Chapter 3 Proof

FLASHBACK

"Hige! Take your sister and hide in those bushes," said Hige's mother, facing a field with hunters holding guns, and they were running right towards the family of wolves. Hige did as he was told and grabbed Shiggaru by the nape of her neck, dragging her into the cover of underbrush. There they crouched and watched as their mother was brutally shot to death, then skinned to use as clothing for stuck up women with money.

When all of the carnage was over, Hige grabbed Shiggaru, threw her over his back, and ran, not giving her enough time to look at what was left of their mother's remains. He ran for what seemed like hours, until they finally reached their clan's dwelling. By this time though, Shiggaru was sound asleep. All of the wolves stared at them since they were never seen without their mother.

"Where's yer mommy?" asked the newly appointed leader.

"Shut up Relso, unless you want to go scrape her remains up off the ground," Hige answered harshly, but quietly so as not to wake his sleeping sister.

"Get out now," Relso yelled.

Now that their mother was gone, so was their link to the clan. None of the pack would accept them. So, Hige turned around the way he had come from, and headed off to find a new life for the young orphans.

END FLASHBACK

Hige saw all of this flash in front of his eyes. But, he couldn't be sure about her unless he saw the proof. He jumped up, grabbed Shiggaru, and took her outside under the light of the moon. He turned her around so that he faced her back, and he lifted her shirt to about her mid back. There it was, a long scar that covered the length of her lower back. That's what he was looking for.

When Shiggaru was a cub, Relso had tried to murder her. He despised Hige's mother for loving a human instead of him, so he decided to try and kill off her link to the humans so she would love him. It didn't work, she hated him, and he took his revenge on her children when she was gone.

Hige turned Shiggaru around, looked into her different colored eyes, and bent down gripping her in a tight hug.

Kiba, Toboe, and Tsume had been watching the whole time, and knew immediately that Shiggaru would be traveling with them from then on. They all went back into the cave, and Hige and Shiggaru spent the rest of the night catching up on old times.

Sorry, I know it's kind of boring, but the next one will be much better, I promise. Keep reviewing, it boosts my confidence.
