Chapter VI

Disclaimer: If I owned Wolf's Rain or Watership Down I would defiantly let you know. But since I don't I'll have to stick with doing little fun things like this.

"Woohoo!! We're goin' to a town!!" Hige was being his usual loud self while they walked to the closest city. Kiba had decided that, as a reward to Sukunai for masking himself as a human, the pack would go to a human-town.

Sukunai noticed how strange the 'city' looked from afar and started to feel doubts. "Uh... What's a 'town' like?"

"Oh yeah, you've never been to one have you?" Hige started to prance around in his human form. "It's amazing! All the smells and people and all the chicks!"

"They have chickens?"

Hige raised an eyebrow "Chickens? No, no, a chick is a girl," He made an hour glass figure with his hands. "The best kind of girl is one with big jugs and a tiny waist, but the best kind are the chicks with attitude!"

Kiba took Hige's face in his white hand. "Oh, so you'd prefer a 'chick' over me?"

Hige blushed such a dark red that it reflected on Kiba's skin, "N-no, but, they are still nice... ja ne..." He averted his gaze.

"Well then, we'll have to get someone who will join us while we're here, won't we?" Kiba and Hige's lips met.

"O-okay." He was butter in the alpha male's arms.

"Guys, anou, could you please watch what you are teaching my son?" Tsume had his hand on his forehead and Toboe was giggling like a school girl. "I mean, he isn't like us, sexually I mean..."

Sukunai gave a cute little confused look. "Se-ctu-all?"

Toboe had a straight face in seconds. "No! No! NO! My son will NOT learn about sexuality when he's like three months old!!!" Toboe had his hands over the child's eyes. "You guys can do what you want when you're alone but, until he decides his lover he will have a virgin mind understood?" He gave an adorable deathglare, but it did get the point across. Kiba and Hige's lips unlocked.

"Fine then, let's go." Hige turned around to the road.

When they reached the city it was like a wall hitting the small rabbit's nose. / It's like a field of smells! / He wanted to find all the things he smelled, and people! Dear Frith! There were more people here then rabbit's at the warren. And he could smell something else too, more wolves! But he could smell mostly females, and hardly any males. /But then, what about uncle Kiba and Hige, and daddy Toboe and Tsume? They said they where the only wolves they knew about.../ His question was left unanswered as they all walked in silence through the streets, no human noticing that they were actually four wolves and a rabbit.

"We'll have to find that other pack won't we?" Tsume turned to Kiba.

"Yes, they might know about paradise. But first," He smiled at the little one of the pack, "Lets show this kid what a city is like." And he showed a geuine smile, something that is only shown once in a million years.

Toboe looked around him for a suitable place that they could eat, he noticed that this place was much cleaner then most of the cities the pack had been to previously. And the people seemed nicer too. Every one was chatting and walking around, it was almost, peaceful.

Sukunai was so excited he could hardly stand still. This place was amazing! There were big buildings with gigantic windows and in some windows there were items on sale, clothes, toys, even tools in some of them. He pressed his face up against the glass to try and get at some breads in a bakery shop.

Hige barked in laughter. "Kid, you can't go through there, this is glass." He knocked on it. "It's solid," then he started to whisper. "If you wanna steal somethin' you're gonna hafta go to an open market. I can smell one not to far away, maybe a block or so down."

Sukunai didn't know what an 'open market' was or what it meant to 'steal' but if uncle Hige said it was ok then it had to be right? He followed the rest of the pack, wondering at all of the people, shops and the towering buildings. Soon Sukunai started to notice a change in the buildings, instead of being shops and instead it seemed people were living here instead. Another change started to occur, out in front of the apartment houses were men and women sitting behind table like creations, but that wasn't the cool part, the tables had stuff on them, one woman had a stall with the most intricately weaved of cloths. Another man had a spice stand, all five of the pack covered their noses trying to protect them from the burning sensation they created.

"Hey, Suku-chan." Hige elbowed his little 'nephew' in the ribs and pointed towards a fish stand. "Mmm, you smell that? It's fresh fish, this guy must've caught them this morning, now watch, I'll show you how to get some." Hige looked at the other three wolves, Kiba was checking a dagger that has intricately carved with designs of wolves. Toboe and Tsume were looking at a clothing stand. He made for the table.

The sales man looked up to his customer "Ah, good day sir!"

"Good day to you too, my good man. I've come here to find some purple scaled diamond backed belly-kipper. It's for my poor sick mother" He got out a handkerchief (from who knows were) and blew his nose. "If she doesn't have one she'll die of acute ankantanakimosohigeshi a rare and deadly disease."

The salesman looked confused, he'd never heard of a fish like that before. Mainly because Hige had just made it up. "A purple bellied diamond scaled belly back?" He looked all up and down the stand. "I don't think we have that here."

Hige made a loud wail, getting the attention of passerby and neighboring shops. "Oh, woe is me, my mother, who gave me the life and breath with die a horrible death then... WHY!??" and he kept carrying on in that fashion.

"Uhh, wait here a moment I'll check in the back, sir." And the keeper went to the back of his stall.

Hige laughed out loud "Score!" he took all the herring and walleye an the stall and took off till he was lost in the crowd, with Sukunai right behind him, still just as confused, but feeling that it was ok because no one was saying it was wrong to do this. Once Hige felt they had gone far enough for the guy not to be able to follow them he stopped. "See little guy, it's great, we didn't have to pay or anything," he grinned as he bit into a juicy golden walleye. "Besides, no one can catch a wolf." And he continued eating.

Sukunai had never tried fish before, so when his uncle offered him some he gladly took it. At first he was rather disgusted at the feeling of biting through it's skin and chewing at the wet, oily mass that came off of it but, then it just seemed to explode in his mouth with flavor. He couldn't quite guess what it was but it was good. He dug in like a ravenous wolf.

Once done the both of them sat back in perfectly full silence. Hige looked over at the small rabbit who was starting to doze off beside him. "So you ready for your turn?" he stood up and offered his hand to the white haired boy. "come on, I think I saw the perfect thing for you when we were running." With that they started back into the crowd.

Eventually they came to a shop run by an old woman. The sign she had put up said in large gold-painted letters 'Beautiful Jewelry, If it can be imagined it can be created' of course neither Sukunai nor Hige could read the damn human's sign but they could see they sparkling jewels and necklaces and rings.

Hige bent down and whispered in the small boys ear "now see that? That choker on the very farthest side of the stand? That is what you should get."

Sukunai saw it, it was black leather with a medium sized pendant on it. The bauble was a golden crescent moon with a silver round moon that seemed connected to it. In the center of the Silver was a diamond, it sparkled in the sunlight, almost as though it were made of the suns light and it was trying to escape. "It's gorgeous." Was all he could say.

"I wouldn't call it gorgeous. But yeah, it is pretty. So I guess you're gonna get it?" Hige said crossing his arms over his chest.

The black rabbit nodded. He stood there for a moment, numbed by the beauty of what he would soon steal. /now how did uncle Hige do this again?/ "Uh, uh, Miss?" A rather large lady with graying hair turned to him with a wide smile on her face. At seeing he was merely a poor boy her face lowered to a sort of grimace.

"Whatchu need kid? Trying to drive away my good customers with your damned fleas?"

He didn't know what fleas were either, he needed to a lot of things about the world. His mind suddenly went blank. Then he remembered what Hige did. "I'dlikeapurplescaleddiamond-backedbellykipper" It all spilled out like a bucket of water on his tongue, then he realized his mistake when he heard Hige slap his forehead and sigh. All of a sudden he felt fear, he didn't know why but he did. The only thing he could think of was getting the necklace. So he grabbed it. The lady saw this and realized whet the boy was doing in an instant.

She in-took a great amount of air. "Killer sic-em!" and from behind her came a huge dog, almost as big as a wolf, and it seemed twice as vicious. Sukunai ran.

He didn't know where he was running, all he knew was that he needed to get away from the dog, once he was away from all of the people he changed into a rabbit, then a human, trying to figure out what form would be better for running. Finally he stumbled at the feet of a human.

"Huh?" A girl with bright violet eyes looked down at him with an amused face. Then he heard the dog again, it was knocking over garbage cans to get to him. The girl looked up and growled. The dog hesitated for an instant, which was long enough for the her to jump at it. As she jumped she changed, she was no longer human, she was a wolf. A large black wolf, the two scrabbled for a moment but the victory was most defiantly the female's. She tore out his neck and stomach with her bare teeth. Then she started to feast. Sukunai watched on in horror, wanting to leave, to run away again, be he couldn't he was drawn to the scene of blood, it was like his eyes were not his.

He never did remember about how long this went on but he did remember it ending. The wolf turned to him and changed into a girl again. "Since when could small woodland creatures turn like wolves?" She shook her head and laughed, her laughter was calming, even though she looked like a crazed woman, she had raven black hair all except for her bangs, in the center they were yellow and beside them was green hair. Her eyes were a pure violet and her left eye had a scar on it that spanned out in a spiked form. "Well, I suppose I could feed at least a part of my pack with you." She smirked "or I could keep as a snack for myself." In a flash she was a wolf again and had Sukunai by the neck. This was too much for him, the small rabbit passed out.

Author's Note: YES! Another one down. Thanks for the reviews yo! (Although I wouldn't mind getting a few more ja ne.) But now, what will happen with our little Sukunai-chan? Will he be food? Will the pack save him? Or will this new pack adopt him? Who knows? I Do! MWAHAHAHAH!!! I sorry, I'm just in a really good mood today. smiles really big for a long time then just drops it. Oh who am I kidding, I'm sad, my Col-kun (some of you know him as scrapbook boi) hasn't been at school for three days!!! I don't know if he died or his grandpa. It makes me sad. I'm gonna need some good vibes from ya'll. But just so you all know, if I don't write for a long time it's cuz' I'm comforting my Scrapbook boi. Sayonara

P.S. Many of youo seem to think that I don't understand the fact that wolves make an illusion. The only one (so far) that I have said actually metamorphosis's is my little Sukunai. You want the full explaination? Sukunai is no normal rabbit, he is much like the character El-ahrairah is able to. You wanna know why? ;PPPPPP you'll hafta keep reading then!
