I own nothing, but my imagination and plotlines.
Ok! One person: Include the wolf rain arc, battle and then epilogue. Person two: Sum up wolf rain arc, battle than epilogue. Person three: Nothing. For, those of you who don't know of Wolf Rain it is about wolves searching for Paradise.
Now, then since no one else made their point known I will do this chapter which is the last chapter ….*cries.*
So, here is a summary of last chapter(s): Kiba has made it to Freeze City and has found the Luna flower maiden, Haku and Zabuza have settled down, but their children's adventures have begun. What will happen now, and in the future?
Chapter 37..!
Immediately after meeting Hige and Tsume, Kiba meets a young pup by the name of Toboe. You see his meeting was different from the first two with the first, Hige going along with him as he escaped prison and Tsume who just rubbed him the wrong way- Toboe's meeting was rather sweet however, sweetness only lasted briefly.
For, that night Kiba met the man who was the one the evil cruel women spoke of the day he was only just a pup himself.
"Hahaaha~ Beauty, "the pink haired pony –tailed gothic one giggled insanely. "Isn't he worth the effort?"
Hume, licked his lips, "All you need is his fur can't I eat him?"
Beauty twisted her mouth in disgust," no, Darcia-sama wants him alive. In plus," she smiled showing her pearly white teeth. "There are people heading this way. We can have fun with them."
Love giggled girlishly.
Kiba could do nothing will Haku fought them.
It all happened so fast. She winked towards Haku, "Now you want him come and get him, Hahaha!"
All he could do was watch in horror as the humangi casted his transmutation circle.
The man took of his mask to reveal that he had a wolf's eye. "Humph... You see I know what you both are."
He proceed o vanish before their very eyes, but Kiba having been trained wasn't having it.
It was a game of tug the rope as Hige watched on. However, Kiba although managing to injury the noble could not get to Cheza. However, there was a disturbing factor that Darcia should have took the time to notice- Kiba was not perturbed in the slightest.
Kiba jumped from the rail of stairs. "Let's go," was all he said, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
They were down the tunnels when they heard Toboe in the distance. "Tsume injured… Help..."
Kiba nodded whilst Hige scratched his cheek absent-mindedly.
"So, this isn't so bad," Hige whistled as they entered the abandon lair.
Tsume growled, "Great just what I need," looking away from the approaching Kiba who stopped in front of him. "You're being stubborn," was the white wolf muttered before letting his hands glow a bright green hue.
Tsume growled, "It'll heal by nightfall there's-
"And the faster it is healed the sooner we can leave," Kiba countered and Toboe's and Hige's eyes widen.
"Kiba, what was that green energy?" Toboe asked his voice picking up a notch.
Kiba stood dusting his hands on his tor jeans. "Nothing, to important, I picked it up doing my travels."
"That's a very pretty white lie," Tsume growled testing his muscles, before standing up himself. "Where you learned it during your travels as well?"
"Aw, come on don't fight. Kiba probably just doesn't," Toboe started not wanting to see his new pack mates fight.
Alright then, let's introduce ourselves," Hige piped up with a grin.
Toboe happily agreed. "And, what you want to go crawl to the humans?"
Toboe lowed his head with sadden eyes.
"Toboe," Tsume tsked, and Hige blinked. Whilst Toboe's eyes widen once more, Kiba the mysterious stranger was ruffling his hair.
It wasn't even close to midnight and finally coming to a decision they jumped over the city walls just missing the herd of men.
"Aw... man," Hige whined as they traveled for three days. "So… hungry!"
Tsume growled.
"So what's paradise like?" Hige finally asked a question that didn't deal with food.
Kiba never really answered that question and for the next few days of their traveling it remained the same. However, one day they reached a city unfortunately, along in that city was a mech. The mech fired missing Toboe, shooting Tsume in the process.
'Kiba," Hige whispered as he spotted their other two companions. Kiba with a howl instantly took off into a dash throwing the machine off for a loop. His eyes flashed momentarily in remembrance.
The moon was red a scarlet crimson and houses were burning in the distance. However, in the heart of Konoha screams of battle reigned on with the enemy. He held his human siblings close as they begun to cry softly.
"Don't worry your both safe with, Aniki."
Yes indeed, but enemies had other plans and he had no choice, but to hide them both.
The machine now had its target. Kiba with years of training and instinct distracted the thing form Tsume and Toboe long enough for Hige to get them out; his white mane stood on end like needles as launched for the military machine.
A larger poisonous needle enters (the poison won't do much) - taking advantage it was time Kiba put an end to the thing. His mouth opened wide as he remembers the water jutsu clearly. Suiton: Bakusui Shōha (water style: Great water colliding waves).
A huge surge of water exploded and headed straight for the machine; Kiba knew that he needed act anymore and headed back towards his companions.
"You alright?" Hige asked worried.
"It's nothing," Kiba answered with his hands in his pockets.
"Though it was only for a moment," Toboe started looking away with a sadden expression. "I thought you guys would come …
"I didn't need your help," Tsume cut in looking over his shoulders at Kiba. He then stood limping slightly, but Toboe was quick in steading him. They walked on ahead and Kiba along with Hige follows.
Once again they traveled and once again they landed in a city however, this city was occupied by wolves and smelled of lunar flowers. Zali was the boss of the pack and wanted them out by the next morning however, that night Kiba decided to lighten up some after Cole, Zali's mate brought them some food for the night.
"Kiba," Toboe called seeing the tear-drop fang necklace. Tsume and Hige looked at it as well.
"It was given to me by my human mother." He glanced down at the blue necklace memories of the night he received it as a gift resurfaced.
"You're leaving haha..?"
Haku frowned as she walked over towards him and bended down to his level. She ruffled his hair. "Listen to me young one, I taught you the lesson of deception that still stands. However, if this place brings back those memories..." she paused; and her left hand open palmed forming around it was ice, pure ice. It took the shape of a tear-drop fang. "This will help alright. Just never take it off." Haku said with a motherly smile as she hooked it around his neck like a necklace.
Kiba examined it, it was indeed beautiful. "I have to go with Tsunade-san. Iruka –san will stay with you. Will you come down to meet him?" Haku asked as she titled her head a little. Kiba nodded and they headed down the stairs.
Tsume snorted. "That explains why you still have a human sent," although old it still was strong. "You were brought up like the kid. Don't tell me your searching for paradise is just a bunch of blasphemy?"
"Tsume- Toboe cried out, but it wasn't necessary.
"No, but it was given to me to keep the nightmares out."
"Huh..? Nightmares..?" Hige inquired.
Kiba nodded lying up. "I once lived in a town (it's the town were Haku and Zabuza found him) like this one here with my own pack. Lunar flowers bloomed here and there, but then one day that all changed." A dark look appeared over his features, before he closed his eyes. Remembering the sorcerers' and that being that was human yet, wasn't. They destroyed the small village and…killed his mother.
"Hey," Hige spoke awkwardly.
"That day … was the day I met my human mother. She saved me from my packs fate."
"Then," Toboe spoke softly. "She was a great woman-
"She's still alive along with family." He looked towards Toboe with a flicker n his eyes, "They would gladly welcome you, Toboe as well you both."
The group was silent after that revelation and they reflected on what Kiba revealed. The next morning the group didn't leave and in that afternoon trouble brewed. Moss's men caught Hige, but he was saved by his companions.
Traveling through the tunnel after putting away their differences with Zali, some days later they reached a mountain stronghold were Cheza lay.
Along the way after a few weeks of traveling from town to town they met Blue once more however, that meeting triggered many events.
"What- What is this place?" Toboe asked shakingly.
"Yeah," Hige agreed sniffing the air. "It reeks of death."
"The Forest of death," Kiba casually answered, carrying Cheza close to him. "Come on we need to find a way out."
Tsume tsked; Toboe nodded rushing up to follow Kiba and Hige sighed wishing he could see Blue again.
"I supposed the poison protects you along with mommy's necklace," Tsume scowled with distain towards Kiba who didn't answer.
Out of the forest and into a clearing of waters with the moon illuminating up above Cheza sings; flowing along gracefully as flowers began to bloom however, the brief paradise is forlornly interrupted by Darcia himself.
Kiba growled in frustration, but didn't follow immediately. "Dude, what gives?"
Kiba didn't answer going on his instinct and a memory. That memory quickly faded and he now knew what he wanted. "Let's go."
The keep is where they ended up and Darcia once again confronted them. More adventures followed the traveling wolves and Haku was worried.
Calloused hands gently wrapped around her waist pulling her into a broad chest. "You're worrying again," Zabuza stated.
"Can you blame me, Zabuza?"
Zabuza tightens his hold. He knew Haku worried for not only the little one, but Hazuki and Zuko as well. "No, not at all." He wouldn't admit, but he was worried as well and it didn't help that Rini didn't come back with any news; little did he know that the owl was going to come back, but it wouldn't be to deliver good news.
And, Haku who was in Konoha miles away from Kakashi who was nearer had a right to worry for Kiba, and his companions as they were in a jam. Toboe and Tsume are captured and locked up in a cell with a human by the name of Hubb. Once finally being able to escape the cells they meet up with Hige and Blue; Hubb sneezes on site.
"You're a wolf as well," he says taking out a handkerchief and blowing his nose.
Hige nods and together they go to search for Kiba and Cheza.
A blizzard of snow once more as it seemed to be the ideal weather they traveled in for months on end. Taking an abandoned car Quent sit in the back with Hige, Blue, Cher and Hubb sat in the front driving. Kiba tended to Quent's wounds while Cheza sat in the front with Toboe and Tsume.
"What is that wolf's magic?" Cher asked curiously.
"No," Kiba answers not taking his eyes away from the bleeding man. "Shit this isn't good I can't do too much."
"Huh," Tsume says annoyed. "I thought you said your mother was a renowned healer? Didn't you learn from her?"
"Tsume that wasn't a nice way too speak about Kiba's human mother;" Toboe states angrily.
"No, I never did say such a thing. You'd only assumed that," and he didn't get a chance to finish neither did Tsume manage to retaliate because they were being attacked by blast from the air.
The cargo was halted and they needed to abandon it however, Hubb eyes widen Cher! It was as if it was happening in slow motion. He ran, but he wouldn't make it.
Kiba placed down Cheza and held the man back. "She was... Kiba looked unaffected; "My fiancé. Cher-
"Unconscious, but alive," The group whirled around to see a man with gravity defying grey hair, mask covering the lower portion of his face, uniform and a …
"Kakashi," Kiba said in greeting.
Kakashi nodded, "Pup it's good to see you." He handed Cher to her fiancé. "Aniki!" Hige, Blue, Toboe and Hubb blinked, Cheza tilted her head cutely while Tsume just tsked muttering something about wasting time.
Kiba was on the ground blinking rapidly before it settled in. He stood up with each sibling clutching his pant leg. "Kakashi," Kakashi eye-smiled and placed his hands up in a peace gesture. "Mission changed."
"Hn," was his only answer and the Jōnin placed his hands down relieved. "Take them back home."
However; they were constantly attacked and forced to move forwards. Regrouping back together… Kiba tsked; "please tell me, Rini, or one of mothers snakes has been tailing you, Kakashi?"
Kakashi thought for a moment, before answering. "Yes, Rini -as if on Cue a shriek high up in the air sounded. The twins groaned and their teammate shuddered in fear, he was scared, but then this was a way to prove him-self, right?
They were almost there, but it was slow with a number of companions unable to keep up. The summit was nearing, nearing so very close. So, very, very…
"The journey ends," a voice growled dangerously it was a Darcia now a wolf. Wrenched growls filled the air and Tsume, Blue and Hige launch forward.
"Hehe, is that all you wolves are capable of?"
Tsume got up and launched again.
"Hazuki, Zuko, Hanatora stay behind and protect Kiba's friends." They nodded and soon stood in battle formation A while Kakashi charged forward.
It wasn't enough to defeat Darcia and Kiba launched from behind while the 'beast' swaps with a clawed paw towards Kakashi who dodged barely.
Darcia unaffected by Kiba's fangs is about to bite him, but the white wolf is thrown of the side with ice surrounding the area.
"What's going on?" the ice distracting Darcia. Kiba and the others regain consciousness.
"Where did this ice come from?" Hubb questions not expecting an answer from the young girl Hazuki. "I see."
Kiba realizes that the paradise that he has been searching for was always there right under his nose. "What is that?" Hige staggers as he's being helped by Blue.
"My mother's ice," Kiba answers just as Tsume, and Toboe arrived. Shock was evident, but the wolves say nothing.
With 21 mirrors surrounding him, Darcia had no way to escape, but there was no way he would leave without tearing this woman apart!
"You may have prolonged their deaths, but I WILL BE FREE!" Darcia hollered as he charged forward. Haku knew that animals were better at seeing her speed more so than the human eye and waited.
Mist started to surround the clearing, but Darcia paid no mind to it his thoughts on killing the one who dared to get in the way however, that was his downfall as a sword impaled him from below.
Haku's mirrors dropped and the earth cracked slightly as her companion wrenched him-self from the hidden mist.
Blood oozed as he pulled the blade from the wide eyed 'beast'. "Tch, what a waste and to think he was the one who was in charge of those damn sorceress's."
Kakashi landed beside them a blue electric energy surrounding his forearm. He impaled his hand and electricity smoked the creature for good.
Slowly Hubb followed the three children once the coast was clear just as Kiba stopped in front of the saviors. "Mother," he called softly.
He was engulfed in a hug," foolish pup."
Konohagakure …
They say there's no such place as Paradise. Even if you search to the ends of the earth, there's nothing there. No matter how far you walk, it's always the same road. A road that one would have to travel forever, until there is nothing remains however, despite all of that I search for paradise... because… a voice said, "Search for paradise."
However, I never really needed to listen because paradise ….
"Young one go on your friends are waiting."
Kiba nods smiling fondly at Haku who watched him off. Tsume snorts looking away, Toboe grins sheepishly, Blue and Hige smiling friendly, Quent grunted with his arms crossed, Hubb and Cher smiled with Cheza smiling towards him fondly.
Kiba walks towards them, "Brat," he turns over his shoulders to see Zabuza standing with his arms crossed. He nodded understanding Zabuza didn't need to say much. Two hands clenched each pant leg. "Come on brother, let's go!"
They all stood in the Uchiha District and Kiba now with the two siblings headed over towards his friends. In the background where Haku watched with Zabuza, Kakashi and the gang grinned and laughed merrily alongside Snape who looked as interested as a troll with Sirius and Lupin reminiscing about their youthful days across from him.
Paradise was always right in front of me, directly under my nose.
