"Chikane you should have gone with your mother and sister. You know you can not be in a battle that involves humans!" My father's voice entered my mind, as everyone else was already heading to their posts.
"I'm not just going to leave…after everything both Tsubasa and that man put us through! I'm staying right here and I'm going to end this!"
I did not even realize that I was growling, but I soon felt my fathers warm muzzle rub against my fur.
"Just be careful….I wouldn't want my future grand child to be harmed." His voice was only in my mind, as I noticed no one else seemed to hear him.
I slowly pulled away and looked surprised.
"What? How can you tell? How do you know that…?" I asked, as I too made sure to block everyone else from the conversation.
"I'm your father Chikane…I happen to know far more then you think. Like I know who the father was, and I know you killed him. I also found out that your mate is also with a pup on the way, and that you killed him as well. Then again both of Tsubasa's sons had it coming for doing such an act…they should know that messing with mates is one of the greatest taboos within wolves." He seemed to be amused by the confusion in my eyes, as he licked my face and rubbed his muzzle into my neck.
"Sorry I should have waited till this was all over, but…I do not know if I'll be able to see you again once this is over. I just wanted to let you know to try and be careful. Wolves can take on a lot of pain and still live, but try not to do anything you don't have to. Besides you have to make it back to your mother, sister…and your mate." He slowly pulled away and gave my face one last lick before turning away.
"Let's move out! Chikane if you bit any humans you must kill them…I'm I clear." His voice was stern, as I snapped out of my shock and returned to what was happening.
"Yes and dad…you better make it out alive too…I want Himeko to get to know you, and I'm sure our pups will want to know how great their grandfather is." I calmly said, as I rubbed my muzzle into his warm bronze fur.
Making remember simpler times back when I was a pup.
Back before all of fighting, killing and pain began.
"I'll try…let's get moving. The quicker we end this the quicker we can all move on with our lives."
He loudly yelled, as everyone lifted their heads and all together let out our final howl, as a whole pack, because we all knew that once the battle started not all of us would be able to howl like this ever again.
We all slowly stopped and everyone ran off into the woods.
I followed Otoha and Daisuke, as my father headed to the front.
I wanted to be at his side, but I already knew that he would not be able to fight to his fullest, if I was at his side.
"Let's end this fast I want to see Azumi and my little girl as soon, as possible. I already miss being at their sides." Daisuke teased, as both Otoha and I knew we would be laughing, is we could.
"My brother is already turning into a sad lost puppy with out his mate." Otoha teased, as Daisuke lightly growled.
"I'm with Daisuke on this one. I just want this to end, so I can go back to Himeko's side."
"Daisuke the world is coming to an end!" She teased.
"No kidding! I never thought I would hear big bad Chikane sound like a love struck pup!" He teased, as I lightly growled and heard them both lightly growl back.
We all soon stopped teasing each other once we smelt the scents of both humans and Tsubasa's wolves, as the final battle was about to begin.
………………………………............................................................
The day was extremely gloomy and dark, since it was spring. It was almost like the gods themselves knew that we all were going into battle. That we all were going to be killing and that death was sure to be in the air, after this day was done. The clouds looked darkened, as I was starting to think it might rain on us. After I felt a few drops of water hit my fur I knew that rain was coming, and that meant smelling the enemies out would be difficult.
"Holt!"
A male voice yelled, as I lowered myself to being only inches away from the ground. We were all hiding inside our woods and the humans all had stopped in a small opening that many of us would play in when we were pups. Himeko's father was in the front, as he was looking out into the woods.
I felt anger and rage come over me, as I was trying to keep it under control until it was time to attack.
"What is it sire?" His men asked, as they all were looking around.
Their horses all started to act up, as they were trying to keep them from running off.
"They are here…those beast are watching us. At lest Satoru's pack is watching us, as for Tsubasa's his pack is charging in full force. He is hoping he can kill two birds with one stone." He coldly said, as we all could hear and smell Tsubasa's wolves coming from the other side of the opening.
"What do we do now sire?"
"That's a stupid question! Everyone get ready for battle!" He ordered, as his men all drew their swords.
A lot of them got off their horses letting them run into the woods, as they waited for orders or for us to attack. I felt myself start growling, as I narrowed my eyes at that man. That man who never disserved to be anywhere near my Himeko, but was lucky enough to share her blood. The man that put my Himeko through hell and always made her fell useless and weak. I wanted so much to charge at him and rip out his throat, but my father had yet to give us the order to move, and the last thing we needed was for me to mess everything up.
A loud howl was heard, as we all knew that Tsubasa was not far.
It did not take long for the rain to start pouring down on all of us, as Tsubasa's wolves jumped from the woods and start attacking the humans, and once that happened we all heard my father's howl, and so the battle began.
I ran out of my hiding spot and bit into the neck of a solder, as I ripped out his throat I quickly went for the next target. I dug my fangs into the shoulder of a brown wolf, as I threw them to the ground and was able to dig my fangs into its throat and rip it out all before the poor wolf even knew what was happening.
I soon saw a human trying to stab me with his sword, as I quickly moved out of the way of his attack, and jumped on him. Making him fall to the ground and be for he could even react I dug my fangs into his throat ripping it out.
I could hear whimpers of pain from wolves on both sides, but the humans screams of pain felt like they were ripping off my ears.
I kept moving through the battle killing any wolf or human that got in front of me.
………………………………............................................................
I was ripping out the throat of yet another human, as I saw Himeko's father was off of his horse and was fighting my father. I ran forward and hoped that I could get to my father in time. I could see he was injured and he was not moving with ease like he normally would while in a fight.
I was almost to him when I was tackled by a light brown wolf. The wolf was trying to dig his fangs into my throat, as I went and dodged his attacks, and then dug my fangs into the side of his thick neck. He growled, as he pulled away and was trying to get free, but I dug deeper until I could taste blood in my mouth. I quickly released him and before he had time to move I dug my fangs right into his throat and ripped it out.
His limped dead body landed over me, as I managed to get out from under his heavy lifeless body.
Once I was out I heard a man yell and looked to see my father had Himeko's father on the ground. He went and dug his fangs into that mans neck and ended it all. I slowly walked over to him when I saw that he wasn't moving. He had just killed the man in charge of the humans and ended part of the fight, and yet he wasn't moving to find Tsubasa and end the other.
"Dad?" I calmly said, as I was at his side now.
"Chikane…get away!" His voice was soaked with pain, as his eyes shot opened.
He started growling loudly as he looked over at me. I slowly backed away, as I saw that his normal golden eyes filled with wisdom and warmth were now filled with a thirst for blood. Much like Tsubasa's eyes or the eyes of a crazed wolf, as his growling grow louder I felt my body tense and I began to growl back at him.
He soon backed away and ran off into the woods leaving the battle behind him.
'What's going on?' I thought, as I looked at Himeko's father's lifeless body.
I started to smell around it and backed away when I smelled something terrible, as I soon remembered Himeko showing me a plant that smelt that bad.
'Himeko said that plant was a poison…that who ever were crazy enough to even touch it let alone eat it would go mad. They would go crazy and lose themselves completely until they eventually die from the poison. She said her father started using it after I bit him that way, if another wolf ever bit him again they would pay for it.' I thought, as I ran after my father.
I needed to find him and help him some how.
I already knew the battle was almost done I could see that we had won this, and so I needed to make sure my father would be alright.
'Dad!' I thought, as I picked up my speed and was starting to track him by his scent.
………………………………............................................................
Meanwhile in the caves.
"Mom? Are you alright?"
Azumi asked, as both Himeko and she noticed that the older she-wolf looked to be in pain.
All the pups were fast asleep, as they both were at Mayumi's side.
"Some things wrong…with Satoru. Some thing is wrong…he is in so much pain. I have to go to him…you two stay here."
Mayumi calmly said, as she headed from the entrance of the cave.
"I'm going with you."
They both looked, as Himeko went to the older she-wolves side.
"I can feel that some thing is wrong with Chikane…I might not be any help, but… I want to be by her side, if she is in pain."
Himeko's voice sounded shy, as they both looked like they would be laughing, if they were all humans.
Mayumi went and rubbed her muzzle into Himeko's golden fur.
"Very well…let's hurry."
She calmly said, as Azumi went and rubbed her muzzle into both her mother's mid-night black fur and Himeko's golden fur.
"Both of you be careful." Azumi calmly said, as both Himeko and Mayumi left the cave and started running to find their mates.
