Here's the next chapter R&R.

Cry of a flower maiden

Chapter 11: pieces of a shooting star, part 2: Toboe's rage and Haru's courage.

Cher listened as blue hummed the lullaby of cheza and Haru while she was driving, then she just had to ask something. Tell me, how did you and that old man get separated? Cher questioned. Are you that strong because you're a wolf? I guess. Blue replied. The thing that pops hates the more than anything is what I am. But you've been at his side this whole time right? Cher questioned. I'm sorry this is strange to me I've never had a conversation with an animal before.

If I had been able to do this sooner, I could have been able to talk to pops about anything. Blue replied. Are you kidding he would have passed out from shock. Cher said. Shouldn't you be looking for him? It's ok for now I'll save cheza. Blue replied. That's what you're after to right? Or are you trying to save Mr. Sensitive? Blue asked referring to hubb.

A little bit of both I guess. Cher replied. I don't know, there are still some things we can't right.

(Wolves and Haru)

The wolves walked up to a steep hill, Toboe gasped in amazement as he saw the huge frozen ocean with some pieces of ice floating around. Is this an ocean? Toboe questioned? It's an ice flow. Kiba replied. What's an ice flow? Toboe questioned. A frozen sea. Tsume answered. We're gonna walk across this? Haru questioned. Yeah we have to. Kiba replied.

Tsume held Haru by the hand as they jumped down the hill, as Toboe jumped down his hand/paw went into the water. It's cold! Toboe shouted. Hey runt you know we're on top of water right? Hige questioned sarcastically. Hmph I know that let's go. Toboe said running ahead. What are you waiting for? Hurry up this cold feels great.

What the hell is he so happy about? It's freezing. Hige said. He is such a pup tsume replied. Haru was begging to feel tired. This cold was getting to her and she hadn't basked in a while. She folded her arms around her self trying to get warm. Haru what's wrong? Tsume questioned. Huh...oh it's nothing. Let's go. Haru said walking off ahead were Toboe was. Kiba narrowed his eyes he could tell she was lying. Haru was different from cheza so much.

(Later)

Tsume held Haru as they jumped over the cliff. Toboe was the only one who didn't jump and looked down at the bottom of the steep cliff. Hey what are you waiting for? Are you scared? Hige shouted from the other side of the cliff. No I was just getting ready to jump! Toboe shouted. As Toboe jumped to the other side of the cliff, as he land he slipped on the ice falling in a pile of something in the snow.

Toboe here let me help you. Haru said looking very weak and tired, as she held her hand out. Thanks. Toboe said taking her hand as she helped him up. Haru you don't look so well. Are you o.k.? Toboe asked. Yeah I'm fine. Haru replied lying, she didn't want to hold them back just because she needed to bask and because of the fact she was cold.

Toboe turned as he noticed a pile of bones. Are these all bird bones? Toboe questioned picking one up. Not even a scrap of meat left. Hige said taking it from Toboe examining it for any left meat. Don't worry we should find something at the town up ahead. Kiba said. Yeah the sooner we get out of here the sooner we can eat. Tsume replied as Haru leaned her head on his shoulder. Hey Toboe you still in one piece.

Of course I am. Let's go. Toboe said running ahead. Oh come on birds where are you? Hige said looking up at the sky. Later on the wolves were all running ahead but Haru and Toboe had fallen behind. Hey runt come on! You and Haru are falling behind! Hige shouted from afar.

The all stopped while Haru and Toboe caught up with them and saw different skeletons of animals. I've got a bad feeling about this. Tsume said. It's like a junkyard for bones. Hige said. That may be but we still have to pass through it. Kiba replied.

Figures you'd say that. Hige said. Then he noticed Toboe's arm bleeding. Toboe what happened to your arm? Oh I must have bumped into something it's just a scratch. Toboe replied. Maybe we should take care of it kiba said. Don't baby me I said I'm fine. Toboe replied.

Then Haru stumbled over tsume. Haru! Tsume shouted in concern helping her up. Her breathing was very heavy. This cold must be getting to you. Tsume said. She hasn't basked in awhile, we should rest and wait till she's done. Kiba said.

Later on the wolves watched as Haru basked. Even though the water was cold it felt good for her. I didn't want to hold them back...but I guess I did a good job of doing that. Haru thought. No more distractions. I can't keep doing this.

(Later on afterwards)

As the wolves ran Haru and Toboe were still behind. As they ran Toboe began to feel more tired. He and Haru were way behind now. As Toboe jumped over the small floating ice he tripped and fell. Hey runt! You ok over there! Hige shouted. Yeah I'm fine thanks for asking. Toboe replied sarcastically. As Haru helped Toboe up they began to her a large bang and the ice began to rumble.

What the hell was that? Hige questioned. Then a huge walrus came to the surface breaking the ice. Tsume ran up to Haru pulling her back before she could fall in. Toboe get out of the water! Hige shouted. As Toboe pulled himself back on the ice the huge walrus appeared in front of them roaring. Kiba and tsume transformed to their wolf forms and jumped on the walrus biting into its flesh.

The walrus knocked off tsume and kiba. Kiba reverted back to his human form as he hit the ice wall. He screamed in pain as the walrus thrashed one of its tusks into one of kiba's legs. (A/N: that had to hurt.) Kiba! Shouted Hige transforming to his wolf form as he and tsume attacked the walrus again. Kiba gritted his teeth in pain as he pulled one of the tusks out his leg.

Toboe and Haru just sat there in fear. No...I won't...I won't. Haru thought remembering all the time she could never do anything, all those time they were hurt because of her and cheza. She wanted to fight to. I WON'T HOLD THE BACK ANY LONGER! Haru shouted. As Haru and Toboe ran to attack the walrus there was something different about Haru. She was no longer the Haru they once saw was now a silverfish white wolf (A/N: I told you I was gonna make her do something impossible.lol)

The walrus roared in pain as Toboe bit him in the eye, Haru biting him on his neck. The walrus knocked off Hige and tsume throwing them into the water. Tsume and Hige reverted back to their human forms as they came back to the surface. Are you all right? Kiba questioned running up to them. Yeah wheres Haru and Toboe! Tsume shouted. They all looked up to see two wolves clinging to the walrus as it struggled to get them off swinging through the water and crashing through ice.

Haru and Toboe refused to let go as the walrus went under water hitting the ground, but still they refused to let go. As the walrus jumped to the surface kiba and the others looked on in shock as the walrus crashed threw ice going back in the water.

(Few mins. After)

Why is it taking them so long to come back up? Hige questioned. Tsume was panicking. He was wondering if Haru really was that silverfish white wolf he had seen. Or were his eyes playing tricks on him.

Just then the walrus came to the surface walking slowly onto the ice, knocking off two wolves. One landing gracefully on the ice, the falling in the water as the walrus collapsed to the ground. Toboe reverted back to his human form as the others ran up to him. Toboe are you ok? Hige questioned. What got into you? Toboe dropped to his knees sighing. Something happened...and then...I don't know it was like something inside of me snapped all of the sudden. Toboe replied.

The wolves looked in shock as a silverfish white wolf came up from the water. Is...that Haru? Hige questioned. I don't know but I did see her attack the walrus. Toboe replied. Tsume looked the wolf up and down and gasped as he noticed something. Lavender eyes. Tsume thought. It is her. He said. But how is that possible flower maidens can't turn into wolves can they? Hige questioned. That noble had said that Haru was also injected with wolf DNA. Kiba said. (A/N: for all you people that are just finding out you must have not been paying attention in chapter 5.)

Because of her determination to fight that must have awakened the DNA deep inside her. Enabling her the ability to turn into a wolf. Kiba said. As Haru reverted to her regular self she dropped to her knees just looking down at her hands. Haru! Tsume shouted running up to her embracing her in a hug. Are you all right?

What just happened to me? Haru questioned. Was I a wolf? Kiba nodded his head. Yeah you were. I...could remember all those times when I wasn't able to fight back. All those times...when everyone was hurt because of me and cheza. Haru said. I don't want it to be like that anymore. And I guess some part inside my mind heard that. It was the wolf DNA. Kiba said. What? Haru questioned. That's what enabled you to do that. Kiba replied.

Good job Haru. If it wasn't for you and Toboe we would have all been dead right now. Hige said. Haru smiled, this was exactly how she wanted it to be. You must be joking. Not once have I ever been defeated on this island. The walrus said who was still lying on the ground. I have been here protecting it for years until I was the only one left. The walrus said. In this world its kill or be killed. But understand this; I will not die a victim. I am...going to...save you. The walrus said with its final words dying.

Hige's stomach began to growl and he was about to go start eating the walrus but was stopped by kiba. Hige. Kiba said stopping him. Kiba bent down and touched Toboe's shoulder to get his attention. I know Haru doesn't eat but, it yours and Haru's kill so you eat first. Kiba said.

Toboe nodded turning to his wolf form while the others did the same, and he walked up to the walrus and began eating. As tsume walked with the others to eat Haru grabbed his arm gently. Tsume...when we continue are journey can you carry me please. Haru asked weakly. Tsume nodded and kissed her on her forehead. Haru smiled and watched as they ate.

(Jagara's keep)

As cheza was hooked up to the oval water tank, Jagara sat at a dining table. I tell you now the words of red moon. Jagara said. From man was born the wolf and man became its messenger. (It was hard to memorize all that when I was watching it but I did it yea!! All right back to the story.) The white flower after winning the lord of the night we will share he scent Jagara said. But I must have both flower maidens they will open paradise for me.

Cheza opened her eyes slightly as she saw one of the men next to Jagara open a dish revealing meat from a wolf. And the other poured the blood of the wolf. Cheza's eyes widened and she let out an eerie screech.

Only then will appear the retched beast.

A/N: these past weeks I haven't had time to write at all. but I might take me awhile to get the other ones up because what I'm gonna do is type all the next chapters one at a time and the I'll update them all so you don't have to wait for them one by one. I saw wolf's rain this weekend at it was so sad how Cher died. I never liked hubb that much but I felt bad for him, I was in tears it was so sad. Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter R&R.

Next chapter: Jagara's city, Haru captured.
