Kasumi!...

"Kasumi, what have I told you about playing in the river?" A womans voice echoed.

"Sorry mommy" A little fluffed up black wolf with white socks and tips walked out of the shallow end of the river.

" Yes well someday sorry isnt going to be good enough, one day that river is going to sweep you away like it did your grandfather." The wolf mother bellowed.

"Yes mommy." The little wolf shook off the extra beeds of water.

"Aw ma, give it a rest." Another, older looking wolf came up.

"Tetsuke, dont give me that. My son, of all people should know his little sister could be gone in an instant with that fast of current!"The mothers voice raised.

"Calm down, I know I know..." Tetsuke says, but whispers in Kasumi's ear... "Go near the rocks, she wont find you there, I'll meet you later".He says with a wink.

Kasumi nods and waddles off.

-FLASH-

"TETSUKE!" Kasumi screames "TETSUKE!". She ran around the feild, looking for her brother. She started to whine as she searched the forest floor. "Were are you...?" She flopped down to the ground, as the flames practecly ingulfed her, and she whent into a world of darkness.

-Blackout-

"Kasumi?" Cheza called out, as she ran torwards her. Kasumi was laying in the grass surrounded by wild flowers. She mumbled: 5 more minutes here and there, but finnaly woke up.

"Where am I?" She said, looking at her surroundings. It was sun-down, and she just noticed she was laying up hill. she looked down, and saw a man with white hair, teasing the boy that looked like a pup. The slightly chubbier then all was walking up to her.

"Hey, you doing okay?" He said, with a warm smile on his face. She nodded, and held her head. "Headache huh?" He asked, and she nodded with a groan.

"I'm Hige...The one with the white hair is Tsume, the runts name is Toboe, and she's-"He points to the girl next to her."-Shes Cheza"

"This one is happy to meet you" Cheza smiled lovingly. Kesumi smiled back, inhaling the most wonderful scent.

"Im Kesumi" She said, her eyes glimmering.Another man, with a reble look to him, came walking up to the chatting group.

"Hello Kesumi, I over heard...Im Kiba" He says. Kesumi looks at him admiringly.

"Im sorry for all the trouble...I must be in the way...I'll go..." She says, patting off her back side once she got up, her voice was beutiful, as soft as silk. She smiled.

"Thank you." She said as she hugged Cheza.

"But this one doesnt want Kesumi to leave. Is Kesumi alone? This one wants Kesumi to come to..." Cheza started to have little beeds of tears run down her cheeks. Kesumi was surprised at her actions, and looked at the ground.

"But its...It's not my place..."She said, and let go of Cheza.

"Kiba will let Kesumi stay, wont he?" Cheza said in a pleeding voice. Kiba's eyes got a little wide at this. After a while, he nodded and said:

"We are going to paradise." As Kesumi let go of Cheza once more.

"Thats were I was going in the first place..." She said smiling, and Cheza smiled once more.

"This one is happy that Kesumi gets to travel with us!" She smiled wider, as Tsume and Toboe walked up. Tsume just looked at her, and stared into her eyes. Toboe walked up to her and started sniffing.

"Heh heh! Is she coming to?" Toboe asked. Kiba nodded, and Tsume walked over to another area.

"Just what we need...A girl!" He growled. 'But...somthings different...' He looked over to her. She looked back at him, catching him staring at her oddly. She smiled, and made Tsume blush...BLUSH! (A/N: Heeeee .). She giggled as he growled again and turned his head, mumbling about how more complicated this journey is going to be. Well...He doesnt know the half of it.
