PLEASE READ! IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Okay so this idea has been floating around in my head for a while and it won't leave me alone so I'm going to write it down. It is based off the anime and sort of follows it with the exception of my OC. I will be adding scenes and such to develop my character. Also there will be at least mild yaoi if not an actual lemon so if you don't like it don't read it! The pairings are KibaxOC TsumexToboe and HigexBlue. I won't really be focusing on the other two pairings much but they will at least be mentioned. I will be writing all the way through the anime all the way until episode thirty so get ready for a long ride. The chapters will focus solely on Kiba and my OC. That means if the scene doesn't have Kiba in it I won't be mentioning it so if you get lost watch those episodes in the anime. Also I am basing all the dialog off the English dubbed version of the anime. If you want specifics for surroundings or certain fights you can watch that to get a better idea although if you're reading this chances are you already have. Well I guess that's it… Reviews are welcome and very much appreciated. If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them.
Slowly I trailed behind the white wolf. The one chosen by the flowers to protect the precious Flower Maiden that would open the doors of Paradise. Kiba.
I had been following him for a period of months. My duty was not unlike his own. However, instead of the Flower Maiden, I am charged with protecting him for he too is needed for the Gates to open. Just as he is driven by no tangible force to find and protect the Flower Maiden, I am driven to protect him for no reason I can fathom. I had never met him when I set off to find him. We still haven't spoken.
He knows I'm following him but he also knows I wont hurt him. The only time's he has seen me are when he has been overwhelmed in a fight. Even then it is only for a short time. As soon as he is safe again I give him space. He doesn't seem to really mind.
The reason I don't just travel with him is because I think it is easier on him this way. I don't speak for reasons I'd rather not discuss and my distance allows him to make decisions on his own without my interference.
A sound carried back to me by the wind catches my attention. A gunshot. I sprint to where Kiba was fending off a large black dog while a man shot at him. Kiba was bleeding on his left hind leg where a bullet grazed him.
I charged in and knocked the black dog off him. It turned and bit into my right shoulder. I snarled and grabbed its scruff and threw it at the man who was trying to reload. They fell and gave us both a chance to escape.
Kiba turned to look at me but I had already disappeared from his view. He looked around for a minute, sniffed the air, and then turned back in the direction he was going before he was attacked. I followed at a safe distance. We were both slowed by our injuries but we made it to a domed city by sundown.
Kiba found a tree in what looked to be a deserted part of town and laid down under it. I jumped into the branches above him and made sure he was asleep before I headed out to confirm my suspicions of other wolves. I found a dark brown pup with some kind of bracelet on his right front paw hiding in an alley way, a lighter brown with a collar with a metal plate on it stealing food on a market street, and a dark gray with an 'X' shaped scar on his chest in an old abandoned building.
All the while I was searching the city I couldn't help but notice a faint scent coming from the center of the city…. Lunar flowers. The Flower Maiden is near.
I returned to where Kiba was sleeping but not before noticing the man and dog from earlier. The man was entering a bar. How troublesome… I wonder how long that man will pursue us. I left before the dog could notice me. Returning to the tree I found Kiba still sound asleep under the tree and no one in sight. Settling onto a branch high enough that no one would notice me I fell into a light resting state.
I woke midday to a gathering crowd of young men at the base of the tree. Kiba was still in the base, no doubt awake, waiting to see what the humans would do. They were talking about him, marveling at his size and wondering if they could eat or sell him. To be honest I wanted to jump down and kill them all for speaking in such a manner but I held my position.
Then the gray wolf with the scar walked through them. I heard someone call him Tsume. As soon as he saw Kiba his eyes widened.
"That is not a dog. Pull him out of there." Tsume told the two closest men.
As soon as they reached for him Kiba sprang to life. He killed the one easily. The other shot his crossbow at him. He missed and Kiba was at his throat before the poor bastard knew what hit him. Kiba released his throat as he snarled at a boy who looked like he did or was going to piss his pants.
Tsume punched the boy and he went flying out of the way. Kiba and Tsume locked eyes.
"How interesting," Tsume smirked before turning and running off with Kiba at his heels.
The boy recovered from where he had landed and he got up and ran after the two. I too followed, still remaining in the shadows. I overtook the boy and spotted Kiba and Tsume on a building top. I hid behind a block of cement and watched them face off.
"That was quite a stunt," Tsume said, looking none too happy.
"I was protecting myself, that's all," Kiba growled.
"Don't be so quick to kill."
"What's wrong with killing?"
"I don't know what mountain you came down from but you're in the city now, there are rules."
"Rules? Is running around the city with a pack of idiots one of the rules?"
"I'm only using 'em."
"Your rules stink like this city. What's the point of living if it means throwing away your pride?"
"You got a big mouth for someone half dead." Tsume snarled, his human fangs elongating.
Kiba only snarled in response. They jumped at each other. They met and blood spattered onto the concrete. They continued to fight but neither could really get the other.
The boy finally caught up and as he topped the staircase he saw Tsume's wolf form by the look on his face. He shook his head and looked to the fight again just in time to see Kiba knock Tsume down and bite down on one of the knives Tsume used. Tsume kicked the wound on Kiba's hind leg and pushed him off.
Tsume was still on the ground as Kiba started to advance. The boy chose that moment to run in and start swinging that orange stick thing he carried. Kiba dodged easily and backed off. He gave Tsume one last look before leaving.
I watched the boy turn to Tsume. He reached out to wipe the blood off Tsume's face until Tsume yelled at him. They talked for a minute before Tsume left.
I found Kiba getting a drink from something that resembled a fountain. He then walked off into the city favoring his hind leg. I followed along the roof tops.
Suddenly I smelled gunpowder. About twenty feet from Kiba was that damned drunkard and his dog. He cocked his rifle and Kiba turned around, baring his fangs. The dog charged and I had just enough time to jump down in front of Kiba before the old man fired.
The bullet went through my left side and out the right and into Kiba. We both collapsed. I tried to get up but my vision blurred and I blacked out.
When I came to I was in a steel cage. My body hurt and my head was still swimming from the blood loss. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. I was in a building of some kind with nothing particularly special about the room I was in. As I looked to my right I found Kiba in another cage identical to mine. I then examined my gunshot wound. It didn't look too bad but there was a lot of blood staining my moon silver fur. When I lifted my head he opened his eyes to look at me.
"I don't know who you are or why you're following me but… thank you… you've saved me several times now."
I nodded in response.
"I'm Kiba by the way, I don't know if you already knew that or not."
I nodded again.
"Are you going to talk?"
I shook my head no.
"Not even to tell me your name?"
I shook my head. He sighed.
"Fine, whatever. You don't mind if I call you Gin then do you?"
I shook my head once more.
He closed his eyes again and before long he was asleep again. While he was asleep I picked the lock to my cage. Before I could get Kiba out I heard someone approaching. I hid in the corner of the room.
The lighter brown wolf with the collar entered the room and stood in front of Kiba's cage. Kiba opened his eyes.
Before either could do anything a woman and a man entered the room.
"Hey what are you doing? What department are you with?…And what happened to that other dog?" The man questioned.
The brown wolf turned around.
"Oh sorry, I was looking for cleaning supplies, I guess I musta got lost… and what other dog? He's the only one I saw." The brown wolf lied smoothly.
"Never mind, just go out through that door supplies are on the right." The man said pointing to a door on the right side of the room.
"Oh are they? Thanks!" The wolf hurried out of the room. I had no doubt he would be back if the humans didn't take Kiba with them.
The woman walked up to the front of Kiba's cage and bent over to get a better look.
"So do you think it's really a wolf?" The man asked.
"I don't know, I've never seen a real one before. But if it is a wolf it may be what's causing this sudden reaction in Cheza."
"Oh please, not Cheza again."
"What's that mean?"
"It's because of her you and I broke up."
"Stop acting like an idiot Hubb and bring this up to the lab"
"I'll have someone do it later. Dogs and I don't get along all that well. I'm kind of allergic to them."
The woman sighed. "This is the reason you and I would never work."
"I don't know, maybe it is just a matter of time."
They both left and just as I was about to move and help Kiba escape the brown wolf showed up again. He squatted in front of Kiba's cage smiling a soft friendly smile.
"Man you really screwed up." Kiba didn't react. The wolf, in his human form, rested his head on his hand. "I mean I've seen one of us get caught before but never this badly."
Kiba cracked an eye open. "I can get out of here whenever I feel like it."
"Uh huh, so then why are you in there?"
"I just… needed a place to rest for a while, that's all."
The brown wolf laughed softly. "I'm Hige, it's nice to meet ya."
"So why are you in here anyway?"
"No reason, it smelled like something interesting was gunna happen so I just followed my nose… ya know? Besides I got no where else to go."
"That's not your true form. Why do you hide yourself?"
"So I don't end up where you are. These people are terrified of us so, ya know, if we look like them they pretty much leave us alone."
Kiba snarled. "Living a lie, just so you can die a miserable death in this city."
"Gotta do what you can to survive, right? Keep looking like that and you'll be back here in no time. It draws too much attention."
Kiba rose to his feet still snarling. "Have you given up your pride as a wolf?"
Hige was surprised but recovered quickly. "You're a strange one alright, but having pride doesn't count for much if you're dead, ya know?"
Now it was Kiba's turn to be surprised. Before anything else could happen a siren went off. Kiba took the opportunity with all the chaos to break out of the cage. His jaws were really something, even able to bend steel bars.
Kiba slipped out of the cage and took his human form for the first time. He and Hige left the room. I followed shortly after. Kiba was still limping but he didn't look as bad anymore. I followed them out the front doors with out incident. Except the guy, Hubb, noticed them on their way out but it was okay since he didn't know they were wolves.
A man came running out and right up to Hubb.
"Sir, that big dog, it disappeared!"
"What?"
Hubb and that woman ran into the building after the man who had reported Kiba missing. Mean while Kiba and Hige were already half way down the front steps.
Kiba followed Hige to yet another abandoned part of the city. They laid there quietly while Kiba's wounds slowly healed by the moonlight. They stayed like that for a few hours. Eventually Hige broke the silence.
"Your wounds, have they healed?"
"Yeah, after all it's a full moon tonight."
"So why'd you come to this crummy town anyway?"
"I smelled something, the scent of lunar flower. It's here, in this city."
"Yeah, I know. My nose can tell when a dog's taking a dump ten kilometers away."
"Yeah? That must really stink."
"Sure does!"
And Kiba smiled for the first time in a long time. It surprised Hige at first but then he only smiled bigger.
"So why did you escape with me?"
"Oh I don't know, I just felt like it I guess. Besides you seem kind of interesting. So what's next? Where you headed?"
"To Paradise…there isn't any moonlight in this place."
"Paradise huh? That sounds like fun."
"My name is… Kiba."
Okay… that's the first chapter… not much differences yet and there probably won't be until they leave the city. In keeping with the theme that all the wolves' names mean something I named my OC Gin which means silver so… yeah… Again reviews are very much appreciated and I do read them and try to follow the advice.
