Yayz! Next chappie! thinks...thinks...cant think No! I cant think of what
to say! Oh well, an oldie.
Now, here is the 5th chapter dulls – ville
The next morning, Kilara was up, sharpening the needles of darts, dagger points, edges of knives, and even the double tips of a katana. After that, she measured how much poison she had in viles, sleeping powder in pouches, a little bit of this stored somewhere, a little bit of that found elsewhere. When Tsume awoke, he saw her counting all her equipment. He was awed at how much "junk "she carried. He only had a dagger, his claws, and his teeth. Kiba might have a knife or two, and he knew for sure Toboe and Hige had nothing else. Except the natural teeth/claws thing.
Kiba woke up next, and watched as the assassin poured green liquid (he figured it was some kind of poison) into an empty vile, and mixed powder with it, turning the concoction a reddish purple. Hige was up a few seconds after him, along with Blue, and the sounds of birds woke Leara and Toboe almost 20 minutes later. Together, they packed up, put out the fire, and were on their way again
Yesh, I know. The whole "It will take about a week for Toboe to heal " thing. Lets just say about that much time has passed.
Kiba – surprisingly – took the lead, talking playfully with Kilara. Hige and Blue walked in the middle, flirting with each other, followed by Toboe and Leara, then lastly Tsume. Tsume, bored out of his wits, decided to listen in on others conversations.
"So, where are you headed to now, Kiba? "Kilara asked.
"Paradise. Darcia said he'd meet us there, and Im hoping I'll be able to kill him there, too. "was the reply from the white wolf.
"And this Cheza girl? "
"Hige knows more than I do about most of the Nobles and Cheza. "
"You like her, than? "
"No I don't. "
"Of course you do. I can see it in your eyes, and hear it in your voice. It sounds exactly like when you liked me. "' Moving on..' thought Tsume, turning his attention toward Blue and Hige.
"So, what's it like out here, away from the city? "Blue questioned.
"Well, pretty much the same. Boring, hunger, running from everything. The usual. "Hige answered casually.
"Wow. Sounds exciting. So, why are you going to Paradise? Its just a tale, and it probably doesn't exist. "
"Well, Kiba and I met up with this Noble, who took Cheza. And once the flower scent left the city and everyone was after us, we decided " Why not? "I mean, its adventure, and there's really nothing better to do. "
"Ha. Your right. Hiding from humans is so boring, because most of them cant even track you down properly. No offense to you, girl. "Blue said as she saw Leara look up. ' Ok, lets move on to these two '.
"So, Leara. What do you think about our journey? "
"Well, it depends. It seems pretty important, but what if she's right? "Leara replied, pointing to Blue.
"Blue? Well, I don't know. Its better than staying in the city and just waiting to be shot down or being taking to that laboratory. " Toboe shivered.
"I guess that's true. Life must be pretty hard on you guys. "
"I guess..."
"What do you mean by that? "
"Well... when I was little, I never really knew my parents, and this old lady took care of me. She was really nice, and I was trying to play with her one day and..."
"You – accidentally – killed her? "Toboe nodded. "Im sorry. Im sure you didn't know what you were doing. "
"But – I liked the city, to. When I met Tsume...kinda...I'd never met anyone else like me before. Tsume's nice. He saved me, twice, for no reason. "Leara smiled.
"Oh, Im sure he cares. Why else would he? "
"I don't know. But he always says how weak I am and stuff, and that he doesn't care what happens to me. "Leara gazed at him in confusion.
"Really? "A nod. Before anything else was said, Hige began to complain.
"Im tired. "
"Oh, c'mon. We've only walked 54 miles. "Kilara said. Leara began slightly falling behind, and Hige looked back.
"Im tired, Toboe looks tired, the girls falling behind. C'mon, lets take a break already! "
"Yeah, fine. Just shut up, will you? "Kiba said in annoyance.
After resting for almost an hour, they had replenished their strength and stamina, and their hunger. Hige was happy, Leara seemed more willing to go on, and everyone else was fine. So, packing the food back up, they set off again, following the riverside.
"Hey, look! What's that over there? "Blue suddenly said, pointing across the current and over to a dome. It was another city.
"Should we go? "Toboe asked uncertainly. Kilara looked at Kiba, and so did everyone else.
"How many want to? "he asked.
"Does it mean more food and rest? "Hige asked excitedly.
"I don't know. "Tsume leaned against a tree.
"That place has nothing. At least, that's what I know of. "They looked at him. "I've been there before, a long time ago. Last time I was there, it was all in ruins and no one was there. Hell if I know what's happened to it. "Silence.
"OK, knowing this information, who still wants to go? "
"I think we should at least see if we can find anything useful. " Nods.
"OK, lets go. "Kiba went to the edge of the water and jumped in, swimming across. Hige went next, followed by Blue and Kilara.
"Toboe..." Leara began. He turned to her.
"What is it Leara? "
"I cant swim..." That was a problem. They could possibly hurt her if they dragged her across, being they were all wolves. And Toboe couldn't carry her, he was to small. Tsume was the only one left.
"Well...I guess we can stay here and wait for them to return..."
"To dangerous. "Tsume interrupted. "I'll carry her. "Changing into his wolf form, Leara carefully got on his back. She was pretty light to Tsume, and he began swimming. Toboe followed, carrying the knapsacks with him.
"OK, are we all ready to move on? "Kilara said in irritation. Everyone began moving toward the city, and reached it just before it began to snow.
"Well, there's nothing here. What now? "Kiba asked after they had all thoroughly searched the city.
"Well, since there's a snowstorm out there, why not stay in here? "Hige suggested with a grin. Kilara shrugged.
"Sure. Why not? "So, they all agreed to stay for the night. Since the town was empty, they decided to do their own exploring and meet back at the large tower they stood outside of right then. They split up in this order:
Hige and Blue
Kiba and Kilara
Leara and Toboe
Tsume
Eventually, though, Leara and Toboe just followed Tsume, who was looking through expensive buildings and stores for anything of value.
"So...Tsume...um...what did you do in the city when you lived with humans? "Leara asked curiously.
"I stole valubles. "came the casual reply as Tsume jumped out of a building, finished with his search.
"Um...ok. What did you do for fun? "
"I never did anything ' fun '. Unless you include listening to that brat whine. "Toboe blushed a bit, and Leara glared.
"Ok then. What did you do with other humans? "
"Order them around. "Toboe answered angrily. Tsume stopped walking and turned.
"Oh, like you never did? "
"I didn't. "Toboe answered truthfully.
"Which is why I wonder how you survived. I mean, your scared of birds, you depend on others. What did you do, beg for food? "At this remark, Toboe ran in the other direction, tears falling from his face.
"Toboe, come back! "Leara shouted after him. Tsume blinked in surprise, then cursed himself for what he had done, running after them.
"So, what was it like being the inspecters under-dog? "Hige asked.
"It was horrible. Sure, I got food. But it was nasty. And sure, I had shelter, but it was always to hot. And I never really got enough water, and I had to go wherever that damn human told me to. You? "
"Ha. I lived as a human. Your right, the food they eat is nasty. It taste like old, rotting meat, with the scent of flies still on it. And did you know they mix different meats to make one food? "
"Bleh. "
"I know. In these hotdog things, which aren't that bad, I learned they mix birds with horses, or something like that. "
"Yuck. "
"Yeah. And – "Hige was cut off by the sound of footsteps and a – helicopter?
"What's that? "Blue asked.
"I dunno. Sounds like it could be a Noble. C'mon, lets go tell the others. "
Toboe heard Leara, but he couldn't stop running. He wouldn't. Especially when he heard Tsume right behind her.
"Why is Tsume so mean? "he thought out loud to himself. He turned into an alley, then down another street, then another alley and right to another street. Finally, he stopped. The sound of a helicopter reached his ears, and the same scream he had heard in the other city. Covering his ears, he tried to get rid of the noise, but couldn't. It was a sad voice, and he felt himself cry. 'No. I cant cry. I cant. It would prove Tsume was right. I can't cry...' But, no matter how hard he tried, the screaming just kept getting louder and louder. 'Stop...'
Tsume stopped running just as he was a few inches ahead of Leara, and covered his ears. The screaming he heard in the city, he heard again. Only this time, it was much louder. MUCH louder. Leara heard it to, but barely. Her ears weren't as delicate as a wolves, though, so she had no problem. Soon, though, she relized this, and leaving Tsume behind, after telling him she was going to keep looking and got a slight nod of approval, she ran ahead to where she heard someone whimper.
Hige stopped, covering his ears in pain. Blue did to, and they both sat in the office building in agony, since they were higher, thus closer to the sound. Hige managed to look out the windows and see Leara running down the street, away from the figure of Tsume. Hige nudged Blue, and getting the hint, they managed to walk down the stairs and near the streets. The voice wasn't that bad, being the building cut off some of the noise except where and upstairs window, such as in the room they were just in, and beckoned Tsume inside. Together, they all managed to find a door and stairway that lead down to a basement, with no windows, only a light, which Tsume turned on. The noise was gone, except for a small vibration of it, and they were able to hear themselves again.
"Where was Leara going? "Hige asked immediately.
"Toboe and I got in a fight, and since she can't hear the noise, she kept looking for him. "
"Poor kid. I hope he isn't hurt. "
Kiba and Kilara were already in a basement of a building when they heard the faint scream, and went to check what was going on. When they got outside, they saw Toboe huddled in a corner, covering his ears. Exactly what they were doing. Kiba ventured out and grabbed Toboe, leading him inside. Even after they were in the basement, he was still crying.
"Where's the girl and Tsume? "Kiba asked, nudging him. Toboe uncovered his ears and looked at Kiba.
"You heard that, didn't you? "A nod.
"Where's the girl and Tsume? "Kiba demanded.
"I – don't know. Tsume – and I got into a fight, and I left them – I don't know where they are..."
"Well, that's some help. Lets just hope they're safe. "Toboe stood up quickly.
"What if they aren't? That scream – that was from Cheza, wasn't it? That means there are Nobles. What if they find them? What if they get hurt? What if – "
"What if you stay quiet and hope they're OK until the noise stops? "No comment. "OK then. We'll wait. "
Well, Im guessing you already knew it was Cheza, if you've seen the third episode. Well, I dunno how Im doing. Truth be told, you guys are great reviewers wink wink, hint hint This is honestly the most amount of reviews I've ever gotten because of the OOC. Hehe I think this story will end up failing for that same reason. BUT I can hope it won't, and try harder. Right? Right?
Pwease review! Sanks!
O, and since they don't have fanart here (as far as I know) why dontcha visit my little website – like place? It got Toboe...and Kiba, soon. And Im working on Hige. If ya want, go to: http:deviantart.thedevilscrazychild.com
(It might be deleted though, cuz this girl says I stole fanart...whatever, the piece was from a friend who asked me to put it up. But you can try if ya want, anyway)
