Disclaimer: Ok, This will be my final time saying this. I do not own Wolf's Rain. But I do own all my characters.
Running Like Water
Chapter 3: Wolf Greetings
Last time:
"I don't know Cypress," said the white," he reeks of human."
The one known as Cypress glared at him.
"That doesn't mean a thing!!!!" She shouted.
The three started circling the two. Saliva dripping from their glossy fangs.
"I don't know," said the red," maybe we should kill him while he's weak."
The three closed in on the two, a look of kill burning in their eyes.
Continuation:
She lowered her head and flattened her ears. She showed her teeth and let out a snarl. She snapped at the caramel's foot. He let out a small whine and took a few steps back. Cypress snapped again.
"Come on Cy," whined the caramel," we were just joking around."
"Then step away, or I swear I'll tear you to shreds."
The three cleared a path for her. The white glared as they passed through.
"Stay here," ordered Cypress.
Tsume sat down on the ground and leaned against a rock. Cypress disappeared inside the cave.
Tsume closed his eyes, hoping to shield the blinding sun. A shadow appeared above him. He opened his eyes and saw the three standing there. Their arms crossed.
"So pretty-boy, what do you think your doing with my girl?"
Tsume just stared at him.
"Listen here, punk," growled the white, picking Tsume up by the neck," you answer when I'm speaking."
"Then answer this!" Tsume kicked the white right in the nuts. The white released Tsume, and dropped to his knees in pain. When he recovered, he looked very pissed.
"Why you-"
"What is going on here?"
They all turned to see a wolf standing there. He was solid black with golden eyes. Cypress stood behind him.
"Well Chief, this punk over here was trying to pick a fight with me," answered the white.
The white stared behind the black, and watched Cypress help Tsume to his feet.
Jealously burned inside.
He was soon brought out of thought as the black spoke.
"Gado, you and the boys have hunting duty tonight."
"What?!?!" shouted the white," why don't you make the newbie do it to show us his loyalty."
The black lowered his gaze. "Are you questioning my leadership, Gado?"
Gado stared at the black for a moment, then stormed off into the woods. The other two following.
The black turned his gaze over to Tsume, who was now sitting on a log.
"Cypress told me all about your ankle,"
"Good for her," mumbled Tsume.
"Lay it out here, and I will relocate it."
Tsume did as he was told, and embraced himself for pain.
The black put his hands on each side of Tsume's foot.
"This is going to hurt a little," he warned.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
A scream echoed through the forest.
"What was that?" asked Hige looking around.
"Forget about," said Kiba,"we need to find shelter."
Toboe walked at the very back.
" I can't believe it. Tsume is actually gone. I knew he was strong, and wouldn't die that easily,guess I was wrong."
"Shake a leg, runt."
"I'm not a runt!!"
Tsume sat there, pain written all over his face. He was holding his foot in his hands, and had his eyes squinted closed.
"Gah, you didn't have to pull my foot off!"
"But I didn't."
"Well, it sure as hell felt like it!"
Cypress slapped him in the back of the head.
"What was that for?"
"No cussing," she hissed.
"Sheeeesh, I'm not even part of this pack, and I'm getting ordered around. And by a girl? I am getting soft."
"Now, isn't that better?"
"Not really," groaned Tsume.
"Good, good." Smiled the black.
"How is that good?" snapped Tsume.
The wolf just chuckled and entered his cave.
Cypress heard Tsume mumble things like "gizzard" and "old fart".
"Let me introduce you to everyone," volunteered Cypress.
"The black is the alpha, Nova, and he's also my father. My mother, the alpha female, is inside the cave. Her name is Kiva. And then the three boneheads you just met were, Gado, Unari, and Kage. Gado was the white, Unari was the caramel, and Kage was the red.
"Well, it looks like you are one big happy family," stated Tsume sarcastically.
Cypress rolled her eyes.
Evening
"Here you go, son," said Nova handing Tsume a fish. "Eat so you can regain your strength."
Tsume jumped to his feet.
"Listen here, old man!!" Tsume's face was inches from Nova's.
" I don't take orders from no one!"No way, no how. Never have, never will."
"I can see that," said Nova standing.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Nova didn't answer and kept walking towards the cave.
Tsume growled and sat back down on the log. He started to pick at his fish.
"And to think I'll be like that one day."
