The pack ran. "Hurry up, Clover! They'll catch us!" The speaker was Bone, a black and white wolf male-wolf with silvery blue eyes, the leader of the pack. Soul, a white wolf with bright red eyes, huffed and gathered speed.

"Shut up! I'm pregnant ya know!" Clover was a white she-wolf with aqua blue eyes- she isn't blind though. The wolf next to her, Night, a brown male-wolf with pine green eyes, looked at her with worry. "I'm okay, Night." She nosed Night affectionately.

"Boss," Thorn, a russet male-wolf with light gray eyes, looked at Bone. "Why're we still running? The humans stopped way back there and Death is getting tired!" Death was a black male-wolf with pitch-black eyes.

Bone stopped and Clover flopped on her side, her pink tongue out. "Boss, ya got to stop runnin' so fast! Clover's pups are expected any freakin' day now!" Death let out a low growl, and layed next to Clover. "You okay, clover?"

"Jeez! Baka! Just 'cause I'm expecting doesn't mean you have to freak over me!" She yawned and was asleep, Night following shortly after.

"Get some sleep, guys," Bone said. "It's going to be a long day tomorrow." He looked at the meat they'd stolen and sighed. Thorn, Soul and Death fell asleep together. "Night, guys." He dug a hole in the shadows of a pine and put the meat there, covering it and laying over it. He fell asleep.

"Sister! Sister! Wait! Don't go! SISTER!!" Bone jolted awake, his fur hot. "It was just a dream, just a dream." He calmed himself down, and made his hackles lay flat. 'Yuki... Sister... Where could you possibly be? Not with that traitor Aren, I hope...' He shook his coat out.

"Boss?" Thorn looked at him.

"What, Thorn?" Thorn looked at the spot where Clover and Death had layed. "What? Where are they?! Don't tell me Clover's expecting now?!"

"Yeah, boss, she is. Soul went with them." Bone, Thorn and Death followed Soul's scent trail and heard the whimpering of at least three pups. "Two more for our pack!" Thorn looked in, but pulled his head out. "Soul and Night's in there." Night and Soul come out.

"What's the meaning of not telling me?!" Bone snarled at Night.

"Shut up, boss! There's a beautiful silver coated she-wolf with red tipped ears and the ends of her fur is red-tipped. She has alluring pale blue eyes." Soul sighed. "It's not like I'm going to get here- she said she's looking for someone."

'Could it be...? Yuki? Only mother had the same coat but she's in Canada. This is North America- near the ocean. How'd she find us?' Bone thought, pushing past Death, Thorn and Soul to enter the cave. A silver coated wolf with red tipped ears and fur ends growled at him to stay back.

"Clover doesn't want to-" She cut-off as she got a closer view of Bone "Brother?! Your alive? Aren told me you were dead!" She went outside with him.

"Boss? You know her?" Soul asked, both Death and Thorn listening in interest.

"Yeah, she's my older sister, Yuki." He looked at her.

"Older sister? Onee-chan to you pup!" Yuki scolded him, a playful glint in her pale blue eyes.

"Right, onee-chan!" Bone let out a playful growl. "Let's see how good my onee-chan is at fighting now." Yuki leapt at him, almost pinning him down, but he squirmed out from under her. "Always the same attack, pin down and laugh in their face." Bone laughed.

Yuki sized him up. "Still as scrawny as ever, otouto!" Bone fluffed out his fur. "Haha! Just as stubborn as before! I know! Winner gets to be the alpha of this pack! I can see you don't yet have one! Maybe I'll be the alpha female!"

"Your on, onee-chan!" He jumped at her. "Whoever does anything that show's their in pain first, loses!" He got his teeth around her leg. She stifled a whimper, and clamped her jaws around his big, bushy white-tipped black tail.

Death, Soul, and Thorn watched, making sure that they were playing fair, and listening and watching for any sign of pain in their faces. Soul sighed and got up. "That baka left our meat!" Death glanced at him, and took off to get it, Soul following him in case he needed help. Thorn keep watching them.

Yuki had Bone's right ear in her teeth and Bone had her silver red-tipped tail in his mouth. "Give up, onee-chan?" His words came out muffled by the fur in his mouth.

"Never!" The words sounded, loud and strong, in his ear. He let go and attempted to get his sister's mouth off his ear when he heard several sharp snarls and whimpers of pain. Yuki let go. "Death and Thorn went to get the meat you left, otouto!" Bone's silvery-blue eyes widened and he took off running, Yuki following, with Thorn at her heels.

When they got there, Soul and Death were surrounded by a group of six skinny wolves, and their fangs were bared, sharp and yellow. A gray wolf with a limp snapped at Soul. "Give us the meat, pup!" Snarls come out from the wolves. The gray wolf obviously their leader.

"Over our dead bodies!" Both Death and Thorn snarled back, lashing out at them. They were standing over the place where Bone had buried the meat. They were backed up the tree it was buried under and surrounded by the scavengers.

"Then dead you shall be." With a flick of his tail, two brown wolves leapt at Soul and Death, wrestling with them. "Get the meat!" Soul snapped at the neck of the one was on him, making it flinch and back up. Death was having more trouble- him being the oldest member of the back- 5 years old.

Soul lashed out, and, hearing something like a bone break, looked at the one he was fighting. It was dead with Bone standing over it. "Boss!" Death snarled as the one he was fighting fastened its teeth in his neck. "Get off!!" He put his back paws on its belly and shoved it off him. It hit the ground and got up slowly.

The gray wolf with a limp leapt at Bone, pinning him down. "Pup, you'll wish you were never born!" His breath smelled of death and rotten meat.

"You'll die first, father!" Bone growled out, recognizing his dad, even his poor state. He did the same thing Death did and his father hit the ground, and didn't get up. "Pathetic. Father can't even protect himself- letting mother leave, too." The remaining wolves, only four now, turned tail and ran.

"Everyone okay? No serious injuries?" Death's scruff was bleeding alittle and Soul had a sprained paw. Bone dug up the meat. "I thought we only stole sausages? Why are there two slabs of raw meat?" Soul limped over to check.

"Thats mine." A new voice sounded. Death ignored it and ran back to the den with Yuki to check on Clover and Night. A blue-gray wolf with a chocolate brown eyes steps out from the shadows. "Didn't know who's it was so I just put my meat with it, sorry." He attempted to retrieve his meat but, with a low growl, Bone stopped him.

"I don't think so, pup." He said. "This meat's ours, it's on our sausages, so it's ours." The wolf smirked.
