Well, thanks for the reviews everyone! And, thanks to you all, Blue is staying in here! :3 I mean, who doesn't like Blue? She's damn awesome, dude/dudet! So, without any further ado, I give to you the young but adorable bishonen's and bishoujou of Wolf's Rain! -

IIIII

The two male wolves with the one female came back safe and sound. Well, not exactly, Blue still had that mysterious arrow in her hand. They weren't safe or soundly. Hige was trying to drown out his thoughts by singing 'This is the song that never ends' out loud. Which only made Blue want to hurt him more. Hell, Kiba wanted to join in also. Waiting at the side of the cabin, Tsume was standing alone on the side of the cabin. No Toboe.

Crap.

"Where is Toboe?" asked Kiba, confused like as they walked up.

Tsume shrugged. "Oh, Toboe said that you guys took to long so he went to find you. Guess he didn't do that good of a job, did he?"

"And you just let him go off into the dark, scary, and horrifyling weird woods? Not to mention that they're also clucking!" Hige said frustrated that he might have to just go back into that forest.

Looking at the forest, Tsume replied "Yeah. I don't really care. I'm tired, cranky, and need something to eat."

"You're always cranky."

"Your pushing it, chubby."

"Calm down," the woman voiced herself. She snapped the arrow over her knee then threw it to the ground. "We have to go back in there to find him."

All of the men gave a little moan of aggravation or a sigh.

"I know your tougher than this," Blue encouraged.

Hige sat on the ground. "My body feels just like jello. Aw, man, now I'm making myself hungry."

"We're all hungry and exhausted. I'm sure that Toboe can survive on his own. It won't take him long until he figures out that we're in the cabin again," Kiba pointed out. Though, he wasn't even sure of his own words. Toboe was probably out there still looking for them as they spoke. But it's not like the kid was a complete quivering blob. Atleast, Kiba hoped not. "Let's go back inside."

Blue loosened up a bit. She thought for a moment, maybe he would be okay....? "Well, I guess so. But if we find him dead tomorrow you three will be the ones haunted by his restless ghost, not me."

"We're being haunted by chickens. I don't think that Toboe's ghost would be much different," Hige replied with a shrug.

Tsume coldly said "Chubby, the difference between you and those chickens are that they're ghosts and you aren't. But you'll be one soon enough if you keep on pissing me off with your annoying comments."

"You two, let's just go inside!" barked Kiba.

"Alright," the 'two' replied.

Blue looked back at the woods. She sighed, then told herself confindently that Toboe could fend for himself. When she went inside of the cabin she found three supposed adult acting like children. Hige was whining because Kiba had reached the refrigerator first, Kiba was making snide remarks like he were Tsume or something, and Tsume was trying to figure out how to heat up some meat in the microwave.

This old cabin was certainly turning into a circus act though for Kiba was trying to turn on the microwave but wasn't succeeding to well. Hige and Tsume stared blankly at the kitchen appliance with awe. Like it was some strange alien thing.

"I want my meat to be heated, dammit!" shouted Tsume, slapping the side of the microwave. "Why won't this stupid thing work for us?"

"Duh," Blue said, walking over with a look of dissapointment on her face. She waved them out of the wave, now standing in front of the microwave. "Because you don't know how to work the microwave. Here, I know how to do it, I've seen Pop's do it millions of times before."

She pushed the number 15:30 in, to count as fifteen minutes and thirty seconds to re-heat the meat inside, then pushed START. She turned to the men of the group who looked utterly in awe. In awe by the amazement that is woman.

Blue giggled a bit. "What would you guys do without me?"

"Starve," Hige answered, looking longingly at the heating meat.

"Be better off," snarled Tsume under his breath.

"Become vegetarians." Kiba smiled back at Blue.

"I still want jello," Hige said in a pout.

Tsume rolled his eyes. "Then go off and find some. And never come back."

"...I dislike you so much right now Tsume..."

"I know. I know."

IIIII

"Kibaaaa! Hiiiiiigeeee! Bluuuuuuee!" shouted Toboe into the night. He was still looking for them, but unknown to him they were all in the cabin about to enjoy some good meat. The young pup has only fifteen minutes to go back to the cabin!

15:00

He huffed at himself, looking around. "Where in the heck could they be?"

A strong wind blew by, leaves swirling all around, making Toboe try and get around faster. It was so cold out here. Toboe was hungry, cold, lost, and worried. He wondered what could have happened to them. A whole buttload of awful things popped into the pups head.

Like, a bear could have attacked. And that they were injured! Toboe flinched at the thought. Or they drowned. He wasn't sure how, or where, but there's always a possiblity, right? The three could have been poached! A bear, drowning, and being poached. Oh my! The pup shook his head at the idea. As far as he knew they were strong enough to fight off a bear, they could all swim fairly well, and as far as being poached...Toboe didn't smell any humans around this area.

"I've got to stop listening to Hige..." Toboe muttered to himself.

Keeping to his mission, the pup sniffed around. The scents of his friends was close by. Really close by. Then, he realized he was standing right where they had been. Oh. So that's where the scent had came from.

Toboe looked around. They weren't anywhere near here! Maybe they had been poached! Or a bear attacked! Toboe gasped, his litte puppy heart racing a million miles for hour. He wasn't sure of what to do. He couldn't see any footsteps because it was way to dark to tell. The scents of them were going everywhere; just not in one direction. His head began to spin in confusion. What the heck did they do?!

Deciding not to give up, Toboe climbed up a tree to see if he could get a better view. Then he began to see that there was seemingly no end to this tree. He kept on going up...and up....and up...and...wait, he finally reached the top! Toboe gulped, then stood on a branch. His knee's bent a bit because there was a branch right about him, so if he stood up all the way he would hit his head. The young boy began to yell out their names once again. All it did was echo through the night. So, like any young person would do.

"I see dead people!" shouted Toboe, then it echoed a couple times until it faded away. "Choo Choo Train!"

13:17 minutes

He giggled to himself as he yelled other weird things. Loosing track of what he was doing, or where he was, he stood up; hitting his head on the branch above him. The boy jumped back by instinct but realized he only succeeded in making it worse for himself. He would have fallen fifty feet (remember, these are humongous trees) but grabbed onto a branch.

To make things a whole lot worse, when he had been yelling a bear (I'm not sure if Bears exist in Japan, but now they do. Deal with it!) had been attracted. Oh boy. He was going to be ripped to shreds if he jumped down there. If he were a little bit down he would have had a clean jump without a split second reaction of reaching the ground. Toboe knew he thought to much! Tsume always told him to take action first then think later. But, he didn't even think about that. How sad. Toboe jumped on the sturdy branch, still watching the bear below him. It was looking up at him in confusion.

"No! I am not going to come down a play with you!" Toboe shouted at him. He wasn't sure what to do, he didn't want to be attacked by a big old bear! "Go away! Go bug some bee hive or something! Go on! Shoo! Shoo!"

It growled at him. But it reminded him of how Tsume growled.

"Hey, is that you under there Tsume?"

It just growled again, clawing at the tree with it's humoungous claws. It made a huge dent in the tree with it's nails digging into the wood.

"Umm...." Toboe raised an eyebrow. "Please go away?"

Surprise, surprise. It stayed.

11:50 minutes

IIIII

"I'm telling you all, he's lost out there. He should have been back by now," informed Tsume, tapping his fingers on the table impatiently. All of them were spread around the kitchen, the only one sitting by him on the table was Kiba. "Are any of you even listening to me?"

"Don't act like it's new, Tsume, we hardly ever listen to you," Hige said with a smirk. He sat on the counter with Blue next to him.

Blue's eyebrows frowned. "Aren't you worried, Hige? He is your friend."

"Ummm..." Hige stuttered. He didn't want Blue to think that he was heartless so he said "Of course I'm worried! Why wouldn't I be? He is a good friend! Right, guys?"

"Hige," Kiba said with a sigh "Shutup."

"Okay."

"I'm going to go look for him," said Tsume standing up from his chair. Unlike Hige he was truthfully worried. The kid was only a pup. "Are any of you going to come with me?"

There was silence. Seemed like no one wanted to come with him.

He asked again "Does anyone want to come with me?!"

"I'm tired," the girl wolf said, kicking her legs.

"I bet that the ghost chickens got to him," Hige said, playing with the hem of his shirt. "And they're chasing him around as we speak."

"Didn't I tell you to shutup?" hissed the leader.

"I asked if any of you are coming with me!" shouted Tsume upon deaf ears.

Blue said "There are no such things as 'ghost chickens'."

"Then explain the clucking," the three men said in unison.

"I don't know how to. There must be one left. All I know that there are no such thing as chicken ghosts!"

"I'm not going to coming. No way. No how. No why. I am staying right here to eat supper then I am going to sleep for endless hours because I am lazy!" Hige protested, then felt a hand on his. He jumped up thus hitting his head on the cuboard above him. Hige slid down to the floor, landing on his behind, holding his head that boomed for a minute. "What the hell was that?!"

"I-I didn't mean to scare you," Blue said, leaning at his side. "I just wanted to know if you would come if I was going."

The male wolf found it hard to resist a pretty girls request. He cursed himself for being so vulnerable to the extreme power that is known as woman. Hige nodded his head slowly not knowing what he was getting himself into.

"Are you coming too Kiba?" Tsume asked, looking at his friend next to him. But the leader had fallen asleep, his head resting on his arms, sleeping away. "Hige? Could you wake him up?"

"Sure!" he chirped. Hige came over there, then grabbed the back of the chair. He whipped it out from underneath his friend. Kiba, deep in sleep, didn't realize what was going on so he slumped onto the floor. Still asleep. O.o "How in the hell is he still sleeping?! That's not right."

"Even you would have woke up," Tsume said.

Hige nodded in agreement. "Even I have to agree with you on that one. I would have even woke up."

"That's no easy task since you seem like your in a coma," the white haired wolf continued. Hige's eyebrow twitched. "What? I'm just telling the truth."

"The truth is annoying."

"The truth hurts."

"Listening to you two hurts," Blue butted in.

The two awake men rolled their eyes.

"I think he's faking," Blue said.

Tsume softly kicked Kiba in the side. "Wake up!"

"Mmm...." Kiba said, opening an eye. Seeing Tsume's leg in his face he grabbed it then pulled forward. The wolf was put of balance, thus going backwards, and smacking into Blue. Sending them both down. "Go away. I'm tired."

"Ahhh! Blue!" Hige said, practically throwing Tsume off of her. She sat up, rubbing her head. "Are you okay? Are you going to be okay? Do we need the first aid kit? Can I get you anything? Do you need me to carry you upstairs in my manly arms then tuck you into bed?!"

"No," sternly said the she-wolf.

"Why don't you carry Kiba up in your manly arms and tuck him into bed?" Tsume half-joked with Hige.

Hige gave a lopsided smile. "Tsume, shutup. Let's get going."

Before they reached the door, they heard a 'thunk' and then a crash. Turning around, Kiba had tried to get up using a chair as something to lean on but that failed.

"How dare you try to go without me!" Kiba said, getting up despite his aching body.

"We tried to wake you up," explained Blue with a smile.

"I doubt that. But, anyway, where are we going again?"

All of them sighed.

8:29 minutes

Still up in the tree, Toboe looked down at the bear that had fallen asleep. This was obviously a chance to run away. So he was going to take it. All he would have to do is simply be as quiet as possible so the bear wouldn't wake up then run like the devil was at his ankles.

The young pup slipped down the tree carefully. Well, not carefully enough. Toboe hadn't had a good grip while he was climbing down so he started to fall. Not having good balance either he wasn't able to fall on his back nor his stomach so instead he fell on his rear. Right next to the bear. It's brown eyes looked up at the fourteen year old who was still caught up in the immense pain in his butt.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow!" Toboe grumbled, standing up. He then heard growling. "Please let that be Tsume and not the bear. Please let that be Tsume and not the bear!"

Surprise, surprise. It was the bear.

"Ahhhh!" screeched Toboe, jumping up to the nearest branch. Which was only five feet off of the ground. The bear stood up and clawed at Toboe, barely missing his chest. The pup flipped backwards, landing on his back. As the bear lifted up his paw, Toboe shouted "Red light!"

The bear was stuck in it's tracks. The authoress, taking pity on the poor, defenseless, weak little Toboe-

Toboe growled "I am not poor, defenseless, or weak! Maybe little but not those other three!"

Anyway, like I was saying, the authoress took pity on the poor, defenseless, weak, and we can't forget little Toboe and made the red light thing work. Now Toboe can run! Run, Forest, Run!!!

"Toboe! Start running you idiot!" he heard his name called by familiar voices.

"It's the others! Whoopeee!" Toboe frolicked off when he saw them in the distance but the bear was able to move now. Just a few feet behind him, he pounced onto Toboe's back. "Hey! You guys! I could use a little help here!"

"I'm not getting the bear," Hige said.

"I'll do it then," Blue voulenteered. "I guess that I'm the most masculine of the group even if I'm the only girl. How sad."

"No. A girl shouldn't have to fight the bear. I'll do it," Kiba butted in. "But it is awfully big."

"Good God, people!" Tsume said rolling his eyes. "He's about to be eaten and all you can do is argue over who's going to fight it off! Don't you have any sense as to-"

"Just do it already!" the other three shouted.

Turning into a wolf, Tsume ran then pounced himself onto the back of the bear. The bear was confused as to who to attack so he started running off with Tsume still on his back. He jumped off, gracefully landing on his feet as a human.

"I give that a 6.1," Hige said.

"What?!" Tsume shouted. "That was so a 10!"

"I took points off because you didn't rip it to peices so we could eat it. Otherwise, good job," Hige joked around, clapping lightly.

"Can I kill him now?" Tsume growled.

Blue bent down to Toboe who just sat there like a drone. She put a hand on his shoulder "Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine," Toboe said, then passed out.

IIIII

Walking into the cabin, Blue had Toboe (who really wasn't passed out he just wanted a free ride) slumped over her shoulder, Hige rushed towards the microwave, Tsume sat in a chair obviously exhausted, and Kiba was still looking outside. He kept looking. And looking. And looking. Everyone kept on looking at him. Looking at him. Looking at him. Kiba had obviously picked up something either by scent or something moved. None of the others had smelled nor heard something. Well, besides smelling the food in the microwave and hearing their stomachs growl, that was pretty much it.

"What do you see?" Blue asked, letting Toboe fall to the floor.

"Ow!" shouted Toboe, landing head first.

"I smell something. Not sure what it is," Kiba said.

"Then come inside already," she insisted, pulling him in by the arm. "You'll catch a cold or something. And Hige will eat all of the meat."

Breaking out of her grasp Kiba went back outside. The woman sighed, then let him proceed to look around. Again.

"There!" he said loudly, pointing in front of him.

All of them looked outside "What?"

"Can't you see it? It's tiny but I think it's that damned annoying chicken that has kept us up all night," he responded.

Squinting, they all made something out. They still weren't quite sure what it was but if it was the chicken they had to go get it! Now! They started running at it.

"What do you think it is?" Toboe asked.

"The chicken!" All of them snapped back.

Toboe wailed "Well excuse me! I was just attacked by a bear! My traumatization gets in the way of my memory, okay?!"

"Traumatization? The only trauma you've suffered is looking at Hige," Tsume said.

"Yeah-wait. Hey!" Hige yelled at Tsume.

Running up a very, very, very, very long hill they finally reached the top. The girl that was sitting there was writing on a lab top, then she glanced up at everyone. Her eyes got big and she ran like hell was at her heels.

"What the...?" Kiba watched as she ran but ran into the lake. "That was more then strange."

"Really strange," said the female wolf.

"A hill! Yay!" Toboe cheered, throwing his hands up in the air. He turned to Tsume. "Can we ride on it? Huh? Huh? Plllleeeeeaaassseeee Tsume? Please? Please? Please?"

Tsume twitched a couple of times at the pup's happiness. "Sure. I don't care."

Grabbing Tsume's hand, Toboe jumped down. Off guard Tsume was caught tumbling down with him. Toboe was riding down by sitting on his butt but Tsume was running down since he didn't want to get his leather dirty. Hige looked at Blue, who looked at him, then both looked down at the two who finally reached the bottom. Tsume reached it gracefully but Toboe hit bottom then flipped a couple of times, now sprawled out on the grass.

"You want to run together?" Hige asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Ummm..." Blue shrugged. "Sure. Why not?" Hige then reached out for her hand but she said "But no holding hands."

"Fine, fine," he said as they both began running down.

Kiba looked around, sort of sad like. "Now I have no one to run with. Oh well."

He began running down. Unfortunately, he wasn't watching where he was going like a good leader should so he smacked into Hige. Hige tried to twirl around so Kiba would start to fall in front of him but Kiba was holding onto Hige's arms.

Blue, upon seeing this....did nothing.

The two boys came tumbling down unhappily ever after.
