Wolf's Rain Fic, this will be pretty short, but it really wasn't meant to be anything more than a look into Toboe's mind. I wrote it while in Psychology, so hopefully it will make some sense.

Walk to Paradise in My Shoes

I can't stand the way they treat me. Sure, I may not be very strong, I'm the first to admit it, and sure, they may have to rescue me from time to time, and I may be the slowest, always holding them back. It's not my fault!

I hate being little. If I were big and strong, like them, I wouldn't hold them back. I'd be able to take care of myself. If I were big and strong…

Everyone I care for wouldn't end up leaving me.

The all do, inevitably. It's only a matter of time before they decide that I'm not worth the trouble. They know they'd be better off without me. Kiba, he'd be able to reach paradise quicker, he could cover more ground in shorter amounts of time. Hige, he'd have a bigger portion of food. That's all he cares about anyways, that and women. That and Blue.

Tsume? Indeed, Tsume. He'd be glad that I wasn't around to annoy him. He'd probably be less angry all the time.

I know what you're thinking. Why don't I leave? Trust me, if it were that easy, I probably would. I can't leave. I promised myself that I'd do whatever I could to help them reach it. Right now, all I'm doing is slowing them down, but someday that's all gonna change.

Someday, I'll be the one protecting them.

And then they'll be walking in my shoes.

There, just a little ficlet. Hope you enjoyed, did it while I was bored.
