Chapter 4~

It was night, and the moonlight was going directly into the cave to shine on the wolves eyes, as if it was trying to wake them up to continue on the journey. But... None of them really did want to wake up! They only have gotten five hours of sleep! They need way more! But as always, Amato quickly stood up. The wolf known as, Rebel, was already up. Yukio perked his ears, but his eyes kept closed. He heard the wolf coming close to him and Nora, and when it was close... Yukio snapped his eyes open and quickly stood in front of Nora, defending her.
"I said... Don't get near us!"
Yukio growled, his claws itching to claw at the wolf, but Amato went in front of him and stopped Yukio from attacking. This made everyone wake up... Even Nora...
"Yukio, what is wrong with you? Its not like he is going to hurt her!"
Kita said, licking his chest fur and then wiping his muzzle with his paw. Hala stared at Yukio, but showed no sign of fear as the rest did. She wasn't scared of her brother, he was just trying to do what was right for them... He was just trying to protect them... Hala understood, but no one else seemed to understand her brother... Well, she was his sister... So, she knew everything about him!
Amato just shook his head and then looked out of the cave. Outside was... Super clear! Amato widened his eyes. It was never this clear! It was always... Covered in fog! Amato looked over his shoulder to look at Yukio, Hala, Veno, Nora and Kita. Rebel was in front of him...
"Lets go everyone. Were lucky today."
Amato said and then he ran out of the cave. Veno and Kita quickly went after him along with Rebel. Hala went to, which left Yukio and Nora together... Nora looked at Yukio and then and she stood on her paws and started walking toward the cave entrance. Yukio wanted to speak to her, but it... Wasn't the right time to... But he did... He really wanted to, badly... But he couldn't! Not now... Yukio sat there, completely frozen. Everyone was waiting outside...
Nora looked over her shoulder.
"Are you coming, Yukio?"
Nora asked, but Yukio just stood there for a few moments before shaking his head. Then he looked at Nora and nodded. He got to his paws, and then he halted beside her, and they exchanged glances before walking out of the cave and into the snow covered land. But... Once they got out, it was amazing! It was clear, everyone was! If you looked closely, you could see the mountains! Where they are trying to go! Yukio smiled widely, and then started running toward it.
"Come on guys, this way!"
Yukio shouted, happily, and he was running quickly over to the mountains. It seemed very, very far. But he knew they could do it!
Amato and the rest looked at him confused while he was running quickly.
"I thought he was all worked up two seconds ago, what happened to him?"
Amato said and then he watched as Yukio just kept running and running...
"Why does it matter? If he is happy he is happy! Lets go!"
Kita said happily and then ran after him, making his paws slide in the snow. Amato and Hala exchanged glances, before running off in the direction everyone was going. But... Veno stayed where Rebel was... Veno looked over to Rebel, and he saw the strange wolf have a smirk on his face. What was he thinking...? But Veno just shook the thought away and then he looked over at Nora, who was smiling over at Yukio. Those two had some sort of thing coming on... Veno just chuckled and he caught Nora's attention.
"Watching Yukio, are we?"
Veno asked and then he chuckled as Nora blushed. Nora looked over to him and then chuckled as well.
"Pfft! No..."
Nora said, and before Veno could ask anything else, she shoved snow in his face and then ran off, laughing. Why not have a good time like everyone else was? It would make it better and get out all the stress! Veno then shook his head to get the snow off of his face, and then he looked up at Nora and grinned. Then, he quickly ran after her.
/I'll get her back!/
Veno thought as he ran after he with tons of laughter filling the air. Rebel followed silently, watching there every movement. But... No one seemed to notice... That's when he ran toward Nora.
Yukio tripped over a piece of ice, and then fell and started rolling in the snow. Kita then smirked and jumped over Yukio, laughing like crazy. Everyone was having a good time! Until, when Yukio got up and shook his pelt, he saw Rebel and Nora talking while they were running. They were... Laughing?!
/Not on my watch!/
Yukio thought and a soft growl escaped out of his mouth and he quickly ran over to them. Once he was there, he jumped in between them to make them spread apart. He didn't want his crush talking to some crazy freak! Plus, it would make it him even more jealous... Then he already was...
Nora stared at Yukio and chuckled. But... Rebel seemed to be, quite getting angry. That's when he purposely tripped Yukio with his paw, which made him fall and get left behind a bit...
"Oops!"
Rebel said and then smirked. Nora looked at Rebel and then chuckled. But back at Yukio, he didn't seem so... Pleased... Then he slowly got to his paws and shook the snow off of his pelt. Then he looked at Nora and Rebel. Now this is what made him real jealous! How about if Nora started falling in love with Rebel?! Then, she'll lose all focus on him, and start focusing on that freak! Yukio sighed and then growled softly, then he chased after them again. Making sure he was at least a bit faster then there pace. But once he got behind Rebel, Rebel kicked snow in his face which blinded Yukio. Yukio then stopped in his tracks and shook the snow off of his face. Yukio then watched Nora and Rebel fade in the distance, and then he started running again toward them. His paws working quickly on the snow covered land. Once he reached the two of them again, Yukio dodged to the side to avoid getting snow in his face, then, he made his paw go in front of Rebel's, which made the strange wolf trip and then Yukio laughed as he fell. Then he went beside Nora and then chuckled. Nora looked at him and then the two of them started laughing again. Yukio then stared into her eyes and smiled. It was a shame that this strange wolf saved her life... Only if he did, it would have made everything so much easier...
