Fate of a Wolf Pack
The Need to Hurry
"To never tell Toboe Hige's true Identity." Tsume says in a quiet voice.
"I understand why he wanted to keep it a secret, but one thing's bothering me." Kiba says, looking like he's concentrating on something really hard.
"What is it?" Tsume asks.
"If you didn't tell Toboe who Hige was......then who did?" Kiba asks, looking worried and confused at the same time.
"That's a good question....I'm not sure." Tsume says, furrowing his eyebrows.
"Well, no sense on dwelling on it tonight. Lets get some sleep. Or are you going to watch?" Kiba asks, looking at Tsume expectantly.
"I'll watch for tonight." Tsume says, sitting down.
"Okay." Kiba says, nodding as he lays back down. The night goes on, and Kiba eventually falls asleep.
"I wonder if Hige-" Tsume begins, but stops when he hears footsteps. He turns around to see a familiar face.
"If I what?" Hige asks, taking a few steps toward them. Tsume takes a closer look at him, only to see him all scratched up.
"What in the world did you do?" Tsume demands.
"It's the nobles again. We have to get out of here tomorrow." Hige says as he lays down next to Tsume.
"What's activating it?" Tsume asks.
"I think it's the forest." Hige says with a sigh.
"Because of all the positive energy here?" Tsume asks.
"Exactly." Hige says, nodding.
"So....where do you suppose we go?" Tsume asks, looking at Hige expectantly.
"Anywhere but here. I don't know how long I can fight them off before they take complete control." Hige says, shaking his head.
"Do you think you can wait til morning?" Tsume asks.
"I can try, but I can't guarantee anything....they're stronger than you could ever imagine." Hige says, looking at Tsume with serious eyes.
"They have to be to cause you this much pain." Tsume says, looking at Hige with worry. Suddenly, they hear movement. They turn to see Kiba jumping off the boulder he had fell asleep on.
"What's going on?" Kiba demands.
"It's nothing." Tsume says, turning away from Kiba.
"How stupid do you think I am?" Kiba demands, glaring at Tsume.
"I've never been very good with these kind of questions." Tsume says in a serious voice.
"Oh, never mind." Kiba says, shaking his head.
"Oh....kay.....but anyway-" Tsume says, turning to look back at Hige.
"And you, Hige! What the hell were you thinking? Thanks to your little stunt, we wasted a whole day that we could have been traveling for!" Kiba shouts, causing Tsume to stop talking again.
"I'm truly sorry, Kiba. If I could have stopped myself, I could have, but I couldn-" Hige begins, but is stopped he Kiba.
"Oh, save it! I've already heard all your excuses." Kiba says, glaring at Hige.
"I understand why he wanted to keep it a secret, but one thing's bothering me." Kiba says, looking like he's concentrating on something really hard.
"What is it?" Tsume asks.
