What a Birthday

Last chapter

When I was done I looked over at Gaara who was now eating his soup. I decided since I couldn't think of anything to talk about I opened my sketch book to an unfinished picture of Ookami I had been working on. While I was drawing I felt breathing on my neck which made the hairs on my neck stand on end.

Chapter 4 the five wolves

"hello little girl" a creepy voice sounded from behind me. I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder which made a shiver run up my spine. In a fluent motion i grabbed the persons hand and arm, flipping them over my shoulder onto the ground in front of me. Then stradeling the persons back I then grabbed a fist full of his hair and dislodged a kunai from the holster on my thigh and pressed it against his throut. When I saw the persons face I jumped up in surprise because it was my brother Jone. Jone started chuckling while on the ground. As soon as Jone got up from the ground and saw my face he stopped laughing but then a smirk broke out on his face and soon after began laughing again. "Hey take it easy sis i was just playing, no need to be so serious" he said smiling and putting his hands up defensively when i held my hand up to punch him. " Don't do that again, anyways why are you here?" I asked, punching Jones arm playfully. " Everyone is getting ready to go to bed, so i came to tell you. Anyways, what were you drawing before i interupted?" he asked, pointing towards my sketch pad. It was still laying on the ground where it had been thrown when I had been spooked by Jone." It was nothing important, anyways i'll catch up with you in a minute so go ahead" i said. Happy my anger was subsiding ,I bent down to pick up my dropped skecth pad. Jone said waved goodbye and headed back towards camp.

I picked up my sketch pad and picked up my empty bowl. I looked over at Gaara and he hadn't even moved an inch since i looked last. Only his bowl was set down beside him. I walked over and stood beside him, all Gaara did was glance at me and close his eyes again.

"Are you done?" I asked cheerfully pointing to his empty soup bowl. I heard nothing from him so i took it as a yes and picked up the bowl and started towards camp. " bye Gaara see you tommorow" i said as I started towards camp again.

When i got to camp Emma was sitting down right outside the camp and was shakeing excitedly. It made me wonder what happened when i left. I spotted John across the camp chatting with Baki. I walked over to them latching onto Johns arm and began pulling him away from Baki. " Can i borrow him for a minute" i asked looking at Baki for approval. He nodded and I started dragging John away until I thought we are far enough away.

"So why is Emma all jumpy and hyper?" i asked crossing my arms across my chest.

"Somehow she got hold of a pie and ate piece of it." he said sighing to himself.

"So what are we going to do now?" i asked.

"Baki and I decided that she would keep watch until her energy goes down. It's time to hit the sack we have a long way to go tommorow." he said smiling. He hugged me and walked away to talk with Temari.

I walked over to where my sleeping bag was placed, I put my sketch book in my bag and climbed into the sleeping bag and zipped it up. I closed my eyes and a couple of minutes later I felt myself start to drift into unconsciousness.

When I opened my eyes I was surround by darkness. I moved around and i felt no solid ground below me, it felt like I floating. The feeling made me panic and i began searching for solid to grab hold of but found nothing. Then it occured to me that I did not seem to be falling but mearly floating in this endless darkness. I was no longer panicing now but intreaged as to how i got here. I put my hand in front of my face and i could see them clear as day. Suddenly there was a cold breeze which made my eyes water, I shielded my eyes with my hands until I couldnt feel anymore wind pushing against them. When I removed my arms from my face and opened my eyes, instead of me floating in the darkness like before, I was surrounded all direction by grass. When I looked around something caught my eye to the north of me and i saw a bunch of black clouds coming in my direction. That's not good I thought, I better find somewhere to take shelter. I looked around for something to take shelter from the inpending storm but all I saw in every direction was grass.

I spotted a brownish dot in the distance I squinted trying to see what it was. I thought it was a large pine tree. I started walking towards the tree and by the time I was half way there the black rain clouds had now almost over top of me. I heard a loud rumbling sound from above which made me quicken my pace and because i had no interest in being caught in potiential downpour. After two more rumbles I was now running, desperately trying to get to the tree in time. My heart was beating against my chest like a drum. When I got to the front the tree, I stopped, trying to catch my breath. Then suddenly there was a flash of light as a lightning bolt hit right next to me sending me flying against the tree. I felt pain go through all of my body.

I squinted my eyes and looked over to where the lighting had hit grass. Where the lightning had hit I saw electrical sparks. Suddenly the sparks began getting closer and closer together until they actually formed a ball of light. My eyes widened in surprise. I couldn`t wrap my head around what was happening. I closed my eyes and hoped it would go way but when I opened them it was still there. I waited for a bit but nothing happened and after a couple more seconds my fear subsided and my curiosity got the best of me. I started moving towards the ball. Suddenly the ball moved making me jump back in fright. Then right before my eyes the ball began to shape, bend, and stretch itself. The ball did this until it wasn't a ball anymore instead is was a two story high, two tailed, white and yellow wolf was standing before me. When the wolf opened it's eyes I gasped as it had yellow eyes with vertical slits through it. Suddenly an inferno sprung up out of nowhere to the right of me making my heart beat faster. The the fire also started to shape it self until it became a wolf as well. This wolf had red fur instead of yellow fur and had red eyes. Then a puddle seemed form out of nowhere just to the left of the yellow wolf. The wolf seemed to be paying no notice. The puddle of water formed into a blue wolf and had blue eyes.

A strong gust of icy wind from the right of the red wolf made my eyes begin to water making my vision blurry, when my vision cleared laying beside the red wolf was a grey wolf. I heard something that sounded like snoring coming from the grey wolf and his eyes were closed. Suddenly a clacking sound to the left and when I turned to look I saw rocks starting to stack up on each other and mold together until they also formed a giant brown two tailed wolf. When this wolf was done forming it shook itself then proceeded to puff its chest out in a prideful manner. I waited and looked around expecting another wolf to pop out of nowhere. " There aren't any others, so don't worry" said the blue wolf sincerely.

I realized that I recognized that voice. " Hina?" I asked. The blue wolf nodded in response. " I can't believe your our host and can be scared so easily, how pitiful " said the red wolf with a snide smile lowering his eyes so they were level with mine. " I wasn't scared, just surprised. " I said jumping to my feet. The red wolf pooking his nose angrily. " ha ya, like the brat you were probably so scared that you wet your pants" the red wolf said in a mocking tone. "No I didn't" I said angrily. "sure you didn't" said the red wolf snidely " Chi stop it" Hina said angrily growling at the red wolf and hit him over the head with her paw.

" Sorry Hailey ignore Chi he doesn't mean any of that that, do you Chi." As Hina said that, I heard Chi grumble to himself making Hina turn and glare at him. "So why am I here and where are we exactly?" I asked gesturing to the grass field around us. " Well to answer your secound question actually we're in your mind and the reason why you are here think back to our conversation earlier" Hina said bending down so her eyes were level with mine. I began to replay mine and Hina's coversation from early today when it hit me. " I remember you were going to tell me about the the Ookami" I exclaimed remembering our coverstation earlier in the day.

" Actually our name is Gogyou which means five elements." She then proceded to intrduce me to the other three wolves. The hyper one to the left of me is called Aki, to the right of me is Chi as you already know, the grey wolf sleeping next to Chi is named Kira, and then the last of us Jin." said Hina gesturing to each wolf in turn as she introduced them. Even from my first impression I could tell Hina was most polite of the group.

" Well it is nice to meet all of you. So why did you want to meet me today anyways it couldn't just be to introduce yourselves" I asked curiosly crossing my arms over my chest and leaning against the tree behind me."

" Well its almost morning so it is time for us to leave so goodnight, see you soon." Hina said. She got up and walked away and the others followed her. I tried to call out to her to stop, but suddenly my vision went black andwthen my eyes shot open i was back in camp where everyone had just begun to wake up.
