Disclaimer-I do not own Wolf's Rain, but I do own Moon, Adrian, his pack, and Aelianas Forest. Not that that's much to brag about.

A/N- I have no idea what to title this, so for now I am calling it Wolf. Yes, I know, it's not very creative, so I would love it if people would send me suggestions!

The young woman dropped her pack to the ground. She had walked for miles and she was exhausted. The large tree was twisted and shriveled, but it gave enough shade for her. The desert seemed to go on forever, and she didn't seemed to be any farther then she had been when she had started to walk that morning. She held her hands up and stretched. She pulled off her hat and her hair tumbled out of it. It was white, pure white. It was curly and reached to mid-thigh. Her silver eves looked around, watching for any signs of people coming. She didn't see anyone, so she gathered up her hair, bundled it back into her hat, dropped next to her bag and feel asleep instantly.

"Is she dead?"

"No. She's still breathing."

"She's kinda pretty."

"Just leave her. She shouldn't have been out here by herself in the first place."

"Oh, don't say that, Tsume."

"Yeah."

She could hear voices above her, but thought it was just a dream. One of the voices was soothing, although she didn't understand how, because it was deep and gruff, and held no compassion at all. She smiled slightly. 'I always fall for the bad ones. I wonder what he looks like…'

"Miss? Are you alright?" A hand shook her, and her eyes fluttered. 'I guess I'm not asleep. There're real people next to me. I feel like crying. A week without hearing one single voice, and now I hear four.' She sat up slowly and looked around. There were three guys around her. One had brown hair and a friendly face. He wore a large metal collar with an "H" engraved on it. Another was young, with auburn hair. He was with smiling at her. The third was kneeling next to her with a hand on her shoulder. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes. She frowned slightly. She thought she had heard another voice. She turned and he was next to her. She gasped a little, and couldn't help but stare. He was tall, and looked older then the other boys. He had silver hair and piercing amber eyes. He wore all black leather. He watched her stare at him with a bored expression on his face. Her breath caught. He was so handsome, and radiated attitude. 'Yeah, I always fall for the bad one…'

"Miss? Are you okay?" She turned to the guy next to her. He was really cute too. She nodded.

He looked relieved. The boy with the auburn hair knelt in front of her. He also had a relieved expression. It was sweet.

"We're glad you're okay. But what are you doing out all the way here? It's dangerous to be here alone."

She smiled at him. He sounded so much like her younger brother. Her good mood disappeared with that thought. Her brother… Her sweet, innocent, caring baby brother. 'Praen…' She turned her head, knowing the tears were forming and not willing for the strangers to see it.

"Miss? Are you okay?" The cute one. She nodded her head, still not looking up.

"Hey, what's your name?" asked the boy with a collar.

She opened her mouth to answer, then shut it back up. How could she have forgotten? She had no voice. He had taken it from her. She pointed to her throat, than shook her head. The others looked confused. She pointed back to her throat and shook her head again. They still didn't get it.

"She's mute. She can't talk." Silver, she had named him that because of his hair, didn't move, just stood there to the side. He had a beautiful voice. It reminded her of Adrian's.

Angel, the auburn one, looked at her with sympathy in his eyes. She didn't want to see it. She hated pity. Just because she couldn't talk didn't mean she was helpless.

"I'm so sorry. We didn't want to…offend you." She couldn't stay mad at him after hearing the genuine caring she heard in his voice. She smiled in forgiveness. She reached out and cupped his cheek. Silver started toward her, watching her every move. His cheek was so soft, so smooth. So real. So alive. She dropped her hand as is his skin had burned her. He watched her with wide eyes. Silver relaxed a fraction of a bit.

"So, where're ya headed?" asked Collar. She pointed west, toward the Aelianas Forest, where she hoped to meet Adrian.

"What's over that way? Isn't it just the Barren Woods?"

She nodded, Yes, Barren Woods. That's what the humans called it. Hopefully she could meet Adrian there, and they could look for Adrian's pack there, together.

"But there's nothing there. People go in there and never come out."

She shrugged and just pointed there again. She had to go there.

"What's your name?" Silver asked abruptly. She turned toward him, frowning. He knew she couldn't answer that, why was he even asking?

He pointed to the dirt by her feet. "Write it out. You can write?" he asked it in a condescending tone. She glared at him and wrote her name out in the dirt.

"Moon."

"Moon? That's… different." Cutie smiled slightly at her.

"I think it's nice," added Angel, smiling. Collar nodded. She looked over at Silver. She lifted an eyebrow. Her air definitely said, "See? I'm mute, not stupid." He didn't say anything.

Then Angel jumped. "Oh, you don't know our names! My name is Toboe. This is Kiba and Hige, and that's Tsume."

Tsume. Moon stared at him. She knew she was staring but didn't care. It suited him. Tsume. Yeah, she was falling hard. And he hadn't said anything to her. She didn't even know anything about him, except for his name and that he had a definite attitude.

"What?" he growled at her, eyes narrowing. Moon just smiled and turned back to the others. Then she noticed the darkening sky. The sun was finally going down, and it looked beautiful. The sky was turning red and orange and yellow. It looked like the sky was on fire, and she wouldn't have been surprised if it had started to smolder and burn.

Cutie, no Kiba, noticed her watching the sky. "Yeah, it's almost dark. You're welcome to stay with us for awhile."

Moon smiled in thanks, then stood up. The world spun and she started to fall. The world started to fade to black. 'I'm fainting. For the first time in my life, I'm fainting. Well, at least I'm surrounded by cute guys. One of them is bound to catch me.'

And one of them did. She felt strong arms close around her, then she drifted away.
