Chapter 21-Taken

The next morning, Kint woke up to screaming.

"Tsume you jerk!!"

"Why do you girls keep on calling me a jerk?!"

"Maybe cause you are." said Hige holding up his hands in defense.

"What did you say Hige?!"

"What's going on?"

"Oh hello Kint.Good morning." Toboe smiled and sat next to her. "Kiba's still asleep huh?"

"Yea." Kint looked down at the sleeping white wolf in her lap.

She was about to pet him when he shot open his eyes.

"Good morning Kiba." said Toboe smiling.

Kiba looked at the little wolf and then up at a blushing Kint.He stood up and offered his hand which Kint took quietly.Kiba led the others outside and Hige started to complain about food.

"Hige, are you really that hungry?"

"Yes."

"Well I bet we can get some food from that butcher over there, huh Kint?"

Kint sighed and followed Shives, who was walking seductively over to the meat handler.

"Why hello sir. My friend and I want to buy some meat but sadly we have no money. So we were worrying if you could give us just a little bit, pretty pretty please?" Shives put on her sexy pleading face.

"Well of course you can ladies. But you have to do me a small favor in return." The butcher glanced at the girls' chest.

"Oh no." said Kint. ( 0.0)

The boys waited outside the shop.Kiba looked down at the ground kicking at it. Why was Kint refusing him? He thought deeply about her until Toboe broke in.

"Kiba? You seem a little sad. What's the matter?"

"Nothing." Kiba hid his face in his hands. "Just tired."

"Hey the girls are back!" Hige sounded joyful again.

Kint had two large bags of meat as well as Shives.

"What took ya so long?" said Hige as he opened the bag of meat.

"We had some business to take care of, right Kint?"

Kint walked passed the girl growling. (--')

"What's up with her?"

"Oh nothing." Shives smiled.

Kint sat next to Kiba,who was still standing, leaning against a wooden pole. She handed a bag over to him.

"Here."

Kiba looked down at the bag and then looked away. "I'm not hungry."

"Fine.Hige you want this?"

"Oh you know it!" Hige grabbed the bag and ate every single piece of meat.

Kiba began to walk away. "I guess we're leaving. Come on guys!" yelled Shives.

They left the city and continued down into a canyon.Toboe and Hige looked at the place in awe.Tsume and Shives talked about the city and pretty much everything. Kint followed far behind Kiba.She wanted to talk to him but she was afraid to.

"Kint?"

She nearly jumped at the sound of his voice.

"Yes Kiba?"

"Come up here. Walk with me."

Kint blushed. "Uh sure."

The black and white wolf led the pack out of the canyon and into a grassy plain.

"Kint? Do you really love me?"

"Well of course I do."

"Are you lying to me?"

"What?"

"When I tried to kiss you back there. You pushed me away. Plus, in that empty city, you still stopped me from kissing you. What do you have against me?"

"N-nothing I just"

"You just don't love me. Just say it.Kint..." He stopped her and held her face into his hands.

"Kint I love you. I always have and I always will. When you died, I..." He started to fight with his emotions.

"Kiba...I understand. You mean the world to me as well but I guess the reason why I have been refusing you is because I'm..."

"Kiba look!" Toboe pointed to a black ship that was descending from the sky.

The ship landed in front of the pack with a loud thud. The door to the ship opened and out came...Dire and Kiyoshi.

"Is that Kiyoshi?!" said Shives.

"Damn it! How did he survive?" said Tsume sternly.

"Who's Kiyoshi?" said Toboe.

"My brother's evil servant." said Kint blankly.

"He tried to kill Tsume." added Shives.

Dire smiled devilishly at the pack.

"Hello dear sister."

"Dire, what are you doing here?"

"I came back for you dear sister. I missed you so much." He smiled.

"Well forget it I'm not going anywhere."

"I'm sorry to hear that.Kiyoshi!"

"Yes master." Kiyoshi leaped into the air with his new flaming sword about to slice Toboe apart.

Tsume grabbed hold of the sword and threw it into Dire's direction.Sadly, he dodged it.

"Kiyoshi! You are a pitiful fighter."

"I am sorry master." Kiyoshi bowed to him.

"Enough. Take my sister and let's go."

"Yes Master." And with great speed Kiyoshi picked up Kint and ran onto the ship.

Kint kicked and screamed as the ship lifted off the ground. Dire laughed uncontrollably as the ship shot blue lasers at the wolves below.Kint looked down at the white wolf screaming his name as tears ran down her eyes.

There was nothing the other wolves could do but watch as the ship took away Kiba's paradise. He pounded the ground crying and screaming Kint's name as flashbacks of her happiness went through his mind.Kiba had lost his black wolf for the second time.

"Kint..."

(You are who I love, who I adore, but you departed from me forever more.)
