Chapter One

A doe ran top speed through the forest; dodging trees, that didn't have any leaves on it, last second. Behind the doe a couple of feet was the sound of steady breathing and pawsteps of the creature chasing the doe. The deer frantic to survive leaped over a thicket, but landed hard on her left front hoof. The creature let out a low pained sound. It struggled to its feet and looked around. The animal that it was chasing was gone. The doe lowered her head and took a deep breath, its breath showing in the winter air.

Then, suddenly it heard the sound of the steady breathing once again and looked up. The doe's heart started to pick up as fear over took it. Its head turned to look behind it and saw nothing.

" Look over here," spoke a low, yet cold voice, that came from the front of the doe. Her head swung around and saw her pursuer. It was a white wolf, small in size but the doe could sense the power in it. A long tail, that swished gracefully behind him. However, it was the eyes that caused the doe not to move an inch. They were a teal color that glowed in the night. Slowly, as if not to spook the timid animal the wolf crouched down and the last thing that the doe saw was those haunting eyes.

...

The doe lied on the ground dead, its eyes staring at nothing. The white wolf was sitting looking at the sky, which was cloudy and wouldn't be showing the moon anytime soon. The sound of heavy pawsteps caused the wolf's eyes to lower and his ears to perk forward. Through the trees a shape of another wolf came forward. As it came closer the small wolf could pick out the details of the animal. It was the alpha of the pack, Yamamoto. The pack alpha was an old wolf, but still had a lot of fight left in him. He had gray fur, which was bald in some patches and his whiskers dropped downward.

His eyes were eyeing the catch and he spoke, his tone commanding even as he complimented the white wolf. " Good job, Toshiro. This deer will feed the pack well for a while."

The white wolf, Toshiro, bowed his head to the Alpha as he answered," Thank you, Alpha."

The old wolf grunted and said," I'll have an Omega come and carry the kill back to the den. Make sure he dosen't eat any of it."

Toshiro fought down a wince. There was only one Omega strong enough to carry the doe back all by himself, and it was one Toshiro didn't really enjoy being around. Yet, the white wolf only nodded and watched as his leader walked away. He shot his kill a glance. The winter months had been hard on the pack, and food was scarce. The doe that he had caught was a blessing from whatever creature watched over them.

" Not a bad catch, Toshiro," whispered a low voice, that caused the wolf to jump up and snap.

A wolf sat in front of him, watching his reaction. Silky black fur blended in with the darkness around it, but if one observed closely there was streaks of dark red in the fur. The tail was wrapped around the front paws and the ears of the wolf were perked. Toshiro always thought a wolf's eyes were alway piercing, but this wolf's eyes were unnatural. One was a sharp yellow and the other a light brown. The wolf was Ichigo, one of the Omegas in the pack.

Toshiro glared at the wolf and waited for him to look away, to bow his head in submission like an Omega was supposed to. The wolf only flicked his ear and seemed to be silently laughing at him. Toshiro stood up to add effect to his glare, but it didn't make much of a diffrence. Toshiro wasn't a large wolf, quite on the small side and Ichigo, Omega or not was almost bigger then Yamamoto.

" I wouldn't speak so formally with me, Omega," growled Toshiro, his lips curling up to show sharp and deadly teeth. The white wolf was only a Beta, but he still outranked the Omega by a lot.

The Omega only stood up and walked to the deer. Toshrio's lips lowered and he tilted his head sideways. How was only one wolf going to carry the body of Toshiro's kill? The wolf took a grab of the doe's neck and lifted it into the air. Then, quicker then Toshiro had seen any wolf do, he let go of the neck and went under the body before it collapsed on the ground. Ichigo then stood up, the deer on his back and looked at Toshiro.

The black wolf's ear flicked again and he lowered his head in submission, suprising Toshiro. " Are we ready to travel?" he asked, slowly.

Toshiro fought to keep his suprised look down and snorted. " Of course. Let's hope you don't slow us down."

With this Toshiro set off on a slow walk, showing some consideration to the wolf carrying his meal. Ichigo kept pace pretty well, even though he was carrying the doe. Toshiro was half tempted to ask if he wanted help, but didn't. He was a high ranking Beta and showing kindness to an Omega such as Ichigo would put shame on him. After a while the Omega spoke to the Beta.

" Is it alright to stop to rest, sir?"

Toshiro looked behind him and saw that Ichigo was slowing down. The white wolf sighed and snapped," We are almost to the den, can't you wait?"

Ichigo nodded and took a step forward; it was then Toshiro noticed that the Omega's legs were shaking. Toshiro looked at the ground and growled. The pack was expecting them as soon as possible, but it would take longer if the Omega collapsed on the way. Toshiro sat down and ordered," We can rest, but only for a few minutes. The pack is hungry and expecting something to fill their bellies."

The Omega dumped the doe on the ground and lied down, muttering," Of course they do."

Toshiro glanced at the lower ranked wolf, ready to put him in his place when he noticed that there was something strange about the Omega. In all honsety by the size of the wolf, he should have been able to carry the deer all the way to the den. Toshiro narrowed his eyes and observed the wolf. He was shocked to see almost all the ribs on the wolf and how ragged his fur was. The white wolf was on his feet backing away and snapped," Are you ill, Omega?"
Ichigo made an confused sound and looked at the Beta in confusion. His head tilting to the side. " Sick?"

Toshiro rolled his teal eyes and growled," I can see everyone of your ribs, idiot! Obviously, your ill. None of the other pack members look like you."

The dark furred wolf huffed and pushed himself to a sitting position. Ichigo shook his fur and wagged his tail a little. " I'm not sick, Beta. I'm only underfed."

Toshiro's fur on the back of his neck stood up and his tail stood up straight. " Are you saying that the pack dosen't feed you enough Omega?"

Ichigo lifted one of his hind legs and scratched at his side. " I am the lowest rank in the pack. Even the other Omegas outrank me," he explained.

" What's that got to do with anything?"

The two diffrent colored eyes glanced at Toshrio, before they looked away. " When we feed the Alpha eats first, then the highest ranking Betas like you eat next. Then the lower rank Betas eat. The Omegas eat the rest and that is usually enough. But I'm the lowest ranked Omega, which means that I am the lowest rank in the pack. There is not much left for me."

Toshiro snorted and said," Omegas don't have rank. They are simply Omegas."

" Does the sight of my bones lie?" With that Ichigo got the doe back on his back and looked at the Beta for a second. " Are we going, Beta?"

The white furred wolf stared at the Omega for a second. Ichigo hesitated, but met his eyes for an instant. This froze the Beta all together. When Ichigo moved his gaze away from the Omega, he waited for Toshiro to punish him. After a couple of minutes he heard the sound of the Beta's paws walking toward their goal. " Hurry," snapped the white wolf, his tail wagging slightly showing his annoyance.

Ichigo's muscles relaxed for a moment glad he wasn't getting punished. Then, he followed his packmate.

...

When, they had gotten to the pack Toshiro was welcomed with yips and happy barks. When, they saw the kill he was rewarded with compliments. Toshiro, however, paid no mind to the words. His teal eyes were glued to the Omega. He had lowered the kill to the ground and was chased away by Soi Fon, a small black Beta who was the same rank as him. When, the Omega got to the edge of the den he settled down.

The den was a big cave with the outside being a big clearing surrounded by large rocks and trees. A perfect place for the pack. Toshiro sighed and looked for his friend, Rangiku, a wolf with light red fur and furry tail, and his younger sister Momo, whose fur was light brown, mixed with dark patches. Both were Beta, but lower ranked then him. He found them talking to other Betas. He made his way to them noticing that the Alpha was starting to dig into the doe. The smell of blood caused Toshiro's mouth to water, but he fought it down. He would get to eat soon anyway.

When, he made it to his friends they welcomed him with happiness. Momo rubbed her cheek against his and said," Great job, getting the kill Shiro." Rangiku agreed, but was called by another Beta and wondered off.

Toshiro growled and said," Don't call me that." Yet, as he growled there was no real anger in his voice. Momo giggled and sat down. Toshiro joined her. Momo talked to him about nothing really, but he listened anyway. This was his sister and lower ranked then not, he would treat her well. His fur tingled though when she said," It must have been weird walking back home with that Omega, huh?"

Toshiro glanced at the Omega, who was still laying down. " Do you know anything about that Omega?"

Momo shot her brother a curious look and asked," Why do you want to know?"

Toshiro's ears went back and he stammpered," B-because, he's to big to be a normal Omega. Doesen't even look like one."

Momo looked at the Omega and agreed," He sure dosen't, but that's probably because he's from a diffrent pack." Toshiro's ears perked up and he tilted his head. Momo wagged her tail, glad to have her brother's full attention.

" They say that Yamamoto found the Omega, almost dead on night while he was patrolling. He must have had some kindness in his heart that night, because he ended up bringing the wolf home. He tried to fit in with us remember. We were all pups together, but something happened and he was pushed down to Omega rank. It probably didn't help that he dosen't have a pack scent to him. He's a strange looking wolf though, almost too big."

Then, Yamamoto let out a gruff bark telling the highest ranking Betas to eat. Toshiro was on his feet and walked to the kill. Another wolf, who looked like an exact replica barked a welcome to him and walked beside him. Juushiro was another wolf with white fur, but it was a little longer then Toshiro's. He also had brown eyes. Toshiro wagged his tail in greeting, but once they got to the kill, he dug in. The warm meat of the kill filled him quickly. It helped that he was so small, that meaned he didn't have to eat that much.

He raised his head and licked his blood covered lips. He spotted Ichigo moving to the outside of the cave. In a split desicion Toshiro bended down and ripped a slab of meat from the deer. He slinked away from the other wolves and dug the meat into a shallow hole and layed on it. He watched as the betas, including his sister dug into it. The omegas didn't leave a scrape behind as well. Ichigo came in after they had all finished eating. The white furred beta watched as the omega moved the bones around a little licking what little meat was left.

An omega Renji, Toshiro thought, who had red fur leaped at the unsuspecting omega and bite into his neck. Ichigo yelped and was brought down in shock. Renji released his grip and snarled," Who told you it was time to eat?"

Ichigo didn't fight or anything and said," There was no one else eating. I thought everyone was done."

Renji looked at the bones of the deer and said," Well, there is still some left. I'm still hungry."

A couple of other omegas agreed and rushed forward to lick the leftovers. Renji got off Ichigo and joined his other packmates. Toshiro watched all this not knowing what to feel. He had seen this before he wasn't going to lie, but it had nevered bothered him before. He was usually distracted by something else and had thought that the omega had desevered his punishment. Teal eyes glared a the omegas that feasted on the bones of his kill. Then, they returned to Ichigo.

The wolf staggered to his feet and walked away from the pack to the outside of the cave. Toshiro hesitated and looked at the Alpha and other highranking Betas. They were all talking to each other and laying down to eat. Yamamoto was watching his pack. Toshiro knew that he would soon go to the back of the cave to eat. He settled down and pretended to go to sleep.

After a while the pack settled down, each wolf curling up somewhere and sleeping. Yamamoto had gone to his sleeping place at the back of the cave. When, Toshiro was positive that the pack was asleep he stood and dug up the buried meat. Grabbing the meat Toshiro slinked to the opening of the cave. He heard the movement from one of the wolves and froze. When, everything settled down the beta took a deep breath and scurried to the outside. The cold air made Toshiro shudder, which shocked him because the cold usually nevered bothered him.

He placed the meat down and looked around. " Omega are you out here," he called softly as to not alert the pack.

There was a low bark caught his attention. He turned his head to the far end of the clearing. Ichigo was laying down, curled up as tightly as he could, but his head raised enough to stare at the beta. Toshiro glanced at the cave ready to go back inside, and forget the whole thing. His teal eyes, however caught sight of the meat he had saved. The omega had carried the kill back to the pack, he deserved something from it.

So he grabbed the meat and moved to the omega. The cold was biting at his skin, making him wonder how the wolf stood the weather. When, he got to the omega he dropped the meat. Ichigo looked at him and then growled. Toshiro took a step back; shocked by the reaction. Ichigo growled out," If your here to taunt me with that take it somewhere else. I don't need anyone else to make my life worse."

" You actually think I would do such a thing," sputtered Toshiro.

Ichigo sat down and stated," Other wolves have done it. Why not you?"

The white wolf hesitated and said," You carried the kill here. You deserve something from it." His head bowed low then and he muttered," Plus, I saw what happened witht the omegas. That's not right."

Then, Toshiro looked up and said," I will bring the matter to the Alpha first thing tomorrow."

The omega layed down and said," I don't think that will do anything."

" Yamamoto is a fair alpha. He wouldn't stand for such a thing."

" Yeah, with his pack, Beta. I'm not of this pack. I don't even have the pack scent. His kindness ran out for me when he brought me back to his pack."

Toshiro growled and felt his fur raising. " Don't talk about the Alpha that way."

The beta suddenly found himself looking the omega right in the face. " If one would look at their percious Alpha, then one would notice that he hasn't done anything to stop what is happening."

Toshiro, felt heat rising through his fur and he stepped back. " The Alpha is fair, Omega. If someone brought it up to him then it would quit I am certain."

Ichigo stared at the beta and sighed. " Thank you for the meat. I would go back into the cave if I were you."

Toshiro sat down and said," I'll wait on you. The pack is asleep so you won't be attacked by anyone."

The two diffrent colored eyes settled on Toshiro and he said," I don't think that's a good idea. I'll be fine, beta. I've slept out here all winter I'll be fine."

Toshiro huffed and said," In case you have forgotten, omega I outrank you. Eat and then we are going inside to sleep."

Ichigo huffed and bended over to eat. A low growl echoed through the clearing. Both of the young wolves' fur stood up and they looked at the head of the cave. Yamamoto was stalking to them. Ichigo seemed to grow smaller as he fell to the ground and showed his belly. Tail between legs and whining. Toshiro put his tail between his legs and lowered his head.

Yamamoto got close to them and snapped," What is going on here, Beta?"

Toshiro took a deep breath and explained," The omega got bullied from his meal sir. He didn't get a bite to eat. I thought that maybe he could use something."

Yamamoto grunted and said," Well, that seems like a problem. Stand up both of you."

They did and Toshiro glanced at Ichigo. The omega looked uncertain in this situation. Yamamoto looked at Ichigo and said," You look perfectly fine to me, Omega. The whole pack is skinner then usually, you shouldn't be any diffrent. You'll be fine."

The omega nodded and lowered his head. Yamamoto looked at the beta and said, still talking to the omega," This here is the person who brought the kill for us. I think he should have this extra piece right here, don't you think?"

Ichigo muttered," I agree."

Toshiro's eyes widened and he looked at Yamamoto. The alpha wolf was standing tall and looking at the beta with calculating eyes. Then, those eyes glared at the omega. " Well, bring him that food pup."

Ichigo grabbed the food and carried it to the beta. He dropped it and nosed to closer to him. Yamamoto looked at Toshiro and demanded," Eat."

The white wolf lowered his head and stated," I'm full, sir. I ate my fill earlier."

Yamamoto nodded and said," Still, a little extra won't hurt. Eat. I don't like wasting food."

Toshiro noticed the way the hackles on the old wolf rose and the tail stiffened. He bended down and ate the meat, slowly. The food that had tasted so delicious earlier tasted rotten now. He swallowed the last of it. When, he did he felt like he would puke it back up again. Yamamoto wagged his tail and ordered," Let's go back into the cave and rest."

The old wolf turned to go back to the cave, but Toshiro spoke once more. " Alpha, tell the omega that he can sleep inside at least."

The alpha turned and looked at Ichigo. " The night is not so cold. If the omega wants to sleep out here he can."

Ichigo shrunk and layed on the ground. " I'm okay Beta. It's been colder out here before this is nothing."

Toshiro wanted to say anything, but Yamamoto let out a low growl and walked back into the cave. The beta lowered his head and followed. Right before he entered the cave he turned back to Ichigo, who was still laying on the cold ground his back turned to the cave. The proud beta tucked his tail between his legs and wandered inside the cave.

Okay, I know that I made almost everyone the bad guy here, but there is a reason for that. They get better as the story goes along. So don't worry and don't hate, please. It all goes for the story line I've created. Thank you and enjoy the story.
