Thank's for the reviews and I am soooooo sorry that it took this long for chapter 4 to come out. I had literally no inspiration at all, but it's thanks to BlueLuna17 that this chapter came up at all so I'd like to say thank you very much to her for being so nice to me and for the inspiration her friendship unknowingly gave me :) :3 :p

Btw, this chapter is set a 9 days after the last one so they have already found Chezah and have rescued her and Blue has also joined them :)

Enjoy!

Toboe sat on a rock near the entrance of the cave and stared at Chezah and Kiba, waiting until it was time for Hige, Blue and Kiba to go hunting. Once they had found Chezah, they had decided that the safest plan was to return to the cave they had rested in previously which suited everyone just fine because they now knew the area very well and knew the safest places to hide in-case of an attack.

A few minutes later, they left and Tsume decided to go "take a leak". Toboe saw his chance and moved over to Chezah, he told her all about his strange feelings and dreams and what Hige had told him, he also told her who he had these feelings for and blushed crimson when Chezah revealed that she already knew this and that she had been sensing it for a long time.

"You should tell Tsume about your feelings for him", she said in her soft, sweet voice and before Toboe could protest, she said, "I have sensed that Tsume has been wanting to talk to you about this for quite some time but that you had been avoiding him, is this true?"

Toboe admitted that it was.

"Then you should speak to Tsume about this to see if he returns these feelings for you" she said, but for once, her soft voice did not help to comfort him one bit.

The truth was that Toboe had always known that this was up to him and that all Chezah could do was encourage him and so he decided that he would tell Tsume...tonight!

Tsume hadn't really needed to "take a leak", he just wanted to see what Toboe had to say, it was obvious that he had been itching to talk to Chezah all week but it was hard when Kiba was always by her side and he knew that the second Kiba left, the kid would jump at the opportunity...needless to say, he was shocked by what he heard.

"Sure I knew all about it, it was just diferent hearing it actually come from him though and I know I shouldn't have listened but..." Tsume trailed off when he realised that he had no good reason to have spyed on Toboe other than out of pure curiosity.

He had run straight to Kiba when after he had heard Toboe's little confession in the cave, not really knowing what else to do.

Kiba sat next to him high up on a tree branch where they could not be heard by Hige and Blue who were still hunting.

"I understand" replied Kiba in that wise voice of his which, at any other time, would've annoyed the hell out of Tsume but right now, it was obvious that said man just didn't care about anything else but what had been said back in the cave.

"I just...don't know what to do" he admitted as Kiba put a comforting arm around him and let out a small chuckle when Tsume shrugged it off, some things never change.

Tsume looked up as Kiba began to speak again, "You need to figure out whether you return these feelings for Toboe or not and if you don't then please, let him down gently, and if you do...well, I know a great place where you won't be interupted" the horrified expression on Tsume's face said it all as Kiba winked before the two burst out laughing.

Tsume felt a lot better on the walk back to the cave than he had in weeks and couldn't wait to sort things out with Toboe. Hopefully, both would feel better by tomorow, however Tsume felt...


Hehe, a bit off a cliffy there but don't worry, I know exactly what I want to write and I'll make sure to get it up some time this week, maybe even tomorow or Tuesday if I can :) And just so you know, I've changed my writing style on the other chapter's too but the dialogue is the same :)

Chapter 5: S-E-X! You have been warned! And some small romance from Hige and Blue too :)

Until next time,

Adieu
