I never met anyone who was my real friend... especially...when you're an outsider... searching...in a darkened world...

Snow fell in the city, not one person, stopped or spoke of the white specks falling from their black skies... A smile was even hard to find in such a town. Though an instinct brought me here, whatever it is I want to find an answer...

He shuffled through the city folk who pushed and moved him aside, with a slight mumble of cursing under his breath making his way to the abandoned structure...his only home was that place forgotten and old from years of deterioration. Leaping in the air he took hold of a pole firmly meeting ground with the torn olden floor.

I came here for a 'reason' I didn't run here senselessly for nothing... Someone is here... I know of

The scent of another hit his senses, he growled with his fangs taking away his human identity. Running out to the halls only a dark shadow was slinking on the wall, a wolf's shadow.... " That can't be....," He whispered quickly slipping from sight of any eyes.

Not even he could stay calm, his hands had beaded sweat, the slightest scent he gave away would have a wolf attacking him.... Sustaining the power to prevent from changing the sound of footsteps echoed his way.

' Great... you believe it is a wolf but now what, a human comes to catch you...great' Silence startled him, unsure to look from the safety of where he stood, looking out to only see a black dog.... dark deathly blue eyes glared at him.

Feeling so numb he stumbled back letting out a cry of horror, it threw itself at his side ripping a piece of clothing along with bite marks. Stinging warm blood fell off him, turning a man with a low cap and senseless drunken eyes pointed a gun at him.

" A wolf I see, not even you can fool Blue," He snarled and shot at him feeling a bullet rip in his side, screaming he bit into the man's arm for a slight moment for him to release the weapon. All that was on his mind was 'run' he had to keep moving...

..

Another shot rang in his ears, heavy boots tromped on the ground, each corner was a dead end, windowless rooms.... the only way out was to reach the roof. Walking lightly on the flooring he made his way up the stairs, cold air touched his bare skin.

Looking out to the end of the rim with green eyes and red hair with a streak of black he ran with speed. Hearing the hunter shoot again with the smell of blood in the air the dog snapped at a piece of clothing as he fell.

The wind.... stung his face harshly... falling to another ledge the dog along with the torn cloth fell with it's back to the ground. With a slight grin of relief he looked back...he had to do something... but with people talking below curiously there was no chance possible...

The wounds he feared now... what would he do to heal himself. There was nowhere to dash to, nobody had the existence of him in their minds. Blood loss hit him hard and he staggered in his wolf form.... running with yellow eyes glancing to any help.

People looked down at him with looks of fear or disgust... 'humans... I hate them' With effortless help he collapsed nearby a tree, the ground wasn't settle for him to hop over.

Reluctant of finding a place there was the fear to never wake again...the smell... of not only the one he searched for... but of the flowers. That thrived his heart both for the reasons, but settling against the wood he slept cautiously.

..

Toboe stopped in his tracks whipping his head back sniffing the air, the others noticed this, Tsume rolled his eyes as if saying ' not this again' Even though they could tell something bothered him. His golden eyes looked back at their own, " I.... I don't know but, someone...is in pain,"

Kiba looked at him confused, why was he able to smell something the others couldn't detect. Would it really be another wolf, and why would it even be in danger? " We can't turn back.... we left for good," He made a motion with his hand giving the look to forget it, "Tsume, you know nothing," Kiba mumbled harshly.

" We must turn back...please..," Toboe gave each a look for some approval from the others, with one nod from Kiba he grinned lightly. With a sigh rising from the other two he didn't pay attention, all what was on his mind was that scent...

Coming into the city so suddenly with an abrupt dashing to where the feeling retched at his heart, tears for the first time melted in his eyes. Streaming down his face, he bit his lip from trying not to howl, this was the same place... where him and Tsume were.

As he edged to the tree fresh blood from nearly a hour's waiting tracked up to a dazed and sweating human coveted in blood. Instead of tears he whined meeting his eyes... he lay still with a unsure face.

Wolf tracks were smeared around him, as he had circled for some time to ease the pain of the feeling of dying...

..

He looked at this boy with a feeling inside, that scent.... it was him he searched for, but for what reason was that? Another man ran to his side and looked down on his body, " You did actually find someone," The man's hair was silver with distinct golden eyes.

Closing his eyes he felt a hand on his forehead, opening them to a boy with brown hair and green eyes, " You were searching for Paradise.... weren't you?" Kiba whispered, with a short nod in exhaustion the wolf man eyed him.

" You'll be fine, just rest alright?" The boy stated as Toboe grinned with his sharp teeth and they seemed to walk off over to the others with low whispers....

He would have to see Toboe as a wolf to actually seem to know him, for any remembrance of his blurred past. ...

" What are you stated as?" Tsume gave him a look, looking from his feet to mess of red and black hair.

Ignoring the question he let out a sigh, stretching out he was faithful to be healed, the bullet taken from his deep wound.

Coming into his wolf form he never wanted to conceal a person he wasn't, this is what he was... a wolf. Seeing Tsume still bent over with a gruff look only then did he see the others were staring at him with as wolves.

' I'm Kyonei.....' His eyes widened and he saw Toboe look back at him taken back....

' What's going on....?' Hige questioned Kiba, even he was unable to answer, their eyes had not moved away from one another... each knew... who they were...
