Author Notes!!!!:: PLEASE don't leave feedback asking how I saw all of Wolf's rain or telling me about how many episodes you saw. You can email to find these questions out; the review button is for comments on the fic itself. But I'll just clear this up now. I got it off of EBay, it's a bootleg probably but I couldn't wait, however I will be getting the real version when it comes out in the USA this June or July.


A Shattered Heaven
The fragrance of moon flowers was becoming extremely potent, Hige would complain of how the scent was masking all others, especially any aroma of food. Kiba seemed enthralled by this perfume; the others were noticing a new personality taking place in their leader as well. He would push all other thoughts out of his head, sometimes spending hours just starring into the vat of space, his ears alert and body strung. Toboe took this into concern and sometimes would sit there with Kiba whispering to him, trying to get him to be open with him like before.

"What's with Toboe spending all that time with Kiba?"

"He is a child..."

"Yea, well why doesn't he talk with you or me that much! I could carry on a better conversation then Kiba I'm sure!" Tsume rolled his eyes,

"Probably doesn't want to be picked on by you." Hige scuffed at this idea and pouted at Tsume but when the strict wolf failed to show him any emotion the plump man slowly walked away.

"Kiba talk to me!" The skinny little pup barked but the white wolf didn't seem to notice his plea. His eyes were hungry and snatching up the landscape, looking for something that wasn't even there. Annoyed now Toboe shoved at Kiba's paws, startling the leader out of his trance he glanced down at his companion and without a word walked away towards a sniffing Hige. Toboe felt cold suddenly, a shiver of irritation rode up along his spin and tingled across his brain. Feeling the prick of rejection, Toboe wondered away to some near by cliffs and settled down on ground by himself.
Tsume watching this the whole time slowly got up and found his way over to the quiet individual, he laid down next to his friend and pushed his nose against the youngster. Toboe gasped quietly and moved his muzzle away from Tsume, closing his eyes tightly. He felt so weird, out of place, and angry, he wanted that to be Kiba next to him. Kiba warming his body and Kiba looking over him but it was only Tsume, lonely, quiet, stern Tsume who didn't speak at all.

"I know you have feelings for Kiba, Toboe." It was too late but the little one already felt his body go tight and he hid his face from his older friend.

"What-what are you talking about?" The grey beast sat up and peered down on the petrified Toboe. He lifted a paw and pressed it down hard on the young pup's left shoulder. "Ugh! Tsume you're hurting me!" Toboe cried out and went to sit up but found that Tsume was ten times the wolf he was and flopped back down into the dusty, gritty dirt.

"Little one...." A crooked grin appeared on Tsume's face and he poked his mouth down by his little follower's ear whispering those two little words to him. "Heard everything you two talked about, Hige may have the best nose here...but I have the greatest ears." He laughed heartily and shoved at Toboe's shoulder making him flip over on his side.

"Tsume...Tsume what's wrong with you!" Toboe felt his heart knocking against his chest with vigorous 'whaps' and tried to get up and run back to the other two but Tsume held two paws down on his chest, his nails breaking into Toboe's flesh making the pup stiffen and clench his eyes shut.

"Why him, Toboe? I knew you first....why not me?" The trapped wolf felt his eyes widen in surprise. His friend had gone complete insane he thought but then Tsume bowed his head down close to his and pushed his nose against Toboe's.

"Tsume-"

"If Kiba....doesn't want you...I will have you." And with that the grey wolf was up and gone, in long strides he was already halfway back to where Kiba and Hige were now waiting. Not knowing what else to do, Toboe threw his head back and howled a slow and painful cry. A passerby would have a seen a young man sobbing hysterically, fat tears rolling down dirty cheeks, his hands strapped in-between his legs.

"Toboe?" Hige sat up and went to go over to the place where he was but Tsume stood in front of him.

"A child....remember he's just a little pup! He's just crying because he is tired from running." Tsume sneered and pushed back Hige who still watched that area with weary eyes. Kiba on the other hand began sniffing the air happily and stood up,

"We need to head out! Now!" The white wolf streaked past the two and over the cliff ledges to his partner.

"Toboe we have to go." The weak wolf bolted to a standing position, his hurt angry eyes flashing into Kiba's who was taken aback by the appearance of hatred throughout them. A flame splashing throughout those orbs was suddenly put out and replaced by that of distrust and a broken heart. "Toboe?" Kiba went close to him but the small being pushed past him roughly and back towards the group. Kiba watched him leave and slowly followed, he felt worried but with this strong essence of moon flowers so close it was driving him mad and he couldn't keep his thoughts straight.
That night while traveling, Toboe stayed next to Hige who rambled on about this and that and enjoyed poking fun at the little wolf when ever he got the chance. However Toboe was only listening with half an ear, his thoughts wondered from wanting to be with Kiba to thinking about if Tsume got a hold of him. He had never seen that side of him and felt scared with no one to run to.
Kiba kept glancing back towards his little one wondering what was wrong. He knew he had been somewhat out of it recently but he thought Toboe would have understood. Tsume on the other hand would glance at Toboe as well but with hungry looks and thoughts of what could be if only he could make the young wolf love him.
TO BE CONTINUED?
