Chapter 3 –Not my brother

Kint pushed Dire away from her. He smiled evilly shaking his head.

"Kint it's so obvious. I don't even look like you.

"But you are my brother." Kint closed her eyes and shook her head furiously. "You are, you are!"

Dire rolled his eyes and slammed her back into the wall.

"No I'm not my dear." He petted her head softly.

"Dire, why didn't you tell me before?"

"I was having too much fun." He smiled.

"Dire, don't kill him, please."Her voice lowered to a whisper.

"Kill who?"

"Kiba! Don't kill him!"

"If he survives Kiyoshi, I won't kill him. I can promise you that much."

He leaned forward again to kiss her but Kint turned his head.

"I love you Kint.You know that. Forget Kiba..."Dire looked out the window, seeing Kiba motionless in the lake. "He is nothing but a dream now."

Kint joined Dire to see, what he was looking at.

Oh god, Kiba

Dire noticed her eyes full of sorrow and he kissed her forehead.

"Dinner is ready, my Lord." said a female voice.

Kint just stared out the window, tears filling her eyes.

"Kiba, you just can't be gone. Not now, not ever." She whispered as she watched red fluid stain Kiba's pure white coat. "Please don't leave me."

"Kint dear?"

"Huh? Oh right dinner." The saddened Kint followed her fake brother to the dining room area of the ship.


"What's the matter, Kiba? I thought you were a lot stronger than this."Kiyoshi spun his knife on his index finger, laughing.

Kiba struggled getting up and growled at his enemy.

"Temper temper. Keep this up and you'll never see your wench again."

Kiba gasped slightly. Visions of Kint's face poured into his mind. His eyes softened seeing her radiant face as she laughed, sang, smiled, and...cried. Crying was not what Kiba wanted to see again. It caused him too much pain.

"Kint...Kiyoshi?" He yelled.

"Yesss Kiba?" For once Kiyoshi seemed a little too happy.

"Kint's she still alive?"

"Hm Kint." Kiyoshi tapped his chin, pretending to be in deep thought. "Kint...Kint...Never heard of her. Who is she?"

"Shut up! You know exactly who she is!"Kiba wanted to rip his head off but he couldn't move. He was too weak.

"Maybe I know her. But that doesn't mean I'll say she's alive."

"What?"

"Maybe she is, maybe she's not. But it doesn't matter. You won't be again to see her." He raised his knife to the sky and a red vortex of air and fog swirled around it.

Kiba held his ground, bracing himself. He knew this would kill him if he didn't do anything. But what? He looked around him and spotted a marsh 3 meters away with thick tall grass.

"Time to die!" Kiyoshi threw his knife towards Kiba.

The knife hit the earth causing it to split. The wind rushed through the lake with birds flying in all directions.Kiyoshi watched in amazement as a thick red liquid trailed slowly down the knife. When the dust cleared, Kiyoshi's laughter soon turned to gasps seeing the impossible. The knife did not pierce white but gray fur.

"Tsume."Kiba's voice was barely a whisper.

Tsume stood in front of Kiba as blood ran down his left front leg.

"W-what! Not you agan! Why won't you wolves die!"

Kiyoshi raised his hand to the sky and a black electrical staff appeared.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!"

Kiyoshi yelped in pain when a sharp pain slid down his back.

Tsume and Kiba looked at the object that stood behind the wounded Kiyoshi.It was Hige.

"Hige, What are you doing here? Tsume has a mixture of anger and surprise in his voice.

"I thought you needed my help."Hige ran over to the two other wolves. "Looks like I was right."

"Hige.Where's Toboe and Shi"

"I already took care of it. They're hiding behind the railroad tracks."Hige interrupted.

"Stupid, lousy, filthy wolves. I hate you all!"Kiyoshi sway side to side as he stood up.

Hige and Tsume were all ready prepared. They slowly walked around Kiyoshi in a circle growling menisingly.Tsume lept forward, grabbing hold of Kiyoshi's neck, bringing to the ground.Tsume tugged and scratched at the demon wolf's flesh. Blood splashed onto the ground. When Kiyoshi dropped his staff Hige automatically tore it apart all through randomly getting shocked.

Kiba watched the 3 fight. He was internally grateful for having fiends like them. He jumped feeling a hand on his back. It turned out to be Shives' when he looked behind him.

"Hey Kiba."Shives smiled. She looked at his horrible wounds.

"Oh Kiba"

"It's alright."

"Can you walk?"Toboe appeared on the other side of him.

"Yes"Kiba winced a few times before standing up completely.

Toboe and Shives still help him up anyway.

"Master! I'm sorry master! These wolves were a lot stranger than I thought. Forgive me, please!"

Kiyoshi averted his eyes to Kiba, who had a sharpen put of the staff in his hand.

"Keep your pleading to yourself." With that, Kiba stabbed the demon wolf start through his heart.

Hige, Kiba, and Tsume stared at the demon wolf.

"Bastard." whispered Kiba in pure hate.

"Tsume!"

Tsume turned his attention to a red-haired girl running happily towards him followed by Toboe.

She lept into his arms causing him to take a few steps back. She rubbed her cheek against his making him blush slightly.

"I missed you, so much."

"Aw, How cute?"Hige chuckled.

Tsume lightly tapped her shoulder. "Uh.Shives I..."

"KISS HER TSUME!YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!"Hige laughed even harder.

Tsume accidentally chopped her on the ground and ran after Hige.

"Hige, you better shut up!"

Everyone laughed.Kiba's laughter turned into hisses due to the pain from his large wounds.

"Kiba, you're hurt."Toboe lightly touched the white wolf's side.

"I'm fine." He said firmly.

Tsume finally caught up to Hige and pounced on him sending them both splashing into the lake.Tsume smirked in victory and tried to shove a slimy fish into Hige's mouth.

"Here you're hungry Hige? Eat then!"

"N-no! Shives.Toboe help me!"

Shives and Toboe ran to Hige's rescue but failed. They all played around in the pond while Kiba sat on the ground deep in thought.

He thought back to first meeting her and when he first felt her next to his body. He loved that feeling. He smiled to himself. He tugged at his jacket. It still had her scent on it; faintly.He lay on the ground and gazed at the red and orange sky.

The heavens were beautiful this afternoon. The clouds were a darker red and stroked towards the sun that was setting in the east. It was perfect.

"Kint would have loved this, huh?" said a voice.

Hige sat next to Kiba.

"Yeah."

"Kiba? I have something to confess."

"Hm?" Kiba continued to look at the sunset.

"I am not going to stall, so I'll just come out and say it."

"Say what?"

"I kissed Kint...more than once."

Kiba eyes lit and he quickly pulled himself. He grabbed Hige's collar, violently.

"You what?"

Hige couldn't decide whether to smile or remain terrified.

"Explain this to me Hige, NOW!"

Hige swallowed hard.
