Okay Chapter 3 is up! I think Kiba might be a little OOC, but oh well... I tried... anyway, I hope this chappie ins't too bad!!

The day was boring and dreary in the cave, but at least it was warmer than outside where the blizzard was raging. They had to stop to wait out the storm out because they couldn't see two feet in front of themselves.

Toboe and Hige were off in a corner, laughing together and quietly complaining about how hungry they were. Tsume threatened to eat them if they didn't shut up and stared into the white abyss that was the blizzard from the mouth of the cave.

Kiba was sitting across from the grey, brown, and tan wolves, staring at the damp cave floor. He only vaguely heard his friends talking, as he was lost in his own thoughts.

What are we sitting around here for? Kiba thought savagely. We should be looking for Paradise, not sitting here like dogs! He glanced at his pack as he thought this. Tsume says that Paradise is a load of crap, but I know that it's real.

I don't know if the others think that paradise is real. I already know Tsume doesn't. But what about Hige? Or Toboe? -He glanced at them all in turn- Maybe they think I'm crazy. But, why would they follow a crazy person?

I guess I'll just have figure it out later. I don't mind being in a pack again, a family.

Kiba smiled as he thought of his "family"- consisting of Tsume, Hige, and Toboe.

At that moment, Toboe shifted his attention from his conversation with Hige to Kiba. Kiba had a glassy-eyed expression as he watched them.

"Something wrong Kiba?" Toboe asked.

Kiba was jerked out of his thoughts by Toboe's voice.

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine..." Kiba said, startled.

Toboe shrugged and turned back to Hige. Tsume glanced at him, but looked quickly away.

My family...Kiba thought again, smirking as he did so.

So... How was that chapter? I'm having Writer's Block on Hige's chapter (I don't see how I can if I'm not even writing a story, but I won't go into the technicalities) !! If you have any suggustestions or hints I would greatly appreciate it!!! RR!!!
