-The Pack-

"I'm so hungry." a young boy around sixteen complained, his stomach growling loudly in protest to the lack of food. A thick mop of light brown hair lay windblown atop of his head due to the raging winds around him. His orange sweatshirt rippled angrily in the stinging stabs air.

"Shut it! No one needs to hear your whining." snapped a male voice from the front of the small group of five. His stomach betrayed his own hunger, emitting a sound not unlike Hige's. Gray paws thrust themselves toward to the nearest rock and a lean gray body flopped into the thin snow, a pink tongue lolling out of the mouth periodically in a slight pant.

"Come on, Tsume. We know you're hungry too." a slightly naval voice stated from the outskirts of the group. Red brown fur was becoming more and more visible as the snow and wind decreased greatly, slowly coming to a stop. He was incredibly scrawny, barely bigger than a pup, his nose twitching. He had caught a scent on the wind.

"Well, I know I am. And I smell something!" he exclaimed, trying to locate the scent. He wasn't quite sure whether the smell was human, wolf, or possible dinner. The lunar flower scent of Cheza was messing with his nose.

A snow white wolf raised his head uncertaintly from where it laid on the flower maiden's leg, knocking her hand off of his muzzle. Cheza's scent was confusing his smell also. "I think it's food." he supplied, hopping lightly to his feet.

Cheza rose beside him, almost seeming to her float up.

"Do you smell it, Tsume?" Kiba, the white wolf, asked Tsume, who was nowhere to be seen. "Tsume?" Kiba looked around and cursed under his breath. "That mutt went to make the kill."

Hige stood up, his tan pelt replacing his orange sweatshirt now."Well, I'm not going to let him take the first bite so I'll kill it before him." he growled, though not entirely playing. He darted off after the strange smell and Tsume's scent, his paws throwing up white snow behind , leaving a flurry of snow dust in Toboe and Kiba's eyes.

"You should have kept that to yourself,Toboe." Kiba grumbled, padding after the two tracks, Cheza at his side.

"This one cannot smell anything, Kiba." Cheza spoke softly for the first time that day, her voice having a dream-like quality to it.

Because you're a flower, Toboe thought to himself, but following Kiba and Cheza all the same. He wasn't quite sure now that what he was smelling was really food. His suspicions were confirmed as they came upon Tsume and another fighting.

Snarls erupted from both wolves as they showcased their razor canines and glinting claws. Blood dripped from both once shining coats.

-Kanade-

A young female wolf loped cross the snowy plains, enjoying the stinging cold wind across her face, her paws leaving light indentions in the snow. She wasn't built for extreme freezing temperatures like this, but over a couple years of living here, she had gotten used to it, and even kind of liked it. It was a wonder she had managed to actually survive here. Her natural,mulitcolored fur wasn't exactly the best camouflage for hiding in the snow.

The wolf halted abruptly, her tail frozen straight out. Strange scents were floating up from downhill. Wolves, she was sure it. And was that...lunar flower? No, it couldn't be. There was no way a flower could survive in something like this. It was probably just her imagination, it had to be. She shook out her fur, discarding unmelted snow from her pelt. The smells were getting stronger.

The four different wolf scents were still there but so was the flower's. The last one, she guessed, was just a hallucination; nothing more, nothing less. The wolf scent... well, if she left them alone, they would most likely pass on. If not, then she could finally have an excuse to give her claws a much needed sharpening. She let her muscles relaxed and her tail fell low again.

Although she didn't exactly need to hide, as she was sure that the wolves were just pups having lost their way and were scrounging for food, the thought of shelter was quite appealing.

The female wolf padded over to small cave in the snow that she had found a couple days ago. Normally, she could only stay in a shelter for a couple days before the snow filled it in. This one had only lasted a few days but Kanade, the wolf, was pretty impressed at the way it held up.

She could now hear pawsteps pounding up the and closer they walked toward her shelter, but they paused only half a second in the entrance before moving on. The scent was fading ever so slowly and when Kanade was sure it was distant enough, she removed herself from the cave. She cautiously looked around to see if they had left and sighed, flopping down onto the cold snow. She hated other wolves. Vicious, they were.

A tearing sensation ripped through the back of Kanade's neck unexpectedly. She was lifted off the ground and thrown into a rock. Snarling, she stood up, her muscles taut and ready to attack.

A gray wolf stood meters from her, his head raised. "Thought you were a rabbit." he said, obviously disappointed.

"Sorry to disappoint you!" she snarled, not caring what he thought. He had attacked her for no reason. She would return the favor. Kanade leapt for him and sunk her claws deep into her back, her sensitive hearing picking up other pawsteps and the tearing of flesh. The metallic scent of blood filled the air and more wolves, about three, appeared in the distance. And to think she thought they were pups.

|The Pack + Kanade|

The three wolves halted at the scene, their eyes widening as they took in the battle. Mulitcolored fur flashed everywhere, leaving a trail of blood behind it. Kiba shook his head and trotted down the slope to aide Tsume.

Kiba pounced on Kanade, his claws shredding fur and flesh. His teeth sunk into the she-wolf's back, pulling her off of Tsume.

Kanade thrashed around and managed to free herself from Kiba's teeth. She growled viciously at the four wolves, crouching down low, still willing to fight, despite her wounds. It was clear that she had not seen Cheza, yet the scent of Lunar flowers was still strong in her nostrils.

The wolves were surprised by her behavior. They were wolves just like her after all, and almost every other wolf they had met so far was pretty friendly to them, with the exception of a couple.

Hige held up his hands, trying to defuse the battle and ease the tension.. "Hey, we're wolves too, no need to attack." He wasn't doing a very good job.

"Your point?" Kanade asked, her voice filled with venom. Her eyes never left Tsume, as she wasn't going to risk another attack from him, much less another injury. Blood still flowed from the wounds on her body, but she ignored it. Her vision was going blurry from loss of blood. She stumbled a little to the left, though she hadn't even stepped.

"Are you okay?" Toboe inquired worriedly, seeing her stumble. His eyes showed true concern for someone he had never met and who had just attacked his pack. He took a cautious step toward her.

Kanade leapt back from him. "I'm perfectly fine. I don't need any of your crappy help." she snapped angrily, now barely able to see anything. Her mind was fogging up, making it hard to think clearly. The familiar flower scent flooded her brain. She could barely make out faint outline of Cheza. So it was real. It wasn't my imagination. The lunar... I mean flower maiden is really here.

"This one will help the wolf." Cheza said, barely concealing her excitement. She knelt down next to Kanade and whispered so that only she could hear. "This one will help the Lunar beast.
