First off I just want to state I have not seen the entire series so I really have no idea how it ends. I started work on this fic right after the episode with the bugs or the one right before Cheza left. I really do not care if any of the okami are gei or not. Well ok maybe a little but for now it really does not matter. I am just working with an idea I got so bare with me. This fic will be AU since it only fallows the show to a certain point then branches out.

I was pleasantly surprised by the number Wolf's Rain fics already on FFN but all I really saw were Het, like Inuyasha, so I have decided to get some Wolf's Rain Yaoi up because I am after all a Yaoi writer, mostly. I just hope I can pull this Anime off as well. A reviewer, before this was deleted for a voting question, told me there is more Yaoi then I thought. I really do hope so BloodWolfMoon().

WarNingS: Yaoi, First time with show/pairings, AU shorta, OOC maybe, Cheza's kindda annoying speech pattern.

Disclaimer: Wolf's Rain does not belong to me or anyone else I know. If it did I would be hooking my fans up. Tsume I wish was mine because he is my favorite and all my friends know it.

Tsume opened his eyes as he sat up. "Did you have pleasant dreams Tsume?" A gentle voice asked as the Daughter of the Flower knelt before him with a smile.

"Yeah I guess." Tsume answered as he glanced around. "The others?"

"The others left this one here with you. Kiba said they would return by sundown." Cheza answered still smiling. Tsume nodded frowning slightly in thought. "Are you angry this one was left alone with you again?" Tsume blinking his head at her quizzically unsure why she had asked him that since he was not entirely awake yet. "You told Kiba not to do it again. If you are this one is sorry. This one told Kiba it would be alright."

Tsume shook his head raising a hand to silence her smiling slightly in amusement. "It's alright every once and a while Cheza." He assured her softly.

Cheza smiled relieved. "This one is glad you no longer distrust this one."

"I did not say that." Tsume informed her frowning slightly. -Did I?-


Cheza ignored his protest placing a gentle pale hand on his cross like scar. "Did someone hurt you?" She asked as if the very thought caused her great pain. "Is that why you hate them so?"

Tsume growled softly. "I hate them because they hate us." He snapped showing off his teeth.

"Not all humans hate your kind this one is sure of it" Cheza assured him trying to calm the gray okami.

"Yeah well I'm not." Tsume muttered some of his anger fading as he stared into ruby eyes.

"May this one pet you now?" Cheza asked suddenly.

"Nani?!" Tsume demanded golden eyes wide with shocked surprise.

Cheza blinked at the clearly startled okami. "You are alone with this one and the others all enjoyed this one's touch. Do you dislike this one's touch Tsume?" She asked her dark eyes soft and just a little sad.

Tsume placed a hand gently over her's gold eyes closing as he did. "No Cheza your hand is very pleasant feeling but you pet an inu not an okami." He answered.

"Human's pet inu not okami but this one is not a human you have said this. This one can pet okami if they allow it. May this one pet you Tsume?" Cheza asked softly.

Tsume sighed softly opening his eyes. He met he eyes before nodding and removing his hand from on top of her's. "If it will make you happy Cheza then yes you may pet me."

Cheza smiled large ruby eyes sparkling. "This one is very glad!" She ran her fingers up and down his chest getting a smile before flat out laughter. -Her finger's feel like petals. I'm getting tickled by a flower but it really does feel good.- "This one is happy you can laugh to. You always seem a little sad to this one."

Tsume sighed as he curled up beside her head in her leg. "I've been alone for so very long." He whispered.

"You are not alone anymore this one is here with you as our your pack." Cheza reminded him.

"Kiba's pack." Tsume corrected her gently.

"Kiba relies on your strength Tsume. You both protect us."

Tsume sighed closing his eyes hands curling beside Cheza's gray clad leg. "It's hard excepting I don't have to be alone anymore."

Cheza smiled fondly stoking his soft tightly tied back hair. "This one understands. This one will enjoy sharing paradise with this one's friends."

Tsume smiled snuggling a little closer. "Pack is family." He whispered contently.

Cheza blinked at the half asleep Tsume "This one is Tsume's family?" She asked childlike voice unbelieving.

"Yes, Cheza is a sister." Tsume answered yawning.

Cheza smiled as she allowed that to sink in. "This one likes being sister." She hummed softly as she continued to stroke soft fur. "This one is very happy."

"Hey didn't Tsume tell us to never leave 'it' alone with him ever again or he'd hurt her?" Hige asked looking around.

"He was just mad Hige you know Kiba would never leave Cheza alone with Tsume if he wasn't absolutely sure she'd be safe with him." Toboe answered.

Hige nodded. "Yeah that's true. I wonder if our fearless leader is back yet?"

"I'm not sure." Toboe admitted glancing around none of the humans paid them much mind as the walked among them.

Hige glanced at his fellow pack member and grinned deciding to tease him just a little. "You known I think you're starting to grow on Tsume just a little he seems to snap at you a little less."

Toboe blushed slightly but it went unnoticed by Hige who was sniffing at something in the wind. "But that's good...isn't it?" He asked meekly.

"Totally he's scary when he's pissed." Toboe clenched his bag slightly eyes sad. -He always seems a little sad to me.- "Come on kid lest get back before Tsume gets pissed yet again."

Toboe nodded. "Yeah."

"Cheza?" Kiba called as he neared the cave.

"This one is here Kiba." Chez called back looking up smiling when Kiba entered their temporary den still stroking Tsume's head. "This one has missed you."

"I've missed you to. Is Tsume alright?" Kiba asked frowning at the sleeping Tsume concerned.

Cheza nodded. "Oh yes this one is watching him."

Kiba frowned again. "He's supposed to be watching you Cheza." He reminded her sitting down back against the cool stone of the cave bag beside him.

Cheza smiled ignoring the annoyance in Kiba's words. "This one is fine see?"

Kiba smiled at the smiling girl. "Yes I see. Has he been asleep the whole time?" Kiba asked tone once again slightly concerned.

"No, Tsume and this one talked for a little while." She smiled. "This one is very happy!"

"Why is that Cheza?" Kiba asked curios about Tsume could have said to make her glow eyes sparkling

"This one is accepted. This one is sister!" Cheza answered smiling even brighter.

Kiba could not help but smile back despite his confusion. "I'm glad Cheza." -I wonder what brought this on?-He mused opening the bag and reaching inside before holding out his hand to Cheza. "Here I got you some water."

"Thank you this one is very thirsty." Cheza said taking the bottle opening it before holding it out to Kiba getting a blink of surprise. "Drink you must be thirsty to?"

Kiba shook his head gently pushing her hand back toward her. "I got plenty more you drink it."

Cheza nodded before gulping down the water thirstily. She smiled holding out the empty bottle. "Thank you this one feels much better now."

"Good." Kiba said taking the empty bottle back. "Would you like another one?"

"Yes please."

Kiba handed her another bottle watching her drink it down a little slower then the last one. His gaze shifted slightly when Tsume groaned softly as his golden eyes fluttered open. "Cheza?" Tsume called softly.

"This one is here Tsume." Cheza soothed. "Did you any pleasant dreams?"

"Yes." Tsume answered softly.

"This one is glad. Kiba has returned with water." Cheza informed him. Tsume jerked upright blinking at Kiba who only nodded at him.

"Thirsty?" Kiba asked holding out a bottle not at all surprised by Tsume's annoyed glare.

"No." The gray okami muttered as he moved to sit across form Kiba right arm slung lazily over his raised knee.

Cheza took the bottle from Kiba and held it out to Tsume. "This one knows you are thirsty to. Please drink brother okami?" She pleaded bottle in both her pale hands.

Tsume stared at the pleading Flower Maiden for a moment before sighing in defeat. "For you Cheza just stop looking at me like that alright?"

Cheza nodded opening the bottle before holding it out again. "Yes, here drink." Tsume took the offered bottle as Kiba turned moments before the other two walked in bags spilling to the stone floor.

"Well dig in you two. You look like you're in a good mood there Cheza." Hige commented smiling.

"Yes this one is very happy." Cheza informed his smiling as she examined the food spilled out the floor curiously.

"Well that's good to hear." Hige commented flopping down beside Kiba.

Toboe sat down a few feet from Tsume and started nibbling on an odango he toke form the white paper bag in his lap. He glanced at Hige who was stuffing himself contently with whatever he could easily reach Kiba beside him sniffing curiously at the food ignoring the golden tan okami's feeding frenzy, Cheza contently sipped from a bottle of water ignoring them all momentarily. He turned an eye to stare Tsume who just sat there a bottle of water held by his right-handed fingers expression distant. He bit his lip debating for a long moment if he should just hold his tongue and keep quite but in the end concern won out and he spoke up. "Um...Tsume..aren't you hungry?"

Amber eyes turned to look at timid okami blinking. "Hun?...Sorry I was just thinking." Tsume apologized.

Toboe blinked at the apology but decided it was best not to dwell on it right now. "Oh...here these are really good." He tossed an odango smiling when Tsume snatched it with his left hand easily.

Tsume returned the smile sniffing the odango curiously before chomping it in half. "Not bad, for human food that is." Toboe smiled again knowing that was high praise form the defensive Tsume.

"Oh Cheza here catch." Hige called tossing a bag at the Flower Maiden. Cheza caught the bag blinking at its colorful contents. "It's just colored sugar. Flowers like sugar right?" Hige asked looking at his fellow pack members.

Cheza opened the clear plastic bag and pulled a pink handful out. "It's fluffy?!" She exclaimed in childlike wonder.

"It's supposed to be Cheza that's why it's called Cotton Candy. Go on try it it's really good." Hige smiled as Cheza turned the pink fluffy mass before nibbling on it.

"It melts?! This one likes!" Cheza giggled before taking another bite. "Thank you Hige!"

Hige rubbed the back of his head. "Toboe saw it I just carried it." Toboe blushed a little when Cheza smiled at him.

"This one thanks you as well Toboe." Cheza said with a smile that could melt the polar icecaps.

"You're welcome Cheza." Toboe said with a smile. Tsume grinned chuckling softly at the blushing Toboe. Cheza just smiled nibbling on her Cotton Candy taking a sip of water every so often.

Hige glance at Kiba who was sniffing at a long link of sausages spaciously. He smiled shaking his head. "Those taste good Kiba."

Kiba glance at him frowning thinking back to the hotdog. "Yeah well I've heard that before." He half muttered sniffing the links once more before trying one.

"See I told you." Hige teased patting Kiba's shoulder.

"Yes you did." Kiba teased back grinning.

"Hey kid you got anymore of those things?" Tsume asked eyeing the bag curiously.

Toboe nodded as he stood and moved to sit down beside Tsume. "Sure here." He held up the bag.

"Thanks runt." Tsume teased ruffling Toboe's lose hair with a smile before taking an odango.

Toboe looked down blushing slightly confused by the almost affectionate tone of the other's gibe. "It was nothing Tsume." He assured him smiling. "Hey Kiba?" Kiba looked up at Toboe links still in his hands and mouth. "Here try one to."

Kiba caught the odango and chopped it knowing it was safe. "Much better then the hot dog."

Hige stuck out his tongue at Kiba. "Me to runt." He teased blinking when Tsume tossed one at him before Toboe could get his hand into the bag in his own lap. Hige popped it in his mouth smiling. "You done good kid." He praised sniffing around for any more of them in his pile.

Toboe smiled nodding towards his discarded bag. "There's another bag of them in there."

"Thanks." Hige said grabbing the bag and popping another into his mouth. "Mmm..."

Tsume snorted. "Buta baka," He muttered half under his breath.

"Love you to kizuato. Mmm...yum."

Doctor Cher Degre sighed as she studied Cheza's data. "So those four boys we saw really were okami?" She asked voice soften by awe.

Lord Darcia nodded "Okami are drawn to hana just as hana are drawn to okami." He said simply studying the blonde doctor for a moment. "Tell me doctor what do you want with

Cheza?"

Cher turned from the data. "I just want to understand." She answered voice betraying just how much she desired that understanding.

"Ah but to understand what?" Darcia asked voice amused. "The Daughter of the Flower or the humans that do not exist?"

"Both. Are there more like Cheza?" Cher asked.

Lord Darcia sighed hand on the wall blue eye gazing out into the vast sky. "There were but they have withered and turned to the dust which flutters in the winds that blow through the ruins of my family's home."

"Can't you just make more?" Cher asked the other's sad words did not even cause her to hesitate for an instant.

Lord Darcia turned. "Do you have any Lunar Flowers my dear doctor? Without the Tsuki no Hana there is no possible way to make more. Cheza is unique so innocent and fragile yet so very powerful and coveted."

"The okami only protect her because she is the Flower Maiden don't they?" Cheza ventured waiting for the Lord to answer.

"Yes, the Daughter of the Flower is essential in their quest for paradise but that is not the sole reason they protect her. They protect her because they have no real choice in the matter it is pure instinct. They are filled with the desire to protect her, to be near her, it is a drive that no wolf who has been touched by her can ignore or fight."

"How do you know all of this?" Cher demanded after al he was a Noble not a okami.

"I know a great many things those are but a trifle few." Darcia answered.

"You did not answer my question." Cher reminded him frowning at the smug noble.

"To which one are you referring doctor? I have left so many of them unanswered." Cher blinked at the black clad man. -What do you know?-

Words you may not know.

Buta Pig

Kizuato Scar

Odango Dumplings.


Words you should know or have figured out in context.

Inu Dog

Arigato wolf of ice for pointing out I forgot this the first time around.

Okami Wolf

Hana Flower

Baka Idiot, Fool, ect.

Tsuki no Hana Flower of the Moon aka Lunar Flower

Well that's it for now. Daughter of the Flower is a term I got from a subtitle in an AMV an it appears to be the Japanese counterpart to the term Flower Maiden. I happen to like it so I used it. The whole Darcia thing is mostly bull I just made up that might actually be true. I don't know because I am not reading ahead. I only looked up how to spell all their names. In case you either don't know or forget here are our four lovely okami in no real order.

Kiba Fang. He bites people a lot and happens to be white. Fitting no?

Tsume Claw. He had that blade for a little while and is gray like some animals claws so again fitting no?

Toboe Howling. The kid howls more then any of the others so yet again...

Hige Whisker. He rubs his noise a lot and likes to sniff things so I guess it fits but not as well as the other okami's names but he also looks more like an inu then an okami in my option and is my best buddy's lest favorite of the okami, mine to really but I don't hate him or anything.

THIS FIC WAS DELETED BECAUSE I ASKED IF PEOPLE WANTED HEGI TO END UP WITH KIBA AND I FIND THAT UNFAIR EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN THE WRONG. IF YOU AGREE PLEASE E-MAIL THE ADMINISTRATOR? I LIKE TO WRITE WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO READ BUT I AM FORBIDDEN TO ASK THEM. I REALLY HATE THAT.
