Hey guys. Chibi Reli here. I've decided to start a new story because it just came into my head and I had to write it. I hope you all enjoy it. It's a different take on exactly what happened. Also, there are some weird lines throughout the story that may make it seem odd, but not all of them mean a new scene.

In The Wolf's Rain

1 – Blue Eyed Wolf – Part 1

"According to the Book of the Moon, God opened the doors to Paradise and in the wolf's rain, wolves were brought in order to chase the demons away from the human world. Soon after, the gates were closed, locking humans and wolves together in the same world. The humans soon started to fear the wolves and started to hunt them. In order to survive, the wolves took the forms of humans and lived among them, but never gave up looking for a way to reopen the gates.

"The Book of the Moon spoke of only one true way to reopen the gates. To reopen the gates, four wolves would appear: a wolf with the ability to feel from others, a wolf that could hear what could not be heard normally, a wolf who could smell from miles more than normal, a wolf who could taste what seemed tasteless. These four wolves would meet the blue-eyed wolf who could see what could not be seen and the flower maiden made of Lunar flowers who would be produced from the science of the Nobles. Together, the bloods of the blue-eyed wolf and the flower maiden would be spilled in the wolf's rain, reopening the gates of Paradise and giving the wolves back their home.

"I'm sure now that there is no Paradise. There is no other world for just wolves."

"Are you sure we'll find the next one here, Kiba?" asks a guy dressed in leather and silver hair as he looks to his dark brown haired companion for an answer.

"Yes. I can feel the last wolf here," he says, looking down at the city from a bridge as he puts his hands into his black jacket.

"It's a big city though. There are a lot of people to look over," comments a smaller boy with redish brown as he sits on the ground.

"You know the drill, right?" The brown haired guy ask

"Yeah. I'll go look for a job," the silver haired guy answers.

"We'll go look for a place to stay," answers another brown haired teen dressed in a yellow sweatshirt as he pats the boy on the ground.

"I'm going to explore the city and try to find him."

"Lady Jagara, they are on the move. WE may have found another wolf as well," announces a man clad in dark grey robes to a figure sitting at a table eating a meal.

"Look for them. I want Paradise."

"This is the last place Toboe. Play your part well and we'll be set," the brown haired boy says as he rumples his sweatshirt and starts to walk towards an inn.

"I know what to do Hige. Just don't mess up this time," the boy says as he follows. Suddenly, a figure stumbles into Hige and knocks him off his balance, causing him and the person to fall to the ground.

"Hey, watch it," he says, rubbing his back. He then gets looks to see who ran into him and sees a woman dressed in a black leather jacket that went mid thigh and black boots that also reach mid thigh as she gets up.

"Sorry. Be back later," she says as she runs off.

"Hige. Hige? Are you alright?" Toboe asks as he bends down to his friend.

"I think I just saw an angel," Hige answers, staring off in the direction that the woman ran in. The boy gets up and sighs, making his way back towards the inn.

"Hey. Is anyone back here?" Hige asks as he and Toboe reach the front desk, looking for the manager.

"Yeah. What do you want?" asks an old man as he stumbles out of what looked like a back room and leans on the front counter for support.

"We would like to rent out a room for the night," Toboe says.

"How much do you have?"

"This much." Hige takes out a few bills and such from his pocket and shows the man. He stares down at it hard and then looks back to Hige and Toboe.

"Sorry, but that won't get you anything here," the man says as he starts to head out.

"Come on old man. You gotta let us have a place. I can't let my little brother here sleep outside again," Hige says, trying to sound sad as he leans over the counter towards the man.

"I said no. I don't want you staying here. Seem too much like a bunch of wolves to me."

"What?" the two guys say in unison, looking at each other in shock.

"He has to be around here somewhere. I feel a presence," Kiba says to himself as he wonders about the streets of the market. He continues to wonder down the street and soon passes a girl in black running opposite to him. He stops suddenly at the encounter and turns to look in the direction she went in, only to see a giant crowd of people covering her. "Could she be the one?"

The four guys find themselves sitting at a table in a local bar, as they discuss the day.

"Did you find someplace Tsume?" Kiba asks the silver haired guy.

"Yeah. Easy enough. Also found one for Hige. It will help bring in more money."

"But you know how much I hate to work," Hige complains, dropping his head on the table for emphasis.

"Did you two find someplace?" Kiba asks the two others.

"Yeah. We found a little hotel, but the old man wouldn't let us stay. We were thinking about checking it out later again," Hige answers.

"Did you have any luck Kiba?" Toboe asks.

"I thought I did. IN the market, I thought I felt something. I tried to follow it, but there were too many humans in the way." Hige looks around the bar and sees a woman getting on the stage.

"Hey. That's the woman we saw running out of the hotel today. I would recognize that scent anywhere," Hige mentions.

"That's the same person I was feeling out in the market. I have a strange feeling about her," Kiba says as he stares at her a bit longer.

"Maybe she's the one we're looking for."

Been a long road to follow

been there and gone tomorrow

without saying goodbye to yesterday

are the memories I hold still valid?

or have the tears deluded them?

maybe this time tomorrow

the rain will cease to follow

and the mist will fade into one more today

something somewhere out there keeps calling

am I going home?

will I hear someone singing solace to the silent moon?

zero gravity what's it like?

am I alone?

is somebody there beyond these heavy aching feet

still the road keeps on telling me to go on

something is pulling me

I feel the gravity of it all

"That song. I've never heard anything so…enchanting," Hige responds as he watches the woman leave after taking her bow.

"It's like it's calling to us," Toboe says.

"I hear her yearning for freedom through that song. She has to be the one, as much as I hate to admit it," Tsume answers, eyes closed in concentration.

"The blue-eyed wolf that can see what cannot be seen will show the gate to Paradise," Kiba whispers to himself as he gets up from his seat.

"Well that went better than I thought. Now as long as nothing happens on the way home…" the black haired woman says as she walks down the street at night.

"Hey there pretty thing. What are you doing out here all by yourself?" a man says as he and a few other men walk out of a nearby alley.

"Looks like I spoke too soon."

"I know she's still here. I can smell her," Hige says, stopping and sniffing the air, as the other three wait behind him.

"I think it would be best if you just leave me alone already." The gang turns the corner to see the woman from earlier being surrounding by a few unfriendly looking men.

"Looks like the girl's in trouble," Tsume says.

"Maybe then we should help the lady out," Hige says as he starts to move.

"I think it would be best if you just leave me along already," the woman says as she lets her head hang down with her eyes closed.

"And what's a little girl like you gonna do?" one guy says as he approaches her. The woman puts herself in a position to show that she's ready to fight before a voice interrupts her.

"More like what are we gonna do to you?" They all look in the direction of the voice to see four new guys in front of them.

"You kids should really get out of here. You don't want anything bad to happen," the first man says.

"We should be saying the same to you. We don't want any trouble," Tsume says, cracking his knuckles.

"OH yeah. Let's show them guys." The guys charge after the gang, but Tsume, Hige and Kiba easily take them down. After seeing that each one is on the ground, they look around and see that the woman they were trying to save had disappeared.

"Where did she go?" Toboe asks confused.

"Hey. We save you from a bunch of goons and you don't even stay to thank us?" Hige says as he spots the woman walking down another street and runs up to her.

"I never asked you for any help," she says, hands in her pockets as she continues on.

"Well, I just thought that a pretty girl like you would need a little help," Hige answers, reaching for her hand.

"Who said I even needed any help? I was just about to teach those guys a lesson," the woman says, turning around and confronting him head on as the others catch up.

"Sure you were," Tsume says, then giving a huff.

"For your information, I am a champion kick boxer."

"Yeah right."

"Tsume," Kiba says, putting his hand on his companion's shoulder. He then looks towards the woman. "We heard your song at the bar a while ago. Where did you learn that song?"

"I don't know. It just came to me in a dream one night," she answers, looking into the sky.

"You work at a hotel right?" Hige asks, shaking her out of her state.

"Yeah, why? Are you looking for someplace to stay?"

"Actually, yeah. The only problem is that the old man there wouldn't let us stay because we didn't have the money," Hige comments.

"Did he also say that you resembled wolves?" the woman asks as she lets out a sigh and scratches her head.

"How did you know?"
"Pops thinks that most strangers are wolves," she answers turning around and making her way down the road again.

"So do you think that you could maybe give us a good looking guy discount?" Hige asks as he falls into step with her.

"Sorry, but that isn't my thing. I just help out with the place for Pops." She continues to walk, but suddenly stops as she Toboe in front, starring up at her.

"Please miss. We've hadn't had a decent place to sleep for such a long time and all we're asking for is a room, it doesn't even have to be warm or even have a bed," he asks, pleading.

"Well, I can't say no to a cute kid like you and you haven't done anything wrong. I guess I can let you and the guy in the leather jacket in for free. The other two have to pay full price," she says, pointing towards Hige and Tsume for emphasis.

"Thank you so much. This really means a lot to us. I'm Kiba. That's Toboe, Tsume and…"

"Hige," he says, putting out his hand.

"Nice to meet you, I guess," she says as she starts walking again.

"So what's your name?" Toboe asks as they walk towards the inn.

"Blue."

The old man from before walks down the hallway of his business, rifle in tow and sees Blue and the guys in front of one the guest rooms. "Blue. You're home. And who exactly are these guys with you?" he asks, bringing his gun up, startling and putting the guys on edge.

"They're customers Pops. I'm just showing them to their room. Now why don't you go head back to bed? I won't be able to help out tomorrow."

"I don't want them here," he says, cocking his gun and aiming.

"Pops, money is money and even if they are wolves, we still need the money," Blue says as she walks towards the man and covers the rifle with her hand.

"Fine, but if anything happens, it's all you," he says as he puts down the gun and walks in the other direction.

"Alright Pops. Goodnight." She turns back towards the guys and opens the door for them, letting the guys follow her in. "Sorry about that guys. He's getting old. Here's your room. There's the bed and the bathroom's over there. Any questions?"

"Do we get any special room service?" Hige asks grinning.

"No. Good night," she says as she quickly exits the room. AS Hige starts to get comfortable on the floor, Tsume hits him on the side of the head.

"What was that for?" he asks, rubbing his head.

"Can't you ever shut your big mouth? That woman was ready to kick us out," Tsume responds.

"No she wasn't."

"Yes she was," Kiba replies. "WE should at least be glad she let us stay here after all the things you said."

"DO you really think that Blue and that old man believe we are wolves?" Toboe asks as he sits on the bed.

"The old man might just because he's old. Blue on the other hand, is going to have to believe once we show her the truth," Tsume comments.

"That is, if she really is the one we've been looking for," Kiba says.

"I hope she is because she's hot," Hige comments.

"I swear if it wasn't for that nose of yours I would kill you for all your stupid things," Tsume says, giving Hige a small punch on the head.

"Hey, that hurt. Well anyways, I'm gonna go for a walk. I'll see you all in the morning," Hige says as he rubs his head and heads out the door.

"Where is all that noise coming from? It sounds like there's a fight going on," Tsume says to himself as he walks down a flight of stairs and opens the door at the bottom. Ahead of him hiding behind something he sees Hige watching something. "What exactly are you doing down here?" Tsume asks as he approaches Hige.

"Shh. She'll hear you," Hige says, pointing in the direction that he's looking in to see Blue punching the life out of an old red punching bag. Around her is a small gym and trophy case.

"I was walking around when I heard something like fighting and then caught her scent. And you?"

"I heard punching and went to try to find it. So is she any good?" Tsume asks as he watches her.

"Well from what I see, she's not bad at all." Blue finally stops punching and stretches her arms.

"You guys can come out if you want to. I won't bite," she says, looking in their direction.

"Little do you know," Hige says to himself as he and Tsume make their way over.

"What brings you down here?" Blue asks as she rubs her hands, sitting on a bench nearby.

"Just wondering where all that pounding was coming from," Tsume says as he looks around at the makeshift gym.

"I'm just practicing. Sorry if I disturbed your sensitive ears."

"You're not that bad. For a girl I mean," Hige says.

"Thanks, I guess," she says as she takes off her bindings from her hands and flexes them out.

"So how exactly did you get those trophies? I mean, there must have been some pretty big guys in the ring," Tsume asks, pointing towards the case.

"I don't know. I'm just a natural fighter I guess. I've always felt that fighting made me feel the most complete compared to everything else. It seems to be innate."

"Will you be fighting anytime soon?" Tsume asks.

"Tonight. In the big dome in the center of town. Can't miss it. Now if you don't mind, I need to take a shower, take a quick nap and go run a few errands."

"Would it be alright if I joined you? I really don't know the city and since you do…" Hige asks as he tries to act convincingly.

"As long as you don't mind carrying things I guess I can show you a few things," Blue says as she grabs a nearby bag and slings it across her shoulder.

"Great. I'll wait for you in the lobby then around 9, unless you wouldn't mind me joining you for the shower and that nap?"

"Don't push your luck chubby. See ya," she says, punching his arm and leaving.

"Damn. She punches just as hard as you do Tsume," he says, rubbing his arm.

"I think I might get along with that girl after all. Seems like she actually has a brain," Tsume says as he punches Hige in the same place as Blue did.

"Why am I the one being hit all the time?"

"Where's Hige?" Toboe asks as he looks around for Hige after waking up.

"He went into town with the girl. He said he wanted to keep an eye on her," Tsume says as he walks into their room.

"You were talking to her?" Kiba asks.

"Last night while she was practicing. She also said that she would be fighting tonight. We should go," Tsume states.

"Then we can see her real strength tonight. She'll be fighting for real then and maybe the wolf will come out of her."

"Man, this place is huge. I never knew fighting was this popular," Toboe says as he and the other three find some seats in the crowded indoor stadium. People are already screaming and shouting as matches have already begun.

"It's usually not this crowded."

"What do you mean?" Kiba asks the guy sitting next to them.

"It's only crowded because Black and Blue is fighting tonight" the guy says.

"Who's that?" Tsume asks.

"How could you not know who she is?"

"You must mean Blue, right?" Toboe asks.

"That's her real name kid, but in this world, she's called Black and Blue. She is undefeated and has never been hit once. It's amazing. Plus, what guy can't resist a hot babe that also kicks ass?"

"I know exactly what you mean," Hige says before a gong is heard and the ref holds up the winner of the just finished match. New people now come in and start dragging away the body of the defeated man, cleaning up the ring, and a man's voice is heard.

"Ladies and gentlemen. It's the time you've all been waiting for. Our main event. Coming out of the North entrance, that 300lb mass of muscles who's known for his mean sets of kicks, Butch." Shouts are heard as a huge man cloaking himself in a black cape makes his way into the ring, then stripping his cloak to show all his muscles.

"And coming from the South entrance, is the beautiful, yet feisty undefeated kickboxing champion, Black and Blue!" The whole place erupts into a frenzy as they watch Blue in her usual black ensemble enter the ring as well, except much more calm. The two opponents look at each other and start to approach each other towards the center. A ref comes up and stops the two before they get a chance to start fighting.

"You both know the rules. Nothing below the belt and the first one out is the loser. Alright, ready, fight." The first move is made by Butch, but Blue gracefully dodges it by jumping several feet in the air.

"New information has been discovered by some of the sorcerers. They wish to talk to you immediately about the journey to Paradise," says the man in grey robes to the figure from before, now in her study as she reads through a book.

"Fine. How goes the hunt?" she asks, turning a page.

"We believe that we will be closing in on them very soon. WE ask for some more time."

"As long as you can get me those wolves, I'll give you the time you need."

As the fight continues on, Blue continues dodging and attacking her opponent without breaking a sweat, while her opponent seems to be tiring out. Butch once again attempts another kick, only for Blue to dodge it.

"And Blue has once again dodged another attack with her amazing agility," the announcer states. Blue goes in for another roundabout kick and lands it directly in Butch's face, sending him into the floor, as Blue stands, stretching her neck.

"One more good combo and he should be out for good," she whispers to herself. As she sees Butch starting to get up, she gets ready for another attack."Listen to them Blue," a voice says, stopping Blue dead in the middle of the ring. Suddenly, she sees a black wolf with blue eyes looking straight at her, while standing in the rain, in front of a bright white full moon. The wolf then looks away and howls up towards the stars. Seeing this as an opportunity, Butch kicks Blue in the jaw hard enough as to knock her to the ground.

"OH my god. This is a first ever. Black and Blue has been knocked down."

"For all the hype, she easily got distracted," Tsume comments.

"Something must have happened to make her stop like that," the man sitting next to them comments.

"Like a vision," Kiba states.

"Looks like you're not so tough after all," Butch scoffs as he walks over and attempts to smash on her with his foot, but Blue easily rolls away and puts herself into a squatting position.

"You were just lucky. I had my attention somewhere else at that moment," she says as she checks her jaw to make sure nothing is wrong.

"You wish bitch," Butch says as he gets ready to attack Blue again.

"You did not just say that," Blue says as she gets herself up, wiping at her lip.

"OH but I did. You're just a bitch who couldn't function as a normal woman in the real world so you decided to come out a try it out with the big boys. Now if you just give up, maybe I'll let you off easy and even let you even be my girl for a while since even though you may be a bitch, you're a hot one. I'm sure I can whip you into shape." He looks straight at Blue who for the first time, starts to look angry, clenching and unclenching her fists at her sides.

"It's people like you who make me hate this stupid race!" Blue declares as she explodes from her spot and lunges at him with tremendous speed and then barraging him with a combination of kicks and punches which Butch has no time to doge any. She then knocks him down to the floor with a powerful kick. Before Butch can lift his head, Blue is on top of him, with her hand wrapped around his neck. Butch then opens his eyes not seeing Blue, but what seems to be a black wolf with blue eyes, starring down at him bearing its fangs.

"What in the world…You're a wolf. A wolf," Butch says, eyes widened in fear.

"You wish, because then you would be dead instead on living with the thought that a little girl beat you." She knocks her head into his, knocking him out, then getting back onto her own two feet, checking her jaw again.

"And it looks like this match is over. The winner, Black and Blue!" the ref says, holding Blue's arm up into the air as the audience screams in approval.

"Did you see that?" Hige asks out loud in awe.

"I wonder if anyone else does," Kiba says.

"That guy sure did, just before Blue knocked him out," Tsume replies.

"She really is a wolf, just like us," Toboe says.

"Wow Blue. That was amazing. I haven't seen a man, much less a woman with that kinda strength before. Are you sure you're human?" Hige asks as he and the three other guys meet her in the back entrance to the inn.

"Of course. What else would I be? Though sometimes I wish I wasn't," she says, getting the keys out of her bag to open the door.

"Maybe you aren't. Maybe, you're a wolf. Like us," Kiba says.

"What are you guys…What in the world are you guys?" she asks as she turns around and sees four giant dogs staring straight at her, a grey one, a red brown one, a light brown one, and a white one in front.

"We're wolves, just like you," the red-brown wolf that sounded like Toboe says.
