Okay since the wolves were only in this episode like once I decided to have a little fun and make up what happened on their way to Darcia's Keep.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Chap13. Men's Lament

We were in a forest of some kind I had no clue where but I knew we must have been going higher up the mountain since the air kept becoming more crisp.

"Are we almost there?" I panted.

"You would know if we were." Tsume snapped.

"No I wouldn't." I replied. Eventually we came out of the forest and on to a snowy mountaintop.

"It's so cold!" Hige and me whined.

"I had have enough of you to!" Tsume growled. He barred his teeth at us now in wolf form I jumped in front of Hige and barred my teeth back at him.

"You do NOT want to mess with me." I growled. Toboe stepped in between us.

"Guys you're just mad cause you're cold." He tried to calm us. "That's all." I panted before answering.

"Yea." I said. "I'm sorry Tsume." Tsume just made a humph sound then turned around and started to walk away I growled but then followed the others.

"I just hope you know they dont always act like this." Hige said to Blue, I rolled my eyes. We SO act like this all the time. I shivered dang it was cold out. I then trotted up to Kiba.

"Are we going to stop and rest?" I asked "Its to cold out even for wolves."

"Sure as soon as we find something." Kiba replied. I sniffed the air, there was a scent but it was hard to make out.

"Kiba." I whispered. "We're being followed." Everyone stopped and started sniffing the air.

"Kiba?" Toboe asked.

"I dont know." Kiba replied. "The wind keeps shifting. But I know they are wolves." I whined softly, Kiba looked at me surprised.

"I feel like its danger." I said softly so only he could here. I felt as though I could be myself around him, if I showed any fear towards Hige he would laugh and Tsume would be all like she's not tough. I looked in front of us and seen a figure of a wolf run in the distance across our path. I growled and stepped closer to Kiba. What made these wolves so different? I just got a very bad vibe. When every one else seen the figure they grew closer together just in case of an attack.

"We can take them!" Hige cheered.

"Actually that's what I just said." A voice coming from in front of us said. We changed into our human forms as a pack bigger then ours came out of the snowstorm in their human forms. I didn't like the looks of them.

"Sorry." Kiba said. "We where just passing." The alpha male walked up in front of the other pack.

"Its okay." He said. "We'll let you pass on one condition." Kiba growled.

"What is this condition?" He asked angrily probable knowing that it was going to be some trick of some sort.

"Hand over you're pack's females and no one gets hurt." Blue and I jumped and so did every one else even Tsume.

"You just expect us to give you the females of our pack?!" Tsume growled out.

"Forget it!" Kiba snarled grabbing my wrist and pulling me behind him.

"Yea!" I snarled. "I'm with them forever!"

"Is that so?" I the alpha male smirked.

"Yea...." I said softly. "We may fight but truth is we're stuck together till the end! Or until we reach paradise, whatever comes first! But even when we reach it we still stick together!" Hige put his hand on my shoulder.

"Oh tin-man." He said. "You do have a heart."

"What the heck are you talking about?" I smirked slapping of his hand off playfully.

"Not that, that wasn't touching." The alpha male said. "But... TAKE THEM!!!" The other wolves ran forward in wolf form now, we changed to wolf form to. The wolves started to surround us Blue and I started to back up followed by Hige. But what we didn't notice was that we were on a hill. I was the first to roll down.

"Oh, Shoot, some, one, help, me." I got out every time I hit the ground. Blue soon fell to, just as the males had planned but what they didn't plan was that Hige fell with us. Once I got down to the bottom I jumped up.

"Hige!" I said panicked.

"Yea." He replied. I looked up there was a few of the males running after us.

"Let's get out of here!" I said starting to run. "We'll have to catch up with the others."

"Do things go after you guys every day?" Blue asked.

"Well… Yea sort of." Hige said.

"Well it should be interesting to be traveling with you then." Blue said. I looked behind us and was relived to see that no one was chasing us. I slowed down until I stopped.

"We lost them." I said. "But still be on your guards." We wondered the area for awhile until it got dark.

"Dang it." I said.

"Oh great." Hige said.

"Now what?" Blue asked.

"Oh yes." Hige said. "Now what oh powerful alpha female." I growled.

"This way." I said trotting off.

"What is your drive?" Hige asked me. "Kiba goes after the lunar flower smell. And you?" I thought before answering.

"I'm winging it!" I laughed out.

"You what!?" Hige asked. Hige and I were up ahead of Blue who was lagging behind. We turned around and waited for her to catch up. Blue started to trot. A car started to head towards her, which was weird because what was a car doing way out here? When the headlights came onto her she ran towards us. When she got back we stared at the car that stopped, a man got out.

"Blue!" He yelled. We jumped it was the hunter, Blue's owner he would be called. Blue whimpered.

"If you want to ever return to him." I said. "Now is the time to do it."

"No." Blue said. "I can never do it." The man got back in the car after a few minutes and drove off.

"Well, well, well look what we have here." A male said stepping out from the trees. "Two wolves and their pet doggie." Hige snarled then attacked the male wolf from the other pack. I looked down at my feet and noticed a ledge. I tried to get away from it but Hige and the other male bumped into me. I yelped as I fell off the hedge.

Luckily it wasn't that high up, but unfortunately I landed on a sharp rock. It ripped my left leg open leaving a large gash I rolled off the rock and landed on my right paw spraining my ankle in the process. I got up uneasily.

"That one wont be missed." I heard Hige say. "Wait Rexy? Where did you go?" I looked up and yelped, Hige and Blue came over and leaned over the hedge.

"Oh my god!" Hige barked out. "I let Rexy get hurt! Kiba's going to kill me!"

"I'm… okay…" I panted. "Really…"

"Don't worry!" He yelled down to me. "We're find a way around to you!" I nodded and the to disappeared from my view…

"IM SO LONELY!" I cried out. Ugh! Why is it that when I'm lonely I talk to myself? I was about to howl out to Hige and Blue to see where they are but I stopped because the other wolves might hear me. The sun rised and then started to set again. I've been laying in the same spot FOREVER!!!

"I wonder how the others are?" I asked myself as I staggered to my feet unsteadily. I would limp a few steps then collapse. I changed to my human form and continued to limp again.

"Dang" I breathed. "Where's Hige and Blue." I then started to mumble to myself.

"Paradise… Hige… Blue… Male wolves…" I staggered with every word. "Falling… so… sleepy…" I started to fall onto the ground only to be caught by some one.

"Rexy!?" Asked Kiba worriedly. "Are you okay? What happened?" He slowly sat me down but still kept his hand on my back supporting me up.

"A male attacked Blue, Hige, and me… I fell off a ledge and got hurt." I whispered.

"It will be okay." Kiba whispered to me. I smiled meekly. "I won't let anything hurt you." He then put his other arm under my legs then lifted me up.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I passed a shelter on the way here. I was tracking the smell of you're blood." Kiba said starting to walk in the direction I was originally heading for.

"It's not Hige's fault." I said after the silence got kinda ackward.

"Why would I blame it on Hige?" Kiba asked. I shrugged.

"I'm out of it." I said. "And Hige said that you were going to kill him because I got hurt."

"Did you hit you're head?" Kiba asked. Ugh! I think so because I couldn't get anything out I ended up saying something totally different.

"Why would I hit my head?" I asked. "I fell from the sky?!" Kiba looked worried.

"I'll take that as a yes." Kiba said. "Just don't go to sleep for awhile."

"But my head hurts!" I whined.

"Rexy!" Kiba almost yelled. "Don't fall asleep just keep talking we are almost there."

"Okay." Was all I said. We arrived at the cave type thing and Kiba walked in and sat down with me still in his arms.

"So do you feel better now?" Kiba asked

"Yea." I said nuzzling into his chest, I soon fell asleep…

"REXY!!!" I jumped awake when I heard Hige's voice.

"That's Hige!" I told Kiba.

"Do you need help up?" Kiba asked.

"Yea." I said with a wince, Kiba helped me up and put his arm around my waste. We walked out of the cave.

"Hige!" I yelled.

"Rexy!" He replied. Hige and Blue came into view.

"Oh good your okay." Hige said. "Kiba! Where are Tsume and Toboe?"

"I got separated from them." He answered. I staggered over to the iced wall of the ledge I fell off of, and leaned up against it. I winced and Hige looked at me.

"Oh come on!" He smirked. "You're hurt that much from such a little fall?!"

"How bought I push you off!" I growled. Hige backed away, I looked at my right wrist that was starting to swell up.

"It only seems far." I mumbled. We then heard a howl that was very close.

"Toboe!" I cheered.

"Hige, you and Blue go get him." Kiba ordered.

"I can walk." I said trying to walk but only falling over to be caught by Kiba.

"Oh I can see that." He replied setting me against the ice wall again.

"Come on Blue." Hige said grabbing her wrist and walking away. So then it was just Kiba and I again, all alone. Que. the ackward silence! I looked up into his eyes and a new want surpassed us. I was surprised when he pinned his body against mine and our lips met. But we had to part because we heard Hige coming back.

"Do you think you can walk?" Kiba asked me. I shook my head to clear it, it was still a little dizzy from the sudden kiss.

"Yea." I walked a bit in front of him so he knew I wasn't lying.

"Look who I found." Hige boasted as he came around the corner. "The runt and Tsume."

"What happened to you?" Tsume asked me.

"Hige pushed me off a cliff." I shrugged.

"Oh get over it, it was an accident!" Hige defended himself.

"Hige!" Toboe whined. "Rexy could have gotten hurt a lot worse!"

"Well we better get out of here, before the rest of those wolves show up." Kiba said we all started to walk away but soon I fell to the very back of the pack. I soon had to struggle to keep up. Kiba looked towards me and then walked back to me. He picked me up and gentle slung me on his back.

"What are you doing?" I asked now placed on his back, piggyback style.

"You're taking to long." He said running to catch up with the others. I looked at Tsume who was smirking at me.

"Think about what you're about to say if you value your life!" I growled. This was going to be a long journey…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
