I have to admit, the reason I decided to stay in this city...
...was because I caught wind of something.
A scent that I couldn't possibly have smelled before.
The scent of Lunar Flowers.
I don't really have any complaints about my current lifestyle.
I can always get food, so long as I'm not too picky.
I can handle the cold, too.
Well, it does kinda suck that there aren't any girls around here.
But on that day... I felt something calling me, all right.
That dangerous, and... interesting scent called to me.
Boy, you sure screwed up.
I've never seen anybody caught like this before.
I can get out of this thing whenever I feel like it.
Why did you get caught, then?
I wanted a nice, long rest, that's all.
My name's Hige.
Why don't you stay in your true form?
To these people, we represent terror.
If we hide our true form, we can blend in and live alongside the humans.
So, you're just lying to yourself, waiting to die a miserable death in this city?
I'm doing this to survive.
Keep looking like that, and you'll get caught again eventually.
It draws too much attention.
Have you given up your pride as a wolf?
You're a strange one, all right.
But pride doesn't count for much if you're dead, you know?
Kiba is one strange guy.
He's completely clueless, but he's full of self-confidence for some reason.
He'll stick his nose into dangerous situations without a second thought.
I guess it's my own damn fault for hanging around somebody like that,
but at any rate, we met her.
Cheza. The Flower Maiden.
You have nothing to fear. You are awake now.
We can finally set out on our journey.
This way!
Wolves, eh?
It would appear that it was you who woke her. You have my gratitude.
Who the hell are you?
The Flower Maiden is mine.
Maiden...? Is that Cheza?
Let us meet in Paradise.
If we meet again, that is.
The scent of flowers was gone.
We set out on our journey in search of Paradise.
We were joined by that runt, Toboe,
and a guy named Tsume, who puts up a scary front.
Anyway, it's all for one, one for all.
Hit us with your best shot!
Boy, I'm hungry...
Yeah, me, too...
How much longer do you think we'll have to go without food...?
I dunno... Another three days, I guess.
Would you two shut up?
Don't whine over three stupid days.
But we'd have something to eat right now if we'd stayed in the city.
If it comes down to it, we can start eating each other.
Maybe we'll start with the runt, since he's grown the weakest,
...or maybe we'll start with porky there.
How come Kiba isn't on the menu?
Because he's full of crap.
Can you sense the castle ahead?
That is where you were born.
It wasn't until a while later...
...that we saw Cheza again.
She's there...
Hold it! This doesn't concern us!
I feel it...
Feel what?
I don't know. But it's familiar...
Don't you guys feel anything?!
Kiba!
Can you?
That guy is hopeless...
That scent...
It's her. It's really her.
My heart just skipped a beat...!
Who is that?
This way! Over here!
That's Cheza, all right. That's the Flower Maiden.
She's a flower and a maiden? That's weird.
Well, as the story goes, some Nobles with too much time on their hands...
...made her from a Lunar Flower in a lab somewhere.
Well, either way, she's not my type.
It's too bad.
This one has been waiting for you all this time.
This one was born here for that very reason.
This one is home, everyone!
Oh. No one is here anymore.
Everyone has withered and died.
This one is the only one left.
Who are you?
The Hanabito is what they called us.
This one could tell from your scent.
You are not like this one?
You are a true perfect creation.
You aren't like my kind.
The wolf seeks out the flower, and the flower seeks out the wolf.
But you mustn't go with them.
Why not?
It will lead to destruction.
Kiba, is it all right if this one stays with you?
Can this one stay with you?
You have to stay with us.
Hige?
Sure, why not? When you're on a trip, the more the merrier.
Toboe?
Tsume?
Fine, tag along.
If that gets us to where we're going, I'll put up with you.
When Cheza was with us wolves, she looked really happy.
We all liked Cheza,
and Cheza liked us, too.
I bet you're hungry, right?
She won't eat that.
What should we feed her, then?
What're you doing?
This one is stuffed!
Aren't you?
Um... Sure.
C'mon, Tsume! Have her pet you, too!
It feels really good!
She smells so great...!
Kiba!
We will all go... together.
This one can be useful, too...
Cheza!
Crap!
Out of all of us, Kiba was the special one.
There's something between him and Cheza that's, how can I put it?
It's different from what the rest of us have.
We could tell that there was some kind of bond there.
But even so, when we wolves were with Cheza, we were truly happy.
It's finally here!
The first full moon since we met Cheza!
Our hearts were all pounding with excitement!
This is finally it.
Yeah, right now, I feel like I could do anything!
Just because we have Cheza with us, this full moon seems totally different, huh?
I wanna howl my head off!
Something is about to happen.
The road to Paradise!
Is that what this is?
Amazing! This is amazing!
Wolves... It has been quite some time.
That scent... A Noble?
What are you doing here?
Was your dream a pleasant one? The one where you were going to Paradise.
What?
The time has not yet come for that.
Return to me, Cheza.
Get out of our way!
It's futile.
Toboe!
Wolf's blood... Magnificent.
Kiba...
That's enough.
D-Don't go!
Don't!
It's all right.
Don't go, Cheza...
We're wolves. We're not afraid to die.
This one knows that. But it has made up its mind.
It's all right.
Kiba... This one knows it will protect you.
Cheza...
What's that Noble after Cheza for?
What does a human hope to accomplish by trying to get to Paradise?
We really didn't care.
But there wasn't anything we could do about it.
Cheza went away.
You up and moving already?
What's with you guys?
Even considering what happened, you're going overboard with the moping.
I couldn't sleep, that's why.
Hey, neither could l.
You slept like a log.
I'm just as shocked, hurt, and frustrated as the rest of you.
But the real question is, what do we do now?
Live here in a stupor forever?
Say something, you guys!
Kiba! You haven't said a single word since then.
Drop it.
Kiba was hurt the worst.
It's not that.
I'm really pissed off, that's all.
She went that way!
Come back here, damn it! She's over there!
After her!
What a babe...
So, she's got friends...
What about it?
How come those guys were chasing you?
I thought that I ought to work.
Work? I've never given it much thought.
That's how wolves are supposed to be, I guess...
But that's how I've always lived.
I've always been at Pops' side, always wanting to be useful to him.
From you guys' point of view, that might sound like complete nonsense.
But the thing is... I was happy.
If nothing had happened, I could have stayed happy forever.
I don't know what happened,
or if it really was wolves who killed everyone.
But that's what Pops believes.
And just because of that, he hates all wolves?
If I had stayed ignorant, I would've been able to stay at Pops' side forever.
If I hadn't met that girl, I could have stayed the way I was forever.
If I hadn't learned that there was some wolf in me...
You want to go back to that guy?
I can't go back.
If I did, I'd have to hunt you guys down again.
Sounds nice... I wouldn't mind being hunted down by a girl.
'Cause I'm always the one who does the chasing.
But they always get away from me.
When I start to get in the mood, I have to take a leak.
I'm feeling that way right now, actually.
Gross. Go somewhere and do it, then.
I'll hold it in! You look like you're about to bolt on me.
You're a nice guy.
Yeah, I get that all the time.
Hey, why don't you come with me?
Go where?
Anywhere, it doesn't matter.
Sounds tempting...
Scent of a Flower, Blood of a Wolf
Next Time
Have you ever wanted to go back to the old days?
Back to happier times.
No matter how difficult the present may be,
the day may come when you'll find yourself thinking,
"Boy, things were so much better then."
