.Authoress' Note: Don't worry, Wisecracks, I'm the last person to create a Mary Sue of a boyfriend or girl for an anime/manga character. :X Oh, everybody saw Wolf's Rain on Saturday, right?! I am now Pro KibaXMiyu! (But I like KibaXHige more. XD)
Reign of Stars/ Suspicions and Lone Wolves.
{Cheza's POV}
Kiba. I only want what's best for you, and Hige is definitely not the one for you. You felt the same way I did when we first met. I Did Hige give you that feeling? I can see the uneasy glances you give me. I see those empty smiles. You're torn. You must be fighting with yourself, not wanting to choose this one over Hige over the other. This one is only doing this for your own good. Kiba...you're better off with this one. Our pack continued on. This one told the trees to keep covering up our tracks with moss. They complied rather quickly, faster than the tress a few miles back. Kiba had been depressed ever since we had left town. His blue eyes were glazed over from insomnia. He had stayed up the past few days, keeping watch for signs of Hige. Toboe had also been giving this one wary looks. I think he knows of this one's plans. He suspects. This one is going have to get rid of him then. And Tsume, too. That way, this one will be alone with Kiba. Forever and ever.(:X) When they were all asleep, Kiba also, he had passed out from exhaustion, this one asked a peculiarly large trees to take Toboe up into his branches. It groaned and grumbled but cooperated. Tsume, will wake up and worried about Toboe, will stay behind and look for him. Perfect.
{Third Person View}
Hige trudged up the hill, panting fitfully. Phantasm loped besides him, nose planted to the ground. They had been traveling for a while now. They didn't have a scent to go on so basically, they were lost. Hige had to be egged on by Phantasm's motivational speeches. That was the only thing keeping him on his feet. Hige felt so tired. So world-weary. Kiba was so far away. He collapsed onto some dead moss and cried. His sleeves clung to his arms with the moisture of the tears.
'Kiba...' he thought 'I'm sorry...I can't do it anymore.'
Phantasm sniffed the ground again. He had to do something. Hige was on the verge of an emotional breakdown. "Hey Hige!" he perked up. "I can smell something. Sniff this."
Hige half-heartedly smelled the brown moss. Huh? That was Kiba's scent! Strength renewed by the thought of actually getting somewhere, he stood up and followed the scent. They were close.
END/Suspicions and Lone Wolves
A/N: Sorry, short chapter. But I've been sort of uninspired lately. It'll be better next time! Promise!
