I do not own Wolf's Rain or any recognizable characters in this fanfic.

A small black wolf pup walked across the bare land, not letting its left foreleg touch the ground. A cold gust of wind hit against his right flank, making him shiver. Still, he welcomed the cold. It was bliss to burn the fire had imprinted into his flesh. Blood slowly trickled down his muzzle to the ground, staining the snow crimson as he passed. Red and white spots danced in his vision.

He couldn't stop now, though. He breathed in deeply. Three scents hung in the air. The first he recognized in an instant, the stench of pollution and humans. He must be near a city. The second he couldn't identify, but whatever it was, it was alluring and it tugged on his heartstrings, making him want to reach it. He knew that if it he found it, it would mean safety and peace.

The final scent was one that he knew, but he didn't believe what it was. It was the scent of wolves, with five different scents within it. Four males and a female.

With renewed vigor, the pup made his way towards the scents. Through the flurry of snow, the pup could barely make out the outline of the city before the snow left from beneath his paws and was immediately replaced with hard cement. The pup smiled, the portion of his journey completed. Now, to find the wolves.

The pup wandered the streets for an hour and still couldn't find one of the wolves. He managed to begin trailing one wolf in specific before he came to an area that had the scent spread everywhere. Whining in defeat, he curled up behind a disposed crate and fell into a dreamless sleep.


Deep within Freeze City's laboratory, the Flower Maiden twitched slightly and her eyes opened and blinked for the first time in years as the smell of a wolf's blood had entered her nose. Soon, though, she returned to her original state.

The final wolf had entered the city.

Okay, this is my first Wolf's Rain fanfic and my first ever fanfic. I hope you enjoy! R&R please!
