Chapter 9-Ebony love

"Hige...Hige?"Kint shook the lifeless wolf.

Hige woke up blinking his eyes.

"Hey babe." He said weakly trying to crack a smile.

"What happened to you?" She licked the blood off his face.

"I'm okay woman, Geez."

"Do you know where Toboe and Shives are?"

Hige coughed a little. "Shives slashed me with a knife and took off with Toboe.She said something about not being second best."

"Second best." Kint whispered. She sat next to Hige, thoughts rushing through her brain.

"Second Best!" The answer finally came to her. "Hige that's it! She wants to be better than me! She's jealous because you guys pay more attention to me! And get this, those robots, Dire, and she have one thing in common; they all came in after my so called death. Don't you see, they're all working together to separate Kiba and I. Dire was jealous of Kiba so he got Shives to do the dirty work."

"That's right. And he used those weird wolves to keep us from interfering."Hige added.

"That's also how she was able to deprogram those robots. It's simple, Shives works for Dire!"

Hige started to look dumbfounded. "So Shives is really a bad person?"

"Exactly.Besides, the girl cut you. You can't just overlook that. We need to find them. I have a feeling Toboe is in huge trouble."

She stood up and sniffed the air, then turned to Hige. "Can you walk?"

"Sure." Hige smiled. Even if Kint was out of his reach, he was still glad she was with him.

The two wolves raced through the chamber looking for another way out that wasn't already occupied by Dire's machines.


Tsume breathed heavily as dark red blood flowed down his shoulder and arm.Kiba stood next to him trying to catch his breath as well. They looked brutally beaten.Dire, on the other hand, looked like he just came out of a spa. Perfectly relaxed and calm, even with a few scratches.

"Why won't he just die?" Tsume was furious.

Kiba prepared for another attack, but was stopped by the metallic instruments that protected Dire. They circled the two wolves raising their weapons.Swords, laser guns, rifiles, spikes, and chainsaws.

"Tsume? Do you think you can handle the robots by yourself?" He watched the gray wolf out of the corner of his eye as 50 robots, to be exact, came marching towards them.Tsume smiled with pure confidence.

"Sure, go on and take care of Dire."

Dire started making his insane laugh yet again.Kiba and Tsume hated that laugh.Kiba especially. He glared at the man who actually laid hands on his Kint.Kint? No he didn't care. He wasn't his problem anymore. She hurt him. She broke his heart. He was starting to have flashbacks once again of seeing Kint in tears who was he kinding, it wasn't her fault. That was it! He was tired of fighting with himself. It was final; he was going to protect her no matter what had happened before.

Dire continued his laugh of insanity but it was soon put to a silence when Kiba produced a mind-blowing attack striking Dire across the chest. He made a bloodcurdling scream as continued to throw and swing blindly at the snow white wolf.Kiba dodged every blow and was finally able to pin him on the ground.

"How are you doing Tsume?"He yelled behind him, not taking his eyes off of Dire.

Tsume was now down to 3 robots. Part of metallic flesh and black oil lay scattered around him.

"I'm fine." He smirked. The fight was effortless.

"Good." He nodded. "And as for you, say you surrender."

Dire frowned back at the wolf. "Never.Kint is mine and mine alone." He tried to throw Kiba off but the wolf held his ground.

Kiba growled and bit Dire's arm, sinking his teeth slowly into his flesh. He let out a scream filled with misery.

"I won't give her up! I won't!"

Tsume, at this time, was completed with his mission. So he casually walked over to the two wolves and kneeled next to them.

"Either you give her up, or you're going to be looking for a new arm." He rested his elbow on Kiba's shoulder.

"No!"

"She doesn't belong to you!" Kiba roared and both his and Dire's voice boomed through the ship as the pure white wolf tore his enemies arm entirely off. He then let Tsume pick him up and throw him across the room, hitting the wall with a thud.

"I want to find Kint." Said Kiba, watching Dire shuddered in pain.

"So now you want to see her?" asked Tsume simply, also watching Dire.

The two wolves followed the faint scent of Kint down the darken hallway. They fought their way against the few robots that dared to put up a fight.

Dire lay against the wall, holding his armless shoulder. There on the floor, was a picture of Kint in a long and elegant white dress. She was happy and covered in red petals. The dress was a little tight around her and showed off her womanly curves perfectly. Her caramel skin seemed to glow as she looked seductively at the camera.

"I couldn't have you. You are far to perfect." He spoke to the picture. "But I can't have you, that mangy wolf surly can't."

He crawled over to the control room and pulled himself into the command chair. He typed into the computer the words: Emergency Engine Failure. He looked back at the picture he still held in his left hand and shield a small tear before his vision went black and his collapsed on the keyboard.

(For you,I wouldn't let the angels take me)
