Baby Oh Baby
Part 5: Happy Town Horror
The town is having some kind of cerebration and there are colourful people singing, dancing and performing everywhere. The street is jam-packed and the wolves can hardly move through the crowd. "Are you sure we can find Emma's mother here?" Hige asks Kiba.
"No, but Emma dress like the people from this town, and she has the scent of this town too. I have no other clues to go on except here." Kiba says.
"Oh, what a pretty little girl! You look just like a doll." An old lady says and pats Emma's head. Emma is now a little girl with dark hair that tied up into two ponytails at the side of her head. She is wearing a dolly dress, and there are matching ribbons on her dress and hair.
"Say thank you to the nice lady, Emma." Toboe says.
"Thank you, nice lady." Emma says.
"No wonder you're such a pretty girl, you have such a pretty mother." The old lady says as she looks at Toboe. Toboe blinks. The old lady smiles to Kiba and says, "you're a very lucky man, to have such beautiful wife and daughter. Take good care of them."
The old lady walks away. Hige and Kiba laugh. Toboe rubs his nose and mutters, "I can't believe she thinks I'm Emma's mother..."
Emma sees a group of dancing people and runs toward them. She pulls Toboe's hands and starts dancing around Toboe. "Papa come dance!!!" Emma shouts.
"Go on, Kiba, your beautiful wife and daughter are waiting for you." Hige jokes before running toward the dancers. Kiba joins the others and starts dancing, too.
Tsume shakes his head, sighing at the other's silliness. He walks up to a counter and puts down some coins, "give me a beer, will ya?"
"Why did you bring Emma back here?" The vendor says in a low voice.
"What?" Tsume looks at him.
"Get her out of here and never come back." The vendor says.
At the dancing ground, the music changes to a slow, soft romantic melody. Hige picks up Emma and start waltzing with her. Emma giggles happily. "Papa dance with mommy." Emma says.
Toboe looks at Kiba. Kiba holds out his hand and says, "May I have this dance?" Toboe chuckles and takes Kiba's hand. The two of them dance to the romantic music.
"It feels so magical, dancing in your arms like this." Toboe says. The boy looks so adoring it makes Kiba's heart tingle. Kiba pulls Toboe close to try and kiss him. Toboe closes his eyes...
Kiba and Toboe's lips are about to meet when Tsume pulls Kiba away harshly. "We got to get out of here!" Tsume says.
"What about finding Emma's mother?" Hige asks.
"Emma's mother is...." Tsume looks at Emma and stops.
"Tsume, what's wrong?" Toboe asks.
Tsume pulls Kiba close and whispers, "Emma's mom is captured, she is probably dead."
Kiba looks at Tsume. The silver hair wolf says, "If we don't get out of here, Emma will be dead too!"
"Let's get out of here and then we'll talk." Kiba says. He looks around and shouts, "damn! Where is Toboe and Emma?"
Toboe and Emma disappear in the crowd.
