A/N: Thank you all for the wonderful reviews ::sniffle:: I'm just so...so...happy! ::cries:: J/K. Anyway, I was just wondering...who do you guys think is better? Tsume or Kiba? My friend says that it's Kiba but I say it's Tsume. Well, she like Toboe best but this is between Kiba and Tsume, dammit, and I want to know what you guys think! X) Just wondered. Anyway, enough with my babbling, onto the part you actually read, the chapter/story/thing that takes up time so you don't have to go and clean your room.

"Home on the range, where the wolves and the buffalo play," Hige sang off key softly as he laid in his bed.

Everyone there was so tired that they just flopped down in their beds. Tsume had taken an extra blanket from the closet and set it down between Hige's and Toboe's bed. He didn't want to share a bed with Toboe since he would kick and talk in his sleep, which was very uncomfortable to deal with.

"Your singing is horrid," Tsume advised his friend. "And it's 'deer', not wolves."

"Same difference."

"I say there is a big difference."

"Go to sleep!" shouted Kiba angrily, turning onto his side to look at them all.

"Mmm...bannanaaaaa..." Mumbled Toboe in his sleep, turning onto his stomach so he could be more comfortable. All of them looked at the pup with a eyebrow raised.

"Hey? Toboe is sleeping...right?" questioned Hige, sitting up with a devious smirk.

Tsume said without even taking a look at Hige "Whatever you are going to do to him, don't. He needs his sleep chubby."

"Do not call me chubby!"

"What? You want me to call you fatso' now?" teased the elder wolf.

"I am seriously going to go wolf and chew your neck off!" threatened Hige, pointing a finger at Tsume whom was still laid out on the floor.

Tsume continued on with his taunting "Oh, I am just so scared. What ever am I going to do? I would be able to dodge you anyway with as slow as you are, I mean, your to big to run as fast as me-"

"Rrrr..." growled Hige.

"Not to mention that you are not as half as smart-"

"Rrrrr...."

"Hell, I'm the smartest one here!"

"That's it! Die, you insignificant worm!" Shouted Hige, throwing his pillow on Tsume's face. Rather hard. "Ha! I got you! Nyah!" XD

"You little ::bleep:: ::bleep:: ::bleep:: ::b-bleep:: ::bleep:: ::b- bleep:: ::bleep:: ::bleep::!!" Tsume shouted, sitting up, letting the pillow fall to his lap.

Hige gave flopped smile. "Wow. You just made a symphony of bleeps."

"Soon enough I'll make a symphony of cracks! With your bones," Tsume threatened, curling up in a wolf form to go to sleep. "Right after a quick nap. Don't go anywhere, Hige, we have a duel date tonight."

"You scare me, Tsume, you really do scare me."

"I'm hungry," Toboe said out of the blue, trying to wake the others up. Seeing they weren't moving he said louder "I'm hungry!"

Everyone rolled to see him from where they were sleeping, to see Toboe sitting up, his stomach growling ferociously. The others were now cranky. Seriously cranky. They hadn't wanted to wake up just because the pup didn't like the dark, which he didn't. It was around one and he was still hungry. The three older ones really didn't want to do anything about this problem; but Toboe wouldn't shutup unless they did.

The three elder ones all grumbled swear words under their breath as they sat up. All of them were still dazed from sleep. And all of them had been sleeping in their cute little wolf forms!

Everyone's reaction

Everyone: SO CUTE!!!! Can we keep them?

Me: ;; Erm...they're not available?

Everyone: Why not?

Me: CUZ THEY'RE MINE!!! MWAHAHHAHAHAHA!!! ::runs away carrying the four guys in her arms while singing 'High Way to Hell'::

Everyone: COME BACK HERE!!! ::chases her::

Everyone's reaction is over

"I don't like the dark," Toboe said, looking at the pitch black hallway.

"We walk in the dark all the time," Hige pointed out.

Toboe's eyebrows frowned a bit. "Doesn't mean that I like it! Come on, you guys! Aren't you hungry too? I mean, we haven't eaten anything."

"It's Hige's turn to try and make something," Kiba suggested.

"Me!? Why?" His eyes grew big as everyone nodded.

"Actually, Kiba, correction. It's Hige's turn to try and then mess up," Tsume corrected with a smirk. "If I can't make anything than you guys can't either. And I'll be damned if Toboe goes anywhere near the kitchen again."

"Come on you guys! There could be ghosts down there!" whined the pup.

Kiba asked, trying to point out some logic so he could go back to sleep, "Ghosts of what?"

"D-dead people!"

"Or those chickens we found the bones of," Hige added.

"Eeeek!" screeched Toboe, immediately clinging to Tsume's arm.

"Don't scare him any further, chubby, he'll have a nervous break down," the topless (you asked for it, I gave it ;D) Tsume asked, trying to pry the pup off of his arm. "Your cutting my circulation! We'll all go down there with you! Okay? Now quit your whining and let's get our asses down there!"

Hige said, waving his finger in the air "Tsk, tsk, tsk Tsume. You really shouldn't use such language in front of children."

"The only child I see here is you," he snapped back.

"Hey! I'm three years old in wolf years!"

"You have the mind of a three month old!"

"Oh, yeah?! You wanna' bet?!"

Suddenly, there was a small crash downstairs. All of them froze where they sat and Toboe was so shaken that he broke the clinging to Tsume.

"What...was that?" Kiba asked.

"It's the chickens! They're going to get us! They're going to peck out our eyes!" screeched Hige, jumping up.

"Nooo! I want to keep my eye sight! I wanna' live! Don't let me die at the wings of chickens!" cried Toboe.

"Would you all stop with your whining!? If you forgot we are WOLVES!!! And we can fight chickens! You stupid little pups!" Tsume insulted.

Sniffling, the youngest pup asked "Will you protect me, right Tsume?"

"...go away..." he snarled.

IIIII

Armed with nothing the four had formed a line. Since they all told Kiba he was the leader, he was first, then Hige because Tsume had to be third so Toboe could hug his waist (A/N: This was meant to be yaoi but yaoi fans can think of it that way) since he was deathly scared. For no apparent reason. Hige put his hands on Kiba's shoulders, Tsume did the same to Hige. Kiba sighed. Great. Now they had formed a train. What were they?! Ten!?

Silence filled the house. There were rattling of pans downstairs with a light. Someone was down there that had put on the light. It had to be a person.

But, in Toboe and Hige's minds they thought that it was a monster at first. They started freaking, on the inside, as they took baby steps. None of them wanted to see what it was to tell the truth. Not even Tsume or Kiba. It was still pitch black even with the very small amount of light shining.

"What if it's a ghost?" hissed Toboe.

"Ghosts aren't even made of anything. They couldn't turn on a light; their hand would go right through it," answered Kiba with his logic. Which was true.

"What if it's a ghost that is just like a human but isn't one?"

"Toboe, be quiet!" growled Tsume.

Holding onto Tsume's waist tighter, Kiba looked down the stairs while the others were turned to the right around the corner. The leader gulped. He wasn't sure what it could be but he was ready to face whatever it was! He was the leader! He was brave! He could do anything! He did not want to do this! He really, really, really did not want to do this!

Without warning, the leader took a step. Hige, whom had been holding onto his shoulders with a death grip, hadn't been expecting him to move. Hige hadn't even wanted to move. He tumbled down the stairs along with Kiba. When they reached the bottom the seemingly Earth shaking crash put Tsume off of his balance. Already with Toboe leaning so closely the elder wolf was also made to lean forward. So, those two came tumbling down as well.

The four were toppled on top eachother like four yummy pancakes that you drool over. Atleast they were in the hallway and were able to see in the kitchen. Though, they weren't trying to see what was in the kitchen, they were to busy complaining about who's fault it was.

"It was your fault!" Hige said, rolling off of Kiba, making Tsume crunch down on him.

Toboe, who was sitting on Tsume's back, jumped off. "Sorry about that, Tsume. Are you okay?"

"Does it look like I'm okay?! Damn it all!" he shouted angrily as he got up. He looked down at Kiba who was moaning in pain. "Get up you wuss. You're fine. It's not like someone tore your limbs off."

"With you elephants sitting on me I wouldn't doubt that my back would be crushed," Kiba snarled. He sat up then added "If not more."

"Correction. Hige is more like a giraffe, I would be a tiger, and then Toboe..." Tsume looked at his young friend "Is a bird."

"Yes, I agree about that with Toboe," nodded Hige.

"I'm not that light!" argued the small one.

"Wanna' bet?" Tsume asked with a devious smile.

He murmured "I don't think I do."

"Oh well," Hige said as he went over to stand next to Toboe. He griped his arms around Toboe's waist and held him in the air. "I told you that you were light, runt."

"Hiiggggeeeeee!" whined Toboe, kicking his legs. "Put me down!"

"I bet I could throw you across the room."

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Depends on if Tsume or Hige will kick my ass or not."

Suddenly, a spoon turned projectile hit Hige in the head, making him drop Toboe. Hige rubbed the side of his head though it didn't hurt all that much. Since his hair did reflect a whole lot of things since it's so bushy.

"Leave him alone," said a feminine voice.

All of them looked to the left and there stood Blue in human form.

"Blue?!" all of them yelled in unison.

"Umm...yeah," she replied, putting her hands on her hips. "If you do throw Toboe I will kick your ass. He might bang into something and wreck Pop's old cabin."

"Oh, thanks for your concern," Toboe said in monotone.

"Not that I'm not worried about you. I'm just saying..." she whispered, looking at them all in a glare. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"What luck! There's a girl here! No more stinky guys!" Hige cheered, jumping in the air.

"You were the one who wouldn't take a shower," Kiba ruined his moment. Hige stopped jumping as soon as Blue made one of those 'Eeeewwwwwww' faces. "This is your owners cabin? That's why your here?"

Blue nodded. "Yeah."

"We can share beds!" offered Hige.

"I'd rather eat a rotted hamster."

"Oh! What luck. We have one outside."

"..."

Hige sweatdropped. "Well, we doooo...."

"ANYWAY, what are you guys doing here? This isn't your place!" Blue snapped at them all.

"This is a, well, no, it's not a free country. But still. We should be able to roam wherever we want!" Tsume snapped right back.

From there on, it was like a snapping war.

IIIII

"I am not sleeping in your bed, Hige," Blue told him for the tenth time that night. They were all about to go to bed and since this was the only room with beds... "And that's that. I'm sharing a bed with someone I know that hates me. That would most certainly be Tsume."

"I am not sharing a bed with you!" argued Tsume as he slipped under his covers. "How about Toboe? I'm sure the pup needs a mother figure or something like that."

"We don't need any Toboe and Blue babies," commented Hige when he went under his covers. "Besides, Toboe is sleeping in Kiba's bed. There are only three beds Tsume. So...it's either you or me. I prefer me. Cause I know how to treat a lady right. Your most likely to become one of those guys that take power over their women or something like that...."

Tsume asked in a deep tone "How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Well, any guy that wears leather has to be in some gang or something. You were in a robbing gang. Oh! What an example you set!"

"I will rip you to shreds if you do not shutup now."

The other wolf shut up.

"I'll sleep on the floor then. It's not like a wolf can't sleep on the floor," Blue rolled her eyes at the guys foolishness.

"Oh! Oh! I'll sleep next to you!" Hige volunteered.

The white haired wolf rolled his eyes. "Oh, you do treat women right, don't you chubby? I don't think that wins any lady over unless you're in the red light district." (1)

"What is the red light district?" asked Toboe curiously.

All was silent. You could even hear the crickets chip in the backround. Toboe looked around at the others, curiosity burning in his eyes. The pup didn't understand why no one would answer his question. Mostly, it's because they didn't want to explain what went on in the red light district, since they wouldn't want him to get even more curious and go find one.

"Ummmm.....you see, there are women that, well," Hige started blushing badly.

Blue smiled. "Just forget about it, Toboe, I don't think that you even want to know. And if you ever do you should come to me. I fear these three might put things or images in your head that you shouldn't even be thinking about."

"Alright," Toboe whispered cutely as he snuggled into the bed with Kiba. "You really don't mind Kiba?"

"Blue?" Kiba asked, sitting up. "Would you sleep in the bed with Toboe? As far as I'm concerned ladies should never have to sleep on the floor. I know it's old fashioned but I'm not going to let you."

The she-wolf smiled and took the spot where Kiba slept. Hige kept sending evil-death glares at Toboe for he was sleeping in the same bed with the only girl in the house. Toboe being snuggled by Blue because she thought he was the cutest pup that ever walked the Earth. As for Toboe, he was lapping it all up, because he felt loved; like he had a mother or something. Tsume paid no attention what so ever as he slept. The others all slept in human form but Kiba remained as a wolf, sleeping next to Blue's bed.

After a couple of hours, it all seemed like everything was going well. Until they all heard the clucking of chickens! All of them sat up.

"The chickens! I knew that you shouldn't have thrown out those bones, Kiba. You've made them angry!" Hige advised. He pointed at Kiba with an order "So you go take care of them while I sit here like the King that I am."

"You mean the 'lazy ass'," retorted Tsume sitting there with his arms crossed over his bare chest.

"Blue? Do you know of any chickens around here?" Kiba asked, trying to remain the calm one.

Blue, who had Toboe clinging to her arm, replied "Not that I know of. When I left her Pop's killed them for food. That's probably why the bones were here. He did a really good job of getting the meat off of the chickens so clean. But one of the chickens did run off after he cut off it's head, that thing was hard to catch."

"Eeeww...by all means..." Toboe said.

"Anyway, no, I don't think that there are any left," she said.

Shiver's went down Toboe's spine. "How do we fight chicken ghost? I mean, like Kiba said, they aren't made of anything so what do we do?"

"Let's go check it out," sighed the leader as he led his 'pack' down the stairs. Without any fatalities they got out of the cabin.

The clucking was coming from behind the house.

"Okay, who wants to go see what it is?" asked Kiba.

"Why don't you, oh fearless leader?" mocked the white haired wolf.

"Go jump off of the cabin, Tsume," he growled. "Anyway, Hige? Why don't you do it?"

"Me!? Why?"

"Cause you've been doing nothing all day."

"What do you call sleeping?" argued Hige.

Blue rolled her eyes. "They're only chickens. What are you? Puppies?"

"Am not!" the four 'men', trying to keep their pride.

"Just that I don't wanna'," Tsume said.

"It's dark back there..." Toboe whimpered.

Hige said "I have been sleeping all day. I want to go back to sleep. I am not going back there because that will NOT help me go back to sleep!"

"I just don't feel like it," muttered the leader.

"Fine. I will go and leave you four to be cowardly," Blue said with a shake of her hand. As she began walking, Kiba and Hige followed her, while Toboe stayed next to Tsume because he didn't want to be hurt. "So? You two decided to come?"

"Of course! I wouldn't let a pretty girl go off into the dark by herself!" Hige tried to say bravely.

Kiba ruined his moment. "Get your mind out of the gutter you big pervert. We're here to investigate the chicken things, not to complement someone."

"Whatever."

"Would you two be quiet for one minute?!" the she-wolve asked angrily.

"Yes ma'am," they both replied.

"Women are scary," whispered Hige to Kiba.

Kiba nodded.

IIIII

The three had to venture into the very small forest behind the cabin, which wasn't supposed to be there since this was a big field, but the authoress just wants to make things difficult for our characters. So they all were walking around, looking for the clucking sound that got closer with every step that they took. Frankly Hige was bored so he began to kick a rock around. It was about as big as a baseball.

"We aren't here to play soccer," advised Kiba to his friend.

"I know that," he replied, kicking it some more, just a bit ahead so after a couple of steps he would be able to kick it again.

"Don't come crying to me if you hit something and it gets angry," Kiba said.

"That's quite alright. I don't expect to."

"You know, if it's a bear, you could get hurt."

Hige sighed. "I promise that if I get mutilated you all can roast me over a burning fire so you won't go hungry. Alright?!"

"Your gross."

"What else is new?" he chuckled as he gave the rock a good kick and it hit Blue in the back of the head. And hard. "Oops."

Blue turned around, looked at the rock, then looked at Hige. Her eyes said it all. They said to 'Run as fast as you can, chubby, because I AM going to roast you over a burning fire...then shoot you for good measure'

"It was an accident!" Hige said, putting his hands in front of him to block her as she pounced on him, still in human form. She sat on his stomach and smiled. Hige blushed. "Umm...Kiba? Help?"

"I told you that you might hit someone and get them mad."

"Not like I meant to hit her!" Hige said as Blue stood up. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't hurt me!"

Blue sighed. "It didn't hurt, you moron, look at that tree."

She pointed to one and there was an arrow.

"I saved your life. It would have hit you in the head if I hadn't toppled you. I didn't want to but my conscious wouldn't let me go on if I knew it was coming, and I didn't save you. So you owe me big time Hige," she calmly said.

"Oooooohhhh...but wouldn't I have heard it? And where did it come from?" he asked curiously.

She shrugged. "I don't know."

"I think that it wouldn't have been able to penetrate his thick skull anyway," Kiba joked.

Hige growled as he stood up "What was that supposed to mean!?"

"Exactly what it sounded like."

"I think Tsume is rubbing off on you."

"Don't insult me!"

Blue tried to voice in "Don't you guys think that we should leave before one of us does get hit?"

"I can say whatever I damn well please!" argued Hige.

The leader crossed his arms. "You got up on the wrong side of the bed."

"Well, I hardly got any sleep! Cause of a stupid chicken ghost!"

"It's not a ghost! There are no such things as 'chicken ghosts'!"

"Excuse me, but, umm..." Blue tried to interrupt again but the two kept on arguing. She took a deep breath, walked over to the tree, and took out the arrow. The two boys watched her walk back over. "I have quite a strong arm. Now if you two do not start walking back I will throw this at you. If you do not choose to go back, whoever I hit has extremely bad luck."

The two boys started to head back with Blue following close behind.

(1)-Red Light District: This part of town is usually where all of the 'ladies of the night' are. Ready and waiting they are. Now you know why they didn't want to tell innocent little Toboe. I think Tsume would have covered his ears. So cute :D

Huzzah! Another chapter over and done with. I know it wasn't funny, forgive me! T.T I'm trying. Anyway, I put Blue in here but if you guys want me to take her out I can get rid of her ::pulls out a machine gun:: But, if you want her to stay, say so! I do want her to stay...she's cool.

And any pairings that seemed to be in here are still coincidental. Think of it as... 'close contact'. And Hige flirting with Blue is the way he always is.

I have no reader responses in this chapter because I am lazy. --; I know that's no excuse but I'll do one in the next chapter. Gomen. Gomen. But, review, I need four reviews asking me to continue. Please: No flames. And I hoped that you enjoyed that chapter as much as I hated it (just kidding, I just think that it's not to funny --;)
