Chapter 5: Rescue Story

For a few minutes Shori returned Blue's stare, slight confusion in her eyes. Then Shori pushed the boys aside to get to the bedside, making the boys do a face-plant into the floor.

"Hi, I'm Shori. I'm so glad to see you awake," Shori said in a friendly, slightly hyper way. Blue gave her a small smile.

"How did you find me?" Blue asked as Shori sat on the edge of the bed.

"Well...It was about three months ago. I went out into the desert, outside of town for the full moon, like I always do.

It was a nice calm night with stars spread all over the dark sky with a glowing, pale moon right in the middle. There were no clouds and there was a nice breeze.

I remember, it was around midnight that I smelled your scent and then it wasn't long until I saw you by the moonlight.

At first I was shocked, but then I went over to you. You were injured badly, but nothing was broken.

You were mumbling something, but I couldn't understand. Then, you fell and I helped you up, and on the way to town, you fainted.

I took you to my apartment, here, and took care of your wombs. They're all healed now, have been for a month and a half, but you didn't wake up."

"And when were you going to tell us she was awake?" Shori asked pointing at her brother. "I was about to..."Hige replied with an innocent look.

They all laughed, interrupted by a loud gurgle. Blue blushed. "I guess, I'm hungry." "Oh, I'll get you something to eat," Shori said in-between giggles.

"I'll help," Blue said, getting out of bed. But as she got to her feet, she crumbled to the ground. Hige immediately helped her up, and supported her. "I don't think you're ready to walk yet," Hige said letting her sit on the bed.

"Don't worry, I can get it myself," Shori said as she went through the door.
"Hey, sis, get me something, too. I'm starving," Hige shouted out the door.

His only reply was a small laugh from the kitchen.

When Shori came back with the two plates of food, one for Blue and one for Hige, the wolves were having a conversation.

"And when you're ready to walk, we can leave, try to find Kiba and Cheza," Tsume said. "You're going to leave?" Shori asked giving the plates to Hige and Blue.

"You can come too, Shori, right guys?" Toboe said seeing Shori's sad face. "Of course she can come!" Hige said. Shori cheered up a little.

"Well, where are you going?" "We're going to Paradise, but we'll have to find Kiba and Cheza first," Hige answered her.

Shori's face turned sad again. "I-I don't know..." "What do you mean!? Why wouldn't you want to come?" Toboe asked surprised.

Shori turned away from them, towards the door. "I just don't know...if that's something I could do. I mean I'd probably just get in the way..." "No, you wouldn't, you-" "I'm going to the market, to buy some things," Shori said, cutting off Toboe and leaving the room.

Toboe looked at the others, whose faces also were concerned.

Sunaru: Okay, I got that done. Hoped you liked Shori's little story. Please review.
