Others?
There were four of them in the cave. They had built a small fire and were huddled around it. It was so cold with the winds howling just outside. One of the figures raised his head when he heard someone coming. He moved over so the guy could sit down and warm up. The second figure sat down and started rubbing his hands together then put them dangerously close to the flames.
"Where is the food?" The first guy asked.
"I didn't get a chance to get any." The second guy replied under his breath waiting for the explosion from the others in the group.
"What?" Another of the group called.
"What do you mean?" Demanded the first guy.
"Just like I told you, I didn't get any food. There was a gun shot and well I went to where it was. I found a wolf dead. Then I saw humans running away. I could only guess that they were the ones who killed him. So I decided to follow them. They took cover in a ravine not to far from here. There are only four of them. We could take them easily." He added hinting that he wanted revenge for a fellow wolf. The first guy shook his heads in disgust.
"I'm sure we could but what would be the point?"
"The point is us not getting killed by the same people." The second guy shot right back. He was not about to let their leader get his way with this one. He wanted to get them back. He was sick of humans just picking off lone wolves.
"I agree," Said the only girl in their pack. "If they are going to be easy targets then let's get them out of our minds." The other two nodded their heads in agreement. The leader looked each in the eyes.
"Let's go before they move." He stood up and walked to the entrance braced himself not ready for the cold that washed over his body.
They had circled up when they had seen them coming down the ravine. Unfortunately the wind was in their favor but Kiba could still smell the blood around the camp. It had hit hard. There was a lot of blood and the smell was incredibly sickening. Tsume was right; there were only four of them, four girls making them an even easier target. He along with the rest of the pack circled up around them. He was standing two feet away from a girl with black hair. She was glaring at him seemingly not afraid. But there was a, no wait it was gone. He was sure he had seen a touch of sadness in her grey eyes. Yet now they were filled with hate and anger.
Tsume lunged at his opponent a blond hair girl with a tear streaked face. She stepped aside and kicked him hard in the back. He went down then was up again a little more slowly but still moving. She had hit right on the spine he was lucky he was moving at all. He lunged at her again. This time grabbing her arm and pulling her down. She pulled back and they both fell. They started rolling around on the ground.
Kiba was watching them intently now his attention was turned back to his own opponent. He jumped at her. But she step sided him easily. She kicked him hard in the ribcage and jumped back again. Kiba glared at her. He hated fighters like this. They would attack then get out of harms way before attacking again. The only good thing about it was they wore themselves out. She waited for him to get up. Her face had not changed. She was not smiling about her small victory. In fact she seemed even more ticked off as if she had missed. He lunged at her again and she step sided him again shaking her head at him as if he had not learned. He got back up and they both started circling each other waiting for the opening to strike.
Hige jumped at her again. As before he was met with a kick in the shins as punishment. The girl he was trying to fight had a habit to attack his legs. She was smiling taunting him to try again. He jumped at her but this time coming in from an angle. His body weight pushed her down. He thought he was winning he being bigger that her. She wiggled her feet under his stomach and kicked him off her. She jumped up ran at him fury gleaming in her eyes. She tackled him and pinned him down. She held him down as he slowly felt his circulation being cut off.
Blue lunged at the girl. Then before she knew what she did she changed into her half wolf/dog form and bit down hard on the girl's wrist. The girl screamed in agony as the needle teeth sunk in. She too changed and griped blue's neck. Not about to let go. Blue yelped in surprise letting go of what had once been a wrist. She scratched with her paws but still she would not let go of her neck. Blue kicked her in the stomach knocking the air from her lungs. The girl fell flat on her face before leaping back up shaking the dizziness from her head.
Tsume had too changed into a wolf but no longer was fighting, in front of him stood a white wolf. He would have swore it was Kiba except for the small scar that had been on her face as a human too. Still he stared at her. She was panting heavily but had left him in little better condition. He stepped forward but was greeted only with a growl. This wasn't going to work. "Look..." He started to say before he was cut off. She rammed her whole body into his chest knocking him down. She leapt away to go help a different wolf.
Kiba gaped at the wolf in front of him. She had just changed and was as black as the shadow she was hiding in. This had become her new tactic. She would jump out at him then run back into the shadow to hide. She jumped at him and he hit her head. She shook her head but he was already on top of her by then. She growled and struggled to bite him but she was still dazed by the hit on the head so she wasn't aiming right. She settled down and waited until she wasn't seeing stars. Then she fought again but his hold on her was too good. She couldn't reach anything with her teeth. She looked at him. The hate was still there but in it was a touch of knowing. She knew she was going to die. These wolves had not come here just for a friendly brawl. She changed back into her human form. "Please just do it quickly." She whispered anger filled her word. She laid her head back down and closed her eyes changing back to her wolf form. Kiba got off of her. She didn't move for a second before she realized he had gotten off of her. She got up quickly expecting an attack. Kiba touched her neck gently with his muzzle and pushed her forward. She got the idea and moved ahead of him.
Toboe was looking down at the group. He knew he was not suppose to be here but he could help it when the fighting had started he came. They all had stopped fighting now. He ran down the ravine and in front of the other pack. He ran up to Kiba. "What is going on?" Kiba shook his head ashamed of himself. He should have known that the wolf wouldn't have been alone. "We made a mistake. They didn't kill the wolf. He was their leader." Toboe looked at them; the pity in his eyes was unmistakable. "Are they going to join our pack?" Kiba shrugged his shoulders. "Let's go ask."
Kawa was inspecting her pack. They were tired and worn but there were no serious injuries. They were good fighters Chi had taught them well. She was proud they were in her pack. She looked at the other pack. Their leader was walking up to her. She felt Kage's hackles go up. Then smooth down. She was not in a good mood. She had been beaten at her own game. She walked away into the shadows where Tsuki was. Even though Tsuki had schooled her opponent with ease, (She was a natural fighter unlike Sora) still she wouldn't go near them. She didn't like them or any strangers. Sora had done alright but if the fight had continued there wouldn't be much left of her.
"Kawa?"
"Yes Kiba, what is it?"
"Join our pack." It was not a question but a demand. Kawa bristled at the fact that he thought she would join his pack because he was a guy.
"We don't need to. We are fine by ourselves." Her voice was barley above a whisper.
"You have too. What if someone else attacks you? I'm pretty sure there is a good bounty on wolves. There are only so few left. We may be the only others." Sora walked in between them facing Kawa.
"It isn't such a bad idea. I don't know if our pack could do this again at least I know I can't." Kawa looked at the pup that had filled her life with laughter.
"We can try it but if it doesn't work we are leaving." She said not taking her eyes off Sora. She turned around and walked to the shadow to break the news to the others.
Sora looked up at Kiba. "Don't worry at least you didn't have to deal with Chi. Just one word of advise don't talk to Kage, the one you fought, she takes it hard when she loses." Sora walked over to make sure her sister was ok with the new idea. Kiba went back to tell his pack of the new arrivals.
