A Wolf's Cry

Chapter Five - Wolf

"Paradise?" Kagome questioned. Kiba nodded his head. "Yes, Paradise."

Toboe came and sat in front of Kiba and Kagome. "Yup, that's where were headed!" Toboe said happily. Kagome turned and looked at him curiously. "I've never heard of a place like that. Why are you going there anyway?"

Hige crawled over to them and sat down next to Toboe. "We are going for the women!"

Toboe and Kagome both began to laugh as a long grin appeared on Hige's face. Tsume and Kiba however, both sighed and shook their heads. "He may go for the women but," Kiba spoke, "the rest of us go to be free, away from humans and this place. Paradise is a place where everything stays green and lively. There's always clear blue water there and food that could last you until you die. Each of us have other reasons of going also but when you narrow it down, it's for one reason, to have your greatest desire fulfilled."

Kagome listened carefully as Kiba spoke. "It sounds like a beautiful place. But I still don't get one thing, how can I be a wolf? I mean you cant be one so how would you know, unless?" Then the argument she had with Tsume came back to her. He had practically said he was a wolf and he told her bluntly that she was one but…

"Are you a wolf? Wait, they've been extinct for hundreds of years, so you cant be…" Kagome let her voice trail off with the last word. `I can't be, Inuyasha would have noticed but-' Kiba silenced her thoughts as he began to speak again. "Yes we are all wolves here but we wont hurt you so you don't have to worry about that." Kagome tensed in his arms. "How do I know you wont hurt me?" she asked. "We would have already done that if we wanted to." Kiba answered and continued. "We have been able to survive this whole time by disguising ourselves as humans, we were never extinct." He paused for a minute before continuing. "I can smell you a wolf just as much as anyone else that's not human can. You might not have known because, like I said before, you could have been shielded from it by your family or there could be something hiding your true form."

Kagome pushed herself out of Kiba's grasp and slowly stood up, holding onto her injured arm. "This isn't right, I…I cant be a demon."

The old man Kagome had forgotten about found his way to his feet and stood up, hands in his coat pocket. "There is a difference between wolves and demons. Demons are an ancient evil that have immense strength and unnatural power. Wolves are the same as you might see them out you front door, but some have the special ability to disguise them as humans. They don't have any unnatural power. Demons have been dead or non-existing for a very long time. There aren't any around anymore so there is no chance of you being a demon."

`At least that's good to know' Kagome thought. "Hey, its not that bad being a wolf Kagome! You'll like it, I guess its pretty cool" said Toboe. Kagome smiled down at him. "Alright Toboe I trust you." Kagome told him and sat down again. "Now," the old man began, "had there been anything strange that has happened to you?"

Kagome put her finger to her lips and though for a few moments. "I remember smelling the scent of flowers once, it had been around for a while but then it suddenly disappeared. Only a faint smell of it was left. I had asked my friends if they had smelt it at all and they all said they hadn't. I know that sounds weird but does that have anything to do with a wolf?" If it did Kagome was ready to hear it.

It made Kagome both scared and love the fact that she could be a wolf but whatever it came out to be, she would always stay the Kagome she was now. At least she hoped that.

Kagome watched as there eyes widened. `Here it comes' Kagome thought. A smile appeared on all of there lips. "Yes. That is perfect evidence that you are a wolf. You see, only wolves can smell the flower maiden while humans cant because their noses are not as developed as ours are. Cheza, the flower maiden, was made of Lunar Flowers, which is a rare kind of flower that is not found here anymore. That must have been the scent that you picked up. Cheza had been stolen and taken away so her scent did disappear somewhat and now we have to find her because she will help us find Paradise." Kiba said and continued. "Then you told us before about the old man with the wolf. That wolf only attacks other wolves, and you said that it attacked you, that is another reason."

Kagome realized that they were right and it made perfect sense but why hadn't Inuyasha known? She glanced at the bracelet around her wrist, catching everyone's attention.

"Hey what is that?" Hige asked, moving over to Kagome to get a good look at it. She smiled at it. "My mother gave it to me when I was very young but the strange thing was that she told me to never take it off and she was serious about it. The truth is that I took it off a few times but I mostly kept it on."

Toboe held her wrist in his hand gently and was inspecting it carefully. "Hey guys! This could be what's holding her wolf form!" he said happily. Kagome looked down at him. "Do you really think so?" Toboe nodded his head rapidly. "Take it off, maybe I'm right!"

Kagome did as she was told and took the bracelet off but nothing happened. Toboe looked sadly at her. "I guess I was wrong Kagome I-" he was cut off by Kiba.

"No Toboe I think your right, her scent suddenly got stronger. Kagome, you need to believe you a wolf for it to work."

`So Inuyasha never knew because I always had this bracelet on and maybe only wolves could smell it even though I had the bracelet on. That's probably why Kouga liked me so much' thought Kagome as she closed her eyes and cleared her mind, only thinking of wolves.

She saw herself looking at a black wolf with deep blue eyes. It was beautiful but it disappeared right when she opened her eyes. `Did it work?' she thought and stared at both Hige and Toboe who were right in her face. `I don't feel different' she thought and looked down at her hands…paws? Paws?!

`Oh my dear god' Kagome thought and fainted.
