(Later that day)

Kagome and Toeboe circled the park one last time. Kagome and Toeboe both sighed and sat down on the grass.

"It's like he just...vanished..." said Toeboe.

Kagome nodded absently to his comment and sighed again, looking up at the night sky. She looked at her watch.9:30 p.m. "Mom will wanted us home by now..." she said quietly.

Toeboe nodded, remebering what Kagome's mom had said about him staying at the house a one night deal. "I'll look around the city again for a little while." he told Kagome, getting up.

Kagome frowned, not wanting him to search alone. "Alright. But be careful!" she called to him as he ran off in the direction of the city.

She got up slowly and walked in the opposite direction. A few minutes later she came to the park her mom always use to take her. She smiled weakly and went to go sit on one of the swings.

She looked up at the sky. The sky was a deep, dark, blue. Thousands of little stars everywhere. "The moon will be full soon..." she murmurred to herself.

She heard a faint russle in the bushes and looked over. She strained her eyes to see in the poor light. She saw a large figure shifting on the grass, fur stained with blood.

Kagome quickly got up and walked over, being careful. The figure shot a glance at her, golden optics clouded over by pain.

Kiba's vision was blurry and couldn't see what was comeing towards him. He snarled a warning, hackles riseing.

Kagome looked closer and saw that the creature was a wolf. A white wolf. Although right now he looked a rusty red. "Er...Kiba?" she asked him quietly, not sure if she was seeing what she thought she saw.(It was a longgg day for her xP)

Kiba looked at her closely. He could make out black hair and blue eyes. He stopped growling and layed his head back on his paws, wanting to sleep. It couldn't be her. It wasn't her. His lack of sleep and food was poisening his mind.

Kagome took a few steps closer, seeing how badly hurt he was. She winced at all the cuts, bruises, and scars he had. She knelt down next to him and slowly, gently, placed her hand on his side. Kiba's body tensed and he growled at her, too weak to actually bite her.

She began to pet him, slowly, and gently, not wanting to touch any wounds. She realized saw was going to need a first aid kit...or a team of highly trained profesinal docters-- to heal him.

"I'll be right back. I'll find Toeboe and get some healing suppiles." she said softly to him.

Kiba felt a small burst of strengh in him. He took on his human form and grabbed her wrist before she could stand up. "Toeboe?" he asked in a groggy voice, his eye opened a crack.

Kagome nodded. "Yeah. We've been triyng to find you for a few days now." she replied.

Kiba let go of her wrist and closed his eye again, and nodded gently.

Kagome smiled and began to jog towards her house. She saw Toeboe on the way and called him over. "I found Kiba!" she said exiteled before he reached her.

"Really?" he said happily and somewhat shocked. "Where?"

"Yeah. Near the park my mom usued to take me to. But we have to get to my house, he's hurt badly and needs medical help." she replied as her house came into veiw. Toeboe nodded and followed her to the house.

Kagome unlocked the door and went inside. "Mom?" she called. But received no answer. She looked around the house, then in the kitchen. On the fridge a note was taped. She ripped the notce off the fridge and read it:

Dear Kagome,

Late again I see. Dinner's in the fridge, just throw it in the microwave. I even ran to the store and got a small bag of dog chow for you little friend.(Who I'm sure you still have.) I won't be back for a few days. Something's come up. Your aunt had a stroke. I took your brother with me. I leave the house in your hands. No parties.

Love, Mom.

Kagome finshed reading the note and almost high fived herself. Now Toeboe and Kiba could stay at her house for a few days. Kiba needed to heal and Toeboe needed a friend. She threw the note in the trash, ran upstairs to the bathroom, grabed the first aid kit, and ran back outside.

Toeboe was outside waiting for her and ran alongside her. "Where's your mom?" he asked.

"She's gone for a few days." she replied.

They soon came to the park and looked around. Kiba was propped up against a tree, face tilted towards the sky(moon actually) and eyes closed.

"Even though it's not full, the moon will help heal his wounds a bit." Toeboe explained. Kagome nodded and rushed over to Kiba, first aid kit in hand.

Kiba opened his eye a crack, saw Kagome and closed his eye again. He scented Toeboe and opened his eye again. And there he was. Standing right next to the raven haired girl.

Kagome examined some of the wounds she could see. She lost count of all of them and sighed. "They're probally more on his back..." she murmurred to herself.

She heard a car comeing and squeaked in surprise.

The Police.

"Everything okay, ma'am?" the officer asked her.

"Erm, uh, yeah! It's just... my um...dog got out(Kiba kinda got too weak and now is in wolf form again.) and got into a fight with another dog..." she said, surprised the sheriff looked like he was agreeing.

Kiba's eyes flew open. "DOG?" he growled angrily.(xD)

Toeboe let out a shout of surprise and grabbed hold of Kiba's muzzle. He smiled at the sheriff, laughing nervously.

The sheriff rose a brow at the struggling white dog. "Be careful. He dosn't look like he's happy." the sheriff said as he slowly began to drive away.

"I will!" Kagome called to him. She let out a sigh of relief. Then took it back when she saw the death glare Kiba was giveing her.

"Well I couldn't say you were a wolf! And you don't look like a cat to me!" she said, temper at it's end from her long day.

Kiba snorted and loked away, calming down. She has a point... he thought to himself.

"Toeboe, we have to get Kiba to my house. Can you carry help me carry him?" she asked Toeboe.

Toeboe nodded. "Of course!" he said happily.

Being careful of all his cuts, he gently slid his arms under Kiba's stomach, and hoisted him up. He faltered slightly but didn't drop him.

"Ok, I got him---barely. Can we run?" he said. He had underestimated the large wolf's weight.

Kagome nodded. "Yeah. Lets go!" With that, they ran as fast as their legs could carry them towards Kagome's house.

Oh yeah! Another chapter done! w00t! I couldn't help but throw in the part with the police officer! xD Any way, thatnks for the reveiws and ideas!
