Raine: I was smart last chapter!

Eilonwy: It won't last..

Raine: Whaddya mean it won't last?

Eilonwy: You were probably just kicked in the head by a deer on a hunt or something...you'll be back to your normal idiotic self anytime now...

Raine: Hey, Eilonwy! runs in circles around Eilonwy Wanna play tag?

Eilonwy: sigh I knew it was too good to last...

Raine: Huh? Huh? Do ya? taps Eilonwy with her paw You're it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Wolf's Rain, if I did, Cheza would be dead already.....hehe..read spoilers...Cheza dies! (Friends heard in background mumbling: It's about time..) If it were up to me, she would've died back in ep. 14 when Darcia held the sword to her throat. Since that unfortunately didn't happen, I obviously don't own it...curses..

"Okay, if we send Wolf A here, then Wolf B here we should be able to..."

"Raine.."

Raine looked up at Toboe from her kneeling position on the ground where she was drawing symbols in the dirt. "Hmm..?"

"That's a bit complicated, don't you think?"

"That's her problem. She doesn't think." said Katana as she made her way past them, heading back towards the clearing.

"Well, Eilonwy's a complicated person, therefore we'll need a complicated plan." Raine explained.

"How about we just..." Toboe whispered something in her ear.

"That's a great idea! But can we at least use this part of the plan?" Raine asked, pointing to some scratches in the dirt.

"No!"

"Well, how about this part?"

Toboe looked where she indicated. "What's the point of any of that?"

"I just always wanted to do that....you know, be all spy like..." Raine began creeping off through the trees doing self narration.

Toboe rolled his eyes.

"Stealthily she creeps through the night..." Raine began, still doing her self-narration as she made her way towards the makeshift camp.

"It's still daylight!" Toboe shouted at her.

Raine spun around. "I know that! Night just sounds better..I mean would you take me seriously if I said 'Stealthily she creep's throught the day?'"

"I wouldn't take you seriously either way.." Toboe muttered to himself.

Back in the clearing

Katana stood watching the setting sun, and rising moon.

"They're late..." Eilonwy said from where she sat on the boulder a little ways behind her.

"Not yet..the sun hasn't completely set yet..." Blue said softly.

"They still have a few more minutes." Kiba said.

Eilonwy shot a death glare at him. "No one asked your opinion..."

"Well, no one asked yours either." Kiba countered.

"I was just saying my opion aloud to myself. You just happened to over hear." Eilonwy shot back.

Tai, who was sitting at the edge of the clearing finger combing her hair, decided to speak up rather than continue listening to Kiba and Eilonwy's bickering. "They fight like an old married couple.."

"DO NOT!" Kiba and Eilonwy shouted in unison.

Everyone but Raine and Toboe had returned to the clearing by now.

Tai continued finger combing her hair. Hades was laying on his back throwing pebbles at the back of Hige's head. In turn, Hige completely ignored Hades until a large stone hit him square in the back of the head. Hige, now completely fed up, spun around and attempted to strangle Hades as he had seen Tai attempt the previous day. Tsume stood away from the rest with a look of mild amusement and a raised eyebrow as he watched the unfolding scene as Toboe and Raine enetered the clearing.

Raine eyed the scene. "And you people call me crazy..." she spoke as she crossed the clearing and sat down on the boulder next to Eilonwy, who quickly pushed Raine off and onto the ground. "You didn't have to push me, y'know! If you didn't want me to sit next to you, you could've just politley said so and I would've moved...." Raine stood up and dusted herself off.

"Raine, did you just use 'Eilonwy' and 'polite' in the same sentence again?" Katana asked as she turned towards Raine with a questioning look.

Raine continued to brush herself off while ignoring the feeling she was being watched from behind. She knew it was only Eilonwy shooting her death glares as she always did to someone who had supposedly 'offended' her. As an attempt to shift the attention off of herself, Raine decided to speak again. "You people are acting rather strange, y'know...." She turned away from all of them. "I mean, I understand Eilonwy being stubborn....Katana seems to be alot nicer than normal for some reason...And, Tai.." Raine tunred towards Tai who, oblivious to her surroundings, continued to finger comb her hair. "Since when do you care what you look like?"

In response, Tai looked up at Raine, who's blonde hair was quite disheveled after the day she had had. "Maybe you should try fixing yours too..." Tai said before going back to fixing her own hair and ignoring the total chaos around her.

"Whatever....And can someone tell me why Hige's trying to murder Hades?" Raine asked as she motioned towrds the strangleing two.

Just as she was saying this, Hades began to get the upper hand in the fight. He rolled over so that Hige was now the one being strangled.

Tai, who had now moved on to braiding her freshly finger combed hair, snapped her head up to look at the scene before her. "HADES!" she bellowed.

Everyone stopped what thye were doing to look at Tai since she hardly ever yelled...she just went straight in for the kill.

"Ooooo...you've done it now.."

Hades looked over at her from where he sat, frozen in terror, hands still on either side of Hige's neck. "Huh?"

Tai stomped over to Hades, grabbing him by the back of the hoody and dragging him away.

"Oh sure...you'll defend some porky idiot you just met yesterday, but you won't help your own brother when said idiot is attempting to strangle him....That's just great..." Hades said, folding his arms over his chest and not putting up a struggle as his older sister continued dragging him away.

"If you plan on murdering him, don't take too long! We should've left yesterday, after all!" Eilonwy shouted after them.

"Calm down. It's not like the world's ending htis very minute." Kiba said.

Eilonwy stuck her tongue out at him.

"Oh, that was very mature...." Tsume muttered.

"Kiba's right. We still need to rebandage your wounds anyway." Katana said.

Eilonwy knew they were right. She looked down at the neatly bandaged wound on her upper right arm. Since she wasn't wearing her denim jacket, but just the white t-shirt the wound was easily seen...especially where the blood had soaked through the old bandage. Sure, the wound hurt alot but Eilowny had too much pride to ever admit that. "I'll be fine." she said. "We just need to get moving, I'll rebandage it later."

Katana knew exactly what Eilowny was doing. "Just suck up your pride and let me rebandage it while we're waiting." she said, over the noise of a struggle in the nearby trees.

"If it must be rebandaged tonight, I'll do it myself." Eilonwy said, picking up some extra bandages and disappearing into the trees.
