Aloha everybody! I want to thank everyone who reviewed chapter 4 of Pack Born!

...Well...There's not much for me to say at this point...soo..

ON WITH THE SHOW! 3 :3

~Pack Born~

The field was absolutely breath-taking. Thanks to the soft glow the moon emitted, the grass and plants seemed to sparkle. A gentle breeze fluttered through and the flowers and grass swayed in harmony with it, sending a calming aroma around the field.

"So beautiful..." I mumbled.

"Yeah." Bankotsu and Suikotsu both replied at the same time.

"I'm going to talk to Sho." I told them before I turned toward the human. Concentrating on the words once again, I began to talk to Sho.

"These are the plants you're looking for, yes?"

"Yes," He nodded, a look of pure joy on his face, "They are. Thank you so much Kagome-chan."

"Don't mention it." I smiled, "Go get as much as you need. We will wait for you hear at the border and watch over you. You are safe with us." With a slight bow to us, he took out a strange leather item and ran to the field, bending down and inspecting each flower, plucking one from the ground when he found it to be suitable and putting it in the leather object. He looked so innocent and happy, happy that his master will be able to live another day. I shudder at the sudden thought of his scavenged dead body if we hadn't gotten to him in time. I went and sat down next to the two brothers, losing my concentration for the human language to talk to them.

"I still don't like him." Bankotsu commented randomly, still watching Sho go around and pick the plants.

"You don't have to like him." Suikotsu told his little brother with a slightly sarcastic tone.

"You just have to tolerate him." I added in.

"Right." He mumbled, laying down and resting his head on his paws.

"You know," I started, "We could stay here. We know there's food and water here, plus, a small cave a mile from here."

"We can't." Bankotsu answered sadly.

"Why not?" I huffed.

"Your father's pack come here to gather the healing plant every so often. We would run into them and I for one would rather not fight them." Oh. Right. My father. How could I have forgotten? I wouldn't want to get into a fight with them either.

"Hey," Suikotsu nudged my shoulder with his own, "What did I tell you?"

"'Don't worry about it.'" I quoted . He nodded his head in approval.

"Good. Just remember that." Bankotsu then let out a heavy groan.

"Is he done yet? Its taking forever!"

"Why the rush? Do you have somewhere to go?" I teased, laughing as he stumbled over his words.

"N-no! I-I just think we should really get the pup home is all!"

"Sure thing Bank. I'll go ask if he's ready to go." and I stood up and padded my way over to Sho, who was now inspecting two plants before smiling and putting them both in his container.

"Sho," I called in human tongue, "are you ready to depart?" he looked up at me, startled by my sudden speech, but them smiled widely.

"Yes! I got enough to make a whole gallon of tea!" he responded cheerfully with his arms spread wide to show me that it was a lot.

"That's great, then let's get going. Where is your master?" I asked.

"Mmm! We live in the Utsukushii village!" Sho pointed slightly to his left, "If I'm right, it should be that way..."

"Should be?"

"The flowers are supposed to be to the right of the village, and since we are at the field of the flowers, then we should be able to go back by going left."

"But you strayed from the path when the other wolves came didn't you?" his silence was answer enough for me, "Right, so well just follow the path of your scent until we reach the village."

I turned to the guys and spoke to them.

"Alright guys, we're going to follow Sho's scent and take him back home!" I cheered.

"Sure." they both said at the same time. We all got near Sho and sniffed at him, he seemed at first but gradually relaxed. Sho's scent wasn't as bad as I expected. He smelled of grass and kinds of trees and herbs, then there was the light scent of gunpowder. It was the scent that tainted all humans, even the pups it would seem. Once we had the smell, we followed it towards the village. The travel didn't take too long, about 30 minuets. We would have gotten there faster if we kept walking continuously, but Sho had to stop every once in a while to rest or to relieve himself. As we moved closer and closer to the human village, their stench and the smell of gunpowder became stronger, almost burning my nose, before we knew it, the village was within our sights. Before I could say anything, Sho gave out a shout of excitement and started running to the village. While he was running, he looked back at us and waved.

"Stay there, I'll be right back!" and he turned back around and ran to his home at full speed.

"Sho! Wait!" but he was too far ahead to hear my cries.

I have never seen so many humans before in my life. Sure, I would occasionally catch glimpses of them in our territory, but they were easily taken care of. This, this was just too much. They walked everywhere, small ones and big ones alike, mostly in groups but there were some that walked alone. What I assumed to be their homes were scattered everywhere, they looked large and solid. I took a few steps back and crouched lower into the grass and bushes, if any of them saw us, that would definitely mean trouble for us, Bankotsu and Suikotsu followed suit.

"Let's go guys, I don't like the looks of this." Bankotsu whispered cautiously.

"I agree. I have never seem so many of them gathered in once place before." Suikotsu added, voicing my earlier thoughts.

"He told us to wait here." I said automatically.

"Yeah, wait until he comes back with other humans. Humans with guns and fire," Bankotsu looked behind him, "We should go. Now."

"He told us to wait here" I repeated.

"We wait, we die." Bankotsu retorted.

"No. He wouldn't betray us like that. He trusted us to take him home, and know I'm going to trust him." I said, not taking my eyes off the village.

"Is that really a wise decision?" Suikotsu asked.

"You guys can go if you want to. If your really that scared. I'm waiting." Bankotsu snorted at my remark.

"Your so stubborn, and I'm not afraid of no humans."

"Alright Kagome. You win, we'll wait here with you. It's now like we have something more important to do." Suikotsu sighed and laid down in the bushes, Bankotsu turned around and laid on his back next to him. I sat in between two bushes, keeping out of sight but still keeping my eye on the village. After what seemed like hours, we heard a crunch from behind us. Instantly, we were on our feet.

"Is that him?" Bankotsu asked.

"No," I answered, "He would have come back the same way he left. Plus, that sounded to heavy for it to be him."

"Great. See! I told you that the humans would come!" Bankotsu growled.

"No!" I snarled back at him.

"Quiet!" barked Suikotsu, "Listen." and sure enough, we heard a couple more footsteps before a dark figure appeared in front of us with a gun in his hands that was pointed straight at me.

Yay for cliffhangers!

Thanks for reading and I you enjoyed!
