Tsuki glanced over her shoulder as she walked away from where the defenseless cubs lay and she had a brief thought of bringing them with her, knowing their mother Demeter knew she wouldn't hurt them, but she had the sneaking suspicion that Demeter would never return. Tsuki gave a sigh and continued to lead Toboe back to the cave where the other still slept. She wouldn't let him lead them back due to the fact that he got lost more than Tsuki could count on one hand, weird kid he was.
Back to the present, as Tsuki stepped back into the clearing where the rest of Toboe's friends still slept, she walked over to where her fire was now dying and gave it one of the pieces of dry, dead wood. As the wood hit the fire and the fire actually caught, one of the males awoke and glared at her. Tsuki just returned the glare, an eye for an eye. He looked a bit stunned that she had done so, but he soon regained the color he lost and flicked her off. Oh, now Tsuki was pissed.
She walked up the male, noticing his silver-white and spoke quietly, but with anger,"Do that again and see what happens."
He grinned,"Well of course." He flicked her off, again. Toboe must have seen this, because he made a startled groan of displeasure.
Tsuki narrowed her blue eyes that now seemed to be a dark stormy-gray. She gave a low unconscious growl and took another step towards the man. She them picked him up by the front of his shirt, actually lifting him off the ground,"Zakennaiyo." The man gave her a ticked off look as he shoved her backwards into the cave wall. She dropped to her knees and rose again to aim a punch at him. The man grabbed it and then grabbed the other as she tried again to punch him. She smirked before kicking upwards with her knee. It hit him in the family jewels and he was stunned for a moment, allowing Tsuki to scamper to the outside and fresh air.
Toboe walked over to her as he noticed his friend Tsume getting back up,"Tsuki, maybe you shouldn't-"
"He glared at me for no reason. He flicked me off. He dies." she muttered to him as Tsume stood stiffly and walked outside.
"You need to learn your place you little punk." He growled out before dashing up to Tsuki. He punched her once in the stomach before she caught the rhythm and side-stepped. now she wiped a bit of the blood that trickled down the corner of her mouth. He smirked and brought his foot crashing into her side. She winced in pain and fell to her knees. Tsume smirked and turned away, walking back to his interrupted sleep.
He didn't get even three steps away as Tsuki dropped onto his back and bit him in his shoulder. Blood began to blossom from the wound and Tsume howled a curse before he put his fists together and swung them around to Tsuki's face. Her grip on his collar bone loosened as she dropped to the ground again and as he raised his fist, waiting for her to rise again. And she did.
Tsuki slowly stood and leapt form her spot onto Tsume's arm which she bit again. He began thumping her head over and over again with his free lefthand. Tsuki smirked and dropped from sight. Tsume blinked slowly as his mind tried to assess where she went. Suddenly, a large punch was placed into his stomach, just as hard as the one he placed into Tsuki's. She watched as he dropped to his knees and then the ground. Now she rolled him onto his back and pulled him into a standing position by holding his shirt alone.
"Zakennaiyo." she growled into his face.
Suddenly, Tsuki felt a tight pressure grasp her throat and she began to fight, fists clenched, as Tsume stood, picking her up with him, and tossed her onto the roof of the cave. Still in the sunlight on top of the cave, Tsuki muttered a curse as she realized she was played, the ass played dead. Damn him. The ground then shuddered beneath her as Tsume jumped onto the cave's roof. Tsuki tried to stand, but didn't find the strength she needed so badly.
"Crap..." Tsuki muttered under her breath as Tsume yet again picked her up. He again grasped her by the throat and clenched his fist tighter and tighter. Tsuki suddenly saw something. No, not her life flashing before her eyes, but something else. The unknown man that had haunted her all her life. She felt the strength within her grasp and brought her foot up into the man's private. He again dropped her, feeling stupid to have fallen for that for the second time in five minutes.
Tsuki grinned and began to gasp in the air with giddy relief. It tasted so good. Then she felt herself fall as she realized she was too close to the edge of the cave's roof. The ground was cold and unforgiving and it stole her of the breath she badly needed. Another couple of gasps and Tsuki began her attempts to stand. Finally, as she righted herself, Tsume appeared in front of her and continued where he left off.
Tsuki again felt herself go limp; limp with pain, limp with desperation, limp with fear. Suddnely, Tsume tossed her into the far cave wall and walked back to his corner. Tsuki groaned and felt herself dragging into unconsciousness. She raised a weak hand and wiped some of the numerous amount of blood that now trickled out of her partially closed mouth. A gasp was heard and Tsuki looked up at the gasp's owner.
It was Toboe, and Tsuki grinned feebly,"I won, 'cause I don't feel like I lost." Tsuki gasped out to him, knowing her time was limited. Her ribs all felt broken, it hurt. It hurt bad. Her eyes held a fogginess that was associated with death, and Tsuki knew it was coming for her.
Suddenly, she felt a soft voice over her head,"This one is sorry. This one knows you aren't feeling well. This one wants to help." Suddenly the soft voice began to sing a lovely tune, and it had words too.Whispers in the night
Something true to the light
May the future always be bright
Especially for such a strong might
Visits of the night
Will cause panic and fright
But as the dawn brings out the light
The moon will always be there, glowing strong and bright
Suddenly, Tsuki felt herself drifting into the warmth of the song and noticed with a slow thought, this woman smelled of flowers.

Toboe walked over to where Kiba sat speaking in low tones with Tsume. Kiba looked up at him,"Yes?"
Toboe sighed,"Cheza managed to stabilize her." His eyes hardened a bit,"What was that for Tsume? We sheltered here, in the cave with her, and you were the one who started it!" Suddenly Toboe felt as if her had said too much. He lowered his head and did a 180, walking back to Cheza, Hige, and Blue. Blue sat against the walk, Tsuki's head on her lap. Thankfully, Tsuki's breathing was slow and steady.
"Will she be okay?" asked Hige slowly.
"Yes," replied Cheza,"This one says that she will get better quickly. She will recover."
"Are you sure?" asked Hige doubtfully,"I've never seen anyone take on Tsume and live to tell the tale."
"Kiba did." commented Blue slowly, her blue eyes filled with confidence for the young girl who nearly beat Tsume.
"Seriously?" asked Hige,"I never knew that!"
"Yeah, you were asleep after eating, andTsume wanted to move on, but Kiba didn't. Kiba won." answered Blue slowly.
"Oh."
"This one says she needs rest. This one and her." Blue smiled and let Cheza lean on her shoulders as Hige went off to pester Tsume and watch Kiba confront him. Toboe sat beside Blue, waiting for Blue's questions.
"Who is she?" Blue finally asked.
"Tsuki Sora." remembered Toboe from when he followed he into the woods.
"What did she do to piss off Tsume?"
"Tsume growled at her for rekindling the fire, and the both glared at each other."
"That's not enough for Tsume to try and kill her." replied Blue slowly,"What else? Did they say anything?"
Toboe nodded,"Tsuki said 'zabenmaiyo.' or something."
"Zakennaiyo?"
Toboe nodded,"Yeah, that one." Blue's eyes widened and she looked down at the sleeping Tsuki. Toboe glanced at her curiously,"What does it mean?"
"Nothing." stated Blue.
"What? If Tsume got angry over that, it had to be something good."
Blue just sighed,"Zakennaiyo, literally meaning from 'don't mess with me' to 'don't fuck with me.' Your friend must be pretty loose to say that line to Tsume, him being a total stranger to her and all. It's pretty much the ultimate bad-ass line."
Toboe's eyes were wide,"Tsuki said she didn't like strangers for some reason, she didn't say why though." Blue nodded.
"Well, there's nothing we can do for her. If Cheza says Tsuki will heal, then she will. And soon too." Blue's eyes were a soft color of blue as she said this. Her mind was whispering something about the lyrics Cheza had sung and why she had healed Tsuki, who most likely wasn't a wolf, but her eyes betrayed no emotion as she fell into another dream scape.
Toboe sighed and whispered quietly,"Get better Tsuki."
