I woke up the next morning to the sound of giggling. Boys giggling. That concerned me. I opened my eyes to see Hige and Toboe standing right above us. Tsume's head was still on my shoulder, that's what they were laughing at. Time to manoeuvre the mine field.

"Guys, piss off. If Tsume wakes and finds you laughing at him he's going to kill you. You know he will." Tsume threats always work. "Put it this way, right now I am your lifeline. You can either walk away and stop giggling like teenage girls. Or I can walk up Tsume." They walked away. I knew they would, everyone in the pack knew the wrath of Tsume.

Soon enough Kiba approached us, "Larka, you have to get up. We're about to leave."

"Uh, fine, I'm getting up." I moved out from under Tsume's head. He grumbled and opened his eyes "Larka come back." Even I had to laugh at this. "Come on Tsume the packs about to leave." He got up and glared at everyone, he was not I morning person.

Finally we were moving, soon my good mood was ruined by Hige asking us annoying questions. "So Tsume, how did you sleep last night?" Eventually I got fed up with his questions, "Hige, it sounds to me like you jealous that Tsume had someone to sleep with last night. Is my little Hige getting lonely." I said the last part in one of those voices people use on little kids.

Everyone laughed at Hige's blush. We were all happy, it was a full moon tonight. We walked into the crap heap that the humans called a town. It was mostly men and it looked like me and Cheza were the only girls around. The men kept whistling at us.

Hige's thoughts seemed to be echoing mine "Man, what a seedy looking town."

"It's my kind of place." I nodded my head, Tsume would fit in here. I wouldn't though. "Smell the danger in the air, my bloods on fire."

"Me to, me to!" Toboe rolled up his sleeve trying to look and sound tough. It was cute when kids did that.

"Pretty big talk for someone who's scared all the time." Hige got Toboe in a headlock. "But that's not the only reason your fired up, Is it runt? For one tonight's-"

Kiba cut him off "Yeah, it's a full moon."

Toboe jumped out of Hige's hold a slipped into a wall. "I know it's like that for us 'cause we get you strength from the full moon, but what about Cheza? She looks like shes glowing to." we all turned to look at Cheza.

"Once a year on the night of a full moon, the flowers will here the moons call, and return to paradise. That's a legend I heard once." Kiba told us.

"So tonight she'll-" Tsume began

"I'm not sure if it will be tonight."

"What's gunna happen to her?" Toboe asked

"Your not saying Cheza's gunna bloom or something, are ya?" Hige joined

"Cheza turned around and called to us "This one is exited to!"

Hige and I found food and the others found small pond. We spent the day there. When the moon started to rise I felt like I could do anything. It was amazing.

Tsume threw his hands above his head "Man, I just wanna howl my head off!" I walked over to him, put my hands on his neck and kissed him, he lifted me up slightly. I hadn't realized he was that much taller than me until now. Kiba just smiled at us, Hige and Toboe looked like they were waiting for Tsume to throw me off. He didn't.

Kiba turned to look back at Cheza first. "Something is gunna happen." Tsume and I broke apart and watched Cheza. She was spinning. Cheza was spinning quickly in the water. Soon we started to run around her. Tsume stopped suddenly and howled, I started soon after he did. Hige was next, then Toboe and last Kiba. Soon the small town was filled with the howls of wolves.

We sat and looked at the moon. We sat in a sat circle around Cheza, I felt it to. Something was about to happen. Suddenly Cheza opened her eyes, and we were standing in a field of lunar flowers. There was a path of lunar flower that went all the way into the horizon. It was amazing.

"It's the path to paradise." Hige whispered

"Is that really what it is?" Tsume asked no one in particular

"I think it is." I replied still staring at the path.

"It's amazing." Toboe said

Cheza said nothing and started to run along the path the pack followed without a second thought. Very soon we started hearing an airship, we looked up to see Darcia's airship almost above us. The flowers disappeared.

The ship landed and the doors opened. Lord Darcia stepped out "The wolves, it's been a long time."

"That stench, he's a noble." Tsume said.

"What are you doing here?" Kiba asked.

"Was your little dream pleasant? The one where you were going to paradise?" he said, ignoring Kiba's question.

"What?" Kiba yelled

"The time has not yet come for that. Return to me, Cheza." He was still ignoring the questions.

Cheza gasped and stepped back. "Get out of out way!" Kiba yelled while lunging forward to attack Darcia. "It is futile." was all he said.

The ship shot a laser at Kiba, another one came strait after that. It hit Toboe "Toboe!" Hige and I yelled at the same time. Hige tried to run to him but another laser shot out soon after, that one hit both Hige and Toboe. Cheza screamed. "Ah, the blood of the wolves, how magnificent." He seemed to amused at my friends pain.

Kiba and Tsume ran at the ship, yet another laser shot out and hit Tsume "Tsume!" I cried. That was enough, he would not hurt my friends any more. I ran at the ship, but a laser came out of no where and hit me right on my chest. It burned my white fur, The blood didnt show up on the red fur on my back. Kiba was hit again but he just got back up. I fainted, I couldn't hold on any longer.
