Chapter 7 The Visions Fade, Thank Goodness!
Kiba, Tsume and Toboe stumbled blindly away from their fears and doubts. They ran until they could not run anymore and they each collapsed. Enclosed in their guilt, sadness and fear. Toboe felt his face get wet. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was lying beside a large pond. He used all of his strength to stand up and drink.
Kiba felt his paw dampen and slowly, fearfully he opened his eyes. Water! He thought as he got up and started drinking as much as he could. Tsume felt his body grow cold. He shivered, opened his eyes and realising that he was in water started swimming and drinking from it.
They felt the water cool their aching throats and it rejuvenated them and filled them with an enormous energy. Toboe finished drinking and looked around him. He saw Tsume swimming in the pond, without thinking he jumped in and started swimming towards Tsume. But then he remembered what had happened and stopped. They don't want me. I won't bother them anymore Toboe thought to himself and swam back to the edge of the pond.
After Kiba had finished drinking he recalled what or rather who he had seen. A chill went down his spine as he looked around for the terrifying figure, but to Kiba's relief he did not see him. Tsume closed his eyes and listened expecting to hear his daughter's haunting voice. But he heard nothing and began to look around.
Kiba spotted Tsume swimming in the pond and shouted to him, 'Tsume!' Tsume seeing Kiba swam towards him and got out of the pond. 'Where's Toboe?' asked Tsume trying not to sound concerned and failing.
Kiba shook his head. Beyond the pool was a large forest. 'His scent is coming from the forest' said Kiba and they both went through the foliage following the scent. Meanwhile, Toboe was wandering through the forest feeling absolutely worthless and very lonely. I can't keep holding them back. It's better if I just leave. I'll be fine on my own.
Kiba and Tsume started calling Toboe's name and howling hoping he wasn't too far away to hear them. 'Toboe! Toboe! Where are you?!' A short distance away Toboe heard them calling him. Why are they calling me? They don't want me…..do they? But they wouldn't look for me if they didn't want to find me. They must really care about me after all!
'Tsume! Kiba!' Toboe shouted with joy as he ran as fast as he could in the direction of their voices. 'He heard us!' said Tsume happily then he coughed and said 'Not that I cared either way.' Kiba smiled to himself. Tsume does care about Toboe, whether he shows it or not.
Toboe saw Tsume and Kiba ahead of him and he began to run faster but he tripped on the root of a tree and went flying into them knocking them over. 'Hey, watch it runt!' said Tsume dusting himself off. 'Sorry.' said Toboe as he gave Tsume a big hug. Tsume embraced Toboe and said 'It's good to have you back kid.' Tsume then abruptly stopped and pushed Toboe away and said gruffly 'Don't touch me.'
Toboe's face fell but then he started smiling again when he remembered that he would not have to be alone again. That he was part of a pack, a family.
