(smashes keyboard) ARRRGHHHH!!!!!! I wrote this whole fic, it was beautiful, descriptive, I loved it and the stupid, frickin (this portion has been blocked for viewer discretion) power went out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I lost every word of my fic, all 3,000 of them. (enters a new stage of anger and breaks downs in tears) I can't believe this happened, I just cannot believe it!!!! Gah, I'm gonna try and write it again but it's always worse the second time around. (grumbles off)

Disclaimer: I don't own WR or "Broken," if I was smart enough to write either of those I would've probably been smart enough to save my work

Pairings: Blue x Hige, but I think that's pretty obvious :p

A/N: ---song---, got it? Easy enough? Good.

Well time to write this fic for the second stupid time (grumbles off again)(jams in the save button)

Dark clouds of gray loomed fretfully over the bitter white wasteland of snow and glistening ice. The piercing frost of snow rubbed irately against Hige's chapped, raw paws as the wintry wind blew across his fur, leaving his muscles to pulsate in chill. He turned his glossy maroon eyes from his feet to gaze upon the haggard forms of his pack. Kiba was hardly visible against the dancing torrents of sleet and snow, however Hige could still make out Cheza's warm, thin arms intertwined tightly against the wolf's coarse white hair. Jealousy stormed his mind, leaving him in a eruption of cold that ceased his vigorous pace.

"Only think of her," he commanded himself in a voice barely audible above the roaring of wind. He knew he didn't need to remind himself of this, ever since Blue had left to find her pops her radiant features and soft melodic voice had left him in a constant reverie.

(A/N: the electricity just went out again but I had it saved this time! Don't ask me why the power's going out it's not even storming)

"Hige, are you okay!?" Toboe yelled, noticing the dark silhouette of Hige's thick body paces away from where the rest of the pack stood.

"Err yeah, I'm fine Runt," Hige turned to his human form and slipped a hand behind his head in embarrassment. "Just lost in thought for a second, that's all." Hige spoke truthfully, jogging through the packed white snow to join the others.

"Can't you keep up, Chubby?" Tsume scoffed, "'lost in thought,' yeah, like we'd fall for that. Even the runt can keep up today."

"Tsume's right," Kiba nodded, turning his wolven azure eyes to Hige. "We have to hurry, I can smell Jagura's troops not far from here and we need to find shelter for Cheza."

Hige turned his nose to the thick mass of swirling gray sky above his head. "Well if everyone's going to give me a hard time I guess I just won't tell you my secret." He casually stretched his arms above his head while nonchalantly turning to his companion's confused faces.

"Hige please tell us your secret, pleeeaassee." Toboe whined, turning to his human form he grasped his pale hands around Hige's yellow sleeve.

"Just tell us why don't you." Tsume spoke gruffly, deciding it best to avoid insulting the maroon-eyed boy when he wanted something from him.

"Well, I guess I'll tell you," Hige teased, pulling his arm from Toboe's hold. He took a few steps forward as the soft crunch of sneaker against snow followed, sighing first he withdrew a bitter huff of air. "Yep," he turned back to the pack. "Just as I thought, hot dogs, exhaust, and perfume. There's a town not 3 yards from here."

"Really?" Toboe asked, golden eyes growing in excitement. "Kiba, can we please stop?" The pup turned his attention to the understood leader of the small group of friends.

"I guess we could stop for tonight, I don't want Cheza in the cold all night." Kiba responded, shifting uncomfortably under the petite girl's weight. "Hige, since you know where it is you can lead us."

Hige hastily nodded, turning back to his true wolf form he set off toward the scent, sending sprays of glistening powder in his wake. The bitter cold couldn't penetrate the warmth of his heart, for in the mixture of scents one held heavy against his heart, forcing him to speak one secret word to the gusts of wind caressing his face, "Blue."

---I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome And I don't feel right when you're gone away---

"Wow, Tubby wasn't kidding, there really is a city." Tsume scoffed as they neared the entrance to a warm gray town nestled safely against the outskirts of the icy desert.

"Hey, give me some credit, it may be cold today but the worst of blizzards can't numb these senses." Hige rose cockily to his human form, sliding a warm finger across the bridge of his large nose.

"It might not numb your senses but it's apparent the snow did a number on that little pea of a brain you have." Tsume laughed, following Hige's actions he changed to his false human image and sent a fist to the head of his stocky companion.

"What was that?!" Hige roared, elbowing the white-haired man in the stomach.

"Oh, apparently you're ears were affected too, huh?" Tsume teased, as he stepped forward to lay another punch he felt himself being pushed back.

"Please ,guys, stop fighting." Toboe whimpered, carefully wedging himself between the bickering friends.

"That's enough," Kiba demanded, taking sudden charge over the situation. "We need to find shelter for the night."

"Shelter? What about food?" Hige asked, leaning against the short black metal gate surrounding the city.

"Shelter's first priority we need to keep Cheza warm." Kiba replied in a slightly frustrated voice. He never could understand why he was the only one who safeguarded her. She wasn't just his, the others needed her for paradise too.

"This one is fine, Kiba." Cheza placed a soft, pallid hand on the skin of Kiba's bare arm, breaking him from his thoughts.

"See?" Hige inquired, "you guys can go find shelter and I'll catch up with you later, after I find some food."

"You'll be able to find us again?" Kiba asked, raising an eyebrow in doubt.

"Of course, I will, why are you even asking? Nose of steel, remember?"

Kiba stood uneasily, looking to his feet in concentration. "Ok," Kiba spoke finally, breaking the lingering silence with his composed voice. "Come on ,Tsume, Toboe, let's find shelter." With those words he set off walking to the heart of the city, Cheza still wrapped comfortably around his muscular shoulders.

Tsume scoffed, turning his eyes momentarily to the sky he walked after Kiba, pulling the neck of Toboe's soft, red collar behind him. "Be careful," Toboe squeaked as he struggled to keep from falling backwards.

"Don't be stupid, runt, I'm only looking for food." Hige laughed, baring a large fake smile to comfort his friends as they slowly disappeared in a sea of soft white flurries.

"They know what I'm really doing," Hige mumbled to himself when the wolves were safely out of sight. He rose a hand to his forehead and ran his ardent fingers through the thick brown strands of cold russet hair. "Why do I do these things?" He asked himself aloud as his lips fell into a deep frown. He wanted to be honest, to let his friends know what he was really thinking, to confide in them. But he couldn't, it stared at him in his face, a blaring reality, he could only trusted one person with his innermost thoughts.

Shoving his hands in his pockets Hige shuffled his numb feet through the icy road, careful to keep a distance from the busy people crowding the frosty streets. "She's got to be near, her scent's strong." He reassured himself, sending his heart in a brisk procession of beats. The souls of his feet filled with warmth as his quick walk rose immediately to a sprint through the lonely yet crowded streets, following the alluring scent of his beloved.

"Blue!" He found himself screaming, he had lost control of his body, it only had one objective and nothing else mattered. He wheeled around the corner of an alley, pausing as his soft maroon eyes filled with tears. Mere feet before his nose, barely discernible through the heavy torrents of sleet and snow, was a soft black profile shrouded with Blue's handsome scent.

"Blue," his lip quivered in happiness as he took a soft step forward.

The profile shifted, turning to the one who had broken the solitude surrounding it. "Do I look like Blue to you?" A gruff man's voice rose to the air, stinging Hige's nostrils with the pungent scent of alcohol.

"oh it's you, Quent." Hige's soft eyes fell to the floor before rising once more to the old man ahead of him. "Where's Blue," he asked frantically, feeling overwhelmed with a wave of loss. "She went to find you! Where is she!?" He shrieked again, wrapping his fists in the slightly damp clothe of Quent's thick coat.

The old man's eyes concentrated to the ground, shading his eyes with darkness from his hat, his thin, chapped lips rose to a scowl. "Looking for me?" He asked in a soft rhetorical voice. A surge pulsated through his fist as he quickly rose the mouth of his gun to Hige's chest.

"H-hey I didn't mean anything by it," Hige backed up startled, rising the soft palms of his hands to his sides.

"If she was looking for me," Quent continued, tightening both hands to the gun's trigger. "If she was looking for me, she wouldn't be out in a blizzard right now." He clenched his teeth in anger, whispering profanities under his breath.

"Blue, but why? Where the hell is she, you're not making any sense!" The brown-haired boy roared as he turned to run back to the icy wasteland beyond the outskirts of town. His actions were ceased as suddenly as they stopped as a deep pain in the apple of his back knocked him off balance.

"You're not going anywhere," Quent's hands shook with desperation as he pushed his gun heavily into Hige's back. "Y-you're a wolf, w-wolves who killed my family. You're all wicked demons, demons who don't deserve to live." He chocked through his words, struggling to compose his deep voice.

"Even Blue?" Hige inquired, limply dropping his arms to his sides he let the sharp, cold wind caress his tired face. "Does Blue deserve death as well?" He asked again as the silence relentlessly drummed his throbbing ears.

"Blue," Quent sobbed, scrunching his nose in anxiety he dropped his beloved pistol, sending a metallic clang to echo through the empty walls of the abandoned alleyway.

Hige tightened his muscles in anticipation, expecting the cold, agonizing pain of being shot. "Bring her back, unscathed, or I'll have your hide you dirty mutt." The old man returned to his old harsh nature as he kicked snow over his abandoned gun.

Hige turned hastily and nodded his head in amazement. "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to her." He spoke truthfully before dropping to his husky wolf form and racing to barren lands of the arctic desert.

---You've gone away, you don't feel me, anymore

The worst is over now and we can breathe again I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight I wanna hold you high and steal your pain---

Snow whirled in fits as the wind grew to torrential speeds stinging the cerulean eyes of it's black-furred partaker. "Hige, where are you?" Blue whispered through her tight black lips. She was beginning to regret her actions, why couldn't she had stayed with pops? Hige was smart, he had great senses, was her running to be a guide really necessary?

"Stop it!" She demanded herself, pausing her searching footsteps to compose the eruption of thoughts. "One storm's enough, don't make one in you head." She breathed, watching nostalgically as the soul of her warm breath seethed past her gentle lips.

Her heart throbbed painfully in her chest as she envisioned Hige's happy face. "No, he needs me. I know he does." She assured herself before charging further into the torrential blizzard of sleet.

---'Cause I'm broken when I'm open And I don't feel like I am strong enough 'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome And I don't feel right when you're gone away---

Hige stopped his quickening pace to sniff the air. It had been hours since he had set out, the looming gray sky was slowly eclipsing with veins of purple and black. He knew he had to find Blue before nightfall, if he didn't there was a great chance they would freeze to death, not to mention the fact that the malicious scent of Jagura's troops had grown stronger by the minute.

"If I carry on like this Jagura's soldiers will find Blue before I do," his thoughts pounded, making him sprint toward Blue's scent all over again. His heartbeat matched the thump of his paws on the packed snow, he knew the two scents were too close together. Chances were he'd be too late. Squinting his eyes he released a melodic howl of warning with all his might, praying it would reach her ears.

---'Cause I'm broken when I'm open And I don't feel like I am strong enough 'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome And I don't feel right when you're gone away---

The restless wind whirled angrily against Blue's sensitive ears, forcing her to pull to a stop and catch her breath. Her panting breath filled the air as a distant voice perked her ears. "Hige?" She quietly whispered to the storm. "HIGE!!??" She screamed again, turning to human form.

She sat agitatedly waiting for a reply when another noise stroked her distressed soul. "Hige is that you!?" She shouted, slightly quieter for fear of what it might be. This sound was different, instead of the harmonious song of the previous encounter, this sounded heavier, more metallic, like machinery.

"I don't know who Hige is," a croaking voice whispered behind her back, pulling her hands together and raising the hairs on the back of her neck. "But you'll be joining him in hell very shortly."

"W-who are you?" Blue hesitated, realizing what a stupid question it was. "Did he see me as a wolf?" Her thoughts pounded, "should I play off just being a normal human girl?"

"What I mean to say is, what have I done, I'm just a lost girl. Is that illegal or something?" Blue asked, straightening her posture with a new cockiness to her voice.

"Don't play dumb with me you dirty mutt!" The man tightened his grip on her wrists, leaning his mouth to her ear. "I know what you are, and your kind aren't welcome here anymore," he whispered with a sneer.

"God, no!!" Blue's mind fluttered as she felt her knees weakening. "Well then," she decided finally, attempting to step away from the man's grip. "I guess I'll just have to bite your hands off," she snarled falling to her true wolf form she ripped around and dug her teeth into the soft flesh of his bony hand.

She released his hands from her muscular jaw, ready to attack the man again when the sight of a huge army of soldiers filled her cobalt eyes. "Dammit," she whispered, tough nature refusing her to show any signs fear. "Hige where are you?" She gasped before charging into the flock of muscle and guns.

---'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome And I don't feel right when you're gone away---

Hige flew through the snowy wasteland tearing through the snow as of it was water. He had heard gunshots and he knew it could only mean one thing.

"I'm almost there, the smell is strong." He thoughts whirled as he enclosed on the battle. He stood stunned momentarily upon reaching the battlefield, stunned over the number of bloodied soldiers littered the once white ground. But many more were still fighting, gunshots whirred through the air only giving him slight glimpses of a furry flash of black.

"Blue!!" He cried, uncaring if his presence was noticed or not. Suddenly the blur stopped as Blue turned her head in Hige's direction, forcing him to watch helplessly as a bullet penetrated her neck. "NO BLUE!!!" He screamed, baring his teeth he tore through the men, finishing the job his beloved had so bravely started, till the men fled to their master; knowing the job could not be completed with their lives in tact.

"Such cowards," Blue scoffed, suddenly reminding Hige that she lay on the snow herself.

"Dammit, this is all my fault. Blue are you going to be okay!?" Hige fell to his knees, pulling Blue to his lap and brushing her hair from her face.

"I-I'll be okay, I-I've missed you." She coughed, blood gurgling in her throat.

"Blue promise me, promise me you won't ever leave me again. I need you, to confide in. I need you to love!" Pearly tears fell from Hige's maroon eyes, dripping down the bridge of Blue's tan nose.

"I-I won't, Hige. I-I'm broken," she coughed once more, snuggling closer to Hige's warm breast. "I'm broken without you." She slowly closed her glossy eyes. Finally secure in the lap of her lover, she had found paradise.

---You've gone away You don't feel me here anymore---

All done!!! Mind you it's not as good as my first one (sniff sniff) but it turned out decently enough. BTW, you can interpret it anyway you want, Blue dying or not dying. As for me I don't think she dies, I guess I could write a second chapter even though this was meant to be a one-shot--depends on my review I suppose.

Oh and heh heh in case you couldn't tell that fight scene was a lot longer in the original but I was running out of steam so---yeah--it got shortened

Well hoped you enjoyed this fic, in case you're a fanatic like me who frantically searches for Blue x Hige fics I'll just tell you that all my other WR fics have Hige x Blue pairing as well. : )

Once more, thanks for reading. Please R&R, I need the support : )
