"Speaking"
Evening in the City, the Scent of Blood
The streets where dimly lit from the light that escaped the houses and stores. Every few minutes a car would roll by, causing puddles to splash onto the cracked sidewalks. For a large city such as this one, not many people were out that night.
Toboe felt insecure about the lack of humans around. He walked behind Tsume with tense shoulders. "Why do you suppose there aren't a lot of people out...?"
Hige shrugged, hands resting behind his head. "Ah-I dunno..." His lips curled into a smirk. "Maybe it's full of killers, and the humans stay indoors for their own protection."
Tsume rolled his eyes at the behavior of the two. "Cut the crap, Hige. This city is not full of killers. It's late at night, they're probably all in bed!" Hige shot a glare at Tsume. He always ruined the fun.
Toboe gave a sigh of relief. He felt like he could trust Tsume, almost like a father. Hige, on the other hand, always picked on him. Even though Toboe knew he couldn't be trusted, he believed what he said most of the time anyway.
Kiba was meanwhile concentrating on where they were going. This city seemed to give him a strange feeling. An unusual stench lingered in the air ever since they got there. And he surely wasn't going to ignore it and put everyone in danger.
"Hey, can we stop for food now?" Hige whined as he caught up with Kiba in the front.
"We don't have any money. Maybe theres a forest outside the city. We can catch something there." Kiba gave a straight forward answer, and Hige gave a dissapointed look and slowed down to the others.
Toboe also felt hungry, but didn't talk about it. He didn't want to be a burden anymore, so he didn't bother them when it wasn't really important. 'I can wait...like Kiba said, we'll catch something when we're out of here...'
Hige's hands fell back to his sides as he stopped in his tracks. He tilted his head towards the sky, smelling something. "...Hey, do you guys smell that? Smells like fresh meat..."
"Do you have a one track mind, or what?" Tsume growled at Hige, before Kiba stepped between the two.
"No, he's right...something does smell like meat..." Everyone fell silent and sniffed the air. Kiba's eyebrows furrowed, trying to piece together all of the scents to figure out what it was. Once his mind registered the smell, his eyes widened and he turned to the others. "...And blood."
They all began running towards the scent, curious of what the blood could be coming from. They weren't running for long, before they came across an alleyway that wreaked with the smell. They turned into it, and found that the alleyway was very long, before it turned to the left. When they got to the corner of it, Hige had to cover his nose.
"Oh man, the stench is so heavy..." He stumbled as he continued to run, his lungs starting hurt.
Kiba was ignoring whatever complaints the others had, determined to find the source of the blood. He had figured out a while ago that it wasn't just any blood. It was wolf blood.
A dead wolf body suddenly flew at Tsume, him dodging it. "What the hell?!" They got closer, and saw two eyes glowing through the shadows. They could hear the heavy breathing. The two eyes glared at them all, until the body collapsed, and the panting ceased.
"W-what happened?!" Fear was dripping from every word Toboe spoke, as he looked around in shock. There were dead bodies everywhere. Elders, adult, even pups. All seemed to be dead.
Kiba's eyes narrowed as he kneeled down to the wolf that had recently fallen. "A pack fight..." He placed his hand on the wolf, looked closer, and discovered that it was only a little older than Toboe. He then glanced back to the others. "Check the bodies. Make sure none of them are alive."
Hige and Toboe nodded and began searching, while Tsume just crossed his arms. "And what if there is a survivor? We already have trouble finding enough food for ourselves!"
Kiba glared and stood up, facing Tsume. "We have no choice but to help them! They're our kind, and I'm not going to leave them out here to die like this."
They both exchanged glares until Hige interrupted them.
He winced as he flipped over the bodies. "I-...I came across the pups..." Lying infront of him were five small wolves, all huddled together, looking as if they were trying to comfort eachother before they died. This caught Toboe's attention, and he walked over, stepping over bodies on the way.
"They-They're younger than me..." Toboe touched one of the pups, and felt no warmth at all. A chill ran down his spin, making him shiver.
"They're a lot younger than you." Hige observed, as he went through them all. Kiba and Tsume stopped their arguing and walked over, watching Hige grimace as he picked them up. He looked into the bloodied face of one. "This one is the smallest...it's a little female, too."
"I guess she's dead too, huh...?" Toboe's eyes were full of sadness, feeling the pain of the small pups.
Hige placed her back down on the ground. "Yeah..." He stood up, and looked at Kiba. "Doesn't look like there are any survivors..."
Tsume growled and turned around. "Good. We don't need anyone else coming with us." Kiba shot another glare at Tsume, tired of his attitude.
A small whimper instantly broke the silence that was between them.
