NOTE: To Wolven Wishes: Im confused about the ages now, so Im just going with whatever... and I take notes when I watch the anime, but I dont take every, single, detail. I dont want it to be just like it... I mean, it WOULD probably be slightly diffrent if Kira was around... and if my spelling and grammer bothers you that much, I'll find someone who can help me with it.

To Demon Girl: Im guessing that's a yes.

Chapter 13: Vanishing Point

[The Pack]

"Raaaaahh!!" Hige yelled out loud as he stretched. Kira stepped away suprised. Everyone else stared at him.

"Im just so full of energy!! I feel like running around forever!!" a grin stretched across his face.

"I feel the same." grinned Tsume.

"Yeah, me too." said Toboe. "I wonder why..."

"It's a full moon tonight." Kiba said calmly. "Once a year, on a full moon, a flower is called by the moon and returns to Paradise..."

"Cool!!" Toboe squealed.

"But Im not certain if that'll be tonight." Kiba added.

"Something tells me it will be!" Toboe smiled. "Are you excited, Cheza?"

Cheza looked over her shoulder to the wolves.

"This one is." she replied. "This one cannot wait!"

Kiba nodded, smiling. Hige glanced over to the silent Kira.

"What about you?" he asked.

"Huh?" she looked up. She looked tired, VERY tired. She looked slightly pale, but that might have just been Hige.

"Hey, hey... are you okay?" he asked. "You look..."

"Like shit? Yes." she grumbled.

"What? Didnt you have enough sleep or something?"

"Nah... nothing like that."

She frowned and walked over to Cheza.

"Let's keep going..." she said as she walked along beside Cheza.

Kiba nodded and followed behind them. Everyone else, except Hige, speed walked to catch up. Hige stood there, an expressionless face, and staring at Kira.

"Hey, are you coming??" Tsume growled.

Hige shook his head.

"Huh?" he blinked. "Oh, right."

He ran ahead to the pack.

[That night, on the edge of a forest...]

"Look! There's the moon!" Toboe pointed out.

"Whoa! It's so big!" said Hige.

"I feel like howling my head off right now!!" Tsume yelled.

Cheza suddenly began to dance in the moonlight. Kiba ran over to her and began running around her while howling. The others joined quickly. Kira was the last to join because she didnt want to look unusual, just standing there watching them dazed. Just wanted to be normal...

After what felt like hours of running around and howling, they had stopped to stare at the moon. Cheza silently basked. When she opened her eyes, flowers suddenly bloomed around them. It grew into what looked like a path ahead of them.

"It's the path to Paradise!" Toboe said excitedly as he (wolf) bolted down the path. The others (wolf) followed quickly. Kiba ran beside Cheza.

Suddenly, a noise came from above. It sounded like an airship...

"Darcia!" Kiba growled.

The airship landed quickly infront of them and stopped them from going any further. The door slid open and Darcia stepped out. He glances around at the wolves, then smirked at them.

"Come, Cheza." he said. "Abandon these wolves, you belong to me, I created you after all."

Cheza frowned.

"She will NOT come with you!!" Kiba growled and charged at Darcia to attack, but he only ended up bouncing off of his sheild. He stood up, shook his head and growled.

Darcia smirked. A red light began to built on a lazer gun on his ship. It grew big quickly, then a streak of red light rushed towards Toboe...

Dirt flew everywhere. The blast knocked Toboe unconsious and sent him flying backwards 20 feet.

"Toboe!" Hige turned around and rushed to him. Kiba bared his teeth and charged towards Darcia again. Tsume did the same...

Another lazer blast was shot, sending Kiba back several feet. Another rushed towards Hige... but he felt a slight push...

He flew forward several feet and landed unharmed (pretty much). He looked up to see something white flying in the air...

Kira landed on her back, right next to Hige. She had pushed him out of the way from the blast. She rolled over and stood up, blood trickling down from the top of her head, staining her bright fur.

"Why..." Hige murmured.

"This isnt time for helping an unconsious kid." she growled, blood dripping down from her jaws. "We cant let him take Cheza."

She dashed towards Darcia, leaving Hige standing there. He glanced at Toboe, then at Darcia. He turned around and followed her.

Kiba didnt make it to Darcia. He was blasted back several feet by another blast from the lazer cannon. Same happened to Tsume, but they both slowly got up and continued to work their way to him.

Kira knew she couldnt really do anything now but to take on the hits for the others. She ran to catch up to Kiba and Tsume. A blast hit Hige, sending him flying back to almost where Toboe was. Another came towards Tsume. He didnt have time to move. He closed his eyes, but when he realized nothing hit him, he stopped and opened his eyes.

Tiny bits of white fur flew past him. He turned his head from side to side, looking for his love...

She was still standing, or working on it. One eye closed, an ear bent forward, and a busted leg. She wouldnt give up now, not while she was still standing...

Cheza watched in horror. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Burn in hell, Darcia!" Kiba growled. He charged after him, but bounced off his shield again. When he landed, another lazer blast sent him flying back. Kira slowly walked toward Darcia, but only ended up being blasted again.

Kiba staggered up. Tsume ran over to Kira, but she growled him away. He didnt see the blast coming towards him and her.

Kiba slowly walked towards Darcia. He wouldnt give up either. Never. He was blasted again, and again, and again... still he refused to fall. Never... never...

"That is enough." said Cheza. She walked to Kiba and hugged him lightly.

"No..." he whispered. "...you cant... dont go, please... no..."

"This one must go. This one is sorry." she whispered.

"...please..." Kiba breathed. "...we're wolves, we're not afraid to die... please dont go..."

She set him down and gently pet his fur. Then she moved onto Kira, then Tsume, then Hige, and Toboe. With that finished, she walked to Darcia and his ship. He chuckled and politely took her hand and let her inside.

Kiba watched the ship hover over them and leave in a second. He dropped his head and fell asleep...

End of Chapter 13.

NOTE: My mom watched this episode, and she said she cried at the ending. I kept telling her the wolves were still alive, but she kepy saying they were dead. She thought it was so sad that they were risking their lives to save her... or something... whatever.
