“Why does she have to be such a brat all the time?!” Tsume half yelled as they resided near a ruin of a building. They always find it safer there. After their encounter with the other wolf pack, they found this. Raven had fallen asleep near Hige, him asleep as well. Kiba was really paying much heap to either, his gaze towards the moon. Toboe was sitting beside Tsume, giving him a stern look. “She isn't a brat Tsume.” He replied, shaking his head. “Indeed she is.” Tsume retorted back. He rolled his eyes slightly. “You don't even know the half of it.” Tsume glared at him. “What has happen to you Toboe? You have changed so much.” Toboe grit his fangs together. All of them seem in human form except Raven and Hige. “Its hard to explain.” Toboe rolled to his side. “Give it a try Toboe.” Tsume reassured.

As the ride home seemed much a scare for Toboe for he had never ridden in a car before. He shivered slightly and looked outside the window as they neared the hunter's home. Toboe perked his ears at the sounds of dogs nearby. Wagging his tail he was eager to get out. Though the hunter not being ever so trusting of Toboe, slipped a rope around his neck and pulled him out of the truck. Toboe just followed along, not quite sure of what was around his neck, but shrugged it off. A few dogs watched him curiously, but one was not a dog at all. She seemed well to different then the other dogs, all being hunting dogs. Toboe turned his gaze towards her, regonizing her breed intently. He howled slightly, the hunter stopped, shocked, looked to Toboe. He smirked and tied Toboe up near a tree. He slipped the rope off after he had the chain secure. The hunter went inside, but did not come out for the rest of the night. The She-wolf padded up to Toboe interested in him. She was pure black, just like Raven.

“My my, its been awhile since I've actually seen a wolf beside myself.” She chuckled as she spoke to him. Toboe grinned and slunked to his haunches. “Hi I'm Toboe.” He replied. She tilted her head, trying to remember her name. “I'm Kiara.” She replied. Toboe grinned slightly and wagged his tail once more. “How long have you've been here? I like humans.” He blurted. She tilted her head in a questionable manner. “Interesting Child. I am not quite sure how long I've lived here, perhaps for all my life. Humans? They seem alright sometimes. Not always.” Toboe was puzzled. “Do you not like this human?” She shook her head. “He isn't all that kind sometimes. You came out lucky.” Toboe nodded and looked towards the door and then back to Kiara. Toboe curled up to rest, Kiara curled up beside him. He smiled and slowly fell asleep, as she did as well.

As sun broke across the sky, Toboe slowly awoke by the sounds so strange to him. A car horn honking. He groaned and got up stretching. He realized Kiara was not there beside him. He whimpered and looked about for her. He jerked his head at the sounds of dogs barking. He silently watched the dogs chase after a rabbit. He tilted his head in a questionable manner and shrugged slightly. He pondered to himself. “Weird.” He said to himself. Kiara ran up beside him and chuckled, nudging him lightly. “Thats a dog for ya.” She smiled as she spoke. He tilted his head to her and chuckled. “Well we are wolves right?” She nodded to his question. “Right.” She said. They both turned their gaze as the hunter walked towards them. He shoved Kiara over a bit and unhooked Toboe from the chain.

He quickly placed a leash around him, yanking him slightly. Toboe yelped and yanked himself. The hunter eyed him slightly and yanked him once more. Toboe obeyed and quickly ran to meet with his pace. He had no idea what the hunter was planning, but it frighten him so. Kiara quickly came along as the hunter whistled for her. “Charles!” The hunter jerked his head at his name. He eyed his wife sternly. “What woman?!” He yelled to her, not pleased. She motioned for him to come here. He groaned and tied Toboe to his truck and ran over to his wife. After a few minutes had passed he had come back to Toboe and glared at him. “You stay here!” He order as he untied Toboe from the leash and slipped it over Kiara. She yelped as he yanked her into the car. Toboe watched helpless, wanting to help her.

After it seemed hours before Charles came back, but Kiara did not. Toboe tensed and whined slightly, bounding over to Charles. Charles kicked him and shoved him away. Toboe watched him go inside, hesitating he took his chance and bounded towards Kiara's scent. He stopped slightly and sniffed around. After a few minutes he had fully caught her scent. Bounding across the terra as he went as far as the scent drew. After a few hours had passed, he was near. He started to walk really fast, trying to find her. He jerked his head as he heard whining, he quickly scampered towards the whining. There she was, his heart leaped. He bolted towards her and nudged her lightly. Kiara half-jumped as he nudged her.

She wagged her tail, happy to see him. “What happen Kiara?” He asked her, very worried. She shook her head. “The human brought me out all the way here and tied me up. He spoke words to me that did not entirely make sense.” She replied. “What did he say?” He asked. “I feel such heat inside of me. He told me I was to stay out here and die for he did not want to see me birth.” She tilted her head slightly. “I do not understand the human at all.” Kiara replied once more. “I do not understand you Kiara.” Toboe had a puzzled look. Kiara shook her head. “Toboe, remember last night?” He nodded slightly. “You are going to be a father.” Toboe looked at her shocked. He did not know what to say.

He had not intended this, nor did he know how. Though he knew, but it did not click in. He doesn't remember doing anything. Kiara chuckled. “I'm so sorry Toboe, I did not mean to actually say that. Will you be the father of my pups?” He tilted his head in a questionable manner. “You are not pregnant Kiara?” She shook her head. “No..but I shall be soon, if thats ok with your?” Toboe backed away slightly. “But I don't know how to be a father Kiara.” She shook her head and got up and tugged slightly on her leash. “Its will come to you.” She replied. Toboe looked to the leash and closed his jaws around the collar end. Snapping it in two and releasing her.

“What do we do now?” Toboe asked. She shook her head and chuckled. “You can go back and I shall tell you when it is time or perhaps you can stay with me.” Toboe thought a few moments and perked his ears slightly. “He might be searching for me, I don't want to get you in trouble.” He said as the turned away and bolted. “Call me Kiara.” He yelled back as he ran across the terra home. After a few hours he had arrived home, seeing it to be dark. He quietly went to the tree, but was not successful. The dogs started barking. The leader smirked and glared at him. “Bad wolfy.” He had said as they both turned their attention towards the door. Charles slammed the door open and eyed Toboe. He raced over to him and kicked him a few times and yelled at him. Toboe whimpered and laid there, watching him go inside. He could not sleep peacefully anymore.

After a few months living with the hunter was a hell hole for Toboe. Toboe had waited for days for Kiara's call, he had wondered so much as to what she had said. He had to survive on his own as well. The other dogs never allowed him peace. He had to learn to grow up and to follow the rules of nature. Survival of the fittest, thats what he learned. He bristled and growled at the other dogs, growing very tired of them. One day he heard the call, the call from Kiara. He smiled and bolted after it. He didn't care what would happen, but he had waited so long. He ran as far as the sound had came. He had stopped dead near Kiara, wagging his tail.

She was just as happy to see him as he was her. She wagged her tail and motioned him to follow her. They both wondered in the forest until they reached a cave-like den. Toboe tilted his head and wondered slightly what this was. Kiara padded inside and waited for him. Toboe sniffed the air slightly and a slightly strong scent hit him. He looked inside the cave. He knew what to do now, he followed her in. After a few days this continued, Toboe stayed beside her, making sure her pregnancy went ok. He had went home on several occasions. Receiving beatings each time, but he did not care. After a few months it was time.

Toboe was there when she finally birthed. He made sure no one but he and she was around. He watched excitedly as each puppy appeared. He smiled, but frowned as he realized the runt was not breathing. He whimpered and nudged her slightly, he was wondered for the small pup. After a few minutes she had started breathing again. He nudged her towards the other pups. He carefully counted them, 4 puppies. He wagged his tail and nuzzled Kiara. They were both proud of their new family.

After a few months raising the puppies and the secrets and sneaking, the pups had grown a bit. Though this did not last, the hunter soon found out. One day as Toboe sneaked in the forest, the hunter grabbed his dogs and quietly followed him. Toboe had remained alert, very cautious. He felt something was not right. He stopped every so often to make sure. He saw no sign. He ran slightly and finally made it towards Kiara. He had done this many times, but grew eager each time. He had watched the pups grow since birth. Suddenly the dogs busted out, barking wildly. Toboe bristled and growled lowly as did Kiara. They stood between the pups and dogs. The hunter aimed his gun as he came out. He smirked slightly and shook his head. “Its a shame wolf you had to betray me.” He cocked his gun, but Toboe leaped for the gun, allowing the man to fall. He had a good hold of his arm. The dogs growled and leaped to defend their master.

Kiara leaped and tackled the leader, the other dogs jerked back and watched, not quite sure of what to do. Charles finally shoved Toboe over with his gun, injuring him slightly. Toboe fell back and yelped. Kiara fell back as well as a loud bang rang through the air. Toboe whimpered and blacked out. Several hours later he finally awoke. He tilted his head wondering. He finally remembered what had happened as his memory came back. He quickly leaped up and looked around. He found a bloodied Kiara. He whimpered and nudged her slightly, worried. He nuzzled her and pawed her, whimpering. She did not move, tears formed into his eyes as he cried. “No..” He looked about for the puppies. He found only 3 dead pups. Where was the fourth?

He desperately looked for her, hoping she was alive. After severals hours looking for her, he heard a whimper. Hope feeled his eyes. He quickly scampered towards the noise. There it was, the furry black form of the runt puppy he had searched for. He smiled and nudged his only family, Raven.

For a about a year and half they both had ran away. Town to town, city to city. Finding many ways to get away from the others. The last city they had been, was when they finally found Toboe's friends.

Toboe laid there leaving Tsume puzzled in bewilderment. Tsume looked to Toboe and nudged him lightly. “Sorry Toboe....” He said as he slunked down slightly. Hige had been awake the whole time as he heard the story, Kiba was listening as well. Hige looked over to Raven, she was still asleep. Or so to Hige it seemed. She was awake to whole time, silent tears formed inside of her. She had no idea.
