Paradise
There are a few who can know this pain...
React to it the way you must...
Caryy that burden,
Hold that cross.
"Auuug!" Came the little yelp, smothered by the leather shirt it rested upon.
Tsume growled, turning away from the runt as his dream turned from good to worse. The whimpers became louder and more urgent, his bracelets banged together, motioning it was about to arouse him from sleep.
Toboe sat up sleepily, rubbing his eyes, noticing how Hige was glaring angrily at him.
"I'm sorry guys, I was dreaming about... about..."
"What was it already?" Hige shouted, "You woke me up for gods sakes, now spit it out!"
Those that don't...
They laugh and tease,
Point and please...
Turning your world
A darkening grey.
They make you think
And regret the day.
Mother... Toboe shook his head as Tsume rose, smacking Hige upside the head.
"Shut up Porkey. We've all got things to hide from everyone else."
"You're just protecting him to make up for that bitch you killed earlier this year. The one who was so in love with you... remember. Shives, or something."
Toboe flinched when Tsume snapped his jaws, making Hige quiver and immediatly appologize and excuse himself with a 'not a morning person' and an 'I'm hungry too'.
Tsume stepped outside with Kiba and Cheza. Hige pointed and laughed silently, "You're such a pup Toboe. You can't even leave a human behind without weeping."
"Time for us to move on." Kiba annonced through the opening, rousing Blue and the others.
Hige stepped beside his half wolf mate, Pops and the detective paired up, while Tsume and himself were left to care for one another. They had become even closer after the death of his "mother".
Tsume grinned down at the runt, glad he seemed to be coping so well with the loss of someone so dear.
"You've been through a lot, huh?"
Toboe glanced up at the gray wolf, his eyes locking onto the multipule smaller scars, and the one large scar. Then shrugged, "It's the same you've been through. I am just glad we've all made... it." Toboe looked away, sharply sucking in a deep breath, "How did she die?"
There. I asked, I asked the dreadful question.
When it all swallows you whole,
There's always that some one,
Who'll take your hand...
Tsume smiled sadly, remembering the loss of the pregnant wolf. His mate. The Runt's mother.
"She and I were running from the Nobels. She fell from a large building."
"That made her die?" Toboe asked in disbelief. She always seemed so much stronger... that much more tough and resilliant than they were. Maybe because she was female. Maybe because she was always there when there was an argument, maybe because she was the one who always won ... he didn't know.
Tsume smiled, and looked away, but Toboe caught the tears. They were freely flowing from his own eyes, "I miss her Tsume."
Hige came over, "You both realise you'll see her in Paradise, along with that unborn pup. Toboe... you'll have that younger sibling."
Toboe smiled as the group seemed to huddle closer around each other. They were a large family. Missing a few people here and there, but still large, and almost complete. They only need to find what they most desire. A peacful existance with those around them. Forever in an unending circle of life, death, and rebirth. Harmony.
That's the one who introduces
The colors of love,
The colors of life,
Into your world.
They will lead you to Paradise.
