Chapter 7- Flashbacks and Reality
Kint sat on the cold dungeon floor in emotional pain. She stared off into space, her past with Kiba and the others flickered through her mind like lighting. Even the most secret of moments came chiming in.
Kiba was chasing Kint in a meadow filled with purple and white flowers. They were so happy together, laughing, playing, teasing.Kiba playfully tackled her and they both went tumbling down the hill. When they hit the bottom they both were still laughing.Kiba was on top of her. His hands on both sides of her head. He stopped laughing and took the time to embrace her. He laid his head on her chest, smiling with content. The wind rustled through his hair, tossing it over his eyes which was perfect timing considering the fact he was starting to cry a bit.
Kint ran her fingers through his hair, down his back and up again. "Kiba?" she asked looking up at the clouds.
"Yes?" Kiba was rubbing his cheek up and down her arm.
"When we reach paradise...what do you hope for?"
Kiba knew the answer to that question, but he wasn't certain Kint would agree. He smiled and said, "I hope you and I will still be together."
Kint sighed. "Yeah, me too." She began to sing as she stared off into space and played with Kiba's hair.
I think I'm drowning
asphyxiated
I wanna break the spell
that you've created
you're something beautiful
a contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction
you will be
the death of me
yeah, you will be
the death of me
bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
our time is running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
we can't stop it screaming out
Kiba smiled and sang along softly with her.
I wanted freedom
but I'm restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted
now that you know I'm trapped
sense of elation
you'll never dream of breaking this fixation
you will squeeze the life out of me
bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
our time is running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
we can't stop it screaming out
how did it come to this
you will suck the life out of me
bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
our time is running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
we can't stop it screaming out
how did it come to this
Their voices echoed through the hills.Hige and the others were in the forest when they heard howling. "That's Kiba and Kint...why are they howling?"
"Maybe they like howling together." Toboe said lying on his stomach, resting his head on his hands.
"Well I want to play with her too." Hige said pouting.Tsume smiled to himself and began to walk casually towards the sound.
"Tsume? Where are you going?" Toboe asked.
Tsume didn't turn around but said, "How do you expect us to get to paradise?"
The two young boys blinked and looked at each other before deciding to follow the shadowy wolf.
Kint slowly lifted herself up while Kiba helped her. They were silent. Staring into each others eyes, one wanting the other, one needing the other. The passionate question of Kiba kept popping back into his brain. It caused so much fanatical confusion he just blurted it out.
"I want to have puppies with you." He bit his tongue after saying that.
Kint gave him a bewildered look. "W-what?" she lied. She knew what he said, but it sounded too good to be true.
"I want to have...puppies with you. When we get to paradise of course." He quickly added.
He bit his tongue again. He too was lying. I cared more about the process of getting the puppies rather than having them. He blushed as the visions flowed through his mind.Kint, on the other hand, thought about having Kiba's puppies. They would have all pure with fur with little black paws and one of them would look like a Dalmatian. She smiled at him.
"I think that's a wonderful idea, Kiba."
She caught him off guard. He was too busy day-dreaming. "Huh?"
"I said it was a wonderful idea. I would be glad to have your puppies. But first..." she gave him a sly look before pushing him into the flowers. She stood over him, a foot on each side of his waist. She bent down and said. "You have to woo (flirting or winning a girl over) me first."
Kint then went off running with Kiba in quick pursuit. It wasn't long before he tackled her to the ground and pinned her arms. The laughed and panted, as the wind softly blew the purple flowers around them.Kint stared up at the blue eyed boy. Her lover, her protector, her paradise.Kiba playfully started nipping her ears making her laugh.
"Why are you laughing? I'm trying my best to "woo" you." He said making his fingers look like quotation marks.
"Maybe you're not good enough." The black wolf stood up and walked over to a near by stream. She happily drank the crystal water that tasted sort of sweet.
"I am good enough for you." Kiba said to himself calmly.
He watched her drink. Even if he had a backside view. Come to think of it? He liked that backside view. He liked it a lot! He watched her tail leisurely sway in the air. He liked that tail too. He liked everything she had. Then it hit him; he did know how to woo her.
Tsume and the others finally could smell Kint and Kiba's scent and it was strong too.
"Hey! You smell that?" asked Tsume.
"Sure do!" said Hige excitedly and he ran as fast as he could to meet up with his favorite she-wolf. "Kint? Guess...what?" Hige's voice went from energized to sadness and jealousy.
When Tsume and Toboe caught up, Tsume pulled them behind a bush.Hige started to quietly whimper.
"I-I don't know what to say."
Tsume growled. "Why would he do something like that right now?"
Toboe was speechless as he watched the pure white wolf mount the ebony one. "W-what is Kiba doing to her?"
"Toboe! Get away from there!" yelled Hige.He called out so loudly that the others heard him.
Kint and Kiba pulled away from each other panting. "Did...you think...they heard us?" asked Kiba lying next to his mate.
"I don't know.Kiba? Why did you-...What made you-..."
"Because I wanted to prove myself to you. I noticed how interested you are in Hige so..." He trailed off.
"Interested with Hige!" Kint jumped up in surprise. "You actually thought I liked that guy!"
"Well I-"
"Kiba, you're my mate! I would never have anyone else take your place."
Hearing this, Kiba pulled her down on top of him and they kissed.
Kint smiled thinking about that kiss that happened so long ago. She continued her walk through the dark hallway until she heard a familiar howl, then she started running. When she reached the room where the howl came from, Kint gasped. The sight of the dictator, and her former lover on the ground in a puddle of blood, made her heart cring.Dire's laugh caught her attention.
"Oh hello my love, do you like I did with the fools?" He continued to laugh hysterically.
Dire was so caught up with laughing, he didn't see Kint rush up and slap him. He flew into the marble-colored wall, completely dazed. She directed her attention to Kiba and Tsume. She ran over to them and tried to wake Kiba up first, he returned with a slap across the face. When he realized it was her and not Dire, he mumbled out a sorry.Kint pretended it didn't hurt and asked if Tsume was okay.
"We're fine." said Tsume rubbing the back of his neck. "Where's Dire?" asked Kiba crawling away from Kint.
"He's in the wall." Kint said simply.
Tsume smirked. "So you were trying to protect us, huh?"
Kint remanded quiet. "So where are Hige, Toboe and Shives?"
"There on the other side of the ship, trying to find a way out."
Kint didn't like the sound of that.Somehow; she knew that that wasn't going to end well.
(Shives...friend or foe?)
