Bat sat outside of the village gates. He was expecting someone. Though this person probably didn't know that. Hopefully the little assassin Ziade would keep out of the way as well. Bat was afterall behaving as promised. He hadn't harmed a single soul, though his own soul longed for it. Rocking back and forth he waited in silence. Where oh were, is the pet?

Kole flicked his tail, waving commands to the other wolves. "We are setting off soon, though I have a feeling someones going to cross our way. Someone We've met before" There were responses of "Yes, sir" and "Ready, alpha" and Kole turned to look into the deep forest. He took a step forward, then another, heading in a walk. He began to trot, then full out ran into the dense woods. He could hear the others racing after him. Caleb on his left side, Trix on his right, a little behind Caleb. The other wolves were placed in rank, in a V shape, dodging trees. One wolf trailed behind Kole, right in the middle of the pack. "Darn you Alex, get back. You know were your rank is." Kole muttered. Alex fell back, behind all of the wolves and trail a bit behind. Go figure the omega would try and press up as a beta, or worse, an alpha. Kole felt the trees leave and could small a rain storm coming. He saw the village, and grunted. "Slow, guys, we are coming up to the place I told you about. Storm valley. The place were ninja's control storms." Kole trotted, then came to a stop once he saw Bat. He let out a growl and stood on his feet, tail parallel to the ground. He had a bad feeling about this. The kid just wouldn't stop getting in his way. If they talk, I swear to god I'm gonna kill them, he thought, staring at Bat.

(nice post)

Bat had gotten himself juicebox by the time Kole's pack arrived. The devil child looked almost as though he was a normal kid just enjoying the day before the storm actually hit. A grin crept across Bat's face when he spotted the wolf. Sliding off the bench it tossed the juicebox away and headed over to the pack of wolves. He feared no creatures, especially one's who were lead by a pet. "Hello, Kole," Bat said. His voice was normal, but something much more sinister lay behind it. A plot of the sort.

Kole dug his claws into the earth, sat down, and remained calm. "Bat. It was no surprise I'd find you in my path." A wave of murmurers went through the pack, whispering loudly. Kole turned to them and snarled. The pack grew silent and watched the two. Kole turned back to Bat, and tilted his head. "What do you want now?" He asked, voice rather stern.

Bat just shrugged as the mumbles passed through the pack. "I want nothing in particular," he said. "You're the one that's passing me, I'm on vacation," he said. "But I'm curious to know, have you thought about our little conversation the other day?" He asked. Bat was cunning, and would ever so slyly make Kole look weak infront of his pack, but he knew Kole wouldn't allow that. He wanted Kole to send his pack off while the two of them talked, because what Bat had to say, was not kind and not at all pleasing.

Kole swished his tail, yawned slightly, and shifted to his human form. He was sitting with a gray jacket on, white shirt under it, and blue jeans. He blinked and waved a motion to his pack. They stiffened and bowed their heads, backing off a bit. Kole waved his arm to say 'stop' and turned back to Bat. "The girl has no power over me. In fact, she should move on soon, but shes to afraid to." Kole said, brushing the black and red hair away from his eyes. "And getting around right now as it is, having to take care of someone, I need the money. Even if it means working around animals several times a day." he said his voice rather calm, his expression unreadable.

Bat shook his head. "How long will you keep believing that," he asked. "I find it pointless for you to hide behind your lies," he said. Bat then looked at Kole. "What is she so afraid of?" He asked. "Tell me, give me a reason to believe what you say."

Kole looked to bat, his blue eyes piercing at his. " "You" He said. Blinking. He shook his head, standing up. "It's pretty pathetic. She isn't in the pack anymore. I had in the right mind to kick her out." He then looked behind his shoulder at one pack member who had came closer. "Uhh, alpha, we sort of have a problem." He muttered. "What type of problem?" Kole asked, looking through the multicolored pelts of the pack. "Katin decided to follow us." The wolf replied. Kole turned to bat, but not looking at him. "This couldn't have been a worse time..." He muttered. It would only be a few minutes for Katin to realize they had stopped, then she'd be worried. Kole sighed, then looked to bat again. His face was again unreadable.

Bat looked at him. "Me what?" He asked. He then looked at the wolf. "Hmph, so you kicked her out, was that before or after our conversation," he asked. Bat eyes shimmer with danger as the wolf came up and said something about someone following. Bat leaned back and pulled out his sword and stuck the blade into the ground and leaned forwarded on it.

Kole blinked. He hated to admit it. "She's afraid of you getting in the way." he growled "And i kicked her out... after." He looked over to were the tree line was. A small girl who looked about 3 was running in the direction of the pack. Kole growled "God dammit Katin. If I wanted you to come, i would have taken you with." He muttered, walking a few steps into the pack. THe wolves faced Katin and kole growled. "Katin, didn't I tell you to stay behind?" The child stopped and looked to him. "I-i couldn't help it!" She said in a shrill voice. "I had to! I was worried!" Kole sighed and looked to bat, walking a few steps back to him. "Ignore her." He told him. Kole sat down and Katin ran over to sit by him. Kole growled but let her sit.

Bat looked at him. "Afriad I'll get in the way, how so?" He asked. He then smirked. After. So Kole wanted to prove he was no pet to Nilan. As a child appeared Bat frowned. The look of disgust on his face plain as day. "Is she part of the reason Nilan is afraid I'll get in the way," he asked looking the hcild over.

Kole nodded silently. Katin stood up, looking over bat. "What are you?" she asked, confused. When she noticed bat had his sword out, she quickly drew her knife and step back a pace. Kole watched her, ready to grab her if needed. Katin blinked and looked over bat again. "Your not like someone I've seen before, i know your from the akatsuki, that I can smell, but there's something about you... it's... different." she said, trying her hardest to get the right words.

Bat looked at the child. He would easily cut her down had Kole not been standing there. Bat then sighed. This child was a bothersome. "I'm a demon," he said and then looked at Kole. "Why do you let this child hold you down. Of what importance is she to you?" Bat found children to be a nuissance. They could not fend for themselves and just held everyone back. He himself was not considered a child and did not mind people like Krissy and Deita in the Akatsuki because they knew how to handle themselves.

Katin took a small step back. "Demon?" She asked, shaking her head. She brushed her black hair from her face, glaring her blue eyes at bat. Kole, grabbed katins arm and pulled her away from bat. She squeaked and sat down, glaring. Kole looked at bat, blinking. "She doesn't hold me down. She's a pup in the pack." Katin looked at kole, stood up and shifted into her pup form. She was a black pup with small red streaks in her fur. Sher dug her claws in the ground and darted back into the pack. Kole didn't seem to notice. "And the last thing you want to do is call her a 'child'. She'd much older then she looks." He said. "And pretty sensitive about it"

Bat looked at her as she ran off. "Yet she takes the form of a child," he said turning to Kole. He then nearly shrugged. "So, you never told me, what does Nilan fear? What am I getting in the way of?" He asked. "I do not believe I am interfering in any way, but if I am, I must say I'm doing a far better job than I realized."

Katin blinked. She sniffed the air and slowly walked up to Kole. "I smell rain..." She whimpered. "Yes, yes, we all do" another wolf muttered, pretty agitated. Kole blinked and shrugged. "She never told me. All she would say was that she feared you, and half the akasuki, but mostly you. She doesn't fear the leader though." He shrugged and felt a drop of rain hit his hand. He looked at it, then pulled up the hood on his jacket.

Bat bowed his head slightly when Katin said she smelled rained. He hated the rain. "She never said why. Interesting," he said and then looked up at Kole. "Where do you take your pack?" He asked. "Do you run from Nilan?" He asked. "Have you finally broke lose of that chain that held you before we first spoke?"

Kole shook his head. "The pack moves wherever i lead them." He said, looking up at the sky. A raindrop hit his face and he looked back at sky, as several drops of rain began to fall. He pulled his hood further over his head, making sure it was covering his hair. "Nilan hasn't been around for a while. She's been taking care of her own crap." he muttered

Bat raised his hand over his head as the rain began to fall. "And yet you refuse to answer my question. Where do you lead them?" He asked again. "She's been taking care of her own crap?" Bat repeated. "No matter," he said. "Have you seen your brother?" He asked.
