Chapter 3: The Pain Never Goes Away

When Kiba, with Toboe in his arms, and Hige arrived back at the den the saw Tsume sitting in the back. He seemed to not care that they came back with Toboe. Kiba set Toboe softly on the make shift bed made out of grass. Hige sat down against the wall opposite of Tsume. Kiba stayed by Toboe.

"Why didn't you take him back here when you found him?" Kiba asked.

"The stupid kid wouldn't let me," Tsume answered and showed them his arm.

"I'm gonna go get some food for Toboe," Kiba said. "Howl if he gets worse."

"Whatever," Tsume replied. Kiba gave a low growl, and left. Toboe began to whimper. Hige went over to the pup.

"He doesn't look so good. What did you do to him?" Hige asked.

"That's for me and him to know," Tsume replied coldly. Hige shrugged.

---An Hour Later---

"Where's Kiba at?" Hige asked. Toboe was still whimpering. Hige placed his hand on the pup's bare chest. "He's so cold. Do you have anything we could used to warm him up?"

"Nope, sorry," Tsume replied, closing his eyes.

"I'm gonna see what's taking Kiba so long," Hige said as he walked out of the den. He let out a long howl. Where are you Kiba? No reply. Another howl. This time there was an answer. Kiba was close to the den, he was just in Hige's vision.

"Sorry I took so long," Kiba said when he arrived at the den. Kiba had caught a deer; it was slung over his back. "How's Toboe doing?"

"About the same, he is really cold," Hige answered. Kiba let the deer slide to the ground and ran into the den. Hige picked up the deer and followed.

"Tsume, why didn't you do anything to warm him up?" Kiba asked in a growl as he placed his jacked on Toboe's bare chest. Toboe winced a little.

"You think he would have let me near him?" Tsume growled back.

"C'mon you two," Hige interrupted, "stop this. We need to help Toboe eat this thing anyway"

"Yeah," Kiba said, glaring at Tsume. He took the deer from Hige, walked over to Toboe. He bit pieces of meat off, and fed them to Toboe. The pup had a hard chewing and swallowing the meat. He was so weak.

"Kiba…th-thank you…," Toboe said.

"Shh Toboe. Just focus on eating," Kiba said and gave Toboe another piece of meat. "Just rest."
