Violet's POV

I was so close to tears when Kiba finally caught up to Ari's (and Scar's) scent.

We'd stopped at the edge of the Village, where it bordered the forest to one side. It was deserted. But Kiba adamantly told us that they'd definitely come this way. They were here, but once they stopped, their scents vanished altogether.

Kiba was, understandably, frustrated. His face was all red, and he kept growling things to himself. Gaara wasn't any better. He was just silently seething. And honestly? That was harder to bear.

"What now?" Kankuro muttered in frustration. He was still standing by me, though I wasn't sure why. He thought I was annoying, why would he go out of his way to be near me?

"We need to find them." My voice wasn't realy strong, more like a whimper. But it was so quiet outside, everyone heard me just fine.

"We will," Temari said firmly. She wrapped one arm securely around my shoulders. "We just need to figure out what happened." She and Kankuro shared a look over the top of my head. It was kinda hard, but I got what they were "saying" to each other.

What are the chances we'll actually find them?

Not really high, if I'm being honest.

What are we going to tell Vi...?

"Tell me we'll do everything we can to get them back," I said softly, eyes locked on the ground. Even so, I knew they flinched. "That's all I'm asking. It's my responsibility to help them. You guys don't owe us anything. But I'd be really grateful if you would give me some help. Please." I looked up with teary eyes.

They pretty much melted on the spot.

Which I found weird. They always seemed like such cold, heartless meanies on the show. But to us--me and my sisters--they were sweet and caring (for the most part). Even Gaara had managed to soften up around my sister. That made me wonder....

Did we change the storyline at all....? Just from coming here....?

The thought made me go cold.

I tried to shake it off and focus on rescuing my sisters. There wasn't a whole lotta evidence, but I was sure theyd been kidnapped. They wouldn't have just left the Village. Especially without me. We were at each other's throats sometimes, and I was really good at annoying Scarlette, but that was just how we were. It didn't change the fact that we love each other. They wouldn't leave me, like our parents did.

"Hey, Doggy?" I said, turning to Kiba. He made a face at my nickname for him, then just sighed and linked his hands behind his head, giving me a thoughtful look.

"Yeah?"

"Can you smell anyone else here besides Ari and Scar?"

He hesitated, nostrils flaring as he inhaled. His nose twitched. Akamaru yipped once or twice. "It's... weird," he said finally, screwing up his face as though he couldn't believe it wasn't butter.

Er, I meant he couldn't believe what he was smelling. Sorry! Ari loved those commercials.

"Weird how?" Kankuro pressed impatiently.

"I don't smell anything human," Kiba clarified. "But there's a really overpowering scent of wood. And... clay? I'm not sure but... yeah. I think it's clay."

Akamaru barked loudly, backing up his partner's words.

Aw! He was just so cute!

Back to what I was thinking about.

Clay... and wood?

Holy mother fluffing hippos.
