Chapter 3: Paradise???

A feminine curvy figure stood on top of a building overlooking Freeze city. Her long black hair laid against her shoulders like silk. She wore a black dress just above the knees with knee high leather black heeled boots. A black zip up hoodie covered the upper part of the sleeveless dress.

Her brown tanned skin stood out from the night sky as the lights from the tall dome shine over the city. She stood on the tallest building that just about reached the top of the dome. Wind blow her hair back from an opening. The city wall. Her eyes narrowed.

'I can leave through there. I smell fresh air just over that wall.'

She was just at the police station maybe a few hours ago when the fuzzy light brown wolf saved her from some unknown fate. She learned what he meant right away just by looking at him in is...Human form and walked away out the station without him or anyone else noticing or even caring.

She tucked her human hands into her pockets suddenly frowning in disgust. 'This just doesn't feel right. Me parading around looking like a human. To make matters worse…I had to associate with them.'

That's right. After wondering around the streets for god knows how long, she sucked in her gut and went up to one. She feigned innocence asking many people about what was this and what was that. And they told her too…Thinking she was this poor retarded girl. She let them believe that despite her pride and aching fangs that were just begging to tear through flesh.

'Damn humans…' She sighed turning away and jumping down the long building. 'Hn…And I couldn't even do this to get away from a mere child.' She felt herself feeling guilty for what she did earlier that day. The two boys from before were children and she almost sank her teeth into one of them.

'I might hate them, but I would never go so low as to killing one of their children. I still have my dignity.'

Her heeled boots landed on the ground with a small click as she started walking through the streets with many other citizens. A frown graced her face with the variety of smells from cheap cologne and/or perfume. With the restaurants and any type of odor mixed all into one was really not what she was use to. One smell though…Over powered them all.

'That flower…Now that is one thing I have not learned about today. Why does the smell reek around this whole city?'

She pulled her hood over her head turning into an alley. She felt she wasn't going to find out anyway fore she was leaving there soon. She just needed to find this Hige and then she would be on her way.

'He helped me out of that dreadful place after all. The least I can do is thank him.'

She sighed stopping near the side of a building. 'If only I knew where he was. This place is full of weird scents and it's extremely big no less...I'll never find him at this rate.'

"This is awful." She's alert hearing a voice from a narrowed space just in front of her view. She raises an eyebrow feeling her curious nature kicking in. Another spoke making her perk up. She smiled happily hearing the voice of the person that just seconds ago, invaded her thoughts.

"Hige," she whispers jogging toward the alley as her hood slid from her head. Finally! She was going to thank him and be out of there! She didn't think her nose could take much more of the big almost half deserted city.

She slides to a halt though when something steps into her path. White as snow fur, fine pointed ears, jet black nose with bright yellow eyes. She stared in awe before blinking once. Only then after that one blink, she was met with a dark brown haired, blue eyed…Human…

She narrowed her eyes subconsciously. This must have been the white wolf Hige was talking about. Her eyes traveled from his head to toe. He was a…Decent looking human, she couldn't deny that…Still she decided she quite liked his white fur more than his smooth skin.

Their eyes locked. Blue vs. Red. Though blue seemed to have won the unknown battle as she averted her eyes elsewhere rubbing her arm with uncertainty. Why was she acting like this? She was a damn wolf! A strong and proud one at that! So why was it that this one male had her averting her eyes in fear? No, scratch that…In submission?

'Tsk…Mating season must be right around the corner. God Damnmit…Why now of all places?'

In the past, every mating season she was sorted out by many males, but she was never interested in neither of them. She would growl and snap her fangs threateningly if they got near. But, of course, just like any female, she was in heat, and would bow down in submission...Just a bit. So, being the male wolves that they are, she was sniffed upon, nipped, caressed, and even humped. Yet, she wasn't really fond of that memory.

She shakes her head. There was no time to think about nonsense. The guy was probably thinking she was crazy right now. She sighed looking back at him with her mouth slightly ajar as if about to say something. But…There was only an empty space.

'Well…Damn…' She raises an eyebrow. Well…Maybe this was a good thing. He saved her the trouble of even saying anything to him. She shrugs walking to the alley. Laying on the ground was the stocky fuzzy wolf as if bored. She smiles walking up to him slowly. His back remained turned from her until his nose starts to flare.

'Hey…I know that smell!' He turns to her standing with happiness on his face. "Hey, it's you!" He walked closer to her, grin never leaving his face. "I thought I told you to wait for me back there. I turn around and you're no where to be found," his grin widens with closed eyes as he place his hand on his hip rubbing his nose with the other, "Though, I already knew where you were with my awesome nose." He chuckles as she raises an eyebrow.

"Well," she mumbles changing the subject, "I wanted to say thank you…For helping me back there." She flushes a bit looking down at the suddenly interesting ground. Hige opens his eyes smiling gently before saying, "Hey, I just got you out of the cage, that's all. You did the rest all on your own."

"I know, but still…Thank you."

"Hey, I couldn't just let such a babe be caged. My heart just couldn't take the torture." Breeze giggles. This guy wasn't so bad. As a human his wore a yellow with black strips on the short sleeves hoodie with a black long-sleeved undershirt. Normal clothes for a human, though something stood out from the rest. An oversized collar with an metal 'X' on it. But, as a wolf it fitted perfectly.

Hige noticed her staring and grinned seductively pointing to the collar. "You wanna wear it?" Breeze blushed narrowing her eyes giving a quick but silent warning. He grins holding up his hands in defensively, "Uh…I was only kidding." 'Wow…She's quick…She saw right through me.'

"Anyway…I should go." She turned her back from him. Perhaps, she was a bit off. He wasn't so bad…Just a pervert. There we go. Much better. 'Even though wearing his collar isn't very perverse…But that grin really gave him away.'

"Wait," he yells stopping her, "Don't you need help?" She turned slightly to him with a raised eyebrow. He scratches the back of his head grinning, "Well, last time we met, you didn't even know what a human was. I take it…You didn't know a lot of things before you were caged right?"

Breeze stares him down for a few seconds and then turning away with closed eyes. "…You're right. I knew nothing." "Great! Then stick with me! I'll teac--" "I said I knew…Nothing...But what I didn't know then, I know now. Now, if you'll excuse me."

Walking out the alley she looked at the ground, but her eyes dilated slighty and her ears twitched. She turned around slowly to see Hige right behind her. " Why are you following me," she says monotone. He shrugs. "My friend went this way. Just going to go look him." He smiles placing his hands behind his head.

She looks him up and down suspiciously. He just continues to smile. She narrows her eyes sighing. "Whatever." She turns back around walking slowly forward. He's now beside her but she chose to ignore him. She felt herself getting too close. She didn't want that. Unknown reasons to her, but she just knew something bad would happen if she started trusting others out the blue. Especially being from another time, there was no telling how these humans or wolves acted. So she'll keep her distance.

"Have you heard of paradise?" She snaps her head to the stocky fellow. She tiltes it in confusion. "Paradise?" With his hands still behind his head, he blinks looking ahead with a innocent look on his face.

"Ok. Now I can kinda understand you not knowing what humans are, but to not know Paradise? That's just plain strange. Were you living under a rock your whole life?" She looked away from him ignoring him and his insult by lowering her head and placing her hand on her chin. Hmm…Paradise…

*~`Flashback`~*

The sun shone over the greenery of the home to many small woodland creatures. Deer chomped upon grass while fish swum down the rushing rivers. A mother bear led the way to adventure for her two young bear cubs. While birds chirped a happy song high up in the trees.

Going deeper into the large dense growth of trees, there laid a den. And around laid a barrier. More of a scent, yet still a barrier. Inside said barrier wolves lazed around after a great hunt. They were a big pack. More like 10 to 20 members. All were family.

"Paradise? Are you crazy Rain," a wolf laying in a circle with many others yelled ignorantly. The one called Rain glared angrily at the fool who dared to insult her. She sat up before saying, "No, I don't think I'm crazy. But…If you'll like to test me, I'll be happy to oblige you ingrate." The male glared before looking away angrily.

"As I was saying," Rain sighs, "Paradise is the place where the lunar flowers blooms, and where we will finally be at peace."

"But, aren't we at peace now," someone said from her right side, "I mean…This place where we live. We have all the food and water we need with no one to bother us." Everyone silently agrees.

"I understand that Star," Rain states, "But this is nothing compared to Paradise. Everyone is a friend. There is a full moon every night. Clear blue skies and starry nights. Food and water everywhere you turn. No more worrying about who's territory you've stepped in. Just…Peaceful days."

Rain's eyes dazed over with complete joy. Everyone grew silent around her. She was losing it again. The same male from before was the only one to state his thoughts openly though. "You really are crazy," h starts standing up, "Do you really think there is a place like that and do you REALLY think we, as a pack, can get there?"

Everyone stood up hesitantly feeling the tension from the now growling male and the strangely calm Rain. "Geez, you're head really is in the clouds! First, there was that incident with those things and now this! You almost led us to destruction then and now your trying to do the same thing now! To think such nonsense! I hope you're not filling our pups with this bullshit!"

Saying that all in one breath, he panted glaring hard at Rain as she sat on her hind legs impassively watching.

"Are you quite finished," she says standing up slowly, "First, let me clarify something to you…Those pups you were speaking of…Are mine…Not ours…Furtermore, I didn't led you to destrution...You chose to follow while I chose to led. So if you think it was my fault...Then am I sorry...But this is the last time I just sit and let you insult me! Prepare yourself..."

Suddenly her head was lowered with her teeth bared in absolute fury. The male's eyes widened in brief shock before he too growled. Many of the others backed away in fear while some stood their ground ready to jump in if needed.

The tension in the air grew as the two glaring wolves stared each other down. The male took one step and…

"Carlos…" He flinched lowering his ears and his tail between his legs. "M-Marilos…" Everyone gasped and whispered and whimpered in submission. With his ears erect and forward, hackles bristled slightly and tail held vertically and curled back, the alpha walked slowly up to the male, Carlos, with narrowed eyes.

"Carlos…Are you baring your teeth at my mate…Again?" Carlos flinched whimpering trying to look less conspicuous. The tall black wolf walked toward Carlos impassively. With each step he took, Carlos shrunk more and more.

"I-I'm sorry Marilos! She m-made me--" "I've told you once and I'll tell you once again. No one messes with my mate. You are not to talk to her as if she was a low class.. Like yourself. Next time I catch you opposing her, you won't be so lucky…Do I make myself clear?" He stood over the crouched Carlos snarling as Carlos whimpered and nodded quickly.

Rain sat on her hind legs feeling a bit relieved until the alpha sharp glaze shot to her. She tensed laying her ears flat against her head. "And you," he starts with his rough monotone voice, "Carlos tells the truth. You're in the clouds…" Rain glares a bit before whispering, "But Marilos…Paradise is real…"

She averts her eyes as his eyes narrow in disappointed. "Paradise is a legend…A fairy tale…When the end of the world comes…We wolves will lead everyone to Paradise…" He walks slowly away from Rain before saying, "Even if the legend were to come true…We will be long gone when the world comes to a end…"

Rain lowers her head in sadness as he looks at her from the corner of his eyes. "We have food…We have water. And our days are peaceful…" Silence follows before he turns to her saying, "Worry about our cubs for now…That is your job." "But Marilos!" He glares angrily making everyone react visibly. "…You will listen to me," he says dangerously low, "Rather you like it…Or not." "I…Yes…Marilos."

He stands up with satisfaction shining in his eyes. "Everyone spread out. Find something…Better to do with yourselves." All the wolves trotted away quickly so they wouldn't have to answer to the alpha anytime soon. Rain remained seated looking at the ground in deep thought.

She's snapped out of her thoughts feeling a nip at her jaw. She looks up into the beautiful red eyes of the one she calls mate.

"Go tend to our cubs. They need you. You are their mother."

He gives her a lick on the cheek before turning and walking away with that same power buzzing around him. Rain sighs in bliss forgeting her thoughts momentarily. "How I ever got that man, I'll never know…" She gets up walking to the den with stride reaching it in no time. When she goes in, she couldn't help but notice one particular cub running back to her brothers as they slept.

"Breeze? What are you doing up? Didn't I tell you to go to sleep an hour ago," Rain scolds in a playfully matter. The little cub lowered her ears in guilt before saying, "I couldn't sleep…" Rain chuckled licking her child's forehead and sitting down in front of her. "Don't worry about it. You'll just be sleeping a little longer tonight. Just the way I like it." She laughed as Breeze tilted her head in curiosity.

"Momma…What's Paradise?" For a split second sadness shone in Rain's eyes, but they were suddenly unreadable. "Sweetheart…I'll…" She watches Breeze wag her tail in excitement of learning something new, but she knew she couldn't tell her. Marilos would have her head. "Breeze…I'll tell you when you're a little older." Breeze's tail came to an abrupt stop. "Aww…But momma!" "No buts…"

Rain licked at the sad cubs ears and face. "Now…You hungry?"

*~`End Flashback`~*

"Now that I think about it…I have heard of Paradise…Well in a way." Breeze looks at Hige to see him smiling.

"Great…Then…Do you want to come to Paradise with me…?" Breeze watches him from the corner of her eye. "…What?" "W-what I mean is…Kiba…He is going to Paradise…And I'm going with him. You know, the more the merrier…Heh…" Her eyes shows amusement as he stuttered and blushed. She turned her eyes from him looking forward once more. "…Ok…" "Oh well I was just ask--Wait what?! You said Ok?!" A small smile graces her face before saying, "Yeah I'll go…"

Just minutes ago she said she wouldn't get close? So what is she doing? 'Fine alright…I give up…I want to travel around with him and this…Kiba. It's better than being here that's for sure…And…I won't be alone for too long…'

Hige smiles widely making Breeze giggle a bit. "This is great! A girl is coming with us! A pretty one at that! Oh boy!" Breeze's smile grows as he rambles on a bit more about nothing in particular. "When do we leave," she asks cutting him off. He stops pondering on that a bit.

"Uh…Well Kiba and I have to do a few things before we go off you know?" Breeze turns to him crossing her arms. "How long will this take???" He laughs sheepishly. "Um…Not long???" She sighs shaking her head. "Fine whatever. Just…Hurry alright…?" He smiles in surprise and awe before nodding frantically. "Of course! Just…Um…Wait in that alley I was just in until I come get you!"

She nods before saying, "When we leave…You will tell me everything about Paradise got it?" "Roger! Be back in a flash!" Hige then runs off with speed and grace and out of her sight. She stops her waving hand looking at it with wavering eyes. She closed it into a fist with narrowed eyes.

'I'll just travel with them for a little while…Nothing more, nothing less……' She turned walking back to the alley. 'Paradise…I've heard it discussed by my elders before…But I heard it a second time too…I just can't remember when.' Her eyes wavered as she slid down the brick wall until her butt hit the ground. She shook her head slightly. She wasn't going to think too much into it. All she knew, was that this world…This time period…Was smelled of destruction and on the brink finally ending. If her memories served her right, paradise was to be found by wolves…Or led by wolves, which ever came first.

She lazily placed her arms on her knees. Yeah, paradise was right around the corner and she couldn't wait to see it for herself. 'Who knows…maybe my wondering feet will finally settle down…' She sighed placing her hood over her head. 'Peaceful days eh?…Maybe…'

"Alright! Hurry it up! We don't have all day!" A couple of rough necks stood in line getting into the back of a tuck one by one. With those rough necks stood a boy who looked to be about 17 years of age. Eyes as blue and unpredictable as the sea. Dark brown mane of hair to his shoulders. Black jacket with a plain white shirt and blue jeans with black and white sneakers.

He stepped into the police tuck sitting down without a fuss. He needed to get back to the flower maiden…Cheza…

Hige convinced him into tricking the humans in order to leave the station peacefully. He did so with a bit of reluctance, but nonetheless he did it. Before leaving, Hige whined about 'the babe' leaving before he could get her name. He did smell another wolf other than the plumped one and felt a bit curious about her himself. He let it slide from his mind though. He had other matters to attend to.

The young man/wolf looked up from his cuffed wrist to the outside of the truck. He blinked in surprise seeing yellow in his vision. "Hige…"

Hige smiled at him secretly making him smile himself. As Hige hopped into the truck he looked back down at his wrist still smiling warmly. 'We're one step closer to Cheza……Paradise is so close I can smell it…I can't wait…'
