Many times has Kasumi wonderd if she would ever travel with other companions. At first she thought they would just be in her way. Yet, now she felt she was in their's. She would blush all the time, but she was quiet. Whenever Toboe would try to strike up a conversation, she would giggle, at his silly-ness, or just nod, maybe say "Yes...How nice...Or Nuh-uh". Hige...Well Higes just Hige, and Im sure we ALL know what he trys to do (note :What a pretty young lady you are . flirt flirt , but it didnt bother her as greatly as it did the other members.

"Kasumi...Where did you come from?" Toboe asked gleefully. Kasumi came to an ubrupt stop, her eyes shooting wide for a while, and then slowly going a bit lightless...

"Be-Chan...I dont...Remember..." She said looking down at him, no emotion on her face. Every body looked at her, Tsume with a sneer on his face...

'BE-CHAN! SHE BARLY KNOWS HIM!' He thought, clenching his fist... (A/N Its pronounced (Bay-Chan), except with out the very long Y sound . I love it...). She smiled and continued walking with Cheza, whom was (oddly) skipping.

Night fall

Kasumi felt like she was in an all out tug of war...Toboe wanted to sleep with her...(A/N: NOT THAT WAY!) And then Cheza wanted to sleep with her, then Hige wanted to sleap with her (A/N: Yes that way TT). She decided to sleap by herself, because Toboe dropped like a light bulb, Hige...Again she just didnt want to sleap with Hige...For...Ehem Obviouse reasons. Then theirs Cheza, and she was sleaping with Kiba. She felt she should leave them be. She looked at Tsume, but he looked at her back, and he had that look in his eyes that said Hell No And she slept on a mound of rubble. She closed her eyes, and sighed off to sleap. She took one last look at the group before blacking out. 'This wont last for long...' She thought and she was out.

"Mmmm...You know you like it like that..."Hige mumbled. It was dawn, and every body was still asleap.

"Granny...Fetch?" Toboe yelped in his sleap.

" Mmmm..." Kasumi moaned. She wasnt on her rubble pile...She was warm...She smelled somthing good...It wasnt flowers...It wasnt humans...It was a personality smell...A scent that describes a being. Its owner was un-known, yet she wanted to wayed in it... She snuggled closer the the warm body. She smiled, and heard a groan.

She turned her head, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the descovery of her favorite scent. Her eyes shot open, mouth agape, and her body was hurtled in a little ball in secondes... She was sweating MISSLES by now, and she wanted to get away...as far as she could! Her head wasnt facing his direction, and she heard a sound...Rustling could be heard, and she felt an arm snake around her side. Her eyes got wider, (A/N: Like a Big Fish! shutters at the word fish They watch me at night 00) and her breathing hitched.

She couldnt believe this was happening to her...And why was she there in the first place? She ponderd over this, until she felt eyes on her. She looked over, noticing the other wolves where up. My god...She thought, and grabbed a rock... 'I have to...' she said, her eyes squinted shut... 'FORGIVE ME!' She slammed the rock into the notified sleeper, just enough to keep him down...although the little trickles of blood wasnt convincing her.

She ran to her little pile of rubble, tripping on a stone, falling flat on her face. "Umph" Was her responce, and she slowly got back up. Toboe was above her, and he handed her a hand, smiling, saying "You should be more carefull, or you'll get hurt..." He smiled. She sighed and eccepted the offerd hand. She pat herself off, and looked at Toboe.

"Hey, thanks" She said with a smile. Toboe blushed. and said "No problem..." and asked her why she fell.

"Simple," She said shrugging, "I fell of the mound of rubble...And I fell on my face...Ebarassingly but I did." She said looking to the ground. Toboe looked at her like he was going to bust his head off from laughing, but he kept it in. Besides, the mound of rubble was only a 1' 1/2'' tall. He knew she was fibbing, but he didnt know the source. So he mentaly shrugged it off, and started chasing some butterflies. She looked at him, smiled, and joined him. She couldnt catch any, and it was almost frustrating. Then Toboe said "Dont think of it as a survivle skill, just think of it as a game for once." He said, pouncing on one. She looked at the butterfly infront of her, and said,

"A game?" She smiled, having victory of pouncing on the butterfly. "Isn't it fun?" Toboe asked. She smiled at him, and nodded. "Yeah...fun..." She looked at the ground sadly...

'But how long will it last...? How long until I somehow betray them...Or if they dont want me any more because I slow them down? How long...can this happiness...Last...?' She sighed and plopped down on her back, into the yellow,blue and white flowers.

"I want it to last forever..." She looked at the sky, and snatched a butterfly in her palm.

"Forever...Is an awfley long time..." Toboe said, laying down beside her.

"But with the time I have, why not spend it on somthing worth while? Happiness...Its all I want...To live within the paradise walls of freedom..." She said, looking at the butterfly, it stayed, slowly fluttering its wings.

She dosed off...

'When will this happiness end? Or...When will the most eternal...Begin?'
