I know...I know...It was short, and kind of boring, but very necessary. So, I guess what I am trying to say is DEAL WITH IT! There is a mistake in the first and second chapters, and if you find it, I'll find a way to slip you into one of my chapters . Time to begin our tale again...

Chapter 4 Taken

After many exciting tales about what both Hige and Shiggaru had been doing while separated, they both fell into a deep sleep from which they would soon be awakened.

Not very far away, just beyond sight of the trees in fact, waited in hiding, a tribe of huntsmen raised from the cradle to recognize, and kill on sight, all or any wolves they happened to come upon. These huntsman knew how to cloak their smell and move as softly as a jack rabbit in the snow. This explains how they had been following the cunning quartet for a fortnight, and not yet been discovered.

Finally they had their chance, they would attack before dawn. The only flaw in their plan was that the girl had heard them a few days back, when one of the bowmen got careless. She would know they were coming, and this they would have to plan for.

Still asleep, no one saw the three thin, yet muscular men standing at the entrance to the cave. They snuck into the opening, and to the very back and, without being noticed, they gagged Shiggaru, and carried her out of their little shelter.

As the pack awoke, they immediately realized that something was amiss. When the huntsmen saw that their pray was awakening, they could not wait for backup, and attacked full force, before anyone knew what was happening.

The biggest one was holding a spear, and he had been watching them long enough to know that Kiba was the leader of the pack, so he lunged at him head on. Luckily for Kiba, he was, by now, awake enough to access the situation. He ducked to the right, and the spear became lodged in the side wall. This large, and fairly savage hunter, then decided that it was time to use his fists, but because he was so large, his swing was clumsy and off balance. The moment he was turned around, Kiba (in his wolf form) threw himself on his attacker, and bit deep into the jugular, causing almost instant death.

The two smaller ones headed for Tsume, Hige and Toboe. One charged, fist first at Toboe, who wasn't paying attention for squat.

"Watch out!" yelled Tsume as he pushed him away from what would have most likely been the end of Toboe's face. He tackled the assaulter to the ground, and started flinging punches like crazy. Of course, this wasn't enough, so he turned wolf and tore the little hunter to pieces.

After both of the killers were dead, they realized that Shiggaru was missing.

"Where's Shiggaru?" asked Hige looking around the blood bath. She was nowhere to be seen. He was not going to let something horrible happen to his little sister just when he had found her.

They all ran to the outside of the cave, and started calling Shiggaru's name. Hige sniffed the air around him, and found which direction she was taken. He ran off, and sensing why, Tsume, Toboe, and Kiba followed after him.
