Hello! Chapter number 2 up… I realized this is going to be a LONG story... Grrrr... Also note that I don't want to keep EVERYTHING in the original wolf's rain the same in my sequel...if some things are changed it's purposely done, unless said otherwise. I believe that there was something different in the first chapter, it was intended.

Kiba walked home with the red leaves in his jacket pocket. He starred at the ground. His memories replayed over in his mind. Walking through the winding streets, so much of this place was just like his previous life. The population, lack of spirit, and lifestyles of these people shadowed those of his previous life. There was one difference, there were no nobles to run cities or burn them.

Shouts erupted from the corner, he turned around the corner. There was a small circle of people shouting and encouraging the two fighters in the middle. Kiba moved to the ring to see the fighters. One was a rugged man with short hair and the other man was a grey hair, with tight leather clothes. Kiba's eyes widened and he pushed forward to grab him.

"Tsume!"

Tsume looked to the direction of Kiba, noticing the same man he saw before. He looked so familiar to him. The other fighter had a knife in his hand, he slashed Tsume's chest into a big X. Tsume growled and tackled the man down. As his blood ran down his chest, his body reformed, shaping into a great grey wolf. He howled. The man screamed under him, his writhing body trying to shake the wolf off of him. Everyone gasped and backed away or ran.

Kiba stood there amazed; it was just like he remembered. Tsume slowly lowered his head and bit the man's throat, he went limp. He jumped off of him, shaking excess blood from his fur. Everyone was gone by then. Tsume looked up at Kiba.

His golden eyes starred up at Kiba, "I remember you, I don't know how, but you know me. And you also know what I am."

Kiba reached into his pocket and grabbed a red leaf and held it out to him, "this is a leaf from Cheza, if you eat it, and you'll remember everything."

Tsume formed back into a human to avoid suspicions or any other dark creatures that survive during the night. Tsume grunted and took the leaf slowly from his hand. Tsume was pondering whether or not to eat it. He starred down at the blood color leaf, yellow eyes searching, examining for any signs of death. He looked up to Kiba's big sea eyes, seeing the trust in them. He nodded and slid the leaf through his mouth and chewed.

Tsume paused and starred off into space, mouth wide open in wonder as he saw somewhat the same visions Kiba had. Kiba meanwhile, watched around for any signs of cops. Kiba caught the sound of a siren far off. Tsume was still having the vision. Kiba stood ground, trying to find the police and which way they are going.

Tsume finally woke. He looked at Kiba, almost in shock.

"All of that happened, didn't it? Everything?"

Kiba nodded. He turned around and the sirens stopped moving, they were at the end of the alleyway.

"Tsume, time to go!"

Tsume started running, Kiba followed closely behind. They ran up the fire escapes on the buildings, Kiba tried to find a way to avoid the cops and find a place to hide. Tsume led him across the rooftops of the old crumbling buildings. Sirens filled the air with high pitched screams; further away Kiba thought he heard the sound of helicopters.

Tsume stopped and looked around, the lights of buildings reflected daylight off the skyscrapers, as did the moon. Tsume looked up at the moon; it was a crescent, a sliver in the sky.

Kiba stopped and looked at him. Tsume's blood had stopped; nevertheless it left blood stains along his clothing and skin, and said "you're a wolf, aren't you?"

Tsume nodded, "I was born in a forest miles from here, it's gone now."

Kiba nodded and looked around; the wind swept his black hair away from his eyes. Search lights surrounded them, he looked to Tsume.
"Time to go," Tsume sighed and ran, jumping down the building. Kiba continued on, he lack the physical strength of Tsume, though he was able to keep up with the wolf. Tsume took to the streets again; they crossed the alleyways, sweeping the streets as they tried to find a place to hide.

Tsume stopped finally. Kiba was breathing deeply; he swayed and leaned over as he tried to catch his breath. Tsume took out guns from his thigh holsters. He cocked the guns, Kiba's head snapped up to see some police running after them. They wore some dark jumpers, gas mask-like face coverers. They carried what looked like a giant super soaker water guns, they were really acid shooters. The acid wasn't strong enough to consume your skin but strong enough to cause second degree burns and itch.

"Run"

Kiba nodded and sprinted off to a nearby warehouse. He crouched down by some dumpster, watching as Tsume began shooting the Agents as those particular police were called.

Tsume was doing rather well; the acid missed him as the Agents ran after him and attempt to spray him with the acid. A strange smell of chicken claimed him; he turned around and starred into a dark figure he couldn't make out. A hard thing swiped over the back of his head. His eyes rolled seeing stars as he fell unconscious...

Now, who can it be? Did the Agents capture him? Does someone mean to kill him…? Find out next time.
