Yay!!!! My first fic is finally here!! Okay... be nice; I'm proud of what I wrote and it IS my first one! :3 Enjoy!!

The wind felt like a splash of freezing water as the four wolves- Kiba, Tsume, Hige, and Toboe- walked across the frozen tundra. All they could see was white for miles and miles, like there was nothing but snow in the entire world. Kiba and Tsume were vying for the lead, and Hige was walking jauntily after them, but, yards behind them, Toboe was left to ponder over his thoughts at the back of his pack.

As he walked slowly across the frigid, snowy ground, the brown wolf stared questioningly at his paws, listening to his bracelets chinking softly around his ankle when he walked. He looked at them as if he was trying to see something more than just his brown paws.

Is it really worth it? Toboe thought to himself. Sometimes don't think so. Tsume says Paradise is just a fable, a legend. But then, why did he come with us? Kiba is positive this place exists, though.

What do I think? I don't know anymore. I thought I used to know; I wanted to believe that Paradise was real, you know, being positive. But now... after all we've been through...

I've been alone for so long. Do I even belong here? Sometimes I think about leaving. I mean, I can't fight as well as the others. I'm not as strong or brave or smart as Kiba or Tsume or Hige, either. Do I deserve to be in their pack?

The young wolf looked up to the blue sky as he thought about this. He closed his eyes. Then Toboe opened them again and went back to staring at his paws.

Yes. I deserve to find Paradise just as much as the others do. I'm not weak and I CAN fight- maybe not as well as the others, but still! We're best friends, all of us- even though sometimes it doesn't seem like it. Yes! This is my pack, OUR pack. And I love every one of them- Kiba and Hige and Tsume. So I'll stay with them, forever.

Toboe's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a taunting voice;

"Hey, Runt! Hurry up already!" Hige called.

Toboe's head jerked up from his trance to see his friends waiting for him about three yards away.

"Hey, kid! If you don't hurry up, we'll leave you behind!" Tsume yelled at him.

Kiba just stood there, waiting, and gave a small smile towards the young brown wolf.

"Wait for me, Guys!" Toboe called, running the distance to catch up with his pack.

As he raced up to them, the brown wolf smiled at his friends- the stubborn, quiet white wolf Kiba, the usually cold, scarred, grey wolf Tsume, and the cheery, happy-go-lucky tan wolf Hige.

Yes. Toboe thought, smiling from joy. This is where I belong. This is my family.

Wow... less than a page... oh, well, better start small before I go big! Well? Whatcha think? Good? Bad? R&R PLZ!!!!!!!
