.:Chapter One:.
A cloaked and hooded figure crept through the shadowed alleyways, silent and deadly, eyes locked on it's target; a pack of wolves, three young adult males and one male adolescent, all hidden in their human illusions.
. . .
Tsume glanced behind him, sure there was someone following them. He could smell another wolf, but he couldn't tell where the scent was coming from. Turning back to the road ahead, he saw Kiba looking back as well. The two exchanged a look, and Tsume nodded once in silent understanding. Both continued walking, ears pricked and alert. Ahead of them, the other two wolves, a large and goofy male named Hige, and an optimistic pup named Toboe, hadn't noticed a thing.
"If you're so tough, why are you always whining?" Hige teased Toboe.
"I told you, I won't whine any more!"
"Sure..." Hige replied, voice thick with sarcasm. Toboe shot him a glare.
"Really."
Hige put his hands up. "Alri-" he began, cut off when a shadowy cloaked figure leaped from the roof of the building beside them, knocking Hige to the ground and putting a knife to his throat, throwing Toboe to the side. "What th-?"
"What are you doing here? What have you come for?" a cold, low voice demanded. Hige strained to see its face, but it was hidden by shadow. Kiba and Tsume were posed to attack, hackles raised and teeth bared, showing themselves as wolves.
Toboe sat up, fear flashing in his eyes. "We-we're looking for Paradise."
"Paradise...?" the figure whispered, voice much softer, loosening its grip on Hige. Suddenly, it shook its head. "Don't lie, it won't work!" it snarled, a little shaken.
Seeing his chance, Hige kicked the figure square in the face, throwing it back and jumping to his now-paws.
Recovering, the figure pulled out another dagger, one in each hand. Tsume and Kiba leaped at it. The figure engaged them both, barely fending off most of their attacks. Now in human form, Tsume pulled his own knife. He glanced at Kiba and he turned human as well, nodding once. They both lunged at the figure from either side. It blocked their attacks, just barely; blade to blade with Tsume, it's other dagger held by the blade in Kiba's bleeding hand as it used all it's strength to fight them, struggling.
Thinking quickly as it saw Hige preparing to lunge, it flipped the knife so it would slide out of Kiba's hand, then leaped backward, smirking as the two wolves' eyes widened and the three of them crashed together.
Moving at lightning speed, it ran at Toboe, who was growling but standing rather uselessly to the side, still in human form. Lunging at him, knife in its teeth, it pinned him, pressing the blade to his neck. It adjusted its head, preparing to make the death blow, when it was impacted hard from the side and thrown against the brick wall behind it. Its hood was thrown over its head, and Tsume's knife was pressed to its throat. Hige gasped. "It's..."
