"Tsume can I speak to you?" asked Toboe once Hige and Kiba had gone out to hunt for food, Tsume didn't want to go hunting with Kiba and had refused going, so Hige had taken his place. "Sure runt, I guess" Toboe skipped over to Tsume, "Tsume did you know that you talk in your sleep?" asked Toboe, Tsume flushed a light pink, "No, do I?" Toboe nodded, "You did that last night, that's why I went and comforted you" Tsume turned around embarrassed "I did not need your comforting" he spat at Toboe, "Well I thought I should have, seeing as you were sleep talking about me" Toboe smiled, and Tsume sat down "And what, might I ask, did I say about you?" he asked, "You said 'I'm sorry Toboe' you said it really loudly too… Kiba heard you I think" Tsume shrugged, "Yeah, well I suppose I am sorry for hurting you yesterday" Toboe smiled at Tsume, "I knew you had a nice side, Hige didn't believe me" Tsume walked off "I'm going for a walk" Tsume declared, Toboe ran after him "Can I come?" Tsume shook his head and Toboe stopped while Tsume walked off. Toboe was looking at the floor, "Oh all right you can come with me" Toboe punched the air happily and followed along behind Tsume like the pup he is.
"Tsume, where are we?" asked Toboe, it looked as though they had entered some kind of forest, "We are at lake Munga" Tsume answered bleakly, "But whats—
Toboe was cut off by the sound of a gun shot, closely followed by a short helpless howl, "Tsume! Someone's hurt cant we go and help them?" Tsume nodded, "Follow me runt" Toboe followed behind Tsume, easily keeping pace, his desperation getting the better of him. And then it hit him, the scent of…Hige's blood, "Oh no!" exclaimed Toboe, this was closely followed by a quizzical "What?" from Tsume, "Hige, I smell Hige's blood!" Toboe cried out, Tsume ran after Toboe whom, was following the scent closely. "Hige!" Toboe cried when he saw Hige on the ground, he was breathing but he had been shot in the back leg "Are you okay?" Hige smiled and said "Yeah, what are you doing here runt?" Tsume appeared behind Toboe "Saving your behind" said Tsume, Toboe nodded "Where's Kiba?" Hige shrugged, "He went after the gunman, I heard a gunshot shortly after though, I'll be fine to follow you there" Hige stood up and showed them the way Kiba went off to, they saw Kiba collapsed on the ground the gunman with his gun pointed directly at Kiba "Quent?" asked Hige with a puzzled look, "It is him I can smell him" Toboe looked at Hige wishing he had the ability to smell as well as Hige. Quent got ready to pull the trigger.
A wolf came suddenly out of nowhere and knocked Quent over in surprise, the wolf's teeth were bared, this wolf was ready to kill this man. The mysterious wolf growled at Quent, Hige could sense his fear, and knew how upset Blue would be to find out Quent was dead, Hige ran out to stop this wolf "Stop! Don't kill him" shouted Hige with Toboe and Tsume following close behind him. "And why shouldn't I kill this, this monster" the wolf snarled in return, it was then that Hige had a closer look at this wolf, it was a soft brown colour which tinted lilac in the sunlight, with perfect brown eyes which shone gold in the rays of light, Hige suddenly realised he had been gaping and replied with a blush "Blue, he's blue's owner, she's a friend of mine and would be terribly upset to hear he died." Hige smiled as the wolf let him go but sent him a warning growl. Kiba was just beginning to stand up to thank the young male wolf who had saved him. Kiba walked up to him. "Thank you for saving me" Kiba said gratefully, "Yeah Kiba, if he hadn't of saved you, you would have had your head shot off" Laughed Tsume, "Tsume!" Blinked Toboe, "That's not very nice to say" The wolf who had saved Kiba just nodded and smiled "Your welcome, but you know what I really find offending?" the wolf asked "What?" asked Toboe, Kiba, Tsume and Hige in unison.
"That you are all calling me a male wolf" Laughed the wolf, the others just stared in shock, Kiba was first to speak "Oh God, I was saved by a… Girl?" Toboe laughed at their reactions, Toboe had guessed when he had first seen this wolf arrive that she was female, he could tell a lot by her voice. Hige was standing with his mouth wide open, he seemed to be drooling a little, Tsume decided to knock some sense into him, "Ouch why did you hit me in the head?" asked Hige rubbing his head "You know why, porky" Tsume chuckled, "Oh so your name is porky hey?" asked the female wolf, Hige shook himself out of his reverie and scratched behind his head chuckling, "Ah no sorry, Tsume here just calls me that… You can call me Hige, babe, nice to meet you" Toboe giggled, that was so like Hige to hit on the first female he meets "Hi, and I'm Tsume, as porky over there already said" Tsume introduced, and Kiba shook out of his shock long enough to introduce himself "Yeah, and I'm Kiba sorry about the way I acted back there" Kiba said, the female wolf nodded smiling "That's okay, and who are you?" she smiles at Toboe, who seemed to be in some sort of daze, once he saw that she was speaking to him, he snapped out of it. "Oh me? I'm Toboe, whats your name?" Everyone was shocked when they realised they hadn't even bothered to ask her what her name is, trust Toboe to remember to ask Tsume laughs to himself. "I'm Sheila, nice to meet you all, and so what? Your all a pack?" Tsume shrugs, he'd never thought of it that way honestly, but Toboe piped up "Yeah, and we're all best friends, and we hunt together and stick together, and we're always nice to each other and— Ouch what was that for Tsume?" Tsume had kicked him in the back of the leg, "Ok I think your getting a little carried away" Tsume says to Toboe, Kiba nodded and Hige still seemed to be in la la land, now it was Toboe's turn to knock some sense into Hige. "Ouch!" Said Hige coming back down to earth, quick enough to see Sheila staring at him in amusement, Hige blushed. "Sheila, would you like to come back to our cave?" Asked Kiba, "Sure if you guys don't mind" Kiba smiled "Well you did just save my life, I owe you" Sheila nodded.
