Ok, Second chapter!! Thank-you so much for all the reviews, but I must state one thing, I really don't care how old ppl are supposed to be, this is my story and I really don't care. Besides, it fits well with my plot But I must thank one of my reviewers for telling the correct age of one of the Wolf's Rain characters. Thanks. Oh, and this starts out in Sasuke's POV!
I looked at the girl standing before me. She had brown hair and blue eyes, just like Kira. The only things different were the many scars covering her, I could guess, all over her body. Her eyes, were blue, yes, but they didn't have a spark, as if the soul inside was not there. I calculated how old Kira would be now and she'd be 19, about the same age as the girl in front of me.
"Kira?" I hated to ask, but I wanted to know. Was this the girl I left behind? Has she changed that much? I looked over her once more and couldn't believe it could be her. She even had the same bag she'd had seven years ago! Yet I still couldn't, didn't believe.

When he spoke my name, my heart fell to pieces. It was Sasuke! It really was! His voice had gone deeper, but it still had the same cold chill in it along with part of his mood. All I could do was nod my head, my throat had gone dry. You know when you just get lost in someone's eyes or just by kissing them, there's nothing around you but you two? That's exactly what I was going through, but I had to reply, speak at least.
"S-Sasuke?" I asked in return, stuttering slightly. He nodded his head and I couldn't hold myself together anymore. It was like someone had pulled all the seams from me and I couldn't keep myself together, physically or emotionally. I fell into him, the tears that were held back for years came pouring down my face as I hugged Sasuke as tightly as I could, never letting go.
--
I was shocked as 'Kira' fell into me, crying and hugging me. At that instant, I knew it was her. She had changed, but it was her. I hugged her back tightly and stroked her hair, putting my head against hers.
"It's ok, I'm here now. I'm here," I kept saying into her ear, hoping it would calm her, but it seemed to have the opposite effect and made her more hysterical. I looked up to see Tsume, my old 'rival', standing in front of me. He seemed shocked himself, but then took one look at Kira and sadness seemed to cover his face. I had never seen any emotion on his face other than anger or calm, and I was surprised.
"She's been through a lot you know," he spoke, but kept his eyes on Kira before he looked at me. "She used to cry in her sleep, or start yelling your name. You broke her when you left."
I nodded my head, knowing what I had done. I really didn't have a choice, but I now knew that I could've stayed all these years, and we'd probably lived happily ever after, if there was such a thing.
--
I finally pulled out of my own world and felt Tsume near. I hated to be seen like this in front of one of the pack, but I couldn't help it. This was a surprise I definately wasn't expecting. I pulled back away from Sasuke and controlled my emotions and questions as I looked over at Tsume.
"Do you think we should still grab some supplies?" I asked him, wondering what to do now. Sure, I was leader, but I wanted opinions too!
Tsume looked at me with an expressionless look as he looked from me to Sasuke. "Yes, we still need to help Blue and her pup out."
I nodded toward Tsume and then looked over at Sasuke. "Yes, of course," I replied, looking down before I headed forward with my head held high as I walked through the mass of people, some who were still screaming and yelling. It had just occured to me that Sasuke had to get back here somehow, and that must've been the shaking and why people were running everywhere. He must've popped into the city with plenty of people noticing it. Plenty of people remembering him, went through my mind and my eyes went wide. They might be after him! We'll have to hide him or something, because we don't fit in either.
I turned suddenly to face Sasuke and Tsume, whose eyes were wide as if they were talking about something I shouldn't hear. I shrugged it off as I immediately took the place as leader and made sure they both knew it.
"Tsume, you're going to have to hide Sasuke out of town while I get supplies. He looks more suspicious than we do," I told Tsume as I glanced around, feeling the eyes of many people looking upon us. Tsume looked over at me with that hard look, wondering if I would be okay. It took me a while, but his facial expressions were usually different than what he was actually trying to communicate to you.
"I'll be fine, just make sure you're both hidden. I'll get food and stuff for the pack," I told them before Tsume nodded his head and I walked off toward a small stand, making sure they turned the other way and walked toward the entrance of the town.
I walked up to the stand and glanced back, no longer seeing the two boys. I sighed as I turned back around to purchase some food of sorts. The man behind the stand handed me the bag, eyeing me with a suspicious look in his eyes. I quickly snatched the bag from him and hid myself in the crowd. I then walked over to a stand selling varieties of clothing. I figured we'd have to wait until the pup was at least a year or two in human years before we'd buy clothing for it.
I sighed as I stepped away from the stand and made my way to the entrance. I felt as if I was being followed or watched, so I cautiously and casually glanced around to see if I could spot someone, but I came up with nothing. I shrugged off the thought as I passed the gate and walked purposefully down the road. I followed Tsume and Sasuke's scent and came up to the same bush that we hid in just minutes earlier. I took a step toward the two pairs of eyes looking back at me, but I suddenly stopped and whipped my head back toward the town, eyes wide.
"Miss! Miss!" A guy yelled and came running around the bend from the town, a bag jangling out in front of him. He spotted me and stopped running and now walked toward me, holding the bag out.
"You forgot this," he replied with a smile. I tilted my head slightly, knowing something was up. I had known what I bought, and I only had one bag. I took the bag from the smiling man cautiously, wondering what was going on. The man simply smiled and turned, walking back to town.
I turned and I felt the man's gaze on my back. I had a really bad feeling about this. I made a step forward down the road, before I threw the bag as hard as I could to get it away from me. I ran toward the bushes, crouched, but what surprised me was the large 'boom' that followed. I fell to the ground, the explosion startling me so much. As luck would have it, I fell right into Sasuke.
I blushed slightly as I landed on top of his chest, our lips inches apart. I turned my head, ignoring the pleased look on Sasuke's face as I got off of him and took off running toward the pack, Tsume and Sasuke in suit.
--
I was grinning as I ran after Kira, Tsume beside me. I had seen the blush on her face, and I couldn't believe how much I had missed it. I was happy to be back with her, but now that I was back, it seemed something else was too. I had a feeling that the bomb Kira had held minutes before had come from my world. From who, I wasn't sure since the Akatsuki were no longer.
I caught up to Kira, who was in her wolf form carrying the bag of groceries and her own bag in her jaws. I grinned as she changed to her human form and she smiled at me, yet I knew it wasn't her old smile. I had a feeling that her old self was gone, but I'd have to give it a shot. I came back here for her, and I'd make sure we'd get everything straightened out.
--
I smiled over at Sasuke momentarily before I entered the cave as quietly as I could. Toboe was pacing the floor of the cave and Hige sat next to Blue, an annoyed frown on his face. I grinned at the two of them as I heard Tsume's approach behind me.
Toboe looked up at me and gave the biggest sigh of relief I have ever heard from him. I giggled slightly while looking at him with a 'wtf' expression on my face. He just dropped his jaw and walked toward me and put both of his hands on my shoulders and squeazed them lightly.
"We heard the 'boom,' now what the heck happened?" he asked in a frantic and curious voice and I glanced from his face to Hige's, which just said 'I tried to calm him.' I grinned and just looked back at the cave entrance where Sasuke stood uncertaintly. Toboe leaned to his right to see past me and a light glare shown in his eyes as he looked at Sasuke with wonder. He then leaned back to stand straight in front of me, his hands still on my shoulders.
"That is Sasuke, right?" he asked with a 'wtf' tone to his voice. I giggled again, realizing I hadn't done such an action in such a long time . . . seven years to be exact.
