Chapter 8: Lost But Now Found- Part 2

Kiba watched as Cheza looked around for him. Kiba Stood up from his hiding place and stood looking at Cheza, he had finally found her. Cheza smiled as she saw Kiba while Blue and Kaya just stared at him. Kiba ran up to Cheza as she muttered his name happily. When Kiba came up to her he held her in a tight hug and said, "Cheza. I finally found you."

"Kiba..."

"Kiba? What are you doing here?" Blue asked as Kiba held Cheza at arms length and looked at her lovingly.

"Oh nothing... he just needed a place to rest so he ended up at my place... these are the new guests we had.," Kaya said in a plain tone. 'I new I smelled something strange.'

"Oh Cheza I'm so glad you're safe... now we can go to the others and..." Kiba said as he grabbed Cheza by the hand and began to lead her towards the direction of the house.

"She can't go to the house." Kaya interrupted going in front of Kiba.

"Why not... we've been looking all over for her and now that I found her I don't want to leave her."

"Well then you can stay here with her but I am going back to the house."

"Kiba... it is alright. This one will be fine... you can go back with Kaya." Cheza said letting go of Kiba's hand and steping slightly away from him with a little bounce in her step.

"But Cheza..." Kiba said with uncertainty.

"No, really it is alright... this one will be fine, now go."

"You can see her in the morning and leave right after that if you want but I wouldn't care if you really wanted to stay..." Kaya said bitterly.

"Uh..." Kiba paused looking at Cheza and she gave him a reassuring smile then he said, "Alright. I'll came back for you in the morning."

"Fine... whatever you want."

"This one will be waiting right here for you." Cheza said with a happy little smile.

"Huh... um... well bye, Cheza. Bye, Blue." Kaya said mustering a smile for courtesy before she turned and bean to walk in the direction of th house.

Cheza and Blue said goodbye to Kaya as her back turned to them. Kaya waved her hand goodbye without turning and continue to walk. Kiba glanced at Kaya and then giving Cheza one last hug followed after Kaya. Kiba caught up to Kaya fairly quickly and as they walked neither of them said a word. Kiba kept glancing at Kaya who refused to look at him.

"So how long have they been here?" Kiba asked deciding to break the silence.

"Who?" Kaya asked in a clueless tone all the while not looking at Kiba.

Kiba stopped getting irritated at Kaya for acting so stubborn for no apparent reason. He glanced at the surrounding for a few moments as he let out a deep breath before saying, "You know who...". Kiba's words made Kaya stop after a few moments, he was a little in front of hill. Kaya still had her back to Kiba as she answered him.

"Alright... about a week and a half."

"So they've been here the whole time and you never told me?" Kiba asked as he began to walk towards her.

"Why would I need to."

"Because I said I was looking for her." Kiba said as he stood in front of Kaya.

"No, not technically... you told me you lost her not that you where trying to find her."

"That's not the point... you should of told me."

"Well I didn't feel the need to, so it doesn't matter cuz you know now."

"Why are you acting like... why are you so mad?"

"No reason... now lets just keep going..." Kaya said as she turned to walk around Kiba.

"No... not until you tell me what is bothering you." Kiba demanded as he grabbed Kaya by the wrist to stop her from walking away from him.

"How about not..." Kaya said trying to pull away from Kiba.

When Kaya pulled Kiba pulled her back and something happened that was entirely unintended. Kiba had, had his back to the hill so when he pulled Kaya back towards him, she hit his chest roughly making Kiba loose his balance. They both tumbled down the slightly rocky hill and they finally stopped at the very bottom. Kiba opened his eyes and rubbing the back of his head he felt a sharp pain on his side but paid no mind to it as he noticed that Kaya was no where in sight. "Kaya?" Kiba said, then having no answer. Kiba got up and looked around for her but found nothing and then he jumped slightly when he heard someone take a deep breath of air from behind him. Kiba turned quickly to see Kaya's head floating on the top of a lake that she had apparently fallen into. Kiba looked Kaya in a little shock; her hair was plastered to her face and she had a death glare that was made just for Kiba. Kiba thought Kaya kinda looked a little silly with such a face when she was so wet, in fact he thought she looked a little sweet even if she did look like she was about to kill him. Kaya kept glaring at him as she began to swim a little closer to shore she didn't notice the smirk that had appeared on Kiba's face. When Kaya was close to the shore Kiba began to laugh. Kaya's glare turned to an angry confused look.

"What's so funny?"

"You... you're so... you look ridiculous."

"Humph... thanks a lot. So how about you help me get out?" Kaya said and then extended her hand out.

"Um... sure."

Kiba grabbed Kaya's hand and was about to pull her out when he found himself surrounded by water. Kaya was laughing very hard as he came back to the surface. Now it was Kiba's tern to glare. Kaya opened one eye to look at Kiba and immediately stopped laughing. Kaya gave Kiba a little sheepish grin and getting no softer look from Kiba she pushed her hair out of her face and sighed.

"W-what? Aw, common... you deserve it after laughing at me."

Kiba just stared at Kaya then he decided that it was getting late and they needed to continue on. So Kiba began to get out of the water but as he did Kaya grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him back in. Kiba made a little splash as he fell back in. He once again looked Kaya but this time she was laughing shyly and was looking at him with gentle eyes. Kiba just smirked and spashed some water at Kaya who in return did the same. They soon began a little water fight that lead to Kaya dunking Kiba and Kiba grabbing Kaya by the ankles and pulling her under the water. When Kaya came back to the surface Kiba was smiling, Kaya hadn't seen Kiba smile so, so, so lovingly was the way to put it, but then she remembered he had only smiled at Cheza like that. Kiba looked at Kaya his expression changing from a smile to a confused look that wasn't very noticeable unless you looked closely. Kaya was frowning slightly as she began to swim back to the shore and started to get out. Kiba began to follow Kaya as she got entirely out of the water.

"You never answered why you where so mad." Kiba stated as Kaya began to stand completely upright.

"It doesn't matter... I'm not mad now so..." Kaya said as she turned and gave Kiba a weak smile and then she proceeded to dry herself.

Kiba then got out and looking at Kaya he changed form and shook the water off and then before they left he changed back to a human and followed next to Kaya. Kiba and Kaya were still slightly wet as they left the lake that Kiba had finally realized was the one that Tsume and Kaya had been at. The two walked once again in silence but it was a more comfortable silence that Kiba was thankful for. Everyone was asleep when they arrived back at the house so Kaya instructed Kiba to sit on the couch. Kiba sat on the couch that was in the opposite room that they had been in before and waited for Kaya to come back. Kiba looked up from the floor he had been previously staring at when he heard Kaya's foot steps, anouncing her return and when he did he was wacked roughly by a towel in the face. Kaya had thrown the towel at Kiba and it made a direct hit, the towel fell on Kiba's lap and he looked at Kaya with a slight glare.

"What was that for?"

"This was your doings... it's your fault your wet."

Kiba watched Kaya as she walked toward the couch and as she did he opened his towel and began to dry his eyes. Kaya put her towel down on the couch next to Kiba then made her way to the fireplace that was in the room. Kaya started to make a fireplace. After the crackling of a the fire started to sound Kaya got up from her crouching stance and walked over to the couch. Kiba looked at Kaya as she sat down and then she looked at him and gave him a warm smile. Kiba smiled back feeling a little awkward as he had the towel on his head like a hood. When Kiba returned to drying his hair Kaya began to do the same; she leaned forward and let her hair fall over her face, then put the towel over her head and began to rub it against her hair. Kiba took the towel off his head and put it on his lap then looked at Kaya, she looked weird with her head hunched and her hand vigorously rubbing the towel to dry her hair. He began to laugh slightly as he thought she looked like she was being attacked by the towel and was attempting to free her head. After a moment Kaya threw the towel back with her hair along with it so that it ended up on her back.

"What are you laughing at now?" Kaya asked as she looked at Kiba.

"Nothing. It's just... never mind." Kiba said as his laughter died a little.

"Oh so you not going to tell me?" Kaya asked crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow.

"No," Kiba said now looking at her with a smirk.

"Fine be that way," Kaya said throwing a pillow at Kiba.

Kiba blocked his head as the pillow was coming at him but the pillow instead hit his side and he winched as a slight pain came to him just like it had before at the lake he and Kaya had ended up in. Kaya looked at him with concern and Kiba quickly straightened although after he wished he hadn't for the sarp pain hit him again.

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing."

"Oh really... you always say its nothing..."

Kaya looked at Kiba sternly and he merely shrugged. Kaya began to get a little closer and Kiba scooted back slightly as he didn't know what she was going to do. Kaya stopped at this and tilted her head slightly with her eyebrow raised again.

"Look, I'm just going to take a look at you so stop moving."

"It's fine. I'm okay, really."

"Just let me take a look at it, okay. Just so I can be sure."

Kaya gave him a begging look and he new if he didn't let her then she would probably make him in the end. Kiba relaxed and gave her a nod. Kaya looked at him and gave him a quick smile before she got close again. Kiba closed his eyes as to concentrate on not flinching as he felt Kaya's hands grab his jacket and move it but his eyes quickly opened as she began to lift his white shirt up to look at his side. He looked at Kaya and saw that she was blushing slightly although he didn't know why. Kiba grunted slightly as Kaya ran her fingers gently over his right side rubbing them against his ribs. He saw her flustered face turn to a worried and slightly guilty look as she saw that Kiba had a large bruise appearing on his side.

"You must of gotten this when we rolled down the hill... maybe by some of the rocks that are on it...I'm sorry," Kaya said still gently stroking the bruised area.

"Sorry? Why are you apologizing?"

"Because its my fault we tumbled down the hill... I shouldn't of pulled away... I should of just answered you question," Kaya said beging to cry slightly.

"It's... it's okay... it wasn't yours or anyone's fault... it just happened..." Kiba said not knowing what the heck he was doing as he pulled Kaya into a hug to try and comfort her.

Kiba breathed in but his breath hitched in shock as he felt Kaya wrap her arms around his waist and lean into his embrace. Kiba held her tighter as a warm feeling came over him, for some reason he wanted, not felt like he needed, but wanted to stay holding her close until she felt better. But even if Kiba had wanted it, the moment wouldn't last for one reason and it so happened to be standing and looking at them. Tsume, coughed loudly making Kiba look up at him with a mildly startled expression and Kaya slowly pulled away from Kiba making his warmth disappear as quickly as it had come.

"Kaya what's the matter why are you..." Tsume said ignoring Kiba completely.

"Oh, just something I felt bad about but..." Kaya glanced at Kiba and then said, "but its okay now... I feel better."

"Well you should get some rest to make sure your alright..."

"Your probably right. Goodnight Kiba," Kaya said smiling at Kiba and then she turned and walking past Tsume said, "Goodnight Tsume."

Tsume smiled at her and as he watched her leave and turn the corner to her room he looked back at Kiba. Kiba got up and fixed his shirt and readjusted his jacket. Tsume glared at him as he did this. If he did anything to hurt Kaya he would not let it go unpunished. Kiba began to walk towards him.

"Where do you tink your going, Kiba?"

"To bed... we have a long day ahead of us..." Kiba said slightly reluctantly as he stopped next to Tsume.

"What exactly do you mean by that?" Tsume asked not turning to Kiba but remained in the shoulder to shoulder position they were standing in.

"I've found Cheza and tomorrow we're going to go and get her. Then we're ... we're going to leave from there."

"When..."

"A little while ago... Kaya had her hidden from us and when I foll... the point is I found her so we can continue on..." Kiba said answering Tsume question before it spoken, his head slightly low as if he was regretted it,.

"Fine," Was all Tsume said as Kiba began to walk to his room.

Tsume stood for a moment listening to Kiba's steps and then he sighed as he thought 'At least now I don't have to worry about him being alone like that with Kaya, again.' and began to retreat to his room as well.
