I got back from skewl not to long ago and finished my homework, and i decided to work on my fanfic! just for you peeps!

i also wanted to mention that in this story, the plot is almost the same as the show. the wolves are hunted and constantly tracked and all that 'good' stuff...

the way to tell what is talking, thinking, and wolves communicating, here's a guide!

Talking: "Hot Dogs!"

Thinking: Hot Dogs!

Wolves Communicating: "Hot Dogs!"

n e ways, here it is! chapter 5! WOOT! XD

Aya eyed the names.

Hige...

She moved down a few names.

Toboe...

A sudden realization came upon her.

"Those boys! Oh my god!" She jumped up and looked at the clock.

Hmm... 11:30... Oh well! Who gives a shit!

She happily grabbed the first photo in the book, threw on her jacket and tennis shoes and grabbed her keys, running out the door and closing it behind her, locking it as well.

I've gotta find them!

Aya began running towards her office building, the sound of her footsteps echoing up and down the dimmly lit street. She skidded to a halt at the building doors.

I know that they're from my past! But how in the hell would I know wolves! (a/n: for those of you who haven't figured it out, aya's a wolf, but she has no memory of it... her brother , haru, and little sister, leena, were also wolves, you'll learn more about them later... so yeah... on with the story!)

"Now let's see... I always run into the little one down by the corner of 91st and Ridgeview... Or, is it Ridgeview and 82nd! Dammit!" Aya argued with herself and randomly picked which way to go. She jumped down the steps and took off down the street. Not long after coming to a poorly lit corner. A shiver went up her spine and she looked around. "Gosh... Not exactly what you'd call welcoming..." She looked around again and saw her two choices of directions to go.

Now if I were a wolf (a/n: he he! you are one dummie! O.O oh, sorry... ;) where would I be hiding?

Aya thought to herself for a moment and started to slowly walk down the darkest street. She was surrounded by run down buildings and dark shadows loomed around every corner. She shivered again and stuck close to the wall, her eyes darting back and forth looking for any other signs of other people here.

She walked by a large alley, and took a quick look to see if there was anything there. Because of the darkness anything that had been there, wasn't visible to her, so she continued on.

She continued down the street as something stirred in the alley. A light brown head of a 'dog' appeared from under a worn and used blanket. He sniffed the air and cautiously stood, peeking around the corner and seeing the retreating back of the girl from earlier that day.

"Well, wouldcha look at that!" He said to himself, watching the girl continue to walk along. His ears suddenly perked up and a low growl was emmitted from his throat. He jogged slowly after the girl.

Aya continued on, looking around for anyone... or anything. Suddenly, she caught movement out of the corner of her eye. She swung her head around. "Hige? Toboe?" She said aloud, but instead of the friendly faces of the boys from before, seven brutes appeared out of the shadows, grinning mischeviously.

"Who's Hige?" One said, looking her up and down.

"Yeah! And Toboe?" Another next to him screeched.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I must be mistaken. I guess I'll go now..." Aya said nervouslly, not waiting for a reply and taking off at a fast pace down the street.

"Now, where do you think you're going?" He said, crossing his arms. "C'mere girlie..."

Aya was glad right now for her lack of hearing, really not wanting to hear what they were saying to her, and she fastened her pace.

"Hey! I'm talking to you! I said, 'Now where do you think you're going?' !" He yelled. When she still did not reply or cast a glance his anger level rose. He ran forward grabbing her arm and spinning her back around to face him. "I expect an answer when I ask you a question! What are you! Deaf!"

Aya looked up at him with frightened eyes. "AS A MATTER OF FACT I AM! NOW LET GO OF ME YOU BASTARD!" She yelled, struggling against his grip.

"It ain't happenin' girlie..." He said, grinning evilly again. "Why don't you come play with me?"

Aya shook her head furiously. "NO!" She said, stomping on his toe. "GET AWAY!" With that she took off, not even thinking about where she was going.

"DON'T JUST STAND THERE YOU IDIOTS! GO GET HER DAMMIT!" The man said, his toe throbbing.

They all took off after her, quickly catching up and surrounding her.

"Nowhere to run, girlie... Whatcha gonna do now?" One taunted.

Another laughed at her, glaring at her with cold eyes.

"C'mon now.. We just wanna play..." Said another.

The man who had his foot stomped on walked towards her, his eyes filled with hatred and anger. "You've really pissed me off now..." He said, continuing to advance towards her.

Aya's eyes grew wide as she took a step back everytime he took one forward, until she bumped into one of the other boys. He quickly grabbed her arms as she struggled to get away. Oh my god... This is it... They're gonna rape me and then beat me to death! Her heart began to race as pictures of her ragged body lying in a ditch flashed through her mind. No! I won't die like this!

"HELP!"

Hige stopped suddenly, looking around. "Dammit... Lost her..." He looked around for a moment until a yell for help reached his ears. He turned into his human form and then took off down the street. Shit...

"Yelling isn't going to do you any good... No one lives here anymore... It's completely abandoned... Face it... You're alone..." The boy gripping her arms said, tightening his already death grip on her limbs. She bit her lip as she felt the pain shoot through her body and she dropped to her knees. The boy picked her up once more and faced her towards the obvious leader of the group.

He put his hand under her chin and cackled. "Oh, are we scared now girlie?" He said, laughing again.

"Damn you..." Aya said, spitting into his eye. He fell back a few inches and then glared daggers at her. He raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

Aya took this hit full on and fell to her knees again. Her arms and face stung and her eyes began to water. God... Somebody help me...

Hige skidded to a halt and saw a ring of boys, something obviouslly happening in the middle. He sniffed the air and caught Aya's scent, mixed with the salty smell of tears. Damn it... Thinking for a moment and strategizing a small plan, he ran up to the ring and jumped over the barrier of boys. Landing on the inside he smirked at the surprised faces of the leader.

He took off once again and kicked the boy restraining Aya in the face and he fell backwards, tumbling into another boy behind him. Four more ran at him, quickly joining the other two lying on the ground.

Aya looked up quickly as she felt the grip on her arms release and saw Hige fighting off the brutes.

Hige..?

Hige and the leader of the gang stood and glared at each other for a brief moment before the gang leader charged at him, pulling a pocket knife out of his coat pocket. Hige dodged the attack quickly and jumped over head, landing behind the boy, turning around quickly on his heel and kicking him swiftly in the back.

There was a small crack, seeming to be the soud of the breaking of a spine, and the brute fell to the ground with a thump, laying on the cold cement.

Aya sat dumbfounded for a minute staring at the pile of boys behind her and the gang leader laying motionless on the ground. After a moment Hige walked up to her and offered her a hand. She looked up at him and took it, standing up.

"Hello again!" Hige said, smiling.

Aya smiled fakely in return and said, "Hi... Um.. You're Hige.. Right?" She looked up at him, and wiped her eyes a bit wiping away the tears

Hige nodded. "Yeah. That's me..." He said, raising an eyebrow.

"Well.. Uh... You know I'm Aya... And I was looking through an old photo album of mine... And uh..." She fumbled the words around in her mind as Hige looked at her confused.

"Um..." Aya remembered the photo in her pocket and pulled it out immideatly, carefully unfolding it. "Do you regognize any of these people?" She said, holding out the picture.

Hige raised an eyebrow and carefully took the photo from her. "Uh yeah... That's Kiba... and Tsume and Toboe... And me!" He said grinning. He looked back down at the picture. "And that's... Haru and Leena.. and... I dunno who that last girl is..." He looked back up at her. "How'd you get this..."

Aya looked down at the picture in his hand. "Haru and Leena... They're my brother and sister.." She lifted up a finger and pointed to the small girl next to Hige in the photo. "That's me..."
