Hi! This is my first fanfic, so please review! Sorry it's so short.

Chapter 1: Can't Be Dead

"Toboe!" Tsume ran to where the pup and the old man lay together. No. It was not possible. The runt couldn't die. It just couldn't happen. He would not believe it.

He could hear Kiba, Cheza, Blue, Hige, and Hubb behind him, but they did not matter. Nothing did, no one did, if the runt was dead. What was the point of going on if Toboe was dead?

Tsume knelt beside Toboe, unable to look at him, at the great gaping hole in his side, at the frozen blood that matted his soft, light brown fur.

They all stayed there for a while, mourning the death of the youngest of the pack, but the need to hunt Darcia down was getting too strong. Finally Kiba said softly, "It's time to go." Hige, Blue, Cheza and Hubb silently agreed, but Tsume said, "You go ahead. I'm gonna stay here for a minute. I'll catch up." When they hesitated, Tsume growled, "Just go! I'll be there in a minute!" Silently, Kiba nodded and the pack left.

So? How is it? Review please!
