Chapter 16-Farwell Yasuo

"Kiba, you go ahead. I'll take of him."Shives seriously.

"I'll stay here with her." said Hige. "You can't handle this guy on your own." He said looking at Shives.

"I'll stay here too." said Toboe.

Kiba nodded thankfully. "Tsume? You ready to go?"

Tsume nodded confidently and the two wolves ran passed Yasuo.

"Good luck you three!" Tsume yelled over his shoulder.

Yasuo watched the white and gray wolves disappear into the fog.

"Well my friends, shall we begin?" Yasuo waved his fan in the air and an enormous Tornado descended from the sky.

"What the hell is that?!" Hige said in complete shock.

"That, my friend, is going to kill you. But why have one tornado? When I can have a hundred!" He waved his fan ferociously, laughing his cute little laugh.

Shives and the two boys darted for the evil wolf but before they could lay a finger (and/or paw) on him, they were caught in a massive tornado. The force was only strong enough to lift poor little Toboe and send him crashing into the sandy ground below.Hige and Shives, on the other hand, were screaming in agony as the wind ripped through, slicing and opening their skin.Toboe stumbled lifting himself up and watched in horror as his friends were literally, being torn apart. He was left breathless seeing Shives clasps to the ground.

"Shives." He whispered, completely damaged by the site of Shives not moving.

Toboe noticed that Yasuo was constantly moving away from his own bad creations. Why was he so afraid of them? Toboe gasped realizing that Yasuo couldn't exactly control his deadly tornadoes.

Hige searched for Toboe while trying to help Shives up.

"Toboe?!Where are you?!" He spotted the runt running towards Yasuo at full speed.

Shives finally opened her eyes also seeing Toboe running. "Toboe! What the hell are you doing?!" She yelled.

Toboe didn't answer.Yasuo became aware of Toboe's presence but wasn't unaware of the tornado following the little wolf.Yasuo threw his fan towards him and it produced several feathers as sharp as blades and just as lethal. The blades hit Toboe in the leg, arms, and slit the side of his neck.

Hige was amazed at even though Toboe was wounded badly he still running.

"Toboe? Why are you going this?" Hige was whispering holding Shives close to him as the Tornado around them continued to spin and cut flesh.

"Toboe! Don't do it you'll die!" Shives concluded what the reddish brown wolf was going to do.

Yasuo was astonished by his speed and was knocked to the ground when he was tackled by the young wolf. The tornado surrounded the two of them, ripping and tearing at their fur and flesh.

Shives screamed witnessing Toboe's suicidal accomplishment. The sky calmed down and the tornadoes vanished.Shives and Hige dashed over to the two wolves.Shives lifted Toboe and cradled him in her arms, shaking him a bit.

"Toboe? Toboe? Wake up! Please wake up." She began to cry. Toboe slowly opened his eyes but only half way.

"Hey Shives." He voice was weak.

"Don't you hey me! You could have been killed!" A mixture of anger and sorrow filled her mind.

Hige noticed the numerous bloody gashes all over the runt's body.Suddenly; Hige thought to himself, that Toboe was not so much of a runt after all. His thoughts were broken when hearing and seeing him cough up blood.

"Toboe."Shives tried to help him but he stopped her.

"Don't worry about me Shives.I'll be okay." His voice was becoming lower than a whisper.

Hige looked over at the dead blonde wolf, Yasuo.He turned into white dust and flutter into the wind.

"B&$#%" said Hige under his breath. He turned back to Shives and Toboe.

"Toboe? Promise me you won't do that ever again?" Shives was pouring tears all over the little one's face.

But Toboe never answered back.

"Toboe?"

There was an unnatural silence that made Shives shake in fear as she lifted her hands to her face. Hige refused to cry but the tears came anyway while turning his back to his deceased friend.

Kiba and Tsume continued their walk down the eerie bricked lane. They didn't speak to each to other but what was there to say.Tsume observed the blend of sadness and determination in the white wolf's eyes. Those solid eyes met with his.

"Kiba? If you don't find me asking, how are you feeling?" Tsume surprised himself with such a question coming from his mouth.

Kiba was silent for a few minutes before answering, "Empty. I feel...empty." His blue eyes were set upon the black castle.

He needed to see Kint again, that was only on his mind.Tsume was thinking about Hige and the others. He hoped they all made it out okay.

Hige finished covering the depressing hole while Shives looked down at it hugging herself.Hige came from behind her and held her in his arms as she silently cried.

"Come on Shives, We had to go now." He whispered in her ear.

They stumbled down the bricked lane, still hurting themselves.Toboe was gone from their lives never to be seen again, never to be heard laughing, never to be cuddled next to.Shives started crying again.

"Hey, it's okay, stop crying. We'll just find Kiba and Tsume and everything will be alright." Hige hushed and comfort her as best he could.

Shives held him tightly. "I love you Hige, don't ever leave me."

"I won't. I promise." He chuckled quietly to himself.

The two continued to walk down the path and the wind was starting to get a little chilly.Shives and Hige huddled together to keep each other warm.Shives breathed into her hands.Man! Was it cold! A tiny snowflake landed on Hige's nose.

"Huh?" He looked up into the sky holding out his hand. "Why is snowing?"

"I don't know. That's kind of weird." Shives kept her hold on Hige's shirt.

A big gust of artic wind rushed through the air and knocked the two over into the....snow? The light snowing turned into a terrible blizzard.Hige sheltered the female wolf.Hige looked down at her. She was gorgeous. He couldn't help but search her over. She was a silver wolf and her eyes were still a deep emerald color. The blizzard calmed down.

"Are you okay?"Hige blushed

"Yes." Shives blushed for the first time but for a different reason.

There, in the snow, stood a handsome long blue-haired boy about Tsume's age dressed in a black suit. He held a blue rose in his left hand. Hige helped Shives up while he kept his eyes on the new stranger.Shives was impressed with his wolf form as well. His fur was a shiny bluish-gray color and his eyes were the same color as his human eyes, hazel. He also had three tails ringed each with light blue like his neck.

"Greetings, my name is Yukio (Gets what he wants).May I ask what your names are?"

"Shives!" She basically shouted at him.

"Why do you care what are names are?" Hige didn't trust this Yukio guy much.

Yukio gave him a distasteful look then winked at Shives making her melt.

"Hige, Don't be so rude." She smiled at the handsome wolf.

"Shall we play a game?" He had sort of a British accent that Hige despised.

"Game? What game?"

"Well, the game will decide who will win this beautiful young lady's heart."

"What?!"

Shives blushed.

"Well Hige, do you accept?"

Hige looked at Shives as if waiting for an answer.

"What? Don't look at me. Do what you want!" She was once again distracted by Yukio smiling at her.

"Okay. I accept."Hige felt a little confident.Yukio looked like he can't hurt a fly.

"Shall we beginning?" He walked over to Shives and gave her the rose. "For you my goddess."

"Um...thank you." Shives blushed a deep red.

Hige growled in jealously.Yukio was being too nice.

"Hey Romeo!" Hige managed to claw Yukio across his perfect face.

Yukio wiped the blood of his face and looked at his hand. He was furious.

"Hige, I didn't plan on using brutal force in front of a lady but you leave me no chance." His eyes glowed neon blue and the chilling wind started to pick up once again.

The blizzard hit Hige hard. The ice crystal bit at his flesh.Yukio smirked at Hige's struggle with his mighty blizzard. He then turned around to the terrified Shives.

"I'm sorry my dear but this is no place for a lady."

Shives felt ice slide up her back and around her arms and legs. She was being attached to an ice block that grew slowly out of the ground. She screamed as the she when higher and higher into the air.

"Now my friend, shall we begin?" He raised his hands in the air and the blizzard stirred rapidly.

(Good thing wolves are use to this kind of weather)
