A/N: Yo peeps, how's it going? I've having major writers block... It's terrible...
Disclaimer: Wolf's rain isn't mine, belongs to its respectful owner!
"Everyone, we're going. Now." Kiba started throwing things into the bags and then tossed the to bags Hige. Everyone just gave him an odd look, other than Leala. She just looked plain nervous.
"Is there something wrong?" Toboe asked. She was braiding her hair back up, since it was pretty much dry now. Miyuu was curled up on her lap, purring away.
"You're worried about our pack right?" Blue spoke up, "If that's the case, we should indeed leave."
"Wait, what's going on?" Hige titled his head to the side, "Why are we suddenly in such a big hurry huh?"
"My pack, they are some where around here. When Blue came here, she didn't come alone." Leala twiddled her thumbs nervously and stared at her hands, "So, we should leave quickly." Blue frowned and looked at her feet in shame.
"I completely forgot about them." She clenched her fists and bit her bottom lip. Hige touched her shoulder and she looking apologetically at him.
"Well, I guess we don't have a choice..." Toboe murmured and sighed. She finished her braid and wrapped a rubber band around the end. The red hair girl stood and rubbed her wounded shoulder softly. Miyuu grumbled when she had to jump off Toboe's lap.
"But Toboe is hur-" Tsume started.
"I'm fine. I can still run with this. Its okay." The girl smiled and shifted, her light brown eyes gazed at Tsume.
"Well I guess we better get going. " Hige walked towards Miyuu while unzipping on of the backpacks. He reached down to grab her but she hissed at him and ran under Toboe. "Erm... Tsume, maybe you wanna put the cat in the bag?" Hige tossed the bag at the golden eyed wolf in disguise who in turn caught it and gave him a funny look.
"Afraid of a kitten? Jeez, what kind of wolf are you?" Tsume walked over to Miyuu, picked her up and set her in the bag with no problem. Then he set the bag in front of Toboe. Hige stared at him in awe, his mouth hung open and eyes wide. "How'd you do that Tsume! That cat is a demon! And you- you just waltz over and pick it up! That was a amazing!"
"You are such a moron porky. Goof grief." Tsume rolled his eyes and shifted into a wolf. Kiba and the rest followed suit.
"Lets get a move on. Better get out of here as fast as we can." Kiba bolted out of the cave with everyone else on his tail.
The trees flew past them, their breath clouding in front of them, then disappearing. Kiba was in front followed by Leala, Blue and Hige were a bit further back then Tsume. Toboe was in the very back, struggling to keep up. She was limping, but was still managing to keep a running speed. The bag was in her mouth, and she could hear her cat grunting from being jostled around to much.
Tsume looked behind him and frowned at how far back Toboe was. He lost momentum and fell back. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, jus fine." She said, it sounded all weird since she had the bag's strap was in her mouth.
"Do you want me to take the bag? You might be able to catch up a bit." He gave her a concerned look.
"No ish okay. Ere's no eed to." She pushed herself to go faster, her shoulder protested but Toboe ignored it.
"Toboe, just hand it over." He insisted, she gave him a sideways glance before giving up. He bite the top of the bag and pull it away from Toboe.
"I don't see why you worry so much..." She sighed and just kept looking ahead. She knew that if she looked at him, there would be a lot of concern in his eyes, and she definitely didn't feel like seeing that. It was easier to just avoid looking at him for now. Toboe watched the snow, shapes could be seen, but only by imagination. She was focused, so focused on running that she almost missed the distant howl that fought against the wind. She turned her head and listened harder, and almost stopped running. There's no way... Toboe thought.
"Toboe! Tsume! Hurry it up!" Hige yelled back to them. The red wolf looked behind her but couldn't see anything, perhaps she was worrying to much... She continued to push herself, running faster than her shoulder would have liked, but she didn't care about the pain. If anything, she would have liked to get away as fast as possible, if she was right on the owner of that howl. Then there was no helping her, she'd be found in know time. Toboe just hoped it was just paranoia and not for real.
Tsume gave Toboe a sideways glance, and almost sighed. She was pushing herself and breathing hard. She was quick to let off on her wounded shoulder. But of course she didn't stop, or slow down, but the look on her face worried him. It looked as if she was afraid, and the way she was running was like she was being chased. He looked ahead, they were catching up, Hige and the rest weren't that far anymore.
The grey wolf growled under his breath, making Miyuu hiss. He grumbled an apology before going back to his worrisome thoughts. He thought maybe he was perhaps worrying to much, but then when he took another look at her, he thought maybe he wasn't worrying enough. She is just going to worry me to death, good grief. Tsume thought and just stopped worrying for the moment, nothing was going to happen now. They'd be damned if something were to.
