Thanx to all loyal reviewers and people that put me on there favorites list it really means a lot so I thought I would tell you guyz thanx, and up date!

I'm sure you already figured it out but I thought I would tell you anyways that Toboe has a major crush on Tsume, and you'll soon find out just how much Tsume likes Toboe…

Toboe

Golden rays were leaking through the dark skies; dawn was on its way.

Toboe had a restless night (Gee we can only guess why that is). The sun was almost in the middle of the sky when Toboe was awakened by the pain in her side and her stomach screaming at her trying to get the point across that she couldn't go any longer with out food, she started to panic.

' First, need to find food' trying to think clearly was becoming more of a challenge each minute that passed.

Toboe tried to stand up too quickly

"Ouch!" whimpered Toboe as she felt something rip open. Getting up too quickly had made the delicate scar tissue that was starting to form on her side open to revile a deep gash with a trickle of blood flowing down her side, staining her fur that had already been cleaned by Tsume.

'Tsume' the name tugged at her heart.

'No, I won't think about him today. Today I'm strong and independent and can do with out him and the others,' she thought independently. With that being said she started her 'independent' search for food. Where a wolf once stood was a teenager, with short strawberry colored hair and brown eyes that simmered. The red jacket that she was wearing was a now dark red with rips on the side; her green pants were in similar condition.

She slowly made her way to the near by sidewalk. The city was a little too crowed for her liking 'but you do what you have to'. Where trees should be stood tall buildings. The air was polluted and pail looking as usual. While taking in her surroundings she noticed a huge billboard that had black baggie pants with pockets and zippers on the bottom left hand side, in bold black and red letters read

"Hot Topic"

"Hot Topic? Where's that at?" she said aloud.

"Over on Collin Dr," said someone behind her.

She turned around to come face to face with a guy that was around 17 (or at least she thought) he had honey colored hair with eyes to match his hair. His voice was light instead of deep like Tsume's. 'Stop thinking of Tsume!' her mind screamed at her.

"Hige? Hige is that you?" questioned Toboe.

"Yeah, what are you doing looking for Hot Topic? I would have never guessed that it would be up your alley," he said now entertained.

"Well I thought I would go for a new look, is that a problem?" she replied. 'And so hopefully Tsume will notice me,' she finished in her mind.

"No, I guess not. Can I go with you? I think it would be interesting to see what you pick out," laughed Hige.

"Hey!" she ran over and hit him on the head.

" Yeah I guess I do need a guide, I just came here from a near by city looking for you guys," said Toboe.

"Well come on," said Hige already a couple of feet ahead of Toboe. As soon as she caught up he asked the dreaded question

"So have you found Tsume yet?" he asked messing with her.

"Don't you mean Tsume and Kiba yet" she replied now frightened that he knew how she felt towards Tsume. Hige noticed that she was starting to sweat.

"Oh come on Toboe I'm not as stupid as I look, I know you have feelings for Tsume from the beginning" said Hige bluffing. Toboe felt like a wolf cornered, and the question was so sudden she felt her eyes go as big as dinner plates.

"How did you know?" shouted Toboe.

It was Hige's turn to be shocked.

"You do!" he said laughing.

"You just said you knew" she replied. He just shook his head trying to hold back another laugh. Toboe finally took notice that he had been bluffing. She took her hand and hit it on her forehead, and groaned. Hige just stood there starring at Toboe with a stupid looking smile on his face enjoying every minute.

"So does this mean your gay or bi?" asked Hige out of nowhere. Toboe took her hand off her face.

" Gay? Bi sexual?" Questioned Toboe still not thinking clearly.

" Yeah ya know gay or bi sexual, because you're a guy and Tsume's a guy," said Hige matter-of-factly.

"Umm I don't feel comfortable talking about this," said Toboe (referring to the pressure of her being a female pretending to be a male, but Hige doesn't know that)

"Okay fine don't tell me, but I can't wait to find Tsume and tell him the good news!" said Hige laughing as he ran trying to escape Toboe's furry.

"Hige you better keep your mouth shut or I swear I'll kill you!" she said laughing as she chased Hige. 'It's good to be back with Hige,' thought Toboe smiling at the thought of how much she had missed being with her pack. Hige looked back at Toboe to see just how close he was to hitting him when he saw a dazed look on his face 'probably thinking of Tsume' thought Hige and he started to crack up again. Toboe heard Hige laughing.

"What's your problem?" she asked.

" Nothing, just thinking about how I should break the news to Tsume" replied Hige coolly. Hige turned around and was about to start running again when he noticed a sign that read "Collin Dr."

"We're here," announced Hige proudly that he hadn't gotten them lost.

Toboe looked up to see a humongous building that was the mall.

"I hope you know your way around Hige cause other wise we're screwed," said Toboe laughing at the thought of Hige getting them lost.

"Ha ha your so hilarious," replied Hige sarcastically.

About an hour of walking around aimlessly

Toboe and Hige were exhausted from walking around so much. Hige was panting hard when he sat down with a 'thud' on the planter's concrete edge in front of

Hollister.

"Why don't you just get cloths in there?" asked Hige while pointing at the store. Toboe was standing up with her hands on her hips just starring into nowhere or at least it looked like she was looking at nothing but she was actually looking for Tsume. She had caught a faint scent of him and she had been on her guard ever since.

"Huh?" asked Toboe not hearing his comment.

" I knew it, you caught his scent too," Toboe looked at Hige with a shocked look on her face. But Hige couldn't see it because he had his eyes shut while smiling.

"I guess I'll just have to find him in a minute since we have to find Hot Topic," sighed Hige.

"Oh no you won't," replied Toboe.

" Just watch me," replied Hige smiling. 'Crap there he is!' thought Toboe when she caught a glimpse of the silver haired man. Toboe just stood there starring. 'Not now'.

"Hey isn't that him? Hey Tsume over here," Yelled Hige jumping up and down with his hands waving at Tsume. 'Crap' Toboe's mind screamed.

Tsume

'What the hell?' thought Tsume when he saw a guy jumping up and down. 'Wait a second isn't that Toboe and Hige?"

He quickened his pace.

Toboe and Hige

"Come on Hige," yelled Toboe playfully as she grabbed his arm.

"Lets see if the almighty Tsume can hunt us down," she finished. Hige was grinning ear to ear, at the thought of trying to ditch Tsume.

"He's going to be really pissed ya know," replied Hige.

"All the more fun," replied Toboe laughing, as they started to run full blast.

Tsume

'What the hell is going on' thought Tsume as he chased after them.

'Oh, there playing around. Well when I catch them there going to remember not to mess with me' he thought to himself with a smirk on his face.

"Its on!" he whispered when he saw Hige and Toboe turn around and stick they're tongue's at him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well that's it for now… what will happen now? Will Tsume catch up to our juvenile delinquents and give them what they deserve?

Will Toboe ever make it to Hot Topic? All answers will be reveled in the next chapter of course! kiba will be in the next chapter -sorry
