black Boots he still had, which were still in good shape, he walked back in, and Kiba smiled, saying as he walked in, “You looks a lot better now, you shouldn’t freeze to death now” Kiba smiled, as well as the other Wolves, who had, in his absence now woken up, and sat by the fire in there human forms. He smiled at the comment, and heard the other call over, Hige first,

“Looks good”, Toboe then following suite,

“Yeah, a lot better”, smiling as he said it, Tsume shouting over last,

“Better not try taking the tough guy looking role, I have that all covered already, don’t make me fight for it” Tsume laughed, and Richard smiled to this, he knew he was only joking, but he did feel a lot more comftable now in clothes that were not falling to bits. He then said, looking back to them,

“Thank you so much, you have great taste, at least now I am not semi-naked” he laughed slightly to this last comment, the others giving a smile too, it seemed that it was all well, he was now dressed, and they looked ready. After standing there for a few minutes, Kiba then moved over to the fire where the others were sat, Richard walking over with him, sitting next to him and Toboe on his other side, he listened to what Kiba had to say, speaking clearly, and formally,

“Well, we cannot keep putting it off, we are going to Jagara’s Keep, to rescue Cheza, and open Paradise” he spoke his words clearly, and although he had no conscious idea of what he meant, he seemed to understand, he continued to listen to what was said, “We will strike tonight, and take the flower maiden back”, he shot a look to Richard, and said, looking straight at him, “I am going to rely on you there Richard, it will be dangerous, you do not have to come, it does not concern you, but, if you were to come, I would appreciate it” he gave a slight smile, and Richard’s response was almost immediate,

“Of course I will help, count me in” he nodded at Kiba, he seemed to acknowledge this with his own nod, and carried on, looking back to the others,

“Well then, we are set, we all know what we are doing, lets go” he stood up at this point, the others following suite, silently walking to the door, Richard was last up, and walked through the door just behind Kiba, closing it as he left, the fire embers slowly dying down, was this to be a mission he would not return from? He couldn’t be sure, but whatever the turn out, he dies free.

They climbed into the truck again, Tsume driving, Hige sat with him, while Kiba, Toboe and Richard all sat in the back, closing the cloth at the back, he looked to Tsume, and nodded, who at that point turned on the engine, and the truck began to move forward, Richard sitting down directly next to Kiba, the cloth he had laid on still on the floor, a pattern of blood around it, you could see where he lad laid. It seemed all too solace within the truck, no one was speaking, were they too busy contemplating what they would do, he still did not fully comprehend the magnitude of the situation he was in, it felt all too calm to him, which always in the past meant trouble was looming.

They must have been only gone about ten minutes when Richard looked to Kiba, who had closed his eyes, what was he thinking? It didn’t matter, he asked him, almost whispering, “Were going to come back alive, aren’t we?” he had a tenseness inside him, he didn’t want to lose any of them, he would rather die than let one of them die. Kiba’s eyes snapped open, and he said, as he sat there, not turning his head either, but patting Richard on the back,

“Of course we will, you don’t need to worry”, he placed his hand back on his side, Richard sat there, looking back to the ground, he felt that Kiba was trying to be strong for both of them, but he knew hard times were coming, he needed to be ready for the worse.
