'Why fight? We are all going to die anyways.'

Kiba's pack and Kuro stopped on a snowy cliff over looking out over a frozen sea. Tsume smirked, "I am getting some Déjà vu here this place is so similar to the one back in our old life."

Toboe and Hige nodded in agreement. "We have to cross it." Kiba stated, "Kuro do you think the ice will hold you?"

Kuro flattened her ears and swished her cream coloured tail, "You better not be calling me fat, Kiba."

Toboe looked uneasy sensing a fight building up, "I don't think that is what Kiba meant its just you are bigger than us and not bred to run on the ice."

Kuro snorted and tossed her mane. Tsume muttered something to Blue about Kuro being a stuck up mare. Kiba rolled his eyes and shifted back into his wolf form, quickly followed by the others, they took off down the cliff and onto the ice.

Hige trotted next to Blue with Toboe loping behind them. Kiba and Tsume led them across the frozen terrain as Kuro cantered on the hard compacted ice. For the about the umpteenth time Kuro's un-clawed feet slipped on the ice.

Tsume most certainly did not let the chance to make Kuro look bad quickly flung insults at her, "I question why the humans would see any use in an incompetent animal like you."

The chocolate palomino flattened her ears on her skull and shot back, "I question why the universe sees a reason to let you damned wolves survive."

Kiba was starting to think that facing Darcia would be better than listening to the two animals bicker. Hige ignored the argument and continued to think about when his next meal would be.

Toboe sped up and ran passed the others until he reached Kiba's side. The older wolf looked down at Toboe with a questioning look, "Oh, it's nothing bad," Toboe said understanding Kiba's silent question of if something was wrong, "I just wanted to know if Kuro is going to follow us all the way to paradise? I mean, I don't mind it's just that she upsets Tsume and...Yeah that's all."

Kiba looked towards his puppy-hood friend, "Kuro won't come with us all the way. She never was good at sticking to one journey."

Toboe nodded. The whole pack fell into a comfortable silence for about an hour. Without warning Kuro slammed on brakes and skidded to a halt, her breathe making clouds of white mist.

Kiba stopped to and looked at the horse. Hige and Blue stopped and Toboe sat down next to them. Tsume seemed less happy to stop than the others, "Why did you stop did little girl get scared?"

"Clearly, you are so short you can't see what I can."

"What can you see?" Blue asked as Hige started sniffing the air and looking a bit worried.

"Everything." Kuro said.

"She means what is it you were referring to when you were speaking to Tsume." Kiba said, used to the mare's tendency to answer question quiets literally.

"Oh," Kuro said looking sheepish, "I can see massive cars heading across the ice coming in our way."

Hige looked up, "Are they part of Darcia's army?"

"How am I supposed to know, my eyesight is not that good?" Kuro said.

"Toboe get on Kuro's back and tell us what crest is on the cars." Kiba instructed.

Kuro looked hurt, "No kiba, that pup is not getting on me he will scratch my coat."

Toboe backed up to hide behind his role model. "Kuro, Toboe is the lightest." Kiba said not offering any more of an explanation for his choice of wolf.

"Fine," Kuro ground out after a long silence, "But you owe me Kiba. Come on Howling I'm not gonna stand here all day."

Toboe acted quickly and jumped onto the horse's back. He placed his front paws between Kuro's flattened ears and squinted past the glare, after freaking out at how high the horse was. "I see the cars. I know the crest its...um...the crest of the...um...Jaguara!"

"WHAT!" Hige shouted up at the pup. Memories of leading his pack to their inevitable demise circulated through his mind. Tsume immediately started snarling while Blue took a step back positioning her body between Hige and the general direction of the cars. Kiba growled his body shivering in anticipation.

Kiba still had a score to settle with the noble for sucking out Cheza's energy, creating a nobles paradise, mortally wounding his best friend, locking up Tsume and Toboe, killing wolves and using them not to mention sending an entire fleet of guards to attack him and hook him up to a machine to suck out his life energy.

Sure, he had killed her in his last life but watching her life blood pool around her pretty features was not enough to take away the pain she had caused his pack, "Toboe." Kiba said motioning for Toboe to get back on the ground.

The pup slowly started to climb down, "Oh, for the love of life." Kuro got impatient with Toboe and dropped her head before running backwards, causing the reddish wolf to fall onto his back. "Get up, runt!" Tsume growled picking Toboe up by the scruff of his neck and depositing him unceremoniously back onto his feet.

The tension in the air heightened as the black cars drove towards the pack and mare. Hige lifted his head and looked startled. "Hige," Blue asked slowly noticing Hige's surprised look, "What's wrong?"

Hige snapped out of his trance. Kiba tilted on of his ears back to catch every word Hige was about to say all the while remaining focused on their soon-to-be opponents.

"I smell wolves." Hige said sniffing the air again.

Blue cocked her elegant head, "Do you mean the troops have captured wolves again?"

Hige nodded, "I think so but the scents I smell remind me of the city where that pack worked for humans because they were hungry."

Toboe cocked his head, "The one where Kiba got attacked and the old wolf died from over work?"

Hige nodded as the trucks slowed to a stop and armoured men jumped out of the trucks, "No theses wolves aren't captured. They don't smell scared."

The packs eyes widened and Kuro took a step forward. "Sali?" Kiba said quietly as the older greyish wolf hopped out of the van on cue and growled followed by the rest of his pack.

"You?" Sali said looking out on the pack he had helped a life time ago. Moss grinned his showing his teeth.

Cole jumped out next, "Hige, I'm sorry the human's offered us no choice.

"Damn it!" was all Tsume said looking out over the first pack they had met in the last time, "Your pack is destined to be human slaves isn't it?"

The wind blew the coats of all the wolves. Despite the setting this fight seemed so familiar to Kiba only this time he was not facing Sali's whole pack alone like last time. The only thing that was truly fazing for Kiba's pack was to see gramps alive once more standing there as a slave for Jaguara.

I always liked Sali's pack so I included them quite soon. I wanted the pack to be working for humans because that is what they did in their old life, they pulled carriages so they could eat. I'm wondering if I should kill Gramps again or let him live, if you have an opinion on that subject please share it with me. I am done here. I have no idea when I can update again so thank you and good-bye.
