Chapter 4
Fighting Memories
In the Morning, Kiba and Hige had breakfast at his home before Kiba left. "Be sure to visit." Hige called. "I will!" Kiba called back as he walked off. Now he had some money from Hige in his pack.
Kiba walked down the road, looking for Tsume. He was actually sniffing, but that might look strange. He followed to scent to near the alley where they met. He spotted Tsume's bike and went down the alley. He spotted Tsume standing where he'd been when Kiba had walked out in human form. Tsume looked up to where Kiba had jumped to and back down. "You shouldn't just stand there. People might think you're a stalker." He said to Kiba.
Kiba did one nod. Tsume walked off and Kiba followed. They walked the same pace like they'd done this for years. Kiba had, Tsume hadn't. They walked out of the alley and Tsume got on his bike. Kiba just stood there looking at him. Tsume side glanced at him as he revved the bike once. He groaned.
"If you're getting on, get on." He threw Kiba a helmet which he placed on his head and hopped on. He'd never ridden one but he'd get the hang of it. His helmet secure, he sat up straight and gave Tsume a thumbs up. The bike raced off and amazingly, Kiba held on fine.
Kiba followed Tsume around all day while he checked up on his business with the 'underground'. When Tsume finally got home it wasn't fancy. "We're here. Get off the bike. Kiba took off the helmet and shook his head. His hair went back to normal. "Wow. No helmet hair." Tsume commented.
The building was like Toboe's except shabbier. The hotel rooms inside were in okay condition. Running water and Tsume's house had electricity. Tsume went inside and Kiba looked at it for a moment before following. "Hmm... I guess people don't change much.."
"So Kiba." Tsume spat. "Why are you here?" "You can say you don't have questions... But I know you better." Kiba said, sitting down. Tsume scoffed and threw him a soda. "I don't have a lot of food here. Don't expect me to feed you!" "I don't." Tsume really didn't like this guy.
When Kiba finished his soda, he tossed it into Tsume's trash can across the room. "Weirdo Kid. Knows me... pfft." Kiba laughed to himself. He actually missed Tsume's bad attitude. "Kid.. you really bug me." "I know." "And why do you have to act like you know everything." "I don't." "And Don't answer so calmly! Don't you ever get mad?!" "Yes." "Your still doing it!" Kiba stared straight into Tsume's eyes. They glared at each other. Something snapped and Tsume relaxed. "Whatever. Your not staying over. You can let yourself out." "Alright." Kiba stopped at the door. Tsume had never done something like that before. But he shrugged it off and left.
Kiba stayed outside the night, sitting in a alley half way between all of their houses. Tsume sat on his couch, deeply troubled. What was that? That suddenly feeling when he'd snapped.
"Wha?" In his thinking, memories popped up. He saw some man standing on a cliff. His eyes were different. He was talking about a maiden. Then he switched to a wolf like creature.
Tsume saw an explosion and then him and everyone rushed over to see what had happened. A red wolf and an old man lay there. 'Toboe!' A voice came from the side. It was his voice. His head had turned and there he was. Himself. Tsume himself was running up to the boy. That was Toboe? Sadness was covering him, and an eagerness to kill someone... a certain someone.. who? 'Darcia...' his mouth said. That's who he wanted to get rid off. 'Tsume... he's..' His perspective changed. Now he was next to the animal and was talking to him with his own voice.
He told him how stupid he was. The sadness he could feel now was overwhelming. As he talked to the boy, he saw a few secondary memories of that boy changing from the wolf he saw to the boy Toboe. He told the kid goodbye and left. Then he switched back to the other person's perspective.
A young woman and Hige were on the ground. 'Hige!' the voice called. 'Kiba.. hurry. Go... Go get Darcia and Cheza.' Hige said. 'Hige.' but in the end, he left. So he was Kiba... Kiba watched Toboe die and Hige and the girl? He was back in his perspective.
'Hige! What happened?' 'Tsume. Hey.' The boy asked him to kill him. The surprise, anger, and sadness was building in him. He was alive. I killed him? Hige lay in front of him as a wolf, dead. The girl had already become a wolf. But he had no time to think about it because he was switching again.
Kiba. He was Kiba. Fighting the man from earlier. He could spot white paws helping him run. That man was a wolf now.. He looked insane. Which he probably was. Kiba saw Tsume jumped from nowhere. When Tsume saw the black wolf jump in he was confused. 'Tsume!' That was him? He watched as he himself started bleeding badly. A girl went off and jumped off a cliff. 'Cheza!' But then he looked back at himself. 'Tsume!' He ran towards himself as the insane man ran off after the girl. 'Kiba. Go. I'll catch up.' 'But.' 'GO ALREADY!'
It was his perspective again. He saw his hand covered in blood. He saw the snow covered in blood and his vision blurred. He felt angry at himself for not lasting longer. And then he...
Kiba's perspective and Kiba closed his eyes. 'Tsume.' he said in his head like he was about to cry. He jumped into a hole. Then the fight with Darcia and Darcia dying. He saw Kiba in Cheza's arms and Cheza dying and then Kiba limping over to water and then fields and fields of flowers. Then the world he knew was there.

I went over the memories fast and briefly so if I seemed to straight forward it's because I didn't want to get anything too wrong. I've only seen the episodes once at the end so I didn't know all the details. Thought short and simple was better than long and wrong. Thank You. R&R. and in case you were wondering.. everyone can review. I allow all reviews.
