Anutae shook as he took a few breaths..."Nokutoras dieing...he has been ever since he was a pup. When he was younger he accidentally inhaled some poisenous gas. The people who trained him to fight took him to the vet. He survived...but not all of it left his system. He still has a bit left and I believe it's faught harder now." he trembled violently and let a few tears fall as he gulped. "He told me of his condition and said he was going to be there for me till he died like I promised to him. We were brothers. But now...he doesn't want to put me through pain...and has left." he stated and he sniffed.

Nokutora sighed. Shivering in sadness he shook his head. "Kiki...I'm dieing. The thing thats making me die is growing stronger...even if you came with me...I wouldn't have the strangth to put you through that pain. Of watching me die." he stated crying. Tears falling in a silent waterfall of pain and death. "I'm so sorry."

 Mathew hugged back and cried tears falling like there was no tomorrow. As the rat held onto his friend in pain and pure heart ache.

(So sad.*crys to herself* "sniffle, snifle... things really get me emotional.)

She frowned as she gazed into his eyes and started to cry aswell. "Okay, but can you promise me one thing, when you go to Heven, and I know you will please come find us all...please" she whined and wimpered out sadely.

Shizukew started to cry aswell tightinging his hug on Mathew "i'll miss him so"...but we will see him again...if not on earth thenin Heven" he stated saddely, sniffling.

Shizukew layed thiere looking at the stars, wishing, just wishing that it was all a potent nightmare.

She licked his tears, away, before saying "don't cry, for every tear you shed will be athous'nd heart acks tears, to weap and hurtings for your loved ones". "I'm going to keep you on that" she said trying to lighten up thiere mood, though she was in pain.    

Nodding Nokutora smiled lightly. "I'll try to stop crying." he woofed and licked her cheek. "Thank you...Kiki...do me a favor...please." he stated laying down. The poisin in his body draining his energy faster now. "Please stay here with me. I want to have some comfort as I die." he stated. Trying his best not to cry for her. And as he layed his head down. He let his body die slowly but thankfully the poisin took some mercy and made it less painful then he had planned. And finally...his heart stoped and his breath came into a long sigh as he closed his dazed dull eyes.

 Anutae cried lightly as he thought of his friend and all that had happened. "Akila." he huffed as his tears slowly came to a halt. "Thank you. For everything." he woofed and licked her cheek.

Nodding his head he smiled at her lightly. "You're welcome love." he woofed and wagged his tail slightly. "We should head back to camp before you're brother wonders where we were." he chuckled lightly and got up.

(I wrote for kiki.)

Shizukew half smiled "yes, he will always be with us" he said reapeting Anutae and trying not to cry.

Akila sat down. She saw a peek of te sky. She looked up. She knew that Nokutora took his last breath. She sighed and looked down
