Chapter 1 Soui

The search for paradise had re began, and the pack is back together once more.It had been a while, that they've been searching. Cheza is with Darcia once again, and the pack is on his trail once more.

Toboe, Blue, and Hige stayed behind in the den where they rested. Kiba and Tsume, as usual were out on the hunt, looking for game to bring back. They walked along silently, their pads and nails the only sounds clicking in the snow. One black wolf, and one white.

Tsume, you hear that? Kiba's ears perked as his eyes darted about

Yeah I did, something's out here Tsume admitted a low growl

Let's go Kiba continued to walk forward, Tsume only one step behind.

Both their heads turned to the right hearing something approach, and Kiba was instantly knocked down with something atop him.

KIBA! Tsume growled. Atop Kiba was a gold wolf with copper eyes, it trying to sink its teeth into Kiba's front right leg. Tsume charged and grabbed the wolf by the scruff of its neck and threw it aside. You okay?

I'm fine Kiba said standing up and shaking the snow off of him. Tsume trotted up to the wolf and pushed his paw onto the black wolf's jugular.

What the hell is your deal, attacking us? Tsume growled, but there was no response Answer damnit! He snapped his teeth only a centimeter away from his prey's face.

Damn you boys, you're all the same The gold wolf snapped admitting its own low growl

Why did you attack us? Kiba asked camly

Why did you enter foreign territory! She snapped back

We're traveling. Its not like this is your territory she-wolf. As far as I can see, you're alone. Tsume shot back

My pack was killed by Darcia. That noble said he was looking for a white wolf and his pack. Well you fit the description perfectly, and I will avenge my pack! She barked. Their was a scar right between her two eyes.

How did you survive that sort of scar? Kiba asked curiously

Darcia spared me. That bastard. I would rather have died with them then wander this world without them. He's just mocking me now The wolf looked away from them I lost everything, I lost the children, my brothers and sisters, what's the point, what should I be searching for?

Paradise Kiba told her

Paradise? That's just a pup's tail The wolf sighed miserably

Even if it is, it gives us something to search for, a sense of purpose. Tsume growled At least we're not wasting our lives away morning the loss of something that's already dead

SHUT UP YOU! The wolf screamed What would you know about losses, you're in a pack, you have friends watching out for you

I've lost plenty of damn people in this world. Tsume screamed back

People? You actually befriended those monsters?

I did what I had to, I had to survive somehow in that city! Tsume barked practically ready to destroy her.

That's enough Tsume Kiba told him calmly, now below Tsume's paw was a frail girl. Her hair was a gold, her eyes just as amber and copper colored to match them. She was pale, and rather skinny for a girl. Her red shirt was damp with the snow and she wore cargo pants and boots, more so, that's what her appearance was.

So this what you want to see? If I took on the appearance of one of those worthless human's you'd spare me? The girl shrieked

SHUT UP! Tsume slapped her across the face. She gasped and brought her hand to her face; now seeing a white haired man in black leather clothes atop her If I had it my way you would've been killed the minute you attacked Kiba

Who are you? Kiba asked her placing his hands in his brown coat pockets. Tsume removed his hand from the girl's throat, and stood up standing next to Kiba. The girl sat up rubbing at her throat. She looked up at them with hate in her eyes

"My name is Soui"

"Where will you be heading now Soui?" Kiba asked her quietly

"I'm not sure, I planned on killing you because of my rage and remorse. But the look in your eye, tells me nothing will stop you from getting to what you're looking for"

Tsume only growled looking away with his hands in his pockets

"And him, he looks like he'd tear the whole world apart if you weren't here to stop him"

"I'm Kiba. This is Tsume" Kiba told her quietly pulling her up onto her feet.

She just spat at the ground and looked the other way. She looked up at the moon, which had no finally risen. The way the moonlight shone down on her, Tsume was rather surprised, she looked almost majestic. No matter either form she was in, the moonlight looked as if it danced around her. The scar on her head, shaped almost like a crescent moon seemed to glow too.

"So you two are the one's with the flower maiden aren't you? That scent is all over you"

Kiba frowned looking away but Tsume filled in the blanks "That bastard Darcia took her."

She laughed "Seems like that bastard always wants to twist us. I know there are more of you. I can smell you all. There's a girl, a young boy, and another average male. The falcons told me you were coming"

Tsume growled again, he didn't trust this she-wolf. She knew too much about them. Kiba had the same instinct, and they glanced at each other. Soui stopped laughing as her eyes widened and she picked up a sound, and she ran and pushed the two boys out of the way. A gun shot was heard and a yelp

"TSUME!" Toboe sat up in the cave.

"Uhh what's the matter Runt?" Hige asked yawning

"Tsume and Kiba are in trouble! Didn't you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Hige asked again

"Hige, I heard it too..." Blue said quietly

"What should we do?" Toboe asked nervously

"Lets wait a little longer, they'll call for us if we're needed" Blue said quietly

Tsume's eyes flashed opened and he struggled to his feet and looked to Kiba

You alright Kiba?

Yeah, I'm fine... Kiba looked to see Soui, her blood pouring everywhere as she stood wobbling on her paws.

You two need to get out of here. This guy's been hanging around here for a while now Soui looked at the figure who darted through the trees. He was a young man with a very large gun. He knows I'm still here, he won't be after you

Tsume looked at Soui amazed, and at the same time he snarled and bared his teeth.

We aren't going to leave you here Kiba told her as the two males joined her. The figure dashed between two more trees and Tsume was off. In a rapid sprint he dodged two more gun shots and ripped the gun from the man's hands.

"Damn you wolves!" The man screamed, Kiba came around from the right running in and sinking his teeth into the man's right leg.

We can go now, he won't be able to keep up with that bad of a injury to the leg Kiba told him. Tsume nodded and the two took off running. Kiba ran back to Soui who was now, just a human unconscious on the floor. Why are you human? Kiba asked her

"I...can't stand...as a wolf....but...if he sees me...he'd skin me....as a human....he'd just leave me to die....I won't completely...lose what little pride I have..."

Kiba bent over her and with his soft pink tongue he licked at the gun hole in her back. Soui flinched and tried not to show her tears. She couldn't be weak in front of these two males.

"Just go...just leave me to die."

"We can't do that." Kiba told her his hand weaving through her hair. Soui's eyes closed slowly, she fell unconscious. Kiba scooped her up in his arms and wandered back towards the save. The two wolves walked back, the white one carrying a gold wolf on its back.

"Tsume, Kiba, I was worried about you guys" Toboe came running out of the den. But seeing the girl, he stopped tilting his head to the side puzzled and concerned "Who's this?"

"Her name is Soui" Tsume replied in his usual harsh voice.

"She's going to rest with us for a while" Kiba told everyone gently. Blue and Hige came outside of the cave.

"Well, looks like you found another stray" Blue said cooly.

"Looks like she's hit hell" Hige said rubbing his hand through his hair "I guess this means we're not eating either

"If you're so hungry porky go get it yourself!" Tsume barked turning off and storming into the cave

"What's his deal?" Hige asked

"His prides been hurt being saved by a she-wolf. A hunter took aim at us, she took the blow. Its complicated."

Toboe started a fire, and they laid Soui next to it, and her blood stained the snow more, but there was a full moon out, and she would heal.

"So what's her story?" Blue asked sitting with her knees bent

"Darcia killed her pack, and she wanted revenge to kill us. But then the hunter showed up"

"So why did she save you two?" Toboe asked confused

"Its just...instinct...no matter how much hate she had" Kiba looked at her.

The night went on quietly after that. At one point though, Hige and Blue brought back a large buck. They all ate quietly. Hige was most pleased with this. Once full, Blue and Hige curled up together in the snow. Toboe curled up near them too, innocent as could be. Kiba rested on his back, staring up at the stars. Tsume; remained in the cave.

Soui's eyes opened gently, as she turned her head, there was a pile of meat in front of her. At first she scowled, feeling like a pet dog then a wolf. She nibbled at it quietly, tearing the meat apart. Her wounds were nearly gone and she rose quietly. She looked around at all of them, and sighed quietly. She turned and began to limp off.

Soon the gentle flickering light of the fire grew smaller and she wandered off between the trees.

Where the hell you going? Tsume asked her

Leaving. I can't kill you after you spared me. There's no point of me being there. The wolf's eyes sparkled

You don't show much loyalty to others apparently

And you don't? I can tell by the way you act, how you seclude yourself from them

That's nothing of your concern Tsume growled and bared his teeth

Look I'm fine, just let me go

Where would you go?

I guess just to wander here, its not like I have a purpose

Then go to paradise

You believe that crap?

Not really, but something about these guys, we all have a destination that isn't real, but it, keeps us together. The wolf whinnied

So we'll all go on wandering until we die

But at least you have someone with you, even if they are idiots Tsume calmed himself. What do you have to lose?

Nothing anymore I guess... Soui said quietly. She wandered up to him, and walked under his neck nuzzling him, her warm pink tongue licking at his lips. The wolf wined softly rubbing him with her fur. Tsume blushed frantically, never having anyone remotely touch him as the girls hands wrapped around him and her lips met his. He didn't understand what she was doing, nor what he was doing.But she stood up on her toes intensifying intimacyShe rubbed her hands up and down his chest and she rubbed at his shoulders.

She released him carefully and trotted away quickly back towards the pack. Tsume, bewildered and was filled with a strange stimulated feeling in him. He took his time getting back to the rest of the pack. By the time he had gotten there, Soui was already curled up with Kiba's head on her neck, he already well asleep, probably unaware of it all.

"What the hell was this girl's deal?"
