D.C talk: hey guyz waz up, once again another cliffhanger xD. But hey it adds to the suspense ;) I'm sorry it took awhile to update I had to make myself stop writing 'Wolf meets Fullmetal' so I could finish this one up. And yes you heard right, this is the final chapter of ' Its just the way things are' xD… but don't worry, if you guyz want I will continue the series as planned ;) The next one in the series goes into Toboe being pregnant.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad Wolfzmasterz… /moment of silence/

Toboe just starred at his back. 'I'm asking a lot out of him,'

'He's not ready for a commitment like this,'

After a few minutes of thinking Toboe decided that Tsume needs some alone time to think. She slowly lifted her fragile body of the couch, lowering her shaking legs onto the floor; Tsume turned his attention to her legs. 'Her body's not stable yet,' he thought silently.

Toboe was making her way towards blue's room when she realized that Kiba was still out there fighting Quent…alone.

"Kiba!" Toboe said to herself. Toboe started limping towards the door when it slowly opened to revile a beat up Kiba.

"Kiba! What happened?" Toboe shouted as she grabbed Kiba before he hit the ground.

Toboe felt a warm liquid substance flowing down her arm that was supporting Kiba.

"Blue!" Toboe yelled, as she held onto Kiba with her good arm. A few seconds later blue popped up.

"Yeah, what is it?" Blue said sleepily as she rubbed her eyes. When she opened them she saw a wounded Kiba.

"What happened?" Blue yelled as she ran over to them.

"Qu..ent.." replied Kiba as he passed out.

"Blue take care of him, I'm going to go get some things to clean him up with," Toboe said as she made her way over to the door. She almost had the door open when she felt some one's hand lightly grab a hold of her shoulder. Toboe turned around to face gold orbs.

"I'm going with you," Tsume said as he walked out with a little bit of a limp.

"But Tsume you wounded," Toboe whimpered pleadingly.

"I'm fine," Tsume replied back sternly.

Tsume and Toboe were making their way through the isle's looking for the medicine area. Once they purchased the few items the silently made their way back to the apartment, both at a loss of words.

"Ouch," Toboe whispered when she felt one of the pups kick.

Tsume turned around to ask what was wrong, but stopped when he noticed that she was rubbing her stomach.

"Pups?" asked Tsume.

Toboe's head was down with her long bangs were covering her eyes. She just nodded 'yes'.

Tsume softened his gaze.

'Wait a second what's that scent? It seems all too familiar,' Tsume thought, putting his guard up, now he had no room to make foolish mistakes any more. With Toboe being pregnant and everything.

"Run back to the apartment, and don't look back!" Tsume said sternly to Toboe with his back turned to her.

Toboe put her hand on Tsume's shoulder, "Not with out you," She replied gently.

"Toboe go! We have a responsibility now…we have to protect the pups at all cost, so do as I said!" Tsume replied leaving no room left to argue. Toboe took the hint and took off running. Tsume waited awhile, his eyes looking left to right searching for Quent. After he couldn't find him he decided that he would go back to apartment.

The first thing Tsume saw when he opened the door was Kiba lying on the couch starring up at the ceiling while Toboe and Blue cleaned him up. Kiba finally noticed his presence and turned his head to come into eye contact with Tsume.

"We have to leave, Quent's on the hunt again," Tsume said putting in a lot of emotion when he mentioned that filth's name.

Kiba just lay there thinking. Tsume was starting to get fed up with Kiba just starring at him like he hadn't heard him.

Tsume took a few steps forward starring Kiba down like he was a filthy dog.

"Well what's the plan?" Tsume voiced in the comment that kept repeating it's self in his head.

"We search for paradise again," Kiba replied back casually as he sat up.

-D.C out…(For now, anyways)
