[~*Dream*~]

Riatha lifted her head and looked out at the scene. It was amusing, the packs brawl -- this Alpha didn't have a clue. Sure, she could've helped, but it wasn't worth the energy that would be lost.

Sagina hesitated, but only for a moment. She sprung at Hougen, ramming into his side so as to knock him off of Ryo.

[/size][/color]

Riatha yawned and stretched, getting up and springing to the ground. She trotted over and watched calmly, "Well well, it seems like your pack has rebelled against you, Hougen." she said, grinning.

[Night]

"All because of my pups death that wasn't my fault," Hougen said, only taking a step as he felt a body ram into him. He looked at the wolf. "Sagina, really now? You're honestly going to try that?" he asked, biting at the young she-wolf.

Kiba gasped and ran at Hougen. He leaped, but was knocked away by Hougen's back paw.

Genba sat there, watching. He didn't know whose side to take in this.

Alue looked up, watching the fight. She got up slowly and looked around.

Roshi got up and bounded over, only to be stopped by Alue who had grabbed onto his scruff.

[~*Dream*~]

Sagina snarled, feeling a nip on her shoulder. But she hardly took notice, and jumped at Hougen's neck, snapping to pull at his scruff and pull him down.

[/size][/color]

Riatha waited a moment more, before her fur bristled and she growled lowly -- she wanted in on this. She ran towards Hougen, not jumping so that she wasn't knocked away as Kiba had been. She opened her jaws with the hopes of biting his leg -- possibly crushing the bone. He may have been strong, but he couldn't beat them both -- no matter how bad of a fighter Sagina could have been. Riatha was fast and strong. Riatha was skilled.

[/size][/color]

[Night]

Hougen moved his leg, but felt something grab ahold of his scruff. He backed off and shook his pelt, hoping to send Sagina off of him.

Kiba got up. He grabbed Ryo's scruff and picked her up. "I'm gonna take you someplace safe, okay? You'll be okay, I promise," he said quietly.

Ryo was breathing heavily. She looked at Kiba and smiled. "Don't bother. Get Sagina, Roshi, and Alue away from him. I'll be fine," she said.

Alue picked up Roshi and felt him kicking at her. She ignored it and bounded into the forest after the other pup.

Genba got up and grabbed Sagina. "Okay, let him be! Let him be! Just let him calm down before he kills someone," he said, dragging the young she-wolf off of his brother.

[~*Dream*~]

Sagina held tight, only to let go when she felt something grab her. She almost turned around and nipped Genba right in the face, but stopped herself just in time. She shook him off her, and calmed. "You've ruined us, Hougen." she said with spite before loping over to where Ryo and Kiba were. "Don't you worry about us, Ryo. We're the pack, we're stronger than him. He can only lead us if we let him." she reassured.

[/size][/color]

Riatha leapt away, halting about a yard away. She laughed darkly, "The gray one's right, what kind of Alpha are you?" she paused, "But do continue, it's been such fun!" she taunted. She would have continued the fight, but he was quickly becoming a bore. So, intead of staying, she instead took off after Alue and Roshi.

[/size][/color]

[Night]

Kiba nodded. "I wonder what has happened to him to make him like this," he said, quietly.

Ryo snorted. "Hougen is strong, Sagina. He's killed wolves who have said he's wrong or help the other side. He wont hesitate at all to kill blood, well unless it's Genba," she said.

"Why should he get any special treatment?" Kiba asked.

"Because they're brothers! They've always been there for each other and they haven't left each other's side," Ryo said, sitting up. She was getting her breath back slowly.

Genba was trying to calm Hougen. He would have to get Alue back in a bit, but he was more worried about his brother.

Hougen had his head pressed up against a rock. He was shaking, although he didn't know why. Either it was anger, or the fact that he was crying. He hasn't cried since he was a pup. It shocked him.

[~*Dream*~]

Riatha caught up with them soon enough, and smiled quite slyly. "Are you ready to go home yet?" she asked with an 'I told you so' gaze.

[/size][/color]

Sagina growled, baring her teeth in an irritated way. "He's not God, Ryo!" she snarled, though her anger wasn't directed towards the other she-wolf. "Regardless, I'm going to look for your pup -- Lydia's not going to stand a chance unless I do." Sagina followed in the path of the others. She would eventually come back, but she would force herself to leave the pack if necessary. She was done with the drama -- she'd had enough of it.

[/size][/color]

[Night]

"I never said he was," Ryo whispered, getting to her paws slowly. "I'm going back, I'm leaving," she said, limping into the forest.

Kiba followed. "I'll help you, Ryo. Where are you going?" he asked.

Alue looked at her. "I was waiting for something like that to happen. Something to distract them," she said through Roshi's fur. "But yes, I'm ready," she added.

"Where are we going? I want my mom," Roshi whimpered, his tail inbetween his legs.

[~*Dream*~]

Riatha rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything. "Are you taking the pup with you?" she asked hopefully -- it would have quite the amazing twist on her little play. If not, Riatha would just take the pup her own self. The best part? She hadn't even had to do anything to break the pack apart; it was all them.

[/color][/size]

She couldn't believe it, she was looking for someone ELSES pup! But, that wouldn't stop her. She followed Riatha's and Alue's trail for some time, before verging off after just Lydia's. She found the little pup under a rock, propped up by another and a tree. The little one was crying.

[/size][/color]

Lydia had only been there for a few moments when Sagina tried to urge her out of her place. "No! You'll just try and take me back." But that wasn't Sagina's intention, and when Lydia realized it, she calmed down and came out of her place. She snuggled up to Sagina.

[/size][/color]

[Night]

Ryo was close to Sagina and Lydia, Kiba helping her. She could hear the two. When she saw them, she smiled. "C'mon Lydia and Sagina. We're going to a different pack," she said, before continuing forward.

Kiba looked at Sagina. Suddenly he felt something grip his hind leg. He fell onto his side, the breath being knocked out of him. He looked at what had got him and saw Hougen.

Hougen growled. "Everything was going smoothly until you came," he said, biting down harder on Kiba's hind leg. Suddenly a snap was heard.

Kiba yelped loudly as he felt a sharp pain go through his leg. He snarled as he tried to move it. It wouldn't move so he guessed it was broken.

"Yes, I'm not letting them ruin this pup, even if he has Hougen's blood in him," Alue snapped at Riatha.

Night was along the border of Hougen and Genba's territory. He looked at Romeo, Cade, and Aryan. "Ready?" he asked.

[.:Aryan:.]

Cade nodded and suddenly disappeared in thin air with Romeo at his side. The two moved swiftly and suddenly found themselves watching a hideous attack. The yelp bled through Cade's ears and swam through his body. He knew if he howled it would echo and his placement would remain secret, his scent perfectly masked, so he did so, having to warn Night. He knew it would be stupid but this had to stop. There were pups at stake as far as he could see. His tone rang through the trees and he nudged Romeo, motioning him to follow. They swam through the night until they collided with Aryan further back.

Aryan growled. "Cade are you crazy?!"

Cade snapped. "Shh!" He then listened for a minute. "Mom, its not a pretty picture back there. Alue is there, along with pups and Hougen's about to kill another, I won't let it happen. I love you..Bye" He gave her a quick lick and vanished.

Romeo stood there looking at Aryan in shock.

Aryan whimpered and looked for Night so she could tell him. OR was he already there?

Cade arrived in the clearing behind Alue. "Alue!" HE whispered quietly. "Tell everyone to move quickly towards the river that goes through our home, this is where YOU have to be alpha, go now! I'll get the wounded one, make sure the pups are safe!"

[~*Dream*~]

In her head, Riatha was doing a little victory dance, but her facial expression did not change. “Watch your tongue.” she snapped back. Riatha stopped, ear flicked as she listened to another’s howl. Things were moving quickly, and getting interesting just as fast. Riatha didn’t have a part in all this, really. She was just standing on the sidelines, offering destructive criticism and the likes – just giving things a little…Push, now and then. Out of all the packs she had gone through, this was the fastest out of all of them to break apart – on their own accord that is. Riatha turned as another came across them, obviously a friend of Alue’s. ”Well isn’t this interesting.” she said with a voice that clearly wasn’t interested.

[/size][/color]

Sagina shifted uncomfortably, but nodded at Ryo. Sagina jumped back as Hougen grabbed at Kiba, before snarling and moving forward. She aimed for his neck. He may have raised her, and for some time she might have thought of him as a father, but this was wrong.

[/size][/color]

Lydia whined, scampering towards her mother. Hiding behind her, she felt a little bit stronger. ”Daddy stop!” she yelled, though she was terrified of the big brute.

[/size][/color]

[Night]

Alue looked behind her and nodded. "Follow me," she whispered to Ryo. She then turned, Roshi still in her jaws and ran towards the river.

Roshi whimpered.

Hougen lifted Kiba to block Sagina. He stopped and looked at Lydia. His eyes softened. Even if he was this evil he couldn't hurt his own pups, well not too badly. The others may think he would, but he wouldn't.

Kiba felt teeth go into his own neck. He yelled out in pain.

Night was looking in between the bushes. His heart pounded. He was right next to Hougen, but he couldn't rush anything.

Ryo picked up Lydia and ran after Alue. "Sagina, c'mon. Kiba is fine," she said. She had sensed Night and Cade's presence.

[.:Aryan:.]

Cade then began to shift position, closer to Hougen, keeping good visual for his father who stood across from him, swallowed by the darkness as well. Cade did not want his father injured at his age, he then shook his head with a slight gesture of bared teeth. He then watched Alue do as she was told and he smiled softly then returned to what would be his next job. Finally he bared his teeth releasing a cold, deep, growl. Auburn hues flashed a light red in the black night.

Aryan ran to what Cade had spoken off. She saw her daughter, the pups...and oh the fight, the blood. Necessary? Was it right for a pack to turn on themselves? What has caused such a disruption.? She whimpered for the young pups and the pain and anger that wallowed amongst the air. She stood just so of Cade and she let out a yip of aid then presumed the right stance.

Romeo saw how the family began arranging themselves and then tipped his diadem, doing the same. He was now directly east of Aryan, watching, waiting...

[~*Dream*~]

Oh what to do what to do? Shrugging, she trotted after Alue, watching them disappear infront of her. But she just kept on at that stready pace, following their scent. Things were escalating quickly, and she was enjoying it.

[/size][/color]

Sagina stopped and paced backwards a few steps, wary and cautious. She winced, unsure what to do. Kiba is fine. but he wasn't fine, couldn't she see that. Sagina growled uneasily, before scenting a few other wolves in the area. She looked over her shoulder where Ryo had gone, wondering what she should do. She seemed to trust these other wolves -- wolves unseen but most certainly there. Her heart jerked as she tore away and ran after Alue and Ryo. The rushing of the river filled her ears, and she slid to a stop; whining before loping on after. When they cam across the river, she slowed and stopped two yards away, not daring to go any closer.

[/color][/size]

For once, Lydia allowed herself to be carried, her paws and tail curled against her under side. She looked behind her at her angered father, before the scene disappeared into the trees. Lydia looked up at her mother before staring straight forward, wondering where they were going.
