Hello everyone, Dfire here with my very first production for the incredible series Wolf's Rain! This series is all about celebrating the amazing show, from the search to Paradise to the interactions between characters… Basically all aspects of the series. Ideas are not just welcomed, but also encouraged. Feel free to leave a prompt or thing you would like to see :)

Spoilers: None; set early on in series

Toboe couldn't help but wonder… Could cats make it to Paradise, too?

He sat in the grimy back alley of a small, ramshackle city, gently stroking one of the little feline balls of fur. The cat had mewed and hissed at the scent of wolf, but had eventually relented to the temptation of a nice scratch behind the ears and being spoiled.

Their small, ragtag group had decided to rest for a while in the city, all of them splitting up to do their individual… well, whatever the others did. Toboe honestly didn't know… What did Kiba and Tsume really do in the city? They seemed far too serious to go and have fun. Hunt, perhaps? Ask around for news of Paradise? He sighs. Of course Paradise was important, but it was important to relax sometimes.

The cat meows in protest as the warm hand ceases to caress its shorthaired, mottled gray coat. Toboe blinks, murmuring a soft apology before hearing a summoning howl. They are done with this city; it is time to move on. He sighs, giving the fluffy head a quick pat before setting down a generous amount of meat for the cat as he stands, ready to run for the call and continue on the quest. He looks back at the cat, busily munching on a strip of dried meat. It meets his gaze for a grateful instant before hungrily returning to its first meal in a long time. Toboe nods in thanks before rushing off to find the others.

He sure hoped that they went to Paradise. Maybe he would have to ask Kiba if cats could live with the humans and wolves in that one, special place.

How is it? Please R&R, and definitely feel free to give me ideas for upcoming chapters. Your help is very much appreciated!

Until next time,
