Sorry this took a while guys.....didn't see if anyone had read it.and you did...you few and proud...T-T..makes me feel all warm and happy inside....anyways....next chapter!!
"Kiba!" Hige tried to keep up, but his leader was just to fast for him. "KIBA STOP!!"
Aburptly, he finally heard his friends howls and slide to a halt. He looked back behind them and cursed loudly, kicking the tree near by.
Sighing, he slid down it and burried his head in his paws.
"Kiba.....why did we run....we have never......given up a fight before....." He couldn't breathe. He also couldn't remember the last time he had run so fast. Sitting he pondered why they had gotten away without waiting for the others.
"I trust Tsume....he sensed something was different about these Nobles, and we are so close to Paradise now.....we can't have them of all people find it. We'll go back when I feel it is safe....they may not find them, they might.....but I wish not to think like that."
"So we just leave them?....KIBA! We can't!....What if something happens to them....what if those bastards..."
"Don't talk like that Hige!" Kiba growled at him for the first time in a long while. Hige sensed he had hit a nerve and backed down. He knew it killed Kiba to leave the others behind like that, but he had done it for good reason. He just hoped that what they returned to was their pack mates in one piece.....
Tsume held Toboe close to him, protecting him as the tanks and cars rumbled overhead. Perhaps they were just passing through and wouldn't stop.
They might not even know how close they had come to finding two of the four wolves they had hunted for so long. He wasn't going to chance that. He needed to get Toboe to safety and have him cared for....but how?
"Toboe.....can you hear me...?" They young pup was sweaty and shaky from exhaustion but nodded that he was trying to listen to the older wolves words. "We need to get out of here and find Kiba and Hige....can you walk?"
"........I don't know......" His voice was soft and trailing. It was not a good sign. There was no way he could jump out if the Nobles were right over head.
But what choice did he have...? If they were a new group of travelers, they may not yet recognize them in their human forms...in fact they may try to help them. But was it really worth taking that chance?
"I'll think of something......." Sighing, he leaned back against the wall and tried to plan an escape. And he might have too, had small masses of earth started to fall on his head. The hole was caving in due to the pressure over head. He didn't have any other options.....he need to jump. Scooping Toboe,
he helped him into a craddled postion.
"Hang on tight pup....." With great strength, he lept up from the hole, into his worst fear. Coming up, he soon saw the Nobles had made camp, and were quite shocked to see him and Toboe come popping out of the ground. Grabbing for guns and such they began fire on the two. Tsume, dashed away, but soon learned the area had been blocked off to make their camp.....they were trapped. Looking in all directions, he soon thought to use the trees as a last chance escape route.
Suddenly, a gun fired, pain surged through his hind leg. Wincing he got to one knee and held Toboe close.
"....what's...going on....?"
"I won't let them hurt you Toboe....I'll think of someth...." The handle of the gun came down on the back of his head, and soon his world became dark.
Toboe fell to the ground wincing, trying to make sense of the situation infront of him. He couldn't move...it hurt to much to move. Turning his head,
he say Tsume, blood trickling down his neck, out like a light. Gasping he looked up to see the men standing over him. They looked down at him, some with confussion, others almost shocked.
"What did that guy do to you boy?" One of the men whispered a he petted the pup's head. Toboe whimpered and tried to moved away but to no avail.
"Should we shoot it sir?....It would seem like the right thing to do rather then let it suffer like this...."
"No.....his wounds are healable....besides....I think I have plans for this pup...." He smiled warmly at Toboe, who was starting to pass out from the pain he so desperatly was trying to fight off.
"What about the man?" Both men looked at Tsume how wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.
"His leg is busted....that's my fault......maybe we can use him in the kitchens or something.....just keep him locked up for now. Put a collar on him" Picking up Toboe he moved back to his jeep. "I'm taking this little guy home to be treated. I'll be back by the morning. Move on ahead a bit......don't loose those damn wolves now."
The man saluted as his commander moved out, taking Toboe with him. Tsume was taken on board the larger holding vessel and soon, the troops moved out.
Kiba and Hige returned not long after and peered around, looking for any signs their friends had escaped. Soon, Hige's nose picked up something and the two gazed down upon the sight of blood. Hige got to his knees sniffing and sat up shocked.
"This is Tsume's blood.....and over there...I can smell Toboe....but the smell of some.....Noble! I can't make out where they went....they must have been carried away."
Kiba looked around, trying to sense where they may have headed, soon seeing faint tire marks in the grass near by. Quickly, he took off with out a word, once again leaving Hige to trail behind clueless.
'Don't worry guys.....I'll find you....'
Tsume awoke sometime later, his world spinning a bit. He laid on the cot in his cell looking up at the bunk above and soon remembering everything. Growling, he got to his feet, but didn't stay up long. Pain surged though his calf and he had to take a seat. He looked at the wound on his leg and gently began to lick it. It was then, however, that he noticed the collar around his neck. Pissed off, he tried to remove it, soon recieving a shock.
"Wouldn't touch that if I were you," came a voice in the bunk from above. Leaning over, was an older man, missing some teeth in his grin andalso wore one of the shocking collars. "You try to play with that to much and you may end up electrocuting yourself." He laughed and leaned back up into his own bunk.
"I have to get out of here.....my friend.....he was taken by them...."
"You're not going anywhere with that thing on......what's your name boy?"
"Tsume........why?"
"Odd name.....but what do I know,heh?" He laughed and leaned back over. "The names Diaske.....and if you want out of here....you'll need me."
At this he smiled with that toothless grin.
Toboe woke up in a comfy bed on the floor, his side wrapped and aching. He tried to stand, but the pain came rushing back to him and soon, he was whimpering on his side. Just then, a warm hand came and patted his face gently. It belonged to that of a young girl. She smiled at him as he once more fell asleep.
"Don't worry puppy....you're safe now...." She smiled and continued to pet his head.
Toboe couldn't resist....not now anyways. Slowly, exhaustion took him. He would have to deal with this new situation for now. But one question plauged him:
Was Tsume still alive?
