My Paradise (Wolf's Rain Fan-Fic)

Chapter 30

Tsume sits back down. "His tail wags whenever there's a girl around. Just let him go." Tsume says looking at me. I shrug. "When we were back in that city, she found out she was half wolf, Cheza told her." Kiba says. "Half wolf?" Toboe asks. "That side of her must have woken up after meeting Cheza." Kiba says. "Cheza...I wonder what she's doing, you think she's okay?" Toboe asks sadly. I sigh.

Hige's P.O.V.

"Wait up will ya?" I call to Blue. "You should go back. You're friends are gonna leave you behind." she says. "That's okay, life's pretty boring when it's just a bunch of guys." I say. "What about...the she-wolf with you guys?" she asks. I laugh. "Yuna's alright and all but, she's...well, what I'm trying to say is, she's a pain in the--" her laughter cuts me off. I smile joyfully. I love her laugh. "What's so funny?" I ask. She stops laughing,looks at me, and shakes her head.

Yuna's P.O.V.

"I wonder where Hige ran off too..." Toboe says. "Once he gets dumped, he'll come sulking back." Tsume says. He was laying down and I was sitting next to Toboe. He finally let my wrist go. "That means he'll be seeking Yuna's love and comfort again." Kiba teases. "God I hope not." I say resting my head on my hand. Kiba and the others chuckle. "I'm gonna go look around for him, you guys rest up here, until I get back." Toboe says, before any of us could stop him, he was gone. "That's the same crest as the one in the castle where Cheza was held." Kiba says randomly. I look towards him. "Huh?" I ask. "This area is still part of that Noble's territory." Tsume says. "The curse of the house of Darcia huh?" Kiba asks. "What?" Tsume asks. "That's what the guy said back there when he saw us." Kiba says. "A curse huh?" I ask myself, feeling a twinge of hurt. I hear Tsume let out a sigh. "Humans have always seen wolves that way. That's why they're so scared of us." Tsume says. "Why though? They were the ones who up and attacked us 500 years ago, we were just minding our own business, and they nearly wiped us off the face of the earth." I say. "Who knows...why didn't you let them have it back there? I would've expected you to jump at the chance to rip those humans to pieces. It's not because of your injuries is it." Tsume says knowing the answer already. "Even if we had killed them, I doubt they would've tasted very good." Kiba says. "Can't argue with that." Tsume says with a small chuckle. I stand, walk to a ledge, and sit down.

Tsume's P.O.V.

"Am I the only one who has noticed Yuna's been acting...different, since Cheza was taken?" Kiba mumbles so only I could hear. "No, I've noticed it too." I say. "Any idea why?" he asks. "Just one." I say. "What's that?" he asks curious. "She blames herself." I say, stand, and walk towards her. "I thought you'd say that..." Kiba says to himself. After I reach her, I stop, and look at her. She was hugging her knees to herself and resting her head on top of them. Her eyes were some-what narrowed in a look of sadness and I swear there was a glimmer of tears in her eyes. What is she thinking about? I go to speak but she beats me to it. "Instead of creepily standing behind me, just sit somewhere. I won't bite you." She says with a sigh. I smirk and sit a few inches away from her. I stay silent. She sighs again. "If you want to know something, just ask." she says. "What makes you think that I do?" I ask. She scoffs and turns her head to the side so she can look at me. "Why else would you come over here?" she asks. I smirk slightly. "Point taken." I say. "Do I have to force it out of you?" she asks. I chuckle slightly. "Someone's pushy." I say, knowing very well I was annoying her. "Tsume." she warns. "Fine, why are you blaming yourself for Cheza's abduction? It wasn't your fault." I say. Her eyes widen and she looks at me. "How did you..." she trails off. "Nevermind that, just answer the question." I say. She wanted me to ask, now she has to deal with whatever is thrown at her. She sighs after a while. "It was my fault. I didn't try hard enough and now she's gone. Simple as that." she says. "No it wasn't your fault, you fought more than any of us did, you nearly got yourself killed in the process, so stop blaming yourself." I say. The tears show up again and she looks away. "If I hadn't listened to her, if I had gotten back up, I woul--" I cut her off. "You would have died. There was nothing you could do, nothing any of us could do." I say. "You're wrong!" she yells. "No I'm not Yuna, you are!" I say, angry that she was blaming herself. She says nothing. "Seriously Yuna, I will tell you the exact thing you had told me. You knew you wouldn't make it if you continued fighting, you would have died, and Cheza would've still been taken. So stop blaming yourself, alright?" I say. "I'm not afraid to die. Especially not if it means I protected the people I care about." she says. I sigh. "Yea, I know you aren't. You've made that very clear." I say and look at the sky. She hugs her knees to her chest again. "Why did that Noble take her in the first place? What does he want with her?" She thinks out loud. "Who knows." I say with a Sigh. "We're getting her back...right?" She asks. ""Of course we are." I say. "Good." She says. I look towards her. Her hair is blown around by the wind. What is it about you...
