A/N: HIIII! IT'S NEKO-CHAN! This is my first Wolf's Rain fic, so don't be too critical on the reviews. Pweez? Well, on to the fic. Just remember, TOBOE IS MINE! He's so cute::sigh:
Disclaimer: I don't own anyone from Wolf's Rain! There, I said it! I WISH I owned Toboe, though! If only…
It was another day, and Toboe, Hige, Kiba, and Tsume were all, once again, on a mission to find paradise. (A/N: Notice I put Toboe first! Tehe!) Toboe sighed. "We've been walking for days on end, now! Can't we take a break?"
"Yeah! I'm tired and hungry!" Hige whined, "It looks like it's gonna rain, too!"
"Ugh…" Tsume replied, "Listen. If it starts to rain, then we'll find shelter and wait till the rain stops."
Kiba didn't say a word. He kept his eyes fixed straight ahead into the ongoing dirt. He didn't want to be part of the conversation, for, he was tired, hungry, and completely worn out. They had been walking for over a week, only stopping for a couple of minutes to fill their canteens. (A/N: I'm not quite sure how long you can go with only water, but oh well!) Kiba was so tired, he could barely hear his own thoughts. :In thoughts: Man… I'm dizzy all of a sudden::Out of thoughts: Instantly after the thought, he collapsed under the heat. "KIBA!" Hige shouted. They all ran over to him.
"Kiba, snap out of it!" Tsume snapped his fingers in front of his face. Though, all he could do was moan.
It started to rain and they had to find shelter, soon. Tsume spotted a nearby cave through the mist the water gave off after it hit the ground. He ordered Hige and Toboe to help Kiba over to the cave. They obediently obeyed and dragged him to the cave.
Whence inside, they splashed Kiba with some fresh water from a spring. "Uhh… what?" He asked in confusion. "While you guys fill 'im in, I'm gonna go look for some food!" Toboe said and immediately changed into a wolf and ran off.
"WAIT! TOBOE!" Tsume screamed after him. "THE POACHERS ARE ON A STRICT LOOKOUT FOR WOLVES THIS MONTH!" But it was to late. Toboe had run off. "HE'S GONNA GIT KILLED!" Tsume yelled. He was concerned for Toboe, even through all the nagging.
"Calm down! He'll be fine! I mean, what human would be out in the rain?" Hige stated. Tsume thought about that for a moment. "Right now, we gotta take care 'a Kiba!"
Toboe, still in wolf form, was running wild! He loved the rain and loved to play in it! For, the temperature had seemed to have dropped quite a bit! But, then, he heard a gunshot. He stopped and stood absolutely still. He heard another gunshot. This time he wasn't so lucky. The bullet hit him in his left paw. Toboe let out a loud howl of pain.
"NO! THAT WAS TOBOE!" Tsume yelled when he heard his howl in the distance. "What!" Kiba jolted up. "We gotta help 'im!" But before he could state that, Tsume was in wolf form and sprinting towards where he heard the howl.
Meanwhile, Toboe was limping to get to a bush nearby. He couldn't change into a human, or else they would know his secret. He heard another gunshot and a bullet whizzed right past him. He hurried to get to the bush. He couldn't see or hear which way the shots where coming from. Toboe took his last grasp of energy and leaped into the bush. He knew they saw him jump into the bush so he dragged himself over to the nearest tree. He could see the poachers looking in the bush. One said, "Que?" (Spanish for What! There is supposed to be an accent mark over the "e" :sry! I know a lot 'a Spanish and Japanese, so you'll see some weird words here and there! J:) They went off in conversation and since Toboe couldn't speak Spanish, he was clueless on what they were saying.
"TOBOE!" He heard a deep voice call him from the distance. It was Tsume! He was saved! But then he thought, "Oh no! The poachers!"
"TSUME! GO BACK! THERE ARE POACHERS! THEY'VE GOT GUNS! PLEASE GO BACK!" Toboe screamed without thinking. One of the men pointed his way. "Oh no! They heard me!" Toboe thought.
