Kiba walked over to you. "Give me your ankle." You stuck out your ankle. 'Yes master. What

should I do next? Roll over and play dead? Who am I kidding I'm the one's who's obeying!' you

thought. Kiba straightened out your ankle, while Toboe was watching with concern shining in his

eyes. You flinched in pain. "Why didn't you say anything?" Kiba asks. You look away, "I don't

know. I guess, I just didn't want everybody to stop on behalf of me being hurt." You flinched again.

"We couldn't have gotten much father with you in this condition." You smiled "Yeah right! I known

for having awesome endurance back home, and believe me with all the fights I got in I had to be."

You thought for a moment. "We're heading some-what west from the the last town aren't we?" Kiba

nodded and straightened out your ankle again. "Ow! That smarts, Kiba! I know what town we're

heading for then. It's going to be some adventure getting through it with me." "And why would that

be?" Asked Tsume. "Why else? I've beaten every boy there. That's why Gramps and I had to move.

Buncha wimps!" Tsume and Hige looked at you with a weird expression. "Man! How old were they

3?" You ignored Hige and looked at Toboe. "Why did you tell?" you asked him, not angry just

wondering. Toboe blushed, "I was just worried.." He said, in his cute little voice. You blushed too.

You had never had a boy worry about you execpt for Gramps, but he's not really a boy.

You felt something touching your ankle, you looked down and saw Cheza smiling at you. "Do

not worry." She said. She kept on rubbing your ankle, the pain started to melt away. You closed

your eyes and smiled. It felt so good! When she stopped, the pain in your ankle wasn't completly

gone, but it was a whole lot better. You stood up and jumped on your ankle. A shot of pain went

through your spine, but you didn't let it show. "Well let's go!" you said in a hyper voice. They

nodded and started again. "Toboe.." Toboe stopped and turned around. You quickly kissed him on

the cheek. "Thanks for worrying." You smiled and went to catch up with the others. You noticed

that Toboe wasn't following so you looked back and saw him standing there with a dreamy look on

his face. You grabbed his hand and pulled him out of his daze. He blushed. You laughed until you

caught up.

You came out of the forest without anymore accidents. Before you stood a huge dome.

"LaRouge City" You said. Kiba and Cheza started down the hill. You went down next, followed by

Hige, Toboe, and Tsume brought up the rear. You guys had been in the dome for about 15 minutes

without anybody noticing you. "Guess you don't have as good a rep as you thought, huh?" Tsume

said to you. You were about to agree when someone yelled. "Mika! Yeah that's right slut I'm talking

to you." You slowly turned around 'I'm gonna KILL him!' you thought. Standing off to the side is a

boy about your age, with blonde hair, amber eyes, and a good body. "I thought I ran you out of this

town Mika." he said pointing a finger at you.
