Part 1

The wolves had been traveling for about a week when they finally reached a grassy valley. (It just dips into the ground, not exactly a big one.) Toboe was the first to dash down to a stream that led to a pond in the center. He splashed water on his face as the others ran down to join him. Kiba looked around, observing their surroundings. There was a partly covered cave in the hill they were just on. Tsume strode up the other hill and saw all forest, which was where the stream came from. He came back down and took a drink from the stream.

"This place seems relaxing," Hige said.

"Yeah, can we stay, Kiba?" Toboe asked. Kiba gave them a slight frown. It'd be nice to stay…But Cheza…

"Well, I don't know…" Kiba began.

"We have to wait up for Blue, anyways," Hige yawned. Kiba looked at Tsume.

"What do you think, Tsume?" he asked him. Do you want to stay for awhile?" Tsume smirked. He's asking my opinion? "Either suits me," he said carelessly. "A rest would be nice, though." Kiba fumed. Blue would want us to wait somewhere safe for her. Besides, we do need a rest. "Fine. We'll wait for Blue here, then she can leave with us." Hige and Toboe gave leaps of joy. Tsume smiled weakly and looked around.

"There are woods over there some," he told them, pointing in the direction of the trees, "Two of us should go and check it out."

"I'll go!" Hige exclaimed. Great opportunity to get me a rabbit!

"Me too," Kiba stated. "You and Toboe can go look at that cave, Tsume. We should be back within an hour at most." Tsume nodded and pulled Toboe up by the collar of his shirt. Hige and Kiba went towards the woods as Toboe and Tsume went in the other direction.

Tsume yanked out the weeds and grass that covered the cave's entrance. It was an empty cave, big enough for an entire wolf pack, almost like a den. Toboe walked around in it. "Wow," he muttered. His voice almost echoed. Tsume went out to find a boulder or two to put in it as furniture of some sort. He found one and rolled it in. Toboe sat on it and yawned. "How long do you think we've been traveling, Tsume?" Tsume leaned against the rock and crossed his arms.

"A week, maybe."

Toboe began humming, then

Thought about something Hige brought up a few days ago. "Uh, Tsume?"

"What?"

"Well…What's it mean when…a girl's in heat?" Tsume's eyes widened and he stared straight ahead. Ah shit, he heard Hige the other night..."Why?"

"Well, 'cause Hige was saying how girl's be in heat and sometimes guys, and I just wanna know what it all means…" Tsume gave Toboe a puzzled look. Should I really tell him? He's just a pup after all...He cleared his throat. "You sure you wanna know?" Toboe nodded eagerly. Tsume sighed.


"Hige?" Kiba looked in bushes and up trees, but still couldn't find the orange wolf. I think he's orange, at least. Kiba frowned until he heard twigs snap. He whipped around as Hige leaped on him in wolf form and pinned Kiba to the ground in human form. "Ha! Did I scare ya?" Hige laughed. Kiba shoved him off him.

"That wasn't funny, Hige!" he snarled. Hige waved his hands in front of him in defense.

"Sorry, Kiba. I was just joking. Didn't mean to scare you that much." Kiba frowned again and turned away.

"I wasn't scared," he muttered. "Just startled." The two searched around some more until they got tired and sat by a big tree to relax. Kiba stared up at the sky as Hige climbed on a low branch. "Do you think we should get back to Toboe and Tsume?" Kiba asked.

"Nah," Hige replied, closing his eyes. "Tsume won't kill Toboe yet. We have about forty more minutes until we really have to get back." Kiba looked at Hige resting on the branch and got an idea…

(A bit later..)

Hige yawned and looked around. Kiba wasn't in sight and everything was quiet. Too quiet..."Kiba? Are you out there somewhere?" Silence…Then- "Ahh!" Kiba leapt on Hige and they both fell onto the ground. They rolled away from the trees and by a bush, Kiba on top of Hige, holding him down by the shoulders. They were both laughing, but soon stopped.

Kiba noticed how close their faces were and blushed slightly. His knee was also in between Hige's legs, touching his manhood a little. Hige soon noticed, too, and a feeling of pleasure started in his groin and spread. He blushed and looked up at Kiba's blue eyes. Kiba leaned in until his lips were touching Hige's. They kissed each other softly and broke it off quickly. Kiba quickly got off Hige. What was that about? Hige sat up and looked at the ground. That was…What the hell? Why did Kiba kiss me like that? And why did I kiss back?!


Toboe stared at the ground, his mouth hanging open slightly. Tsume gave a chuckle and pat the pup on the head. Toboe blushed deeply. "So, uh, is that everything I need to know, Tsume?" he asked timidly.

"Just about. For now at least."

"Oh…Will you teach me more later?" Tsume stretched and nodded. Toboe's gaze shifted from the ground, to Tsume, and back to the ground. That's why I have such weird dreams about other wolves and fell all weird down there. But how come my dreams all include Tsume?

"Uh, Tsume?"

"What is it now?" Tsume yawned.

"Will I ever be with a female?" Tsume chuckled.

"If you're lucky."

"Well, if I'm not, and I just stay in this pack of all guys, and I go through heat…?" Tsume's eyes went wide. Oh, shit… He looked up at the young blushing wolf. Tsume sighed. "Look, Toboe, if you ever feel like you need to…explore a bit, just come to me. You can trust me…" Toboe opened his mouth to say something when he saw Hige and Kiba coming back from the woods.


They were both silent as they followed the stream to the cave. Hige was still blushing, and Kiba couldn't stop sighing. Why the hell did I kiss Hige like that? What came over me? Hige looked at Kiba, who looked back. Their eyes met, and they both blushed and looked down.

A few feet from the cave, Kiba stopped and put a hand on Hige's shoulder. "Look Hige, about what happened-" Hige gave a fake cough and turned away.

"What happened?" he asked absently, staring at the sky. He continued towards the cave, leaving Kiba standing there. He probably thinks I like guys now. Oh, great. Kiba followed Hige into the cave to see a blushing Toboe on a boulder and a somewhat drowsy Tsume leaning against it. Tsume glanced at the two. "What's wrong with you guys?" he asked suspiciously. Hige and Kiba both shook their heads. Hige gave a chuckle and pointed at Toboe. "What's the runt blushing at?" he snickered. Toboe blushed even more and looked down.

"Nothing," he muttered, his voice higher than usual from nervousness. Everyone laughed at this, breaking the tension that hung heavily in the air.

It was soon dusk, and a fire was built inside the cave. The wolves were all sitting around it lazily, watching the flames. Toboe lay down on his side and closed his eyes. Everything Tsume told him today made sense to him, especially during this time. Toboe had had weird feelings in his groin lately and had even felt his member get a bit hard in the mornings after dreams.

Toboe took one last yawn and dozed off…


He woke back up to light pouring on his face. He sat up and looked around. Hige and Kiba were down by the pond and Tsume was sitting at the cave entrance. At the sounds of Toboe moving, Tsume turned his icy gaze to the pup. Toboe yawned as Tsume went and sat by him. The older wolf was extra close, making Toboe nervous.

"Uh, hey, Tsume," Toboe muttered.

"'Bout time you woke," was the cool reply. "We were just about to find something to eat." Toboe tried to stand, but Tsume just yanked him back down. "We don't have to leave just yet, kid. Stay awhile…" Toboe blinked. Tsume put his hand on the pup's inner thigh. Toboe blushed as the weird feeling spread through his lower area.

"Tsume…" Tsume put a finger to Toboe's lips and leaned in closer. Tsume gave Toboe a deep, wet kiss. Toboe froze, scared. He would've stopped Tsume, but then Tsume might get angry and hurt him. Tsume finally broke the kiss off, then pinned Toboe to the ground forcefully. He straddled the pup, kissing his neck and sliding his hand down Toboe's jeans…

Toboe let out a moan of fright, and his eyes popped open. Toboe bolted forward and looked around. It was just a dream. Another dream... Everyone was still asleep and the fire was out. It was almost light out, too. He was panting heavily and sweating. Tsume opened one eye and watched him. Toboe looked down at his fly and touched himself slightly.

"What's the matter, brat?"

Toboe jumped and turned around. Tsume was looking at him oddly. Toboe smiled in a nervous manner. "Oh, nothing," he said. "Just a weird dream." His voice shook. Tsume raised one eyebrow and mumbled something to himself. He finally closed both eyes and dozed off. Toboe sighed and lay back on his side. Whoa, that was so weird. Do the dreams mean anything?!


Part 1: Complete. Hope you enjoyed. Sucks at first, but don't worry, things will get better. I just got into Wolf's Rain. Seen a few eps of the anime. I like the manga better, though. Anywho, I'm taking lemon ideas, and any comments on what you think on the couples. (For that just email me.) Later!!
