Chapter 14-Enjoying the moment

The 5 wolves raced across the desert. The sun was beginning to set and the needed to find shelter.Unfortunately, they were stuck with staying underneath a bridge that connected with the train track, but it was better than nothing. There wasn't any wood to make a fire so they just sat there. Hige helped keep Toboe warm, Kiba stared at the night sky deep in thought while Tsume and Shives passed threatening glares to one another.

Kint, my paradise, why did you just die like that? You were underneath me. I protected you so why did you die? Tears began to fill his eyes once more.Damn it Kint! What did I do wrong? He softly cried himself asleep.

Tsume watched everyone sleep peacefully. Everyone but Shives.She was trying to but was shivering violently. If Tsume didn't do anything, she would get sick and cause the rest of the pack to slow down.Tsume growled annoyed with what he had to do. He sat next to the shivering girl and scooped her into his lap. He let her rest her head on his chest as she slowly calmed down her body. He blushed hearing her moan in contentment in her sleep.Tsume shortly went to sleep, resting his head on hers.

The next morning came slowly. The air was fresh but dry.Hige and the others watched Tsume cuddle closer to Shives as she did the same. They were lying face to face on the ground.

"Hige, Toboe wake them up, we're leaving." Kiba commanded.

"Sure thing.Hey lovebirds let's go! Time to get up!"

Shives was the first to open her eyes seconds before Tsume's.

"Ah!" She punched him away and recoiled into a ball when she sat up. "Tsume you pervert!"

Was every girl going to call him that? He didn't try explaining, it would only generate more chaos, questions...and Hige's mouth.

Their journey continued slowly.Kiba wasn't up to running and no one was complaining about that.Shives decided it was time to get to know the boys better. She tried Hige, considering he was always staring at her.

"Hey Hige?"

"Hm?"

"What's you favorite color?" Hey, it was a stupid question but she had to ask something to kill the dead silence.

"Um...I don't know. I guess blue or maybe green like the color of your incredible eyes." He winked at her.

"Uhhhh...huh.What about you Toboe?"

Toboe was walking beside her kicking up the sand.

"I never really thought about it.Well...Maybe-"

"Pink!" interrupted Hige.

"Pink? Why pink?" Shives asked puzzled.

"Because pink is weak just like the runt here." Hige messed with Toboe's hair.

"I'm not weak. I'm just a little smaller than you guys." He looked almost ashamed.

"Ha! A little? Try a lot! Plus, I've noticed you're wearing a pink shirt."

"It's not pink, it's red."

"Pink!"

"Red!"

"Pink! It's a weak pink shirt Ha ha!"

"Hige, it's red!"

Shives sighed watching the two wolves wrestle in the sand. She wondered if Kiba and Tsume had more sense than the two in the sand. She walked in between the gray and white wolves.Tsume was giving her an accusing look.

"What?" He continued to look at her.

"What?!"

"You started a fight back there, are you going to do the same here?"

"Or are you going to ask us to play hide and seek? added Kiba as he looked straight ahead.

"No and no. I simply came up here to enjoy the moment."

"Enjoy the moment? We're walking." said Tsume smartly.

Shives leaned over to Kiba. "See there's the sign?"

"What sign?" Kiba asked completely confused.

"That you two aren't enjoying the moment." She walked in front of them with her hands behind her back.

Tsume smiled to himself. He was beginning to feel relaxed around this odd she-wolf. Her attitude wasn't too bad either.

He followed Shives and tripped her. She fell on her butt as she let out an ow.Hige saw what happened and helped her up.Toboe caught up with Kiba and Tsume, who were meters ahead.

"Tsume? What was that for?!"

Tsume had his hands behind his head as he continued to walk away.

"I was enjoying the moment." He waved without turning around.

Something tells me that wolf is going to be a problem. She thought.

"Tsume, you jerk!"

One big happy family, enjoy the moment.

Will Kint come back or will Shives replace her? Why is Kiba distanct?Is he still thinking about Kint? And lastly,Was Tsume flirting?!
