piece of flesh they could grab. Fang looked around men and wolves to see a strange looking wolf versing a husky. Fang would come back to see the result of this but first he had to find Aniu. So he darted toward a staircase behind him and jumped over all the steps, landing on the floor with only the swish of his tail on the wood.

Aniu didnt have the strength to fight the man who was carrying her or his compainion so she waited for them to kill her. Aniu heared Fang's growl and whispered, "They finished me qiuckly.Fang also." then Aniu felt herself fall to the ground and opened her eyes. Fang was ripping apart the man who was carrying her. Aniu forced herself to get up and lunged pathetically at the other man. Aniu fell and saw the man pull out a small knife as he hovered over her. The man gave a cry and blood dripped down his neck, falling onto Aniu's white fur. Fang snapped the mans neck and came to stand by his mate, "Aniu..." was all he mumbeled as he dove his muzzle into her fur, "My Aniu." He felt Aniu's tears soak his neck. Suddenly the white wolf stilled and Fang looked up in confusion. Aniu looked like she was in a trance as she said, "Hachi... He-He's fighting Quincy and he's weak." Fang remebered the dog and wolf in the arena and toled Aniu to staywhere she was. Fang spun around and ran toward the arena.

Everywhere the black wolf looked there was blood, fangs, screams and guns. Fang lept over a dead wolf and continued on to the arena. Fang pulled the bolt back from its loose latch. It was a bad quality lock and was easy even for a pup to open since the gate was a little bigger then dog size. Fang pushed the gate open with his shoulder and walked calmly into the arena, comlpetely at home with the fighting and the threat of death. Fang snalred at the husky who had pinned the wolf- hachi, he geussed, and was ripping at his underbelly. The husky stepped off of Hachi, mouth dripping blood, "What do you want ferrel brat." Fang snalred in relpy, "Are you the one who attacked my mate?" The husky laughed, "No you should thanks Hachiko here," he pushed one paw onto Hachi's chest, "For that. I did however corner your precious mate, pin her to the ground and stick-" Fang knew what the husky was going to say and was enraged so he lept at the dogs throat and ripped a massive chunk of fur and skin off of his neck, leaving little skin left before the bone. Before Fang could get a good grip on it's neck the dog spun uder him the turned and jumped on Fang's back.

At the same time Aniu wondered what happened to the grey pup. She got up and went to Quincy's 'cage' to find it. In an actual cage next to Quincy's dog bed was the pup. Aniu opened the cage with her fangs and picked up the pup. She trotted out of the building, stumbling and bleeding which didnt surprise the other wolves considering what was happening, and let the pup go when she reached the forest. The pup's life was in the forests care now. Aniu walked back to the dredded building and collapsed at the entrance.

Fang struggled to get the dog off his back but to no success. Fang rolled on his back, dropping all of his weight onto the finer boned husky. The husky let go and Fang jumped on it, ripping at any flesh he could. Fang stoped and stood over the dog, "You will die in shame you pathetic dog, you have forever shamed your race." Fang snarled and the last thing the husky saw was white fangs flashing in his face and massive jaws with blood on them. Fang got off the wolf and licked his muzzle. Blood for blood, for Fang had no doubt that the dead dog had killed many of his brothers of the forest. Fang nudged Hachi who struggled to get up. Once the brown wolf was beside him Fang ran to find Aniu. He smelt she had left the building and followed her scent. He found her at the doors sleeping the sleep of the injured and exhausted so he left her and Hachi there to find Lyall. The she wolf was looking for someone and was running around asking wolves things. By now all the men were dead and the wolves and wolf-friendly dogs were talking happily or licking wounds with joy in their hearts. A brown wolf with piercings and a moehawk saw him pass by and wispered to a wolf beside him, "Battle Fang..." Fang was confused, had he got his name mixed up?

Lyall couldnt find her brother anywhere and was in panick. What if he had gotten killed? Lyall had asked others who had been in the dog fights if they had seen her brother but they all said it was every wolf or dog for himself in the fights and didnt know anything. She saw Fang approach her but she didn't hide her worry, "Hey. Whats wrong?" Lyall looked at him, he had only a few cuts and bites which surprised her for she would have thought Fang would do more fighting then anyone else, "Did you do any fighting?" she asked avoiding his question. Fang replied, "Of course. Walk with me." Fang started walking over to a white wolf who Lyall assumed was Aniu. Her heart missed a beat as she saw the brown wolf beside her, she didnt believe what she was seeing and could only whisper, "Hachi?" The brown wolf raised his head exhausted then his eyes widened and a weak grin broke out on his face, "Lyall.." Lyall ran up to her brother and licked his face, "My brother..."Fang layed down next to Aniu and watched Lyall and Hachi engulf themselves in sibling love. Fang licked Aniu's ear as she had woken up when Fang and Lyall approached. Many other wolves had gained back their friends and family.

Fang and Aniu were at Lyall's den when Hachi and Lyall cam to say goodbye to Fang and Aniu. Many of the wolves and dogs who had seen Fang fight and his devotion to saving Aniu had started legends about how Battle Fang had fought for his mate, and how he and Aniu would be together even after death. Lyall came up to Battle Fang and looked him in the eye, tears threatening, "Why must you go? You could become a pack member." Fang answered, "Aniu and i want to travel Lyall, we want to be free and mabe even start our own pack." Fang looked at his mate and smiled. At the same time Hachi was saying preety much the same thing to Aniu. Aniu licked Hachiko and smiled, "We will visit, especialy since were going to move around allot. If we do settle in one spot we will still visit." Hachi and Fang said their goodbyes to one another, Lyall and Aniu did the same.

Battle Fang and Aniu trotted into the cave beside the cliff. It had been their den for about a month now.The two wolves had been travelling for a year or so by now. Aniu moved closer to Fang, she was in season but somehow Fang hadn't noticed. She licked his ear and he looked at her then licked her back. Fangs world became all white and thats all he thought about for some time that night. This went on for about a week until Aniu started sleeping more and more. She needed more food too. Battle Fang had no idea she was pregnant he thought she was just temporarily sick. Aniu knew better of course. When Aniu saw Fang's confused look at her large stomach she asked, "Fang, do you know whats happening to me? What you will be." Fang shook his head so Aniu sat up, "I'm.... pregnant Fang. Your going to be a dad." Fang was shocked, he hadn't thought about pups at all.

Fang looked at the one white pup, unsure what to do. It yelped and his ears pricked higher. He dropped his head to the pup and touched its nose with his. Aniu was glowing with pride and she nuzzled first the pup, then Battle Fang, "What will we name it?" she asked. Fang thought for a minute then replied, "Isis." Aniu liked the name but she still had to ask, "Why Isis?" Fang looked at the pup as he replied, "Isis is the greatest female god in the egyption mythology. She is the daughter of my god and is a god herself." Aniu smiled down at Isis as she sat in the cave.

Fang carried Isis in his jaws as he and Aniu papped along to find a new place to stay for awhile. Suddenly Aniu stopped, mid-step, and sniffed the air. Aniu's heart rate sped, "Humans and dogs. We have to run!" Aniu and Fang bounded away like whosts as if they had never been there. The only proof that the had been was their scent. Dogs howled and fought to get a sniff at the wolves scents. The continued on when they were ready. The two wolves began climbing up rocks. Fang slipped on a loose one and fell back onto the ground while trying to keep Isis from getting hurt. Aniu spun around and saw the dogs bound toward her mate. She ran down to the rocks to land beside him and snalred at the dogs, "Aniu, go, take Isis." Aniu shouted straight away, "NO! I wont leave you Fang." Fang put the pup between his paws and growled at the infurianting, yapping hounds and beagles. They were starting to sirround Aniu. Fang barked at the dogs then picked up Isis and ran, trying to get them away from Aniu.

Aniu saw most of the dogs go. While she was looking after Fang as he ran a hound lept at her and grabbed her throat. Aniu flung him off but more dogs lunged at her. Aniu was brought down by their weight. The dogs cleared and Aniu found herself looking into the barrel of a gun.

Fang heard the gunshots and his heart missed a beat. A piercing whistle came to his ears and the dogs ran away. Fang turned and went back to where he had seen Aniu last. He howled at her but Aniu didn't stir. Tears streaked his face. He turned and ran to find a safe place. Fang ran for the rest of the afternoon and through the night. He stopped when he found another cave near a waterfall. He put down Isis and howled, and howled. He stopped and curled up around his pup. When his sorrow had only ended a short time ago, it had come straight
