The Story of a Lonely Wolf Chapter 13: Another Fight
"What in the world is this?" Hige asked as he picked up a Play Station 2 controller that was sitting on the floor near the TV.
"Don't ask me," Tsume said staring at the strange thing.
"I wonder if you can eat it?" Hige asked and he sniffed the black controller.
"I doubt it," Tsume replied.
"You never know humans eat the weirdest things," Hige said.
"What's that?" Kiba asked as he pointed to some cases that sat next to the PlayStation 2.
"Hmmm..." Hige said and picked one of the cases up.
"Well?" Tsume asked.
"I think you can watch this on the black box," Hige said and looked at the Play Station 2. "It says here it's only for Play Station 2."
"I bet that is the black box," Kiba said.
"It says PS2 on it," Hige said reading the words on the black box.
"PS2, what the hell is that?" Tsume asked.
"I have no idea..." Kiba said as he looked at some more of the games. "Hey look at this," Kiba said as he read the back of one of the cases, "Kill the dark lord, save the princess, and go to paradise."
"Umm... Kiba I don't think they are talking about the same paradise," Hige said rubbing the back of his head.
"Hey guys," Cassi said as she walked into the room.
"Hi," Hige said.
"Hello," Kiba said with a smile and put down the game.
"Hello, Hige.... Tsume," Cassi said looking at Tsume. "And you are?" she asked diverting her attention to Kiba.
"Oh I'm Kiba," Kiba replied.
"Well hello there Kiba," she said with a smile.
"Hi," Kiba replied.
"And who is this?" Cassi asked as she walked over to Tsume and began looking over Toboe.
"He is uh... my dog.... Toboe," Hige began.
"Well when you get passed the blood and bandages he's quite cute," Cassi said.
"So will you help us help him then?" Hige asked.
"Yeah I told you I'd help your friend didn't I," Cassi replied as she continued to look over Toboe.
"Yeah I guess you did," Hige said with a smile while rubbing the back of his head.
"I hate to break up this conversation but he's getting really heavy if you don't hurry and tell me where to put him I'm going to drop him right here," Tsume said in his usual tone.
"Oh I'm sorry I'll go get a few towels you can lay him out on," Cassi replied and hurried off to the closet.
"Tsume all you had to do was ask and I would have held him for awhile," Kiba said.
"You where to busy asking if the TV could show us paradise to hold him," Tsume replied.
"Here," Cassi said as she reentered the living room and laid out some towels.
"About time," Tsume said and walked over to the towels.
"Ummm.... Tsume maybe I should put him down," Cassi said trying not to offend Tsume.
"Why?" Tsume asked.
"Because everyone in here knows you're just going to drop him on the floor, she doesn't want him to get hurt any more then he already is," Hige replied.
"Fine here you want him so much take him," Tsume said angrily and threw Toboe at Cassi.
"Ahh!" Cassi said Tsume just throwing Toboe at her like that startled her a bit.
"Tsume!" Kiba said and caught Toboe before he hit Cassi.
"She wanted him didn't she, I just gave her what she wanted."
"You didn't give him to her you threw him at her," Hige said.
"So what this is a waste of my time anyway," Tsume replied.
"Then why don't you leave?" Hige asked he was getting a bit angry as well.
"Because he has nowhere else to go," Kiba replied.
"Well go outside then," Hige said.
"Fine I will, it's a lot better out there then in here with you idiots," Tsume said and headed for the door.
"Wait," Cassi said.
"What for?" Tsume snapped.
"Here," she said as she went to the closet and pulled out a black coat, "I thought you might need this it's really cold out there," she said with a warm smile.
"No thanks," Tsume replied and walked past her and out the front door.
"Man what a jerk," Hige said as he looked out the window and saw Tsume sit down on the porch.
"I wonder why he hates me so much," Cassi said as she looked out the window at Tsume.
"He doesn't hate you, he's just a jerk," Hige replied.
"I still feel bad though."
"Why you didn't do anything to him," Kiba said.
"Well I think it was when I yelled at him when we first met," Cassi said.
"No Tsume wouldn't get mad at something like that," Hige replied.
"He wouldn't?" Cassi asked.
"No he'd just get pissed off," Hige replied.
"Great..." Cassi replied with a sigh.
"How are we going to help Toboe?" Kiba asked as he kneeled next to the brown wolf.
"Well if you give me a few minutes I can call a vet," Cassi replied.
"Umm... well we don't have money to pay for a vet, can't you just do something to save him?" Hige asked.
"I'll pay for it," she replied.
"You will?" Hige and Kiba asked in surprised voices.
"Of course," she replied with a smile.
"Do we have to work for it?" Hige asked.
"No not this time, thought if you want to I'm sure I could fine something for you to do," Cassi said.
"Oh no that's fine," Hige replied.
"So you help him for free?" Kiba asked making sure he wasn't going to get into something he couldn't take care of.
"Yes I will," Cassi replied.
"What's the catch?" Hige asked.
"There is no catch, we are all friends now and you should always help a friend," Cassi replied as she flipped though the phonebook for the vet's number.
"Right..." Hige replied he still wasn't sure about this, knowing Cassi he was pretty sure they'd have to do something to pay her back.
"Let's see..." Cassi said as she flipped though the big yellow book, "Ah here we go here's a place called Paw Prints, they make home calls, that will work."
"Yeah...." Hige said. "Hey Kiba can I talk to you in the kitchen?"
"Uh yeah... sure," Kiba replied with a bit of uncertainty in his voice, Hige had never ask to talk to him before, at least not like this.
"I think we might have a problem," Hige said as he and Kiba walked into the kitchen then closed the kitchen door.
"What do you mean?" Kiba asked.
"Well she's calling a vet right? Don't you think a vet would know the difference between a wolf and a dog?"
"I don't know, I wouldn't think so... they think we have been dead for over 200 years, I doubt the thought would even cross their mind," Kiba replied.
"Are you sure?" Hige asked.
"Pretty sure," Kiba said, "Hige what's wrong, I have never seen you get so nervous over a little thing like this."
"I dunno something just doesn't smell right about all this, I have this weird feeling that someone is going to find out."
"When you say you have a feeling that someone is going to find out you don't just mean the vet do you?" Kiba asked, he could tell by the look on Hige face that he wasn't playing around he was dead serious.
"I'm not sure, I just have a weird feeling," Hige replied.
"Well no one will know unless we let them know, so just don't say anything," Kiba replied he wasn't sure if he should take this seriously or not.
"Yeah...." Hige said.
"I just hope that the vet gets here in time to help Toboe," Kiba said as he turned to leave the kitchen.
"Oh don't worry I'm sure they can, these humans, they may not be very good at lots of things but they are good at helping people," Hige replied.
"Yes but Toboe isn't a human, they are good at helping humans not wolves," Kiba replied then left.
"Whatever..." Hige said, "Hey I wonder where Josh is..."
"What in the world is this?" Hige asked as he picked up a Play Station 2 controller that was sitting on the floor near the TV.
"Don't ask me," Tsume said staring at the strange thing.
