The next day Kiara woke up to see that Tsume, Roy, and Damian were still sleeping around her. She looked out the window to see that the sun was just coming up. She was always one to get up early even when she was still with her clan. She decided to go out for awhile and clear her head. She hadn't realized how far she walked since she was deep in thought until she hear growling that snapped her out of her thoughts. She turned to see the source to see the same dog that attacked her and Roy. She wasn't scared of this mutt and she was ready to show it until she got shot in the same should as the day before and it brought her to knees as she held her arm. The dog was about the attack her when she saw Damian take the front of the dog attack.
"Damian!" Kiara said shocked to see him. She then saw the dog was snapping at his neck. She got up and got the dog off him before they took off towards their hideout. When they got back she saw that Tsume and Roy were up.
"Are you okay?" asked Roy.
"Yeah I'm fine. I just needed to clear my head." said Kiara. The next few months were normal until one day was chaotic and they were forced to leave the city with Kiba, Toboe, and Hige. It had been a fee days since they ate and Kiara couldn't take it since they were talking about eating each other. She got up and walked out before the others decided to go after her. Kiara was walking down a hill were she found a small lake. She went over to get a drink. She was on the edge of the lake when she saw a similar white wolf. Kiara was about to run around the lake when Tsume and the others caught up with her, but she was so focused on the white wolf. She didn't notice them approach her.
"Kiara what's wrong?" asked Toboe.
"Kiara!" said Hige. Kiara took off around the lake.
"Kiara wait!" said Kiba.
"KIARA!" said Tsume as they took off after her.
"Kiara slow down." said Roy.
"What's gotten into her?" asked Damian. They followed Kiara who was following the white wolf into a forest. Tsume was right behind her with Roy and Damian since they were use to her speed while the other three we having trouble keeping up. Kiara kept the white wolf in sight and was gaining on it until it disappeared. Kiara stopped in the middle of the forest. She looked around to she if she could see the white wolf. Tsume, Roy, and Damion, Kiba, Hige, and Toboe caught up this her.
"Kiara what happened?" asked Toboe.
"I though I saw someone I thought I knew." said Kiara.
"I didn't see anything, or smell any other wolves." said Hige.
"Well we're here we mine as well keep going." said Kiba. They continued to walk through the forest when Toboe started falling behind.
"Come on runt. Get a move on or we'll leave you behind." said Hige. Toboe ran to catch up.
"Hey don't this forest seem kind of strange to you. There aren't any animals." said Toboe. Kiara looked over her shoulder at Toboe. Then looked back forward.
"Tell be something. You do know you're a wolf, right?" asked Hige.
"Huh?" asked Toboe.
"Think about it genius. They probably ran off when they saw us coming." said Hige.
"Oh of course." said Toboe.
"This is the problem with taken city kids to the woods." said Hige.
"Lighten up Hige. You have to remember the kid has been with humans his whole life." said Roy.
"I was thinking how do we know we're going the right way." said Toboe.
"You want to give us a clue here?" asked Tsume.
"Sure." said Kiba.
"Where exactly are we heading?" asked Damian.
"To paradise." said Kiba.
"And just what the hell is guiding you there?" asked Tsume.
"I'm going on instinct." said Kiba. Tsume, Kiara, Roy, Damian, Hige, and Toboe stopped while Kiba kept going.
"Great." Kiara mumbled.
"Here we go again. I just wish it felt like we were getting closer. Not that I'm complaining or anything." said Hige. Kiba stopped and looked up right as the sounds of a nobles ship could be heard and everyone looked up.
"That noise!" said Tsume.
"That's an air ship. It must be one of the nobles!" said Hige.
"I hate that sound!" said Toboe covering his ears.
"Your not the only one!" said Kiara. Another ship appeared and stared firing on the smaller one. Several explosions went off and Toboe clung on to Hige.
"What's going on?" asked Toboe looking up.
"Man they're really going at it!" said Hige.
"She's there!" Kiba mumbled. He started walking forward.
"Hold it! It has nothing to do with us, say out of it!" said Tsume.
"I can feel it." said Kiba.
"Feel what?" asked Hige.
"I'm not sure, but it's so familiar. Come on don't you guys feel anything at all?" Kiba asked before he took off.
"KIBA!" Tsume shouted.
"Damn it Kiba get back here!" Kiara shouted.
"Can you?" asked Toboe.
"That guy is hopeless!" said Roy as Tsume, Kiara, and Damian took off. Roy, Toboe and Hige following close behind. The whole time they were running Kiba was looking up at the sky.
"Kiba!" shouted Tsume.
"Slow down!" said Kiara.
"Wait for us!" said Toboe.
"That sent!" said Hige as he looked up at the sky. They followed Kiba to a mountain and started climbing. "The sent is faint, but it's up there."
"Why in the hell are you so worked up?" asked Tsume.
"Awe man it's got the sink of a noble mixed in there too!" said Hige. Tsume looked down at Hige.
"A noble!" mumbled Tsume. He got that really look on his face before he looked up at Kiba.
"Hey Kiba. Hum I got this fluting feeling in my chest. Is that what you meant?" asked Toboe. Kiba nodded once.
"Let's go!" said Kiba as they continued to clime up the mountain. They started to walk through a forest.
"I don't know why, but my heart is ponding and I'm all warm and tingly inside!" said Toboe.
"This that feeling you get before pouncing on a pretty girl!" said Hige.
"Hige you pig!" said Kiara.
"Don't let your guard down, but there is a shiver up my spine too!" said Tsume. Kiara nodded and moved closer to him while Roy moved on the other side of her and Damian was behind her. They came to a lake and saw Cheza.
"It's her! It's really her!" said Hige.
"My heart just skipped a beat!" said Toboe.
"Who is that?" asked Tsume.
"The maiden!" Kiara mumbled.
"I can't believe it." said Roy. Cheza got of the rock she was sitting on and faced them. Kiba walked towards her while the others stayed back.
"Hold on!" said Tsume. Kiba walked right in front of her.
"Cheza!" said Kiba. He turned into his wolf form as Cheza bent down to pet him. She got on her knees and hugged him.
"We meet at last!" said Cheza.
"Aww I want to be held like that!" said Toboe.
"Can that really be?" asked Damian.
"Yeah. That's her. That's the flower maiden!" said Hige. They continued to walk through the forest. Kiba and Cheza were ahead holding hands. Cheza stopped and looked back.
"This way this way." said Cheza before they continued.
"That's Cheza alright. That's the flower maiden!" said Hige.
"She's a flower and a maiden! That's pretty weird!" said Toboe.
"Well the way I heard it some nobles with too much time on their hands made her from a lunar flower in a lab somewhere." said Hige.
"They made a human from a flower. Come on give me break, you really going to believe all that?" asked Tsume.
"Come she's standing right there isn't she?" asked Hige.
"Yeah and she smell's nice too like a flower!" said Toboe.
"Smell or no smell. I don't trust any of this." said Tsume.
"Even though your heart skipped a beat too!" said Toboe.
"Well I for one believe it! I mean just think about it. As crazy as I seamed at the time, Kiba lead us straight to this place on instinct or whatever you want to call it right? Even if it was some big coincidence at least it finally feels like we're one-step closer." said Hige.
"It sure does!" said Toboe.
"Either way you look that she's really not my type at all." said Hige. Kiara and Tsume glared at him. "It's such a bomber!" They got to the warn down castle. Kiba and Cheza walked off. Hige and Toboe ran into the chamber that Kiba and Cheza were in. "Kiba we're in serious trouble! I smell humans all over the place!"
"I think we're surrounded!" said Toboe. Kiara, Tsume, Roy, and Damian ran into the chamber. They stopped and Tsume glared at Cheza. Cheza turned around and Tsume look softened as Kiba stepped in front of her.
"No! It wasn't her!" said Kiba.
"Come on guys we don't have time for this! We have to escape!" said Toboe.
"What do you mean escape? We're surrounded! Where the hell are we suppose to go?" asked Hige. Cheza got up and started walking away. Kiba took a minute, but follower her.
"Where are you going?" asked Tsume.
"Kiba!" Kiara shouted.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" asked Hige. Kiba just kept walking with Cheza.
"I guess not!" said Kiara.
"What do we do?" asked Toboe.
"We don't have much of a choice!" said Tsume as he ran off with Kiara right behind him.
"Come on!" Damain said before he followed Tsume and Kiara.
"Looks like we're fighting our way out." Roy said before he follows Damian.
"Kiba's lost it this time!" said Hige as he followed them.
"Kiba wait for me!" said Toboe as he ran to catch up with Kiba and Cheza. Kiara, Tsume, Roy, and Damian, and Hige kept attacking the humans until the came across a wall of gunfire forcing them to hid behind a wall.
"Man look at all those guys!" said Hige.
"Damn it!" said Tsume as he took off the way they came with Roy and Damian.
"Come on let's find another way!" said Kiara as she followed them with Hige right behind her. Kiba, Cheza, and Toboe were walking down a hall until they ran into two soldiers. Kiba pushed Cheza behind him and attacked them. They hid behind a wall as five other soldiers were shooting at them. Kiara, Tsume, Roy, and Damian, and Hige took them out.
"We're totally screwed! They got that end completely blocked off!" said Hige.
"What do we do? If we left her here, we could get away." said Tsume.
"Forget it!" said Kiba.
"This isn't helping our cause!" said Kiara.
"Guys!" said Toboe. They looked over and saw Toboe waving them over before he disappeared through a doorway. Kiba, Roy, Damain, Kiara, Tsume, and Hige ran over to see Cheza down the hall.
"This way!" said Cheza. Without a second guess Kiba ran after her leaving the others behind. Tsume grabbed Kiara's hand and went after them followed by Roy, Damian, Toboe, and Hige. They ran into another chamber which was a complete dead end.
"What the hell!" said Hige.
"It no use! There is no way we could get out of here!" said Toboe.
"We could always try surrendering!" said Hige. Tsume, Roy, Damian, and Kiara just glared at him causing him to throw his hands up. "Kidding! I'm kidding!" Cheza put her hand on the wall and it began to glow and from out of nowhere a doorway appeared.
"This way!" said Cheza.
"Where did that giant hole come from?" asked Damian as Kiba walked over to Cheza.
"The wall just moved!" Roy said as the wall started to close.
"Hey I'm not complaining! Let's get out of here!" said Hige as he and Toboe follow Kiba and Cheza. Toboe stopped and looked back to see Tsume, Kiara, Roy, and Damian still standing there.
"Guys come on!" said Toboe. Kiara gripped Tsume's hand tighter as the followed them right before the hole closed.
