First, I would like to say....HOLY MOTHER OF FREAKIN GAWD!!!!!!!!!
Eh-hem, moving along.....
I never really expected reviews about this pairing. I always thought they would pop up after that episode, but alas there's just more OC/wolf, or the now Blue/wolf. Or even yaoi. GET ALL THE FEMALE/MALE Pairings first!!
And if you do, KEEP IT IN THAT UNIVERSE WHERE WOLVES ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING!!!
Seriously, I can name almost all the cookie-cutter stories. As mentioned before we got yaoi, Chezza/wolf, OC/Wolf, Blue/Wolf, minor character fics, and Leera/Wolf fics. (I think leera's that girl in the beginning where Toboe met.) That's it! Where's Myu?! She was actually the most normal girl!! (Chezza got red eyes, Leera owned a hawk. Who the hecks have a hawk?!. Yaoi.....no bust, but enough is enough. The others are too old...er, older. Get the girl that actually has a great fashion sense!!!)
Okay, that's all for my pre-ranting drivel. Oh, and if anybody wanna know where I got my inspiration, it was right after cartoonnetwork showed episode 20....twice! Oh, that hurt me.....
One more thing. I have never written a serious story before, so don't blame me if this is COMPLETY different than what you imagined....
===============================================================================
The journey to my paradise. I've done this before, but now....now I feel hesitant. This time, I feel as if I'm afraid of what's to come. The fear that something irreversible has happened to her body, or maybe we'll never find it, or the indian tribe moved on to a different area, or maybe they were erased like the Nobles, or-
"Maybe this DAMN TRAIN WOULD GO ALREADY!!!!"
Or maybe we'll get shot for Tsume's massacre.
"Would you calm down already? You're making a scene." Hige shouted over the people crowding him.
"Yeah?! Make me! If you can even see me!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, scaring the bunched-up humans around.
I gave a heavy sigh at his bark. Why did I suggest the train? I should've known this was a bad idea, but I was too big in a hurry to find her body that I forgot that every subway is packed all the time. Now I regret it even more bringing Tsume. He doesn't excatly like being crowded, or maybe he's just insecure around humans.
"Will you GET THE FREAK AWAY FROM ME?! AND STOP TOUCHING ME!!!"
Okay, maybe he just doesn't like people period. Note that he's now considering turning into a wolf.
"RRRROAAARRR!!!"
Too late. "Hey,Tsume. Calm down. And change back, too. We promised Chezza we wouldn't do anything bad. Come on...." I reminded
He gave one last bark before transforming back into his second form. Brushing himself off, he held the hook above as if nothing happened. Unfortunetly, the humans aren't getting the hint that pretending nothing happened would help this situation. He gave a cold stare at them. "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!?!"
I slapped my head. Right now, I didn't care that this was the fastest way around. Nineteen hours of running alone sounds better than Tsume with a car of people. Lucky he forgot his knife. And that I decided to stick around instead of check the dining cars. Eating good food, then see a massacre does not look promising to my mental picture. Or my stomach.
"Tsume." I quickly called out before he thought of changing back. "Let's just get some food. Alright? Hige, you too....Hige?" Swore I saw him somewhere...."Hige?"
I turned back to Tsume, noticing that he's thumbing somewhere. Looking at that direction, I suddenly had a feeling of stupidty. For him. "Hige, what are doing?"
Over by the windows, collar-boy was hitting on a girl. I don't know which was worse- all those 'saved the world' lines....or that she actually likes them. I told myself by the time I find Myu again, I'll have a flat face from all the slapping. "Hige, do you want to get some food?"
His reaction didn't change. Of course, he's always oblivious to the world when a pretty human girl comes along. Food would be the last on his priority right now, and getting a date is is top. At least I should tell him where we would be.
"Okay, if you need us we'll be at the food cart okay?"
He kept talking to the girl, still ignoring everything else. "Okay, then." I shook my head at him, both pitying him for the future slap, or the fists of her boyfriend. Either way, that's three more hours of ranting about 'difficult women.' Would've been nine, but Blue's presence quickly shortened that.
"Leave the idiot. He's nothing but trouble this way. Let's just get some food." Tsume suggested.
I nodded, then began to walk towards the next car. I'm really starving from the journey so far. Two months is a long time, and we only eat every other week due to money. Actually, it's not the money itself since we can't carry much, but the guilt that came with being forced to recieve free food. Somehow, they know we were the same wolves with Chezza and surprise! We get 'graditude' stuff.
The worst thing is, it took just one month to even get out of the country since our city was a different land than the tribe's. Then another month to get to the other side of this country, half transportation and the other was running a lot. And the only thing that stopped us, was food.
Both of us walked to the next car as the automated doors closed behind us. In front was Toboe eating an apple pie, while Blue drank her usual ruent tea. Right now, my stomach needs nourishment.
"Oh, Kiba! Hey, you came to get some food right? They got steak and pork ribs here, you know." the little guy said while hopping off his stool. "you can just ask Mr. Ureuw here if you want to order."
I looked over the counter, where a middle-aged man bowed slightly. "Ah, Mr. Kiba. May I help you today?"
That name...."Uh, can I have a menu please?" I was taken back a little when he said that. I'm still not used to being called something like that by humans yet. It's just reminds me of the weight, being the 'saviour.'
"Yes, Mr. Kiba." He slightly bows at me, then left for those menus. I took this time to relax, sitting on one of the stools and burying my head within my arms. Too tired, my eyes felt droopy from all that had happened.
"So, where's Hige? Wasn't he with you?" Blue asked.
"Yeah, but he was-"
Suddenly, the car door opened revealing the same old Hige. Somehow, he looked a little more frustrated than before.
"Hey, Hige. What happened? Kiba said you were hitting on girls again." Toboe asked.
He shrugged. "Eh, it was nothing. It just wasn't meant to be, I guess."
However, Tsume wasn't satisfied with that answer. "Come on, something happened. I don't see any slap marks, and your nose is still in one piece. Did the unfamous hige finally just get mouthed off?"
I wanted to tell him off, but he was kinda right. No physical pain anywhere on his face. "Yeah...what did happen?"
He turned his back on us and mumbled something. "she was a lesbian."
"What?" He pretended to hold his ear to hear. I wanted to know, too. "Can you repeat that? I didn't hear that?"
"SHE WAS A LESBIAN!!!!"
Silence......
Then Blue spoke up. "Again? That's the third this month." she took another sip of her tea.
.................."HAHHAHAHAHAH! Hige hits on lesbians!! Hahahahahah!!" Toboe couldn't hold it any longer. His held his stomach from all the pain that came from laughing.
"Buahahhaah! I heard what you said, but I never thought you would say it out loud!! HAHAHAHAHHA!!"
"Cut it out! These humans are hard to figure out! Sometimes they're confused about which gender to love and- ARE YOU GUYS LISTENING TO ME?!"
No, and I don't care. A smile was trying very hard to come out, but I knew someone had to stop all this before it got out of hand. "Hey, guys come on. Give him a break. So Hige accidently flirted with a human that likes the same gender. Mistakes happen, right?"
They went quiet after that. Tsume had a serious face on him, his eyes looking as though he was considering what I just said. Then for some reason he walked to the car door, went to the midpoint where the next car door opened and just stood there. After some time...."Hey! I got a warning for ya! How many of you are lesbians, because I got a guy named Hige that you should watch out for!"
All hell broke loose. "HAAHHAHAHAHAH!!! At least no more mistakes here, Hige!" Toboe just rolled on the floor, his face all watery from the laughing tears.
I couldn't help but smile at his expression. He looked really hurt though, until a wicked smile was on him. "Yep, no mistakes little guy. But I know someone that made one mistake that can never be forgotten...."
For some unknown reason, Tsume just stopped laughing. That just gave more reason for him to continue. "I know a certain wolf that accidently had a polka move with a random-"
"You shut up!! How the heck am I supposed to know those women were rabbits?!"
More silence. I don't blame anyone for being quiet, because if I heard right....."So....you had sex with rabbits?"
"ARGGGGG!!!! I didn't know!!! And I didn't have sex with rabbits!!!" he cried out.
"You were close."
"I'll kill you Hige!!!!"
"Ahhhhh!" He went out the window and above the car, while Tsume followed suite. Already too exhausted from all the excitement, I once again rested my head within my arms dreaming away from this world.
"Hey, Kiba." I lifted my head slightly at the one that asked me. Surprisinly, it was Blue. "Can I ask you something personal?"
"Sure, what?"
She looked a little uneasy, sipping her tea for comfort. "What.....drives you to do these things?"
"Drive? What do you mean?"
"I mean....I heard from Hige that you did everything you could to get to paradise. Running away from the first Noble, getting caught by the scientists and escaping, and protecting Cheza like your life didn't mean anything. What gives you that drive to do it again?"
That question was something, alright. Tsume asked me the same thing when we first started our previous journey. The answer was the same....almost. "To find paradise. But this time....my paradise."
Another sip was taken. "So, this time it's all you. And we thought it was something big again."
"Is that why you guys came?"
"....No, it's because we're your friends. We support you, even thought we never really believed at the beginning that you were right before. This time, we travel together as a family."
Family. That word seemed so foreigen to me. The only thing that counted as one was the one I lost in a fire, and an old human who rescued me. Other than that....I've been alone. Then was back then until Freeze City, when I met Hige. The little kid came along with Tsume, and they came with me. They stuck by me no matter what happened. It was like I met my long-lost brothers that were hunting away during the fire.
But things didn't really feel right until Cheza came. As I saw her float down to us like an angel, there was a mysterious force that drew to me. Like a figure that drew to me that was missing from my life. Something that I wasn't able to experience fully.
A mother.....
"A family, huh?" I replied, hoping not to get too lost in my thoughts. "Well at this rate, I'm going to have one less brother."
Above us, we heard my proof. "AHHHHHHHH! I thought you didn't bring your knife!"
"This is a butter-knife. Wanna feel the difference?"
I got up from my stool. "Blue, tell the bartender to forgive me for leaving. I'll be going to bed now." I stuffed my hands into my pockets as I left for the bed cars. "Oh, one more thing: Tell Toboe to pick up Hige's remains."
Leaving Blue to the chaos, I thought of nothing more than to sleep a good rest. There was a long journey ahead of us when the train stops, and only two months to find Myu. I don't know if I'll make it, but this time my only motivation to find my paradise.....
Is her smile........
=====================================================================
Ahhhhh! That took way too long! (Even though it was shorter) If that was stupid, I blame me not seeing any anime during this writing period for motivation. Also to this date, the only anime I've seen entirely is the six episodes of Gatekeepers 21. Not even FLCL!!!!
More Myu/Kiba! Now!!!
