Chapter ten:
The Truth can Always Hurt
Lost but not forgotten.
The words echoed through her tired mind, even as she opened her eyes. She was lying on something soft, and yet hard, in some places.
Groaning, she blinked her eyes open to look at the room she was in. "What?" she started, and quickly realized that her voice was awfully dry, and hurt when she spoke.
Serena lifted herself up, so that she could see what she was lying on. "Oh my god," she said, not caring that her voice cracked.
She was lying on a body! Panicking, she wrenched herself back, fearing that the woman, who laid naked beneath her, was dead.
Accidentally she bumped into a thin wire that hung from the ceiling and connected to the woman's arm. She froze, her body stiffening for a second, as the sound she had created echoed throughout the room. Once silence descended on her again and no one came rushing in, guns drawn, Serena made sure she was more careful about climbing off the body. Shivering, she rubbed at her arms, as she looked around the room.
The place was practically empty.
Serena turned around, and looked at the girl lying motionless on a bedlike structure. She had pale skin, so pale that it looked as if she had never been touched by the light of day. Her pale green hair was long and silky looking. The strands flowed around her, covering her in the needed areas, and also long enough that parts of it laid on the ground.
Gingerly, Serena touched her own hair. When she looked down, she realized that the braid had been undone. But the most startling news was she the wasn't wearing Molly's clothes anymore. The outfit her best friend had let her barrow was gone, and she was dressed in some sort of gown.
"What the hell," she said aloud, her voice echoing in the empty room.
"So the rumors are true." Serena started, whipping around at the sound of another voice. Frowning, she stared at the woman dressed in golden armor. A helmet fit securely on her head, with long purple hair falling behind her.
"Who are you," Serena asked cautiously.
The woman smirked, the corner of her red lips lifting into a smile. "We all thought you were dead," she said finally, causing Serena to shiver. Her voice was kind of creepy as it echoed about the room.
"Harmona," the woman spat, when she looked over Serena's shoulder. "He hasn't given up on her yet," she said aloud, her voice laced with venom.
When the stranger reached for the sword she had tied to her waist, Serena moved forward. Using her body, she blocked the taller woman from the one behind her. "Oh?" the woman tilted her head. "You think you can protect that wench?" she asked, her voice etched with amusement.
"If you plan to harm her, yes," Serena answered with bravery she didn't feel. She eyed the broad sword wearily. How could she go up against something like that?
"Brave words for a halfling."
Serena lifted her head, her eyes staring at the woman's covered face. "Halfling," she echoed. What did she mean by that, she wondered silently.
The older woman slid her sword free from its sheath, and held it out for the young blonde to see. "Yes, halfling. But I bet your beloved mother never told you," the woman crooned.
Serena's mind raced, grasping at all the stories her mother had told her as a child. "It doesn't matter," the stranger said, her voice sounding impatient. "This ends now."
She had barely had a chance to grasp the other woman's meaning, before the armor clad woman rushed her. Stepping back, she brought her arms up over her head to protect herself. Her skin began to tickle, the flesh prickling, as if her body had fallen asleep.
The woman brought the handle of the sword down, "Oh no you don't!"
Serena let out a cry, before the handle was slammed hard against her head. Light exploded before her eyes, and she felt her body crumple to the hard floor.
Darkness began to eat away at her vision.
The last thing she saw before she slipped into unconscious, was the tall woman bringing down her sword on a hose that connected to the bed the sleeping woman laid on.
Tears collected in her eyes, as her eyelids closed on the sight she saw.
----
"Mommy, why do I have to keep my hair so long?" a three year old girl asked, as she fingered the long blonde strands. She glanced at the woman who sat on the edge of her bed.
The older woman sighed, the corners of her mouth lifting into a smile. "Because your father would have wanted it that way."
"My father?" the girl asked, her voice filled with hope.
The child's mother nodded sadly, the smile easily slipping into a frown. "Yes. He would have liked your hair to be long, as it is a tradition in his family."
The young girl nodded, as she nibbled on the ear of her stuffed bunny. "Mommy, will you tell me about daddy?"
"I could," the older woman said thoughtfully. "Yes, maybe its time I did tell you about him." The older woman shifted on the bed, so that she could be comfortable. After that, she fingered the blanket that her daughter slept with. "Your father," she started, her voice thick with emotion. "Was the guardian of the flower maiden."
The child eagerly sat up from where she laid on her bed. "The flower maiden," she asked. Her eyes brightened at the very words.
"It was said," her mother continued. "That the flower maiden was the key to finding paradise. It was your father's duty to watch over her."
Shifting in her bed trying to get comfortable, the younger girl stared at her mother in interest. "A man named Oakum came years ago, and tried to steal the flower maiden. He wanted her so that he could find his way to paradise.
"You're father thwarted Oakum's attack. But by doing so, he sacrificed his life."
Tears filled the young girl's eyes. "He- he protected the flower girl?"
Her mother nodded, before she pulled the child into her arms. "He stood before the flower maiden, and protected her."
Burying her face into her mother's shirt, the young girl whispered, "I don't like this story mommy."
"I don't like this story, at all," she continued to sob, as tears fell from her eyes.
As the dream began to fade, she heard her mother say softly, "I know Serena, that is why you wont remember any of it."
----
Crying? Someone was crying.
Serena groaned. Her head felt like it was being split open. Struggling, she tried to open her eyes. Her vision was red, and shapes were distorted.
What happened? she wondered. Weakly, she rolled over so that she laid on her back. Her vision swam, making her nauseous. Her head hurt more than anything though.
With slow movements, she lifted her hand so that she could wipe at what was blinding her. When she pulled her hand back, she found herself staring at something sticky, and darker than the haze that surrounded her.
Blood, her mind screamed. She was bleeding!
"Coming," a small voice whispered close by, breaking the silence. Turning her head, Serena looked at the body that laid near hers. Who? She could barely make out a girl with short hair. The color was undistinguishable with her blurry vision. But it did look like she was wearing a bright coat, with matching boots.
"Coming," the girl said again, her eyes slowly opening.
Red, the one color she could make out around her. The girl's eyes appeared to be red, but Serena wouldn't put her money on it. The girl wasn't all that far from her, lying on her side, and yet she couldn't even tell what the girl's hair color was.
Serena was startled when the girl started to move. The girl was either weak from fatigue, or as sore as Serena felt, for she had to really struggle to get up. It took her a few tries to get to her hands and knees. From there the movements seemed easier, but she was clearly struggling to stand.
Once she was on her feet, she stood there, staring at the wall as if in a daze. Lost in her own thoughts… Then as if expecting someone, jerked around to face the doors, which were quite a distance away from them.
Groaning, Serena fought back the rising nausea as she tried to look as well. The double doors, which had looked ominously closed, swung open. A figure, whose shape was distorted by distance and her lack of foresight, stood in the doorway.
"Cheza!" the person cried, his voice echoing around the room.
----
Kiba lifted his nose to the air when a familiar scent assaulted his nose. No, he thought, his head shaking in denial. It wasn't possible, a part of him tried to assure him. He had left her behind. Had given her the chance to return to her life.
They why…?
He lifted his nose higher, taking in the scent that lingered in the air. Faint, so faint, and yet he could smell it. Could tell where it led him. She was here, he argued. It wasn't possible that he was wrong. That the scent he smelled wasn't Serena.
Serena, he whispered the name. And how often had he howled to the moon, hoping that she could hear him? How many times had he sniffed the air wanting to catch her scent? And how many times had she interfered with his thoughts, distracting him from his journey?
Too many.
He had hoped that leaving her behind would help him. Help them, and protect her. If he knew she was safe, then he wouldn't worry. If she was home, then he could search for paradise, and protect Cheza.
But he had been wrong.
Without her being there, his mind wandered and his senses weakened. He failed in protecting Cheza, because he had been too worried about Serena. Without her, he found himself worrying over her safety. How could he know she was safe, with hundreds of miles between them?
He had been wrong in listening to Tsume. Leaving Serena behind had only made things worst.
And now Cheza had been taken from them.
Without a word to his comrades, Kiba rushed out from the shelter they had found. They were close, so close. Stopping would hurt more, then help them.
As he ran, his form shifted into that of his wolf one. His paws pounded against the Earth, tearing up the terrain at he ran. He couldn't stop, not when he was so close to finding her again.
He reached the castle within hours. The sky had already darken, while when he had started, it had been morning. As he raced through the open doors, his form shifted, taking his human image once more.
On two feet, he didn't move as fast, which helped ease the burn in his lungs, and the ache in all four limbs. He entered a large room, his feet coming to a stop, as his eyes scanned the walls. His nose sniffed at the air. Serena! he called out in his mind, knowing that she was here, along with Cheza.
Kiba raced towards the stairs, taking them two at a time. A hole in the wall had him jumping. He covered it in one leap, his feet landing with a thud on the second level. So close, so very close.
He didn't hesitate, but as soon as he landed he was running. He came to a long hallway, that led to a pair of large black doors. There, in there, he shouted in a rush. Excitement coursed through him, pushing him beyond his limit.
Near the end of the hall, his shoes slid across the floor, nearly throwing him into the door. His eyebrows drew together as he stared at the blood that spilled across the marble. The body that laid near the wall didn't go unnoticed by him. Its not her, his mind tried to reason with him.
Growling, Kiba shoved the doors open, and rushed inside. His eyes moved quickly, taking in everything at once. His eyes fell on the person standing in the middle of the room. "Cheza!" he shouted, knowing it was her. A part of him sighed with relief, while another tightened. Not here, the part cried. He could smell her, her scent thick, in the air of the large room. But he couldn't see her.
Gone, he wondered. Something twisted sharply inside, nearly sending him staggering on his feet. Her scent had led him here. How could she be gone?
"Kiba," he heard, the voice hardly above a whisper. Frowning, Kiba shook himself from his troubled thoughts. He needed to pay attention. He couldn't lose her again, not when he had lost her three times already.
Resigning himself, Kiba took a step towards the Flower Maiden. He needed to focus. He needed to protect Cheza now. Once he had found Paradise he would search for Serena, and bring her back with him.
He saw the figure too late. The man who had clung to the shadows that warped the room raced forward, his body a blur. What? Kiba blinked, his eyes widening, as the man attacked Cheza. His hand wrapped around the girl's fragile neck, and he lifted her up off her feet.
Kiba gasped, his body going rigid as anger seized him. Cheza cried out, her body dangling in the air. The man only tightened his hold on the girl's throat.
"Cheza!" he shouted, feeling utterly useless.
----
Serena gasped, her mouth opening in shock. The man had moved so fast! She had hardly seen him. The movement in the air was all that had hinted to his sudden attack. And even then she hadn't been sure what was happening. Not until he had already struck.
"Cheza!" the person who stood in the doorway shouted. The Flower Maiden, the one Darcia held in his grasp, had called the person Kiba. That blood that clung to her face, and ran into her eyes warped her vision, making it hard for her to see. Reaching out, she groped for something that could help her up. Anything would have been nice, but it appeared she wasn't close to anything to use as a leverage.
The girl cried out again, as the man tightened his hold on the girl's neck.
No! something inside of her roared.
Serena gasped, her hand flying to the front of her gown, to grab at her heart. A small whimper escaped her parted lips.
On its own accord, her body began to move. Where she didn't have the strength before, something fueled her muscles to move now. What am I doing? she thought in a panic.
Like a doll, her arms and legs moved clumsily, till she was on her knees, and then finally on two feet that struggled to hold her. How? When she looked up, she felt like she was seeing through someone else's eyes. She had no control over her own limbs, for they moved themselves.
----
Kiba stiffened. His body, which had been prepared to leap into action, froze. Movement behind Darcia, had him frozen to the spot.
Serena…
He could see her, even at such a distance. What is she doing here, he wondered, his eyes moving quickly to take in her appearance. His eyes blazed with fury when he saw the blood. It trickled down from the top of her head. A thick stream ran into her eyes, but she hardly seemed to notice.
She was also oddly dressed in a white gown of some sorts. The fabric hardly fit her small form.
As she climbed to her feet, she seemed to struggle for a moment, before she was able to stand. Her body shook from the effort to hold her up. What is she doing?
A low growl sounded from deep within his throat, and unconsciously his form shifted to his wolf. His fur stood up on end, as he voiced his displeasures. The man smirked, his eyes faintly glowing. Then, before anyone could react, Darcia tossed Cheza aside. And like a rag doll she crumpled into a heap on the floor. The sound she made had Kiba taking action.
With a snarl, Kiba leaped for the Noble's throat. He snapped and growled, trying to get a hold on the man, who struggled to evade his attacks. With one eye, Kiba kept close eye on Serena, as she made her way towards Cheza. The rest of him was focused on tearing the man in front of him, apart.
Landing, Kiba hardly stopped to catch his breath, before he lunged. The man withdrew his sword, and swung. He barely avoided the blade, but managed to clench his teeth around the man's unprotected arm.
Darcia howled with raged, and he brought the butt end of his sword down on the wolf's head. With a yelp Kiba let go, and hit the ground several feet away. The two gasped for breath, as they stared at one another. His lips curled back, showing his bloody teeth. He could still taste the man's foul blood on his tongue. It was nearly enough to make him retch from the feel of it.
Kiba tensed, his body ready for the man to attack him. But instead, Darcia whirled around and raced towards the unprotected pair. Panicking, Kiba raced after the man, but knew he wouldn't be able to make it in time.
"Serena!"
----
Serena felt frozen for a moment in time, as the two attacked. It was a battle of wits. A fight for survival. The sight of blood had her eyes filling with tears, and she wanted to help the white wolf. With Darcia's back to her, she could have probably been of some help. Distract him long enough to help Kiba get in a good hit.
But instead, she found herself dropping down beside Cheza, who laid unconscious on the ground. What is wrong with me! Serena cried out in her head. She would have screamed if she could. Her body was moving on autopilot and the button was jammed.
A howl had her head jerking to attention. She looked up to see Kiba dangling from the man's arm. Kiba, she whispered, wanting to give him her strength. But she had none to spare.
Serena winced, her eyes watering when Darcia slammed the end of his sword onto the wolf's head. Her eyes followed the wolf as he landed safely away from the man dressed in black robes. He's okay, she tried to tell herself. But it didn't stop the flow of tears.
Despite the fact that she wanted to help Kiba, another part of her had her looking back at the girl who laid motionless behind her, she shivered. The very thought of this girl being hurt had somehow fueled her with strength she didn't have. But when the girl had actually been hurt, Serena had been able to move across the room even though before she could hardly work her arms.
"Serena!"
The shout had her jerking out of her thoughts of the Flower Maiden. Slowly, as if unable to move any quicker, she turned towards the cry. She drew in a started gasp, her eyes widened, as saw Darcia running towards her. She moved, her arms throwing themselves out to protect the girl lying on the floor.
The tip of the man's blade came to stop inches from her neck. "You're in my way," he said, his eyes staring down at her in hatred.
In his way… Serena wondered. He could have easily cut right through her to get to Cheza if he wanted. What could be holding him back? It was then she saw the faint impression of glass. It was hardly noticeable, unless you really looked. But just centimeters from the man's blade was a thin barrier that surrounded herself and the girl behind her. It's shape was like a large bubble.
"I wont let you hurt her," she said with confidence she didn't quite feel. It was like before, when that woman had shown up. For reasons unknown to her, Serena found herself putting herself in danger to protect another.
"Serena," the sound of his voice was refreshing, after so long of not hearing it. Her eyes flickered to him, since she was unable to moved her head. He stood just a few feet away, his body a mass of white fur. He was gorgeous. Seeing him made her heart pound within her chest, and made her lungs heave as if she couldn't draw in enough air.
She had found him again. She wouldn't lose him, whether he wanted her around or not, she wasn't going to let him walk out of her life without a fight. She loved him too much.
Against her will, she stood. The tip of the sword followed, but couldn't touch her. Darcia looked into her eyes then, now that she stood once more in front of him. It was like that time in the graveyard. How long ago was that, she wondered. How much time has passed?
In the back of her mind she could feel the pull of the curse from his golden eye. But the barrier that protected her seemed to weaken it. Unlike last time, she could fight the pull of sleep.
"You're so much like him," he said softly. He spoke so low, that she had to strain to hear it. "You must really be Tsuki's daughter." The blade lowered, the tip hitting the ground with a clink. The barrier in front of her faded, as if it knew that the danger was over. He shoved the sword towards her, thrusting the handle into her hands before she could move. Her hands grabbed it before it could fall, and she held it with both hands in order to keep it from dropping. The weight was astounding.
Darcia turned from her then and began to walk away. She stared at his back in surprise, wondering what could have changed his mind. He seemed like he had really wanted to kill them, but he was giving up. Why? Why would the fact that she was like her father, change his mind? She had never met the man since he had died before she had been born. But she had her mother's stories. But they aren't stories, she admitted finally. They're real.
A wave of dizziness had her swaying on her feet. The control over her body slipped away, and she stumbled forward. The strength she once had evaporated from her form, leaving her feeling sick to her stomach and weak with fatigue.
"Serena," he said, sounding so close.
She looked up, and her hands released the sword in order to wrap themselves around his neck to cling. "Kiba," she cried hoarsely, tears flooding her eyes. "You're okay."
His arms moved to hold her around the waist, pulling her up close. "Serena," he whispered again, his face buried in the crook of her neck. He breathed in deeply, and his arms tightened around her. "I'll never let you go," he said fiercely, his fingers digging into her sides.
Serena nodded, her arms tightening their hold on him. Her hands moved to run through his hair. "Oh Kiba… I-" she was cut off, by a shout.
"Kiba!"
The two turned to see the rest of the wolves arrive. "Get out of here!" Tsume roared, his voice sounding frantic. Toboe and Hige were running towards them, when a bright red laser ripped through the ceiling. The pair cried out, as the explosion it created threw them back.
"Toboe!" Tsume shouted from the doorway.
"Hige!" another voice, one Serena didn't recognize, shouted.
Horror filled her as chunks of stone, and debris were thrown in their direction. Kiba turned them around, protecting her as the ceiling crumbled around them. Serena fisted her hands around the front of his jacket, crying out with each jerk he made when he was hit.
"We need to get out of here," he whispered roughly. He let her go, but didn't let her move away too far. Serena nodded, and moved to help Cheza. Another beam of lasers cut through the ceiling, tearing up the floor. The path it created blocked off the other's access to them.
"Kiba!" Tsume shouted from where he had to stop short. The chasm before him was deep and wide. Kiba turned, his expression calm. "Help the others!" he called in reply, before he turned to help her.
Serena pulled away, as Kiba lifted Cheza up into his arms. He took hold of her hand, and started forward, searching for an exit.
A hole that had been created in the wall, had Kiba running in that direction. Serena stumbled to stay on her feet, but smacked into Kiba, when he drew up short. "What-" she began to ask, as she looked out from behind him.
She gasped, her eyes widening at the sight of the things dressed in black armor. They swarmed in through the hole like angry bees. Each one withdrew their weapons. "Grab her," Kiba said, and he shoved the Flower Maiden into her arms.
Before Serena could say anything, Kiba's image rippled. She blinked, her eyes focusing on the white wolf, as he ran ahead to attack the soldiers. "Kiba," she whispered, her eyes trying to keep him in sight.
"Run!" he shouted as his tore into one of the black armor suits.
Where, she wondered, even though she was already turning on her feet. Where could she run?
Serena pulled up short, what little air she had in her lungs rushing out in her surprise. Her arms tightened around the girl she held to her chest. Blocking her escape was a line of soldiers, dressed in black armor. Where did they come from? she asked herself.
The group moved forward as a union, causing her to take a step back in fear. She screamed, unable to do anything else. Before she could act, one of the soldiers moved towards her.
"Serena!" Kiba shouted, having heard her scream.
She barely had time to flinch, before the soldier rammed the butt of his sword down on her head.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Poor Serena… she is so going to have a migraine. I hope this chapter is to your satisfaction… If not, I will willingly get on my knees and allow you to throw your tomatoes at me.
I did write this chapter four times, so please be somewhat gentle with me… But I think I am finally happy with it… well I better be, I guess. :D
I know, not a whole lot of action, I'm still working on those skills in writing. But this chapter did contain quite a bit of information…
I'm assuming you all now know who Serena is and why she is so special. The golden woman gave away quite a hint in the beginning.
I must apologies for some things. This story isn't exactly actiony… its more adventurous, and romance. Sorry about that. Until I am better at it, it will continue to be poorly done…
After this chapter, this story will never cross with the original show. Well except chapter eleven does have a small tid bit, about the ride on the aircraft, but that is all, and the only similarities, is where Cheza is, nothing else. After that it is all me.
Also, I would like to explain the time. The last two chapters, only crosses with the show, of what I explained. So how Kiba and the other's found Cheza is up to your own imagination. Serena spent six days out in the middle of nowhere with the wolves. And then from the time she left the hotel to when Darcia kidnapped her, was four days. Then two days pass, and she meets the golden armor woman, and then five days pass before she wakes to find herself hurting, and meets Cheza. So this means, the month of June is coming to close.
Yay!
Anyway, Important information, I am sorry for any extra mistakes. I wrote the chapter for the fourth time last night, because I was depressed about what I had before. So if there is a lot of errors, I am sorry.
Now for what you've all been waiting for…
Reviews:
Hacen: I know what you mean. I would love to be able to read more WR crossover. Hopefully more people will come out with more. What is Serena? Well I will say after this chapter the information starts to spill, so just hold out a little longer.
Selene: That's not it, but I was wondering could I use that idea for another story… It sounds really cool. It soooo puts me in the mind of Galarins, (don't think I spelled that right). But its a PS2 game, and now a movie.
Pumpunita: Hey no prob, I don't expect you guys to review, even though it nice… but if you cant, you cant. No biggy, as long as you keep reading, and tell me every once and a while how I'm doing. Amara and Michelle… well I guess I could say Amara does… you'll see her later. Umm.. I think this chapter answered your other questions… and actually I am curious about your name… its really cool… unlike my generic one… :D
setsuna-3000: Umm the man… I'm assuming you mean Darcia, (If I'm wrong tell me). Okay, Darcia is a Noble, as for what noble is that is a little hard to explain. But, he's pretty old has lived for lots of years. He's in love with Harmona, and is searching for Paradise to save her. I think Harmona has some kind of disease that can only be cured by going to paradise which is why he needs Cheza. Uhh… oh yes, also Darcia is half wolf, I.e. the golden eye he has. I'm not sure how he has it, but his eye is cursed. And one look at it, puts people to sleep. Which is why he wears the patch. Umm that's all I really know about him. You could get more I think from websites. The ones I go to are and http:www.moonstruck.nu/wolfs-rain/characters.html. Check them out if you want…
Jypsee: Lol… Um that story is kind of on the back burner. I'm not all that happy with it. If I did continue it, I would more than likely have to go back an rewrite what I have already rewritten. Sorry, its not on my top priorities, because I don't feel like I did a good enough job on it.
Rayne StarDust: To begin with, I really like your name. I love the name Rayne… Sorry to say this, but no Serena isn't a Wolf… she's something else entirely. I will be writing a story where she is a wolf though… the lost forgotten Child. Darcia meant by that… well I cant really say… its pretty much means she's important to their world… but for some reasons she's taken away. So to them she is lost, but they never forgot her. Hope that helps…
Raepan: Oh wow. That is really scary. My god, I would have been terrified… I am sooooooo glad things turned out okay. Yea I am still only able to eat stuff like that. Bread is hard because it falls into the holes in the back of my mouth… last thing I need is to get infected… so I hardly ever eat, and if I do its minimal… but man when my mom made Spaghetti I began to drool… I am sooooo tired of mashed potatoes, macaroni, and ramen… anyway. Lol… I don't think I could have ever ate that… I bow down to you. How you could eat that… wow… But its good see that even through such an ordeal, your okay. :D I'm am very glad you liked my story, because I am grateful to get to know you. Take care.
Serendy4evr: Lol, yea I was glad when I woke up afterwards… yikes… I have never been hospitalized. I'm sorry that you had to. My dad has, and having to visit him there was horrible, having to stay much me worst. Hey glad you like it. :D
Flame Ivy Moon: I thought I would get a lot of these questions… Um what I mean is that, Serena is very important to their world. Her purpose I mean. But before she was born, she's taken away, and they cant find her. So to them, Serena is considered lost, but they wont forget her. I hope that helps.
Sunshine Fia: Yea, sorry about that… this chapter at first was meant to revolve about after Serena was left behind. Her being lost, but not forgotten… and then I change my mind when I added Cher, and the others into the plot. Actually I was able to eat mashed potatoes and noodles. As for cleaning I had to rinse my mouth out with salt water. Most nastiest thing the world… having to do it willingly that is… Actually I am doing just fine… thanks. :D. sore, but living…
Me: Well you weren't the only one… but its good to hear from you again. :D
Senshi's Tenshi: Yes, you are right. The fact that it took her longer to effect her, was because of who she is… hence Darcia's understanding who she is in the end. Yea, Cheza is childlike, which helped me come up with the idea of the ending for this chapter. I have plans for Cheza. :D Yea, I'm not sure if he ever mentions it in the show, but I think Tsume isn't happy having someone like Kiba leading them around. I love Concrete Tenshi's story… I envy her, for her great skill in writing.. I'm glad you like it as well… is deserves to be reviewed a lot! And I hope more people write this type of crossover. I know I am a fan…
Hn: hehe… is it possible? Well you know, truly I don't… I mean they are wolves, who can become Human… in my opinion, I think the creator of Wolf's Rain messed up in that area… there is a weakness I think in this part of the story, about the Wolves becoming human… mainly having to do with what goes on in the show… such as when Tsume reached for the kid, he actually bit the kids shoulder… and yet Kiba can hold Cheza like a human can hold someone. Its shaky… I must admit, I have contemplated on making her pregnant. And if anyone else reads this, will know that in later chapters… I do say that she is. I hope this wont ruin the effect of the story for you, but it sort of helps tie in the plot later on. As for the full moon bit, yes what happened that night was the part of Serena that has been buried for years resurfacing.
Concrete Tenshi: Well think this chapter answers a lot of your questions. Yes Serena is in a lot of trouble, and it only gets worst for her, here on out. Just wait until you meet her mom… Yea I think I should have wrote something on the wolves. Which is why I rewrote this chapter last night. So that you guys can get a feel on how Kiba and Co are doing… :D glad you like it.
Mesu Juu-Chan: Well I don't want you doing that! I mean we all make mistakes. But I am glad that you decided to give my story a chance. :D thanks
Well that is all. I hope you guys enjoy your week, I look forward to reading your reviews! Until next Monday, all of you drive safely, look both ways when you cross a street, and give your family hugs and kisses.
Take care until next time on Nobility!
