Wolf\'s Blood

A/N: I was just reading my reviews for this fic and clearly someone doesn't read the A/N's. This a ToboexTsume pairing fic. There are other pairings but they are not yaoi pairings, just this one. Maybe. If you are confused of what happen, then let me explain. Tsume and Seven are, for a limited amount of time, on a friendship level because of one common interest. Toboe. So, Tsume was just helping a buddy out. Seven just likes to flirt with him cause it annoyed Tsume and had left it just at that. If you read closely, you find little clues of who actually likes who. That was my massage to the confused reviewer. Next time, take the time to read the A/N's. so I don't have to waste a time to just clear up something up that was already explain.

Grope 8: Dogs and Angels.

The day after was slightly better then one before. Except for the argument in the morning when they heard a few curses uttered through clenched teeth as the girl moved around, gathering supplies that could be carried in her bag.

Kiba v. Seven, Round two.

Ready.

Set.

Go.

“What the fuck are you doing?”

“What does it look like, Dumbass?”

“You should be resting!”

“No, we should be going! We already wasted too much as is!”

Everyone that wasn’t involved with the fight, just turned their back on the two and hoped that maybe, hopefully, they would stop fighting and shut-up. The Gods seemed to dislike them very much that morning

When Kiba realized that he wasn’t going to win, damned him for trying, he just let the girl do as she will and kept silent for the rest of the morning and most of the afternoon. He pretty much stayed out of the way for most of the trek Up until, the runts started to get into themselves.

For a good three hours, Toboe was consistently asking if he should carry the bag or maybe they stop to rest or maybe one of them should carried her. She liked the boy, she truly did but enough was enough.

“Look!” She turned around to grabbed the kid’s shoulders. “I’m fine. I have been shot before and will be shot again. I do not need any one’s help!” Please let that sink through that little auburn head of his.

“But you really should be taking it easy, Seven.” Gods, please don’t let him tear up. Tsume might forgot about their little alliance if she made his little auburn puppy cried.

Yes, she knew about the secret crush that the grey wolf had for the kid. Sometimes it pays to be a mind-reader. True, she wasn’t a true mind-reader but it still pays to have powers like she did. Besides, you had to be blind at the looks that he would be giving towards the boy and the really evil looks that he would give to anyone else that even dared speak to Toboe in loving and friendly tone. Or try to harm him in some way.

“Toboe’s right..” The ever so serious brunet stated behind her.

She turned around to begin round three, Kiba quickly grabbed both wrists and pulled the shell-shocked girl onto his back and went back to walking. It was a good two and half minutes of eerily silence before Round three officially started.

“KIBA, FOR THE LOVE OF LEATHER PUT ME THE FUCK DOWN NOW!” How the boy’s hearing survived that attack, who knows. It just did.

He gave a simply no and stated that she really give her leg a chance to heal before she go walking on it.

“FUCK IT, I WILL NOT BE CARRIED LIKE SOME DAMN PUP!” Even Blue who was currently resting inside of the blue hood wondering just how Kiba could stand all that screaming and still could hear.

“I’m not letting you down till we camp for the night, so pipe down before I gagged you with Hige’s sock.” In a very cool and calm tone of voice.

She did quieted down but only because she really didn’t want Hige’s sock anywhere near her mouth. And she would only speak when she needed to give direction. In a quiet, soft-spoken way if anyone notice. Trust me, it didn‘t go un-notice. And was greatly appreciated by everyone in the forest.

Light crimson eyes looked to the right then to the left. Then right again. Tension was in the air as they waited for their guide to make a decision. Only one person was just brave enough to say the one question that was on everyone’s minds.

“I can’t believe it, you have no idea of where you are going!” okay it wasn’t a question but everyone was thinking it.

She turned her head around to properly counter-snap at the grey wolf.

“Look, I haven’t made a return trip in like forever!” The twilight-haired girl clumsy leaped off of her carrier’s back to jammed her face in her new opponent bronze face.

“I have been all over the place for a long time, looking for your scrawny but cute ass! Plus, I have like thousands upon thousands of other people’s memories running through my brain like a god-damned river that never ends so don’t expect me to automatally know just exactly know of where the fuck I’m going every single god-fucking-damn time I start walking!” She poked in the x-scared chest to make a point.

“Then buy a fucking map!” Having enough with the girl, he ungraciously pushed her backwards, landing on her ass.

“Tsume, that was pushing it too far.” Toboe muttered, tugging on the bronze arm.

“The runt’s right.” the plush teen agreed.

“Oh, it’s on now!” Seven shifted to wolf and charged at the now shifted grey wolf.

But before any real blood was spilled, the pack’s leader simply picked up the small black wolf by the scruff of her neck. Jaws were snapping madly as the body twisted around to free its self.

“It’s been a long month and all, but if you pups don’t mind. Its getting dark and it would take Tsume and Toboe awhile to find some food.” He dropped the snarling wolfness to ground as the grey wolf shifted back to human.

“Why me and Tsume?” He really wasn’t looking forward to being alone with the older male. It wasn’t because he was afraid of him, just really confused by the little feelings that seem to make themselves known when ever he was around the larger man.

“Because, Seven can’t hunt on her own yet and Hige would probably take his sweet time and most likely eat it all before coming back to camp.” Hige blurted in ‘Hey’ in the background.

“And knowing how everyone’s feels about one another at the moment.” Cobalt eyes looked around at the three main troublemakers. You will notice that none of them return his glaze.

“I think it would be better if I stayed behind.” He finished

“Pompous Ass.” A little black with lilac and gold highlights mouse squeaked.

“Fine with me.” The white-haired man said like it was no big deal and then turned to look at the runt. “Just don’t get lost, Pup.” then he walked into the forest.

Toboe was about to follow when Seven asked him to come by her for a minute.

“The secret to hunting your prey is to corner him and make sure there was no escape. And aim for the neck or---.” She whispered the rest which caused the runt to turn a wonderful shade of red and his eyes nearly popped out.

“Eh-all right. Thank you, Seven.” Roadrunner couldn’t top that little boy’s speed as he went off to catch up with the older wolf.

“Um, do we even want to know?” Hige asked while Kiba just raised his eyebrow.

“Just a page from on ‘How to catch your most desirable prey’ by Seven.” She gave her trademark smirk.

Yup, it pays to have her kind of powers.

No wonder that brat hated to hunt. It took forever to find something that was furry and meaty. The runt was no where to be seen either. So plus dinner, the grey wolf had to hunt down a little auburn boy. Nothing bad about that expect for the big age gap between them and the kid already had a bad experience. Being a more protector then a child molester, Tsume decided to keep a good emotional distance away from the kid. It has not been easy.

Some quick movement from the far left corner of his amber eye and off he went after it, not willing to wait another hour for Thumber to show his cotton-tail ass. The little rabbit took the grey wolf for a long and un-successful run through the briars and sharp twigs. Till finally the little cotton-tail bunny drove into labyrinth of roots of a huge elm.

“Fuck!’ He uttered as his arm tried to reach for the escaped meal. All he could get was dirt and something that really shouldn’t be mention.

“Tsume..” Great, now he shows up.

“Not now, kid.” The bronze man said not looking away from his objective and stubbornly continue to grab the damn rabbit, all though he’s probably in his barrow laughing his little puff tail off at the stupid wolf.

He felt a hand smaller then his own softly touching his bronze neck. For a minute, the older male just savor this innocent but not so innocent touch. Then he remember that this was huge nah-hah and quickly to turned around to stop the runt before it was too late.

The bronze hand grabbed the pale hand but that was all that Tsume could do. For in the younger and oval amber eyes, he saw pure lust. That alone had froze the older wolf to where he sat. His breaths came in short pants as the boy came closer to gave a simple nip on the broad bronze neck. A moan and a eye-flatter was his only answer. Toboe led a trail of red marks of nips to the brown lips and kissed them.

Even while the runt was claiming him with gentle bites, he still could not move for it might end the sweet fantasy far too soon. Another pale hand had found its way into the short white stubble of hair, it was not taken way like its brother which was still in the grip of the much stronger hand. A nibble at the brown lips told them to part and they obeyed mindlessly.

The feel of the soft appendage inside his mouth melted the ice that had captured the grey wolf and he immediately pushed the young pup to the ground.

“Tsume, what is it?” He was unsure of why the one that he had been fantasying about was staring at him with so much anger.

Did he do something wrong? Was there something he should have done instead.

“Just don’t come near me, anymore.” In a horse whisper and then rushed to find more catchable game. Leaving the boy in tears.

They tried so hard not to look. He tried so hard not to laugh but seeing an almost grown woman licking at her shoulder wound like a dog was.. well funny. Even the white kitten wanted to laugh.

“Should I buy a big white cone?” He knew he was walking on dangerous grounds but he had to say it.

“Stuff it, Plushie!’ She let out a low growl and continue on her task.

Even the serious of them all had to chuckle. Only because it was kind of cute. He walked over to the girl from the fire that he had made to cook whatever the other two had caught for dinner and pushed her head away to check on the wound. Now, he didn’t have any medical training but to him, it looked worse then earlier that morning. It was a nasty brown and yellow with a angry red that circled around it. He unwrapped the soiled bandage from the thigh wound to see if it matched the shoulder. It looked even worse.

“You need a doctor.” He whispered.

“Or a vet.” Popped in the sandy wolf before receiving a small rock to the head. His cry only heard by his little fluffy stalker who licked his hand in comfort.

“I am fine for the hundredth millionth time.” She tried to move away but couldn’t since her un-wounded leg was caught in the hands of a concern brunet.

“And for the hundredth millionth and one time, you are not.” The blue orbs looked down at light crimson, begging to be listen to.

A broken twig brought all eyes to the returning grey wolf with only one rabbit in his hands.

“You know that won’t feed all of us.” Tsume glared back with death in his eyes and Hige kept his mouth shut for the rest of the night. It has brought nothing but evil.

Toboe came after but didn’t look away from the ground and settle at the side of his big sister. Kiba took the long strips of blue and wrapped them around the shoulder and thigh while Tsume prepared the meager meal. Someday soon, they have to get a first-aid kit and a new shirt for the sandy wolf. There was barely any fabric left and the nights are getting colder as they head north. And why the fuck was his shirt being the only that was used as bandages?!

“What’s wrong, honey?” She whispered after the white wolf went back to his place near the fire.

He said nothing but hid his face in her shoulder, staining her black jacket-shirt with tears. Something happen at there, there was no doubt about that. And that something had made her little pup cry. Seven tried to care for the boy as best as she could and repeated her question again. A few feet away, someone who wants to remain nameless for the moment felt his own heart hurting for he knew that his refusal made the runt so heartbroken.

“I shouldn’t have do it, now he hates me.” In between sobs.

Curious, the twilight haired girl what her baby brother had done and who hates him.

“I..I kissed him and he hates me for it. Why..” The rest of the question was lost in a tear.

Rubbing his purple-clad back, Seven looked straight at who she knew was the culprit and made sure that they will be having some words as soon as they can be alone.
