Wolf Reserch
We didn't to a howling servay last night, because it was snowing and all tracks would be covered up. Basicly, even if you don't get an answer, wolves will go the area you howled from, and mark it, which you cant see the next day if it is still snowing when they do that, so we age going out tonight.
Constinetine was a good movie, nice CGs. I have class today, So I have to go do some homework, last minute.

(Visited today so far Raven8763, inuyasha311, and heruchigu....always forget who I visisted *sweatdrop* also vistied bluedemonboy, Bowser, Glitch4.0, and syaoranfan later in the day as well as Forbidden Kitsune and Cooly Fooly.)

I have wolf researk tonight. We're doing a howl servay. Basicly, we drive out to the middle of nowhere,
turn off the car, tun out the lights, walk 50 yards away and run if we hear barking...then I get to HOWL as loud as I can. Almost like a mafia hit, huh?

so.....
A german short haired pointer won best in show. I rather have had the bloodhound win. Wolf research tommorow...and thats it!
___________
Autos Note: Ok, the city in the beginning of this chapter is the city from episode 6. I stink at names, so the scarred old wolf is the leader of that pack.

It had been a rough winter, but the wolves of the small city. The scared old wolf sighed as he watched his pack work to unload the train. "Maybe those whelps were right to go looking for paradise. I wonder how far they got? Oh well, all I can hope for is the survival of my pack." With a shake he turned bact to the work at hand. "Watch what your doing!" he scouted as one of the teams cargo teattered dangerously on the edge of the platform.

Quickly he ran over to see if he could help in some way. It was no use. The load was just to heavy for the four wolves pulling. While they managed to prevent the cargo from falling on the tracks, the crates spilled onto the floor. "Move!" he shouted as he rushed to the fallen crates. As he approached he got a good look at what was making his pack so nervous about pulling cargo. One of the crates was filled with a dog, or at least that is what he thought at first glance.

Carefully, so as not to frighten the creature, he moved next to the crate and tried to lift the one on top of it to little avail. All the while he watched the dog within the crate. Something was oddly familiar about those golden eyes and rust/cream colored coat. "You're one of those wolves from a few months back!" He gasped.

"Huh?" A dazed Toboe replied.

"I knew it! But were are the others? What happened?"

"We got separated, have you seen Tsume? Please, help me!"

Before the older wolf could answer, an official looking man called out, "Hey, get away from there! Those dogs are dangerous!"

"I'll do what I can, boy, I'll get word to your pack." he whimpered as he backed up.

"Watch out!" Toboe started. As the Scarred old wolf jumped back the crate on top of Toboe's fell towards the old wolf, blocking him, and putting his eye to eye with a very frustrated Tala.

"Damn! I missed! Toboe, Why'd you have to go and rune my fun!!!" She snarled. "Come closer old one. Come closer so I may kill you!!"

"Tala, stop! He's going to help me!" Toboe whined.

"Ha! Let me guess, another one of your 'wolves' right? This that Tsume guy your always talking about?"

The old wolf's eyes widened in surprise and he would have asked questions if it had not been for the men who came over at that point and moved the crates onto the new train. As it was, he just stood there until the train left. A short time later, he sent one of his fastest and most loyal wolves to find the pack searching for paradise with a message.

On the train

Tala! Why did you have to go and do that? He could have gotten us out!

No, Toboe, he couldn’t. There were people all over the place! And besides, he was looking at you, he didn’t even notice me until I nearly landed on his head!

But....! Toboe whined.

So, Interrupted the female, was that one of your wolves you always talk about? Huh, I could almost believe you......but not quite. That hidden form is really something else.

Yeah, Toboe sighed, ignoring her disbelief, that was another wolf.

Huh. Well, I think we should get some sleep, the next fights should be a little different, all the dogs are acting up. some distant town, far away, a week later

“Tch!” Tsume snorted in descust as they once again were jocceled by the crowd. “Why did you have to come to this city anyway?”

“We came here to find the path to paradise! Honestly, you have a shorted memory then.....” Hige started, only to stop himself before uttering Toboe’s name. Of course, Tsume knew exactly what he was about to say.

“What did you say!?” the short tempered gray wolf snarled as he spun to face Hige. Shrugging, the rest of the group decided to continue on, after all, this was becoming an almost daily occurrence.

“Ah! I didn’t say anything! Honest I swear!” Hige cried, backing up. Fortunately for him, he was saved a beating by someone running into Tsume, whom in turn spun around to vent his rage on this new annoyance.

“You....!!!” Tsume started, not even fazed by the fact that his new...’opponent’(though victim is more like it)...was a wolf. “Why I’ll....! he started.

“Are you the wolves looking for paradise?” The newcomer yipped backing up quickly.

Spinning around, eyes wide, Kiba asked, “Who want’s to know?”

“Thank god I found you! Listen! I’m from the city you visited a few months back....”

“Huh. You’ll have to be more specific then that, we’ve visited many towns.” Kiba sighed.

“You got mad. The wolves in our town do dog’s work you said...”

“Now I remember the town.” Kiba snarled.

“What? You decide to stop being a dog and come with us?” Tsume growled in disgust.

“No! I came to deliver a message!”

“Well?”

“Our leader says...” the newcomer started straitening up, “he says ‘Kiba, Hige, Tsume, I found something of yours the other day. Don’t kill my boy for telling you this,’” at this the messageanger looked a little nevus, “‘Toboe passed through a while back.’” Tsume went to strangle the massager, but was held back by the rest of his pack. “‘He’s in the fight pits. I don’t know how he got there, and I don’t know were he’s going, but if you check out the pits, you’ll probably find him. He’s waiting for you. Oh, and watch out for his...friend. She’s a real bitch.’ That’s all he said! I swear! Don’t kill me!” With that, the messenger took off.

“Tell the old man we said thanks!” Hige called after him. “Great! Now we have a lead!”

“I guess we’ll have to hold up looking for paradise,” Kiba started as he glanced at Tsume, “Toboe seams to need a hand.”

end of chapter HA! I can do cliffies to! Thanks again for all the reviews. I hope you still like it. Next chapter, Tala and Toboe fight in different ways, and the search for Toboe begins.

stuff
nothing to say really......heres the next chapter.....

OK! I feel really loved with all the reviews! YES!!! And now to thank the newest reviewers. Those of you who have questions, I'll try to answer them now.

Whiskers: This takes the cake for coolest/scariest review ever. I have updated. Don't go all Hulk on me! I'll try to write more soon.

Zero Wolfwood: (Again) Molly must have been really cool then. I love the feedback.

Kitsune-firedragon: Shakes as she hands you the new chapter Ok! Here's the new chapter! That has to be the 2nd most coolest/scariest review ever!

MinaMina: Sorry it took so long to update. I'm going to be able to update sooner now that I'm getting out of school, I hope.

Rasgara: How do you pronounce that? Glad you liked the story!

Zero Wolfwood: Cool idea! I am so going to use that....probably next chapter though.

AbeoUmbra: lol, cute. Thanks again for informing me about the wolf rain Column. Also, Tsume is going to be VERY VERY mad.

Black Robed One: Thanks, I'm glad you like the work. The chapters might take a while to update, sorry, I work and I also have another story I'm working on.

kitsune-sama17 : Cute, huh? Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Dragon Trainer: You have a point about the dog/pet thing, but if you remember, he got really mad when Tsume called him a pet, and when Hige hinted at it. (The whole grandma thing). As for not running away, well, if he did, there would be no story. And besides, it doesn't work on everyone (the old couple) so it doesn't work on people who work closely with pit fighting. Thanks for the questions.

Snug: Ok, I will try and put more on Kiba He's just so hard to write.... Maybe because I actually dislike him. And Toboe will be developing some backbone REAL soon, so he will not be annoying any more, ok? And there can never be too many suggestions.

NightLynix: I'm honored that you reviewed, and I will defiantly put more details in the fights.

SnakeMistress: Glad you like it. I'll update as frequently as possible.

Cassandra G: I like Tsume's temper. Thanks for the review.

Sorrowful Memory: I'm so glad to hear that you like my story, I'll try to update more often.

THANK YOU! All of you! Also, if anyone is interested in reading the other story I'm currently working on, it's Foxglen by HecateLoviatar, k? It's a yuyu one. Now on with the story! Also, I think I'm going to avoid answering Reviews after this‰Û1Ú4Takes up to much space when you'd rather be reading the story, huh?

"Cheza," Kiba sighed as he rose from a short nap; "It's time to go"

Stretching slightly, Cheza clambered to her feet. The others of the group took it as a sign and rose as well.

"Ahhh, Kiba," winded Hige, "we just settled down! Can't we take a break?"

"No, we have to hurry and find paradise."

"But I'm hungry!"

"Hige is right," Blue piped in, "we're all tired and hungry. We need to rest."

"There will be a full moon tonight..." Came the monotone response only to be interrupted by Tsume. "Full moon? When the hell did that become our only sustenance?" He bristled, "You know, I'm getting real sick of you and your damned attitude. Who made you the leader?" As Kiba and Tsume faced each other in a silent battle of wills, Cheza stepped between them.

"We can rest a little longer." She smiled.

"Cheza." Kiba snorted startled.

Turning to him she continued, "I am tired, too. I think I could use a break. Why not stay here until tomorrow?" cajoled the flower maiden.

"Fine, Cheza. We'll stay here until tomorrow." With that Kiba lay down with a plop.

"Humph!" Tsume grumbled as he stormed off, Blue and Hige in tow.

When the others were gone, Kiba turned to Cheza in confusion. "Why?"

"We really could use a rest, you know. And besides, Tsume is hoping for Toboe to show up."

"He is?"

"Yes. He's been checking every town we go into or by. He's really worried." She explained. "Admit it: so are you."

"He'll be waiting for us at paradise."

"You don't know that. What if he needs help? Tsume feels that Toboe won't be at Paradise, so he is looking for him."

"You're right, Cheza. It's just that I so want to get to paradise." Wined the white wolf.

"I know, Kiba." She sighed as she rapped her arms around him.

(A.N.: See? That's why I don't do Kiba and Cheza that totally sucked!)

The fight pits

I really hope that Toboe is up for this, muttered Tala as she watched her young friend enter the fight pit. She had been watching him every day since he came to the pits. So far, he had shown great promise in the practice ring, but she knew that it didn't mean a thing in the real pit. She had tried to help him, in her own way. Sure, she was rude to him, mocked him, and even snapped once or twice, but what else could she do to make him wary? Damn it!! I actually give a crap about that stupid pup! Snarling she raised her voice into a howl, Toboe! If you get hurt, I shall rip you a new one! Idiot!

Glancing up, Toboe could just make out where Tala stood, recouperating from the last fight. Snorthing to himself he thought, Ha! A wolf can beat a dog any day! If only she believed me! he would have continued along these lines, except that it was time for the fight to begin.

"TODAY WE HAVE A SPECIAL TREAT FOR YOU! FROM THE FIGHTING TIGERS, WE HAVE CLAW, A 2 YEAR OLD PIT BULL MIX!" The announcer started as the crowed cheered, "CLAW HAS ONE THE LAST 5 FIGHTS HE HAS BEEN IN AND IS TODAY'S PIT FAVORITE FOR THE MATCH!" at this, many of the spectators ran to the nearest betting table, "AND FACEING CLAW IN TODAY'S MATCH IS AJAX, OF THE SPITTING VIPERS!" Toboe snorted at this. Ajax was the name he had been given in this God forsaken place. He quickly zoned out to the rest of what the announcer was saying in favor of watching his opponent. Claw as defiantly a veteran fighter, his bridled fur was covered in old scars and he was missing half an ear. Toboe snorted in disgust. Claw might have the experience of former fights, but nothing could beat a young wolf in his prime.

Before Toboe had even finished the thought, he was shoved into the ring. Yelping in surprise, he noticed that Claw was already charging. WA!! He yelled as he jumped over the charging Pit bull. Claw, unable to stop, plowed head on into the wall. This didn't deter the scarred killer for long though, spinning at an incredible speed, he charged again, nailing the startled Toboe in the shoulder before spinning away. Why you! Toboe snarled as he charged after the pit bull. With a quick lunge he nailed his hind foot, tripping the beast. They both went down in a flurry of snapping teeth and flailing claws. Quickly Toboe shoved away towards the wall. As Claw scrambled to his feet, Toboe launched off the wall right into him. As our little hero hit he snapped his jaws shut, killing his opponent instantly.

"I CAN'T BELEIEVE IT FOAKS, AJAX WON! THIS IS AN UPSET PEOPLE!....." The announcer started as an exhausted Toboe was lead out of the ring. Glancing back at the body of his former opponent, Toboe sighed. I didn't mean to kill him He thought as he was lead away.

"Let's move out," Kiba called, waking the others. "We must..."

"Yes, we know : 'we must find paradise.' let's just go." Tsume griped as the others headed out.

"Tsume, wait." Kiba called. As Tsume tuned, Kiba whispered, "any word?"

"No."

"We'll find him. Cheza says our paths will cross." Kiba smiled as he walked pass. If he had waited a little longer, he might have seen the slight smile on Tsume's face.

Wow! Toboe, you were awesome! Or should I call you Ajax? Tala yipped.

I don't wanna talk about It.

Why?

I only won because I was a wolf. It was not fair, I'm faster and stronger then him.

Is that all? You won because your GOOD! If your stronger of faster, use it!!

But... Toboe started.

But nothing! If you hadn't won, it would have been you on the ground! You fight to win. And if you lose, you die. If not in the ring, then somewhere else, and I don't want that to happen to you.

Oh.

Now stop trying to look like a human and get some sleep. The double forms are giving me a headache. Tala grumbled as she lay down.

VD
Happy Valentines Day! I got a rose bush from my secret Valentine yesterday! It was a dorm wide thing. Hopeing to get my RA interview later this week. I'm a little worried about that, and this talk I have to lead in women's study today....well heres the next chapter.

Authors Note: HA! Decided to do it before I do the story! I would first off like to thank everyone who reviewed my story so far!

ShadowYamiQueen: When I started the story, there was no Wolf’s Rain section. I just changed it, thanks for the heads up. You’re not a dork.

Zero Wolfwood: Same as above and your review made me smile.

Sorrowful Memory: Toboe is adorable isn’t he?

PsychopathicBendyStraw: There’s actually a plot to Wolf’s Rain?! I thought it was Run run run, fight fight, run run look for paridice......

VENGEANCE CROW: Great is such a useful word....thanks.

hell's bells: Yeay! People like me!

....Looks both ways slightly so I’m a dork....Anyway, I LOVE reviews, it’s what keeps me writing. If I don’t get any, I find it hard to write the next chapter. I’m glad you all like the story so far. If you have a problem with part of it, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. OH, and I know that in the show, ALL animals can talk, but, ummm......I figured Pit Dogs would be a little crazy, so would me less inclined to talk.

Damn! panted Toboe as the handler jabbed him with the pole again trying to provoke a response. ‘What does this have to do with fighting?’ he wondered, thinking back to the fight he had seen a little less then a week ago.

While Toboe was no expert in fighting, he knew skill when he saw it, and Tala had been right; she was one of the best. It had been her against this monster of a dog, and she had him pinned in a matter of minuets. Looking up to where she lounged in the sun, apparently sleeping, he sighed, ‘she’s GOT to be at least part wolf. Even Tsume would have trouble keeping up with her speed....’

AHK! He yelped as the pole slapped across his withers again. Missing by quite a distance, he snapped at it in vain.

“Com’on you mangy mutt! I KNOW you can do better then that! Now TRY!” The handler snarls as the Pole whacked into Toboe’s side.

You know what? You’re never going to get anywhere if you keep giving it a half-ass try. Tala yawned as she stood on the top of her crate. Toboe had been beaten, starved and caged since his arrival, enough to make all but the sweetest of people snap. None of that had any effect on good-natured Toboe, and, as Tala knew, if something didn’t get him to fight, he wouldn’t make it. Jumping down, she came as close as her chain would allow, Now show me what you can do ‘wolf’ Pup, are you a fighter or a pet?

That, more then anything else did it, despite all the abuse he had suffered, being called a ‘pet’ sent him off the deep end (again). Snarling in an actual rage, Toboe Lunged at the handler and reached the Pole out of his hand, snapping it in the process. The handler, for his part, stumbled back, shocked at the sudden change.

Well, Ginned Tala, that’s more like it.

A few days later, in a distant city

Kiba and the others had been traveling for quite a while. Finally reaching a City, the small pack decides to take a much needed rest. (Actually, Cheza found a small garden in the city, and decided to take a nice LONG nap.)

“See you guys later, I’m going for a walk...” Growled Tsume.

“Hang on a sec, we’ll come with you” Hige called as he downed a hotdog.

“NO! I’m going alone.” And with that Tsume just disappeared.

“Well, that’s annoying....Come on, Blue, let’s go look for some more hot dogs.”

A little later, somewhere in the city

Tsume had basically just been wandering around since he left the group, hoping that he would catch a whiff of Toboe. Of course, he was having no luck, until he bumped into one of the local wolves.

“Hey, you!” snapped Tsume, “Have you seen a young wolf around here? Rust colored, with an affinity for humans? His name’s Toboe.”

“Huh?” The wolf frowned; “Yeah, yeah, I’ve seen this Toboe you’re talking about...” he smiled menacingly.

“Where?!” Barked Tsume.

“What’s it to ya?”

“THIS!” roared the normally indifferent gray wolf as he lunged for the stranger. Though the local wolf may very well have been an excellent fighter, he was no match for Tsume. In a matter of minuets the moody gray had pinned his battered opponent to a wall. “NOW, I’m going to ask you this one more time. Where. Did. You. See. Toboe?” he snarled.

“No...nowhere! I swear it!” yelped the stranger, “I was just messin' with ya! Honest! I’ve never seen this Toboe in my life! I’m sorry man!” he babbled on as Tsume tossed him casually aside.

“You basterd...” Tsume muttered under his breath as he walked down the street, kicking his fallen foe along the way.

End of chapter 3

I hope to have the next chapter up soon, folks!

WTF?
What was up with the site yesterday? Man, it was weird.....here's the next chapter to the WR story.
___________________________________
Snorting softly, Tala tried to ignore the whimpering beast in the crate next to her. It had been a long day, and she was sore, tried, and very much ready to kill the miserable beast. ‘It’s one thing to whine and whimper near the fight pits, but for Paradise’s sake, we’ve been on the road for hours! You can’t even smell the city anymore!" Groaning, Tala rolled over onto her side, watching the newest member of the pack of fighting dogs through silted eyelids. Surpassingly, his whining and whimpering made much more sense to her the senseless yammering of the other pit beasts.

Tsume! Kiba! Hige! Blue! Cheza! Help! Please, I don’t want to be here.... I don’t belong here! I belong in Paradise with all the ones I care for! Oh, Grandma...... Finally exhausted, The rust colored pup lay in his cage sobbing.

Are you quite done yet? Tala asked, not bothering to open her eyes. Some of us value sleep you know, and your prattling is not conductive to it.

Sadly, her speech had the opposite effect then she had been hoping for. Instead of shutting up and going to sleep, the youth bolted to the farthest side of the cage and snarled. Sighing and deeply annoyed (all the other dogs always did what she wanted), Tala gracefully rose to face him. Listen you little scamp and listen well! I don’t give a damn as to why you’re here, or from for that matter. But let’s get one thing perfectly clear. You’re in MY world now, so knock off this shit, sit down and shut UP! I AM TRYING TO GET SOME SLEEP!

At this, many of the dogs around her cage woke. It only took them a minuet to figure out whom the bitch’s rage was directed at. Immediately, those closest to Toboe started Snapping and snarling at him. Crying out, he jumped to the middle of his cage and lay down.

<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>

"I don't understand this. Toboe's scent stops at the train tracks..." Hige mutters, "But why would he get on a train, and to where?"

"Can't we follow it?" Blue asks, distraught.

"No," replies Kiba, "It's been too long since the train went by, and we have no clue where it was headed."

"Then what do you propose we do, Kiba?" Whines Hige.

"Keep heading towards Paradise, it's all we can do." Glancing over at Tsume, he continues, "Hopefully Toboe will catch up."

"Tsch," Tsume snorts as he turns away from the tracks. "Stupid pup. When I get my hands on him..."

<<<<<<<>>>>>>

Yawning widely, Tala stretched out. As she rose from a less then perfect night she glanced over at Toboe. She seemed to recall Yelling at him for talking too loud, but that was ridiculous, because, other then she, dogs didn't talk. Toboe for his part just stared at her.

Will you knock that off?

What off? Toboe asked.

The Staring thing! It’s really annoying...... Doing a double take, she stared at him, Hey! You talked! I thought I imagined it last night, but WOW! You actually do talk!

So do you. Toboe responded.

Yeah, well, I’ve always been able to talk. But none of the other dogs do...How come you can?

Snarling in anger over been called a dog (again), Toboe snapped, I am not a DOG!! I’m a WOLF!

Silently, Tala watched him for a few moments before bursting out in laughter. You? A wolf? Ha! There haven’t been any wolves in years, according to my handler, and he’s almost always right.

Now, at this point, Toboe became very confused. After all, the only animals he had ever been able to talk to besides humans were other wolves and wild animals. He had thought, logically, that this female in front of him was a wolf as well. Silently he looked her up and down, taking in her brown-black coat with its milk chocolate markings. ‘She looks like a wolf.... And she smells like one too. Why does she laugh at me then?’ he thought, ‘Surly she can tell I’m a wolf as well.’ But, aren’t you a wolf? He asked, even more confused then before.

Me? No way! I’m half Doberman though. Noticing his crest fallen look, she continued, But, uh, my name, Tala, means wolf. It’s what the old farmer used to call me before he sold me to the pits. What about you?

huh? Toboe stammered, confused for a second. Oh, my name is Toboe, it means Howling. My grandma gave it to me before.....

Before she sold you?

No, he continued softly, before she died.

Oh.....Sorry, an uneasy Tala replied. So.....How did you get here then?

I fell into a trap. He blushed. It was a stupid mistake. Tell me; what is ‘here’ anyway?

Oh...It’s the pits. Literally. She laughed. When Toboe didn’t join in with her in laughter, she continued, You know, the Dog Pits? Pit fighting? Toboe just stared blankly. Oh boy, this is gonna be tough to explain... It’s like this: Two dogs go into this large cage, called a pit, and fight. The last one standing is the winner. Usually they both survive though. Of course there are variations to this, and all the dogs go through intensive training before their first fight, but that’s the general idea. Got it?

Yes....I think so. Will I be expected to fight? He asked, shuttering at the image she had painted for him.

Well..... you’ll need to be trained a bit first, and show you’ve got what it takes to survive. Then you start to go into small fights and learn the ropes. If you get real good, you become a true Pit fighter. She smiled at him, Think you got what it takes to fight with the Big Boys?

Of Course! Toboe snapped, seeing her comment as a slight to his age and size. What about you?

Toboe, I don’t fight with the Big Boys, I rule them. I’m one of the best.

Taking in his new friends small size and weight, Toboe snorted. You? You’re my size! No way you could take on a dog bigger then you! Toboe was even confident that he could take her down. After all, he was a wolf. Hadn’t he fought and killed a giant walrus?

Laugh while you can, ‘wolf’ pup. You won’t be laughing after you see me in action. After all, it’s not the size of the dog that matters, it’s the fight in it. As if agreeing with her, the train Whistle went off. Toboe didn’t realize just how soon he’d get to see his new friend in action.

Authors note: Ok, so that was a corny way to end a chapter, but if I didn’t stop it here, I would have kept going to the end! I hope to get the next chapter up soon. Any ideas are welcome, as are all reviews, positive or negative. Thank you for the reviews people!

hey!
Ok, the RA application is done, just got to hand it in, then the interviews are next week... and I found the first Wolf rain chapter to this story.... so here it is. I'll post the RA stuff tommorow too....
_______________
The sun was bright overhead as the small group trudged ever onward towards paradise. Sighing deeply Blue glanced at the horizon. She had been with the group for some time now, long enough for winter to turn into spring at least. For a while, she had missed the old man, but now she was truly happy with her pack.

“Blue! Come on, or you’ll fall behind!” Toboe shouted waving to get her attention.

Smiling to herself, Blue hurried to catch up with him. The youngest member of the pack, Toboe was full of energy, always getting into trouble and always the first to lag behind. For a while, the pack moved on in silence, with only the occasional grumble about food from Hige. No one noticed at first the large butterfly as it landed on Toboe’s nose. They did, however notice that Toboe had fallen behind. Again.

“Oy! Chibi! Keep up will you?” Hige shouted. “Or are you too young to keep up with the big boys?” He joked.

“I’m old enough!” Toboe snapped, tiered of being teased about his youth.

“Then why are you falling behind Chibi-Toboe?”

“Cheza! Cheza!” Toboe tried to get the flower-girl’s attention, but only was rewarded by a vacant and tolerant smile. He new better to try and get Kiba involved. He would only tell Toboe to keep up, they must find paradise soon. “Tsume? Tsume….”

“No. Hige is right. If you can’t keep up, go back to the humans. A wolf must be able to keep up with its pack.” The scarred wolf grumbled. “Or are you nothing more then a pet dog?” The anger in his voice was almost palatable.

Tsume knew he had gone to far by the look on Toboe’s face. Even Hige looked started by his words, his tone. Hige, who many times had said much the same things, was shocked. He knew he should do something, but being Tsume, he just turned away.

“Tsume…” Toboe whimpered softly. “Fine!” He shouted, his face contorted in anger. “FINE! I’ll find Paradise by on my own! I’ll show you I’m no pet dog!” With that, Toboe Spun away, running as fast as his four legs could carry him.

“Toboe!” Blue made a move to go after him, glareing at Tsume (still pretending he didn’t care).

“Blue. Leave him be. We’ll give him till night fall to cool down.” Cheza sighed. “Right Kiba?”

“Huph” Kiba nodded, settling down.

Toboe kept on running chokeing and crying. He wasn’t awear of just how far he had run. He didn’t even notice the city getting closer. All he could think of was how Tsume had “betrayed” him. He was so caught up in his thoughts he didn’t notice the pit trap until he landed in it. He should have as Kiba had shown him one on their travils.

“AH!” The top of the trap gave way, and Toboe went down in a shower of branches, roots, leaves and dirt. His bracelets snagged on something, as he was falling, slowing him and flipping him. His momentum carried him down farther, pulling them from his arm/leg. “Tsume!” he shouted as he hit the ground, his head connecting with a rock, Knocking him out.

Toboe drifted into consousness again. Everything in front of him was blurred, and his head ached. As his vision begain to fade, he thought he could hear voices.

"Hey, George! I think we caught something"

"What do you know Hedicki, we did. Wonder what kind of dog that is"

"I donno...could be a wolf"

"Ha! As if we'd be that lucky. Wolves have been extint for years"

As Toboe lost consiousness, his last thought was 'Tsume...Help me...'.

It had been a hard fight for Tala, and she was panting heavily as the handler lead her out of the pit. Before they had made it to her cage though, the owner called out to him. “Tony! Come look at this one!”

As the two humans talked to another man, Tala glanced down at the dog cowering at their feet. What a whimp she yawned, And your spossed to be a fighter? You look more like Bait to me! she laughed.

You...You can talk? the small rust colored dog whined.

“Tala, comeon, girl.” The handler clucked as he pulled Tala away. “That was a good fight today girl. You’re such a good dog!”

Duh!

Tsume ranged ahead of the others. It had been almost a day, and still Toboe had not come back. “Most likely the runts gone and got himself in trouble,” grumbled Tsume as he ran on, folowing the signs Toboe had left. Before long, he came to a hole in the ground, which the young wolf’s tracks ran strait to. “The idiot didn’t watch were he he was going... OVER HERE!” he shouted to the others.

“You found him?”

“Yeah, looks like it. The stupid runt fell in a hole.” Tsume sighed, “Hey Toboe, you ok down there?” Only silence answered him. Getting annoyed he continued, “I didn’t mean what I said, you idiot, it was a joke. I’m sorry, ok?” Still there was no response. “Fine! I’m coming down!”

Jumping into the pit, Tsume noticed it was empty. Confused, the gray sniffed around for any sign of his friend, knowing that Toboe had been here. As he paced around, his paw hit something. Looking down, he saw Toboe’s bracelets, slightly bloodied at his feet.

“He down there?” called Hige.

“No,” Growled Tsume, jumping out of the pit, “But he was...” he showed the others the bracelets.”

“Guys!” cried Blue, “I found tire tracks!”

As the others came over, they could smell their young friend around the tracks, “You think Toboe is with them?” asked Kiba.

“Probily. Well kiba, do we go on, or do we look for the little idiot?” Tsume growled, seemingly annoyed at Toboe.

Despite this, the white wolf knew that Tsume was a little worried, as was he. “We should Probably go get him,” he sighed, “It shouldn’t take long.” With that, the pack of wolves raced after the tacks.
