Chapter One
Part One
Na na
na na na na na
The day he died, so did I. When we found him, it was too painful to even fathom. They went on and they understood, I don't think that they really did but it didn't matter. I was with him and now I could tell him what I had wanted to for so long. After you died I lost my will to go on this stupid quest for paradise, but I knew that you would be there when we reached it so I kept going. For a while I tried to banish it but that hurt worse, so I survived by opening up instead of closing up and I told you the truth of everything.
I miss you
I miss you so bad
I don't forget you
Oh it's so sad
I know that he's in paradise, I believe that it's true. And if it isn't then the Gods created it for him when he died, because he deserved it. For a long time I couldn't figure out why he had been torn from us, from me. I can still remember that blank expression on your face and how cold you were. It haunts me
I hope you can hear me
Cause I remember it clearly
Then I realized it. This world didn't deserve him, he was too good for it. This shit hole was even worse compared to him. He was light and the world was dark. Sometimes now as I am walking I can hear him whispering to me, telling me crazy things, telling me that he would meet us in paradise. I wouldn't tell anyone they would think that I was going crazy with depression. For all I know I am hearing things that aren't there...but this is different, I know he's there. I feel him and he comforts me.
The day you slipped away
was the day
I found it wont be the same
Oh
Na na
na na na na na
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
I hope you can hear me
Cause I remember it clearly
I had a vision of you while I was walking to catch up with the others, you didn't die and you and I went off and found paradise. It was criminal that I had to hear the screaming and leave you again. And as I jumped up the mountain, I could hear you crying.
The day you slipped away
was the day
I found it wont be the same
Oh
For a while I couldn't figure out why I had heard you crying. Then I reached the top of the damned mountain. And found Hige and Blue. Putting him down was one of the hardest things I had ever done. I sent him to be with you and was almost jealous of him. Cheza's scream echoed in my ears and I ran on.
I've had my wake up
Wont you wake up
I keep asking why
I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened you passed by.
Now as the blood leaves my body I look back at what just happened, it was all kinda fuzzy. Darcia..the damn rock..Cheza...Kiba....I told him to go. Because I know that I am dying. There's only two things I have to do and then I can go. For Hige; "Let's meet again...next time..in paradise"
For Toboe; With the last bit of my strength, I howled to him and somewhere deep in me, he howled too.
Now your gone
Now your gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now your gone
Now your gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere your not coming back
The day you slipped away
was the day
I found it wont be the same
Oh
Na na
na na na na na
I miss you
3rd Prsn POV
"Tsume!"
Tsume shook his head and looked around, groaning softly he stood up. His small gang looked back at him, worried expressions on their faces.
"Tsume you were having another nightmare!" Kado said worriedly.
"No, I'm just a rough sleeper that's all," Tsume replied standing up to stretch, he cracked his neck loudly and Kado wrinkled her nose, he did it again just to spite her.
He left the apartment building and jumped onto his red motorcycle, grinning as in started. He took off the rain falling as he wove through traffic. He ran a red light and turned a sharp corner into an alley almost hitting someone.
"Hey! Watch where your going pal!"
Tsume slammed on the brakes and turned around, he knew that voice.
"Hige?"
Chapter One
Part Two
Toboe walked down the street sheltering his new kitten on the inside of his jacket. It was colder today than it was the day before, but it didn't really bother him. He came up on the abandoned apartment building that he called home. Walking in he took the steps up to the third floor and then walked into a room at the end of the hall. No one else lived here because it wasn't suitable for anyone else. The room was a ten by eleven square, no bathroom or kitchen, no running water or thermostat, but he liked it that way. Toboe walked over the old sofa that was covered in old clothes and random old blankets and pillows and set down the kitten. In the other corner there was a large bowl that was by the window, a crude rectangular shaped hole in the wall about three feet off the ground, when he placed a piece of pipe in the mechanism he created, rain water would fall into the bowl.
He smiled at the tree that gave him his means of life, apples in the fall and spring, and squirrels all year round, he didn't really like squirrels, but he made due with what he had, sometimes, when he was hunting at night he would find rats in the alleys, he brought those back to the kittens he saved, mostly alive to teach them to hunt for themselves. For himself he would go to Central Park and find rabbits or gophers, and anything else that was there.
He grinned agian, he would go hunting tonight, but for a differnt reason, this kitten was still young, he would have to go to the park and get one of the cats he had raised to watch out for her.
But also to steal, he hated to do it, but sometimes he had to. Winter was comming and the few blankets he had wouldn't be enough, he would have to make them into curtians to keep out the freezing cold wind, he didn't really need them, but while raizing the kitten's he stayed in human form, even though they knew full well he was a wolf. Through his illusion he could still get cold, so the blankets he had to take.
Chapter One
Part Three
Hige spun around at the sound of his name being called and gasped at the sight he beheld. Stuned speachless he stared at Tsume, who had ripped his helmet off and was staring at him with the same bewildered look on his face. Hige watched as Tsume walked towards him then stopped about two yards away and survied him. They stared at each other for a moment longer before, through unspoken agreement, Tsume reached out moved some fabric away from the side of Hige's neck. There above his collar bone was a scar in the outline of Tsume's mouth. Tsume's hand lingered there on that spot for a moment before he quickly retracted it.
"I missed you Tsume," Hige whispered.
"I missed you to," Tsume replied then quickly added,"Porky."
Hige just sighed and then laughed. Tsume's face went suddenly serious and he looked Hige right in the eye.
"Do you know where.." he broke off he couldn't bring himself to finish the sentance.
"I can tell you where to find Kiba and Cheza, and Blue stayes with me, but if your looking for Toboe, your on your own, even Cheza doesn't know where he is," Hige replied to his unfinished question.
Tsume nodded and turned to face his bike with a grin he got on it and reved the engine.
"Meet me in Central Park at moon rise, bring Kiba, Blue and Cheza."
