Momentarily alone, and more than a little bored, Hige wanders the city. Unintentionally, he runs into someone, and they show him a side of their personality he didn't expect.(I don't own Wolf's Rain or they'd have put these two together.)
Wolf
'Now where'd that damn Kiba get to?' I can't help but ask myself over and over. Seems the snowflake just up and disappeared on me. Walking around in this form isn't the best idea I guess, with that hunter around. Still, it's easier to get around. If only I could find Kiba. He must be pretty far away, I can't even smell him. And that's exactly why I'm wandering around this forsaken city. "Kiba!" No answer. "Hey, snowflake!" Still no answer. Great. He hates when I call him snowflake. If he were around he'd answer for sure. By now I'm ready to forget the damned snowflake. Let him find himself for all I care. There's gotta be something better to do around here.
I round the corner, only to find myself nose to nose with the blue black dog. Just my luck. She's going to go ballistic. She always does. Or at least, that's what I've been told. Come to think of it, I've never really run into her myself. From what I know, the hunter relies on her to tell him which of us are wolves and which are just really big dogs, like her. She is large. Almost as big as I am. As I start to move away, she lays her ears back. Why'd she do that? Then I realize her master's not paying attention to us.
Suddenly, she whispers something quietly, her nose still to mine. I swallow, "uh, would you mind repeating that?" "Wolf," she whispers again, just a little louder. To my surprise, she then tenderly licks my lips. Shocked, I back up a few steps. If that wasn't a come-on, I don't know what is. What's she thinking, doing somethin' like that? She's a dog, I'm a wolf, it can't work. Not in this world. Can it?
She takes a step toward me and I back up another. "Hold on a minute. I don't even know your name." I try to deter her. She advances another step, "Blue." "Huh?" "That's my name. What's yours handsome?" I don't think she's going to be put off. "My name? Hige." "Handsome name for a handsome wolf." All right, now I'm sure she's not gonna be put off. Trying to think of a way out of this, I study her a moment.
Then again, maybe I don't want a way out. Now that I've really stopped to look at her, she's actually rather pretty. But still, "I'm a wolf. You said so yourself. Don't you hunt wolves?" "Quent does." "Quent?" "Him," she motions to the other end of the leash. To the hunter. "I just tell him which ones are wolves." "So, aren't you gonna squeal on me?" "No." "Why not?" "Because there are no decent dogs in this worthless city. Therefore, I'll just have to take what I can get." She smiles at me, "besides, you're better than any dog. And at least twice as handsome."
Not that I don't agree with her on that. And not to mention the definite lack of female wolves in the area. Or how pretty she is, for that matter. Maybe we can help each other here. She comes over and nuzzles me, causing my nose to sink into her thick fur. Only then do I realize how good she smells, particularly compared to this stinking city.
At this moment, her master just chances to turn back to her. "Well, what've you got there Blue?" She gives him a soft, happy bark and licks me again. "Got yourself a boyfriend, did ya?" He pats me on the head, "there's a good fella. You be nice to my Blue, ya hear." I flip my tail back and forth a few times in response, not willing to risk a meeting with his gun. "Come on girl, time to go."
She barks again, and turns back to me. He looks down at me, "sure, he can walk with us." She turns to me with a pleading look. "Will you come? Please Hige?" Well, I wanted something better to do than look for Kiba. And if you ask me, a walk with a pretty female definitely counts as better. "Sure." We head off, the two of us side by side at the end of her leash.
Chaos: Hi! Chapter 1 is up! Hooray!! I hope you like it. If you haven't read my other Wolf's Rain fics, you probably don't know that I love these two as a couple. So now you do. Hopefully I'll have chapter 2 up soon. Please R&R. The other four got an incredible response. Oh, and just so you know, those 4 are a series. This 1 is separate from them.
