She sighed, rubbing her temples.

'Breathe, breathe, don't murder anyone… 'She thought to herself as she made her way to the woods.

"What are you doing?" Asked Haruhi. Shiki didn't stop going.

"What do you think I'm doing? I'm going to get my dog!"

"It's getting dark and it's going to get really cold soon-" She told her, about to suggest she put on some warmer clothes, but didn't get a chance to because Shiki interrupted her.

"Well I better hurry up and find them then, don't you think?" She said, breaking into a run into the woods, spitting out strands of hair that flew into her mouth, yelling out their names as she disappeared from view of the group.

"We should go help her." Mori said.

"But let's go change to warmer clothes like Haru-Chan was going to say." said Hunny.

"Alright, then we'll meet back out here and figure out a plan." Hikaru said, jogging back up to his room with the rest of his friends.


"TAMAKI, HOOCH, WHERE ARE YOU? I SWEAR IF YOU LOST MY DOG I'M GOING TO SHOVE YOUR BRAINLESS HEAD UP YOUR FUCKING ASS, DO YOU HEAR ME?" she screamed. The hills were steep and rocky offside the trail and she kept slipping and falling into the cold, damp earth. Haruhi was right, it really was getting colder and she could see her breath condensing back into the evening sky every time she exhaled. Where was Tamaki? Hooch? Where could they be that could be so far away to the point not even hooch could hear her calling his name? She'd already walked down the trail twice in the past hour and now she was making her way up the hills to search that area. She brought her fingers up to her mouth and let out a long loud whistle. She sighed, running her hands through her hair. She was tired, wanted to sit down, but refused to do anything less than pour in all of her strength and effort until she found her dog. There was a crunching of leaves behind her, and her head whipped around fast. She couldn't make out what it was, but a figure fell back out of view to where she couldn't see it.

"Hooch?" she said, her eyes widened, wondering if she had really found him. Then she heard some more crunching behind her, and turned to see more similar figures. 'Either Hooch made some friends or it's not him.' She thought. The sounds came from around her, and soon the creatures began to lurch into view.

Wolves

Shiki's first thought was had they gotten to Tamaki and Hooch before her? We're they dead? The pack began to circle around her, closing in on her closer at closer. She began to pat her body- no knife or gun, she'd forgotten to bring it. Shiki's heart was racing and her adrenaline was pumping as she looked around. Surely they would pounce at any minute. She leaped as far as she could, letting her body tumble down the hill that she'd just come up as they all took to running after her. She tucked her head in and let her body's momentum roll her fast down to the bottom, where she broke out into a run again despite the pain with the wolves not far behind her. Shiki was an exceptionally fast runner, but she was no match for the wolves, and it wasn't long before she was pounced on from behind and tackled to the ground.

"Get off of me you stupid mutt!" she said, kicking it off of her and scrambling backwards on all fours, but another one bit her arm, making her yell out in pain as she pulled, trying to get it off of her, struggling for her life when suddenly the wolf was pounced on by a greater force.

"Hooch!" she yelled, wanting to hug him but knowing there was no time. Some of the other wolves came and tried to bite him but Shiki kicked them with a new form of strength, sending them flying back a few feet and they whimpered in pain.

"Never touch my dog!" she wolf came up towards them growling. Hooch immediately got up in front of her and started to growl back. Shiki also glared at the wolf.

"If I had a knife with me, I'd wearing your coat right now mutt!" she muttered. Suddenly a rock came out of nowhere and smacked the dog in the face.

Shiki looked over in time to see Tamaki running towards them with another rock in his hand.

"Don't worry Shiki I'm here, I'll save you from these brutal beasts!" he said. Even the wolves looked confused.

"We are doomed," said Shiki. Tamaki immediately threw his rock at another wolf, making them scatter.

"Ha, you fowl creatures are no match for me!" he boasted.

"Run you idiot!" Shiki shouted grabbing his arm and dragging him away from the pack further into the woods with Hooch right on their heels. They could still hear the wolves behind them.

"Where are we going?" asked Tamaki.

"How would I know? All I care about is that we get away from those things that currently want to make us dinner!" said Shiki. The two of them kept running fast until finally they happen to come upon a huge house.

"Quick in here!" said Shiki as she managed to burst open the front door for her Tamaki and Hooch to run into. Both humans were quick to slam the door shut.

"Is there anything we can use to barricade this thing?" asked Shiki.

"Hang on!" said Tamaki as he ran off and quickly came back with a chair to try putting it front of the door.

"That should work for now. Lets try finding some more," said Shiki running off. Before long lots of different furniture was in front of the door, making it impossible for the wolves to get in.

"Well at least we'll be safe here for now," said Tamaki.

"Where are we anyway?" asked Shiki as she looked around. It looked like the place was still in use. She wondered over towards the fire place and looked at the picture above.

"Oh I guess this must belongs to Maki's family," she said.

"Oh what makes you say that?" asked Tamaki walking up next to her.

"I'm pretty sure that's her as a child in the picture," said Shiki pointing to a little girl near the front. "I guess that would make sense that this place would belong to them seeing as how we're still on their property."

She felt the walls for a lights witch and flipped it on, but there was no electricity. Probably to save money for a house that wasn't supposed to be in use.

"Great. No electricity, no heat, no phone, no light, no water. And I'm stuck in here with you!" Tamaki retreated to a corner of the room. She growled in annoyance, reaching for a pillow that she could see with the little light left seeping through the windows and threw it at him, making him whine in pain.

"This is no time to sit! We need to start throwing some books or something in the fireplace and get it burning."

"How are you going to make it burn?"

Shiki smirked, "You could lock me in a six inch thick iron safe with a pencil and some grape jelly and I could find a way to make it blow up. I've learned a trick or two when it comes to making fires, considering I lived on the streets for a while."

"Oh yeah, Kyoya told us about that!" Tamaki said, happy to know something.

"Huh? How would he know that?"

"He looks it up on his computer and stuff when he wants to learn about a person."

"So he went through my records?" She said through clenched teeth.

"Yeah," He said, noticing she seemed angry and his voice got smaller.

"What did he find out?" she yelled, lunging towards him and pushing him against the wall. She had a voice that sounded like she really truly wanted to kill somebody, and it was scary. "Tell. Me. Now."

"H-he just told us you ran away and your uncle died and your parents got a divorce…" He said nervously.

"That's it?"

"Yeah- can you put me down now?" He asked, his feet dangling still. She looked at him for a minute before setting him back down and walking away.

"Where are you going?" he asked her.

"To find something flammable, I don't want to be cold tonight." She said, walking away. "And you go see if there's some food, maybe you won't screw that up. Hooch, come upstairs with me." She said. Hooch stood up and walked over to Tamaki, looked at him for a moment, and shook the mud off his coat, spraying it all over him before walking back over to join Shiki.

"Good boy Hooch," said Shiki as she ventured up the stairs. She wondered around the room and was actually happy to see that there were still blankets on each of the four poster beds so they'd have something to help keep somewhat warm. Too bad there still wasn't anything to burn.

Finally she decided to just break off a post off one of the beds to burn. Hooch immediately tried to grab it from her hand.

"Sorry Hooch, this isn't for play," said Shiki as she made her way downstairs.

"Yo Blonde, Blonde, where did you go?" she called out as she came down stairs.

"I'm in the kitchen," called out Tamaki.

"Did you find anything worth eating?" asked Shiki walking into the room.

"I found several different crackers," said Tamaki nodding towards the counters that was filled with all sorts of different boxes.

"Great, well I suppose its better then nothing," said Shiki grabbing a box and pulling out a cracker, dropping it for Hooch.

"I got some wood so I'm going to try and see if I can burn it," she said walking back into the living room.

"But how are you going to start the fire?" asked Tamaki running after her. By the time he got to the living room he was surprise to see a fire was all ready roaring in the fireplace.

"How did you do that?" asked Tamaki.

"I'd tell you but I doubt your weak feeble mind would really be able comprehend what it takes," said Shiki. She figured Tamaki didn't see her pat her pocket where she hid the matches she happen to fine in a hollow out stone in the fire place. She reached over and patted Hooch's head.

"Well we've been in tighter situations before right?" she said. Hooch liked her face. "And I'm glad you're here with me at least."
