Well, here's chapter 2. i dont own Wolf's Rain, would kick some ass if i did. the only thing i probably own relating to it are my dvds of the 1st 10 episodes and the pages in my notebook with Toboe written all over them

Chapter 2: Sometimes Sorry Isn't Enough

When Toboe awoke, the sun was just beginning to rise. He was so cold. Tear marks were stained on his face, he must've cried in his sleep. The pup tried stand up, but he fell back down. He needed food; he was so weak, so small. Please, somebody help me… I'm so hungry.

Howls came again, this time more worried. Toboe thought he heard Tsume in the mix, but he quickly shook the name out of his head. Toboe was too weak to howl, to weak to do anything but lay there. Breathing became hard for the little one. Is this how I'm supposed to die? Toboe tried to inch his way out of the cave into the warmth of the sun, but he only made it to the entrance. He was so pale. Please, help me… I don't want to die here. The howls were heard again, but closer. Maybe the have my scent! Maybe I can finally get food.

Toboe saw two wolves come over a small hill, one was white. He couldn't make out the other wolf. At least he knew Kiba was going to help him. Toboe kept his eyes fixed on Kiba. The white wolf turned away from the cave, obviously not seeing it, and walked in another direction. No! Kiba! I'm in the cave! The pup began to cry again. No one was going to help him; he was going to die of hunger.

Toboe heard another wolf sniffing around the cave. The pup could not make out the scent of the wolf, so he became scared. What do I do?! That wolf could kill me if it finds me! Toboe tried to crawl back into the cave, trying to hide behind a rock. He couldn't, the other wolf had grabbed a hold of his leg and pulled him out. It was Tsume.

"C'mon kid, let's get you out of here," Tsume said. He bent down to pick the pup up.

"Get…away…from…me…," Toboe growled, still upset about what happened.

"Doesn't be stupid kid," Tsume replied, putting his arms under Toboe's body.

"LET GO!" Toboe snarled, then bit Tsume's arm. Tsume dropped Toboe on the ground. The kid let out a yelp of pain. Tears of pain found their way out of Toboe's eyes.

"God damnit," Tsume said, obviously getting pissed off. "Look, I'm really sorry about what happened. I didn't mean to hurt you like that Toboe. Let's just get you out of here first."

"Get…the…fuck…away…from…me," Toboe growled. The language the pup used startled Tsume.

"I don't want you to die out here Toboe," Tsume said.

"So you want me to die somewhere else?" Toboe asked.

"Fuck this," the older wolf growled. Tsume howled a message to Kiba and Hige, telling them where to find Toboe. "See ya, kid." With that said, Tsume walked out of the cave and back to the den.

"Did you hear that Kiba?" Hige asked.

"Hear what?" Kiba replied.

"I thought I heard Tsume say he found Toboe in a cave over in that direction."

Let's check it out, just in case if he is there," Kiba said. The two wolves ran off towards the cave Toboe was in. They did not know this yet, and Kiba's mind became troubled with thoughts. What if he is dead? What if he's hurt so bad he won't be able to survive anymore? Please be okay, Toboe.

The two came upon the cave. Toboe wasn't to be seen. Kiba sniffed the air, Toboe's blood from last night. He has to still be here, he has to be alive. Whimpering could be heard from behind a rock.

Toboe began to whimper from hunger. Oh god, I'm starving… I need some food. The pup heard foot steps in the cave. He had no where to hide from these wolves, if they weren't friends he would be dead. Around the corner of the rock they came, Toboe closed his eyes.

"Toboe!" screamed Kiba as he ran over to the pup, kneeling beside him. Hige joined Kiba next to the kid.

"We should get him out of here, he looks horrible," Hige said. Kiba nodded in agreement. The white wolf picked Toboe up in his arms. Toboe clung to Kiba's neck.

"Thank goodness you came," Toboe said, tears falling from his eyes, dampening Kiba's shirt.

"It's okay. Rest up pup, we'll get you some food back at the den," Kiba said with a smile.
