Chapter Twenty-Four: Soon My Dear

Here is the next chapter for you all.

Sorry, it took me so long to get this out. My husband and I moved to a temporary place, before we move permanently to a new location. In addition there was a lot going on so I was unable to post.

I hope you all enjoy and have a Jesus filled day.

Previously:

Mark looked at her. The way Tsume, Hige, Toboe, Blue and the humans described his best friend it was foreign to him. The person they described was so different. The old Kiba sounded nothing like the one he grew up with. Half the time Mark didn't even want to think about how Kiba really used to be like. But hearing about the old Kiba from the others… Mark's ears went down, 'That Kiba sounds like a depressed person with only one reason left to live. That's so depressing.' He looked away from Blue who looked at him concerned, 'Why do I get the feeling that it will happen again?'

Now:

Quent went to Kiba's room and opened to door. He chuckled lightly seeing a white and black wolves sleeping next to each other. From the state of the room he could tell the two of them had a late night wrestling with each other. Blue walked in next to him and smiled, "Wow, they really are close."

The human nodded looking at the half wolf, "What are you doing in human form?" She shook her head going to animal form making Quent roll his eyes. He eyed the two wolves sleeping on the bed, "Do you know when they went to sleep?"

She tilted her head, "I think it was near midnight. I came in about that time to find them asleep on the floor. I only woke them to make sure they got on the bed. Though they were in their human forms the first time."

Quent shrugged, "They are used to their wolf form so I don't blame them." He walked in clearing his throat scaring Mark (1) awake. The black wolf looked at him with sleepy light red eyes, "We need to get packing. I'm going to head back early. I have everything I need for my department."

Mark yawned shaking his head as he did before nodding. He turned and nipped at Kiba's ear, "Wake up, we got to help pack." The sleeping white wolf pulled his ear free and flattened them to his head continuing to sleep.

Quent shook his head amused, 'It's going to be interesting seeing Kiba like this.' "Keith, I need you to pack so get up or I'll pull you to the floor." The white wolf groaned while Mark gave a small laugh amused. The young wolf continued to sleep not believing the man would do what he said he was going to do. "Okay, you asked for it." Mark quickly jumped off the bed as Quent grabbed the top blanked that the white wolf was sleeping on and pulled him off with it. Kiba yelped and stood up and glared at Quent smiling triumphantly at him. "I told you I was going to do it, so don't test me next time."

Kiba gave a soft growl and turned to his human form, "That was unnecessary."

"We are leaving today." The teenager looked at him surprised, "I have everything I need for my department."

The teenager groaned rubbing his eyes, "Okay."

He looked at the extra bag that was dropped next to him as the human said, "I brought this by accident, didn't see it in my suit case. Since you lost your bag you can use this to pack your things that you didn't end up losing." The teenager nodded so Quent left to go pack his own things up.

Kiba looked at Mark, "Well here we go."

The black wolf gave a laugh like bark, "Don't worry Kiba. We'll figure everything out. When we do everything will be okay."

The brunet looked away the man's voice from his dream coming to his mind. "Hm, I see I will have to show you that all you are carrying is extra baggage. In the mean time enjoy what you have. I won't be resting for long."

He shook his head, 'That line. It bothers me. Why does he consider my friends and family extra baggage? It makes no sense.' Kiba sat down on the bed and rubbed his face, 'I can't make any sense of it.'

"Kiba?" The illusioned wolf pulled his hands and down and looked at the black wolf. "What's wrong?"

The blue eyed teen pet the wolf between the ears, "I'll be okay. I'm just…trying to figure something out."

The red eyed wolf tilted his head, "You'll tell me about it right?" Mark put his head on his best friend's leg, "Maybe I can help."

Kiba smiled, "You are already helping. Trust me on that." He pet his friend a little longer before standing up and packing a few items that was going to be needed to make it look like a teenager with their own things. Then he set the illusion that there was clothes in the bag. As a wolf he didn't require a change of clothes. If a wolf put their mind to it they could essentially change their appearance of their clothes but it took a lot of energy and concentration to do. He then went about making the bed with Mark helping out the best a 'dog' could. With that done Kiba pulled on the bag looking out the window, "I hope mom and dad are okay."

Mark nudged his leg gently with his nose, "They are okay don't worry about them. You leave that to me. I'm the empathic one remember?"

The teenager chuckled putting the 'leash' on Marks 'collar'. "Yeah, that you are." Standing up he tugged on the leash, "Let's go Markus, we got a different place to go to."

A man walked into an office putting dinner on the desk, "News my lady." The woman looked up, "He's been found."

She opened a drawer pulling out a book touching the cover lovingly, "I see. Has he been taken?"

"No, he is still free. There has not been a chance to grab him yet."

"Was he as I thought he looked?"

"Yes, it was always the shade eyes that the others were getting wrong. Just as you said." The man replied pulling the lid off the plate and setting it to the side. "He even wears the same outfit you recalled ma'am."

"Good, he will be easy to track then." She pushed the book to the side allowing the man to push the tray closer to her. "Any other news?"

"He travels with other wolves. Small, but still a pretty good size from what was seen. It was observed they are all very close. This suggests that he was raised in a pack ma'am."

"I see, this is becoming interesting. Do you know what his pack was? There is no way that that was all of the pack."

"No ma'am. They were seen on the cameras in the forest. As the cameras were just put there days before hand we have no idea where the main pack could be." The man pored the woman a glass of wine.

"Very well, make sure that everything is ready. I don't want him getting away. He is much too important. Once we have him we'll grab the maiden." The woman replied, the man bowed and walked out of the room. Once he was gone the woman pulled out a collar touching the metal plate and letting the light shine off of it, "Soon my dear wolf. Soon you will be mine and we'll open a perfect paradise." The metal plate showed the name Kiba etched in.
