I realize I did not put a disclaimer in the first chapter so wolfs rain does not belong to me it belongs to whomever made it! I only own Rika! Sorry it's so late the only access to a computer is at school and even that is limited cause they can decide whether were allowed to go on the internet. Also in this chapter I realize that Ghel's death, and Cheza being happened in different days, but I'm….mushing some days together. Some other stuff might be out of place but I don't really have access to the show.
Recap
Ghel had come in while Tsume and the white wolf had been fighting. He had swung his wrench at the white wolf causing him to pause but still run away, but not before sending one last glare and me and Tsume.
End recap
Ghel looked back at Tsume and stared for a moment "Your bleeding…" He observed, reaching out to wipe the blood off Tsume's forehead.
"Don't touch me Tsume yelled slapping Ghel's hand away.
I stopped listening there, I was used to Tsume talking to other humans this way and I didn't like hearing it. Glancing up I saw Tsume walking off. Turning to Ghel I licked his hand trying to bring him comfort. Looking up at him I tilted my head to the side whining,
Ghel kneeled down next to me and wrapped his arms around my neck, burying his face in my fur. "I know your there with him, but I just wish he'd open up to someone who could talk…"
'You don't know the half of it…' I thought to myself.
Getting up Ghel wiped his face clean of tears. Patting my head he said that he would see me later.
Turning I sought out Tsume's scent. Following it I ended up walking through an alley way. Hearing growling I looked up to see, Tsume standing with a young boy that smelled of wolf, with a man and a gun and the dog from before staring at each other.
"Tsume?" I uttered quietly while tilting my head.
That seemed to get the attention of the old man; he cocked his gun and aimed for the boy. The boy gasped and Tsume ran and tackled the man, clamping down on his wrist. Tsume jumped back while grabbing the boy. They jumped up the building to the roof.
Meanwhile the blue dog sprinted at me. I turned tail and ran; I admit I'm not very good at fighting. She chased me all the way up some stairs and across connected roof tops. Stopping at the edge of the building we were running across I looked over the edge she had chased me to. It was a long fall
.
'I guess I have no choice but to fight…'Turning around I barely dodged an attack aimed at my paws, making her the one at the edge. Leapt at her and we fell over the edge, snarling and biting at each other. We landed in a pile of boxes, the fall knocking her out. I leapt out of the boxes, and past the swarming humans.
Getting around a corner I halted to take count of my injuries. I had a long cut on my right fore-leg that was bleeding slowly. Slowly limping forward I started to make my way to our fort; we had an up and coming raid later that same after noon.
*Outside the raid site*
Tsume is making me sit outside and wait for him to come back with the others. I was worried about Ghel…he had somehow talked Tsume into letting him come along.
Suddenly I heard rapid gun fire inside the building. Standing anxiously I trotted to the opening. Tsume's gang started pouring out of the entrance. Looking around I notice that Tsume was nowhere to be found, after everyone had filed away I slowly walked in. trying to catch Tsume's scent, I found a flowery on instead. Forgetting all about Tsume I followed this new one instead.
I snuck past several guards' that were running around frantically. Walking near a doorway where the scent was strongest a black and pink blur flew by me, taking the flowery scent with it. Curiosity got the best of me and I gently loped after it. I passed a few doorways and out of the building.
An earsplitting noise brought me down to the ground in pain. I pulled my paws over my ears. As suddenly as the sound started, the sound was gone. Getting up I stood confused at what had happened in only brief seconds. I then decided the flowery smell wasn't worth the pain my ears had suffered and didn't want to risk it again, and would go back to the fort.
Finally finding my way away from any bright artificial light I saw it was incredibly dark outside. Now Tsume had always taught me to find shelter at nighttime to avoid trouble for others, and for myself. So I followed his teachings, and found the nearest alleyway for the night. At the back of the alleyway I found a dry cardboard box big enough to curl up in. I stayed the night there.
*The next Day*
Bright light filtered through my eye lids bringing me awake. Opening my eyes I yawned largely exposing my sharp canines. Squabbling from noisy crows caught my attention, getting up I walked to the opening of the alleyway, and turned the corner. There I saw crows swooping down on a cinnamon colored wolf with silver bangle's on this right foreleg.
From what I could tell the wolf was rooting through garbage for food. The crows, being the annoying birds they are kept taunting him. The wolf gave up and trotted away. Being that the wolf was looked no older than me, I walked up to him carefully of course Tsume told me to never let my guard down. The wolf looked at me, and I stated.
You know you're a wolf right? Those crows didn't stand a chance against you."
His eyes looked surprised, as if not expecting me to speak to him.
"You're a wolf to?" he said, turning to me fully.
Before I had a chance to respond footsteps were heard, and a potato landed at his paws. We both looked up to see where it had come from. A young human girl was standing there looking about our age. She bent to get the vegetable from the ground, while keeping an eye on us. The wolf next to me stood and whined with puppy eyes. The human girl with eyes full of sympathy looked at him and pulled a few sausages from her bag of food, my stomach grumbled at the sight they both looked at me in surprise. I looked away.
"Here for both of you." She said.
The brown wolf warily took the meat from her hand. My ear flicked hearing a yelling in the distance. The girl looked up and ran, with one more glance at us. The wolf turned back to me with the sausages, and dropped a few at my paws, before eating his. I quickly ate mine.
"my names Toboe, what's yours?" He asked me.
I looked at him "Rika, my names Rika."
"That's a really pretty name!" he exclaimed.
I blushed under my fur "thanks. Toboe's pretty unique to…"
Toboe glanced away.
My ear flicked in the wind, hearing Tsume howling, calling me back. Toboe looked at me. " Hey I gotta go my papa's calling me back… I'll see you later?"
"Yeah, see you later Rika!" he smiled widely.
I trotted away down the corner, and glanced back one more time at hi, before running off.
I quickly trotted back to the giant tree, our base, but found no one there. I sniffed out Tsume out to his room and found him sulking. Coming to a halt, panting, I sat in front of him.
"Hey Tsume, where is everyone? Where's Ghel?" I inquired
Tsume looked at me with brooding eyes. "They all left…"
My ears drooped a little;"….where's Ghel?" Ghel wouldn't of left Tsume on his own choice something was wrong.
"Ghel's dead." He looked away.
My ears pressed flat against my head, eyes tearing up, I stepped back. Going to a corner I sat stiffly, and then fell to the ground tears running down my face fur. I heard Tsume sigh and then his footsteps. He shifted to his grey wolf form and laid down behind me, curling his tail around me, comforting me as I cried for what in my eyes was my almost brother.
Tsume licked behind my ears in an attempt to placate me. My tears dried as I slowly fell asleep, my papa curled around me, protecting me.
*The next day*
I stayed with Tsume the whole day after I woke up. I followed him around with a gloomy cloud hovering over me. He had told me about Ghel's death, and about how he had told the gang to go away and find a new place.
That day we sort of lounged around most of the day until we had found we had run out of supplies, and then we went to steal some. On the way getting back Tsume had got shot at and it just barely grazed his arm, but it still bled. We slipped into the sewer and made our way back to the fort.
When we had got back one of Tsume's old member was there waiting. He told us that he had alerted the troops as to where our whereabouts and that they were coming fast. Then he left. We didn't really worry about them, for now.
*Later*
Me and Tsume were leaning against a wall, his cut had scabbed over. We were eating some burgers when the door slammed open. I stood up startled, there at the door stood Toboe!
He looked back out the doorway and announced, "These are them!" before trotting over to me and nibbled playfully on my neck fur, urging me to play. I pretended to ignore him before tackling him to the ground where we wrestled, while the other wolves talked.
All of a sudden from outside guns started being fired at our building forcing us to hide for cover.
