Toboe and Hige

At the enormous Collin Mall two teenagers or what appeared to be teenagers could be seen running for they're young lives. Closely followed by a silver headed guy.

" How far away is he now?" asked Hige smiling.

Toboe turned around to look at their prosier, he was catching up fast. 'I don't know how much longer I can keep this up,' thought Toboe. (Broken rib)

"Well I can't say that he's having trouble keeping up," replied Toboe sarcastically, because they had quickly tired out.

Tsume

Tsume had already noticed there pace had dropped, and picked up speed.

Toboe and Hige

"Hige!" yelled Toboe as she swerved through the crowd. Hige looked back at Toboe.

"Yeah what is it," replied Hige when she caught up. The look Hige had on his face told her everything… he was enjoying ditching Tsume while at the same time fearing for his life.

" We – I mean I can't keep this up, I have a broken rib," replied Toboe embarrassed that she was acting like a runt again.

"You should have told me that earlier," sighed Hige.

"We can still ditch him, all we have to do is find Hot Topic. Cause I highly doubt he'll think to look in there," Toboe said.

"Okay its just at the end of this section," replied Hige pointing at the end. Toboe looked at the end.

"You are so trying to kill me," sighed Toboe as her hand meet her face again.

"Better start running as fast as you can Hige, because we want the element of surprise," said Toboe as she started to run again. Hige just stood with a confused look on his face.

" Element of surprise? What element of surprise?" whispered Hige. A sudden gush of wind hit him. 'Huh?' he turned around to try to figure out what had just happened and saw Tsume only 7 meters away.

"No way!" he yelled. And turned back around and started his pitiful so called run. He saw a slim figure running in front of him going extremely fast. ' Toboe?' thought Hige. ' Toboe's the one that made that gust?' Hige thought a second. 'He wait a second Toboe looks like a girl!' thought Hige as he started chuckling 'I'll have to bother him about that later,' he thought.

After a fat burning run to Hot Topic

"Well we made it," said Toboe breaking the silence when they walked in. Hige was panting hard and had his arms on his knees.

"Tell me again why you picked here instead of Hollister because I really can't picture you in any of these cloths," chuckled Hige.

"Uhh no… I'm not shopping in there and you can't make me!" replied Toboe with a disgusted look on her face.

"Humm… what should Toboe get to make Tsume attracted to him?" Hige laughed.

"That's a good question," replied Toboe not realizing that she had said it aloud.

"What?" asked Hige his eyed growing big.

'Well how am I going to get out of this one? I don't want Hige to think I'm Gay or BI again and I don't want to tell him I'm a girl yet…But shouldn't I tell him? I mean he is my friend after all,' thought Toboe.

"Forget it I'll tell you later," covered Toboe. She walked over to the black baggie pants that she saw on the billboard and looked at the price tag $35

'Well one things for certain its cheaper then Hollister,' Toboe thought.

Then she walked over to the top section. She noticed a brown top that didn't fit snug tight. 'Well at least the guys won't be able to notice anything,' thought Toboe to herself. She walked into the dressing room. She slowly took her shirt of not wanting to stretch her ribs too far. She looked down at her stomach where her scar was. (In wolf form its on her side, and in human form its on her stomach) she traced the scar with her finger. 'In a way its kinda cool' she thought to herself. ' I finally have a scar to tell of my adventures' she took her eyes of the scar and put the top on, and looked at her chest. And turned from her left side to the right examining her chest making sure it wasn't too noticeable. ' Looks fine' she thought. Then she put the pants on.

'Nice'

She decided to keep her commando boots. 'They'll come in handy if I have any trouble whether it be from wolf or human,' she started laughing at the thought of Hige and possibly Tsume checking her out and giving her trouble. She walked out of the dressing room and walked over to a rack that had jewelry on it. She started at the top then made her way down. So far she hadn't seen anything in her taste. Right when she was about to go get Hige she ran into a black choker that had blue spikes on it.

'Nice, kinda reminds be of the dog collar blue wore' Toboe decided to get it along with a monkey balls necklace. She walked over to the counter and put her cloths down and paid for them. The cash register guy had an earring at the top of his ear.

"I like the earring," Toboe said trying to be friendly.

"…" He just starred at her like she was crazy.

'Whatever' she started to walk over to Hige when she noticed that a silver haired guy had just walked in with golden eyes that seemed to be searching for something…or someone.

"Great" whispered Toboe "The games all over," she slowly started to back away slowly hoping not to attract any attention.

Hige

He smelled a familiar scent. 'Tsume' smiled Hige. 'To bad I can't tell him about Toboe right now since I'm a ditching him at the moment, by the way where's Toboe we need to get out of here before we're caught'. He started to walk around sniffing the air. 'Gotcha' he slowly approached her trying to make his presence unnoticed.

Hige quickly grabbed a hold of Toboe

"Hey what the-, Hige covered her mouth just in time because Tsume started looking in their direction.

"Come on we need to get out of here" whispered Hige into Toboe's ear. She turned around

"Hige I need to change first then we'll leave," replied Toboe. They silently made their way to the dressing room. Toboe picked out a dressing room in the far back. She was about to shut the door when it wouldn't shut she turned around to see Hige coming in.

"Hige you can't come in here!" she whispered.

"Why not we're both guys right," Hige said matter-of-factly.

'Wouldn't you like to know' thought Toboe. Toboe sighed

"All right but just turn around and don't look at me I swear if you do then I'll kill you!" whispered Toboe almost yelling. 'Why do I always manage to get myself in these messes?' she thought to herself. Hige turned around and starred at the door. 'Why does he care so much? Its not like he had something to hide… or does he?' thought Hige. Curiosity was killing Hige so he turned around. His eyes went huge with horror and his face went as white as a ghost.

"Oh my Gawd!" yelled Hige when he saw Toboe with her black pants on that she had just bought and she was just about to put on her shirt when she looked in the mirror to find Hige starring at her.

"Oh no" whispered Toboe.

Tsume

Tsume heard yelling that sounded a lot like Hige. ' It sounds like it came from the changing room,' thought Tsume.

Kiba

Kiba had just eaten his fill at the hot dog stand when he caught a faint scent of something familiar… "Hige" thought Kiba. He started following the dieing scent down a street when the scent turned of to the right he read the sign

"Collin Dr"

" He's probably at the mall," thought Kiba. He sniffed the air again it was accompanied by the smell of Toboe too. 'So they came together'. Right then he heard a gun being fired at him. It happened so sudden that his wolf reflexes didn't even have time to react. The bullet had just barley hit the pierced the skin on his arm. He turned to face where the bullet had come from. There standing right in front of him was Quent and his half-breed Blue.
