Previously:

"I'll keep an eye on their rounds. There has to be some sort of pattern to their checking up on Quent's progress with you." The black wolf looked up and gave a playful bark when he spotted a couple of guard nearby. Upon seeing the dogs they were walking he said, "Go, I'll keep them occupied."

Tsume backed away as he heard the door open and Kiba talking when he realized the guards were walking their dogs. As he ran off the grey wolf thought back to his initial thought that he was going to have to get used to being around Mark and that they were going to have to learn to get along. Shaking his head he thought, 'I should have known that Kiba's safety was going to be the one thing that would break that tension. Mark and Kiba are the closest out of their group of friends.' Getting to his own little hiding spot he laid down and looked out to the vast freedom he had had for some time. 'Ugh, I hate the that I have to give up all this but Mark is right, Kiba needs the upmost protection right now.'

Now:

Mark (1) watched his best friend fidgeting in his sleep. The fact that Kiba looked so displeased bothered him immensely. His red eyes narrowed as he tried to figure out a way to wake the illusioned wolf as he had already tried all of the ways he knew. Putting his nose close to Kiba's face he stared at him and huffed in irritation. He didn't move from his spot when he heard the door open. Kiba growled in his sleep as if irritated himself, his right arm flailing out and his hand making a fist. "Why is he still asleep?"

"I don't know. I've tried everything I know to wake him up. The only time I've seen this happen was when he woke up startled when we were in the pack. It was when Tsume and Hige found us." The black furred wolf moved his head to look over his shoulder at the female half wolf, "He woke up so frightened that he ran to the edge of the pack like he was trying to run from something."

"That's kind of scary to hear." She looked at Kiba while he twitched again in his sleep. With a snarl he growled out something unintelligible to either wolf in the room. "He was so strong when we running together in the last life. I don't like hearing that he is scared. Sometimes I felt like he didn't know how to be scared."

"Well he is very goal oriented. So that could be it. From what I talked about with Tsume he was the same way then as well. It seems like it is something that he does no matter where he ends up in life." Mark looked at his best friend from the corner of his eye.

The black wolf went to say more but Kiba shot up and was huffing. The illusioned wolf growled angrily and laid on his back, "I hate that man."

"What man?" Mark asked making the teenager jump in surprise. "Well?"

"I…I don't know." Kiba rubbed his head, "I haven't gotten a name, all I know is that he finds some way to take over where my mind is when I'm asleep. It's always to talk to me about getting some kind of memory I'm not sure why he's so intent on forcing me to remember so badly."

"Is there any hints as to you can tell us? I'm sure I could tell you who he is if I had the right clues." Blue asked tilting her head as she sat next to the bed the males were on.

"The only piece I've seen of him is his arm and it wasn't something I could distinctly tell you. There was no defining marks I saw. It was more like a shadow than anything else." Kiba replied looking away.

"That's not everything is it Key?" The teenager didn't reply and continued to look at the wall. "Key, you have to explain it to us sometime. I can't read your mind."

"I don't know how to explain it."

Mark sighed and laid on the bed next to his best friend, "Kiba, you know you can tell me anything right?"

"I do, I just…really don't know how to explain it right now."

Blue looked at Kiba, worry building up in her chest. Jumping up she placed her front paws on the bed tilting her head. "Kiba?"

"Don't worry Blue, I'll explain it when I get find the right words."

"Please do you are worrying me."

Kiba nodded, "I will, I promise." His mind went back to the conversation he just had with the said man. He once again was telling him that his friends were nothing but unneeded baggage. It was seriously making him angry every time he called them that. What made it worse was he mentioned his best friends specifically this time. He didn't call him by name but he seemed intent on calling him out as Kiba's biggest hindrance. Kiba was afraid that if he told Mark that the black wolf would try to pick a fight if they were ever cross paths with the man. Despite being calm most of the time Mark could have a bit of a temper if someone made him angry enough.

"Hey kid, come on I got to head to work." Quent yelled from the kitchen making Kiba sigh and get up.

Blue stepped in front of him before he could exit the room,
"Change your clothes, trust me the men at the station will question why you are wearing the same clothes."

"I could just say that I have more than one white shirt."

Blue laughed, "That is such a male response if I ever heard one." She shook her head, "At least change the color for the day. I can tell you the jeans will be something they will not question you about."

"Goodness you are reminding me a lot of my mom." Kiba replied changing the color of the shirt to red and asked sarcastically. "Better?"

"You know…you are a little too sarcastic are your own good." Mark and Kiba laughed amused as the black wolf ran out of the room with Kiba right behind him. Blue let off a huff and followed after them at a slower pace.

Quent raised an eyebrow at Kiba and Mark as they ran into the kitchen, "What in the world did you boys do this time?"

Blue eyes looking into the human's own with an amused expression deciding to keep his mouth shut. The human looked at the half wolf for an explanation. "He's being sarcastic with me about changing the color of his shirt."

The man started laughing, "It's good to see a bit of personality to you. You were a little bland for my taste in the past."

Kiba glared playfully at the Quent, "That wasn't necessary."

"Hm, I'm sure that it wasn't. However reguardless are you ready to go? I have to head in early today." Kiba nodded and pulled on the backpack from the day before, "We will also be going over to Hubb and Cher's today after I am done with work." Mark and Kiba gained large smiles hearing that, "Your friends will likely be in the apartment add day today."

"They won't be at Cher or Hubb's work places?"

"No, Hubb works for the detective department and Cher works as a scientist. Due to that they can't take the kids with them. Don't worry we'll go over there after. I have a key to their apartment." Quent replied throwing a bag at Kiba to which the illusioned wolf caught easily, "I won't be able to leave for lunch today since I want to leave earlier to head to their place with you."

"So…this is…today's lunch?" Kiba asked looking at the bag with a confused expression.

Quent raised an eyebrow, "Yes, I'll have Markus and Blue's food with us as well. So they can eat as soon as we get to the office. Now put that in your bag and get ready for a long day."

"Okay." The teenager said putting the bag into his bag.

As the man walked by him he nudged Kiba, "No need for your sarcasm there brat."

Kiba stuck out his tongue replacing the backpack like it was supposed to. "Your just mad that you not as awesome as Markus and I are."

With a snicker Kiba dodged when the man tried to smack his arm for the crap he just gave him and watched as the boy ran off to the car with the black wolf right on his tail. Quent crossed his arms and shook his head, "He has so much more personality. I can't believe how different he is. His family really has been the best for him."

"Yeah, he's much happier." Blue agreed sitting down and allowing the human to put her leash on, "I just can't believe that he is so different yet there is still so much of his old personality is still there."

Quent nodded and walked out with her smiling when he saw Kiba and Mark at the car. Mark had his paws placed on the teenager's chest with the brunette laughing at his ridiculous best friend. Walking out he picked up his keys and locked the door behind him. The human could hear Mark barking playfully as he turned and looked at the two young wolves. With a chuckle he walked over to the car ready to head to work and get the day over with so he could relax and enjoy the night.

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Miles away Jaguara walked into her office taking a seat and looking at the reports of the sightings of the wolf needed. She smiled seeing the picture of the white wolf and part of a small pack. Her fingers touched the picture tracing the white wolf, "Oh, you magnificent beast." Her eyes locked onto the wolf's golden eyes, "When you are in my grasp you will make for the perfect pet." Her hand went into the desk drawer and pulled out the collar tracing the name. Pulling up another picture it showed a picture of Kiba in his human illusion. "Hm, I wonder what form I should have you stuck in. Either would work." Her smile got bigger as her eyes looked into the blue eyes of his human illusion ignoring the black wolf he had on a leash then to the picture of the white wolf, "Yes, I think I know just what form to leave you in till you are really needed."

"My lady?" Jaguara looked up placing the pictures down but her other hand still playing with the collar. "He's been spotted in Dome City with a man and a half wolf."

"I see." Her eyes looked at the pictures of Kiba on her desk, "Keep an eye out for when he and his pack leave." Her finger traced the wolf in his human form, at least that is what she called it since cameras and other technology could pick up what the wolves wanted people to see with their illusions. "I want him and his pack alive however he is be of the upmost importance."

"Of course ma'am, we'll make sure he is unharmed to the best of our ability."

The man walked out making her smile and stare at the picture, "Soon my dear pet, soon you will be safe in my hands. No one will harm you so long as you are with me."
