Chapter 9

The thoughts of never seeing Rikku and never being there with his children were cycling through his mind. He couldn't see her go through that kind of pain. He started to think what his Henry guy would do to her if he really couldn't escape. Anger grew in his face; from the looks of it pain dwelled inside of him, pain that could not be described. He finally decided to let his human "shield" down and revealed his wolf form. He stood so that if he had to suddenly move in any direction, he could.

"Well, well. We're a little mad now are we?" snarled Henry

This made Toboe even madder and out of instinct he jolted after Henry. His mouth was wide open and he was ready to taste his soft flesh. He wasn't going to go easy on him' he was doing this to protect Rikku and his pups. As he approached Henry, he clamped his jaws around his shoulder so hard that the only thing that Henry could do was thrust himself against the rock wall. Toboe happened to be in-between the wall and Henry, and he loosened his grip so that his battered body fell to the ground. He was limp, and he tried to force himself up but he couldn't. He was too injured to do so. Henry continued to abuse the poor defenseless pup as he lay on the ground. As Henry was doing this something happened to fall out of his pocket and on to the hard floor. He didn't notice it because he was too busy hurting the poor wolf. After a while, Henry decided that his work there was completed, and walked off in the direction that he came from.

"UHH! I…have to…get to her…before he…hurts her…aaaahhhh!" Toboe said to himself. He saw something that was on the floor, but it wasn't there before. "Huh, what…what is this?" he picked the thing up. On the screen there was a red flashing light that appeared to be moving. He had a good feeling that the dot was Rikku and this machine could get him to her. He gathered up enough strength to walk. He followed the dot on the screen and he began his journey to retrieve his true love.
