(Well, here's Chapter 2. I am soooo sorry for the long awaited wait of this story. I promise this ISN'T as long as the first chapter. Please enjoy, and let me know what you think. Note: Wolf's Rain chacactors are NOT mine, the few characters in this story do belong me. Furthermore, if you do NOT have anything nice to say, take it else where. Hope you all enjoy, please R&R. Will have chapter 3 up soon :) )

Tanya walked out of her bathroom with her stuff packed, setting her bag on the bed, walking to her closet grabbing a suitcase rushing to the bed knowing her dad would be home soon. Grabbing all the clothes from the hangers walking to the bed placing coat hangers and all in the suitcase, walking to her drawers opening them. Hearing the door shut, she froze for a moment looking to her bedroom door. Turning she grabbed a handful of clothes placing them in the suitcase.

"What the hell are you doing?" a stern voice spoke up. Tanya turned her head suddenly looking to her father, she let go of her clothes laying in her suitcase.

"I'm leaving" she spoke. He just starred at her.

"With who?" he asked.

"I'm going by myself" she spoke. Her father stood their starring at her. He sighed shaking his head turning walking away. Tanya starred the doorway arching an eyebrow, wondering if that was all he was going to say, or if he was planning on doing something. Tanya turned her head as she hurried packing the rest of her things, grabbing her suitcase and her bathroom bag she walked to her door slowly walking out down the hallway. Hearing the TV, she walked past the living room quickly, walking to the door walking out. Closing the door behind her, she ran down her steps quickly, walking down the side walk. Stopping, she looked behind her, sighing deeply, much more in relief, she turned heading to her grandmothers.

Opening the fridge, I placed a few drinks with other cold items, than leaned up opening the freezer putting a couple pizzas and a few other odd and in things. I walked around the counter to the island counter going through the rest of the snacks and what not. I threw away the remaining plastic bags, looking to the deck as I headed to the glass door walking out. The warm sun was in high in its spot in the sky. It was a warm day, being at the beach made it even more all the better. I slowly walked to the railing barefoot, the wood was warm from the sun. I leaned my arms on the railing, looking to the ocean that laid out in front of me. The sky was a clear blue, the water looked beautiful, you could see straight down to the bottom. I smiled softly, closing my eyes for a moment as a calm breeze came and went slowly. A few loose strands of my grayish blue wavy hair danced about my face and neck gently in the breeze. Opening my eyes slowly, sighing softly, I leaned back placing my hands on the railings. I slowly turned from looking to the Ocean, turning walking back inside leaving the door open behind me. Walking to the fridge grabbing a drink, I popped the top as Tsume walked in from the front door with another 2 bags, I arched an eyebrow looking to the bags.

"Cheesecake" he spoke. I grinned as he made his way to the fridge. Kissing me as he walked passed me, he leaned down placing the desert in the fridge. I took a long sip of my drink as he grabbed a beer, looking to me. He smirked as I arched an eyebrow grinning as well.

"What?" I asked. Tsume shook his head walking over to me, setting his beer on the counter beside me, placing his hands on my waist. I smiled looking to him, leaning to me he kissed me deeply. Setting my drink down beside me, wrapping my arms around him as we kissed. Gently leaning back, Tsume leaned his head against mine. I leaned close against him hugging him, his arms wrapped around me holding me close to him.

"I love you" he spoke softly. I cuddled against him, taking a deep breath. I loved it when he held me like this, everything seemed to disappear.

"I love you too" I spoke up. After a few moments, Tsume leaned back. Looking at each other, Tsume kissed my forehead leaning back, grabbing his beer.

Opening my apartment door with my suitcase behind me in tow, I walked all the way in turning kicking the door closed with my foot. Turning to view my apartment after being gone for a week. I stood their, letting go of my suitcase sighing walking to my end table flipping the switch as the evenings sky began fill the room as the light began dissipate. I felt tired, and glad to be home. The vacation was wonderful, but it was always good to be home. Walking towards the phone hitting the TV power button as it clicked on. Looking to my answering machine, sighing deeply hitting the play button. Two from Kat, and one from the idiot. I grabbed the phone not knowing the work schedule for the week calling Joe walking to my suitcase.

I sat on my bed gently stretching my arms above my head, having to work in the morning, and Tsume had to work tomorrow as well, I figured I'd stay at my own place and relax and pass out early from the vacation. I sighed deeply looking to the TV looking to a commercial as it ended and the TV show started back up again. I turned looking to the time being almost 9, feeling tired. I leaned back gently, suddenly stopping as my chest started to hurt. A little worse than any time before. Sighing, deciding to go to bed. I turned the lamp off, than grabbing the TV remote turning the TV off. I leaned back against the pillows and sheets, cuddling against the sheets. I turned on my side, my chest throbbing from the pain. Sighing deeply, I wish it would go away, and that it wouldn't be another long night.

*A cold hand touched the side of my face, slowly opening my eyes blinking a couple times, I suddenly sat up backing up. Darcia stood, leaned down beside me. I starred at him. My face tingled from his cold fingers that had touched my skin.

"Nikcorra….this will be, the last time I ask you…come with me…" he spoke, his eyes starring into mine. I looked to his different colored eyes. For such a dark man, who wanted to ruin everything and take away so much from everyone, why did he have to be slightly good looking?.

"Why did you bring my mother into this?" I asked.

"Because she is needed as well" he spoke. I starred at him, looking around slightly, releasing I was still sitting on the stone cold floor. I let my amber eyes fall on him as he starred at me, his pale skin looked even light in the darkened area. His blue hair laid flat against his back.

"Darcia, No…" I spoke. The silence between the two of us, surrounding the whole area seemed loud.

"Nikcorra, I'm warning you…if you do not come with me, I will take action sooner or later…you will not see your mother again…" he stated firmly. I starred at him. Was he bluffing.

"Come with me, re-open paradise, and everyone will turn into wolves again, Tsume, Toboe…you'll be able to see your mother again…" he spoke.

"And if I don't?" I asked.

"You will die, if you die, the wolves die…your mother is gone, forever…and wolves, Tsume and the others, will die when you do…" he spoke. My eyes widened as he spoke.

"How can you do that…I'm not tied to them…" I spoke.

"You are more so tied to them than you may think…" he spoke.

"Aren't you part wolf as well…If I die, than you will be dead as well" I spoke.

"Yes I am, but the way you will die and the others is what you should be worried about. The others are all tied together, you, and Cheza as well…all of you will die, by my hand…one touch…" he spoke holding a hand up, his pale fingers not moving an inch. He slowly moved his hands towards me, resting a finger on my bare upper chest above my tank top.

"One touch…" he spoke, suddenly pain burst out into my chest. I cried out leaning forwards as he leaned back suddenly standing. I gripped at my chest, I felt like I could barely breathe.

"Until next time Nikcorra…think about…" he spoke. *

I sat up suddenly, I lowered my head bringing a hand up to my chest. The pain was unbearable. I cried out as if someone could hear me, but there was no one here. I felt the tears weld up in my eyes as I began crying. If I didn't go with Darcia, he would kill off everyone, and if I did, who knew what he would be capable of if he got his hands on Cheza and I, and my mom. I tried to calm myself, taking slow breaths. The pain wasn't going away. I gritted my teeth, this was getting out of control. I leaned over reaching for the lamp turning the switch looking to the time, it was ten after 2. I blinked as a couple more tears ran down my face. I sighed, bringing a hand down. My chest hurt, badly. Wrapping my arms around myself I felt lonely, vulnerable. I lowered my head bending my knees resting my head on top of my knees as I started crying again. I didn't know what to do, or think. I jumped hearing the phone ring. I lifted my head slowly looking to the phone on the night stand beside the bed. I starred at it as a couple tears fell down my face. I didn't want to answer it, knowing it was one of two people, Cheza or Tsume. I gulped, deciding to answer it. I reached over flinching from the pain, grabbing the phone.

"Hello?" I spoke, gulping down a lump of pain.

"Are you alright?" Cheza asked on the phone sounding very concerned. I gulped, debating on weather or not to let her know what was going on, though she would find out sooner or later.

"Yea..I….it was Darcia again" I spoke, my voice breaking up as my eyes watered.

"I could feel it…you ok?" she asked, sitting on the couch beside Kiba. Kiba looked to her worried, he knew this time, it was serious. Something was wrong.

"Yea I'm alright…" I spoke, cuddling against the sheets.

"Are you sure….you hurt or anything?" she asked.

"I'm fine…please don't call Tsume, really, I'm fine" I spoke. Cheza looked to Kiba for a moment, than leaned back on the couch.

"Alright, we won't…call me tomorrow ok?" she asked. I nodded my head slowly as if she was in the room with me.

"Alright" I brought the phone down hanging up. Setting it beside me on the bed. I wanted Tsume over here with me, but, I felt like me feeling like this was getting in the way. I didn't want him to feel like he had to come running every time I got like this. I shivered beneath the sheets. I lowered my head leaning my head on my knees again. Tears clouded my eyes as I closed my eyes tightly. I lifted my head after a few moments, running my fingers through my hair knowing if I didn't call Tsume, I wouldn't be able to sleep, and he would get upset if I didn't call him. I looked to the phone, I gulped hunching over slightly. The pain was getting worse. I gulped, tears in my eyes. I looked to the phone grabbing it as I dialed his number.

Tsume reached for his phone in his back pocket putting his other shoe on.

"Ello?" he asked in a rush to get out of the house.

"Tsume…" I spoke up, tears rolling down my face. Tsume paused for a moment leaning up.

"Nikcorra…..are you alright?" he asked.

"Can…you come over?" I asked. Tsume turned grabbing his keys walking to his bedroom door.

"I'm on my way out now babe, I'll be there soon ok" he spoke walking to the front door.

"Alright…" I spoke, than hanging the phone up. Setting it on the side of the bed beside me, the pain suddenly seemed to strengthen. I gulped, wrapping my arms around myself as I started crying. Thinking of taking my medicine, maybe that would help. I crawled out of bed slowly, making my way to the bathroom trying not to collapse on the floor from the pain. I stumbled against the sink, reaching for the medicine cabinet, reaching a hand up to my medicine grabbing the bottle. I glanced to myself in the mirror, I looked horrible, dark rings laid beneath my eyes, I looked pale, and just look like I didn't feel good. I glanced down to the pills, taking two out of the bottle, my hands trembling.

I popped the two pills in my mouth than grabbed the small little cup on the side of the sink filling it up halfway taking a sip swallowing the pills. I poured the rest of the water out setting it back in its spot on the sink. Turning, leaving the pill bottle on the counter of the sink, I wrapped my arms around myself making my way to the bed. I slowly crawled into bed, slowly laying on my side towards the night stand feeling cold. I shivered wrapping the sheets close around me. I closed my eyes tightly wishing the pain would go away, it hurt, so bad. I sighed deeply, hearing the door handle click as the door opened. I looked to the door as Tsume walked in, he looked to me closing the door behind me. I sat up slowly as he made his way over to me, sitting close beside me on the bed.

"You ok?" he asked looking to me, the look on his face was of concern.

"It was Darcia again…" I spoke, my eyes watering. Tsume starred at me, looking to me in the eye. My eyes teared up, the pain reminding me it was there.

"Tsume I don't know if I can handle it any more…" I spoke as a couple tears fell down my face.

"Baby, we'll be able to take care of him" he spoke gently bringing a hand on the side of my face. His fingers laid on the side of my cheek gently.

"Did he hurt you?" Tsume asked. I shook my head as he lowered his hand.

"Did Cheza call you?" I asked. Tsume shook his head.

"I could tell something was wrong…you sure your'e ok?" he asked.

"I don't know….my chest hurts really bad.." I spoke. Tsume starred at me for a moment, bringing a hand up to my forehead. His hand rested gently against my skin.

We starred at each other for a moment.

"You're hot…" he spoke, slowly bringing his hand down. My eyes watered as the pain throbbed.

"Tsume please don't let him take me…." I spoke.

"Baby I wont, he'll have to go through me first" he spoke. I wrapped my arms around him suddenly. I felt him wrap his arms around me tightly holding me.

"Baby it'll be ok…" Tsume spoke softly. I cuddled against him as I started crying. Tsume cuddled me in his arms, holding me tightly.

"Please don't leave me…" I spoke softly.

"Sweetie I will never, ever, leave you…" he spoke softly.
