Kana: Whatever...
Yuru: aishachase97 doesn't own Wolf's Rain, just her oc's and the plot turns.
Chapter 2
Cheza gripped my hand as I lead the group through town. Another wolf female wolf joined us as we got past the gate, but I didn't think to much about it, she was most likly with the other pack anyways. Cheza didn't say a word as we wove around people, but she stayed close to me, clinging to my hand or my arm. As we walked, the lights from the festival and light posts made it easier to see the Maiden. She was taller than me, but then again every one is taller than me, not that I like it... She also had a gentel touch, and slight smile on her face. Her red eyes took in the different things this city had, and once in a while she would look back at the other wolves, as if telling them that everything was ok here.
The farther east we went the less noise there was. I could feel the other wolves relax slightly, leaving all the humans behind us. The moon, only a slight sliver of it, was almost an orange color, and it became our only light. I stopped infront of the apartment building. I glanced at Cheza and let go of her hand.
"I'll meet ya up there," I turned and lunged up the wall, landing gracfully on the balls of my feet. Yuru and Kamu came up not long after, fallowed by the other pack. I began pulling apart wooden cratesand tossed them into a pile.
"Lets get some introductions out of the way, shall we?" Kamu said leaning against a railing not to far from where I was creating fire. Yuru watched me, facinated at my work. No matter how manytimes I light stuff on fire she was always amused. No one spoke as I lit the wooden crates on fire. The youngest boy in the group started.
"I'm Toboe!" I glanced at him. His mask was about the same age as Yuru, maybe 14 years old. He had dark brown hair and light brown colored eyes. He wore a red shirt with breast pockets and greenish brown pants and black boots. On one of his wrists he had silver ringed bracelets. Yuru grinned at him and waved, he waved back slightly, a shy smile on his face.
"I'm Hige," I turned my attention to a boy, who was sitting next to a blue/ black haired women. He had Light brown hair and matching eyes. He wore a short sleeved yellowish hoody and a black long sleeve under it, with light blue sweat pants. I laughed as I looked at his neck.
"Look who wears a coller!" I said pointing at the band around his neck. The girl next to Hige giggled as he pouted. A few others smiled slightly at my joke but none of them laughed out loud. Cheza walked over and sat next to me by the fire, watching it intensely.
"I'm Blue," The girl next to Hige said with a soft smile. She had on a black skirt and jecket top and a red scarf. She had deep blue eyes and blackish blue short hair, that spiked out slightly. She was really pretty. I glanced at the last two male wolves. The one who tried to protect Cheza sighed.
"I'm Kiba," I glanced at him. He wore a dark colored jacket and jeans. He had green eyes, and longish dark dark brown hair, almost black. He had sharp, yet sharp features. He was obcviously the pack leader. He seemed wiser than me too... I felt a pang of slightly jealously. He could be a way better leader than I ever was or could be. I shighed running my finers through my auburn hair.
"Hey Tsume it's your turn," Toboe whispered to a silver haired boy who was leaning against the railing. He sighed before addressing us.
"The names Tsume," He said, looking us all in the eyes. His silver hair was shorter than the rest of them, and as he turned his head I could sea a tiny little rat tail of hair. I could see Kamu having problems with that. He had sharp golden eyes, and a torn leather getup. He kept his hands fisted, and resting on his hips. On his chest was a ragged "X" shaped scar. He has a a studded earring on his right ear and two hoopes on the left. He was handsome. Not that I would admit that out loud. I groaned knowing the only one in my pack that was wanting to talk was Yuru. I nodded at her, and she jumped up pointing at herself.
"I'm Yuru! And this is Kamu and Kana! Kana is our leader and she's super awesome! Kamu helped us all get together!" I broke out laughing at her eagerness. I rolled around, carefull of the fire and of Cheza. She smiled slightly at me. I stopped rolling around and laughing, pulling on a calmer mask.
"Uh, yeah, I'm Kana," I said, pulling Cheza's hand away from the fire.
"Cheza don't touch that, it's hot," Kiba said from the other side of her. She nodded and moved back a little.
"I'm Kamu, I'm the one who told these two what Paradise is, and why we need Cheza," Kamu explained from a crate a few feet away.
"I still don't see why we fallowed you here," Tsume grunted crossing his arms over his chest. Cheza looked up at him.
"We are here because This One needs the Wolf of Song," I grinned. I didn't know what the Wolf of Song was but it sounded awesome.
"Whats the Wolf of Song?" Kiba asked, looking at me.
"She is the one who will open the gate to Paradise with her song," Toboe leaned forward.
"Really? Thats cool!" Yuru cheered hugging me from behind. Kuma came and sat closer to the flames as Hige broke apart another crate, tossing more wood onto it.
"I've heard of the Wolf of Song, legend said that Paradise appears for the Flower Maiden, but needs a song to open it's gates. The question is, does Kana know it?" Ever one looked at me. I puffed out my chest.
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't," Kamu sighed.
"In other words you don't," I gave her a thumbs up.
"Exactaly," She shook her head and looked a Kiba.
"Cheza travels with you, could we conbine our packs?" Kiba looked aat Cheza, then at me.
"Seems like you need too, where heading to Paradise and we need Kana to sing too open the gates," She nodded, leaning back and grabbed her book, continuing to read her book. Yuru suddenly tackeled me.
"Kana! Can you take Toboe and I to the festival! I wanna see all the pretty lights!" I pushed her off of me before looking at Toboe.
"Wanna go kid?" I asked, acting all cool and level headed. He grinned and hopped up. Tsume pushed himself off the railing and gazed at me.
"I'll go too, just in case the kids get into truble," I nodded at him. I spun around and got in Kiba's face.
"While I'm gone you had better watch after Cheza, and the rest of them. Apparently we're a full pack now, and if anything happens to them," I pulled back and headed for the edge of the building where Tsume, Yuru and Toboe waited for me. I got ready to lunge off the side, but looked back at Kiba, making sure to be dramatic.
"I'll kick your ass," and I jumped. Tsume landed beside me and we looked up at the two kids.
"Jump alread!" I shouted. Toboe flinched slightly.
"I WAS GETTING READY TOO!" The next thing I knew, Toboe was laying on the ground with Yuru on his back. Tsume just grunted and looked at me. I began walking away from the struggling kids and headed for the festival once again.
~1 hour later~
" I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LET THEM GET AWAY! "
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT, JERK!"
"WELL IT WASN'T MINE!" I sighed and leaned against the near by vender trying to sell hot dogs.
"Well yelling wont help us find them," I said twirling my hair in between my fingers. Tsume face palmed.
"Yuru nows what to do anyways if she gets into any trouble, I think they'll be fine," He just looked at me with cold eyes. I grinned.
"Ya hungry?" I asked. He looked at me right befoer his stomache growled. I grinned at him and moved around the vender, heading off down the row, Tsume fallowing close behind. I stopped infront of a vender with a huge pig shapes hat.
"Four of your pulled pork sandwitches, please," I said to the worker. He grumbled before creating the four sandwitches. It only took a few minutes but soon we were biting into the food thats tasted almost as good as a young buck. Tsume didn't talk but that was ok, I never talked when eating. Food was much more important. I finished shortly after he did and leaned back in the chair I barrowed.
"What do we do now?" I asked him. He folded his hands behind his head.
"I don't care, I'm fallowing you, but we should-" "FERRIS WHEEL!" I jumped up, grabbing his arm and pulled in the direction of the large wheel. There was a small waiting line when we arrived and I was bubbling. It had been years sense I had even seen a ferris wheel. I wasn't passing up the chance to get a ride.
" What the hell is your problem! Do you have multiple personalities, or something?" I looked at him. With a smile.
"No, I'm normally kick-ass, but when ya live with a kid for almost a year, ya get soft. That and I really REALLY like ferris wheels," He scoffed at me.
"Getting soft because of a kid, what kind of wolves are we?" I smiled at him.
"Didn't know you where getting soft because of a kid," He glared at me.
"Shut your mouth," I smiled. We stepped forward onto the ferris wheel seat. It was a closed capsule. When the door shut before lifting us up to let the next pair on, we where closed in together. He sat on one side of the capsule, and I on the other. I looked out at the city as we went higher and higher into the air. Once we got to the top I felt a pair of eyes on me. I glanced at Tsume. He was watching me carefully. I growled slightly.
"You must really like what you see if ya keep looking," He glared at me.
"Stop saying stupid stuff like that," He snapped. The hair on my arms stood on end in slight anger.
"I will when ya stop looking!" I shouted back at him.
"Bite me," I growled and lunged for him, bitting into his arm. He grit his teeth, neither of us changing into wolf form. I sat on his lap, still gripping his arm in my teeth. I ran my tongue along the leather before releasing his arm.
"I didn't actually think you would bite me," He grunted. I stayed on his lap looking at him innocently.
"I only did what I was told," He rolled his eyes and went to push me off of him. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him with me, both of us landing on the floor of the capsule. He was ontop of me, in a sugestive way. I flipped us over quickly so I was on top.
"I think I like this position much more," I watched as his face flushed a deep red, before shoving me off him.
"Leave me alone girl," He barked. I laughed and curled up on my own side of the capsule. I could feel his eyes on me as I watched the world go around. The lights where bright and utterly beautiful, and even though we where 30 feet in the air, I could faintly smell different flowers. I felt myself relax when I picked out the slight sent of Lunar Flowers. I leaned back and turned back to Tsume.
"Do you have a favorite flower, Mr. Softy?" I asked. He leaned back and looked at me with a " What-do- you- think?" look. I grinned.
"Well surprisingly my favorite flower is a Lunar Flower," I said truthfully. He seemed slightly shocked at this.
"Well then, what is it?" He asked. I thought of a smart-assed remark, but held my tongue.
"Purple irises," I said looking out of the window. Our ride was ending soon and felt slightly upset at that. Tsume didn't say a thing as we got off the ferris wheel and started looking for Yuru and Toboe. It didn't take long to find them, sharing a thing of cotton candy with huge smiles on their faces. I felt another pang of jealousy. They would make a cute couple, and I would always be alone.
