A New Companion

A/N: I'm ALIVE, who knew since it has been well over a year or two and I greatly apologize, you could say writers block lasts long periods of time for me…plus I have no way of seeing the show. There is my pitiful excuse for this update.

Chapter 5

Angel ripped into a piece of meat as soon as it was given to her. She didn't care if they looked at her, she was hungry and they'd deal with it. She stared around at Toboe, Tsume, Hige, and Kiba they were ripping into their meat as though it had been days since they had eaten. Though it had only been one.

She wiped the blood from her lips as she finished the raw piece of meat. "So umm…I'm sorry that you guys had to rescue me or whatever you want to call it." Angel said turning away from them tapping her fingers together. "I'm going to go outside for a few minutes if you guys need me."

Angel sat on the broken window ledge and then jumped from it. She felt her knees buckle under her when she landed and she collapsed. She slid her back into the building and held up her corset just enough to see the damage that Yvonne had caused to her. There were deep claw marks imbedded in her stomach. Then she felt a little pain from her neck and placed a hand on it. Angel hissed in pain, Yvonne must have scratched her there without her knowing about it.

"You okay?" She heard Kiba's voice say from above her. Angel stared up and watched him jump down.

"I'm fine." She said grabbing a wad of snow from the ground and pressing it against her neck hoping to numb just a little bit of the pain she was feeling. The snow started to melt from her body heat. And water began to run down her white blood-stained corset. She took in a deep sigh and waited for Kiba to sit down next to her. "Kiba, why'd you take me in to your pack?"

"I don't know," Kiba said sitting next to her. "You're different from everyone else…I'm not sure why you're so different though."

"I'm different, who knew?" Angel smirked, "I mean I can only turn into a wolf and have heightened senses and all of that jazz."

"What made you decide to join the pack?" He looked to her his blue eyes curious.

"Lonely I guess." She looked down at her red hands. "You guys saw me out there. I most likely would've died."

"I'm going to head back up there…are you coming?" Angel said getting up from the ground and holding her hand up for Kiba.

"I'll be up there in a few minutes." He said staring down to his feet.

Angel gave herself a smile. She leaned down and laid a gentle kiss on Kiba's cheek, "cheer up, you look so sad." Then she crouched and jumped back up to the window ledge. "Man, its cold outside." She said to the others who were huddled around a heater. "Wait a minute where's Tsume?" She was knocked to the ground a few seconds later. A gray wolf was pinning her to the ground. "Is that how it goes?" She gave him a wicked smile and stared him hard in the eyes. Quickly she changed to her wolf form. Her snarling mass of brown fur threw him off of her in a second.

"Surprised?" Tsume grinned as he began to circle around Angel. Hige and Toboe were watching from the heater trying to avoid contact.

"Not really," Angel's eyes followed his movements around her. He charged forward at her and hit her directly in her stomach. Angel yelped in pain and changed back to her other form quickly. She laid a hand on it, "That hurt." She growled running forward and throwing his wolf body against the wall.

"So I have to get you angry in order to fight better?" Tsume changed back and got up off of the ground. "I don't have a problem making you angry, it's quite entertaining."

"Speak for yourself," Angel said raising an eyebrow as though she were challenging him. She was about to attack him again when Kiba pushed her back against the wall.

"Stop fighting, both of you." He said releasing Angel's shoulders.

"You're not the boss of me," Tsume growled shoving past Kiba to stare Angel in the face. "You are going to be a better fighter if you're going to stay in this pack." He said the tone of his voice said he was annoyed.

"Well, you're not the boss of me either Tsume," Angel shouted.

"Now c'mon guys there no sense in arguing over such a stupid little thing." Hige said.

"Stay out of it," Angel snapped to him. Then she spotted Toboe on the other side of the room the expression on his face was that of an upset child. She took in a deep breath and turned around clinching her fists. "I'm leaving." She said roughly before jumping off the window ledge and out into the cold winter night.

A/N: Was that an OK update, it would be longer but I just feel like stopping it there. I have a few ideas left and plan to use them in the next chapter, but any of your guys would help as well, remember, NO FLAMES. Sorry, I just don't like flames.

Luv ya,
