'It started as a pleasant breeze, evolving to a violent storm.
Shattered windows and broken doors all collide with vicious noise.
Raging flames reach out, erasing evidence of silent lies, while
withered hearts crumble beneath smoking embers.
As quickly as this fire started, all dies down to ashes, only memories remain.' (The Kraken)
Kiba
With Darcia's teeth and claws having ripped into his flesh, his blood spilling out onto the frozen ground, he knew it over. Crying out weakly, he watched as Cheza breathed her last, and slowly disappeared. His last hope, his dream of paradise, gone. Slowly, he closed his own eyes, took one last breath, and fell into darkness.
When he had awoken, he thought he had just awoken from a nightmare! He could not believe his eyes! He was in a forest. No snow in sight, warm rays of sun breaking through the branches of tall trees, and sounds of woodland creatures surrounding him.
Getting up, he shook himself, his fur ruffling about. It had been so long since he had found himself in a forest, oh how amazing this was!
He knew he probably looked like a pup, mesmerized by the scenery, rotating his ears trying to follow all the sounds around him. Snorting, he realized he was acting like Toboe. Now that put a stop to his happy mood.
Ears drooped, Toboe, Cheza, Hige, even Tsume and Blue. All gone, no pack. He might have been a loner, but every wolf needs a pack, and his had grown on him. No longer would he hear Hige's whining for food, or Blue's quiet huffs of laughter. No more internal laughter at Tsume's (feigned) grunts of complaint. Toboe would no longer be bouncing around, full of energy and Cheza would no longer be around to calmly pet his fur.
No, he was thinking on this wrong. If he woke up, alive, after having been sure he was killed, then the others might be alive too! He would just have to search for them. A loud rumble broke him from his thoughts, well after he hunted a meal….
Belly full of rabbit, he decided that he would start his search immediately. Time waited for no man, or wolf in this case!
Toboe
Farther into the forest, a sandy colored wolf just barely an adult, was trying to figure out what happened, and what he should do.
While he had been on his own before, he was kind of disoriented. The last thing he remembers was pain, and the feeling of trying to comfort someone. For the life of him, he just couldn't remember the exact circumstances.
Well, he would just have to find his pack. Maybe they could tell him what happened…
Oh look! A squirrel!
Hige & Tsume
Just great, I finally get Blue to like me and we both die! Now I wake up, and guess what? No Blue! Oh no, instead I'm stuck with Mr. Grump, Tsume himself! Moon Almighty!
Waking up to a scratch to his nose was definitely NOT something Hige had thought of as pleasant. More so when it was not his beautiful mate, but his annoying packmate, older bitchy one, no less!
What he wouldn't give for even Toboe with all his hyperactivity, and quirky actions. Toboe would not have scratched his delicate nose!
Tsume was not happy either. Of all his packmates that he wakes up with it had to be the love-drunk, bottomless pit! How Kiba dealt with Hige's incessant whining, or his snoring, he would never know.
Talking about snoring - that's why he woke up. He was startled awake by this loud, sudden rumble. Instantly, he swiped at the noisemaker, hitting a wet nose. Cracking an eye open, he saw Hige, paw covering his nose. Knowing what was going to happen, he put his paws over his ears, closed his eyes, and prayed to whatever crazy deity that brought him here. Please end this!
Blue
If someone had asked her if she ever thought she would find herself dying and then waking up alone in the middle of the forest, she would have run from the crazy as soon as possible. Well, maybe I went crazy…
She had not had to fend for herself very much before, so she was a little wary on how she was going to survive the forest on her own. Thinking on that was making her depressed, first she lost Quent, then she died looking into the eyes of her mate. Oh Hige, I'll find you again, don't worry!
Determined, she turned around and decided to start looking for a stream, she should find water and food before anything else.
Well, what do you think?
I loved Wolf's Rain, and just re-read my manga (I like the anime better though) and decided that I would write a fanfic for it. My favorite character is Toboe, his death was the hardest on me! Oh Toboe, you sweet, sweet child!
I think the interaction between Hige and Tsume will be like brothers, or cousins, who deny liking and caring for each other, but actually really worry about the other.
