I usually write a new chapter everyday but this weekend I got really sick so I didn't have a chance to update my story. You guys had a couple of questions so here are a couple of answers. The story behind Pops, Blue, and, Toboe is kind of weird. A couple of months ago Pops ran into Toboe. At the time Toboe didn't have a family and was unable to take care of himself. Pops took him in as a favor to an old friend when she had died (Toboe's grandma.) Blue is obviously Pops daughter you could say. He raised her since she was small of course were talking about human wise. As for the comment about Tsume and Kiba, we must remember that Tsume is older and more experienced then Kiba. But you also have to understand that the fact that Kiba had a chance or even compared to Tsume fascinated him. Why would Tsume get rid of the only competition he had so quickly? Besides Tsume would have become bored if it was that easy. We all know Tsume likes a challenge and Kiba never fails to deliver. Hope that's enough answers if you have anymore I'll gladly answer.

Cheza walked into the dark empty house alone like always. She looked around quickly from the door and hit the light switch. She inhaled softly and removed her shoes; she then placed her slippers on and walked toward the kitchen holding her books. She walked into the plan white, empty kitchen and set her books on the table. Walking over to the refrigerator she pulled out a bottle of water and took a quick sip. She then turned again and looked around as if wanting something but changed her mind. She walked over to the counter and grabbed her books and headed toward her room. As she stepped in she turned her light switch on and looked around at her simple plain room. Everything in it's place like always and that's what bothered her everything was exactly the same. Her mom not home, her being alone, her room the same empty and plain like Cheza felt. She placed her books on the desk and head into her bathroom. After a couple of minutes and a turn of the knob Cheza stood under her shower as hot water came from the shower head. She let the water run down her body as she stood there her eyes closed and still. The water weighed down her hair and steam floated away from her body as the air got thicker. She stepped out of the bathroom she quickly got dressed into regular plan white pajamas and stepped out of the bathroom. She looked at her bed that looked so comfortable and flung herself on it. She felt something underneath her and she pulled out a soft white fluffy object. As she was about to turn it around so she was looking in its eyes the doorbell rang. Followed by a familiar voice.

"Hey Cheza."

Cheza got up of the bed and made her way into the hallway and headed downstairs. Her eyes quickly shifted to the door it was Maria.

"Hey Maria." Cheza said smiling.

"Go get dressed we're going out." Maria said.

Cheza stared at Maria and began to examine her cloths. Maria was wearing a short dark blue jumper dress with a white blouse under. She wore white socks that reached just under her knee with dark blue schoolgirl shoes. On her back she had a mini bag that was a cat face. Her brown hair was loose like always but you could still see the white and dark blue hoop earrings she had.

"You look nice, where you going?" Cheza asked.

"You mean where are we going." Maria said smiling.

"We?" Cheza said uncertain.

"Yes" Maria said.

"Just us two?" Cheza asked.

"Nope I'm about to call Hige and see if he wants to come. Now go get dressed." Maria said demandingly.

Maria ran into the kitchen and grabbed the phone. The other voice on the phone seemed exited to hear Maria's voice. They exchanged quick introductions and Maria got straight to the point. Hige of course agreed and offered to invite a "friend" with him and of course Maria knew who it was. After they hung up Maria came running and was abruptly stopped by a figure on the steps. It was Cheza.

"Why aren't you dressed?" Maria asked confused.

"I don't think I want to go out today." Cheza said in another unsure voice.

"What? Come on it beats staying here by yourself." Maria implored.

"Yeh, but still I think I would prefer to be alone." Cheza said wanting Maria not to worry.

"Now young lady you cut that out right now. You're coming with us and that's that." Maria in a motherly voice and stomped her foot at the same time.

Cheza began to laugh at her friends acting that really did sound just like her mother.

"Besides, Hige is bringing a friend." Maria interrupted her laughter.

"Friend? Who?" Cheza asked wonderingly.

"Who do think? Obviously it's Kiba." Maria said with a wink.

"Kiba?" Cheza said surprised.

"Please Cheza I know you were hoping it was him when I told you Hige was bringing a friend." Maria laughed making Cheza's face turn into a bright red.

Maria laughed harder as she grabbed Cheza by the arm and run up into her room.

Maria stopped at the mirror and looked at her work.

"I hate you Cheza." Maria said in a pout.

"Huh? Why?" Cheza asked turning away from the mirror to look at her.

"You look great and you didn't even need any make up." Maria said crossing her arms over her chest. Cheza turned red and began to laugh again. She tuned to look at herself in the mirror. Her pink rain boots were first she had remembered Hige had gave them to her on her birthday. She wore a matching pink mini skirt, which of course Maria and Toko had gotten her. White stocking and a white off the shoulder shirt complimented the look. Maria looked at Cheza's hair and smiled she left it the way it's always it except this time she added a small Hello kitty crystal beaded clip to the side of her hair. Maria grabbed Cheza arm and placed the matching bracelet on her wrist, which finally finished her.

"Perfect." Maria said. "But now we have to go I told them we would meet them at the park.

As they stepped out of the room and out the front door Cheza felt that the skirt was too revealing but Maria assured her that she looked great. As they walked toward the park they noticed crowds of people walking here and there. Some stood posed as a local artist captured them in his portraits. Others listened to the musicians play as they walked by and dropped change into guitar cases and hats. Others just sat and watched the view. That's when they noticed Hige sitting on the bench alone.

"Hey Hige." Maria called over as Cheza stood shyly behind her.

"Hey guys." He said walking over. He was wearing regular blue jeans with a plan white shirt and a matching blue jean jacket on. Maria smiled as he walked over to them.

"So where's your friend." Maria said her eyes wondering around.

"He's coming I let him no last minute but he'll be here soon." Hige said.

"You look nice." Maria said winking at him.

Hige began to blush. "You guys look really nice especially you Cheza, I've never seen you dressed like that so I'm assuming Maria dressed you tonight." Hige smiled over at Cheza.

"Thank you Hige." Cheza said turning red herself.

Maria smiled due to the fact that people already know her work. Hige looked around and saw a figure walking toward them. As the figure approached they noticed his faded blue jeans with a white plan shirt on and a khaki jacket over it.

"Hey, sorry I'm late." Kiba stated as he reached them.

"It's ok it was worth the wait." Maria said smiling. "Well anyway me and Hige are going to go find a place for us to see the fire works. Why don't you two check out the place?" Maria said grabbing Hige by the arm and walking into the crowd.

Cheza and Kiba stood there for a minute processing what just happened until Kiba voice broke.

"You look nice." Kiba stated looking over at her.

"Yeh you look good yourself." Cheza said making them both blush.

Kiba looked himself over and smiled to himself.

"Come on let's go look around." Cheza said before she grabbed Kiba by the arm and headed toward the crowd.

At first they just walked around looking at artist and there work, listening to the music and laughter all around them when Cheza finally stopped. Kiba turned to see what she was looking at. It was a painting of beautiful white snow falling on the untouched ground of pure piled up snow as a white wolf ran across the white plan. Her eyes would not move away she was in a trance. Kiba looked at the painting and also became drawn in not wanting to move.

"Hey guys, come on we got seats." Hige yelled to them.

Kiba and Cheza's head snapped toward their direction and smiled.
"Ok." Cheza said as she began to walk toward them. Cheza noticed Kiba had not moved.

"Kiba?" Cheza questioned.

Kibe looked over at her and smiled. "Go ahead I'll be right there."

She smiled and turned away and headed toward the other two. Cheza sat down on the bench, which had a clear view of the sky. The fire works began the loud sudden burst made Cheza jump up. Her friends sat next to her looking in amazement at the sky as the different colors burst making new ones. Shapes of hearts and circle of colors covered the sky as she looked on wonderingly. She quickly looked to the side as she felt a presence sit down next to her.

"Kiba, what were you doing?" She asked still starring at him.

"Umm..." Kiba tried to begin. He couldn't find words and handed her a medium box with a pink lace on it.

Cheza took it in her hand and began to turn colors. "You –you didn't have to." Cheza stated surprised.

"I thought it would be nice." Kiba said feelings his cheeks turn red.

"Thank you." She stated and before she knew it she had placed a kiss on Kiba's cheeks causing them to turn brighter than they already were.

Cheza turned and looked up at the sky getting lost in the colors and in her mind. "I can't believe I just did that. What was I thinking?" Cheza said to herself.

Kiba sat confused next Cheza not knowing what to do or say so instead he just sat there and looked up at the lighted sky until it was over.

"That was fun." Maria stated smiling at Cheza.

"Yeh it was." Cheza agreed.

"Well, we have to go." Maria stated grabbing Cheza by the arm.

"Why?" Higa asked wanting to follow.

"We have school tomorrow remember Hige." Cheza said smiling.

"Oh yeh, but is school that important?" Hige asked.

Cheza and Maria laughed at his remark.

"Thank you Kiba." Cheza said with a hint of pink in her cheeks. She quickly turned around and ran after Maria who was waving to the two boys while she walked away.

Kiba smiled and dragged Hige away by his sweater who complained bitterly about the invention of school.

As Cheza walked through the door she turned on the light and ran upstairs to her bedroom. She walked in through he door kicking off her boots and headed over to the bed with the box Kiba had given her. As she undid the ribbon and placed it beside her and lifted up the lid to the box. The object inside was covered with pick colored tissue paper, which made her smile. As she pulled them out and laid them beside her she looked down. It was the painting. The white beautiful wolf that ran across the snow-covered plains as the snow fell from the colorless sky. "How did he? Why?" she thought to her self. She smiled and stared at he painting before deciding where to place it. She decided above her side table would be perfect. Now she could look at the wolf whenever she wanted. As she placed it on the wall she looked at the white wolf and noticed his eyes. They were blue, ice blue. She walked over to her bed and tossed herself on it as her white wolf tumble off her pillow and near her face. She picked it up and looked into the blue eyes that haunted her. "Your eyes followed me today, in school and at the park. I knew they were familiar the cold blue stare. You have his eyes." She said as she hugged the stuffed animal lightly. Her eyes became heavy and she began to disappear into her world, which she only had four hours left, seeing as she had to get up at seven for school.

So did you guys enjoy? Hope so it's my fav so far. Be on the look out for the next chapter. Sorry there were no other characters involved other than Cheza, Maria, Hige, and Kiba. But in the next chapter I'll add a little of everyone.
