Author's notes: Chapter Two up! The rest may be slower in coming, as I'm home from college, so all my work on my laptop isn't with me. So the next chapter will most likely be up next week.

Collide- Howie Day

Sometimes it all seemed so serendipitous that the four wolves had ended up together. A fanatical dreamer, a tough loner, a carefree joker, and an introverted kid. What did they have in common, besides each other? Yet somehow they seemed to fit together, like a dysfunctional family. Now, when they settled down for the night, they no longer slept separately, but instead curled up together. Tsume would claim it was just for warmth; Hige would joke about how everyone smelled, but none of them pulled away. They fit together, like a giant jigsaw puzzle. In a crazy mixed up world, they had collided together. And maybe in such a crazy world, it was the sanest thing possible.

(D'aww. Wolfie wuv! I like this one, there's not enough cheery moments in Wolf's Rain.)

The Kill- 30 Seconds to Mars

Kiba snarled angrily at the faceless soldiers that surrounded him, even as he was felled by their shields. Those goddamn shields! If it wasn't for that weapon, he would personally rip out each of their throats; feel the warm blood gush out as their life force slowly left their still warm bodies. As they kept the torrent of blows, even after her was down. He thought it might be better just to give in to the oblivion that threatened to overwhelm him. Suddenly he heard a small voice inside him "Kiba…" it whispered, barely loud enough for him to hear. Cheza! He couldn't give up now. His eye snapped open, and with a colossal effort, he sprang off the ground, his fangs aimed for the nearest soldier. He wasn't going down again without a fight.

(This one's alright. I need to work on phrasing action sequences.)
