So here's the next chapter, I know its been awhile since I updated but here's chapter 3...


The wolf awoke to the sounds of machinery and busy people walking by. A man and a woman stood just outside the cage looking down at him.

"Achoo! I don't know Cher, what do you think?"

The blond looked at her ex-husband and sighed. "Seriously Hubb, how long are you going to let that drunk, Quent lead you on like this? Wolves have been gone from this earth for over two hundred years now."

"But what about that other dog? The white one, Quent seemed to think it was a wolf and after that raid, it just disappeared! And what about those hairs? They didn't match any of the tests and there should have been just one set of hairs, the white ones, but we found white, brown, and grey! They're out there Cher," He stopped and noticed that the blond had lost all interest in what he was saying and was examining Toboe's paws. "Cher?"

"Hubb, just stop, I'm beginning to think that you're just looking for excuses to see me. Listen, it didn't work out before and its not going to work out now. What with you going on about wolves and taking advice from a drunk man and me with my work on CHEZA, it just won't work out."

"I know, but I can't help but believe some of his story, think about it Cher, they could be hiding among us and we wouldn't even know!"

At that moment, two boys walked into the room, one of the boys had dark brown hair and the other had sandy colored hair. Cher turned around and gave them a surprising glare. "What do you think you're doing in here?"

Toboe's eyes got large as he glanced at the two boys, how had they gotten in here? Who were they and what were they doing?

"Huh? Oh sorry ma'am, uh," He looked at Toboe and then at the other boy, unsure about what to say and then blurted out, "The bathroom! Yes, we're looking for the bathroom! We're new on the cleaning crew..."

Cher brushed her hair out of her eyes and replied, "Down the hall and to the left."

The sandy-haired boy took one last look at Toboe and followed the other boy out the door.

"The people they hire to clean these days..." Cher sighed.

Toboe couldn't stop thinking of what he had just seen. He didn't recognize either of them and had never met another wolf before. He continued to think as the two humans kept talking. They didn't seem to care that he was laying there in pain. He waited a while longer and finally the humans left. He tried to stand up but his leg still hurt, but only a bit. By nightfall he would be back to normal. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, only to be awoken by the sound of the room's door slowly opening. A stream of light filled the room and two figures walked in.

"Why did we have to come back? We're just going to get caught again!" The boy complained.

The other boy looked at him and with an annoyed tone snapped, "If you don't stop complaining, we will get caught."

"But I'm hungry!"

"Hige, this isn't the time to be thinking about food, I sense something bad is going to happen and we have to get out of here as soon as possible."

"Hey what are you two doing?" Toboe spoke up. He could see the outlines of the two wolves standing in the doorway.

Kiba walked towards the cage and looked at Toboe. "Can you get out?"

Toboe nodded, of course he could get out, what kind of stupid question was that? He began to gnaw at the bars and soon gave up, now his teeth hurt.

"Here, we'll get you out..." Hige pulled a gold key from behind his ear and unlocked the cage.

Toboe stepped out of the cage and stretched out for the first time in a while. "Where to now?"

"To Paradise." Was Kiba's answer.

"Huh?"

"Towards the scent of the Lunar Flowers, they're here, in this building."

Both Hige and Toboe stood there with confused looks on their faces. "I don't smell anything..." Hige replied, "And my nose is pretty good."

Suddenly there was a loud crash and a ear-piercing scream that made the wolves cringe. The ran for the door and down the twist of hallways to the exit. Once outside, they noticed the sky full of lights. Up above a man dressed in black, carrying what looked like a person, walked onto the ship and disappeared. Then, in a moment, it was gone.


Ok so I know this was short, but it takes place roughly during episode 3, so it makes sense that Kiba and Hige were in the lab...and I also know that it sounds roughly like the ending of episode three as well with the whole Darcia (sp?) thing, but this chapter is basically just breaking Toboe out...anyways, REVIEW!!!
