(Later that day...)

Kagome and Toeboe were walking down the street. Kagome looked at her watch and almost gasped. "I'm soooooo late! My mom's gonna kill me!" she said, smacking her forehead.

Toeboe looked down. He had no where to really go. He sighed and said, "Well, I guess I'll see you tommorrow..." he siad, somehwhat sadly.

Kagome frowned, then smiled. "Hey, why don't you come to my house. My mom might let me have a wol--dog, stay for one night. But you can't really talk or my mom will probally call animal control or something..." she said with a slight giggle.

Toeboe smiled and nodded. Although he didn't like the idea of playing the role of a dog, he wanted to stay with Kagome. He took off his human illusion and continued to walk next to Kagome towards her house.

When they got to Kagome's house, Kagome took out a key and opened the front door. She walked inside, Toeboe right behind her. Kagome's mom peeked her head out of the kitchen and smiled, then frowned. "I thought you'd foreget the groceries." she said mockingly. Kagome gave an embarresed smile and said, "Sorry mom, I guess I just got..." she paused and searched for the word. "...sidetracked." she finnaly said with a shrug.

Her mom saw Toeboe and gasped, nearly dropping the pot she had. "Is he what got you sidetracked?" she said hotley as she looked at Toeboe.

Toeboe bowed his head in embarresment and hid himself behind Kagome. Kagome smiled and patted his head, staing, "Yeah, I'm sorry. He was hungry so I gave him some food and then he...er...followed me home..." she said, unsure.

She bit her lip, waiting to see if her mom fell for her little white lie. He mom sighed and shrugged. "One night." she said, stareing right into Kagome's eyes.

Kagome nodded and said, "Um, c'mon boy." and patted her leg. Toeboe took this as his que and followed after Kagome upstairs, tail wagging slightly.

Once they were in Kagome's room, Kagome fell onto her bed with a sigh. Toeboe sat down on the floor, then asked, "Are we gonna look for Kiba tomorrow?" He really wanted to find his friend. With KIba's help, they would find Tsume and Hige no problem.

Kagome sat up on her bed and nodded. "Of course. I promise we'll find him, Toeboe."

Toeboe sighed and nodded. He had almost lost all hope of finding his friend. He yawned loudly and Kagome giggled. "But right now, we both need some rest." she said smiling.

Toeboe nodded, eyes drooping and layed down on the floor. Head resting on his paws, he quickly fell asleep.

(Different Scene)

Kiba gripped the chain as hard as he could and pulled with all his strengh. He had been doing this for what seemed like days, even though it had only been a few hours. His hands were bloody and swollen, blisters everywhere. The chain had slid out about 6 inches since he had started.

He let go and breathed heavily. He hadn't had any water or food for a few days now and was exhausted. The room was cold and he had no jacket. He growled and hit the wall hard with his fist.

He heard footsteps comeing and tenced up. The same men who had come in before came in now. Kiba took in a deep breath and scented a dog. He openly grolwed when the tattooed man with with the green vest and bandanna came in, a big dog came in behind him, chained.

The dog was large and brown, with black eyes and large jaws. It had nothing but a stump for it's tail. The dog snarled and barked, trying to bite the chain that held it. "Place yer bets men." said the tattoed man.

The other 5 guys got out money and wallets from their pockets. Some said, " I bet on the wolf." others said, "I bet on the dog." After all the men had given the tattooed guy their money, he shoved it in his pocket. He let the dog drag him to the center of the room.

He held the dogs collar as if her were going to take it off. Kiba's golden orbs watched the man and dog carefully, snarling and standing his ground. One of the men began to say, "1...2...3!" At 3 the tattooed man took off the dog's collar and backed up.

Kiba tensed as the dog came after him, barking and snarling. Kiba snarled and lunged at the dog the instant it lunged at him. Blood splattered the ground as both Kiba and dog contacted.

The dog had barely landed any blows when Kiba clamped his jaws around the dog's throat. The dog whimpered and fell to the ground, unconsious. Kiba let got and snarled at the men. Some cursed Kiba and others praised him. The tattooed man gave back some money to the men that had bet on Kiba and they all left.

Kiba breathed heavily and collapsed to the ground, not able to stay awake any longer. The dog stirred next to him and got up shakily. Kiba watched it as it sat up and examined some of it's wounds, being sure not to get close to the wolf that nearly killed him.

Kiba awoke a few hours later, finding the dog stareing at him. "What do you want." he said groggily, sitting up. "I know how you can get out of this place." said the dog.

Kiba's ears perked up and he asked, "How?"

The dog smirked and said, "You must be new around here."

Kiba nodded and explained how he came to this city. Then he asked, "So how do I get out of here?"

The dog nodded then said, "You won this fight. That means that they will feed you and give you water. They're going to move you to a different room soon, one with no chains and more windows. You can escape after they feed you." he smiled slightly when he was fineshed.

"What will happen to you. You lost this 'fight.'" Kiba asked. The dog sighed and said, "They no longer have any use for me."

"Why did you attack me?" Kiba said, temper riseing. The dog smirked and said, "It puts food in the bowl."

A guy walked through the door, makeing the dog jump slightly. The dog slowly got up and limped out the door. The man cursed at the dog and kicked it as it left, makeing it yelp slightly. Kiba began to snarl, but stopped.

The man slowly walked foward, hand raised in surrender. He walked past Kiba, not turning his back to him, and took out some keys. He used all three keys on the lock that held the chain where it was. The lock finnaly clicked open, and dropped.

Kiba was tempeted to bolt, but not tempted to try to run out of the building with a 10ft chain tied around his neck. The picked up the chain with some difficulty and walked out the door, tugging Kiba to follow. Kiba did as the man wanted, following him to another room in the building. The man put the chain in.

When Kiba went to go in the room, the man grabbed his collar and quickly unlocked it before the wolf could bite him. He then threw the collar in the room and closed the door, locking it behind him.

Kiba's blue orbs searched the room. He saw a window, opened just a crack and went to it. He lifted the window up and quietly slid out. He found it was near the middle of the night. He was in some kind of ally and could see street lights near the end of the ally.

He made his way to the lights and stopped, makeing sure he wasn't being followed. When he was satisfied no one was comeing after him at the time, he took off accross the street and into the woods.

Another chapter in the bag! This one was kind of odd...I mgiht change the entire thing later. Anyway, hoped you liked it atleast a little and thanks for the reveiws!
