Chapter 2: Siblings
Elena lead the boys into the living room and asked them if they would like something to drink. When she came, back she sat down and asked.
"So what lead you boys hear?"
"Well we just stumbled across the city. We are kind of on our way to Paradise." Kiba answered.
Elena raised an eye brow and said. "You've got to be kidding me."
"No, Sissy, we are really on our way to Paradise."
"Ok. Whose idea was it to do this?"
"It was Kiba's." Tsume answered.
"Ok, Kiba, do you know how dangerous that is?"
"Yes ma'am"
"Yet you are willing to try?"
"Yes ma'am"
"You know that several wolves have tried and have died failing?"
"Yes ma'am"
"Yet you still wish to look for Paradise?"
"Yes ma'am"
Elena began to laugh then said "Hige, For a second I was happy you weren't dead but now all I want to know is, would you prefer an indoor funeral or an outdoor funeral?"
"That's not funny, Where is Chichi? It seems she's the only nice one in this family. Wait, your not going to stop me?"
"No, not this time. You're going to do what you want, like all ways. I'm getting too old to care anymore. However, Chichi is at Cheerleading tryouts."
"Hey your only two minutes older than I am. Cheerleading?"
"Yea, Hige I know that you don't understand and it seems like to me you friends don't understand this either, but humans think we are extinct and when they thought we weren't they feared us and tried to kill us off. All I want is for you and Chichi to live and not go through life worrying about finding food or if you have a hunter on you trail. It will be better if wolves just tried to fit in with the human world."
"You're wrong." Kiba said
"I'm sorry if I have offended you, Kiba, but in my experience it's just easier to remain in human form."
"Sissy! Sissy! Sissy!"
A little girl about Toboe's age with short brown hair and red eyes, just like her older siblings, ran into the main living room. On sight on Hige she stood staring at him then smiled and jumped on him. The two wolves rolled around the floor laughing and playing. They soon hit a long, tall, thin table with a vase on it, the vase began to fall to the floor but luckily Tsume caught it before it shattered. He stood up and handed the vase to Elena.
"Thank you." She smiled picked up the round table and looked at her two siblings. Chichi was now sitting in Hige's lap and hugging him.
"Hige, it's so nice to see you again. Sissy and I thought you were dead. How long are you staying?"
"No, I'm not dead, yet. I don't know. I guess as long as Sissy would allow us to stay?"
"You all are welcome as long as you want. Now Chichi don't be rude and introduce your self to our gust, please."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Chichi."
Kiba and Tsume introduced them selves, but when it was Toboe's turn he couldn't seem to get anything to come out. He just stood there blushing.
"And this is Toboe." Hige said.
Chichi giggled and said "Pleased to meet you. Oh guess what, Sissy! I made the Cheerleading squad!"
"That is great. I see we are going to need a special dinner to celebrate. Hige, Do me a favor and show the boys to their rooms."
Elena and Chichi went into to kitchen and Hige lead the guys up stairs.
"Um, Hige did Elena mean what she said?" Toboe asked
"Oh no, she just contradicts herself when she's nervice. She really isn't going to start plaining my funeral." Hige said laughing.
"No, not that. I mean about it's better to stay human. Why does she fell that why?"
Hige's smile soon fell from his face. "I rather not talk about that."
Not soon after that, Chichi ran up stairs screaming that supper was ready. The boys went into the dinning room and sat at a long table that was filled with large amounts of food, and their eyes grew wide. Each sat down staring, ready to dig in.
"I hope I cooked enough food." Elena said as she walked in the dinning room carrying a bowl full of mashed potatoes.
"This is just fine, thank you." Kiba said.
"Well dig in. Make sure you eat all of it. I don't fell like putting leftovers in the fridge."
"Ok." Hige said grabbing a bowl of mashed potatoes, a spoon, and began to eat directly from the bowl.
"Gross. Hige, save some for the rest of us." Tsume said snatching the bowl away from Hige.
Toboe and Chichi laughed. At that same time they both grabbed for a spoon that was in the corn. Their hands touched and they looked at each other and blushed.
"Go on. I can wait." Toboe told Chichi.
"Thank you." She said smiling "Oh before I forget, Sissy, don't forget you promised to take off work on Saturday so that I can have that pool party. You all are invited as well."
"Oh what a good idea Chichi. We will have a barbeque with a air-jump and several games. Don't worry I remembered, I've already wrote it down in my planner."
"Oh thats right, Chichi, your birthday is Saturday." Hige exclaimed.
"Oh it is?" Toboe asked.
"How old will you be?" Tsume asked.
"Fourteen." Chichi said smiling.
"Hey, thats how old I am." Toboe said.
Chichi smiled.
Later that night Elena was in the kitchen putting dishes away in the dishwasher, when Tsume walked in.
"Any thing I can get you, Tsume?"
"No, I was just wondering if I could help you with any thing."
"Oh thats fine I'm almost done."
"Oh ok. Well, I guess I'll just leave and let you finish."
"No, it's ok. I don't mind. Now that I think of it you could do something for me."
"What?"
"Stay and talk with me. Please, Tsume."
"I would like that."
At that same time up stairs, Toboe stood behind his bedroom door way waiting for Hige to walk past. As soon as Hige did this, Toboe grab him and pulled him into his room, shutting the door behind him.
"Toboe, What the hell are you doing?"
"Sh, I need your help."
"With what?"
"Your going shopping for Chichi's birthday tomorrow, aren't you?"
"Yea."
"I need you to help me pick out the prefect gift for her, please."
Hige smiled. "You like her don't you?"
Toboe blushed and said. "Maybe a little. Are you going to help me or not?"
Hige laughed. "Sure."
