Till death do us part.

Part 1.

"He went this way with the dogs!"

"Why did you let him pass? Damn moron!" The guard's bickering filled my ears. I was now getting extremely annoyed with them. How the hell were we going to get out of this mess? I turned my large, black head around, expecting to see red, flabby faced men, but I saw nothing but narrow corridors. The men were nowhere to be seen, but I knew they were hot on our tails. I was still running, to my disbelief, and the next thing I knew, I had bumped into Hige. He stopped, looking over his shoulder at me with an odd expression on his chubby face and then he wore a forgiving grin. I smiled back at this and then we carried on running down the white corridors. I glanced at a door far ahead that most probably leads to an unknown room and then I got an idea. I ran ahead of Hige and soon I then overtook the Casanova that I loved dearly and then the quiet white wolf.

"Follow me!" I hollered as I reached the door, hoping it was a closet big enough for all four of us to fit into. I wrapped one of my tan hands around the doorknob and flung the door open. It was small, as I observed, but it would be big enough for the time being. I looked back at the three male wolves and did a hand movement for them to follow me. Drake looked at me and then ran up to me in his charming disguise on. Even though I was blushing when he wrapped his arms around my waist-with an angelic smile on his perfectly carved face- I managed to get all three of them, including myself, into the cramped room before the guards came up the corridor. I heard the guards run up towards the door and then stop just in front of it. Their shadows spilled through the crack beneath the door and taunted my uneasy mind. Would they actually find us? I shot a panicked look at Drake, but he merely wore a careless look on his face. The latch of the door slowly moved back. They were going to find us. They were going to arrest Kiba and take us to the… What was it that Gramps called it? The pound? Whatever it was called, I knew it would be a gruesome place as goose bumps spread across my whole human body. It was either the thought of the pound that caused me to receive goose bumps or it was Drake who had put his arm around my shoulder and turned to face me which caused them. He removed a brown strand of my hair out of my eyes with his loose hand and smiled a reassuring smile at me in the darkness of the closet as I looked up at him with an unsure glance. Only then as I felt Drake's fingers touch my skin gently that I felt deep down, even netted in my heart, that everything would be alright and that no matter what happened, he would always be here for me. I smiled at this and then rested my head against his chest. It drew up and lowered again as we embraced this moment before the door would lash open upon us. Unforgiving yet punishing. I shuddered at the thought of them catching us and Drake could feel my body jolt in tension of this thought. He started stroking my hair soothingly and hummed a sweet lullaby to try to calm me down.

"It will be alright, Gypsy," He said, barely above a whisper in his sweet velvet voice as he carried on stroking my hair softly. Then I did something I never expected myself to do. I reached out towards his face and rested my hands against his smooth, sculptured face as my face drew slowly near to his. Forgetting about Hige and Kiba, he placed his fingers gently against my cheekbones as I closed my eyes and then our lips slowly lingered towards each other. Meeting his lips, we kissed passionately for the first time and ignored Hige's suppressed yelp as he watched the door slowly open. Drake caressed my back as I wrapped my arms around his neck and my heart felt like it was ready to leap out of my chest at any moment. As we took short breaks to breathe, Drake whispered words of love to me in his sweet, smug voice and then he gently met my lips again. Our kiss ended just as it started as the light from outside the room slip through the door's edges and then I inhaled a deep breath. Then I let out a long gush of air as the door opened more and then Drake leaned slowly towards my ear.

"You're beautiful," He whispered into my ear as if it would be the last thing he would ever say to me again and then he pressed his lips gently against mine once more before we parted. I heard someone snort from behind us, but I ignored it as I smiled beautifully at Drake, who returned it solemly. Just as the door was about to open fully, another man's voice could be heard from outside the closet and he was talking franticly.

"Darcia's here! He's here for Cheza!" The man shouted breathlessly and then chased the guards off, but he carried on standing outside the door. I held my breath in, wishing he would just leave, but he didn't budge.

"You can come out now, they're gone." He addressed us as he opened the door. He wore some kind of white business suit with a classic black tie and a blue-collar shirt. His hair was a dirty chocolate brown colour and was scuffled into a messy hairdo as I observed him closely. Drake looked at him closely with a lifted eyebrow as Hige stood next to Kiba nervously.

"Is Darcia really here for Cheza or was it just to get the guards away?" Kiba asked him as he simply didn't degrade his pride by looking at the man and so he instead looked down the corridor. The man scratched the back of his head and followed Kiba's gaze.

"Ya, he's up in the lab,"

"Thanks," Drake said with a warm smile as he took my hand and then looked at Kiba. "Let's go." He ordered and then we began running, leaving the man standing there by himself. I looked over my shoulder to look at him once more before we would probably never see each other again. He waved a goodbye with one hand and then he started shouting something at me.

"Name's Hubb! Good luck!" He shouted as he waved and then I smiled at him once just before I turned around again. "Be careful wolves," Was the last thing I heard him murmur to us and then he walked away as we ran further up the corridors. As we then came ran up the solid, white stairs of stones, nearer came the glorious smell of flowers. Was this how Lunar Flowers actually smelt? I am now in love with two things… I am in love with my Casanova and the smell of her… I hope we aren't too late.

Alright, here's my tenth chapter! I have a sad surprise when the chapter 11, Till Death Do us Part, part 3 comes on… I'm not goanna tell you what it is because that will ruin the cliffhanger. At least I'm giving you all a little bit of a warning, so be prepared… Don't you like my Hubb scene? I know it was so short and that is the first and maybe the last time you will ever read about him in my story. :o I also liked the kiss part and there may be more romantic scenes following on with my story. Who knew I could write like this…

Enough A.N's, if you like my story you know what to do, press the green button! ;)
