A Wolf's Cry

 

Chapter Eleven-Rescue

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Kagome! Kagome what's wrong?” Kiba asked desperately as he held her. She was thrashing in his grasp, screaming for him to let go of her. What the hell had gotten her frightened of him?

 

 

 

 

“What's wrong?” he asked again, tightening his arms around her; regretting his actions when she flinched away. “It's me, Kiba,” he stated calmly, gently grabbing her chin to look at him.

 

 

 

 

The feel of a gentle touch wiping away a tear brought Kagome out of her haze, bringing her screams to a stop. Slowly opening her puffy red eyes, she looked at just who was holding her.

 

 

 

 

Burying her face in Kiba's chest she managed to whimper out, “K-Kiba?”

 

 

 

 

“Yes?” came his gentle reply.

 

 

 

“It really is y-you,” the female wolf said between hiccups as she leaned her head back to look at him.

 

 

Letting his grip loosen slightly, but not enough for her to escape, he gazed into her eyes and saw the frightened look she gave him. “What happened?”

 

 

 

 

She released a sigh and wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her head in the juncture where his neck and shoulder met. “It was a golden eye,” she said, taking in the scent of Kiba once again to try and comfort her. He smelt of forest and of Cheza, which oddly frustrated her.

 

 

 

 

She knew she shouldn't be jealous; Cheza was just a flower after all, but it seemed that the flower maiden was getting all the attention from Kiba. Kagome sighed. What's wrong with me? This jealousy was getting ridiculous; Cheza was the key to getting to paradise, not she. Her eyes closed as she let her body relax in his embrace.

 

 

 

 

“Everything is going to be okay now,” Kiba whispered against her ear before heading back to shore. As he set her down, he grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her shivering form. It was getting late and soon the temperature would fall.

 

 

 

 

He watched her teeth start to chatter as she said a quick `thank you' and brought the towel closer to her form. His lips spread into a small grin as he maneuvered himself so that he was sitting down, back against a tree with Kagome situated between his legs. He slowly brought his arms around her shoulders, pulling her gently back against his chest. He chuckled when she let out a small shriek, obviously not knowing what he was going to do, or that he was probably behind her even.

 

 

 

 

“Just relax,” he whispered huskily in her ear, sending shivers down her spine. She looked up at him and studied his face. His eyes were closed as he was resting calmly. There was only one word to describe him. Beautiful. From far away he looked absolutely handsome, but when someone was this close, he looked like a god.

 

 

 

 

“You know, with all that staring, you could probably have fallen asleep by now.”

 

 

 

 

She jumped slightly at his voice. He looked so calm and peaceful; Kagome figured he had already fallen asleep. She blushed prettily when he cracked open an eye to gaze down at her.

 

 

 

 

“Sorry…” she whispered gently back, looking away. He smiled down at her, catching the faint redness in her cheeks before closing his eyes once again and relaxed against the tree.

 

 

 

 

Kagome let out a sigh of contempt. She just had to go and blush like a total idiot the minute he looked at her. Grr.. Why did Kiba, of all people, have to come and save her? Why couldn't Toboe or even Hige come? Why didn't he stay and watch over Cheza? A low rumble emitted from Kiba's chest suddenly. Oddly enough it calmed her and she released the tension in her body that she had building up. She pondered her thoughts and gazed up into the night sky.

 

 

 

 

A smile found its way to Kagome's lips as realization hit her. Kiba must have feelings for her somehow or he wouldn't have rescued her and probably wouldn't even be holding her as gently as he was right now and at the same time, keeping her safe.

 

 

 

 

Maybe there was a speck of hope. Even if it was a just little.

“What's taking them so long?” Toboe asked worriedly, “Maybe I should-“

 

 

 

 

“No. They will come back once Kiba and Kagome are ready. If they aren't back before morning then we will go looking for them,” Tsume said briskly, cutting Toboe off.

 

 

 

 

The rusted colored wolf's eyes blinked a few times. “Are you sure Tsume?”

 

 

 

 

 

Tsume didn't turn towards him but rather sat down near the fire. “I don't think anything will happen to Kagome if Kiba is there with her.”

 

 

 

 

Toboe's gaze fell to the ground as his hands fisted. “But what if he hasn't found her?” What if a bear or something ate her? Or maybe more of those soldiers found her and shot her? If anything happened to Kagome, he swore to himself he would rip Tsume's ears off…

 

 

 

 

…Or at least try to.

 

 

 

 

He turned to Tsume and was met with an icy glare. “It's been three hours since Kiba left runt, so I think he was able to find her. Why do you miss her so much anyway? She your girlfriend?”

 

 

 

 

The blunt statement made Toboe blush. “N-no. I'm just looking out for my friend safety is all!”

 

 

 

The gray wolf raised an eyebrow. “So acting like her over protective mate is `looking out for your friends safety' is all?” There was a bit of sarcasm in his voice.

 

 

 

 

The young wolf growled, “Well why aren't you worried about her? You're the one who practically scared her off!”

 

 

 

 

A deep growl came from the other wolf. “Why you!”

 

 

 

 

“Would you both shut up, I'm trying to get some sleep!” yawned Hige as he rubbed his eyes and stretched his arms. His eyes darted from one wolf to the other before searching the campgrounds for the other pack mates that had left shortly before he had fallen asleep. “Hey, where are Kiba and Kagome?” he asked, fully awake and looking at the two growling wolves that looked like they would kill each other.

 

 

 

 

“They left a few hours ago and still aren't back,” growled Tsume, not looking at Hige but rather keeping the staring contest going with Toboe.

 

 

 

 

“Well don't you think we should go looking for them?”

 

 

 

“No!” they both shouted at once, causing Hige to jump.

 

 

 

 

“Damn, you didn't have to yell! And can you both be quiet, someone might hear you!”

 

 

 

 

His answer was met with a beautiful humming sound that was slowly making him drowsy.

 

 

 

 

“What the…” his eyes fell on Cheza as she was basking in the moonlight, humming a very pleasant tune.

 

 

 

 

“This one will help you sleep,” she said happily before continuing to hum. The growls seemed to quiet down every few seconds until all the wolves fell asleep once again.
