OKAY! It has been a really long time since I've written a fan-fic... That depresses me. -frowns-Oh well, I hope people like this one, I will note that nothing in this fic will be yaoi (Tsume x Toboe, Kiba x Hige, etc.) I despise yaoi... I really do. Although, if it's really good yaoi and it has nothing to do with Hige or Tsume for that matter, I will read it... Maybe. I don't usually flame or read yaoi so it's all good there. Okay now! Onto my description of this chapter!

This first chapter will be a prologue, written from my made-up(Tsume's "sister)'s POV. I've been dreaming most of this whole thing up for a while so now I am turning it into a fan-fic.

Disclaimer: I do not own Wolf's Rain. I wish I owned Hige. I do own Ara. My friend thinks she owns Tsume. She does not. I have given my other friend Kiba. -innocent look- She should appear in this story...

Prologue

I sat quietly in the den with my mother. I could still hear them arguing, my brother and Papa. I was just a pup then, but I still remember everything from that day...

My mother was doing her best to keep me from hearing what was happening, but she knew it wasn't helping much. Tsume was leaving us. He had decided to leave when wolves started to turn on our family. Papa was the alpha. He had been doing everything in his power to keep the pack alive and they took it for granted. Tsume didn't want to be in danger any longer. He offered to take me with him and keep me safe...

[ Tsume growled angrily at his father. "We are your children! Do you not care for our safety any more than that of the pack?!"

The brute's eyes widened a bit and he glared at his son. "You are not in control, Tsume. I no longer have a pack to protect! I only have Ara, your mother, and you! I'm doing everything I can -"

Tsume cut him off in mid-sentence and barred his teeth. "No, you aren't. They will come back. If you are concerned for Ara and I then let me take her to the city with me. We will be much safer amongst the humans who cannot see us for what we are."

"You are not taking your sister anywhere near those monsters, Tsume. If you are to go, you are to go alone..."

Tsume narrowed his eyes at his father and turned to leave. He only looked back once and saw Ara, howling in sorrow... ]

I remember trying to keep up with Tsume. I fell behind though. Papa had carried me back to the den to be with my mother for comfort. He didn't return to the den until the next morning.

Six years have passed since that day. For a this time we have been safe from the other wolves. Not until this morning did we begin to run. They did return, as my brother had said they would. Papa was killed earlier this morning. My mother was killed while she fought to protect me. She told me to go to the city and find Tsume. Those were the last words she spoke. And now I'm on my way to the city. I really don't know where I'm headed. I'm going on instinct. I can't sleep until I'm there, though. It's not safe. I will never be safe...

End Prologue

WOO! Prologue is finished. I'll probably do more than just this chapter today. I'm on a roll! Reviews are very much appreciated.
