Chapter 4
Personal Thanks.
Macbeth's Mistress: I cannot believe you just called Seto dumb dumb, do you know how weird that is coming from you, especially with how much I talk with you and how much you make yourself sound head over heals for Kaiba?
Flame Swordswoman: All right, great to see that, well, you like. Happy Birthday! And thank you, I like my cliffhangers as well.
Lady Guena: I love Angst as well, and hey, if they got hurt and died this soon, there wouldn't be a story, now would there?
DaughterofDeath: Got a new chapter.
Joey baby: Once again, if Jou dies this soon, there would not be a story, do not worry.
Mandapandabug: No promises, but I will try to make the chapters longer.
Animegirl008: Here is chapter 4!
Now on with the story.
Jou searched the grounds surrounding the two, keeping an eye out for more wolves than the three he could already see, catching sight of very slight movement in certain spots. "I see seven wolves, have you spotted any?"
"I have only counted four, these three, and the one behind you." Kaiba replied, keeping his eyes on the wolves, trying to ignore the fact that his mind was screaming "RUN!"
"We can't run!" Jou hissed as his grip on the staff tightened. "I can't believe you would say that, we wouldn't stand a chance."
Kaiba grimaced as he noticed he had said that aloud. "What do you propose we do?"
"Fight." With that Jou brought his staff down atop the closest wolf's head, earning a sickening crack. "One down, seven more to go."
That quick movement from Jou brought the wolves into a frenzy, all seven trotting in to make a kill. Snarling and growling while baring their teeth. A chill ran through Jou's spine as he stared into what seemed to be the Alfa-male. The wolves tail standing erect, and his body powerful.
Another wolf, farther behind the Alfa, sprung into action. Coming full force towards the turned Seto Kaiba. "Watch yourself!" Jou screamed as he swung his weapon at the wolf, knocking it away, but not killing it. "Your brother would kill me if I let you die on my watch!" He growled, as he turned back towards the pack.
The Alfa looked as though he had had enough stalling, launching himself towards Jou with little effort and great ease. Jou barely turned in time to see the wolf dig his sharp canines into his shoulder. Jou let out a shriek and he tried to pry the wolf from his body.
Kaiba turned as an inhuman shriek filled his ears, seeing the blonde on the ground, trying to pry the large silver/gray wolf from his shoulder. Kaiba stared down at the knife in his hand, having an inward debate of if he should use it or not.
Giving up on his inward debate, he swung the knife down into the wolf's neck, killing it on the spot.
Jou felt the extreme weight yet relief as the wolf fell heavily a top his body. "Hesitate much?"
"Gomen ne." Seto quickly turned back to see the others of the pack slowly slink back into the woods, giving up to find an easier meal. "How's your shoulder?"
"Peachy keen." Jou said, groaning as he slowly sat up, pushing the dead carcass off of him. "We need to get moving." He said, trying to stand before collapsing back down in pain.
"Let me see that." Kaiba said, pulling his backpack in front of him and digging through it.
"I'm fine." He tried to stand once more, only to have Kaiba push him back down.
"Bull shit! Now hold still."
Seto sat down, tearing away the last remnants of Jou's shirt, pulling out a rather full first-aid kit and a spare shirt from the bag. "Prepared much?"
"You can never be to careful." Was all he said, setting to work and bandaging up the blonde's shoulder. After tedious work, two hours, and shrieks, whines, and cries of pain from Jou, Kaiba finished doctoring Jou's shoulder. "No more fighting for a few days."
"Whatever." Jou scoffed, sourly standing, heading down a lightly beaten path. "Come on, it is another four hour walk to the hut we will be staying at tonight." He looked towards the sky. "Damn, it is already after dusk, we better hurry."
Both boys picked up the pace, making it to the tree hut in record time. "Uhh, I see no hut mutt." His eyes widened as he watched the boy remove the large bark door. "Inside of this old tree?"
"Yes, now move it!" Jou said as he stepped inside, waiting for the brunette to move inside before placing the bark back. "Welcome to the home away from home, the Holiday Jou, we have no running water, but we have canteens filled in that corner, you have to use the bush outside to piss, and we sleep here, where we are standing."
"You have got to be kidding."
"Nope, now I am going to lay down, and go to sleep, and I am hoping you do that same."
Jou slowly got to the ground, curling up and closing his eyes, feeling the weight as Seto did the same behind him. 'I have a feeling this is only the beginning.'
