A/N: Oo, 1 review got me hooked for typing the next chapter. Feel no need to hunt me down! Thank you, JenovaWolfen, for reviewing my soon-to-be longer story! Every time there is a line after someone has been thinking or speaking, it means it is changing the point of view. For example, the longer part on the prologue was Kiba, and the really small part was Toboe. And please tell me if Blue is OOC, because I don't know much about her, or her character.
Disclaimer: I still don't own it, just in case you were wondering.
Curiosity for me brought me to my feet. What happened? The last thing I remember was we were going to paradise and… the next fact brought me to my knees. I died! But… how am I here? And the others! But… what happened? I stood up, shaking from my weight. As I looked over my body there were many things to notice. Many white strips to cover my wounds were tightened around my body, waist and arms. My hand was in a hard cover that hurt whenever I tried to move it.
Looking back over, I noticed it wasn't just Kiba. There next to Kiba was Hige and Blue, and next to my bed was Tsume. I'm feeling a bit dizzy. This is a lot to take in. If anything, all's I wanted to do was lay down and go to sleep. But in a way, I really didn't want to. The things going on now were more important that sleep.
"Um, hello there. I suppose you're awake now." A girl with dirty blonde hair walked in the room and looked at me. "You've been asleep for a long time. The same goes for your friends." She smiled her face bright and happy.
"But I…? Wha-" I collapsed to the ground, unprepared and fainted.
"Grandma!" I bounded up to her, my tail wagging.
"Hello my Toboe. How are you?" She spoke with a quiet voice, stringing my messy hair.
"I'm great, grandma. But where are we? This place looks like-"
"Yes, we're in paradise." She smiled; glad to see I was happy.
"I can't wait to tell Tsume and the others! Where are they?" I looked around, confused.
My grandma looked down. "Oh my Toboe, I'm so sorry."
"About what? Nothing could be better! Well, after I tell the others." I turned to leave on my thinking-small search. Before I could run off, her hand grasped my shoulder. I turned my head. "What?"
"They won't be here, Toboe."
My happy face suddenly turned to horror. "W-w-what!" Tears were starting to well up in my eyes, sad and unforgiving. "But… they have to be here!"
"I'm so sorry. You are here because you are dead. Toboe, I-"
I hung my head in distress. "You know what, never mind. It's ok, I'm-" Not able to contain it any longer, I burst into tears. "But Grandma, I know they're alive. It can't be! Please, oh no…"
"Toboe… Toboe… Toboe wake up!" Tsume's gruff voice sounded in my ears.
They were all crowded around my bed; their heads leaned in, watching Tsume shake me awake. Kiba looked as if he was getting bored of watching his, Hige looked as if he were hungry (I could hear his stomach growling), and Blue just watched Tsume as he looked completely annoyed.
"Wha-what? Tsume is that you? And you to Kiba? And Hige, Blue, you guys t-"
"We've been trying to wake you up for hours, Toboe." Hige leaned back is head, seeming hungrier by the minute. "And you chose now to wake up? What a waste, it's not like we're getting anything out of this." His head was thrown forward by Blue as she slapped him on the back of the head.
"One of your friends could have died and all you care about is food! Wow Hige, never thought you'd be so selfish." Blue crossed her arms in annoyance.
"Will you to shut the hell up? At least he's awake, maybe he knows something." Tsume shot back at Hige as if he confessed to a crime and glared.
"Me? Know something? You've got to be kidding me. I was only awake once before this." I rolled my eyes as Blue and Hige continued to argue, him saying "Food!" and her saying "Friend!"
"Just shut up you two! Let him talk!" Now everyone was silent, including Hige, until his growling stomach broke the silence.
"Hey, Tsume, calm down please. It's not their fault, really."
"If you guys are all done arguing then can we go and look around? I want to see where we are." Everyone turned to look at Kiba's calm face.
"Follow me," I whispered as I snuck around the drawer. I was leading them to where I think I had heard a noise. Hige said he smelt it to, but I was pretty sure that was chicken.
"Hey guys look, chicken!" Hige rushed forward as if it were the most important thing in the world and knocked down a girl who had it on a rack to let it cool. He shoved three in his mouth, bones and all, chewing fast and quick, not caring if he were looking weird. I walked up to him, pulling him away from the chicken and pastries and… "What's up with you, Kiba! I was just enjoying-"
"Shh, you're scaring the girl. I mean, look at her!" I spoke in a hushed tone, not wanting to scare the girl again. "She's on the ground, cowering and terrified; if that doesn't look like she's scared to you, than you must be crazy. Though I think you already were." I grit my teeth as Hige pulled away from my grip.
"Hey, calm down dude, I just wanted something to eat if you haven't noticed…. I'm starving!"
"Well you've eating three pieces of chicken (bones and all) which were probably for her! You're the one who needs to chill."
"Excuse me, but who are you two?" She put her hands on her hips, clearly annoyed.
A/N: Dun dun dun! And the cliffhanger awaits!
