((No!))

Kioko shook her head at the thought of what Kale wanted. she looked at the ground, venting her fury into her ability, wanting something big to happen. But only a small grey flower grew, and she shuddered. It reminded her of when she was a pup and the humans...She hated thinking about it.

((lol nice reference XD ))

Kale winced as he felt Vince's teeth bite into his shoulder. On instinct, he let electricity course through his entire body, shocking Vince. He wrenched away through brute force, but a piece of his shoulder came off with it. His teeth bared, he snarled the words,

"Fine, you win this round. But trust me when I say this, you'll be seeing me again."

His voice dripped with venom and he dashed away, leaping over the flames surrounding the area without even getting slightly burned.

-----

Aurora sighed in relief as Kale left. She also felt an odd fuzzy feelign blooming in her chest as she realized the fact that Vince had won. Again, if her pelt wasn't so dark, one could have seen her face turn cherry red.

-----

Kurano finally arrived the moment Kale ran off. He made it a point to devote the wolf's appearance to memory for future reference. He instantly demanded,

"Kioko, Aurora, are you two okay? What happened?"

Kirano glared at Kale as he left, and his feeling that his sisters were in danger seemed to leave with him. When Kurano came over, he walked to stand by his twin, and nuzzled him.
I have missed you greatly, brother. It is such a pain being around Kioko all the time.
He was so happy for a guy's company.

Kioko looked at Aurora, wanting her sister to share what she felt needed to be shared.

((Thank you. I kind of felt that would be a great reference to the first time she used her powers.))

Vince shuddered as the electricity coarsed threw his body. He growled and memorized Kale's look as he left, his blood still in his mouth.  Feeling his muscles begin to go lax and a buzzing sensation in his head, Vince knew the electricity must've been knocking him out.  Somehow he managed to remain concious until Kale's threat left. As his limp body fell to the ground, the flames disappeared as if they had never been there, its only mark being a ring of blackened gr*censored*.

~~~

Kylane ran to her brother as arrived in time to see him fall. She examined him quickly before nodding and forgetting him instantly.  She looked around and smiled to those she didn't know and said,

"Hello! My name's Kylane! How are you?!"

Aurora dashed to Vince's side when the ring of fire went out. She checked him for any injuries and if he was still breathing. The shock had probably knocked him out, she reasoned. With a sigh, she looked over to where Kylane was already giddy, greeting everyone.

----

Kurano scowled at his brother, just waiting for him to try and make a move. He hated getting all possesive over a girl that wasn't even his yet, and also against his own twin brother, but he couldn't help it. He hovered behind him like an ominous shadow, an obvious warning to his twin, but seemingly nothing to his sisters and Kylane

((geez Kurano o_O))

Vince groaned a little and began regaining his senses, he moved a foot, hoping he could speed his recovery by doing so. The wave of sensation was moving slowly outward until he fully woke up, but, opening his eyes, he didn't get up.  He had seen Kurano's look. As a guy, he could fully recognize what was going on. He smirked a little in spite of himself

Aurora looked down in suprise as Vince groaned slightly. Evidently, he was waking up. She bent her head down, a worried look on her face, and asked,

"You okay?"

Vince smiled up at Aurora, finally sitting up in a more confortable position. 

"Yeah, I'm good. Is everyone else ok?"

Then, quietly so only Aurora could hear, indicating Kurano.

"I mean everyone except your brother there who seems to have been struck by a wave of violent thoughts."

Aurora practically ignored Vince's question and smacked him with a paw. Before he could retort, she almost yelled,

"Are you an idiot?! You could have been killed!!"

Kirano looked at Kylane, figuring it was her, because he didn't recognize the voice.
I'll finish this conversation later, Kioko. Hello, I don't think we've met before?
He glanced at Kurano, slightly puzzled by the looks he was getting. He swished his tail at him.
Don't worry, brother. Just calm down.
He looked at Aurora, a little worried.

Kioko nodded to answer Kylane's question.
"And a little unwilling for non-family members to know."
Fine, Kirano. Just for now.

((Aw, poor Kirano. No girl for him...DX))

Vince's jaw dropped. He had not expected to be hit.

"Well, would you rather I had left you to him?! He would've....would've....I was doing fine!"

He sighed shook his head.

~~~

Kylane smiled happily when Kirano responded.

We haven't, but our parents have. I'm Maple and Aeren's daughter, and the wolf over there is my brother. He's not always in such a bad mood as this, I promise.

She smiled broadly at Kirano, just as friendly to him as anyone else she met.

Kurano did not agree with Kylane. In his warped mind, he thought she was being overly friendly to his brother. He did everything he could not to show it and remained silent, slowly simmering behind Kirano.

----

Aurora raised herself to her full height and glared right down at him, almost hissing the words,

"And what makes you think, I of all people, can't take care of myself!?"

"I didn't say that!"

Vince said puffing up slightly,

"I only meant I didn't want him to hurt you.....or your siblings."

The last part he hurriedly added.

Aurora bluntly said,

"They can take care of themselves as well! It's you I'm worried about!"

She snapped her mouth shut as she blurted the last part and looked away.

Kirano nodded.
Ah. So you are their pups. I was wondering if you guys were nearby.Without turning around, he added, And stop glaring at me Kurano. It is quite annoying.
He stood up, and yawned silently, then turned to Kioko.
I don't know about you, but I'm beat. Where shall we sleep? And soon?

Kioko shrugged, then threw out a question to no one in particular.
"Is there anywhere safe we can sleep? I agree with Kirano on that."
For once.

Smiling, her introduction done, she walked over to Kurano, playflly pushing him, saying,

"Your bother seems nice."

~~~

Vince's jaw dropped slightly.

"I was just worried about you....he didn't seem like the nicest guy in the world..."

He shrugged and looked away, at a loss for words.

Kurano glared once more at his brother before turning his attention to Kylane. he said,

"Yea.. i guess so." After a moment he asked, "You have any idea where we can spend the night?"

----

Aurora sighed, still looking away. The others were already starting to move off, but Aurora didn't really feel as if her paws were up to moving just yet. Her heart seemed to pound in her ears as she stood there, pointdly looking away from Vince.
