'As the fourth full moon begins to fade, so will she.' Those words. Eleven small, but horrible words replayed over and over in Kiba's head.
'The fourth full moon,' "No..." 'Begins to fade.' "No," 'So will,' "Cheza," 'She.' "No!" He felt as if everything and everyone was against him. His beloved flower maiden was, slowly, leaving him, but he refused to accept it. He refused there was no way to help Cheza.
"Cheza, no, no," Kiba softly cried.
"Uh, Kiba? A- are you ok?" Toboe asked. "Kiba, can you hear me? Kiba, uh-" "Leave him alone." "Tsume, uh-" "Hey, come on kid. Why don't you help me find firewood, Ok?" "K, Tsume." Cheza sat down next to Kiba as Tsume and Toboe headed out into the forest.
"Kiba, Kiba, are you alright?" She looked at him then, her eyes pleading for an answer. He just sat there holding his knees against his chest. She put her arms around his shoulders and leaned her head against his back.
"Don't be sad for this one. This one wants you to be happy. Please, please." She started to cry.

"I'm really worried about Kiba, Tsume. He hasn't said a word to any of us in days." "Toboe?" "Yeah?" "Don't worry about him, he'll sort it out." "I guess so. What about Hige? He lust ran off with Blue. He's been gone for three days, what if he doesn't come back? What if he-" "Kid, you talk too much." "Sorry."

"My life's complicated." "Help me understand!" "You wouldn't."

"Cher, yes I would! Cher, Cher. I love you. Just help me understand and I can help you! Please!" "Hubb, You never could understand my work with Cheza. You always complained that I spent too much time on her. Please, it's best if I continued on my own. You should go back home." "Damn it Che-" "Goodbye, Hubb." "NO!!" "I- I'm sorry, I have to go," She ran out of the diner feeling like her world was over. She had lost her only love, and Cheza. It seemed as if everyone couldn't understand her torment. She had given up on life.
She walked along a beaten path which seemed to lead to nowhere. She didn't care. Only thoughts of lose and despair flowed in her head. She evan thought of killing herself, until he stepped in front of her. The man who would change her life forever.

"Kiba, please talk to this one. This one-" "Shh. Listen." At that moment, a huge craft flew over them and the gun fire began. Swarms of troops surrounded them and a man in the shadowed gave a gesture. "Kiba!" They took her. Snatched her from him.
"Cheza!! Cheza,no!!!" "Kiba, Kiibbaaaa!!!!"
