I Knocked At Paradise Door
Chapter Three: Tsume's Growl and the Flower….THE BREAKUP!
We were finally out the city. I sat down panting heavy, my pink tongue hanging out the side of my mouth. Hige handed out the bread and we ate quickly. I rolled in the dirt still panting heavy. Kiba was looking at all of us. "We have to travel through the snow to get to the next city. Polar, are you up for it?" Kiba barked lightly, walking past me. I looked at him as I sat back up, "I'm always ready when you are. You just need to make sure Tsume keeps up, you know what they say about old dogs." Tsume growled and jumped up in my face. I had a smug smirk on my face. "Watch yourself! You fat bitch!" Tsume growled out. I glared at him when he called me fat. I stood and started to growl, "Who you calling fat! You old dog, I'm afraid if the wind blows, you'll turn to dust!" I felt my body shake in anger. I heard Hige laughter reaching my ears and I shot a glare at him. Toboe, only snickered, "You guys always argue back and forth. It's truly sad." I looked at Toboe and rolled my eyes. "Polar, you walk behind me. Hige and Toboe walk behind Polar and Tsume walk behind them. I bet not hear no bickering between the two of you." Kiba barked sternly at all of us as he begins to walk. I growled one last time before following Kiba.
We were in the middle of nowhere. I could not see anything in the distance, and the snow was falling heavily. I growled quickly and shook my head quickly. I smelt something very file. It made my nostril hairs burn. "Cheza!" I heard Kiba bark happily as he begin to run ahead of us. I just stood there, what he was talking about… Whom Cheza and what is this foul smell? Hige and Toboe ran past me to follow Kiba. I still stood stunned. I felt something warm brush against my fur. It shook me out of my thoughts. "That smell is the flower…Cheza…Kiba's got a special connection with that girl. She is not human-""She stinks." I growled out strongly. Tsume winced back in shock and he studied my face. I started to walk and he began to walk beside me. "I don't care how Kiba feels to her and I don't give a hell about her name. She is burning my nostrils hair." I growled out walking toward the snitch. Tsume chuckled, "I never met a wolf who hates the smell of a flower. What kind of wolf are you?" "I don't hate the smell of a flower….I hate the smell of a creature that wasn't brought into this earth by nature but created." I growled aggressively. I stopped and sat down. Tsume kept walking before turning to look at me. "Why aren't you going to keep walking?" "The stench is too strong. I can only go this far, Tsume." I barked at him, out of anger. Tsume growled, "Well stay here then and become a frozen statue! I don't care no more about you, bitch!" I stood and got into Tsume's face, "YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FUCKING HORRIBLE SHE SMELLS! TO YOU SHE SMELL LIKE FLOWERS AND SOME SHIT! NEVERTHELESS, TO ME, SHE SMELLS LIKE SHIT, DEAD THINGS, ETC! TSUME YOU GOT ONE-"
Tsume cut me off by pressing his nose against mines. I backed up in shock. Tsume growled at me low and pounced on top of me. I tried to shove him off but his weight got heavier as he put it down. I landed on my side. He shoved me on my back and begins to lick and nip around my neck roughly. I felt my stomach become hot. No, I wasn't ready for this. I growled but soon my growl became a whimper when Tsume bit my neck hard enough to hush me up. I whimpered and nipped at his ear. Tsume growled again before pulling away and pressing his nose against mines. I felt stomach get warm again. I didn't see Tsume like that, I wasn't in the mood to mate or have a companion. I was about to bite at his neck when he nipped my ear. "Stop fighting it, you are in this pack Polar. Kiba believes that Cheza will guide us to paradise." Tsume growled out lowly, almost like a purr.
I looked into his golden eyes, "I don't care Tsume. I been to paradise and now I am out. I don't need her help to find something that I was already in." "Then why won't you tell us how to get there if you been there once before…. Polar…." Tsume barked out lightly. I pressed my snout to the side of his snout. Then I whispered something into his ears that no one was to hear. Tsume eyes got wide and pulled off me slowly, when we heard Toboe's barks in the distance. I stood and shook the snow off me. Tsume looked at me with this look of amazement, yet with a look of annoyance. I could only giggle at the confused look he was giving me. I jumped back quickly when I felt a slap of stench hit my nostrils. I looked up to see Kiba, Hige, and Toboe. My eyes traveled to the girl beside Kiba. They were holding hands and she looked at me with amazement. She reached out to me, "She's pretty." I heard her whisper… Therefore, this must be Cheza, her voice sound like nails on a chalkboard to me. I growled and was about to bite her hand. When Kiba stood in front of me growling, "Don't you dare bite Cheza! Or you will be asking for trouble!" I felt a sting of emotion surge through my body but I still stood my ground. "Well, tell your precious flower to not touch me! I ain't some damn dog you pat!" I growled back getting in Kiba's face. Why is he acting like this? Why is he being so over protective? I saw Cheza touch Kiba's backside, "Kiba, don't…I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend her." Kiba turned his head and shifted to his human form. "Cheza, Polar is disrespectful when it comes to meeting new people. She-" I shifted to my human form but stilled let out a deadly growl. "I dare you say I need anything from this piece of dead meat! She reeks, get her away from me, NOW!" I barked at Kiba.
I felt Toboe touch my shoulder, "Polar, Cheza will help us-" "I know, Tsume told me! I don't need her help to a place I already went to!" I said sternly at Toboe. I didn't want to yell at him because it wasn't his fault I was upset. I looked at Hige who was frowning at me. Why did it seem like I was in the wrong here? I felt like I was doing the right thing. I didn't want to go against my own instincts. "Guys, we shouldn't be fighting…. We can all get along." Toboe said softly. Cheza smiled at Toboe, "Toboe's right… We all can get along. Polar, I'm sorry for whatever I did to offend you but I wish to be friends in the future." I glared at her, "You can't change how I feel towards because my instinct is telling me to hate you and I do. Me, myself, and I already don't like you. I don't you around me….Kiba, either she goes or I do…." I looked at Kiba who was holding her hand. I heard Toboe and Hige gasp. Hige took a step forward, "You can't go, Polar! You just got into this pack!" "I agree with Hige, you can't go! I don't want to decide between you two." Toboe light voice broke through. I looked at both of them and then I looked over my shoulder at Tsume who had his hands in his pocket. "I already know who I'm staying with and that's Kiba." I nodded my head in understanding to him.
I took a step back when I felt Toboe body lightly tackle-hug mines. I wrapped my arms around him. He buried his face into my chest as he shed tears. I patted his head lightly. "Toboe, you don't have to choose between Kiba and me….I'm making you stay…You hear me." Toboe nodded his head in between sobs. I kissed the top of his head.
Hold up... hold on... don't be scared,
You'll never change what's been and gone.
May your smile... Shine on...
Don't be scared,
Your destiny may keep you warm.
I held Toboe tighter as his cries became even heavier. I looked up Hige sadly and saw that he too was getting teary eyed from the scene.
Cause all of the stars have faded away,
Just try not to worry,
You'll see them some day.
Take what you need,
And be on your way,
And stop crying your heart out.
Get up... (Get Up) Come on...
(Come On) why you scared? (I'm not scared)
You'll never change what's been and gone.
My teal eyes traveled over to Kiba. I looked into his crystal blue ones only to feel myself whimper lightly. I closed my eyes and held Toboe tighter, rocking side to side. I looked into his eyes again to see…..pain, hurt, betrayal, and …...care…...
Cause all of the stars have faded away,
Just try not to worry,
You'll see them some day.
Take what you need,
And be on your way,
And stop crying your heart out.
Cause all of the stars have faded away,
Just try not to worry,
You'll see them some day.
Just take what you need,
And be on your way,
And stop crying your heart out.
I reached my hand out to Kiba and I saw his other hand flinch lightly. He wanted to reach out to me. I know he wanted to grab my hand but….Cheza…..I turned my head lightly to see Tsume eyes on me and for once they were soft….like earlier…I felt Toboe grip tighten on my dress as he pulled me closer. I could feel my jacket and dress becoming damp from his tears.
When all of the stars were faded away,
Just try not to worry,
You'll see us some day.
Just take what you need,
And be on your way,
And stop crying your heart out.
Stop crying your heart out. [x3]
I pulled away from Toboe with a bit of effort. He was holding on me tight. I lifted his head up with my finger and wiped his tears away. "Toboe…" I kissed the top of his forehead. I backed away and turned back to wolf form. I turned to my left and started to run. I had a feeling that's where I need to go. I felt my muscles contract as I ran.
I could feel the fresh air enter my nostrils and it felt amazing. I hope I do see them some day…Toboe…..Hige…..Tsume….Kiba…Kiba what were you feeling when I reached out to you. Did you wanted to grab me and hold me until I stop singing? I never did get the chance to thank him for earlier, when I sung. I felt my heart feel like a rock…. That's when I let rip, and howled. I howled as I ran. I started to grin to myself when I heard Toboe, and Hige howl back. I wasn't surprised when I didn't hear Kiba and Tsume.
I felt my heart feel high when I heard Kiba's howl. Therefore, he did feel a way that was loving and caring towards me. I howled once again. This time Tsume joined in the others howling and I knew I was going to see them again. My journey didn't end here… Hahaha no way!
TBC…
[STOP CRYING YOUR HEART OUT- LEONA LEWIS….YOU'LL NEVER WHO SHE'LL END UP WITH MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!]
