Chapter 11
With Kiba
Kiba couldn't tell if he was in the past or present anymore. Images flickered across his mind. People from then, people from now, both of them mixed together. Taking it all in was giving him a headache. He sniffed the air, hoping to find Tsume's scent, but there wasn't anything. He had so much going on in his mind, he accidently bumped into a little kid.
"Doggie, Doggie, momma look! It's a big doggie!" the little girl screamed with excitement. Kiba was in his human form and Toboe thought he was human, so that little girl was crazy. Kiba suddenly felt a slight tug on his jacket. "It's the doggie, momma! It's the big doggie!" the little girl announced.
"Honey, that's just a man. I'm so sorry. She has started to see strange things ever since she got sick a few weeks ago. I just don't know what to think," the mother of the little girl apologized. Kiba didn't respond, but stared at the little girl as she walked down the street.
"Kiba, what's the matter?" Toboe asked.
"That little girl saw me," Kiba responded, feeling curiosity rush through him.
With Hige
Hige had resorted to searching the whole building for an exit, but so far, no luck. That girl made him feel better, but he still couldn't leave. He had found some interesting stuff, though. He found a TV that still worked and found out that it was FORTY YEARS LATER! He had been in a pod for FORTY YEARS! He watched the news and found out all sorts of stuff, but sadly, nothing on breaking through a force field. He was currently looking down what he thought was the west wing of the building. There were normal offices and all that, but still no opening. He sighed and went into a random office. He sat down and dusted off some papers on the desk. He only skimmed until he saw Kiba' name. He read the whole report that went with it.
Patient: Kiba ?
Age: 20 – 4000
Report: This subject has led to a scientific breakthrough. Reincarnation is possible! This patient has a past life of a wolf. We have gathered so much data from watching his dreams. The airship, the light lasers, and so much more have come from his memories. Unfortunately, he is trying to wake up. We can't really sedate him much longer. His brain has started to recover these memories, thus his body has started to think it's like a wolf's. This means that his body starts to burn off the sedation almost as fast as it is in him.
Hige stared in awe as he read the reports of Toboe, Tsume, and himself. What happened while he was in that pod?
With Tsume
Tsume didn't know what to do or think. How could he have been a wolf? How could the others have been wolves? Nothing made sense anymore. Darcia had started to leave him alone more often, so Tsume had resorted to not eating or sleeping. He was too nervous. Could Kiba have realized that he was a wolf or did he get his memories from Cheza? He didn't know.
"Lost in thought, I see. I assume that you have realized something now. Perhaps, something you'd like to share?" Darcia asked. When Tsume didn't respond, Darcia yelled, "Where is she? I need that flower!"
Tsume held back as long as possible, but when Darcia grabbed him, Tsume let the anger engulf him. The next thing he knew, he was on the other side of the bars. He was panting hard and his knife was out. There was blood on the knife.
With Toboe
Toboe wasn't sure what was up with Kiba. After he saw that little girl, he kept following something. After they went passed winding streets and small alleyways, Kiba stopped at a quaint little house. He opened the door and stepped inside. There was an old lady sitting on a couch while drinking some tea. It was Cher, that lady who put them in the pods! What had happened to her?
When Cher saw them, her eyes went wide. She dropped her tea cup and backed up against the wall.
"H… How? It… It's not possible!" she screamed.
"What did they do?" Kiba did that growling thing again. Cher just shook her head.
"Forty years," she whispered, "How? Wait?! C… Can yo… you change?" Kiba growled louder.
"Tell me what they did to me!" Kiba was really going at it now.
"Ar… Are you… you a w… w… wo…" Cher began. Kiba growled even louder. Toboe saw Cher's eyes light up with both fear and joy. Toboe looked at Kiba, only to see a giant whit dog. Wait, it was too big to be any dog. It was a wolf, like in Toboe's dream.
Sorry that this chapter is short, but I have had the longest week of my like, literally! The next chapter will have more detail and will be longer.
