Well since I just published my story I'll let you guys off with not reviewing a whole lot, put I still want people to review me each chapter letting me know how I'm doing…the story will really start picking up in the third chapter. And a couple of chapters after that I'm planning on putting something extreme in there, I'd tell you but that would ruin all the fun! So just stick with me…. ---l8ter .

One last thing Tsume's going to act a little nicer to Toboe than in the series because he likes Toboe, but he'll push her away if she starts bothering him too much and he's not going to be all lovey duvy because he has an image to keep up, plus its really not in his character. So their relationship is pretty much going to be a laid back

(I mean by its going to be more humorous then romantic because honestly I can't imagine Tsume being very romantic) as for Hige and Kiba he'll treat them the same.

Chapter 2: "reuniting"

HIGE

About ten minutes back when Toboe had been howling

Walking a couple blocks away from Toboe was Hige.

"Wait a second…"Hige listened intently waiting for another howl.

"Was that… there's no way," said Hige talking to him self. He thought he was just imaging that he heard his old comrade Toboe, so he just pushed him out of his thoughts. (Remember they still think Toboe's a guy)

Hige walked over to the nearest newsstand to buy a paper. Hoping to find a sale at Kroger.

" Well, I don't see anything really on sale… oh, wait a second I think we've got something here," Hige was being so loud that everybody turned around to see what he was so excited about. They all just stood there starring at a Hige that was about to wet his pants over a 10 discount on steaks with your Kroger plus card.

"My precious," whispered Hige in a Smeagol voice, petting the Kroger plus card.

"What is the kids problem? Has he had any crack lately?" asked one of the on lookers.

"Don't know the kid, but by the looks of him he probably just love's food" the man replied, pointing at hige's gut. Finally noticing the awkward silence Hige finally looked over his shoulder, people were starring at him with horrified faces.

" What? Can't a guy get excited when he saves money on steaks?" replied Hige coolly. He turned back around and started walking towards Kroger.

Kiba

At the local park Kiba was silently sleeping under a maple tree. Trying not to attract too much attention since he was in his pure white wolf form. Kiba had grown to like the park; it was kind of a safe refuge. He had come to the city because he had caught a faint scent of his old pack mates. And wanted to rejoin them, and wanted badly to see them alive again. "I'll find you guys…no matter what" he whispered, he drifted of to a light sleep.

Tsume

Tsume was sitting on top of an abandoned warehouse's roof waiting impatiently for Toboe to reply. He spent every night on top of the roof watching the sun set. Today wasn't any different, he also thought of his lost comrades (especially Toboe) even though he wouldn't admit it to himself.

'Well, looks like I have along night ahead of me' thought Tsume. Referring to having to find Toboe. But on the inside he was happy to go find Toboe. He had missed him, which he wouldn't hide from himself. "Better go find the kid before he gets himself killed" he opened the exit door and turned to his wolf form jumping as many steps as he could at one time.

Toboe

Toboe has been unconscious for two hours

(Toboe's a sleep but it's a light sleep) 'Why do I all of a sudden feel warm? And what's that wet thing going across my wounds? Thought Toboe in her sleep.

A few seconds later

'there its is again…wait a second, wet thing?' Toboe now really confused jumped up and spun around to find out what was in her box.

"Ouch…" Toboe whimpered now in pain from jumping up.

Tsume knew something bad had happened to Toboe. One because if her wounds and second because Toboe wouldn't be so skittish around him.

" Who—who are you?" Questioned Toboe. Her mind wasn't functioning great yet because of her condition, and just whacking up. Tsume rolled his eyes, and slowly approached her not wanting to make her more frightened, and licked her muzzle.

" Its me Toboe, Tsume" he replied.

" Tsume!" Toboe turned into her human form and ran into Tsume's arms. (He noticed Toboe running towards him so he turned to his human form too) Toboe let out a yelp of pain 'I need to stop doing that' she thought to herself. She started to cry on his shoulder. He placed his arms around her.

"I'm sorry Tsume" Toboe said trying to get out of Tsume's grasp thinking that he was getting mad at her for touching him. But to her surprise he restrained her from leaving his grasp.

"Shhh, its okay Toboe," Tsume said.

" Where else are you hurt, besides the cut on your side?" questioned Tsume calmly. masking his worry.

" I have another cut on my…my neck, and I think a…a—broken rib too" she said between sobs.

Tsume let go of her and placed his muscular arms on her shoulders and pushed her away from him so he could get a good look at the cut.

He ran his finger tracing the cuts shape.

"That was a close call, you better be glad this guy wasn't a trained killer or you wouldn't be standing here right now" said Tsume being this close to Toboe made him nervous. He backed away a couple of feet from Toboe. 'why does he carry a female's scent?' Tsume thought to himself.

"Tsume what's wrong," Toboe asked noticing the weird looks he was giving her.

"why do you smell like a female?" he asked accusingly.

" it doesn't matter, aren't you going to give me one of those lecture's telling me that I could have been killed and your not always going to be there for me?" asked Toboe with her eyebrow up, trying to avoid the question that Tsume had just asked her.

" why would I do that? Its no like I care for y… besides I already told you, you could have been killed" Tsume said starring up at the cardboard box's ceiling like it was the most interesting thing in the world. He stopped being affectionate because he knew that it wasn't right for him to act that way towards Toboe since he was a male too, plus he didn't want Toboe to know how he really felt towards him. When he looked back at Toboe he could see his eyes were like pools that were about to drain. Toboe was about to break back down into tears at what he just said, and he had just got the kid to stop crying "all that wasted effort" Tsume sighed. 'nice going Tsume' said Tsume's mind mockingly. 'now he's going to think you don't care for him which is the complete opposite'

"shut up!" he yelled, Toboe just starred at him like had lost his mind because she hadn't said anything.

' This is turning into a big freaking mess, I'm out of here'

"see you around kid" Tsume said before he sprinted off still in his human form.

"Tsume" she yelled. But he just ignored her.

"well in till we meet again" whispered Toboe before she fell unconscious this time from emotional stress.

Hope you guys like it, anyways we're almost to where they all reunite.
