The New Red River Pack

[ebony]

Kiba: Here, we'll rest here. * Walks boldly into the cave and lays down *

There's been other wolves here.

Kiba: So, they're not here right now. So don't get your fur all bunch up and lay down.

-_-; * Growls and walks into the cave and lays down *

Kiba: It's starting to snow.

* Looks out of the cave and sees snow and sighs *

Kiba: You don't like snow, do you?

No.

Kiba: Why?

I have my reasons, alright?

Kiba: Ok, but we're the only ones here. Why don't you like the snow. Your a snow wolf.

* Raises head and looks at him with sharp eyes * Look, I said I have my reasons, so just drop it, ok?

Kiba: I just wanted to know. Jeez. * Lays head back down *

* Sighs, annoyed with the bad feeling in my stomach and rises to my feet and walks slowly over to Kiba, standing infront of him *

Kiba: What?

My mother and father died when it was snowing. That's how I got seperated from my pack.

Kiba: How were they killed?

* Sighs and looks away *

Kiba: * Stands up * How were they killed?

* Looks down and finally looks back up at him * Me.....

Kiba: WHAT?!

* Noddes *

Kiba: Why'd you kill your parents?

I didn't mean to. It was my power. My mother and father. They weren't supposed to have pups because they were both light wolves. And when that happens-

Kiba: They have dark powered pups.

* Noddes * My power was too much, so they died.

Kiba: I'm sorry, I didn't know.

It's ok.

[ebony]

* Sighs and walks to the back of the cave, and lays down *

Kiba: * Looks back at me * You cold?

No, I'm fine.

Kiba: Hungry?

No, not really.

Kiba: Come on, you've GOT to be something. * Smirks *

* Rolls eyes * Fine. I'm cold.

Kiba: * Grins * That's better. * Walks slowly to the back of the cave and lays by me * Watch.

* Raises head and looks at him *

Kiba: * Smiles softly and blows something *

* Looks and sees a blue fire start * Blue fire?

Kiba: The one and only. * Smiles *

* Smiles back and blows black air into the blue fire and they mix together, shooting off a great heat *

Kiba: It's like they're dancing together.

* Noddes, watching the black flames and the blue flames intertwine with eachother and sighs, laying head back down *

Kiba: * Looks at me for a second * Tell me something.

What?

Kiba: Have you ever been in love?

* Pauses and looks at him * Yeah. Once. A long long time ago.

Kiba: Did they love you back?

Yeah. I believe he did.

Kiba: What happened?

Life happened.

Kiba: * Raises an eyebrow *

He died.

Kiba: Really? How?

Another pack killed him. We were going to run away. Start our own pack. But in order to get to where we wanted to go, we had to pass through another pack's territory. I got away, but he didn't.......

Kiba: I'm sorry.

* Looks at him and out of the cave and sighs * Life moves on.

Kiba: True

Have you ever been in love?

Kiba: Yes. Twice.

Twice? How'd the first one end?

Kiba: * Chuckles * She loved someone else.

* Smirks * How'd the second one end/

Kiba: It hasn't. Hopefully, it's just begun.

* Looks at him * Me?

Kiba: * Noddes and stands up * I can feel it.

But, we've just met.

Kiba: I know.

* Smiles at him and sits up *

Kiba: Do you have any pups?

No. You?

Kiba: One. But, she was killed.

By who?

Kiba: Her mother.

[ebony]

Why.........why'd she kill her?

Kiba: * Looks at the fire * Because, I was her father.

* Gasps and looks at him * Is that a bad thing?

Kiba: To her. Yes.

I'm so sorry.

Kiba: * Smiles and walks over to me * It's ok. Because hopefully, you won't be the same.

* Smiles and nuzzles him * I won't.

Kiba: * Smiles * Come. We must find some food. This storm is going to be a long one.

* Stands up and trots out of the cave with him *

[ebony]

Kiba: * Snickers * And THIS time, we'll hunt together.

And hopefully I won't scare it away this time, huh?

Kiba: * Noddes, smirking *

* Smiles and smells deer and stops *

Kiba: What?

Shhhhh * Crouches down low and stops in some bushes *

Kiba: A buck.

* Noddes *

Kiba: I'll scare him and you make the kill.

Why me?

Kiba: Because you can run faster than me.

[ebony]

* Sneeks around to where the buck is and waits *

Kiba: * Jumps out from the bushes *

Buck: * Runs away *

* Smirks * Good. I picked the right direction. * Waits and jumps out from the bushes *

Buck: * Runs faster *

* Growls and picks up the pace and jumps on him and bites down on his neck, bringing him to the ground *

Kiba: * Catches up with me and helps kill the buck * Good job Shay.

* Panting *

Kiba: What's wrong?

We need a pack.

Kiba: * Doesn't say anyhting *

We can't keep hunting like this. It's silly AND useless. This buck won't last us a whole week.

Kiba: * Sighs * I know. But we have to try. At least until the snow passes. I'm sorry I made you run.

It's ok. We would've never caught him anyways if I hadn't jumped on him.

Kiba: * Smiles and licks my muzzle *

* Licks him back *

Kiba: Come on. Lets get this back to the cave before any other animals smell the blood. * Grabs his two hinds legs and starts dragging him *

* Grabs the neck and helps *

( A Month Later )

* Yawns and looks around, not seeing Kiba OR Blue and stands up, careful not to wake the two littles bundles of black and white * Sleep well my pups. * Smiles as the little black bundle shifts and stretches, then drifts back into sleep and walks to the entrance of the cave *

Blue: * Comes running up to me, and smirks * You shouldn't be up. You should be with those little jewels.

* Smiles * I know. But they're fine. And winters almost over. I just wanted to stretch my legs and see what the outside looks like *

Blue: * Smiles *

Where's Kiba?

Blue: I dunno. I lost him back in the woods. He was talking with some other wolves.

Oh. Were they nice?

Blue: OH YEAH!!! They just wanted to know where a good hunting place would be.

How many of them were there?

Blue: Three. A female and two males. The grey was pretty hot.

* Rolls eyes and hears the pups whimpering and trots back into the cave *

Black one: * Wining loudly, making the white stirr *

Shhhh. Mommy's here. * Carefully lays down next to them *

Black one: * Stops whimpering when he finds me and curls up in the crook of my two front legs *

* Smiles softly and looks at the white one *

Blue: * Picks her up by the scruff and sets her by the black one *

* Looks up at Blue and smiles *

Blue: They're so sweet.

* Gleams * Yes. They're my pride and joy. They're what I live for.

Blue * Smiles *

Kiba: * Runs into the cave and slows down when he gets closer to me, looking at the pups, me, and Blue * How are my littles babies doing?

Just fine. Where were you?

Kiba: Talking with some other wolves. They were looking for good hunting grounds.

Did you tell them?

Kiba: * Noddes and lays down next to me, putting his head over my back *

Bandit: * Flattens his ears and lays his head on his paws *
Snow: * Growls inwardly and starts to run at him again *
* Sighs and trots towards her, picking her up just in time before she landed on Bandit *
Snow: * Laughs * What'd you do that for mommy?
* Sets her down and sits, looking down at her * Honey, Bandit's still sick.
Snow: But he threw me on the ground! He shouldn't be able to do that when he's sick.

Bandit: * Smiles and gets up *
Now, lay in the shallow part of the water on your belly.
Bandit: * Does what he's told *
Better?
Bandit: a little. Thanks mommy!
