~Chapter 4~

We had left the city about an hour ago and where tracking through the woods. Cheza was riding on my back, petting my soft fur. The forest was calm, the only sound was the vioces of nature. It felt so nice, like being part of a real pack. The the joy was shattered by a certain stupid moron.

"Kana!" Kisu's voice shattered the calm, sending a flock of birds flying from a near by bush. I flattened my ears to my head and growled.

"What Kisu?" I huffed, glaring at the ground infornt of me. Cheza shifted slightly on my back, feeling my uneasiness. Kisu trotted up next to me, his tongue lolling out to the side with that stupid grin on his face.

"Hi," I slowed down a little more and moved to the other side of him, and went to walk on the other side of Toboe and Yuru, who where talking about something or other. Cheza reached out and ran her hand along Yuru's back. She yipped happily and nudged into me. Kisu came up next to Toboe. I felt my annoyance tolerance lower drastically. Cheza noticed this and got off my back with a quiet whisper.

"Please don't get to rough," and she ran to walk next to Kiba and Tsume.

"Kana will you play with us?" Yuru asked, leaning against me. I glanced at her, then at Toboe. He gave me the cutest look I had ever seen. His ears perked up, head tilted, eyes wide. The puppy look. I sighed.

"What were you playing?" I asked. Yuru grinned and ran ahead of us.

"LETS PLAY TAG!" Her tail was wagging fast as she continued to run from us, passing Kiba and Tsume. Toboe ran after her smiling.

"Hey! Dont go to far!" Hige shouted from behind us. He and Blue had taken up the back with Kamu. Toboe replied with a loud bark and tore off aster Yuru. I grinned and went after them, Kisu at my flank. As I passed Kiba and Tsume I heard a soft angered growl emitt from one of them. I ran faster laughing out loud.

When I caught up to Toboe and Yuru I tackled them to the ground, tumbling down a small hill. We all laughed as we tumbled over each other, until we hit the bottom of the incline. Of course everyone landed on top of me. I shugged them off as I stood up, Kisu, Toboe and Yuru fell around me. I looked around our surroundings. We were in a open field, covered in beautiful red flowers. Nothing I had ever seen before. The sun was shinning at just the righ angle, alightening the petles making the flowers seen to be flaming. I left the other three and walked into the center of the meadow. I heard Yuru sneeze from behind me.

I felt my gut twist the closer I got to the center. Something wasn't right here. My body felt rigid, tenced and ready for anything. I heard the rest of the oack join Kisu and the other two. As I got to the center of the meadow I heard Yuru scream really loudly.

"INSIDE BURP!" I heard Toboe start laughing and turned around. I went to move back to them when a vine coiled around my leg pulling me down. The thorns pricked at my skin, cutting into my flash drawing blood. I tried moving forward, but the vine gripped my leg harder, causing me to whimper slightly in pain. I heard a cry, it was low and metalic; Cheza.

"Holy shit! What is that thing!" I heard Kisu scream. My leg was pulled out from under me. I collapsed and glanced behind me. A red flower, about 5 stories high stood their, vines whipping around. The one coiled around my leg started to pull me to it. I began struggling with the vine, trying to get free.

"Kana!" I spared a glance a Yuru, who looked about ready to piss herself. I faught harder. No way was I going to die in front of a kid, not when I had to get them to Paradise. I the vine stopped pulling at my leg and I turned to see why.

Tsume was chewing at the one wrapt around my leg, as another slapped at him, the small cuts bleeding a thin line. The vine loosened its grip on me and I kicked it off, and jumped up. Tsume released the vine and we ran back to the group. As we got back to the group I noticed that Kisu wasn't with the otehrs, and that the vines could still reach us. I shoved Yuru and the others back to the forest. Kiba and Kamu got the idea and started pulling on Cheza, who was staring in shock at the flower thing.

"Damnit!" I sighed. Yeah Kisu had gotten caught by the flower. I made sure that the other all left the clearing before taking my chances with the mutant flower. The only problem was Tsume, who stayed behind with me. I glanced at him as I got my body ready to srint,

"Protect your self," I growled and launched myself forward heading for the red plant. I dodged vines, one after another, making sure they didn't get around my throat. I slid and found an opening. I leaped up and clawed onto the side of the flower. It gave the most unusual sound, a mix between a wounded puppy and a hawk. I tore at the side of the creature, ripping at its petals and right next to me I felt Tsume do the same.

I was ripped away from the heart of the flower and smashed into the ground. Pain flared in my side as I staggered to my feet. It hurt like hell. Tsume was still where he had been, vines wrapt around him. I felt an unknown anger well upp inside me and I let out a peircing growl. I ran forward, dodging the vines and grabbed onto the main body. Again the flower shreiked, and I heard a thud on the ground behind me. I let go of the flower and ran down it, heading for the ground.

Just as i was about to leap off the main body, a vine whipped out and smacked into me, sending me flying into the air. I landed with a huff and collapsed. I was exshasted. I was able to see Tsume carrying Kisu over his shoulders with hus human mask. The flower had pulled its vines together and went into what looked like a cacoon. Tsume came up to my side. I pulled my mask on and staggered back to my feet and we headed out of the clearing.

The others had left us in the dust, and I was too tired to keep moving. After a good 15 minutes I gave up and fell to the ground welcoming the dark abiss.
