Here is the long awaited continuation of the WolfDog. I hope you all have been enjoying it so far. So without anymore words from me, on with the story.
Chapter 4:
Knight stared at Toboe as the brown wolf continued to stare at the silver braclet that moved everytime he moved his paw. As this continued Knight decided to speak.
"Um...did I hear you right?"
Toboe turned his sad eyes toward the black wolf that was laying next to him. He then nodded his head once more.
"Yes my grandmother was a human. She found me in a pile of snow outside the city one winter day. She took me in and raised me as a pet, hints the braclet."
Knight nodded his head as he listened to the story. Toboe took this as a sign to continue so he did.
"So for the next few years I lived in relative peace with her and enjoyed it greatly until one day."
Toboe stopped as he was trying to control his emotions. Knight secned this and gently nugged Toboe in the shoulder.
"It's alright Toboe I can see how much pain this is causing you, you don't need to continue."
The young wolf shook his head as if to clear it, then cleared his voice as he turned his eyes back to the black wolf next to him.
"No it's fine I can finish the story."
So Knight nodded his head once more, which in turn made Toboe continue his story.
"So one day I was called into the kitichen for my dinner, and I was so happy that I jumped up and started licking her face, but she couldn't hold me up so I ended up landing on top of her. She was having trouble breathing but I didn't realize until it was to late. When she didn't responed to any of my licks or yelps, I knew she was gone."
Toboe finished as he layed his head on his paws, softly whimpered, and spoke one last time.
"When I left the house after her death, I met up with Kiba, Tsume, Higue, and Blue. They were the ones that taught me how to be a wolf, seeing as I still had the adittude of a dog. But as you witnessed eairlier I still have a long way to go."
Toboe said as he turned his head away from the wolf. Knight on the other hand couldn't help the smirk that formed on his face, and the small chuckle that escaped his lips.
"Heh, yea it sure looks that way doesn't it."
"Hey! Exscuse me for not being rasied in a pack."
Toboe said as he glared at the wolf next to him. The young pup stood up and started to head out of the den. Knight saw this as he too stood up and went to follow him. Toboe saw that Knight was following him so he turned his head at told him in a angry growl.
"Why are you following me? I want to be alone so why don't you go find some else to make fun of."
Knight sighed as he took a cauious step forward, and spoke kindly to the young wolf.
"I would but I was told by your alpha's mate to keep an eye on you, so as much as you would like to be alone I can't alow it."
Toboe growled again, turned his attention to the valley outside, smirked at the black wolf and spoke once more.
"Well if that is what you want to do then you better keep up, cuz once I start going I don't stop."
Toboe then took off like a shot down the hill and into the valley. Knight was shocked at how fast the pup moved, but he just shook the feeling off and took off after the brown wolf before he could get into more trouble.

As Kiba was on his way to meet Tsume and his friends, he couldn't help but look out into the valley. The white wolf smiled as he saw some more pups running around playing with each other, while thier parents kept a close eye on them. Kiba sighed sadly as he saw the look of pure happiness that the parents where showing for their pups.
"I wish me and Tsume were that happy."
Kiba thought to himself as he sighed once more, shook his head and continued on his way to his mate and friends.
(Tsume, Hige, Blue)
"So Tsume how are you and Kiba doing with Toboe?"
"Hn...well he is still dense when it comes to basic wolf behavior, but I guess we are doing ok so far..."
Tsume said as he streached his legs out and sat down on a flat rock, that over looked the entire area of the terriotry.
"Well that's great to know, cuz he seemed very happy to come."
Blue said as she rested her head on Hige's shoulder. Hige nodded in agreement at what his mate said.
"Yea I agree with Blue, I mean it's been awhile since I acutally seen him smile. Oh by the way Tsume I was wondering how are you and Kiba doing with the whole pup thing?"
Tsume let out a warning growl as soon as he heard the pup word. Which made Higue shut his trap insintly.
(Kiba)
Kiba soon came upon Tsume and his friends, as he continued on his way towards them, he heard the last part of the conversation and he stopped in his tracks.
"Pups..."
Kiba spoke softly as he had a distant look on his face. Tsume heard the whispered word, and turned his full attention to his mate. He noticed the hurt look on his face, growled and glared at Hige, then he slowly walked up to Kiba.
"Kiba..."
Tsume whispered as he approched the dazed looking wolf. Kiba suddenly snapped out of his daze and locked eyes with Tsume. The white wolf released a whimper but put a smile on his face.
"I-It's ok Tsume...I was just a little surprised that you guys were talking about that topic is all."
Tsume looked at Kiba, took a step closer, then licked his mate's muzzle to give him some comfort. Kiba in turn licked Tsume back and nuzzled his head against his neck. The two wolves nuzzled each other for a few moments, until Kiba stood back.
"Thanks Tsume I feel better now so why don't we go back over to Hige and Blue."
The gray wolf looked his mate over once more, nodded in agreement, then walking side by side they rejoined their friends.

As Toboe found a stream of water he slowed down and took a drink. He needed to replenish his water intake from all the running he did, trying to get away from his follower. He then walked over to a tree and sat down under it to catch his breath. The young wolf sighed in relief that he was finally alone. So he took in the area around him, and noticed that it was very peaceful here. He took a deep breath and inhaled all the scents that were there, while closing his eyes so he could savor the wonderful smells. But his silent paradise was cut short cuz the sound of paws hitting the earth, made him open his eyes and turn tworad where he came. After a few seconds of tension filled silence, the object that made the sounds finally apeared from the bushes. Toboe groaned as he saw who it was.
"How did you find me so fast?"
The black wolf smirked as he trotted up to the pup and sat down in front of him. Toboe just rolled his eyes as he looked out at the water.
"It wasn't that hard really, considering this terriotory smells like wolf, it wasn't hard to figure out where the smell of dog came from."
Toboe snapped his head back to the wolf and growled at him. Knight chuckled nerivously as he watched the brown wolf. He then cleared his throat and spoke with a kind voice.
"I'm sorry Toboe I ment no disrespect, it's just that I never thought a group of wolves would take a half breed into their pack."
Toboe growled once more as he sent a deadly glare toward the black wolf.
"Oh yea no DISRESPECT there, thanks."
Knight tilted his head to the side thinking of what brought that comment on. But then it dawned on him about what he said.
"Oops I did it again didn't I?"
Toboe just turned his head back to the water and kept silent. Knight sighed again as he moved at little closer to the brown wolf. He really wasn't hitting it off with his alpha's friend's pack mate at all. But he wouldn't give up yet.
"Look Toboe I am really sorry about what I said at the den and about what I said earlier. I really am I guess I'm not good with saying the right things at the right time. But I really hope we could be friends somehow."
Knight waited for the young pup to say something. Toboe on the other hand just kept looking out at the water. The black wolf, noticing that he was no longer welcome to be there decided to head back. So he slowly stood up, sighed, and spoke softly.
"Again I am very sorry about what I said and how I acted."
Knight then turned to head back, but a soft voice stopped him.
"You know you really know how to beat an apologie to death."
Knight was speachless at what the brown wolf said as he watched said wolf get up and walk tword him. Toboe smiled happily at the black wolf with his tail wagging behind him.
"So would you like to show me around the territory...friend?"
Knight snapped out of his daze as he too smiled, wagged his tail, and nodded his head.
"Sure I would love to."
"Good."
Toboe said as he then folllowed Knight back the way they came and started heading back to the rest of the pack.

When Kiba, Hige, Tsume, and Blue finished their conversation, they decided to head back to the den. Tsume and Hige took to the front, while Blue and Kiba stayed in the back. The group walked in silence for a few minutes until Blue spoke.
"Kiba are you sure okay? You seem down, is there something bugging you?"
The white wolf glanced at his friend, glanced to the front of them to Tsume, who was in a hushed conversation with Hige. He then returned his eyes to Blue.
"Sigh...I'm okay Blue I'm just a little depressed is all."
"Is it cuz of the...pup comment from eariler?"
Kiba tensed up at the question but kept walking. Blue saw the sudden tension in her friend's body and sighed sadly.
"Poor Kiba he really does want pups. I just wish I could do something for him and Tsume."
Blue thought to herself as the group continued the walk up the hill and to the entrance to the den. When the wolves arrived at the mouth of the den Hige noticed that something was wrong. Blue seeing the intense look on her mate's face wondered what was causing it.
"Hige? What is it?"
Kiba and Tsume came up and stood next to the other wolves and looked into the den. Tsume tensed up and Kiba gasped. What they saw was that the den was empty, Toboe and Knight were nowhere in sight. Higue growled at this and turned to find out where they went. Blue just shook her head as she looked in the den and the direction her mate just went. She looked over at her friends and saw the scared look that crossed Kiba's face. Tsume on the other hand had a expressionless face like he always did. He sighed nuzzled Kiba's neck, whispered comforting words in his ear and went off to find Toboe with Hige. Blue watched him leave and went over to sit next to Kiba.
"Kiba it's okay we'll find them don't worry."
Kiba just layed down and released a soft whimper. Blue frowned at the white wolf and decided to lay down next to him. Kiba just kept to himself not even reacting to when Blue caressed his cheek with her nose. The frown on her face deepened when the white wolf continued to ignore her comfort. She then looked back at where Hige and Tsume went. Oh how she hoped they found the young wolves soon.
Oh no our two young wolves have gone missing! What will happen? Well we will just have to wait until the next chapter. Se you all next time!
