A Friend's Thoughts
"Where've you been Hige?" I finally found Kiba, after I left Blue's apartment this morning. "Just around. Not that it's any of your business, snowflake." He glares at me and I smirk, trying not to laugh. I lose out. "It's not funny Hige!" He sounds almost hurt. Somehow I manage to compose myself. "Relax Kiba. It's just a nickname. 'Sides, you do look like a snowflake." I'm messing with him now. It makes a good distraction from where I was. "Hige!" "Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
Just don't ask me where I've been. I don't think he'd be overly thrilled about my being with Blue. Add to that the fact that I'm not really sure how I feel about her. And I can't help wondering what he'd think of half breed pups. "Hey Kiba." "What?" "What do you think about pups? I mean, there are only four of us." It can't hurt to get his opinion. Not like asking means I have to tell him either.
He thinks about it a moment. "Pups aren't a bad idea, considering." That's good he seems to like the idea. If I'm feeling what I think I feeling, pups could be in the near future. "But..." Uh-oh, that can't be good. "But what?" "If we're going to go looking for paradise, having pups around could cause problems." He's right. "Why'd you want to know?" "Huh? Oh, no reason really. Just been wondering about it, that's all."
Silence, then, "four really isn't very many, is it?" "No." Hard to think there was ever a time with very many wolves. There are so few of us now. It feels like it's always been this. It's pathetic really. And how we have to live..... "Hige?" He snaps me out of my thoughts. "Yeah?" "If something happens to the four of us....well, will there be any left at all? Wolves I mean." "I don't know Kiba. But you came a long way to get here, right?" "Yeah." He's awfully quiet. "Then I'll bet there're other wolves out there. Somewhere." "Guess you're right." I just hope I am.....
Chaos: Hi!!! Ya miss me? Tell me, does Kiba sound younger than he ought? Or is it just me? Anyway, I think it's obvious he doesn't like his nickname. Snowflake. (giggles) Ha!
Kiba: DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!!
Chaos: Huh? You don't like it? That's okay Kiba-kun. I love you anyway. (glomps Kiba)
Kiba: Let go!
Hige: Uh, right. Don't mind those two. Hope you like the story so far.
Blue: Hige, are you coming? (flirting with Hige from doorway)
Hige: Huh?! Uh, I, uh, see ya later folks. Wait for me gorgeous. (chases after Blue)
Tsume: Idiot.
