Chapter 3:
The Red Death
"Kilala, wait!"
Naruto shouted after his over excited partner.
"Come on, Naruto! oh, you're so slow!"
Kilala thought it was a game.
It wasn't.
"Hey...wa...wait up..."
Naruto fell suddenly, a fever was beneath his fur. Kilala slowed to a halt. The hunter stopped too.
"Naruto?"
A great whirlwind blew through the fields. Kilala ducked down to shield her eyes. When she looked up, she saw swirls of color, random and mysterious. Both Naruto and the hunter were gone.
"Where am I?," she asked the swirls.
"Your in my world."
A male woice called calmly to Kilala.
"Who are you? show yourself!," Kilala kept her voice calm and demanding.
"Calm down, puppy. Your friend is dangerously ill. I can help him, but only if you help me first."
"What is it that you want? what does he have?"
The voice chuckled, and a Timewolf appeared in front of her.
Kilala tensed. He swamped her by at least a foot or so, and his markings didn't help make him look any less intimidating. He had a dark blue mane that stretched down to the middle of his back. His tail showed wavy, delicate patterns, ending in sharp sword-like points. His legs showed similar patterns, but the patterns swirled together to create a dark blue sock on each foot. His shoulders, lower back and belly were layed bare.
His eyes were absolutely red.
"What's wrong with my friend!," Kilala was loosing her patience.
"I can help you, but first, you have to help me."
Help a Timewolf ? That's never a good thing. Only one answer to that;
"No"
He chucled. "I had a feeling."
Suddenly, he lunged forward, grabbing Kilala by the scruff of her neck. He began to shake her violently. Kilala stuggled to free herself. Her claws were sharp, and although dogs don't use their claws to fight, they were her only option. Turning on her side slightly, she managed to reach his neck. This was hard, seeing as he was still shaking her. Positioning her claws in a way where he would make her scratch him, Kilala found a way to fight back. The Timewolf dropped her, surprised by the attack. Kilala took her chance and lunged for his neck. Gripping it tightly, she wrestled him down.
"Who are you?!," Kilala screemed through her fur filled mouth. Her words were slightly muffled.
Sensing the death in her voice, he answered quickly;
Meanwhile, Naruto was just days away from death's door. His fever got worse by the minute. Weakly he called for his lost friend;
"...Ki...Kilala...where...are...you?"
And with that I leave you here! I am very aware of the short chapters, there is a reason behind all of that, but I won't tell you. Get over it ;p!
