So sorry for the wait…here's chapter three! Sorry about the paragraphs too.(You'll see what I mean)

Chapter 3- The New City With More Wolves

The previous night the three wolves had enjoyed themselves completely under the full moon. They had got to know each other a little bit more too. Mostly just their likes and dislikes, not much though. Anara and Kanzen's wounds had healed also. A bit past midnight they had gone to sleep, thinking it was best because they had a long way to go before they reached the next city. Kanzen was the first to awake. He stretched his legs and yawned then looked around him. He saw Anara still asleep not too far away from him but he didn't see Hikiro anywhere. 'Where did he run off to?' he thought making his way over to Anara. He tried to wake her but to no avail.

"Come on, wake up already," he said nudging her," I can't find Hikiro anywhere," her eyes finally opened slowly as she stood up and stretched as he did.

"What about Hikiro?" she asked lazily.

"He's not here," Anara looked at him confused then looked around her self.

"Where do you think he went?"

"I don't know, maybe he left," Kanzen said not really caring.

"Why would he though, he said he would come…" she said a bit disappointed.

"What does it matter anyways, he'd probably just slow us down the way he was acting last night."
"But didn't you see him after I talked to him?! He was happy," Anara yelled. Just then there was rustling in the bushes near by. The two got into a fighting stance ready for whatever came out. Of course out of the bushes came Hikiro with a deer between his jaws. He looked at the two awkwardly.

"What?" he questioned as Anara's face turned to pure relief and Kanzen's was that of annoyance.

"Oh nothing," Anara said as she trotted over to him," so that's where you went, to get food?"

"Yeah, thought we would need it," he answered dropping the deer from his grasp.

"Thanks," she said.

"No problem, well let's eat, come on Kanzen!" he called over. Kanzen glanced over at the two then mumbled something as he made his way over. They began to eat until there was nothing left.

After they finished their meal the three took off, to the next city. On the way there they were silent. They stopped a few times Anara trying to strike up a conversation only to fail. They decided to stop one more time before they thought they would reach the city.

"Hey you guys," Anara started putting up her human illusion," what do you think the city's going to be like?" she was once again trying to start some kind of conversation.

"How are we supposed to know?" Kanzen said sounding annoyed as he put up his illusion as well.

"A guess maybe, geez," those two were grouchy when it came to traveling.

"It's probably dead and has a bunch of useless humans there just like the last," Hikiro stated, also in his human illusion.

"I was expecting a more positive answer," Anara replied looking in the other direction.

"We should start off again," Kanzen said getting up.

"Do we hafta run more?" Anara complained," why don't we just stay in this form? We're almost there anyways." Kanzen sighed.

"Fine," he mumbled as the three once again ran off.

"I'm not used to this," Hikiro complained.

"Will you two stop complaining?! Geez!" Kanzen pleaded going ahead of the two.

"Someone's not very happy," Anara whispered to Hikiro tauntingly. Hikiro smiled then ran to catch up with the brown wolf ahead of him. 'A new family, it's a start,' Anara thought as she picked up the pace to catch up herself.

The gates to the city were wide open and shining silver from the sun's rays. Hikiro, Kanzen, and Anara walked through them wearily. Everything seemed in place and the city itself was an okay looking one.

"This is a lot nicer than I thought it'd be," Hikiro said with his hands behind his head.

"Yeah I know, I thought this place would suck just as bad as the others," Kanzen put in. Anara was in between the two, Kanzen to her left and Hikiro to her right. She looked down to the ground getting lost in thoughts she had. 'Why does this place seem so familiar?' she asked herself. 'Have I been here before? I can't remember.'

"Hey, are you ok?" she heard Hikiro's voice ask as she shot her head up. He was waving his hand infront of her face as she had done to him.

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine," she said in a less cheery voice than usual but she put on a fake smile.

"Ok, if you say so," he replied as he focused his attention to the front of him again. She looked back down at the ground then to the front of her. The three turned into the next alley way to discuss what they were going to do while they remained there which wasn't going to be long.

"So I'm gonna check out how far away the next city is," Kanzen said.

"I'll find something to eat," Hikiro said.

"And I'll check around for nobles," Anara said.

"We'll meet back here in two hours," Kanzen stated and he jumped up to the roof above them. Hikiro took off in one direction and Anara another.

With Kanzen…

'Who to ask first,' Kanzen thought as he made his way over to a civilian.

"Uh, excuse me, do you know how far away the next city is?" he asked stopping the man.

"Well there's one up north a few miles away from here," the man replied.

"Do you know the name of it?"

"No I don't, sorry. How are you planning on getting there?"

"I'm going to walk," Kanzen answered as he walked away. The man stood there dumbfounded. 'Maybe I should have told him about the snow storms they have out there,' the man thought but shrugged it off and continued on with his day. Kanzen continued to ask people about the up coming city. There was another one up North by the name of Sorano city. There was some kind of rumor or legend about the city which gave it its name. However, Kanzen didn't get any details whatsoever…

With Hikiro…

Sigh…This couldn't be more boring for him…Why was he the one who had to find food? Why couldn't he have gone looking around for nobles? Or asking about the next city? Then another thought hit him; why were he and Anara listening to Kanzen? He was about a year younger than those two, not that it really mattered, but they hadn't decided for a pack leader yet. Hmm…Oh well, what was done was done and he still had to go find something for the three to eat anyways. It wasn't too hard either seeing that this place was full of humans, and hungry ones at that. He stopped at a store that looked like it had descent food so he went in and bought some. He had a little money from the last city, money that he stole from weak humans like those ones that ambushed him before he left. Now that he was done getting the food he decided to look around not knowing exactly how long they were going to be here anyways. The city seemed very calm and peaceful, which was hard to believe. He past a few pet dogs that cowered down before him. Ha, they knew who dominated. They were locked up and kept under control of the humans while the wolf was wild and free to do as they please…well not everything but that's not the point. He continued on until he saw a noble. 'What the hell? I haven't seen one of 'em yet, I thought if I were to see one I would see like five but just one throughout the whole city. Wonder if Anara's seen any yet…'

With Anara…

'I haven't seen one noble yet, is that how peaceful this place is? The other was crawling with them…Well I seem to be in a good position to look around, actually I'm kinda supposed to be, but, oh screw it I'm gonna look around. I still have like an hour and a half left,' she thought as she continued walking through the city looking at all the tall buildings and whatnot. She diverted her attention to the ground a few seconds later,' I still don't get why this place seems so familiar. Have I been here before? I asked myself the same question earlier. Damn, I don't know. An old pack place maybe? No, that can't be…Hmm,' she was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice the boy running right towards her. Then in a flash Bam, they collided, both on the ground. Anara recovered first and looked at the one she ran into as she got up. It was a boy a bit younger than herself. He had shoulder length brown hair and wore a reddish long sleeved shirt and camouflage colored pants with boots.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" he said getting up," my name's Toboe, what's yours?"

"I'm Anara and by the way you're a wolf aren't you?" she asked keeping her voice low.

"Um, yeah and you are too. I'm glad I got to meet another one of us!" Toboe exclaimed smiling brightly.

"So why are you way out here all by yourself?" Anara questioned.

"I'm not alone, my pack is with me, just not here with me, but there somewhere in the city," he replied.

"So you don't know where they are?"

"Yeah pretty much," he said rubbing the back of his neck embarrassed.

"I can help you find them; I don't have anything better to do," Anara said remembering that she still had awhile to do whatever until she had to meet up with the others.

"Ok! Then you can meet everyone! Come on let's go!" Toboe said excitingly as he walked off with Anara close behind.

With Hikiro…

'Damn, how did he know I was a wolf?!' Hikiro was now running through the city still in his human form, from a noble. The noble he just spotted to be exact. He dodged people in the streets as many had shocked looks on their faces as the two went by. The noble didn't attack, for there were too many people, and Hikiro was grateful for that. He made a sharp turn in an alley way and jumped off the wall onto the roof as the noble shot at him, missing by an inch. 'I have to find the others…' he continued to run along the roofs glancing down every once in awhile to see if the noble was down there. He followed his nose and eventually picked up Kanzen's scent and followed it. He stopped suddenly when he heard a howl. 'Who was that? It wasn't Kanzen or Anara's. Are there other wolves in this city? It's hard to make out with so many humans around,' he turned back and continued to follow Kanzen's scent. He finally saw him in the place they decided to meet up at. He jumped down infront of him scaring the crap out of him.

"What the hell Hikiro!?" Kanzen yelled. He then noticed he was breathing heavily," What's up?"

"There's a noble here and he can tell we're wolves even if were in our human illusion," Hikiro explained. Kanzen's eyes widened a bit but then went back to normal.

"I've heard of this before, he must be here cause there are so many people in this city," Hikiro nodded.

"We should go look for Anara so we can leave before we get captured," he said and the two took off, searching for their friend.

With Anara and Toboe…

"Maybe you shouldn't have howled," Anara said as she dragged behind Toboe.

"Yeah, I guess so. Do you think there close, Anara?" he asked as they turned a corner.

"I don't know," she replied. Toboe could talk forever for all she knew. He had so much energy and she just smiled at him. She remembered a little bit when she was a pup; she had a lot of energy too. Toboe stopped suddenly causing Anara to stop before the two landed on the ground like before. His face brightened up as he saw his pack walking a few feet ahead of him.

"Hey you guys!" he shouted and they all turned and made their way over. Other than Toboe there were four other wolves and a girl. That girl, there was something about her.

"Where did you go squirt?" one of the males asked. He was a chubby light brown wolf with a collar hanging around his neck. In his human form (which they were all in) he wore a yellow hoodie and light blue pants. The collar still hung loosely around his neck. He was busy giving Toboe a noogie that he didn't notice Anara, but the others did. Anara was only focusing on the two infront of her and not the others. Toboe finally got out of the other wolf's grasp.

"This is Anara, she helped me find you guys, she a wolf like us," Toboe introduced her. She waved slightly and smiled. Four out of five of the wolves were listening.

"Hi there," the wolf that had come up to Toboe said.

"Umm, hi," she replied nervously. She looked at the others. There was a black wolf with a hint of blue in her fur, she being the only female wolf in the group. There was a white wolf like herself, who she eyed for awhile. And last there was a gray wolf who seemed bored with the whole situation. 'Wait, who is he?' Anara questioned herself then it hit her.

"Tsume?!" she said shocked. He turned his head to look at her for the first time. Shock came over his face.

"You!" he yelled and dropped his human illusion and he ran at her. She did the same and got out of the way," I thought you were dead you bitch!" he growled as the two stared each other down.

"I'm pretty alive don't you think? So how have you been?" she asked sarcastically, her voice angrier than when they first met her.

"Your attitude's still the same, I'm going to kill you once in for all!" Tsume growled.

"No, Tsume wait! You can't kill her!" Toboe shouted.

"Stay out of this Toboe, this is between me and him," Anara said as she jumped at Tsume and bit into his shoulder. He knocked her back and aimed for her back but bit her back instead.

"Anara!" she heard a familiar voice call out. Standing a few feet behind the group was Hikiro and Kanzen.

I am so sorry for the long wait! Gomen Nasai!!! Hope you like this chapter the other will be up soon…hopefully…
