Kiba and Blue lay naked in each other's arms, though their bodies were no longer one, but their spirits were. Kiba kissed Blue's neck delicately and Blue moaned silently. Blue gently pushed Kiba away and ran her figures through his hair.

"This is certainly one way to keep warm naked." Kiba said smiling boyishly.

Blue laughed, "Yea"

"SHEILD YOUR EYES HIGE AND TOBOE" Tsume shouted, as Hige and Toboe covered their eyes and Tsume looked once at Blue, smiled and then saw Kiba and quickly covered his face as well.

Blue turned purple and quickly covered her breasts and looked for her clothes. She slid into her pants and quickly buttoned her shirt. Kiba was right behind her covering his body as he dressed quickly.

"You can look now." Blue said now dressed, with her beautiful hair messed up and covered in snow.

"NO YOU CAN'T!!!" Kiba yelled glaring at Blue, who just looked at him and smirked. Kiba zipped up his pants and then spoke, "Okay, now you can look."

Tsume laughed at Kiba and Blue and was obviously amused by this whole spectacle. "Well, we NOW know what you two have been up to!"

Kiba smiled as Blue blushed.

However, suddenly the mood was no longer so glamorous, in-fact it was completely opposite. Tsume's facial expression seemed to change completely. "Let's walk Kiba." Tsume said thoughtfully.

Blue took Hige and Toboe and went over to talk to them on a stump hidden by the forest, while Tsume and Kiba talked.

Tsume walked with Kiba, his heavy steps compacting the snow. "We were attacked." Tsume began.

"What?" Kiba asked, his good mood now faded.

"Darcia attacked us. What is going on Kiba? We cannot put Toboe and Hige in danger any longer. What have you done?" Tsume asked almost wrathfully.

"I took Cheza from them. I took and hid her." Kiba said.

"You did what!?" Tsume spat "How could do such a thing. To put such young lives on the line is reckless and irresponsible."

"Don't preach to me about responsibility! Who bailed you out after you bred that female in Alaska? Who helped you defeat Ljech, that wolf that tried to kill you four years ago? Who did all these things? And the one time I act on instinct you bust my ass for it, I will not allow it!" Kiba began to get real defensive real fast.

Tsume then, to Kiba, changed the subject entirely, "Do you love Blue?"

"What does that have to do with anything?" Kiba asked.

"A lot, actually" Tsume said bluntly, "You bedded her in human form, what if she has a human child, she can no longer be a wolf, she will forever be human. Don't tell me that if that happens that you will stay human with her. I know as well as you that you cannot stand humans and that you need to be wild and free, tis why you are a wolf." Tsume said.

"I can learn to get along." Kiba began but was interrupted.

"No you can't. You hate them it is your nature and this you cannot change."

A deathining pause was heard.

"Plus I think you are still in love with Cheza and not with Blue. Why did you bed Blue, when you stole Cheza because you wanted her safe only hours before?" Tsume yelled.

"You bastard!" Kiba yelled as he punched Tsume across the face. As the fought Blue suddenly ran up with a pale face and tears of fright in her eyes.

"Both of you stop it! Darcia is back." Blue gasped.
