Chapter 3:

Kiba, Tsume, and Toboe followed the two wolves they meat at the entrance to Hige and Blue's territory. As they walked into the territory, Toboe looked around at how many wolves were there.

"Wow there are a lot of wolves here isn't there Kiba?"

"Yes Toboe now just stay close ok?"

"Alright."

Toboe then walked closer to Kiba as he followed them up to the entrance of the den. The silver wolf stopped and turned to the three wolves behind him.

"Stay here I will tell Hige that you are here."

The wolf then turned on his heel and walked into the den. As Kiba, Tsume, and Toboe waited they decided to relax for a few minutes.

"Gee I never thought it would be this hard to come visit."

"Well that's the law of wolves runt so get used to it."

Tsume said as he sat down next to Kiba who was looking out at the valley at the many wolves, and wolf pups running around and having fun. He sighed softly as he kept looking out.

"What's wrong Kiba?"

"Oh nothing Tsume…I was just thinking how nice it is here with all these other wolves and pups."

Tsume also looked out at the valley and saw two wolf pups playing and chasing each other. He smiled at the sight and nuzzled Kiba's cheek and Kiba nuzzled back. He knew that Kiba wanted pups of his own, but with them being both males it was imposible for them to have pups.

"Yea I see what you mean."

"Hey that pups going to fall!"

Toboe said as he then ran off towards the pup. Kiba saw this and his eyes went wide. Tsume noticed the look on his mates face and turned his head towards Toboe who was running towards the pup that was in trouble.

"Aw shit…TOBOE STOP! DON'T GO NEAR HIM!"

Toboe apparently heard to late cuz he reached the pup and helped him up and out of danger. He looked down at the pup making sure it was not hurt.

"There you go sweetie are you ok?"

Toboe didn't get an answer cuz he was suddenly tackled to the ground with a very mad big brown wolf growling and showing his teeth at the now whimpering and submissive Toboe.

"What are you doing, and who are you?"

"I…I j-just tried to help the pup."

"I said who are you?"

The brown wolf growled as he pushed Toboe even further into the earth. Toboe couldn't respond as the wolf above him kept pressing on his windpipe. Darkness was going to over take him, when he suddenly felt the weight on his throat disappear.

"Are you alright?"

Toboe looked up at the most stunning blue eyes he ever saw. He was so into them that all he could do was nod his head.

"TOBOE!"

Kiba's voice called as he approached the scene with Tsume right behind him. Tsume looked around and saw that the wolf that held Toboe down was now near the pup looking it over, then picked it up and ran towards the rest of the pack, who were staring at the little scene.

"Toboe are you ok?"

Kiba said as he walked over to him while he was being helped up from the black wolf that saved him.

"I-I think so."

"YOU IDIOT! That's what you get for running after a pup from another pack."

"TSUME!"

Tsume turned around and noticed that Higue was running towards him. He rolled his eyes. As Higue came closer he noticed Kiba fussing over Toboe.

"Kiba, Toboe what are you doing here?"

"We came to visit but the runt here wanted to play hero to one of your wolf pups."

Higue looked at Toboe and noticed that he was leaning against the black wolf that was making sure he could stand. He then turned his attention to Kiba.

"Kiba why don't you help Knight take Toboe up to the den."

Kiba nodded and he and Knight took Toboe to check him over.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kiba and Knight led Toboe into the den to the far back. Toboe was told to lie down and did so without argument. Kiba lay down next to him to check over him once more.

"Kiba I'm fine I promise so why don't you go and talk to Higue and Blue I'll be fine ok."

Kiba stared at him for a minute then turned his attention to the black wolf that was standing off to the side watching from a distance. He knew better then to interfere with other pack members without permission from the alpha wolf or the alpha wolf's mate.

"Um….Knight is it?"

The black wolf nodded slowly as he took a couscous step forward. Kiba noticed his nervousness and smiled kindly at the young wolf.

"It's ok you can approach I won't hurt you….but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind keeping an eye on Toboe for me while I go talk to my mate and friend."

"Uh….s-sure n-no problem…"

Knight said still a little nervous as he came closer to the two wolves. Kiba then stood took one last look at Toboe, nodded to Knight and left to find his mate and friend.

(Silence)

"You know you don't have to actually keep an eye on me Kiba isn't my father or anything."

"B-But he said…"

Toboe just shrugged his shoulders as he stared at the black wolf in front of him. Knight also stared at him for a few minutes.

"I know what he said but I am telling you that I am fine just like I told Kiba, so you can leave if you want to."

Knight just stayed where he was and continued staring at the young brown pup. Toboe noticed this and turned his head to the side wondering what the black wolf was looking at.

"Um….is there a reason that you keep staring at me like you are?"

Knight snapped out of his daze and shook his head as he felt his muzzle get warm from embarrassment.

"S-Sorry I was just….um is it ok that I lay next to you?"

Now it was Toboe's time to blush.

"S-Sure…"

Knight then walked closer to the brown pup and took the space that Kiba was in before he left. Toboe turned his head away from the wolf still blushing. Knight also kept his face turned away so not to show the blush that was still on his face.

(Silence)

"Um…. thanks for saving me from your pack member I really thought I was going to be killed."

Toboe said as he finally broke the silence that formed between them. Knight turned his face back to the young pup and smiled kindly at him.

"Y-Your welcome…"

"So your name is Knight?"

The black wolf nodded.

"Your name is Toboe right?"

Toboe nodded back.

"Nice to meet you."

They both said together. They then stared at each other after noticing that they answered at the same time and just laughed. After a few minutes of laughing Knight turned his attention to the sliver bracelet that was on Toboe's paw.

"What's that silver thing on your paw?"

Toboe looked down at his bracelet and smiled softly at it. Knight noticed the smile and wondered what it meant to the pup.

"It was a gift from my grandmother…"

Toboe said with a little pain in his voice. Knight's ears went down as he felt the pain that came from him.

"I-I'm sorry….she must have been a very loving wolf."

Toboe shook his head and looked at the black wolf next to him with a sad smile on his face.

"S-she was very loving but she wasn't a wolf she was a human..."
