A Wolf's Journey

She started laughing and backed up, her tail wagging around happily.

Kiba's tail was wagging happily too as he backed her into a courner and tickled her more. This was the most fun he has had in a long time, it was like the times he used to have with his pups.

She kept laughing and nipped at him, its times like this that reminded her of her old family. She blew a patch of long fur out of her purple eyes and smiled.

"I have to tell you, this is the most fun I have had for a while!" Kiba smiles and playfully nudges her before sitting down.

"See, your feeling better," she said and sat down looking up at him, "Hey do ya know any tricks or stuff from traveling?" she asked as her tail wrapped securly around her.

"Well I have picked up a lot of tips and tricks, but what do you want to know?"

"How not to get lost," she said quietly, getting lost was the one thing was super good at, and it got her into many troubles.

"Sure I can teach you that, but it requires some work. But I will teach you, young one" He smiles at her as he lays down and curls his tail around him to keep warm.

"Hurray," She cheered and ran in circles almost hitting the wall, she layed down and looked around the smal cave, it seemed pretty cozy to her.

Kiba snuggles into a ball, trying to stay warm. "I have to tell you, you remind me of my oldest pup. She was very entergetic and always wanted to play and learn from me. Being with you is somewhat of a comfort" He smiles.

"I guess thats a good thing, huh," she said softly yawning, closing her eyes, but still listening.

Kiba stands and lays next to Ria. He feels very close to her, almost like a father would with his daughter. He snuggles in close to her and puts his tail around her to keep her warm, and also to protect her.

She felt his and looked at him, curled up and fell asleep feeling very safe with him.

He smiles as he falls asleep also, protecting her. He dreams that he was young again and that she was his daughter, but then the nightmare starts. They are playing out in the feild when the hunters come. The both try to run but the humans cut them off, so Kiba lunges at them but he gets knocked to the side and hits a tree. He then watches in agony as the hunter picks up his kneif to kill her...Then he suddenly wakes up.

Ria shifted snuggling closer to him as he woke up, her breathing was steady and even, while outside the calming the noises of night sounded.

He looks around quickly to see where he is. He then just hears the quiet sounds on night and her breathing and calms down. He whines scilently as he lay back down, the dream still haunting him.

Rias legs started moving fast like she was chasing something in her dreams, faster and faster until one of her legs went far to the slide she slipped. In her dream she was trying to catch the rabit from earlier but instead found Kiba.

Morning arrives and the sun peeks through the cave opening and shines on the two wolves sleeping together. The shine wakes up Kiba and he looks over to see Ria still asleep, so he lays his head down trying not to move and disturb her.

Rias noze twitched around smelling the sweet morning dew in the air, she woke up and looked around remembering last nights events and stretched out. Walking over to the mouth of the cave she peered out looking for any easy preys.

Kiba gets up also, but is much slower than she is in the morning. he is hungry also and tries to find some prey.

Ria spots a rabbit and bolts for it, running quickly thourgh the brush after it her tail the last thing to be seen as she chases after it fast.

Kiba sits by the cave opening, waiting for her to return

Ria returned a few minutes later, carrying the still kicking rabbit by its neck, her fur was ruffled and covered in snow and some water, but she was smiling still. She slipped into the cave and put her paw down on the rabbits hind end then snapped its neck quickly to let it die fast with no pains.

"Impressive, you made that kill quickly. Your pretty good at this" I sit there and smile at you.

She smiled back, "This is nothing, its the easiest animal I can catch," nudging the rabbit over to him inviting him to eat, she licked her paws free off the freezing water.
