"What buisness does Kuro want with me? He knows not to bother me when I wat some peace." Kana stood up and stared at the older one of the two wolves. All she could do is sigh. "My brother was always such a big pup." She walked past the wolves who bowed low to her. "Yoru, remember what I've told you and never look back." Kana dissappeared in the thick woods. Yoru stared off almost forgetting the two wolves that have been there the whole time. "Come," said the older wolf, "We'll take you back to the town there is something that must be discussed." Yoru tilted her head to the side. "Everyone is being so weird today." She said and followed the wolves. As soon so they reached town Yoru stopped and was lost deep in her thoughts. She knew something was wrong and called out to Ki, the older wolf. He was reluctant to say anything and kept walking. Satou, the other wolf turned to her and spoke in a low voice.

"We were ordered to escort you safly out of town."

"What!? Why?!"

He shushed her, "No more questions for now. We'll answer them later."

She huffed and continued. "I don't get it. Does grandma want me out of town?"

"Well well well, whats going on here? You wouldn't be running away now, would you?"

Ki, Satou, and Yoru turned to see a small group of wolves following close. "Mind your buisness Ada, this has nothing to do with you." Ki snapped.

"Of course it does. It's for the future of the pack. I'm just here to make sure that the job is done."

"Job? What job?" Yoru Looked over to Satou, "What is she talking about?"

Satou nudged her. "We need to keep moving."

Yoru grabbed his arm as they turned around. "What is going on? What are you hiding from me?"

Ada spoke up, "Everyone here wants you dead. You were suppose to die that day. You should've just died along with your filthy father. He was a fool to try to protect you from us."

Ki was now inches away from her face. "You're the foolish one for taunting me like this. I told you to stay out!" Yoru stared at Ada and her troops then at Satou and then back confused. "My father protected this pack with his life! He was killed by…"

"By the humans? I guess you could say that since we all can take human form."

Ki struck Ada in the face. "You little bitch! I told you to shut yer ass up! Don't act all high just because you have us out numbered!" Ki clutched her by the throat and struck her again. "Now," Ki said coldly. "Call off this little circle before I teach you some manners."

Yoru laid half dead in an icy dark cage. She lazily opened her eyes and looked around the area. It was a cramped room full of cages and older wolves close to death. She could feel them staring at her, whispering about how lucky she was to still be alive. She took in the air around her. It was stale and unfriendly mixed with the scent of Ki's and Satou's blood. She lost them for ever but not the image of their mangled, torn bodies that lay lifeless in the middle of the streets she was forced to leave, remembering Ada's last cruel words, the sight of fangs, and blood. "Have at her."

Yoru sat up holding her head panting. She closed her eyes to concentrate on her breathing then opened them to get a good look at her surroundings. She sat in the corner of what use to be a house. There was nothing much left but three walls and some empty windows. The sun was warm and inviting to her outstretched hand. 'Of course I would be stuck in the only corner that has a ceiling.' She quickly recoiled further into her corner fur standing on ends.

"Great, you're awake!" Toboe cheerfully walked over to her.

She flatened her ears and gave a deep growl stopping him from getting any closer.

"I won't hurt you." He smiled. "You know, the sun feels really nice."

Yoru crept from her dark place and fully into the light. Toboe looked at her from head to toe, she caught him staring. "I, umm, like your tail." She flicked it back and forth as a way of saying 'What of it?'

He scratched his head and blushed. "I think its pretty."

She tilted her head her tail swaying. They stared at each other for a moment wondering what to do next. Her silence made him fell a bit awkward.

"Oh yeah! My name's Toboe. Nice to meet you."

'I guess I can tell him my name,' she thought. "My name is…" her ears laid flat as she retreated to her corner.

"Hey, you're alive after all." Hige came into the area with a big smile on his face. "Why are you all the way over there?" he asked Toboe.

"She likes her space. She doesn't trust us yet."

'Us?! Just how many of you are there?' Her stare shifted between the two males until Toboe caught her gaze. "I guess she wants to know your name."

"Then she should say her's first." Tsume said from a distance. "It would cause us a lot of trouble if you don't tell us." Tsume said stepping closer and closer towards her. "So, What's your name?" Yoru growled. "Tsume, you're too close!" Toboe alerted.

"No need to rush her, she'll tell us her name when she's ready." Kiba said in a calming tone as he entered the room.

"He's right. Besides, I don't know about you guys but I'm starved." Hige said reaching into his pocket pulling out a small loaf of meat. It had some chunks missing from it. Tsume, Kiba, and Toboe just stared at Hige, who was smiling weakly. Yoru laid down and crossed her front paws. "Here, I bet you must be hungry." Toboe held out a piece of meat. She couldn't refuse because her stomache made such a terrible noise and everyone was looking at her. She ate and went back to her corner to sleep.

"Strange girl," Hige thought as Yoru followed them from behind.

"I understand she wants her space and all, but don't you think that she could give us a break?"

Yoru's ears twitched when she heard what Hige said. Tsume just grunted glaring at her over his shoulder. "Wouldn't it cause a problem if the humans saw her like that?" He asked.

She slowed her pace and then stopped. 'No smart wolf would ever travel the city alone. I'm no ordinary wolf, I was born to be alone.' She nodded to the males then went off in the opposite direction. 'Thanks.'

"Where the hell does she think she's going?" Tsume yelled.

"She never said that she would come with us." Kiba calmly replied.

"But," Toboe paused. "It just doesn't feel right. I mean, she shouldn't be on her own just yet."
