Lece-Thorn is dead!
Rave-WHAT?!?!
Hiei-strolls by whistling wiping blood off his sword.
Rave-Hiei-chan!
Hiei-Lece made me do it Rave-sama.
Rave-Lece...arigato.
Lece-You're welcome.
Tsume-Should I ask why he's dead?
Toboe-Nope.
Kiba-I'm curious now.
Rave-Shut up!
Lacona-Poke him with a stick! Poke him with a stick! Poke him with a stick! Poke him with a stick! Poke him with a stick! Poke him with a stick!

Rave-Shut up Tsume.

Rave-You're just anxious to get all cuddly with a certain wolf again.
Raine-growl.
AUTHORESS NOTE!!!!!!
I probably shoulda mentioned this earlier. At chapter 4 when Raine was all healed up and the group was traveling on, it was after Cheza was taken by Jagara. Blue was still in the group, still is now. So here's the group, Tsume-Raine-Toboe-Kiba-Hige-and Blue. No more Cheza. I hate her! I finally saw all the episodes of WR and I freakin hate that flower! She made Kiba sad! Grrrrrr!
Toboe's Raine
Raine couldn't describe the feeling. It gnawed at her insides. The sight of her younger brother snuggled up next to Tsume. 'Am I...am I jealous?' she asked herself.
She shook her head and sat down in front of the fire. "No way," she muttered, "Impossible."
"What's impossible Raine?"
Raine blushed and said, "Nothing little one."
Toboe smiled and snuggled closer to Tsume's back. As Raine's jade eyes fell on them, the feeling returned. She looked back into the fire. She chewed her lip in thought. "I know that look," Hige said, "Kiba looks like that when he thinks about Paradise."
Raine smiled softly and mumbled, "I'm thinking of another paradise."
She sighed after a few hours of staring at the flames. She felt a gaze on her back. "Can't sleep Tsume?" she asked.
Tsume painfully (he was shot remember?) sat up beside her. "Something's wrong with you," he said gruffly.
Raine rolled her eyes and said scathingly, "Are you always this bright or is it only when you're injured?"
"Watch it," Tsume growled.
Raine glanced back at Toboe. He was sleeping soundly. "Have you been protecting him?" she asked.
"Why?" Tsume asked.
"I want you to continue," Raine said softly.
"Why?" Tsume asked.
"Why are you asking so many questions?" Raine asked.
"I just want to know."
"Why can't you accept what I say?"
"Now you're starting with the questions."
"Because you're being disagreeable!"
"I'm not being disagreeable. I just want to know why."
"That's being disagreeable!"
"No it isn't!"
"Yes it is!"
"There's no way you can be related to Toboe. Even he isn't this annoying!"
"Shut up! I ask you one thing-"
"Why are you two arguing in the middle of the night?"
Raine stood up and said, "Sorry Kiba. I didn't mean to wake you. We'll finish this discussion elsewhere Tsume."
She glared at Tsume before stalking off. He rolled his eyes and stood up. "Stupid, ornery, intolerable..." she muttered.
"Now that's being rude."
"Shut up."
"You aren't out of ear shot of the camp yet!" Hige called.
Raine stomped on. She reached the same stream she had her flashback at. She plopped down and said, "I'm going to leave."
"Again?" Tsume asked sarcastically.
"Toboe is much happier here than he would be with me," Raine said glaring, "You guys can provide a life for him that I could never hope to give him."
"Why not stay?" Tsume asked.
"Like you'd want me to stay," Raine said bitterly, "Face it Tsume, I'm not a member of this pack."
"Yeah you are. No matter who you are, every wolf is a member of this happy little pack," Tsume said.
Raine said, "You guys all have a reason to go on. Kiba's is to find Cheza and find where all wolves are supposed to be. Hige's is to be with Blue. Blue's is to find out if she is welcome in a full wolves Paradise. Yours is to have something to do. Toboe's is to find Paradise...and be with...you."
She glared into the water. "I have no reason. I thought it would be to make Toboe happy. But I see now, he was happier before I came back. He's cried so much since I came back. I don't want to cause him pain. So...I'm leaving in the morning."
Tsume rolled his eyes. "I knew you'd give up," he scoffed.
"I'm not giving up!" Raine said angrily.
"You are giving up on your brother. It's the same thing. Why do you bother to come back and give the pup hope if you're just gonna run off again?" Tsume asked gazing at her intently.
Raine glared at him. "I hate you," she growled.
She really did. How could he read her so easily? Everything she did he found out about. "Whatever," Tsume said leaning back, "Hating me won't stop the runt from crying."
Raine pouted. Tsume almost laughed at how much her pout resembled Toboe's. "I was wrong," he said.
Raine looked back at him questioningly. "You are related to Toboe. You act just like him," Tsume said smirking.
Raine looked confused. "How?" she asked.
"That stupid pout," Tsume said touching her lips.
Raine went cross-eyed as her eyes followed his fingers. Tsume smirked and said, "You are both so innocent. It's kinda sickening how naïve you are."
Raine growled and said, "I am not naïve!"
Tsume rolled his eyes and said, "You are. You're like a little kid."
"Screw you Tsume," Raine growled angrily.
She pouted. Then glared. Pout. Glare. Pout. Pout. "Dammit!" Raine cursed, "I hate you Tsume."
She glared hotly into amused amber eyes. "If you laugh at me," Raine warned.
Tsume looked back into the water. Raine broke into a giggle fit. Tsume rolled his eyes and glanced over at her. "See what I mean?" he asked.
Raine reached over and pushed him into the water. He came up sputtering. Raine smiled and said, "Maybe I'll stick around to tick you off."
Raine laughed and walked back to the camp, with Tsume shouting death threats at her back.
Rave-Ok...a little Tsume Raine moment goin on here.
Lece-Oh...that was so sweet!
Lacona- How romantical.
Toboe-What's romantical?
All-NOTHING!
Review plz! Will update soon!
AUTHORESS NOTE!!!! (Yeah...another one.)
Previously I was in a bit of a sour mood. I wrote a kinda dark chapter where I killed off everyone. If anyone wants to read it...e-mail me at kitsune grl 666 yahoo .com (take out the spaces of course.) I'm rather proud of my mass destruction. Any who e-mail me will receive a copy of the chapter via e-mail.
