Chapter One

Meetings.

She walked out from the gates of her school, looking around at her fellow classmates scattering around her in their little clumps.

She tugged on the short skirt of her school uniform and sighed, the cold biting into the tender flesh of her legs and face.

She knew it would only get colder, and her "Job" as her stepfather called it, would be harsher than usual tonight.

She walked half a block and took the alley between a strip mall and a bar.

it was dark, even for winter, and that darkness made even the shadows in the alley all that much darker.

A sound came from behind her, scaring her.

She ran down into the dark abyss of the alley until she collapsed against a wall, gasping for breath.

She heard a clatter just to her left and jumped, looking toward the noise.

An exceptionally large and hairy rat scuttered from the trash and into a hole near her feet, making her take a step back.

Holding a hand over her heart, trying to calm it's frantic beating, she turned and shreiked when she bumped into a solid body.

Kiba covered his sensitive ears at the shrill sound.

"Hey, Did you hear that?"

"Yeah, That damned wolf must have gone that way!"

"We'd better hurry, or else we might find another dead body." A third said, sarcastically.

A scent caught Kiba's sensitive nose and he grabed the girl and jumped into the rafters above, racing off across the rooftops toward the abandoned building he had used as his den.

The girl had feinted when he had grabbed her, but as he sat her down on the blankets he had managed to steal, she began to wake up.

As soon as she saw him, she screamed again.

He covered her mouth with his hand.

"Quit Screaming!" He snarled, and was surprised when she stopped.

She sat quietly, her eyes far away.

"Stay." he said, leaving her to go into the city.

Returning to his wolf form, he raced through the streets to a friend.

Placing the glamour on himself again, he tapped on Jikudo's shoulder.

"Oi! Kiba, you scared me. Here's today's take, and a treat for you." The vendor said, handing over a fistful of cash and a hotdog to the brown haired teen.

"Arigato, Jikudo, Can i have a few more? I have a guest tonight." he said, pointing to what was left of today's meals.

"Sure, I'll see you on monday." The old man said, waving to the wolf as he trotted off toward his den.

When he arrived back at his den, the wolf saw that the girl was still there.

She was as he had left her, leaning against the wall in the tiny cramped closet that was his home.

The door and the wall had collapsed with the times, but there was a small opening through which he could climb through easily, so it was perfect for him.

He stood over her, staring down at her head for awhile.

Dropping the hotdogs into her lap, he sat opposite her, and watched as she snapped out of her daze.

She began to take a tentative bite of the hotdog, until she startled him with a question.

"You're not human, are you?" She asked, then bit hungrily into it.

Kiba stared, not sure what to say.

"You don't act like a human, are you a wolf?" She asked, and when he didn't say anything she nodded in affirmative. "I thought so. You are verry nice, for a wolf."

She finished off the second hotdog in a few seconds.

When she was done licking her fingers, she looked bck up at him, matching his gaze.

"Why did you bring me here?" she searched his gaze.

he remained silent, averting his gaze to the mouth of his little man made cave.

"Oh, I see." she stood up and walked toward the "Door"

"Wait. It's going to storm soon, you should stay safe."

"I dont sleep on the streets." she said, her words more biting than the cold surrounding them.

She started to get down on her hands and knees to crawl out when he stopped her.

He was silent, not giving her any reason other than his silent plea to stay.

"Oh, alright." she said, thinking of what would happen if she went home now.

"Well, My name is Sato Mika, You can call me Mika, though." she said, walking over toward the back wall.

She sat against the wall, her silence telling him more than he would have ever asked for.

"Kiba." he said, staring at the fading light at the door.

"What?"

"Kiba, My name is Kiba."

"Oh."

She stared at him, silently studying him, asking what he wanted to do with her.

She lay down, a ruffling of clothes and the shifting of rubble told him that she was taking his spot.

He listened until her breathing evened out, and she was asleep.

The sound of her breathing sent him off to sleep.

He woke around midnight, as snowflakes fell heavy upon the earth, covering the world and wiping out any sign of life from the streets.

He could feel her shivering beside of him, and he shifted so that his thick fur was close to her.

She turned and wrapped her arms around him, her brows furrowed.

"No.. Don't leave.....Kiba.." She mumbled, almost to soft to hear.

He lay for awhile, pondering over her actions, then he fell back into sleep.
