Fallen Petals 2: Search of Ebony Wolf
(The Sequel)
Chapter 1- Why?
A little boy looked out the window of a train to see 5 wolves running in the grass along side it. There was a light brown one, a gray one, a silver one, a small reddish one and a white one, leading the others. The boy pressed his face against the window, watching them ran and barking.
"Tommy, stop that this instant!"
"Look mommy, doggies!" the boy pointed out the window.
The mother looked at outside, seeing the wolves gracefully sprinting through the field.
"Can I have one mommy? Can I?"
"No sweety, those are wolves not doggies."
"Are wolves bad mommy?"
The mother remember back when she had two sons instead of one.
"Yes dear. All wolves are bad and I don't want you going near them. Do you understand me?"
The boy sighed. "Yes mommy."
Kiba raced through the grass determined to find...shelter not to sleep in but to hide him and the others from the men with guns standing on top of the moving train.
"So tell me again why we have to shoot these things?"
"Cause the boss wants them dead, idiot! Get ready." said one of the men loading his gun and aimed at the gray wolf.
The bullets rained from the sky as the wolves ran into a near by thick forest. They hid in the bushes until the train was gone. When the bullets stopped falling Hige came out to check.
"They're gone."
"Oh thank goodness." Toboe said breathing heavily.
"Well I guess we can continue now." Hige scratched his head.
"Who were those guys? I don't remember seeing them before." Shives was pulling grass out of her hair.
"I don't know." Tsume looked up towards the sky but it was covered by the trees. "But they did have a familiar scent."
"Yea.I noticed that too. I mean they were humans but there was something else mixed with it."
The wolves pondered about the scent but Kiba are ready knew who's it was.Dire's.
"Well let's get going." Kiba continued deeper into the forest.
It had been 11 months since Kint's abduction.Kiba wasn't forgotten about her but he isn't as worried about her as he thought he would be. The rest of the gang felt the same way. They never really talked about saving her after losing all hope.Kiba suddenly fell to the ground.
"Oh Kiba are you alright?" Shives helped him up.
"Yea." He continued his walking.
He hasn't been able to sleep do to his constant dreams about Kint not to mention his unaided search that lasted 216 hours straight.
After a few hours of walking, the wolves rested in a cave just below a near by village. It suddenly began to rain.Shives started shivering like crazy.
"I hate the rain." She hugged herself to keep warm until Tsume wrapped his arms around her.
Everyone was in the cave but Kiba, who was lying on the ground letting the rain hit his face.
"Poor Kiba." said Shives cuddling closer to Tsume.
"Wonder what's wrong with him." Hige was also watching Kiba.
"Do you think he's still thinking about Kint?" Toboe played with a small rock.
"Most likely. Ever since she was kidnapped he has been rather quiet."
"Well he needs to get himself together. I'm tired of seeing him like this." Tsume closed his eyes and started to dose off.
"You guys are so wrong."
The boys looked at Shives questionably.
"The reason Kiba's acting like this is because he is deeply in love with Kint.Yea, she may refuse him at times but that doesn't stop him from loving her.Kiba needs her. It's like she's the other half of him."
"Hm.That's still not an excuse for mopping around." Tsume held Shives tighter.
"Tsume, how would you feel if I was kidnapped?"
Tsume was silent. "Anyway I think we should do something nice for Kiba.What do ya think boys?"
Hige and Toboe nodded in approval.
The 4 wolves soon fell asleep in the damp cave while Kiba was still looking up at the gray sky.
'Kint? Why are you always taken away from me? You were right. You have every right to refuse me.'
Kiba flashbacked to the club Kint was singing at and when he first met her. He fell asleep having made up his mind. He was going after her and this time; he wouldn't give up as easily.
(I will search for you until the day I perish.)
