Chapter 24

Tanya sat in front of the fire pit that the wolves had added to the floor and thought about what she had been told earlier.

"So you're telling me that these wolves are spirits?" she had asked.

"Well, it shouldn't be that unbelievable what with everything else we've been through," Kat had replied.

Tanya sighed and gazed into the flames.

Kenshin was still out cold and Kat had rewrapped his foot using the dust covered medical book that she had used previously to save his life.

Inuyasha had fallen asleep after beginning to experience the effects of the new moon.

It was the day before the new moon and he was more tired than usual.

Tanya was happy to spend the past week at the hut.

It was like reliving a dream to be back after so long.

Everything was still intact and well kept since Inuyasha had been living there.

Tanya would have expected it to be a mess since guys weren't the cleanest creatures on earth but she was surprised at how neat the hanyou was.

She hugged her knees and her mind wandered back to Jason. (A/N: Did I mention him yet? Sorry if I didn't, he's Tanya's crush.)

Kat had disappeared a few hours ago and was now in her room asleep on a futon setup next to Kenshin's.

Something warm rubbed against Tanya's face.

She looked down to see Suzaku looking eagerly at her.

The wolf was so white, her fur reflected the moon light and gave it have an eerie glow.

The black mass behind Tanya shifted and if it weren't for the Kageunsei's eyes, the wolf would be almost impossible to see.

Her stomach growled.

Suzaku seemed to smile and there was a soft rustling sound.

A cup of hot chocolate appeared in front of her.

'Hope you like it with lots of chocolate.'

Tanya jumped not being used to the way the wolves communicated and nodded, "It's the only way to have coco."

'Why are you still awake?' Kageunsei asked, slightly annoyed.

"Does everything I do bother you?" Tanya snapped.

'Yes' he replied flatly.

Tanya huffed, "My life is so weird."

Suzaku whined 'You enjoy it though.'

Tanya nodded in agreement and set her mug down.

She watched the steam coming off it for a few more minutes before standing up, "Well, I'm going to bed."

She looked out the window to see that it was snowing again and shivered.

Suzaku nodded to show that she was listening to Tanya and curled up against her black friend.

Kageunsei shifted and leaned away in protest but his white friend was fast asleep.

He heaved a sigh and the fire snuffed out.

He didn't feel tired but he also didn't want to wake Suzaku so he laid his head on his paws and shut his eyes to think.

The house creaked from the wind that gusted outside and all was quiet.

(A/N: I love snow. Well I tried to post it in HTML but it just doesn't work! Yah, so PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
