(Thank you everyone for the reviews! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've taken injury to my ankle and had to be in bed for a few days. And the weekend after this coming up weekend I will be gone for a week. But I will try to post as soon as I can. Thanks again.)

'I wonder if that was a dream.' Katsume thought instantly as her eyes popped open the next morning. She didn't know for sure. For all she knew, everything in her life could just be some big dream.

Katsume looked wearily at the raw meat the wolves were devouring.
"I need real food." She mumbled as she turned to look over the small forest covered hill at the little town below.
"But we don't have any money for food." Toboe said as he wiped his mouth, stepping up besides her.
A cool breeze swept past them sending chills down their spines.
"Jaguara must be coming." Katsume said, looking towards Cheza.
"How can you be sure?" Tsume asked earnestly, for once actually agreeing with her on some level.
"Because," Katsume started to say, looking at her fluttering fake wings from the corner of her eye as they slowed their violent shaking like the wind dieing down. "I can feel it. Perhaps sense it." She finished, blinking her tired eyes and letting them stay closed for a few more seconds then necessary.
"I'm going to go scope out the town for fast money. Don't leave without me." Katsume said, her voice becoming stern at her last words.
And with that she was off, looking back once or twice at the un moving group.
After about an half hour of silence, Tsume decided to speak up.
"She's pretty sure of herself. Of course, you all know the only real way to make money fast." Tsume spoke, making Kiba's eyes light up strangely as he understood what Tsume was talking about.
"Maybe we should go too and find some food. Rabbit day after day isn't much of a good taste." Hige told them, taking a few steps backwards as he stepped away from them, still facing everyone as he talked.
Kiba looked to Cheza.

"What do you want to do, Cheza?" he asked, watching her blood red eyes scan the horizon.
"This one will follow the guardian." She said lightly as she sprang upward from her seat on the lush green grass, and started to walk towards the town with everyone else following.

(Meanwhile with Katsume.)

Katsume had circled around the same area, hoping to find some way to make a little bit of money.
Then she saw it, a sign on the window of a bar that said, "Entertainment wanted. Good pay."
Katsume knew she wouldn't be staying around here long, but she thought she'd give it a try anyway.
When she stepped inside the dimly lighted and musky smelling bar she noticed a small stage with a microphone, and small tables filled with drinking men and some women.
"Tough crowd?" she asked the bartender as she sat on one of the spinning stools at the counter.
"I guess you could say that," The bartender replied, his dirty blonde mustache wiggling a bit as he talked. "what can I do for you?" he asked politely.
Katsume said nothing at first, but only held up the piece of paper that was sticking to the window.
"Oh, you want to try and entertain this crowd for some easy cash, I see." The bartender chuckled as he draped a dirtied towel over his shoulder.
Katsume nodded with a smile.
"I can't say when I'll be leaving though, but I really need the money. Can I give it a try?" She asked, the art form of pouting eyes doing it's work.
The bartender laughed again. He seemed friendly.
"Alright. Give it a try, but what are you exactly planning to do? And what's your name?"
"Sing. And my name is Katsume."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Rams and I'm sorry to say that we don't have any musical back round for your singing."
"That's alright. I'll give it a try anyway." Katsume told him as they shook hands.
Rams made a gesture towards the small stage.
Katsume slowly made her way to the stage, feeling something fluttery like her fake wings in the wind in her stomach, and wondered what exactly she should sing.

The crowd all turned to her and waited eagerly for their entertainment as Katsume was suddenly enveloped with words of something pretty from her memory.

Meanwhile, Kiba, Tsume, Cheza, Toboe, and Hige were walking past a few stores when Toboe stopped, perking up just a bit as if something sweet could sound sweet.
"Do you hear that?" He asked the others as they turned to look into a bar.
"Look! Katsume is in there!"
They huddled together in the door way, slowly making their presence un known as they shifted closer among the shadows.
Then something made Kiba stop in his tracks as he was filled with Katsume's voice once more.
He didn't know if it was the way she singed or the words she felt for in that verse, but what ever it was made him seep more into a small heaven of his own, a world where everything was perfect.

Katsume's song went like this.

"I'm not trying to find an angel, a fallen mystery.
This expression is uncertain, why can't you try to see?
This path leads to no where, but still I find you. In all this madness we've come through.
I'm following a voice that's chosen for me. A light in the dark that shines nothing."
Katsume stopped for a moment, taking in a breath as she spied Kiba standing in the shadows with the others behind the small filled tables.

"I'm not trying to find paradise, the flower is blooming for me." She finished, almost speaking the last words she somehow knew linked to something she didn't know or at least didn't understand.

The crowd of people started blankly at her for a few moments.
Then slowly, but soon becoming forcefully, everyone started to clap, shouting something like,
"She has the voice of an angel!" It made Katsume feel special.

"Are you going to share any of that?" Hige asked dreamy eyed as he stared at the large loaf of bread Katsume held proudly in her hands.
"Well, I earned the money I bought this with, but I guess it would only be fair to give everyone some." Katsume sighed, seeing as though she had no other way. Canine creatures were known to beg.

Later that day they all decided to head out again.
Starting slow then moving more fast pace, they soon came to a resting spot near nightfall.

No matter how far they ran away, Katsume could still feel that same cold chill running down her spine, reminding her that Jaguara was following.
