Wow! 50 reviews… that's amazing, I didn't know I had that many until I looked. Thanks everyone! I have terrible news as well. 1/17/06 R.I.P Boots, the dog that ate the hambone as I said before. We had to put him down because he had bone cancer…May he live in Paradise.

20.

"Get the Book. I'm going to read the incantation and then we'll have another wolf warrior," the voice laughed. Kiba looked up into the shadowy figure as the images flood into his mind. It was the man that knocked him out before they went to jail. Kibas' eyes narrowed and his bared his teeth through the gap.

"If you didn't lose the White wolf then we would have had those months ago," Tsume remarked smirking.

"Quiet! I can send you to the sewers dog…"

"HA! I doubt that, Tsukimono finds me more valuable than you."

Blade's good eye glared deep sapphire, "I'm the only one who can read this language, you are not touched by the moon. Dog!"

"By that stupid glass eye and the moon shape on your head?" He finally found the book and turned open to the page. Tsuki gasped a bit. Her eyes widen. Blade snatched it out of his hands and spat on him.

"I'll do the ceremony; you go out and check on the monitors. Those wolves might still be alive... Agent 47 didn't finalize his findings. They probably got away," he glared at Tsume and walked out.

Tsume snorted after he left, "ridiculous fool…"

He went through a bookshelf and picked up the only book that wasn't covered in dust. It had blood red binding and the crest on its cover glowed moonlight. He smiled and opened its pages, "if the Book is the only thing that can cure this pathetic body I have…"

Kiba jumped on him and held him down. He pinned him to the floor, making sure he can't throw him off. Tsume turned his head; a beady black eye stared at Kiba.

"Get off of me…"

"Never, I'm going to get rid of you and bring my friend back."

Neko ran out the door and through the tunnels to find Blade. Tsuki ran with her. Tsume-imposter struggled but Kiba dug his claws into him and he growled.

Tsuki and Neko slowly opened the door to the dungeon. They found Blade was there cursing before dropping the book and running out the door. They quickly grabbed the book and ran upstairs as fast as their legs could carry.

They burst through the door, "Kiba he's coming!"

Kiba looked at the door and saw the handle turned slowly. Without a second thought he grabbed Tsume and threw them through the door into the tunnel. Tsuki and Neko closed the door softly so the door was just a wall they came through. They moved down the stairs slowly. Kiba had a tight hold on him. He didn't bother to leave. Tsuki stood guard for Kiba to make sure to catch him if he left. Neko did he same, keeping her claws unsheathed in case he made a move she could easily attack him.

They finally made it to the basement with the cooks. Jocque watched them as they pulled Tsume up first, "Whatcha be doin'! he's the new general! He'll have our heads!"

"No he wont, not when I'm here," Kiba growled to Tsume. Never taking an eye off of him, " quick Tsuki, read the incantation!"

She jumped out and stepped into the light looking for a page, "I can read this..."

"You are the daughter of the moon," Neko shouted, "look harder!"

With that Tsume threw Kiba off of them and jumped at him. Kiba blocked his blow and bit his leg to get him away. The others heard the commotion, and Hige jumped out from the storage room and tackled Tsume down, putting all of his weight on him. Kiba carefully bit down on his muzzle as a warning but not wanting to hurt him.

Tsuki browsed the pages, time stood still around her. She didn't know if she could read it. She can't see any words from the symbols. She stared at it then something strange happened, the script was forming infront of her eyes.

Tsume escaped from their hold and they tried to take him down, Neko dug her claws into him but he threw her off and she flew across the room, hitting wall and fell. Jocque ran to Neko while keeping clear of the wolves.

"Umrara Luna rem di elnella ticaca," Tsuki read, her birthmark on her head glowed and the moon shined through the window. She continued, "iso nome tona cleara avive Luna!"

The light shown on Tsume and he yelled. His body crumbled below him and he fell. A blacken shadow flew out of him and he glowed white for a few seconds. Kiba watched the spectacle, wiping the blood and dirt off of his skin.

Tsuki closed the book and looked at him. Tsume lay there, still but breathing.

"He's sleeping now, it wont be until morning before his spirit wakes," Tsuki said and sat down.

Jocque walked over with a limp white form in his hands, "she's dying."

Kiba jumped up, "Neko!"

He moved her over on a table carefully, setting her down on the surface. By now everyone emerged from the storage room, even the beat up Toboe. They circled around Neko.

"Don't… worry about… me," her voice came out as short rasps. Toboe was crying, petting her broken body, "death is just the beginning… my... young wolves… I'm glad to … have joined you… I see… Paradise…"

She took her last breathe and closed her crystal blue eyes. Everyone had tears in their eyes, even Kiba. He remembered how she first talked to him and even saved his life. Kiba let out a soft howl. Everyone joined him in a silent hum. They were cut short before the alarms of the castle set off.

"Wolf alarm! You must leave now!" Jocque shouted. Kiba grabbed Tsume, Hige helped lift him and they ran through the tunnels again, this time heading to Paradise.

Sorry again, I'll try to update faster!
