Chapter three:

Garbage and a Pizza

Serena bit her lip in apprehension as she stared down at her guest that inhabited her living room. "Okay, just hold still, and I'll be done in a jiffy," she said, trying to ease his tension. She could tell he did not want to be touched.

Ignoring the soft growls coming from him, she managed to carefully remove the old bandage. "It looks better," she admitted. "But I think I'll wrap it again just in case."

She turned from him, to look at the pile of clothes she had set next to her. Her favorite winter scarf looked like it would do the trick. "Since I'm out of gauze tape, this will have to do."

She selected the pink one, with small white bunnies. "Yes I know you're a male, I figured as much since you snuck into the bathroom." she gave him a withering look at that memory. Pervert, she mentally accused.

"But I'll remove it, when you decide to leave, so that you wont feel humiliated, okay." She gave him an encouraging smile. Lifting his back leg some, she began her work on wrapping his wound.

He only snapped at her once, causing her to flinch, but he never attacked her. She finished within minutes. "See all better…" she trailed off weakly. Her blood was roaring through her veins, while her heart pumped loudly in her ears. "Well I feel like watching a movie, what about you?"

She stood from where she had been kneeling, and moved to grab the remote. Switching on the TV, she made her way to her collection of old movies. "What do you think?"

Since he gave her no reply, she selected her favorite, Old Yeller, and place it into the VCR.

As the movie started, she plopped down into her other couch, a plain love seat, and settled in comfortably. "This is my favorite, I'm sure you'll like it," she supplied, and then added as an afterthought. "I'll defrost that chicken after it, so you can eat. And I'll order some pizza for us to share, deal?" she looked over at him, and smiled.

He was lying comfortably on her couch, his head lying down on his paws, as he watched the movie.

It wasn't like she expected him to answer her. The thing was, she just felt happy talking to someone. Even though it was a one-on-one conversation, it felt good talking to him. She usually spent her days off, alone in her apartment watching movies by herself.

But not this time. She told herself. This time, I have him.

----

He flinched when the golden dog was shot. It brought back bad memories of the old man who had chased after him many times. Instinctively, he looked down at his leg. It had been a close call this time, but then so had many other encounters.

A sound had him looking away from the TV screen, where the boy was being given a new pet. He studied the human curled up on the other bed, and sighed inwardly.

Quietly, he stood from where he laid, and sniffed the air. His leg was feeling better, which meant he could leave soon.

She had said he could. When he was ready to leave, she had told him. He dropped to the floor below, and silently made his way to her. She had been angry when he had walked into that room to see what she was doing. It appeared she had been bathing, for when she had come out, she had been completely wet.

Sitting down in front of the bed she laid in, he watched her closely.

He can now almost understand why Toboe had lived with humans, and why Hige had chosen to live as one of them. For the last two days, she had fed him, gave him water, and a bed to sleep in. She had also even cared for his wounds.

Gingerly, he sniffed at the air, tasting the scent that lingered with this human. He watched her sink down in the cushions, seemingly fast asleep. Her arms were wrapped around her form as she shivered from the cold.

His eyes shifted, looking at the home for any visible threats. He saw none, smelled none, and felt nothing. Trusting his instincts, he climbed up onto the bed the human laid on. Fitting there next to her, he lend her some of his warmth.

The scent of her was almost over powering his senses. Drowsily, he rested his head on his paws.

It didn't take him long to fall asleep.

----

She felt heat all around her, which was unusual since she had fallen asleep on the couch. While it took hours to heat her apartment, it barely took one to get cold again.

Cracking an eye open, she was surprised to find her face buried in something white. Something white, warm, and very soft. The corner of her mouth lifted, as she recognized the beautiful creature. He had given her his heat.

As if sensing her gaze, he lifted his head and because his back was towards her, he had to look over his shoulder to see her. "Hey." She ran her fingers through his fur, loving the feel of it. He was just so soft.

"Sleep well?" she asked him. In reply he titled his head slightly, his eyes still trained on her. Smiling, she nuzzled her face back into his fur, and breathed in deeply. "Not only are you beautiful, but you smell good too. Even for an animal…"

Her eyes were just closing, when she felt something wet slide across her cheek. Blinking herself awake, she stared at the creature in shock. Did he just lick me, she wondered.

She felt her cheeks warm at the thought, and they reddened even more, when he continued to just stare at her.

"Oh, I- um…" she struggled to say something, but stopped herself. Sighing, she offered, "I bet you're hungry." She climbed off the couch, and hurried from the living room. She would make the chicken, and call for pizza.

I'm growing too attached to him, she thought. She hesitated, her finger hovering over the numbers on the phone. Glancing over her shoulder, she looked at the entrance to the living room. He'll be leaving soon, and I'll have to be able to say good-bye. For some reason, she couldn't seem to shake off the sadness that that thought caused her.

Few minutes later, after ordering three large pizzas, and putting the chicken into the microwave to defrost, she walked back out into the living room. "Well we have forty-five minutes before we can eat," she announced to him. Tipping her head back, she tapped her chin thoughtfully. "I know, how about a bath!" she clapped her hands together, as if the thought was a stroke of genius.

"I'm sure you wouldn't mind feeling clean, right?" she asked, her eyes finally looking at him. He did not seemed to agree with her on that one. "Oh come on, where's you're sense of adventure?"

To her chagrin he laid back down, and she had to wonder if he had actually rolled his eyes at her. "Oh fine, you're no fun." Crossing her arms over her chest, she finally relented, "then what would you like to do?"

Serena watched as he jumped down from the couch, and slowly made his way across the living room. Following him with her eyes, she was startled when he walked to the front door.

Sadness crept up on her, as she stared at him for a second. "Oh," she whispered, before walking after him. "So you want to leave already." Her hands formed fists at her sides, her body tensing against the ache in her chest. "Okay," she murmured, as she pulled the door open, showing the outside of her apartment, and the set of stairs that led to the street below.

"I-If that's w-what you want, I understand." She couldn't seem to get her voice to work right. It broke off in the wrong parts, and wobbled as if pressed by some kind of emotional stress.

The lithe body of her companion for the last two days padded his way outside. He stopped, and slowly turned his head to look at her.

It was another dreary day, just like the ones before it. She could hardly see the sun with all the gray clouds splashed across the sky. And the wind was a little too harsh as well.

Following him out, she gently shut the door behind her. "I really wish you would stay another day," she said sadly. "You're leg I-I think could use another day…"

Instead of leaving, like she had thought he would, he moved back to her side, so that they stood next to each other in front of her door. "But I thought…" Slowly a smile formed on her face. "You just wanted to go for a walk, huh?"

Serena gingerly scratched him around the ears. "All right then, lets go."

They descended down to the street, and followed the sidewalk. "By the time we get back, dinner should have arrived" she exclaimed, before she broke off at a run.

"Bet you cant catch me!" she called out, as she turned the corner, running with the sidewalk down a near desolate street. She heard the tall tale of padded feet thundering behind her. Looking back, she shrieked, just as he lunged. His large body knocked into hers, throwing her into a pile of trash that had been left out to be picked up by the garbage truck.

Serena burst out into a fit of giggles, even though his weight made it hard for her to breath. "All right, all right, so you're faster!" Still laughing, she tried to push him off, but when that didn't work, she shouted, "Hey, let me up!"

Grinning madly, she tried again to push him off, and yet again it didn't work.

"Stubborn… err, male!" Serena reached up, and scratched the top of his head, her fingers running through his thick white hair. "You know, I'm lying in a pile of trash, that smells rotten to the core. I'm going to need another shower, thanks to you!"

It was then he licked the side of her face, adding his saliva and breath to the banana peals in her hair, and coffee grains on her clothes. Her smile glowed, and with that, she wrapped her arms tightly around him, hugging him close.

"This has been the best two days of my life!" she admitted breathlessly. "Because I found you, my life isn't so boring anymore!"

----

They returned to her apartment, just when the delivery man showed up with their meal. She paid for the three pizzas, and carried them inside. Silently, he followed her, letting the smell of food assault his senses.

Opening a box, she breathed in deeply. "God doesn't that smell wonderful?" She looked down at him, and grinned. He sniffed the air decisively, before jumping up onto the table. Leaving him one box, she carried the others to the counter.

She grabbed herself a piece, and ate it. "I love pizza." Selecting another piece, she devoured it just as quickly as the first. "I could probably eat this whole box all by myself," she confided to him.

He was easily finishing off his own box, and it wasn't until he had eaten everything inside, before he looked up at her. He sat down on the table, with an empty pizza box in front of him. But instead of eyeing the third box, his eyes stared at the human who tasted every bite she took of her food, and squealed with delight at each mouthful.

"That was delicious," she stated. And he had to silently agree with her. He had never eaten anything quite like it before. Sure it wasn't like the fresh kill of a deer, or rabbit, but it still tasted good.

"Oh I'm a mess, look at me." she cried, while holding out her shirt to inspect the mess. He was looking at her. And he wasn't derailed by the sight of pudding marrying her pink shirt, or the scent of cabbage on her pants. Her hair was even decorated with orange and banana peelings.

But even with all those smells, he could still catch her scent. "Well I'm going to need another shower. How bout you, do you want to join me?"

He tilted his head to the right. She had given him the chance to leave earlier. And I didn't take it he thought. Instead he had chased her down the street, and tackled her into a pile of garbage.

What was becoming of him? Did he enjoy the fact that she treated him like a pet, like a mere dog?

A faint howl startled him from his brooding thoughts. Turning his head, he looked out the small window, and narrowed his eyes. "What's wrong," the girl asked.

The howl came again, only this time a bit louder.

Jumping from the table, he raced out of the kitchen, running into the living room. He reached the large window, and peered out through the glass.

Another howl. It wasn't all that far away either. "What was that?" he turned his head to see the human standing behind him. She was looking out the window, her eyebrows drawn together in worry.

She had just heard the cry of a wolf.

It appeared that his time to leave had finally come. As if sensing his thoughts, she looked at him, her eyes betraying what she felt. "You've got to go, don't you?"

She tried to force a smile, but he could tell it was only to hide the tears that had filled her eyes. Why was she acting like this? He would think, she would be happy to see him leaving. One less mouth to feed, one less worry to think about.

Serena sighed, pulling back from him, and moved to the door. She pulled it open in the same manner she had earlier. She knew this was coming, she just hadn't been prepared enough for it.

She watched as he bounded out into the cold again, but this time didn't sit there, as if waiting for her to follow. He eyed her carefully, his golden eyes flashing in the dim lighting. He was so beautiful, she wished she could keep him forever. Locked away in her home so that only she could see him.

Instead, she said, "I'm going to miss you-" she cut herself off, feeling foolish. "I don't even have anything to call you." Reaching up, she ran her hand through her hair in frustration. She probably wouldn't ever see him again.

"Kiba."

The male voice startled her, and looking up, she was about to ask, when she stopped. It was only her and her guest for the past two days close enough to have heard her. "What?" But who had said-

"I said my name is Kiba."

Serena jerked back, tripping over her feet, and landed hard on her rear. "Y-you can talk!" She stared at him, her eyes wide, and her mouth gapping open.

He said nothing more, but turned, and sprinted down the stairs. And like that, he was out of her life.

Hello readers, and writers alike. Here is the third chapter of Nobility. I hope this chapter was to your satisfaction.

I must add, before I leave you tonight, that I have lied once again. I feel like I am becoming a chronic liar, and for this I sincerely apologies.

See, in the first chapter I had mentioned the Cheza would hardly make an appearance, and that this story would take off with just only my ideas. Well to be truthful, there is one chapter, that may consist of spoilers. But I will warn you ahead of time, of when that chapter arrives. And I swear on my life only that chapter, will cross paths with the original show.

As for Cheza. Well I have finally come up with an idea for Serena's past. I had no idea what to do with her… until I remember Cheza, and came up with this grand idea. So if you dislike Cheza, as I myself am not so fond of her, I am terribly sorry. She will play a major role in this story, but only until later in the story.

Again I am terribly sorry for keeping the truth from you, and I promise never to do such a thing again. It was quite irresponsible of me.

But I do hope that you will continue to like this story. To be consistent, I plan to update every Monday, so that gives the story seven days to collect reviews. This will also give me a deadline each week, to keep ahead. So far I am no where near of being in danger of having to postpone this story.

Now I believe I will finally shut up, and answer the questioned placed in the reviews.

Reviews:

Serenity Komoshiro: Serena will be meeting the rest of the wolf gang soon…

Liza: In my opinion the series was very good…

Machiko: yes the others will appear within a few more chapters… I think two…

Watergoddesskasey: You didn't ask a question… but I have one of my own. What the heck is invader zim???
