Wow my third fic! I can't believe it! No, really, it's not that big of a deal. It will be my first Wolf's Rain one though. I decided to do it unrelated to the series since I haven't seen the whole anime yet. But guess what? I DID get my DVD box set w/ the OVA! Yayness! Party! Sorry, I'm like sooooo high off of air right now...lol. Wahoo...-oooh-ooooooooh- ooooh!

Anyways, here is my long-awaited fic: Keeping Secrets!
Love ya,

.:Chapter 1:.
Kiba
The P.A. system buzzed into Mr. Kirobaka's homeroom.
"Mr. Kirobaka?" it buzzed.
"Erm, yes principal Takoshi?" he asked, slightly annoyed at his Science lesson being interrupted.
"Please send Kiba and Hige to my office immediately," he said sternly.
Kiba gulped. He had never been to the principal's office before. Sure Hige had, but he hadn't
He glanced over at his best friend who was, to his disappointment, smirking.
"What does the old Octopus want this time?" he smiled, putting his arms behind his head.
The class giggled at his pun of Mr. Takoshi's name. Getting up with a sigh, Kiba followed his friend out of the room.
"Bye Mr. Baka!" Hige waved cheerfully before whipping his head out into the hall.
"Hige! Office, NOW!" Mr. Kirobaka shouted over the class's uproar.
"Isn't that where he's already headed?" said Kiba blandly.
"SILENCE!" Mr. Kirobaka fumed, shutting the whole class up instantly.
Sniggering, the two boys headed down the hall to the principal's office.
Tapping his pen in the lockers, Hige asked, "So. What did you do?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" said Kiba in his monotone voice.
"Huh, I didn't do anything!" Hige shrugged matter-of-factly.
Kiba was about to continue, but they had reached the principal's office.
"Go straight to his office, boys," the secretary said.
Pushing open the door marked 'Takoshi', Kiba stepped into the well- refurbished room. Behind him, Hige poked in his head, and stepped fully in when he realized he wasn't going to get an ear full of angry words.
Kiba noticed a girl sitting on a chair opposite the principal.
A girl? We're actually getting another girl?!
There were only 15 girls at their school currently, so having another addition was a pretty big deal.
Hige just gaped. Why wouldn't he? The girl was gorgeous. Her curvy, tan, figure was clad with a low-cut white tank top that was under a jean jacket. She had on khaki pants and clunky, light colored wood sandals secured with a brown strap of leather. Her brown hair was pulled back, but a few pieced flattered her face. She had a khaki colored suede headband, but her hair was up in a messy bun. What Kiba and Hige didn't notice was that she had a necklace with the symbol for Lunar Flowers on it. She turned to them, stood up and extended her hand.
Her soft blue eyes almost melted Kiba. Obviously, they had succeeded with Hige.
"My name's Nami. Nice to meet you, ah...?" She started.
The spiky brown haired boy took her hand and finished for her, "Kiba"
She smiled and then turned to Hige, "And you are...?"
"Pleased to name you, my Hige's meet!" he blurted out, and then blushed from embarrassment.
"Hige, huh? That's a cute name," she said with a giggle.
A goofy smile spread across Hige's face.
"Yea..." he murmured.
Kiba rolled his eyes and addressed the principal, So. What were we called here for?"
The principal lowered his gaze, took a deep breath, looked Kiba right in the eye, and said, "Since there are only 5 people allowed per dorm and all the other dorms are full..." he trailed off.
"Yes, yes, yes? And...?" Hige said excitedly, knowing where the principal was going.
"She will be your new room mate," he finished, exhaling heavily.
Both boys were in shock. Apparently, Nami was too.
"What?! You mean I'm going to stay with a bunch of rowdy boys?!" she screamed angrily, but Kiba and Hige could sense her excitement.
"I'm sorry Miss Nami, but there's nothing I can do. Their dorm is the only one left on campus with an open slot. You have to stay with them, or not go to the school," the principal explained.
Nami sighed, "Alright...I guess..."
Everyone knew it was extremely hard to get into the school...unless you were a wolf of course. But only those students who were themselves knew that the principal was one too.
"Boys, Nami will be in all of your classes as well as your dorm. Help her get her things to the house...and try not to scare her too much, okay?" he added that last part with a pleading tone.
Hige smiled and nodded, quickly gathering up as many of her things as he could.
This is going to be an interesting year...
Being the only wolves on campus (besides two sickly twins), they had the best dorm. Complete with an outdoor hot spring, the place practicaly was Paradise. Except for the school work of course.
But nothing is perfect...
Hige set all of Nami's belongings down in a heap, breathing heavily, outside the door. Luckily, their dorm was also the closest to the school.
Hige led her through the door and into the first room and Kiba followed, listening to Hige's excursion explanation.
"This is the living room. Basically, it's the main place to hang out. We get Premium Cable too. It's sweet, but whatever you do," he eyes met with hers, "don't sit in that chair over there. It's Tsume's."
Nami gaped at the gorgeous room. It had a huge, flat plasma screen TV on the wall to her left that was accented with two small trees in pots, one on either side of it. A burgundy leather couch with oriental pillows was in front of it on the creamy carpeted floor. In the far left corner, there were two chairs close together with a book case in front. Nami also noticed a DDRMax2 and Karaoke Revolution sets hooked up to a PS2 system by the TV.
Geez, you'd think she'd never been in a nice house before...
But he quickly corrected himself, realizing that besides the fact that it was a mean thing to say, he had been extremely impressed himself.
"To the left is our kitchen," Hige explained, pointing out a white tiled room with light green walls. The three of them stood in the doorway.
The entrance was a wide as a double doorway, but there was just a frame. The whole span of the kitchen that was parallel to the living room was an open window though. Various herbs lined the indoor sill and were just above the silver sink. A curving counter top with light green cabinets below went all the way around the room except the farthest and left most walls. On the right wall, there was a white table for five with light green and white chairs around it. There was a white island in the middle of the kitchen, white and green like the rest, but it had a blender containing strawberry smoothie mix.
Hige tugged Nami's arm, spinning her around and heading down the hall that had been directly across from them when they first entered.
The wooden floored hallway took a sharp left and showed five doors almost immediately, three on the right and two on the left. Further down the hall on the left was a bathroom door (Nami could tell because it was open) and at the end of the hall there was a closed bamboo door that supposedly lead outside. And across from the bathroom, Nami could see a double glass door containing a well refurbished study.
"Now this," Hige started, gesturing to the second door on the right, "is your room. It's connected with mine, third one down, incase there's an emergency. But you should be alright."
You have got to be kidding me...
"Kiba's room is right across the hall," Hige continued, glaring at Kiba when he rolled his eyes, "And on the other side of you is Toboe. He's this annoying little freshman kid. But he's okay I guess..."
He looked over at Nami to see if she was listening. Then he continued, pointing out a door next to Kiba's, "That's Tsume's room. He's a senior here, but he's like 20 some years old. He may seem mean and tough, but deep down, he's a good guy."
Hige opened the door to Nami's room. She had a queen sized canopy bed with silk red and gold oriental sheets. She had a matching dresser on both sides and the right one held an alarm clock and radio.
There was a large bamboo-framed chair with a matching silken pad on it. The book case next to it was empty, but Nami knew she would fill it with all of her anime and manga almost immediately.
Smiling, she whirled around and hugged them both, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Whoa, her breasts are soft...
Unfortunately for Hige, in a flustering situation, things didn't always some out right, "Glad you like tit. We did our breast!"
Nami giggled and Kiba smiled.
What an idiot...
"Wah?! Um, I mean..." Hige's voice cracked, causing him to flush an even deeper red, if that was even possible.
"Whatever," said Kiba, lightly grasping Nami's wrist and leading her down the hall.
"That's the bathroom, that's the study..." he said hurriedly, pointing out both rooms.
He was about to lead her into the hot spring when Hige cut him off, "And that's the hot spring!"
Kiba rolled his eyes, but Hige wasn't finished with his tour yet, "Wanna see?"
Nami, not ever having the pleasure of seeing a hot spring before, clasped her hands together excitedly and said, "Oh yes! Definitely! Can we swim in it later??"
Hige scratched the back of his head and flushed, "S-sure. What not?"
Oh my God. I can't believe him...
But Kiba couldn't help feeling a little excited himself. All the girls at his school had a boyfriend, so having a single girl ask to take a bath with you was pretty exciting.
"But...there's only one problem..." she said, looking away from them.
"What? Tell me, I'll fix it!" Hige said enthusiastically.
Nami laughed, "Well, it's really not that simple. You see, I can't...swim..."
Hige got a real serious look on his face. This almost made Kiba burst out laughing and that was a rare thing to see.
"Don't worry, I'll teach you," said Hige, the seriousness growing. But it was broken when Nami burst out laughing. This caused Kiba to crack up too.
"Wah? Hey! Knock it off!" Hige shouted, obviously hurt.
Nami put a hand on his shoulder, "I'm s-sorry,' she said between giggles, "It's just that you looked so funny!"
She wiped a tear from her eye as Hige's face broke into a smile.
"Yeah yeah yeah, whatever. Come on! Let's go swimming!"
Yes, Kiba thought, a rare smile spreading across his sullen face, Let's...
