I own no character except Jordan! Please read and review!
Okay this chapter is sad as it goes in accordance to the final episode of Wolf's Rain. If you don't like it, i'm sorry. With the way I wrote this story, It was following the Anime Plotline, almost the whole time. This chapter has all those main character deaths. It pained me to write this chapter.

Last time:
"Comfort your friends, Tsu," I smiled at him sadly then ran off. 'My wound is worse this time and there isn't much time left for me. We'll meet again in time Tsume, I'm no longer afraid of my end. I know that you said you wouldn't leave me alone but Toboe meant something to you more than the rest of the pack. You need time before fighting against Darcia for the future.'
Jordan started climbing the mountain, knowing that she'd leave the perfect trail for the others to follow. She could feel Darcia nearby also starting to climb the mountain to reach the top and pushed herself faster, despite her grievous side wound. Several organs had been nicked when Quent had shot her in his anger and sadness. Rocks started to fall around her and she whimpered as she slid down a few feet in the rockslide.
It was getting harder to breathe... It was starting to get really high up and the snow started to get thicker. She passed the Tower of the Seal and the old tree and continued up, seeing wolf prints in the ground, signaling that Darcia had gained the ability to transform. As Jordan reached the top of the mountain and found Darcia waiting, southern Aurora lights appeared and danced across the night sky.
"Coming alone again, my pet?" Darcia laughed and Jordan snorted. "Last time didn't end so well for you, now did it?"
"Last time, I was trying to run from humans, this time I have come to kill you, even if it means I lose what life I have left to live," Jordan spoke calmly. "I've accepting meeting my end."
"Then I will take you there, you pathetic wolf," Darcia growled as he jumped at her.
Jordan jumped to meet him, her teeth bared and claws extended. She got a swipe at his back as he clawed her already wounded side, making it bleed faster. She howled in pain and it echoed off the mountain side. Jordan jumped back and lunged again only to be tossed into the side of the mountain, Darcia's fangs embedded in her shoulder. She clawed at his head and bit the side of his neck, making him release her and they lunged and clawed at each other again. Jordan heard a cry below her as Darcia bit into her neck, barely missing a major artery and knew that Cheza and the others were not far behind. Darcia threw the white wolf off the edge to the mountain side below and she saw Blue and Hige before she collided in the rocks.
"Jordan!" Hige cried as they ran to her limp body.
"H-hey guys... Don't underestimate Darcia... I'm just... g-going to t-take a little nap..." Jordan whispered, closing her eyes as she heard Darcia growling at the pack.
Everyone looked at her appauled. Her usually clean white fur was matted with blood and dirt. Only a few spots had remained white, showing her colors.
"Jordan, Hige!" Tsume cried as he saw them, lying in pools of their own blood. Next to Hige, who was sitting against a rock with blood running down from his wounded neck,was Blue who was also lying in a pool of blood.
"Hey," Hige spoke weakly. "You finally made it. Cheza was taken by that freak. Kiba went after him." Hige explained as he ran over to the three wolves.
"Don't try to talk," Tsume snapped and saw Jordan lift her head only to turn it so she could look at him with her amethyst eyes.
"I need you to do me a favor," Hige whispered, smiling. "I want you to do it with your own fangs. Can't you forgive me yet? Tsume, am I still nothing but a traitor to you?"
"That doesn't matter anymore," Tsume shook in grief.
"Please... I'm in pain here..."
Tsume shook for several minutes before finally resolving his friend's request and bit down on his neck.
"Let's meet again next time... in Paradise," Hige smiled as he took his last breath.
"Jordan," Tsume whimpered as he pulled away from the brown wolf to look at the still bleeding white wolf.
"Tsu...me..." She whispered, blinking slowly as she hid her pain well. "I... was glad... to have met you... Our pasts are similar... in many ways with being alone... You... you need to go help Kiba... finish Darcia and open par... adise..."
"Jordan, stop tal..."
"I... don't have much time left here... Tsu...me... I'm glad I stayed with you... I didn't have to... to die alone... like I had always feared... We WILL meet again one day... Tsu...me..."
"Jordan...?"
Tsume growled panicked as her eyes closed and he heard her exhale but didn't hear any other noise except the howling wind, the fights above and the beating of his own heart. She was no longer there, just like Hige and Blue. Tsume started shaking in his anger and dashed towards the fights, stopping Darcia from killing Kiba but was unable to continue as he felt heat rush down his left side. He slumped against a rock and slid to the ground.
"Tsume, are you alright?" Kiba ran back towards him.
"I'm a little tired," Tsume muttered, holding his side. "Go after him!"
"Tsume..."
"He's dead, He asked me to put him down," Tsume sighed, resting his head on the rock behind him. "I don't feel like moving around anymore. I knew it all along, somewhere deep down, I knew. That's why I lived the way I did. When I met you, It was so obvious. I would never be the one to open paradise. Just go," Tsume hissed as he felt pain erupt from his side.
"Hang in there..."
"He has to be stopped..."
"Grab on," Kiba spoke, touching his shoulder.
"Get the Hell out of here," Tsume yelled, slapping his arm away. Kiba finally nodded then disappeared over the cliff's edge to go after Cheza and Darcia. Tsume forced himself to his feet and stumbled back down the mountain, going back to be with Jordan and Hige. He barely was able to stay coherent enough to get there without falling off the edge and collapsed next to Jordan's cold body.
"We'll all meet again... in Paradise," Tsume thought happily as darkness captured him.
