Chapter Four:Arranged Deal

In the morning Kiba was greeted by Tsume who opened the door a little more roughly then he had intended to do; he had a bone to pick with Kiba. Kiba stood up from the bed and looked a Tsume. Tsume glancing at Kiba then turned and closed the door.

"Is there something you want Tsume?" Kiba asked not knowing what Tsume's intentions were.

"Not much just two thing. I wanted to know if you and Hige enjoyed your snooping last night and the other thing is why haven't we left yet, I thought you would of wanted to leave early in the morning," Tsume said casually as if this was just a normal conversation.

"Kaya came in my room early this morning and asked if we would stay for a while longer, she said she wanted to get to know us better," Kiba said coolly.

"I wouldn't expect you to be so easily persuaded by a girl to stay longer, after all the thing you care for more than anything is Cheza... isn't it?"

"I'm staying cause she might know something about Cheza and we haven't had any good rest for a while now so one or two more day should be okay." Kiba said a little of the coolness in his voice going away.

"You still didn't answer my first question, Kiba. Did you enjoy ease-dropping on..."

"Tama, hello," Kiba said as the door opened and Tama walked in with Toboe and Hige.

"Hello, I was going to ask if you'd like to come with Kogaku and me to the village that is near here. When Shita comes to visits, Kaya usually go with her to it and then comes back before the sun sets."

"What will we do over there?" Toboe asked.

"Nothing you need to know. You'll be staying here with Yuka and the others," Tama answered ruffling Toboe's hair.

"Aw, why can't I go?"

"It's grownup stuff, maybe if you were older." Tama said smiling as Toboe pouted.

"We'll go," Kiba said not looking at Tsume.

Tama smirked at Kiba then said, "lets get going then," as he put his hands in the pockets of his jacket. Hige walked out past Tama, Tsume sighed and left after him. Toboe looked at Kiba and Tama then he decided to leave and find Yuka since he wasn't allowed to go. Kiba looked at Tama who was smiling at him.

"Where is Kaya?"

"She's already at the village with Oki and Shita," Tama said as he walked into the hall.

"She's already there...why are we going there, what are we going to do over there?" Kiba asked as he followed Tama into the hall.

"You'll find out soon enough so just be patient, you'll get to see our leader at her best is all I'm going to tell ya and the reason for ya guys going is to let you guys get out of the house is all." Tama answered looking at Kiba with a smirk.

"To get out of the house?" Kiba asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, ya know. To get some new surrounding's. Thought you guys might be getting tired of seeing the same thing after the amount of traveling ya do, I guess." Tama said shrugging then seeing that Kiba was done talking continued with a simple, " Well shall we go?"

Kiba nodded and Tama led the way. Tsume and Hige were waiting in front of the house. Tsume seemed a little madder than usual but noone said anything about it. They waled down the same path that got Kiba's group to the house then they came to the same dirt road the group had been traveling on before. Tama started to walk down it with the others following. Tama stopped, put his hand out in front of him and lifted his thumb. Kiba raised an eyebrow at Tama as he moved his hand back and forth. A car drove by and Tama cured it then another came by and stopped. Tama leaned forward when the window was opened. "Hey pal the roads kinda long to go on if your traveling by foot. Wanna give us a rid to town?" Tama asked in a happy- go- lucky manner. The man nodded, Tama smiled at the others and told them to get in; he and Kogaku immediately took the seat in the front with the driver.

"So what are you three guys going to town for?" The man asked not looking at any of them in particular.

"Oh just some sight seeing?" Tama said smiling a little more to himself than to the man in front with him.

"Thought so. You guys are going to the fight aren't you?"

"What fight?" Kiba asked looking at the back of the man's head.

"The one that goes on every three months."

"A fight that goes on every three months?" Hige stopped looking out of the window and asked, now looking at the man in front.

"Oh maybe I was wrong," The man said in a casual tone.

"No you weren't. I was just hoping to surprise my friends here. They don't see things like this every day." Tama said looking at the three in the back; Kiba was in the middle of Tsume and Hige.

"Oh how very interesting," The man said with a little chuckle.

"Well since we know why were going to town, why don't you explain this fight," Tsume said in his usual irritated tone.

"Well ya see guys, um... there's this girl that has to fight a certain amount of people and if she wins she gets a real big prize so she fights," Tama said still looking at the three in the back.

"Yup, and people make bets and stuff on the girl and her partner," Kogaku added to Tama's words.

"What happens to the girl if she loose's?" Kiba asked a little reluctant to here the answer.

"Noone know, she's never lost since it started," Tama's voice sounded a little smug.

"Yeah that's right, and I heard that in the fight she was in last time her and her partner got out of the fight practically unscathed," Kogaku said with a tone of smugness in his voice as well.

"Is this girl you talking about Ka..." Tsume started to ask but Kogaku interrupted by announcing that they were at their destination.

The five men got out of the car, Tama gave his thanks to the man and he drove off into the town. Kiba, Tsume and Hige followed behind Tama and Kogaku. The town wasn't very populated and most of the people in the town seemed to be a shady bunch. The thought of the people not being that welcoming to outsiders was confirmed as a very large muscular man (lets call him Mr. Macho) accidentally bumped into Kiba making him stumble a little back. Kiba ignored the contact and kept walking.

"Hey chump, you should watch were your going," Mr. Macho shouted to Kiba's back.

Kiba ignored him still, this made the man very angry. Mr. Macho walked to Kiba and put his hand on Kiba's shoulder; spinning Kiba around to face him. Kiba looked at Mr. Macho with those big emotionless blue eyes of his. Mr. Macho looked at him and got annoyed at the look Kiba was giving him and at the fact Kiba wasn't showing any emotion.

"You should apologize to me for bumping into me." Mr. Macho demanded.

"Why should I? I did nothing to you," Kiba said with a voice that resembled his eyes.

"What? Why you sniveling little bastard," Mr. Macho angrily spat out as he swung a punch at Kiba.

Kiba dodged the hit and took a step back. Mr. Macho blinked in surprise, but quickly got over it as his expression changed to anger again. Mr. Macho made another attempt to hit Kiba, but this time Kiba had no need to attack the man nor did he even have to dodge the hit.

"Hey you should pick a fight just for no reason."

Kiba was taken aback as he saw Kaya in between him and Mr. Macho; she was holding his fist in her hand. Mr. Macho looked at Kaya and moving quickly threw a punch at Kaya with his fee hand. Kaya caught his other hand with her own and then kneed him in the stomach. Mr. Macho fell to the ground gasping for breath as he had just gotten his breath taken away from Kaya's act of self defense.

"I told him not to pick a fight for no apparent reason," Kaya muttered, shaking her head as she turned to face Kiba.

The towns people had been watching the squabble but now they began to go back to normal and pay no mind to the outsiders. Kiba looked at all the town people as they tuned their eyes away from them, giving them no attention. Kiba looked at Kaya who was looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Why did you do that, I can take care of myself." Kiba said confused on why she protected him.

"Why?" Kaya repeated in a tone that made Kiba feel like he should know why, "because you probably would of gone overboard and killed him, that's why."

"How do you know? Maybe I wouldn't of," Kiba said defensively even though a part of him agreed with her, he probably would of.

"OH. I'm sorry, how could I be so stupid to think that you are... the type... to act... before you think," Kaya said with a sarcastic laugh and a mocking smile.

Kiba glared at Kaya, he didn't care for her sarcasm and he walk to her and stood tall in front of her craning his neck to look down at Kaya. Kaya didn't budge as Kiba took a last step that closed the space between them making them only inches from each other. Kaya tilted her head up and looked into Kiba's now icy blue eyes, she didn't fear anyone and if he attack she wouldn't hesitate to protect herself. Kiba saw the stubborn look in Kaya's eyed, her expression told him she is not one to take lightly. The two were so close and so in tuned with their own pride and stubbornest to back down that they could feel each others warmth but soon it was interrupted by Kogaku and Tama clearing their throats to Kaya's attention. Kiba and Kaya looked at them and Kaya's expression changed to a surprised, happy smile as quickly as a blink of an eye.

"What are you guys doing here? You guy's never come to this little event." Kaya asked going over to her two pack members; she placed her hand on her hip before she finished.

"We came because we heard that you kicked some ass last time you and Oki were here," Kogaku said putting one arm around Kaya neck.

"So we came to see you do it again," Tama said putting his arm an Kaya's shoulder.

"Well I guess that's good, but why did you bring these three. They don't want to see it," Kaya said looking at the two guys leaning on her.

"I asked them if they wanted to come and they said yes," Tama said taking a step away from Kaya.

"You didn't tell them about the fight did you?" Kaya asked in knowing tone.

"No," Tama simply said.

"Alright then. Well my so called break is over and I have to get back to my... deal," Kaya said her smile fading as she said "deal".

"Your deal?" Hige asked looking at Kaya; Kaya pulled Kogaku's arm off.

"Yeah, a while ago I made a deal with some guys in this town. The deal was if I won every fight I was in then they wouldn't tell Jagura's troops the location of where we live," Kaya said her face very serious now.

"Why did you make a deal like that, why are you hiding from Jagura?" Kiba asked letting the spat him and Kaya had pass by.

"If she knows where we are she'll have us killed because of what we are, so I fight to protect my pack," Kaya plainly stated.

"That's stupid, you shouldn't have to do that," Hige said in a "what the hell" tone.

"It may be stupid, but I still do it."

"That's pathetic, letting yourself be controlled by humans like that," Tsume said bitterly.

"Why not fight Jagura's troops in stead of doing this?" Kiba asked annoyed.

"It's not that simple... you don't know what it was like..." Kaya clenched her fists and tilted her head down.

"Kaya you should get going,"Tama said putting his hand on her shoulders and Kaya looked at him and nodded; she then left. When she had gone Tama turned to the others, "Leave her alone guys."

"If it wasn't for her and this dumb-ass deal we wouldn't be alive," Kogaku said defending Kaya's decision to not fight Jagura.

"Well lets get going to see the two girls in action," Tama said turning and beginning to walk to a big cement building.
