When Hige gets slightly wounded, he only ends up worst when he's attacked by a cougar infested with a virus. Will Hige get it?
Review what you want, ideas, flames, comments, suggestions, advice or whatever you think of. Well I hope you have fun reading this because I had fun writing this. But do you think I need more detail? Well HERE THE STORY IS!
How are you supposed to trust someone when you don't know a thing about them? They tell you not to mistrust them. Not knowing if you're instincts are right or wrong you assume to trust them. Only to be wrong.
Hige learned that the previous day as he trusted before he knew the person. The person seemed to kind and gentle from the way her old voice echoed in the air. As she offered the meat she told Hige to trust her and not to worry about being tricked. Gladly without thinking, Hige grabbed the food and managed to take a few bites before Tsume appeared.
Tsume had ripped the food from Hige's mouth as if he stole it. But really he was taking it away. Hige stood in shock as he felt the meat being ripped away. He had never known Tsume to take any food from the other's in the pack. Expecting to see Tsume eat it for himself he saw him throw it with his massive jaws so it landed a few feet away. Hige looked devastated as the old lady did too.
"Tsume what did you do that for?" Hige yelled at the gray wolf in front if him. The lady watched as she couldn't hear a word they were saying.
"Hige! Don't take food from this person. You don't know her!" He watched the lady as she pulled another piece of food out of a sack she held. "Don't you dare!" He lunged at the lady and grabbed the meat also throwing it. Then he went to the sack and grabbed that too.
Hige watched Tsume grab the meat and sack wondering what he was doing. Why would he throw the food away? Even when this... human was being nice enough to offer. She said Hige could trust her. Was she lying enough for Tsume to sense it. Or what? Hige's thoughts were interrupted by Tsume yelling, "Hige! Come on!" He saw Tsume running into the alley ways of the buildings. The lady looked angry watching Tsume run off. Deciding Tsume was right about the food, he followed the gray wolf.
After catching up with Tsume, Hige jumped in front if him and blocked him of going any farther. "What did you do that for?" He yelled.
Tsume growled at Hige then shoved him out of the way. He turned to human form as Hige did the same. "No really! Tell me why!" Hige wouldn't let Tsume go any further without knowing the answer for himself.
Tsume stopped and sighed then ruffled his hair with his hand. "Kid, you have much to learn. One thing is, trust your instincts, two is, don't let your hunger control you."
Hige looked at him wondering what he was saying. Tsume read Hige's expression and went on. "I could smell that food miles away. Damn well you could too. But I could also smell another thing mixed with that food." He stopped at that and continued walking.
What did he mean by that? Hige watched Tsume's back as he slowly walked into the city. "Wait, are you saying it was poisoned?" Hige thought back to the lady and how the old lady was almost forcing him to trust her. Could what Tsume was saying be true? That there was something else he could smell in the food.
Tsume kept walking noticing the younger wolf not walking behind him. "Come on kid!" He then heard Hige slowly follow.
"Now where do we find food Tsume?" He was a few feet behind Tsume watching his feet move while he tried to concentrate on not tripping from the cracks in the cement floor.
After walking awhile, they soon reached the wooden hut where Toboe and Kiba sat not talking as they walked in. Kiba and Toboe looked at the presence of their two friends entering to hut and sitting down as they were.
Kiba looked at Tsume and sighed. "We might as well leave soon." He saw the two people who had just entered the hut look at him wondering what he was saying. "Some old lady reported two wolves in the city. She said, a gray one," he pointed out looking at Tsume, "took her food and almost killed her. Then she said a brown one," he looked at Hige, "ran off with him after the gray one attacked her."
Tsume and Hige looked at each other blaming each other with their eyes. "If it wasn't for Porky over here who took the food they wouldn't know about us."
"Yeah but you're the one who attacked her!" Hige yelled.
"After saving your life!" Tsume grabbed Hige's shirt so they were eye to eye. His voice calmed down a little but still became warning as he said, "At least we hope so. For you still took a few bites before I stopped you."
Hige's eyes widened as he realized what Tsume was saying. He had had a bite or so before Tsume stopped him. 'What's going to happen now?' He wondered. Tsume dropped him and looked to the floor also realizing that Hige had eaten a bit.
Toboe looked confused as he said, "I'm missing something here I think." Tsume growled and looked at him which made Toboe shut up for the next few minutes.
Kiba looked outside to see the sun setting in the distance. "A few more people said they saw wolves entering the alley one minute, then two humans leaving the next. Now they're suspicious of what is going on. We have to leave before they find you two."
Hige sighed then got up. Now thinking about it, he had started to feel dizzy on the inside and not the outside. He could still see everything normal like he would every day, but on the inside he felt as though he was falling in many directions. It wasn't that bad so he walked outside and sat on the ground where he could be alone.
He felt bad now that they would have to leave. Now they were all forced to spend the night in the wilderness where it was terrifyingly cold. In the city, it was warmer where the buildings would block the sun from blowing inside the city.
But his thoughts trailed back to the food he had eaten. Maybe he wouldn't get sick. Maybe the food wasn't even poisoned and Tsume's nose was just off a lot. "No way." He said quietly. Tsume was almost always right. He also had a lot more experience as a wolf and trusting his own instincts. He might not be right about Paradise, if it's true or not, but he could be right.
But maybe the food wouldn't take as much affect and he might now even notice it. But he doubted it. He felt like he could feel the world turning. He put his hand down on the cement and gasped. He felt as though he had just fallen off a cliff. Then he started to turn the other way.
He could hear Tsume and Toboe talking behind him. He tried to focus on what they were saying instead of the way he was often falling and turning. Maybe they were feeling it too? Maybe the world was turning and making them feel like this. He opened his mouth to ask if they felt as though they were moving but thought against it. What if they weren't? Then they would know that the food had taken affect on Hige and that it was poisoned. Then Tsume would remind him every minute about his major mistake.
Sighing, he put both of his hands on the cement and shut his eyes tight. He then heard footsteps beside himself and opened his eyes. "Come on Hige." Toboe said.
"We're leaving already?" He fought to keep his composer straight and to not look as though he was about to throw up.
"Yeah so get your ass up and lets move on!" Tsume glared down at him with a dark stare. He wasn't in any mood to have Hige's mouth piss him off. "Now get up!" Hige followed his order an got up trying to not fall the direction the earth seemed to be moving. He put his back up against the wall of the wooden hut for support.
He watched as Tsume glared at him for a second and continue on. "You don't look so well Hige." Toboe looked up at him with concern in his eyes.
Hige glared down at him and spat, "Why don't you worry about you're self for once runt!" Then he walked away not saying another word.
"Yeah well I'm glad that you thanked me for being concerned!" Then he walked by Tsume. "And I'm not a runt!" He then kept walking not saying another word.
Hige tried to concentrate on little objects as they walked through the forest. He was in the back in front of Kiba trying to look as though he wasn't going to be sick. Toboe almost blew his cover back in the city after asking if he was okay.
Tsume didn't seem to notice his slagging behind but Toboe and Kiba did. He knew Kiba was walking behind him so he wouldn't fall too far behind. He wanted to turn around and yell at Kiba for being behind him, but then Tsume would really know something was wrong.
In the distance he could hear the sound of a stream. The sound of it made him realize how thirsty he really was. He stopped and listened for the direction where the sound was coming from. "I'll be back you guys."
They all watched him trail off into the distance of the trees all knowing he was going in search of the water. Toboe watched him closely then asked, "Has he been acting strange lately?"
Tsume stopped and looked where Hige was heading. "Meet us down the road somewhere!" He yelled after him. He received a wave from Hige as if he was waving a reply. "Yeah, he has." Tsume sighed.
Kiba included himself in the conversation as he added, "Ever since we left town he has been walking all over the road. Not like the usual straight line everyone walks in."
"I think it was the food he ate." Tsume sighed then said, "Watch him closely when he gets back. If he doesn't get back soon, we'll need to go find him at the stream."
Hige walked slowly along the road that deer had created over the years. The sound of the stream could be heard stronger as he followed the scent of water. His craving for the water increased highly as he smelled it stronger for each step he took.
Finally he saw a glisten of water in the distance and he managed to run in a straight line to reach it. He smiled when he saw it and knelt down to drink it as much and fast as he could. He seemed like he couldn't get enough. He kept drinking more and more until he felt as though he would burst.
The only thing he didn't realize is he let his huger control him once again. He didn't hear the sound of breathing a few feet away as a huge cougar approached him softly. Hige breathed heavily as he let the feeling of not being thirsty over come him.
Hige's eyes increased in size, as he smelled something coming closer. As he became fully a where of his surroundings, he heard the panting of an animal. He turned around, and before he could even make a move, the cougar knocked him down.
Hige gasped as he felt the impact knock his down. Lying on his back, he tried to breath for the impact knocked the wind out of him. He screamed from shock as he felt claws sink down into his skin.
Hige winced as the cat kneaded his claws into him making him lunge up and push the cat back. The cougar saw his prey trying to escape and grabbed him around the throat. Hige had never felt pain like this in his life. The fact of not being able to breathe made him scream from with in.
Slowly his eyes felt as though they were closing even though he was keeping them wide open. Blackness was filling in his eyes as he saw less and less within each second. Just as he thought all hopes were lost, he saw a gray wolf jump on the cougar, which made him loose his grasp of Hige.
Hige lay still for a second only listening to the screams of the cougar and the sound of a wolf growling and snarling. Then he felt the pain hit him. It first started where the cougar held his throat then floated to his chest where the cougar scratched him. He then realized how hard it was for him to breathe.
Hige gasped for air and he felt it all fill his lungs. He felt hands touch his shoulders and squeeze lightly as if feeling for any life in him. Hige opened his eyes and looked at Kiba who seemed to be relived when he opened his eyes.
"Can you walk?" Kiba asked breathing it out. Hige tried to get up but found himself too weak to lift himself. Kiba put his hand under Hige's back and was just about to lift him up when he saw an orange cougar jump towards them. Tsume was too far away to help them now so Kiba went to his last resort. He dropped Hige and jumped above him and brought the cougar down. He held the cougar by his throat until Tsume took over and attacked him again sending him flying in attacks trying to protect himself.
Kiba didn't bother to help Hige up. He lifted him in his arms and carried him out of the area as quick as he could. Hige felt blood drip down his chest and throat and realized what was happening. He opened his eyes to once again see Kiba with a worried look on his face. Looking down, Hige saw blood all over his chest that was also seeping from his throat.
The reality hit him like an un-expected shark attack. He might die. The blood from his neck made it obvious he was hurt really bad. He made a soft gasp from the throbbing pain in his chest. Then the stinging in his throat took over and made him try to bring his hands up to it. Hoping this wasn't the end of him he slowly fell unconscious.
Kiba finally came to a clearing in the woods where Toboe waited. When he saw the sight of Hige his face turned white. "Is... is... he...?" He couldn't finish the sentence before tears started forming in his eyes.
"No. But we have to hurry and save him. Get something that will help stop bleeding."
Toboe was completely confused and found himself unable to respond in any way. "What do I get?" he asked not really knowing what he was asking.
"Anything!"
That was all Toboe needed to hear to send him searching for anything to block bleeding. He started to go deeper into the woods but realized nothing would help to stop bleeding in the woods. Looking at Hige once again, he went to him and stared to take off Hige's shirt.
"It won't work. It's too filled with his own blood."
"But we have to try!" He sobbed once again.
Just as Kiba was about to apply pressure to Hige's wound, he saw Tsume appear ahead of him and his blood too drained from his face. He gasped and knelt down and helped to stop the bleeding.
"I didn't know it was this bad." He said with concern in his voice. "Damn it!" he hissed through his clenched teeth.
"We've just got to do whatever it will take to stop the bleeding. We won't let him die!"
Everyone helped in some way to stop the bleeding. After a while the bleeding gradually congested and his cuts clotted at last. Everyone settled and waited for Hige to wake. Toboe would often check if he was alive just to be safe. His breathing would be ragged and frequently heavy. Kiba made sure his cut on the throat didn't go through.
Tsume seemed to be blaming himself and everyone knew it. He would sigh often and ruffle his hair a lot. Kiba also blamed himself. Not by the fact that he couldn't be with Hige when it happened, but he couldn't stop the bleeding on time. Toboe blamed himself in the way that he didn't help much. That he cried too much and didn't help at all.
Nobody moved to get up or change positions. They all wanted to stay and make sure Hige would be okay and not die on them while up and about.
"I couldn't even kill that son of a bitch that did this to him." Tsume looked away and drew little lines in the dirt thinking deep about what was happening. "He got away before I could even get a chance to kill him. I want to go back for revenge!"
"Revenge won't help anything Tsume." Toboe looked away trying to ignore what was being said from Tsume. He just wished he wouldn't talk like that. "It won't bring him back."
"Would you just shut up?" Tsume shouted.
Just as Toboe was about to argue back, the all heard a soft cough coming from a still body on the ground. They all looked at him trying to hear if he made that noise. Hige opened his eyes and looked up towards the sky and listened. He couldn't see anyone from the position he was laying in. That and it hurt him too much to move. It hurt him to just think about it.
He then saw three figures appear over him. The only and first thing he could think to say was, "Hey."
So what do you think? Tell me what you think and stuff cause I want to know if I should continue or not. Thank you!
When Hige gets slightly wounded, he only ends up worst when he's attacked by a cougar infested with a virus. Will Hige get it?
