Chapter 1:
The Borders
The moon was pure white. A howl came from deep inside a forest. Another howl rang out in reply. A group of wolves ran swiftly, weaving through the trees. There were heading to the edge of their border, trying to get as close as possible to the area where the howl had come from. They had been called and the same thing happened almost every night with these wolves. The wolves were following their pack leader and second in command through there dark territory. The moon was light enough to light up the wolves fur coats. The leader had a pure with coat with what looked like a black crescent moon on her chest. Her second in command had black fur with four white spots on her neck, two on each side. A blond haired wolf, a green haired wolf, a pink haired wolf, a bronze haired wolf, and a light purple wolf followed their leaders. The white haired wolf stopped gracefully while the others tried not to slam into trees as they skidded to their stop. Hinata was the purple wolf, Tenten was the green woof, Temari was the bronze, Ino was the yellow wolf, and Sakura was the pink wolf.
"This is the border." barked Mizuki.
"I can tell! Those wolves reek! It's pretty easy to tell this is our border, Mizuki." growled Azami.
"Azami! You shouldn't talk to Mizuki like that!" barked Ino. Mizuki grinned at this comment.
"It's okay Ino. I do not mind." Mizuki barked softly. The other wolves in the pack were quiet as they waited for their rivals to arrive. Another howl rang through the forest.
"They always did get lost on their way here," said Sakura.
"True, true." barked Mizuki. The female wolves let out a loud, long howl. They stopped when they heard paws hitting the ground, the sound getting louder every second.
"They're here." growled Azami as she narrowed her eyes.
"Quiet." growled Mizuki. Her pack grinned when they realized that Mizuki was in a bad mood and that the boys would probably get either attacked or denied of what ever it is that they want. A group of 7 wolves stopped in front of the pack of females. They were standing on the other side of the invisible wolf border. One wolf had light blue fur, one wolf had tan fur, another wolf had grey fur, another wolf had dark blue fur, one wolf had orange fur, one wolf had red fur, and the last one had brown fur.
"We want more land. We know you have plenty to spare," said the brown wolf.
"I already know that, Kiba. But I refuse to give up my land to you. I do not want this to turn into a fight so please leave." Mizuki said in a emotionless tone. The other wolves knew better than to get in their leaders may in situations like these. Even the second in command knew to stay quiet.
"Mizuki, please. One square mile of land. That's all! Please, we need more hunting land." pleaded the leader of the boys, Kiba.
"Kiba I have given you my answer and I will not change it." Mizuki barked a hint of anger in her voice.
"Please, we need it. We would hunt with one of your wolves to guide us and watch us. Please, we need the land." begged Kiba. Mizuki froze in thought. She was considering it until Azami growled at me. The boys looked shocked that Mizuki's second in command was growling at her. Mizuki spun her head around, stared at her and then nodded.
"I know, don't worry." Mizuki said to her second. She spun her head back at Kiba. "I'm sorry but my answer is still no. Now before I get any angrier, we will leave." barked Mizuki. She turned and ran back into her territory before there were any complaints. Mizuki's pack followed her.
"Kiba, she had to hurry. It's almost sunrise." said the red wolf.
"I know that already Garra." Kiba growled at his second in command.
"We better hurry too," said the orange haired wolf. All the male wolves stared at him. The orange wolf had a huge grin on his face and seemed to be oblivious to what was happening.
"He's right," said a dark blue wolf.
(With the girls)
"You cut it kind of close to sunrise." said Azami.
"Sorry." Mizuki said. She was still a little angry with the boys. Hinata ran to catch up to Mizuki.
"Mizuki, do you think they'll try to ask us tomorrow?" Hinata asked softly.
"I hope not." Mizuki answered. They ran up to an inn and howled one last time as the sun began to peak over the trees.
