Chapter Seven: Lost But Now Found- Part 1

The seven wolves and Shita arrived at the house just as the sun was near setting. When they entered the house they saw Dai, Sato, Osa, Yuka and Joka sitting in the living room. They were all laughing except Joka who had his usual looked of irritated. Kiba looked around the room to see if Kaya was anywhere to be seen while Tsume looked at the wolves sitting. Dai and Sato were sitting next to each other on a large couch while Joka and Osa sat on two cushioned chairs separated by a table on the opposite side of Dai and Sato and Toboe and Yuka sat on the floor slightly in the middle of the room.

"If you're looking for Kaya she's in the back with some human," Dai said noticing Kiba looking around.

Kiba looked at Dai and made a move to the door but before he took a single step Joka said in a grumpy tone, "I wouldn't bother. She's preoccupied at the moment."

"She's talking to the human and I think she doesn't want to be disturbed… so it's best to just leave her alone." Sato said in his proper tone.

"No I want to know why she was so nice to that damn noble Darcia first."

"Actually that's kind of strange I must say… she only does that if someone has done something for her more than once." Oki said with a look of contemplating concern.

"Um, I can answer that…" Shita said reluctantly, "You see when we were in town and I was being taken away by some goons of Kaya's boss, he saved me before Kaya got to me and returned me safely to her. So that's why she is treating him so nicely."

"What! Why didn't you mention him before?" Tsume asked looking at Shita with a little sign of irritation.

"Well at the time I didn't find it to be important," Shita answered truthfully.

"Well at least we know why shes acting the way she's acting now," Kogaku said in a carefree tone.

"Yup," Tama agreed.

"Really got to have Kaya stop being so trusting," Oki said snapping her finger in a thoughtful way.

Kiba looked at Oki with a angry look, he couldn't believe a wolf could be so trusting of a complete stranger especially when it was a human that just did two favors for her and he probably did them for his own benefit in some way. There was an awkward silence that was in dire need to be broken and so it was.

"Um… why don't you all just sit in here with us while you wait," Dai said smiling at them all as everyone's attention came onto him.

Oki was the first to take the offer; she walked into the room and sat down on the same couch as Dai and Sato were on and Hige followed her sitting closely next to her. Then Kogaku and Tama did the same; Kogaku took his seat on the table, which thankfully was big enough to hold his weight while Tama leaned against it. Kiba knowing that if he went out side to talk to Kaya at the moment that he would get on a very bad side of her, sohe decided to take a seat in the room in the last space of the couch next to Hige. Now Tsume and Shita were the only ones left standing in the entrance. Tsume looked at all the wolves sitting in the living room then turned to go out through the front door.

"Tsume where are you going?" Oki asked knowing very well where he was off to.

"Where do you think? I'm going to see if that damned noble has left yet," Tsume answered turning his back to the door once again.

"No need to do that. He's already gone," Kaya said as she opened the front door and walked in.

"Kaya," Kiba began after she closed the door and walked into the living room.

"Not now. I have business to take care of first, excuse me."

Kiba watched Kaya as she opened a door from in the living room that led to the kitchen. Shita shrugged her shoulders as she followed suit. Joka got up and walked through the door as well. Osa rolled her eyes and sighed heavily as she mumbled, "And he's off." Toboe looked at Osa curiously.

"Do you not liked Joka, or are you mad at him for some reason?" Toboe asked in a puzzled tone.

"Humph, it's nothing… I'm tired. I'm going to bed. Good night." Osa said and with that she left the room.

"Did I say something wrong?" Toboe asked looking at the spot where Osa had turned the corner.

"No… she just doesn't like it when Kaya gets so much attention from Joka," Yuka said getting Toboe's eyes back on her.

"Oh…" Toboe said not really getting what Yuka meant.

"So what happened when you guys were in the town?" Sato asked not wanting to hear talk about Osa's jealously towards Kaya.

"Yeah… why did Kaya come home all messed up?" Dai asked with a worried look.

"Oh that… um well one of her opponents went a little over board. He… um… tried to kill her because he and her had had a sprawl a little earlier on." Oki explained to Dai.

"Over what?" Yuka asked.

"Over Kiba," Kogaku chuckled slightly.

Kiba looked at Kogaku suspiciously as he continued to laugh silently to himself then he stopped as Oki threw a mini pillow at him to make him stop. Joka walked out of the kitchen at this point and taking a look at the others mumbled that he was going to bed. Kiba looked at Joka as he walked away,he could of sworn though that when he looked in his direction that he had an evil glint in his eyes, but Kiba paid no mind as the conversation continued.

"Really?" Dai asked slightly in aw, "But Kiba looks like he can take care of himself."

"Yeah I know… I don't get it either." Tama admitted.

"Well that's because you're all dense idiots." Sato bluntly stated.

"Oh gee… thanks," Oki said sarcastically.

"I didn't mean you," Sato apologized.

"Yeah I know."

"What exactly are you talking about?" Toboe asked, thoroughly confused.

"All right. Kaya kind of has…" Sato said but got interrupted.

"Sato. Could you come in the kitchen for a minute?" Kaya asked poking her head out from behind the door, she was smiling to hid her irritation.

"Um yeah..." Sato said jumping out of his seat as if he just sat on a hot plate.

Everyone watched Sato leave the room into the kitchen. When he was gone Toboe asked the question again hoping to get a answer this time and Yuka happily volunteered herself to give it.

"Oh well we all suspect that Kaya..." Yuka began but stopped as Sato came stumbling back into the room; obviously Kaya had pushed him through the door.

"Um... Yuka, Toboe... its time for you two to go to sleep," Sato said regaining his posture.

"Sato. Do we have to?"

"Yup... its late and time for young pups to go to sleep. So come on."

"Oh alright..." Yuka pouted as she got up and Toboe followed.

"Well I can take a hint... I'm kinda sleepy too..." Oki said standing up and stretching, "How about you Dai?"

"Huh?" Dai said not knowing what Oki mentbut asOki raised and eyebrowquickly answered, "Oh... yeah... actually I am... heh."

Dai smiled and stood up as well and saying goodnight to the others walked out of the living room and turned the corner to go to sleep and Oki did the same after poking her head into the kitchen and saying goodnight to Kaya and Shita. as Oki turned the corner, Hige got up.

"Oki, wait."

"Uh... yeah, Hige?"

"Um I'll go with you... ya know. I'll walk with ya to your room... since I'm going to mine anyways."

"Um okay. Heheh, thanks..."

Oki blushed slightly as she stood and then began to walk down the hall with Hige. Tama and Kogaku left shortly after. Now it was only Kiba and Tsume left in the living room. Kiba looked at Tsume who was staring at him with a slight glare.

"What?" Kiba asked suspiciously as Tsume continued to stare at him.

"Oh nothing... I was just thinking about how you didn't answer my first question this morning." Tsume said nonchalantly.

"Is that right?"

"Yeah... so Kiba did you have fun ease dropping on my personal matters?"

"No, not really."

"Then why bother following me?"

"You've been acting weird and I just wanted to find out why you where acting that way."

"Well did you find out what you wanted to know?"

"Yeah... I guess..."

"Good... now don't do it again..." Tsume said pushing himself off the wall and walked into the entrance hall and before leaving he added, "Oh and by the way, I don't want you near Kaya... so leave her alone."

Kiba looked at Tsume as he left and wondered what he meant by the last part he said. After a minute Kiba retreated to his own room where he sat looking out of his window staring at nothing in particular. Finally after an hour or so he couldn't take it he had to talk to Kaya he didn't know what about but for some reason he needed to talk to her. Kiba opened the door to his room and walked out and as he did he heard a noise come from the front of the house He stood listening to see if he heard it again and as he heard it he decided to take a look at what had made it, it might be Kaya. Kiba walked down the hall to the entrance. When he was at the front of the house he turned into the living room he had previously been in and went through the door of the kitchen where he had heard the noise come from. When he was in the room he saw Oki. Oki was getting a class of water and as she turned around she jumped slightly at the sight of Kiba staring at her.

"Geez, Kiba, Ya scared me... um... what are you doing up still?"

"Nothing... um, where's Kaya?"

"Oh if you wanted to talk to her, you just missed her. She just left to go somewhere." Oki said and as Kiba turned and opened the door she quickly said, "She'll be back soon so I'd stay here if I where you, she doesn't like to be followed without her consent."

"I'm going after anyways... she'll just have to put up with it. I need to talk to her now." Kiba said and walked out of the room.

"Oh shit... I'm dead." Oki said chugging the glass of water she had in her hand.

Kiba caught up with Kaya rather fast and he followed her at a safe distance although a couple of times she would stop and look around as if she could tell something was wrong even though Kiba did his best to hide his sent. After a while Kiba spotted a small cottage like house that Kaya was heading for. As the got closer to it the door opened and someone walked out. From the bush he his behind he couldn't realy tell but the person looked familiar and then it hit him. It was blue... the half wolf that was owned by the old man she referred to as Pops that repeatedly tried to kill them. Kaya walked up to Blue and handed her a bag she had been carrying with her.

"There's food in that..."

"Um thanks... so... where's Oki?"

"Oh she decided not to come this time... we have new wolves at the house and if we both go out it'll look suspicious but there supposedly leaving soon."

"Thats weird... from what I can tell the wolves that come to you usually stay at your place."

"Yeah I know but they just need a place to stay... they say there going somewhere but I don't remember the place." Kaya said not looking blue in the eyes.

"So hows..." Kaya stoped in mid sentance as the main subject of it walked out of the cottage.

"CHEZA." Blue and Kaya said at once as she walked out looked around.

"What are you doing out here?" Blue asked as Cheza walked over to the girls.

"Yeah Cheza... its dangerous, someone might see you," Kaya said looking at Cheza a little worried.

"He is here... this one can sense him. Kiba is here."
