Remorse

Isthisparadise: I guess there is nothing I can say to stop any of you from saying I do not own Wolf's Rain right?

Wolf's Rain characters: Right.

Isthisparadise: Ok then so who wants to say it this time?

Toboe: You already did.

Isthisparadise: Oh ok then. On with the story.

When the 3 wolves finally caught up to Kiba they saw he was engaged in a fight with Darcia.

They caught some of Darcia's words when they came up.

"I will open Paradise. Now that I am a wolf I can." Darcia said with an evil grin.

"You will never open up Paradise. You were a Noble and still are, so you could never open Paradise." Kiba said with a growl.

"You and I are two sides of a coin. It does not matter which one of us opens Paradise."

"You're wrong. You can never open up Paradise. The Paradise you would open would never be the real Paradise. It would be a place where there would be evil, pain and hurt. Any Paradise you could open would be more of a Hell then a Paradise." Said Kiba.

At this Darcia ran towards Kiba. Kiba and Darcia started fighting but before either of them could inflict much damage upon the other Kiba yelled "Cheza!" And then all the wolves turned around to see Cheza jump off a cliff into the heart of the mountain.

Darcia then flipped Kiba over and went in for the killing bite at the throat when a speeding, gray, mass came from out of nowhere. It was Tsume!

"Tsume!" Toboe yelled.

"Yeah, of course it's Tsume. Who else is alive besides Kiba?" Hige said with a sniff.

"Right."

Darcia managed to dislodge Tsume when Kiba said "Tsume!"

"Kiba go after Cheza, you are the only one who can open Paradise."

"Wolf. You know you could never open Paradise." Darcia said with a snarl.

"Of course I know that. I've always had a feeling Kiba would be the only one who could open Paradise." Tsume said harshly.

Tsume then said "Kiba go after Cheza!"

Darcia began to run towards the hole in which Cheza disappeared into. Tsume then ran and intercepted Darcia to stop him from reaching the hole. Darcia turned and in a flash Tsume jumped away and landed on his feet crouching. When he tried to get up again he found he couldn't. When Tsume looked down he saw his leg had been torn up pretty bad and his stomach has been ripped into. There was a look of shock on Tsume's face.

"TSUME! NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!" Yelled Hige, Blue, And most of all Toboe.

Tsume pulled himself up against a near by rock and leaned against it clutching his side.

"Tsume." Said Kiba. "Go after Cheza" Tsume said. "I guess I knew it somewhere in my heart that I would never make it to Paradise and that you were the only one who could make it all the way."

"I won't leave you Tsume." Said Kiba softly

"I don't want to move any more either. But the truth is you have to stop him. You have to make it to Paradise."

"Tsume I won't leave you behind."

"Damnit Kiba just go."

"Tsume……"

"GO!"

Kiba started running towards the hole where Darcia had already jumped through. As soon as Kiba started going Tsume said softly "I'll see you again in Paradise." With that he slowly fell to one side and then howled as his last breath.

Toboe said "Tsume…. He died just as he would like… in a fight."

"Yeah. That's the way I wanted to go kid." Said a voice from behind them that sounded a lot like Tsume.
