Hello again! Thank you, KatDrama, for being my solitary and much loved reviewer!!! I'm so glad you liked it!!! i thought it would get more reviews... ah well, maybe when it picks up a bit.
Disclaimer: Much as i would like to, I do not own Wolf's Rain. Kana is mine though, touch her and incur the wrath of absolkagome. Now, on with the fic!
The wolf had been running for days now. The past two had been rainy and cold. She was tired, and had had nothing to eat since she left town. The rain had stopped a while ago, and she sat down to rest.
What point is there to all this running? I'm not getting anywhere. Where am I running to?
She laid on the grass and closed her eyes. They sprung open a moment later to a familiar scent. The wolf checked her surroundings before slowly and silently getting to her feet. She looked around again and pinpointed the scent. Waited...1...2...and... pounced! The mouse lay dead beneath her paws. She had broken its neck in one quick swipe. It had never known what hit it. After nothing but the bones was left of her meal, the light brown wolf laid down again in a soft patch of grass.
Paradise is so far away... Does it even exist? If it does, would I be able to find it? It could be right next to me, and I'd never know...the only thing I can do... is keep... on... running...
She slowly drifted into sleep. When she awoke it was night. The moon had just risen, and tonight, unlike the others, there were no clouds to cover it. She walked to the edge of the cliff and basked in the whitish-yellow glow of the full moon. It's beauty reflected in her deep golden eyes.
No matter what new journey I go on, no matter what path I take, I'm still alone. I always was alone, and I probably always will be... I don't mind. But sometimes I wonder... what it would be like to have someone to be with.
She lifted her head back and howled at the moon, a slow, mournful song. It lasted several minutes, only stopping so the wolf could catch her breath. When she was done, she lowered her head and opened her eyes. The melody still lingered in the air.
Sometimes I wonder... what it would be like, if someone was out there to howl back.
Short chap, i know. The next one is pretty long, and it only takes one review from you to get it up.... c'mon, you know you want to.
