A/N: Haha How long has it been since I've updated? Well my computer was fixed a long time ago but I've had a bunch of family troubles so I've been in a slup well to all the readers ( all like 8 of you!) I present...(drum roll) CHAPTER !
"HeyCutie where you going?"
"You get your hands off your you ass hole!"
"Relax you said you wanted a job right? I said I'd give you some if you 'worked' for me. So let's keep our deal okay sweetie?"
"Like hell! Screwing you - some guy I don't even know-does not exactly fit under the category 'job' for me! So just go away!"
"Why don't you just clam down...or else."
"Sure right. Like you stand a chance against me! I could kill you with just one punch freak!"
"Why you..."
The man's hand curled into fist and he thrust it at the girl's stomach. Right before he hit her she jumped into the air and landed behind him. She then kicked his feet out from underneath him , jumped up again then landed on his chest and thrust her fist into his face.
The man screamed in pain then the girl said,
"I told you ya didn't stand a chance. You would do well to rememberthat jerk!"
NOW BACK TO TOBOE AND THE GROUP
I opened my eyes slowly letting them adjust to the light then sat up.
'Man I wonder what time it is'. I looked over next to me and saw Leara. Wow did that girl drool a lot-there was a big pool of drool underneath her mouth.
"Did you have sweet dreams?"
"Hu?"
I turned around and saw Cheza sitting down next to Kiba with her arms warped around his neck.
He looked at me and I swear his cheeks had just the slightest trace of red flash against them. I laughed inside my head because I was scared at what Kiba's reaction might be if he thought I was laughing at him. He lifted himself off the ground,stretched,yawned then said, "We have a long way to go. There's a city not to far from here. We'll stop there and plan out where we'll go."
"Yeah. Hey Kiba?"
"Yeah?"
"We also need to get a lot of food there. Leara is a human and she'll need to eat much more than us. The moonlight doesn't give her strength."
"Right. We should. Plus I'm a little hungry."He smiled a little then told me to wake up Leara 'cause we had to get going as soon as we could. I was about to shake her when she shot up and screamed, "NOOOO! Get the evil muffins away!"then plopped right back down. Then she then sat up again and said. "Morning all!"
'Okay note to self Leara is insane during the morning... well all day but...'
"So what we gonna do now?"
"Go to the next town. Perhaps find something that could give us a clue about paradise." The answer seemed inadequate but it was the best I could think of. She looked at me and said, "Well lets get going."
"Yeah we should go." , said Kiba then he left the cave running with Cheza close behind him. I started to go after him but Leara pulled me back and said,"Don't think I forgot about what I caught you doing. I'm just gonna let it go for now." Then she darted out after Kiba and Cheza. I shighed. So she was gonna pester me about it after all. Then I started after them.
LATER THAT DAY
"I thought it wouldn't take that long Kiba ! It took SIX hours!"
"Well it takes longer if a human is tagging along."
"Whatever. lets go on in!" Shouted Leara already walking ahead of us quite a ways.
As we went inside the city what we saw was quite unpleasant. The buildings were in shambles and the few that were not were not quite beautiful. If you gave the city a makeover it might be able to cut it as a total piece of crap. People hid in there homes as if we had the plague and we were going to give it to them. Not to mention the place smelled to.
"Hey Kiba?"
"Yeah Toboe?"
"Are you sure that there is going to be a clue about paradise here?"
"No."
I laughed a little bit and said, "Oh...I see" 'Geezhow does that guy act so cool all the time ?"
GUUUUURRRRRRGGGG!
I gulped and then looked at my stomach. "Eh heh. I suppose I'm hungry." I said feeling sightly embarrassed.
"heh. That's ok. I'm to. Wanna go get some chow,said Leara smiling at me.
"Sure if it's ok with Kiba and Cheza. Guys?" I said as I glanced over at the two.
Kiba gave a little smile and nodded, "Bring us back some 'K?"
"Sure!" I said beaming, "Come on Leara." I said grabbing her hand and running off in hopes of finding some food in this city.
LATER
"Ugggggg..." I looked over at Leara ,who was hunched over and looked as though she was possessed by a demon, and giggled a little. "So I take you're pretty hungry by now?"
"Hungry...? HUNGRY DID YOU SAY HUNGRY? I'M FREAKING FAMISHED!" she shouted as she turned and glared death at me.
"Uhh...sorry..." I mumbled a little bit afraid she would rip my head off.
"Oh...ummm...No I'm sorry for snapping like that." Leara said softly while blushing. After a few moments of awkward silence I said "Hu? What's that?" as a warm scent hit my nose.
"What's what?" asked Leara.
"Sniff the air", I replyed.
She tilted her head upward and sniffed. "That's rosted chicken if I ever smelled it!" She quickly snapped out of her 'depressed and hungry' mode and bolted towards the direction of the smell. "Hey Leara! Wait up!" I yelped dashing after her.
A LITTLE WHILE AFTER
"Here Toboe! It's right around this corner!" she giggled jumping up and down like a giddy little school girl.
"Ok," I said while gasping "Just...let me...catch my breath..." 'I swear where does this girl get her energy...' "Okay lets go." We turned the corner. My mind went blank and I got an awful rush of deja vu. I looked at the people who were in the ally we had turened in to and studied their faces. There was girl and and a boy. The girl had short dark and wild hair and was wearing a dark blue outfit with thigh high boots and the boy had blond riled up hair and was wearing some sweats.
"You guys.." I said "...You're just like me"
