A Wolf's Cry

 

Chapter Fourteen- Confession

 

 

She was standing at arms length away from him, unmoving. It felt like it took forever to get to where ever they were now. They had traveled deep into the wooded forest and it was almost pitch black, but the little lightning bugs that were everywhere provided some light. It was also far enough away from Hojo so that if someone screamed at the top of his or her lungs, he wouldn't be able to hear it.

 

Kiba wore an aggravated look and Kagome knew he was contemplating on what to ask her. No doubt he would ask about Hojo… He did have a right to though, since he was practically the pack leader.

 

She didn't flinch when Kiba finally gave her his full attention.

 

 

“What were you thinking?” he asked, “He could have killed you!”

 

A thick cloud of tension settled upon them, almost chokingly. Swallowing the lump in her throat she narrowed her eyes, giving him a stern look. “He would never try to kill me for your information!” Her hands fisted.

 

Kiba's face turned to an angry yet shocked expression at her statement. “And just how do you know?”

 

“Because I knew him in High School!” Kagome was getting more frustrated with every question he asked and also found herself rising in volume.

 

“High School? I've never heard of this `High School' but you haven't been to this `High School' in a while now, so how do you know he hasn't changed?” Kiba barked out. He never though Kagome to make an idiotic decision, but now he would have to think twice.

 

“Because…” her voice trailed off.

 

Placing an iron like grip on her shoulders, Kiba shook his head before turning his burning eyes back on Kagome. “That's right, you don't know! Did you notice he reeked of blood and gunpowder? Or were you just too busy catching up on old times with each other to notice?”

 

Kagome gasped, her eyes widening.

 

Hojo…the sweet, kind boy that used to ask her out on dates, who couldn't hurt a fly more importantly, had the scent of blood on him? That would have been ridiculous to think that of him back then…but he was a soldier now and…he could have…

 

Tears started to well up in her eyes' as Kagome's vision got blurry. She hiccupped and was suddenly pulled into an embrace, strong arms wrapping around her. Kiba sighed as he kept one arm around Kagome's back while the other traveled up to tangle in her hair.

 

“People change Kagome. And with the scent that he reeked, he was a soldier. Soldiers that reek of as much blood as he did are most likely in the organization that are after wolves and that includes you, me and ever Toboe.”

 

He heard her gasp again but at the sound of Toboe's name and held her to him more closely, if that were even possible.

 

“Do you really think he would have thought twice about killing you if you weren't hidden behind your disguise? Do you even think he would have recognized you if you weren't? All I know is that at the moment you can only trust the pack that you travel with and not anyone or anything else. You could have been seriously injured today and we don't want something like this to happen again…so please just listen to me.”

 

Softly pulling back away from her he looked into her eyes. When he saw the tears that were streaming down her face, he brought his thumb up to wipe them away.

 

 

Kagome's heart was beating rapidly in her chest. She had never been this close to Kiba since the incident she had almost died on the cliff. Her fingers itched to hold him to her but she somehow refrained.

 

Their gazes were transfixed with one another's and they didn't move and inch. Savoring the quiet moment they shared between just the two of them.

 

Pulling her against his chest again, Kiba held her tightly before whispering in her ear, “I will protect you Kagome.”

 

She swore she could have died in that instant with happiness.

 

Ever so slowly she brought her hands up around his back and hugged him back tightly before letting herself cry into his chest. At that moment she realized that even though he would risk his life for Cheza, he would also do it for her. It meant that he did hold her dear to his heart.

 

And by god did she wish it were true.

 

They stood there, enjoying the intimacy before their embrace was broken as Kiba stepped away from her. She looked questioningly at his back and almost jumped when Tsume came out of nowhere, landing in a crouch before them.

 

“I though I'd check up on you two love birds and tell you we should be leaving soon. We don't know when those humans will be back,” said Tsume, standing up while crossing his arms over his chest, waiting for Kiba to answer.

 

“We'll leave at dawn,” said the white wolf, emotionlessly before turning to Kagome, “Come on lets go.”

 

And with that the three turned and disappeared into the forest.
