Okay this is my last chapter. I finally thought of an ending while sitting
in SS. I guess this one will work well. I'm most likely going to be writing
another chap. soon about Hige again. I have one plotted out already.
Well...kind of. Sorry it had to end this quick though.
Disclaimer- I do not own any Wolf's Rain characters.
Man I don't want to end this story yet. I wish I didn't have to, but I guess I do. So have fun reading this chapter.
-------------------------
Everyone walked quietly ignoring the sound of birds fighting miles above themselves. All they really wanted was to rest after a long days journey. To rest without having to worry if they were going to be killed that night. To rest and not worry if they were ever going to find food again. To rest in a peaceful place and not have to worry about anything.
Hige walked slowly along side with Kiba trying to keep to his pace. He was almost feeling better then he was a few days before. Almost new again. He had definitely gained his appetite back not and was eager to find food.
Toboe stayed his distance from Hige trying to not disturb him in any way. He was still nervous from when they had first fought. He never wanted to end up like this. To be afraid of him like he was now. He would look over his shoulder at him and wonder how he was surviving like this. How he ever was able to take step by step in such pain he was in. To have to deal with all the stares he got from his friends. To have to live like this.
Tsume never bothered to think about Hige. All he wanted was the fighting to stop. He couldn't stand watching each of them against each other. They were doing well last night, talking to each other. But now, they were at it again. This morning they had all argued how they were going to travel. The normal way, or a way to help Hige. Tsume wasn't sure what they were doing now.
Kiba just walked keeping a close eye on Hige. He knew he was struggling to keep pace. Out of the corner of his eye he could see him stumble a few times. He acted as if he never saw. He wanted to tell Tsume they needed a break. But that would cause Hige to get angry again at how they were teaching him as if he were almost dead. He had argued about that this morning. How everyone is looking down on him now. Like he was some baby. Well sometimes, he acted like it.
Hige just walked thinking how he was being put down every second of the day. He stumbled a few times. Hoping Kiba didn't notice, he tried to act as though he meant to fall. To possibly look at the snow or itch his ankle. He hoped a lot of stuff though. That they would find Paradise and live to have a happy life. Instead of the one he was having now. To not have fallen in that Lake. To have a meal sitting right in front of him. He hoped for a lot of stuff. He could see Toboe looking at him every now and then. God he wanted to hurt the kid a few times. Acting as though he had to keep and eye on him to make sure he didn't fall or something. But one thing he hoped for, was he had Toboe's friendship back.
The day continued pretty much like this. Not talking, glaring at each other and wishing they had food. Finally at the end of the day everyone took a break sitting on the cold snow.
"How long has it been since we've not seen snow?" Toboe asked everyone. Hoping someone would answer him, he found nobody would. "I wish I was in someplace warm. By a fire at least. That would be awful nice."
Kiba looked at him and almost laughed. "I wish I was in Paradise. Sleeping peacefully. Not worrying about anything."
"What are you worried about?" Tsume asked looking at the sunset in front of him.
Kiba looked away not finding an excuse for his words. All he really wanted was to sleep completely for once knowing he wasn't going to have to wake up and walk again. That's all he really wanted for now. Another thing he wanted was Toboe's and Hige's friendsahip back together.
Tsume looked over to everyone else then stood up. "Kiba, come with me. We're going to go hunt now. I think everyone here needs some food."
Kiba stood up then looked at Tsume. "What about them? Should we leave them?" He motioned towards Hige and Tsume who just looked confused.
"They'll be fine. We just need to get something to eat. You two don't leave this place. We'll be back later." Both of them took one last look them flew into the air and landing on the snow running towards the sun on the way for their hunt.
"Wait!" Toboe yelled after them as they jumped away. "Oh man." He sighed. Looking back at Hige he could see the teen was trying his best to ignore him.
Sighing, Toboe went to a spot where he was far enough from Hige. He could hear Hige sighing in the background. Most likely bored with the idea of sitting here doing nothing for a few hours. Knowing that Kiba was with Tsume made Toboe realize they probably wouldn't be too long. He let himself lay back onto the snow hoping he could use this time to fall asleep. But something awoke him.
"Uh...Toboe?" Toboe opened his eyes and looked at Hige. Hige had a gleam of sadness in his eyes as he looked at Toboe.
"Yeah?"
"I just...I was...I was thinking." He stopped at that sentence and looked back to the ground.
"Well that's awful new." Toboe said. He saw Hige look at him again. Just to be safe he smiled to show Hige he was only joking. Hige smiled back but stopped a second later and looked at the snow again.
Hige continued his sentence. "I was thinking that maybe...I've been wrong."
"Wrong?" Toboe turned around and sat cross-legged facing Hige. "How have you been wrong?"
Hige sighed once again and looked at him into the eyes. "About you. I mean... I've been yelling at you lately for stuff you never did on purpose. I just wanted to say—"Hige suddenly stopped what he was saying and sniffed the air. A worried glance formed n his face as he looked at Toboe. "Come on we have to go fast."
Toboe looked at him confused at what he was saying. "Why?"
"I smell a cougar. Come on we have to go before he picks up our scent." He went over to Toboe and grabbed his red sleeve and walked on. "I can smell him getting closer. We have to find a place to hide."
"But what about when Tsume and Kiba come back? What will hey think when they don't see us where they told us to be? Hige! Are you even listening?"
Hige continued to look around searching for the cougar. "Quiet. It's near. Really close actually. About, 50 feet away." He looked around then almost yelled out loud. "Toboe run!"
Toboe looked behind himself to see something yellow running after them. Knowing what Hige had just told him, he tried to run but found himself frozen on the spot. Hige had already run thinking Toboe was right behind him but found him where they were just standing. The cougar was just about 40 feet away...30...25...20...getting closer and closer, Toboe still couldn't find himself to run. ...10 feet now.
"No!" Hige ran as fast as he can knowing that the cougar would base his prey on Toboe for he was much smaller and defenseless then Hige. Hige knocked Toboe on the ground landing on him as the cougar was in the air trying to leap on Toboe. He was about to get him until Hige sent Toboe to the ground. He covered him with his body as the cougar landed on him.
Hige gasped as he felt the weight of the cougar land on him. He felt as though someone was jumping on him over and over again until he was almost dead. All that force into one huge blow. He lay listening with a frozen body underneath him. Toboe must have felt the force on him too, for he lay struggling to breathe too. Hige lifted himself up a little so Toboe could get some air into him.
He lifted his head to see the cougar looking at them in the eye. If their was only some way to get Toboe away. He looked around trying to decide how to get the cougar away. Maybe, if he got Toboe to run, he could distract it enough for Toboe to run and get help. But how long would that take? Hige sighed a sad anxious sigh and whispered into Toboe's ear his plan. Toboe nodded and waited for Hige to get off of him. Finally he felt Hige lift up. Toboe was about to get up when he felt Hige's hand press down on his back. "Not yet. Wait...wait...get ready...now!" Hige took his hand away and charged the cougar.
He heard Toboe run as he attacked the cougar. He hadn't run that fast for a while now. The shock of the water virus hit him like it did the day after he fell in. He almost fell to the ground but knew the cougar would go after Toboe. Instead he kept running at the cougar and then jumped onto him biting his neck. The cougar didn't realize the wolf until he bit down onto his own flesh.
The cougar yowled from the pain but still fought back. He flung Hige from his neck, which sent him flying a few feet back. He heard a yelp as Hige landed on his side. 'Just a little more.' Hige thought as he charged the attacker again.
--------------------
Toboe was running as fast as he could taking sharp breathes. From behind him he heard a large piercing yowl notifying him the cougar was being attacked. But the yowl only turned to a yelp from his faithful friend Hige.
He stopped and looked back but kept running. He had to get help as fast as possible. Hoping Hige would be okay when he got back, he ran faster as he followed the scent from where he could smell Tsume and Kiba.
He often thought about going back to help Hige but resisted himself. There would be no way he would be a match for the cougar. He would be dead in a second at the most.
He would often hear a yowl then a yelp. But still he resisted the urge to go back. Half of the urge was the fact it would mean no help for Hige, then the other half was fear. He would never see day again if he turned around. So he best find Tsume and Kiba a fast as his little legs could carry him.
-----------------------
Tsume and Kiba were walking towards the sun set still trying to hunt when they heard a howl. Looking back, they saw Toboe a couple hundred feet away looking at them. He then started forward at such a fast pace it looked as though he was running for his life. Actually, he was running for Hige's.
Tsume and Kiba ran towards him curies why he was here. "What the hell is he doing here?" Tsume asked Kiba and himself over and over again.
When they finally reached Toboe he was completely out of breath. "Hige...cougar...in trouble. Come...with me."
Kiba understood what Toboe was saying and ran back from the direction where they came from. Tsume looked worried and chased after Kiba with great speed. Toboe ran after them trying to keep breathing and keep up with them. He prayed it wasn't too late.
-------------------
Hige kept charging the cougar making it back up but attack Hige back. Hige was wearing down fast as he tried to keep his energy. It had been almost a while since he ate but found himself with enough energy to distract the cougar. Now with Toboe out of sight, Hige was loosing the need to keep the cougar busy. The only thing keeping him moving was the fact he might be a dinner if he didn't defend himself.
He lunged at the cougar with all his strength but found his ability to dodge him weakening. He managed to dodge the attack the cougar was about to use but when he went after him again he got hit on the face. With a loud yelp, Hige flew back and fell on his side without making further motion.
The cougar looked at Hige and used his advantage while he was down. Running with his might, he was just about to jump on Hige when a white blur from no- where sent him flying sideway unable to harm the fallen wolf.
Hige looked up to see Kiba standing above him with his back towards him. Toboe and Tsume also appeared standing in front of Hige looking at the cougar with an evil look as a warning. The cougar looked at what he could see of Hige then turned around and away knowing he was more then out numbered. He made one last look before he headed out into the snow lands once again.
Everyone turned around to look at Hige when they knew the cougar was gone for good. Hige looked up at everyone and gave a weary smile before he let his head rest back on the ground again. -------------------------
Weeks later, the wolves all found themselves remaining how things were before the lake incident. Even Hige and Toboe began their wrestling games and their complaining for food. Basically everything was normal again. And everyone agreed to put the lake incident behind them for good. Only to be brought up again for special occasions. But now Hige always listens before he acts.
----------------------- Tell me what you think of this chapter please! Oh and the other ones too. Like what you liked and didn't and whatever. Don't worry I won't get offended. Its just opinion, nothing personal. I mean tell me what you think I should improve on and what I'm good at. But do I need more detail? Well I'll see you all soon! Thank you for reading this.
