"Damn it. He got away again," Hige complained as he walked toward the place the others were. 'Now I have to put on a act to make sure those two don't find out about what I did. Heh, but it's so easy to fool them.' Hige kept on walking till he reached Tsume and Kiba. "Hey guys! Is Toboe awake yet!" Hige asked with that big smile.

Episode 4-

Please Come Back

"Blue. That's a nice name.. So are you a wolf too?" Toboe asked.

"Part wolf. So, why were you running so fast?" the pretty half-breed asked. (Whom I knew was a girl, thank you very much! But you're right, she is HOT!)

"I – I don't want to talk about it." Toboe held his head down.

"Why not? Is someone after you?"

No answer.

"Listen Toboe, you can trust me. I'll even tell you what happened to me when I was young," Blue said.

"Something bad happened to you?" asked Toboe.

"Yes. It was so long ago. I lived with a really nice family back then. An older guy, his wife, and there son. There son was just a little boy and he was always really fun to play with," she added with a grim smile.

"Wow. That's strange. I used to lived with a human too," Toboe said.

"Really? What happened to them?" she asked.

Toboe's face suddenly showed sorrow. "She died." It was all he said.

"I'm sorry to hear that Toboe. But I know how you feel. My family died too."

"I'm sorry to hear that too." Toboe seemed to become even sadder.

"Actually, they were killed."

"WHAT!" Toboe shouted in disbelief.

"I don't know who did it, but they set a fire to the town we lived in and burned everything to the ground, including my home, and my family. There was nothing left but ashes." Blue had tears in her eyes now. "but I had to keep on living. So I learned to fend for myself. And pretty soon my instincts took over and I just learned to take on a human form. Ever since that things have gone all right in my life. But I still wish I had my family and I would give anything to have them back."

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made you bring up such painful memories. I always mess everything up," Toboe said sadly.

"It's all right. It actually fell good to finally tell someone. I should really be thanking you." Blue wiped her eyes and put on a smile. "So, you still don't want to tell me what's wrong with you?" she asked.

"I do, really. But something inside me is holding me back. I think I'm scared," he admitted.

"Well, you don't have to tell me now. I understand. It was a long time before I could accept what had happened to me," Blue confessed. She liked this kid. They had a lot in common. Then she suddenly got an idea." "Hey Toboe, would you like to come with me?"

"Huh!" Toboe was surprised by the question by the was beginning to like Blue. 'Should I go back to the others? If I do then Hige will just keep trying to get me. Maybe I will go with Blue for a little while,' Toboe thought. Then he smiled. "I'd like to go with you Blue."

"Great. It will be nice to have some company. I don't really know where were going; I just go wherever my instincts tell me to go."

"That's all right with me!" Toboe said in his happy voice. 'Well guys, maybe we'll meet again someday,' he thought. "Hey Blue."

"Yes Toboe?" she replied.

"Do you think that we can leave this town now?" he asked. He just remembered that the others were coming to this town and he didn't want to be there when they, especially Hige, arrived. "Please?"

'I knew it. He's running form something, or someone. But still, I won't force him to tell me,' she thought to herself. "All right then. We can go now."

"Thanks Blue."

And with that said they slowly walked toward the exit of the town.

Later that night

"Hige, do you have his sent?" Kiba asked.

"Yeah," Hige answered as he sniffed the ground.

"When I find that pup I swear I'll kill him," Tsume growled in aggravation.

"Relax Tsume," Hige said, "he went to the town we're headed to anyway."

"That's still no excuse for him to have just run off like he did. I'm still going to kill him," Tsume said.

The tree of them had been approaching the town after Toboe had been gone for so long they decided to track him down. Tsume and Kiba were really getting worried but Hige knew exactly where he was. Finally they reached the town and Hige stopped sniffing.

"Yup, he's been here. And he's with someone else!" Hige said in a surprised voice.

"What!" the other two said.

"It's been a few hours since he's been here though. His sent is a little faint," Hige commented. "You don't think someone kidnapped do you?"

"I don't think so," Kiba said.

"But it is a possibility," Tsume answered.

"Can't you ever have at least ONE positive thought in your head Tsume! Just once in your life!" Kiba was starting to get upset.

"What's got you so mad," Tsume said. "He may be young but you know that he can handle himself."

"Yeah, calm down Kiba," Hige remarked. "Besides, we all need some rest. We can easily catch up to him in the morning. He has to stop somewhere," he said in a sure manner. 'And that's when I'll get you Toboe, and make you my mate.'

The wolves went into the same alleyway where Toboe and Blue had been earlier. They all laid down and found there own place to sleep. Before they fell asleep they all drifted away into their own thoughts.

'Toboe you little brat! When I find you I swear I'll fuck the hell out of you for biting me twice and then running from me! You won't get away again. You can run but you can't hide because no matter where you go I'll always be there to find you," thought Hige with a slight smile.

'Where is he," Tsume thought. Though he would never admit it he was getting worried about Toboe. 'I don't know what we're g tog to do with him. But I do know what I'll do when we find him!" Obviously, T was was frustrated.

'Are you running from us Toboe? If so, then why? Is it something we did to you, or something I said that made you FEEL like you were getting in our way? But the truth is that I've been starting to grow attached to you. I don't know why. Maybe it's because you saved my life. Or maybe it's because you just having some type of effect on me. But the fact is that now I think I need you with me. Please come back, come back to me Toboe!" The white wolf closed his eyes and drifted into a deep sleep, and going into his own world of dreams.

Meanwhile, in another town far away

A man stopped at a the entrance to a town and began to walk down the road. His walk was so strange and creepy, almost as if he was just gliding along the street. He wore an ugly white mask and was dressed in black. Finally, he stopped walking and went into a bar.

As he entered the bar everyone in it turned around and glared at him.

"Can I do something for you," the bar tender asked.

"Yes," the man answered, "you all can go to sleep." A strange screeching sound filled the room and everyone in it suddenly fell to the floor, all except for one man. Then he walked up to the one man he had left conscious.

"Who are you?" the man asked.

"I have a job for you," he replied, "and I am the noble Darcia."
