Reign of Stars/Maybe I'm Selfish

Cheza pulled on the sleeve of Kiba's coat harder and harder, urging him forward. She could feel Hige's presence, and it was gaining. The Flower Maiden looked behind her, crimson eyes wide. Kiba trudged along, he, too, could feel Hige. The white wolf felt his heart drop into his stomach. Now or never. He swallowed and yanked his wrist away from Cheza's hand.

"Cheza." He said, "That's it. I should have done this a long time ago. I..." This felt strange, because he thought Cheza was his one and only and...he had been wrong. "I don't love you anymore."

The Flower Maiden grasped at her heart. Those words felt like someone had buried a knife in her chest. No. No, it couldn't end like this....She wouldn't let it! Cheza snapped.

"BASTARD!" she screamed, "You're going to choose Hige over this one?! How could you?" She screamed, that high-pitched noise. Kiba yelled, falling to his knees, hands pressed against his ears. Cheza held her hands above her head, and the trees around her shuddered. One tree close to Kiba shrieked and buried a branch deep into his right flank. The bark shattered inside his leg, cutting him inside. A pool of crimson appeared on the ground. Kiba closed his eyes in agony. Suddenly, the tree screamed again and withdrew. But why?

Kiba opened his beautiful blue eyes to see Hige biting the branch, stained with the white wolf's blood.

"Hige!" Kiba cried out.

The tan wolf smiled at him, blushing. "Well, that's the first time I heard you scream my name..."

Cheza tackling him cut off Hige's temporary joy. She bit at his neck, and to Hige's surprise, it hurt like hell. He rolled on the ground, bucked, and jumped but Cheza would not come off. Cheza bit even harder, breaking an artery. Hige's blood spewed into her mouth and onto the ground, mixing with Kiba's. Hige howled in pain.

Kiba, finally, telling himself this was it, he pulled the Flower Maiden off Hige. She landed on the earth with a thud, but recovered quickly. She stood there, with blood dripping out of the sides of her mouth, a blank stare on her face.

"Why? Why, Kiba?" Tears rolled down the sides of her once pure face. "How...?"

"Because you tried to separate me and my one and only." The white wolf glanced at Hige and smiled.

Cheza still stood there, but a small smile appeared on her face and it grew and grew. "Idiot."

The Flower Maiden rushed the pair of wolves, snarling. But Tsume appeared out of nowhere and head butted her against a tree. Her head made a sickening crack.

"That's for Toboe." He snarled.

Toboe came also, dragging himself forward with his front paws. Phantasm loped behind him, smiling widely.

Kiba looked at him, and smiled. "Ass hurt?"

The small wolf blushed. "Mmm-hmm."

Tsume looked back at him. "Told you. You won't be able to walk for a week."

Cheza looked up, to see Hige above her. He pressed her neck down, growling. Man, he had waited for this moment for so long. Having Cheza at his mercy. It felt so good...

"Give me one good reason why I should let you live. You put me through hell."

The Flower Maiden smiled sweetly and spat blood in the tan wolf's face. That was all Hige needed. A few minutes later, the pack walked on, leaving the Flower Maiden dead against the tree, with her throat ripped out.

The pack and Phantasm settled down for the night. Tsume sat with Toboe and they were getting into the "mood". Phantasm slept by himself, a smile on his light. Hige and Kiba took a walk. They wanted to be alone for a while. Kiba let out a ragged sigh as he sat against a tree. Hige sat on his lap, smiling widely. Finally he had Kiba all to himself!

Kiba caressed the side of Hige's face. "Hige...I'm so sorry. Cheza hypnotized me. I..."

The tan wolf silenced him with a kiss. The last thing he wanted to talk about was Cheza. It was just the two of them. A soft moan escaped Kiba as he rewarded Hige by parting his own lips and sliding his tongue into Hige's mouth. They kissed deeply, hands caressing each other, softly, apprehensively. Hige broke the kiss, gasping. The white wolf pushed him onto the cool grass. Hige felt the softness of the grass on his skin as Kiba undressed him. He blushed at the sight of Kiba staring lovingly at his naked body. Hige undressed the white wolf, in silent appreciation of Kiba's beautiful illusion. Kiba covered Hige's body in hot, needy kisses, from his collarbone, around his nipples, and tickling his navel with his tongue.

Hige moaned at the friction Kiba's mouth caused. As Kiba stopped his assault on Hige's body, his hand found its way to the tan wolf's erect member. The white wolf teased Hige to no end. He ran a finger across the head; he licked the base, all of which made Hige scream out. He screamed even louder as Kiba slipped two fingers into him. It hurt at first, but the pain gave way to a delicious wave of pleasure, as Kiba hit Hige's sweet spot again and again. Hige surrendered to Kiba's touch almost instantly. He came as soon as Kiba put his mouth on his penis, his essence spewing into Kiba's hot, wet mouth. Kiba happily devoured all Hige had to give.

The white wolf looked up at him, some of Hige's seed still on the side of his face. "Well? Do you want me to...?"

Hige nodded, his head spinning. "Take me..."

Kiba picked Hige's right leg, putting on his right shoulder. He pressed his member against Hige's entrance. "I'll make it feel good, I promise..." Hige never had any doubts, as Kiba thrust himself inside.

More pain. It hurt like hell, but at the same time it felt so, so good. The white wolf moved against Hige, whispering his name with every thrust. Hige whimpered a little, a blush appearing on his cheeks. Their bodies moved simultaneously against one another. Their bodies occupied the same place in the universe. Kiba thrust harder and harder until he came inside Hige. Claiming him as his own. His lover.

He withdrew and collapsed besides Hige, panting in time with him. Their bodies were slick with sweat but their sexual desires had been satiated. Hige smiled, "I've waited so long for that..."

Kiba smiled and kissed him again. "So have I. Let's go again." Their lips came together once more.

It was dawn and the pack was ready to move on. They weren't sure where they were going without the Flower Maiden but it didn't really matter. Hige looked at Phantasm, who was sitting on a patch of moss.

"Hey, do you want to come with us? I mean, you did help me and all. You really shouldn't go back to your owner. " Hige glanced at his fellow wolves. "He can come right? I mean, Cheza's dead..."

Kiba nodded curtly and ran off, Tsume and Toboe hot on his heels. Hige followed them, but glanced back at Phantasm, motioning him to come on. Then he sped through the underbrush.

Phantasm smiled and sighed, "How the hell are we supposed to repopulate with those kind of wolves around?" But he followed them nonetheless.
