Hmmmn---not the best results for the last chapter but then again it was kinda slow moving. Either that or you guys are a little leery to having so many new characters, but (Places one hand over heart and one over the Bible) I hereby promise not to let them take over this story. How was that? Believe me. Please. But hopefully you'll warm up to them cause their nice people
In case you haven't picked up the pattern, every chapter focuses on different characters---ex 2nd chapter: Cheza, 3rd chapter: Hige---Well I'm telling you this cause I have a treat!! Yup, you guessed it, today's chapter focuses on the precious, kawaii TOBOE!!! Hehe, he is my fav. Character so I'm xcited to say the least, but so no one gets confused it's not nor will it ever be in POV. For me POV is to challenging and I need a little more experience!
Nami: today I have a replacement for Kaida, due to reasons beyond our control---ahemm so without further ado (drum roll) introducing the new announcer: my cat Chalupa!!
Chalupa: :3 meow?
Kaida: (stomps in) What is this about you replacing me with a CAT!!??
Nami: (petting her baby) well Chupa doesn't tell people I'm abusive when he knows he is the one who is always thrashing me
Kaida: hey it's not just me!! Your sister helps! Ummm that's not what I meant---
Nami: well it really doesn't matter because I have Chewy (cat jumps off her lap and goes to find food) He-HEY!!?? Where do ya think you're going?
Kaida: (sigh) (pats Nami on the back as she cries) It's all for the best, your readers probably think you're insane!
Nami: but choosing food over me--
Kaida: (sigh) well guys she'll get over this one (Nami crying in background) Ehhem so on to the next chapter!!

The scorching sun shone overhead as 7 wolves walked panting to the outskirts of the cosmic desert. Their dragging paws scuffed the sweltering sand as they slowly trudged their way forward.
Toboe, feeling overwhelmed by the immense heat pounding over them, ceased his pace and turned to human form. "Guys, please can we stop? I'm feeling dizzy." He whined in a croaky voice as he plopped down on the white, grainy sand.
Hige turned to his young companion, he too turned to his human appearance and heaved his sweat-drenched body over to the flushed boy. "I agree with Toboe," he sighed happy to be able to sweat through skin for a while. "We should stop and rest."
"I don't think that's a good ide---" Yasuo spoke up, only to be interrupted by his blood eyed friend.
"Sorry, Yas' , but I gotta agree with these guys! I mean it's not so easy lugging around Whitey here." He chortled adjusting his hold on Tsume.
"Like it's heaven for me?" Tsume started, growing irritated at the blonde man's hysterics. "I mean you smell like tennis shoes and armpit, there's a little invention called 'deodorant', ever considered using it?" Tsume broke into his own mirth only to feel his body being brutally dropped to the sand-packed earth below. "Oof," he groaned clutching his ribs. "What the hell was that about!!??"
Kuri only held his chin to the blazing afternoon sky above, ignoring the ranting below him. "Got a mouth on you, you only got what you asked for." He retorted to the heavens crossly.
Toboe snapped away from his happy daydreams of crisp swims in gurgling ponds at the noise of his injured brother figure. "Ooh Tsume are you okay?" Toboe stumbled over to where the others were congregated.
Tsume shoved the golden-eyed boy away from him, refusing to lose his dignity while being overlooked by his new acquaintance. "I'm fine Toboe, just leave me the hell alone!!" He roared, misdirecting his irritation of his injured pride to the meek brown-haired boy.
Toboe's soft russet hair fluttered through the rising wind as his gleaming eyes turned to his feet. "I-I'm sorry Tsume I only wanted to help." He muttered flicking a piece of sand from his tattered boot.
"Well I don't need help from a cry baby like you!" Tsume growled and staggering to his feet limped away from the others. Toboe watched as his pallid-haired friend separated himself from the others by a vast, yet safe distance.
Ameya cocked her head as Tsume's mumbling profile brushed his way by her shoulder. She then turned her roving glance to the forlorn Toboe, who sat looking despondent by the abandonment of his obvious role model. Sighing she shook her head, then wandered over and sat indolently beside the dejected child. "I don't think he means eet Toby." She soothed, "he's probably just a leettle perturbed at being a burden to dee pack." She then turned her face forward, closing her emerald eyes she listened to the swirling wind as it stroked the silky champagne cloth of her robe and cooled the back of her neck.
Toboe pondered to himself over the things spoken to him before speaking. "He's not a burden," he started, voice filled with sorrow, as his cheeks grew to a bright color of scarlet. "So why does he feel that way?" He threw his arms around his somnolent legs and buried his dry, burned face in his knees. "I won't cry!" His thoughts pounded through his head, "I'll never let anyone see me cry again!!"
The coffee skinned girl, sensing Toboe wished to be left alone, rose from her seat. Dusting loose sand from her clothes she leisurely made her way to her latent companions. Time drove by as everyone sat silently, finding their selves to exhausted to say a mere word over the rising whistle of the churning wind. One by one their drowsy eyes closed, leaving them to the infinite fields of a paradise that only seemed attainable in their sleep.
Through the sleep Toboe's stirring mind refused him the rest he so desired. He lay his heavy head on the velvety sand below, only to lay restless for what seemed hours. He grew envious towards the others wondering why they could find such blissful peace where he could not. Finally, growing restive of sitting silent, he quietly rose to his aching feet and wandered from their temporary shelter of sand and sky.
Bellowing clouds of gray and black overtook the sun in a magical eclipse, leaving shade to the inhabitants of the desert beneath them. The once serene wind gave way to a stronger violence, throwing Toboe's loose garments against his slender frame. His heart beat heavy in his chest as he traipsed on, trying desperately to appear brave in the sight of this ominous storm.
"M-maybe it would b-be best if I did go back." He reassured himself that this was not cowardice for surely his companions would be worried about him if they arose to find him absent. Positive he could not be mistaken Toboe turned from his journey to locate his way back to his older friends.
"Now where did I come from exactly?" He questioned himself, growing anxious at the scene of the thick, darkening clouds. He glanced around nervously as the anxiety of being lost swiftly over took him. Thick tears welled up in his shimmering eyes as he whipped around dramatically in every direction. "I-I'm lost! Some one help me I'm lost, please!!!" He yowled voice thickening with emotions. His rising panic plagued his senses as he frantically ran forward eyes shooting back and forth through the thick veil of sand hovering through the air.
"Some one please---" he fell to his knees in both grief and fear before screaming one last cry,
"TSUME!!"
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
(A/N: back to the others when Toboe was still there)
Tsume sat staring at the others as his head pounded with thoughts. He admired Hige and Toboe for finding it so easy to trust these new acquaintances, but through his tragic life he had found that companionship is a rare thing to come by. People he felt he could trust with his life turned on him and those he cared for most were lost. Despite his self-loathing he struggled with his conscious for yelling at Toboe. He knew the pup had meant no harm but Tsume wasn't ready for that kind of attention. He was a loner, and sometimes wished he'd stayed that way.
The thick desert air fumed with the scent of rain as it wafted through the atmosphere. Tsume could since a storm was coming, despite this he lay still as if sleeping feeling a storm a minor excuse to wake the others. From across the stretch he could see the golden glistening eyes of Toboe staring intently into space. "So the pup can't get to sleep either." He thought to himself. Taking reassure in the detail that he may not be the only one finding it hard to sleep back-turned to these new strangers.
He continued to peek through squinted eyes as Toboe rose from the ground and strutted into the sandy wasteland. His heart told him to chase after the young pup, to warn him of the storm he was sure would come, but his head told him to let the auburn haired boy find his own way. The pup was growing older, he needed to learn to fin for himself and pay better attention to his senses. With this thought at hand the cool wind and warm sun-soaked sand lured him to a comfortable, deep sleep.
"Tsume, Tsume!! Wake up dammit!!" Tsume opened his heavy eyes, ready to lash out at whoever or whatever had been brave enough to wake him from his sleep.
"What the hell is it?!" Tsume snarled throwing his muscular hand around the neck of his waker.
"Hey, hey chill out tough guy!" Hige weezed through Tsume's tight grip. "I was just going to tell you that it looks that a sand storm's coming and we can't find Toboe!"
"What!?" Tsume inquired, refusing to show fear for his lost companion.
Hige ignored the question as he rubbed his sore neck and mumbled to himself about not even getting a "sorry".
"Hige, you idiot, stop whimpering like a baby and tell me what the hell you're talking about!!" The leather-wearing man growled as the dark clouds above accented his bellowing anger.
Hige stopped rubbing his neck and turned to his friend with a sudden serious accent to his voice. "A sand storm is coming and no one can find Toboe, have you seen him around at all?" Hige was cut off as Tsume stepped around him and staggered over to Yasuo.
"Yasuo!!" Tsume yelled as he made his way over to the short, messy haired man. "Toboe's missing?" He questioned in a rhetorical manner hoping for a more extent explination.
Yasuo turned to face the source of the voice, his gray eyes widened as he realized who was calling for him. "W-well yes," he started slowly recovering from his initial shock, "we tried to pick up his scent but I'm afraid the wind has blown it away, as well as his footprints." Yasuo watched compassionately at what he was sure was one of the few times Tsume had ever been visually distraught. "Don't worry," he assured the white-haired man, "we are doing everything we can to find him."
Tsume closed his yellow eyes momentarily from slight embarrassment, and then he looked to the sky above. Streaks of lightning spread through the clouds setting a foreboding glare across the darkening sky. "If we can't find him here we have to go out there." He bellowed through the roaring wind and thickening sandy air.
Yasuo squinted to where Tsume had once been and pointed his voice to that direction. "It's too risky!!" He screamed shielding his face from sharp sand with his arm, "I can hardly see, and we're standing still! If we tried to go out in the desert it would mean our deaths for sure!!"
Tsume shifted wearily in his spot, "What kind of leader are you!!?" The white-haired man demanded, "Kiba would never leave one of his pack in danger!!" He stopped and blinked. Had he really just used Kiba as an example? And what's more, had he referred Toboe as one of Yasuo's pack?? He disregarded these things, deciding he had to concentrate on the problem at hand. "If we can't see we'll just have to use our noses, but I'm not leaving Toboe out there by himself!"
Yasuo felt torn, though he wanted to help this man find his friend, but he also had the lives of his own friends to look after. He felt a soft arm brush against his and turned his head. Ameya's graceful profile could be seen through the torrents of sand streaming around them. He knew if it was Ameya lost in this dreadful desert storm he would waste no time in finding her, and with the thought passed his decision. He took a deep breath and turned once more to the imploring eyes of Tsume. "Let's do it then, you're too hurt to run off your own anyway, so let us find your friend."
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The pounding sand buried Toboe as he struggled to stay above the surface of the ground. His lungs filled with sand and his eyes grew encrusted in a rich grainy layer. "Tsume!" he hacked through dry cracking lips. "Tsume, please!!"
The bracelet-bearing boy's knees gave way as he panted for breath. He cupped his white, quivering hands around his mouth and tried to filter precious breath through the thin creases of his tightly grasping fists. Auburn hair flew angrily around his face as his heavy head nodded, ready to give way to unconsciousness. "No, NO!!" His thoughts pounded through his head. "I have to keep going! I have to prove to the rest that I'm not a child!" He wearily lifted himself onto his quaking legs, finding footholds in the shifting ground.
Thunder boomed overhead as luminous lightning struck through the tempestuous skies. Toboe struggled to trudge his way through torrential curtains of sand flying through the air. He drew in as deep a breath as could be allowed and continued to wail through the roaring winds. "Tsume!!" He yelled, "Tsume I'm here!!!" He paused a moment waiting to see if his ears could pick up a familiar voice above the howl of wind and gurgling thunder.
"Toboe!"
Toboe's heart skipped a beat. Was it his imagination or had he really heard the voice of his friends. He stopped and listened once more.
"Toboe!"
With this Toboe fell happily to his knees turning once more to wolf form. He howled louder than day and night themselves. The heavens opened and the torrential wind bowed its head in reverence to the young wolf's wail of joy.
"Toboe!! Toboe we hear you!!"
The auburn haired boy opened his sand caked eyes to see the sharpening profile of Tsume leading the pack to the place Toboe stood. At this sight the golden-eyed boy couldn't help but giggle, for Tsume, despite his pride, had allowed himself to lean on Kuri once more.
Finally he gained back his presence of mind and took off stumbling through the shifting sands to the arms of his pack member, his friend, his brother.
