He lay out in the cold,white snow-waiting...his body is frozen,his life means nothing and he has no will to move on...Kiba wanders around..looking for a paradise that does not exisit in the world of the humans..

The snow fell quietly as a white wolf lay in the freeze. He made no movements at all and seemed to be injured in several places. Kiba,the white wolf,had been lying there for two days now. He had nothing left in the world because the one and only thing he cared about was stolen from him.

Cheza..the flower madien,was the only thing that meant something to Kiba but now she was gone. He sighed and a white snowflake quietly fell on his black nose. He closed his yellow eyes and drifted into a dream...

He dreampt of a place. A place where all wolves reigned and no humans could corrupt with their impurities. There were many wolves of all different colors but he the only white one.They got along and never fought. Then, from somewhere in the darkened distance, he saw someone running up to him. It was the silhoutte of Cheza carefully treading through the field to get to him. When at last she reached him, she fell to her knees and hugged the white wolf's neck. That's when he woke up.

The warmth of a fire awoke the sleeping wolf. He opened his yellow eyes and saw that he was no longer in the snow, but in a house. He looked around. No sign of anyone. The fire stung his fur and a bowl of food lay before him.

"You're finally awake." a feminine voice said suddenly.

Kiba turned his head. Standing behind him was a teen-aged girl. She had short, light brown hair and beautiful cat-green eyes. She wasn't very tall, only about five feet four inches. She smiled sweetly at him.

"That's good. I thought you might be dead."

She walked over to him and knelt down. Kiba drew back and bared his teeth. The girl took no intrest in his threat.

"Don't be afraid,I won't hurt you." she coaxed.

Kiba looked at her. There was something strange about her. He sniffed her curiously.

"You smell of wolf." he said telepathicly.

The girl smiled.

"Well, you were quite heavy. I had to carry you all the way over here."

Kiba sat down infront of her, his eyes staring into hers.

"Why did you bring me here?" he asked her.

"I couldn't leave you alone in the snow. Besides--"

Suddenly, she transformed into a black wolf, such a black that the night seemed pale. She had the same green eyes and calm possure. She sat back down.

"--we wolves have to stick together. They're only a handful of us left."

Kiba's eyes grew wide. She was another wolf! Not only that but she was a female one at that. This could be a good thing.

"So, you are a wolf?"

"It would seem that way."

"Tell me, what is your name?"

"My name is Mika. What is yours, White Wolf?"

He paused for a moment in thought.

"I'm...Kiba."

"Are you heading there as well?"

"Yes but I have to accomplish something before I live the rest of my life in happiness."

"Is it a woman?"

"Yes. Something like that."

"I see. I was on my way to Paradise when a hunter exterminated my family. My mother, my father, my older brother and all my friends..I was the only survivor."

Kiba lowered his head in dismay.

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"So tell me, Kiba, what were you laying about in the snow for?"

Kiba looked away at the sad thought of Cheza.

"My kinsmen and I were with the flower maiden, Cheza when we were ambushed by a man named Darcia. He wounded us all and took her with him to some place out of my knowledge. He said he was superior to any wolf or human -that he was a prodigy and that he would open the gates to Paradise. After that, I lost the will to move on and then I just ended up in the snow, waiting for the end to come.."

Mika lowered her head and her ears and whimpered slightly.

"How upseting to loose the person closest to you."

Kiba turned and looked at the crackling fire. Sparks spurted everywhere as the flames engulfed the logs of wood below them. He turned back to Mika.

"Tell me..why do you dwell and take the form of those humans? Have you no pride as a wolf?"

"It's not that. I have plenty of pride but chose to be left alone. To do my search in hiding. The moon kept me alive before and it can do it again."

"The moon?"

"Yes, the moon is what will keep you alive even if you are an inch from death. It's the secret of the wolves that traveled before us."

Kiba stood up but was too weak to stay like that. He collasped onto the ground. Mika stood up and walked over to him.

"You musn't move, Kiba. You're much too weak yet. Let your wounds heal for a few days."

Kiba grunted at the thought. He lay back down on the ground.

"I can't just leave her. She means too much to me.."

"I know but you must regain your strenght, otherwise you'll never be able to get her back."

Kiba closed his eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep...
