A/N: Ok this is my first try at fan fiction so, please be nice. I hope you like this chapter. Please R/R.

The pack ran through the cold thick snow. The white wolf in front with the gray one following him. After that came the light brown wolf wearing a collar and behind him came a darker brown wolf. All in a straight line, squinting their eyes, trying to see through the bright falling snow flakes. The collared one glanced behind him and saw the younger wolf stop where he was and collapse in the snow.

"Toboe! You have to get up before you get berried in the snow. Come on runt!" Hige went over to his friend and nudged him.

"I'm fine." Toboe stood up and began to run slowly.

The collard wolf watched the younger one as he ran, letting Toboe get ahead of him. Hige hadn't noticed till then that he couldn't see Kiba and Tsume. He sniffed the air in search of his fellow pack members' scent, but to no avail. Toboe stopped and found that Hige wasn't following him. The dark brown wolf called out to his friend.

"Hige! What's wrong." Toboe came closer to Hige and stopped in front of him.

It wasn't till then that Toboe also noticed his friends' disappearance.

"Where's Kiba and Tsume?"

"That's what I'm wondering. We must've gotten further behind than I thought." The happy-go-lucky wolf answered, trying hard to see through the still thick falling snow.

"What are we going to do?" Toboe looked a bit scared at the thought of loosing two of his best friends.

"We'll just have to keep running in the direction that we've been going." Hige didn't seem all that bothered by the situation. He figured the others weren't to far ahead.

"What way was that again?" The dark brown wolf asked, looking around him.

"Uh... that way." In human form, Hige pointed in the direction he thought they should go.

"Are you sure?"

"Of coarse I'm sure, runt."

The two wolves ran in the direction they thought their friends would be.

Hige and Toboe struggled to walk through the now very deep snow. The wind was blowing hard and it was hard to see anything, let alone open your eyes. Both wolves grew more tired with each step. Shaking and afraid that he might never see his friends again, Hige kept putting on paw in front of the other. He looked behind him at the younger wolf to see how he was doing. He looked exhausted.

"Toboe, I think it's time to take a break." The collared wolf stopped in front of the other wolf.

"No way, we have to keep looking for Tsume and Kiba. Come on they're probably just ahead of us." Toboe pushed his way in front of Hige.

Hige sighed.

"Let's wait till the snow settles." The lighter brown wolf stayed in the same spot. "We would've found them by now. We'll look for them again when the weather settles down more. Let's go find a cave to warm up in." Hige motioned for Toboe to follow him but the darker brown wolf kept walking in the same direction.

"Toboe."

Toboe stopped, but didn't turn. He sighed.

"What if we don't find them again?" The younger wolf lowered his head.

Hige didn't know what to say at first.

"Toboe....... Don't worry about it. I'm sure they're looking for us ,too. They'll probably be the ones to find us." The collared wolf tried to reassure his friend.

"Yeah, I guess your right." Toboe turned around and looked at Hige, looking like he felt a bit better. "So, wheres that cave?"

"Hey Hige! I think I see something over there!" The dark brown wolf started running over to what looked like a cave.

"Hey wait up runt! I don't want to loose you too!" The collared wolf ran after the younger one.

The snow was still falling heavily and it was hard to see. The two wolves were now extremely exhausted and had been looking for a cave to rest in. Toboe dragged his feet through the snow as he approached the mouth of a small cave. It was dark and a little damp, but it was better than staying outside in the cold. Hige approached the younger wolf and stopped to catch his breath. Both of them peered inside.

"Do you think it's safe?" Toboe asked Hige.

Hige sniffed the air.

"Seems good enough for me. Come on." The happy-go-lucky wolf led the way with a cautious Toboe following.

"I don't see why we shouldn't rest here." Hige laid down and rested his head on his paws.

The darker brown wolf looked around the cave. It didn't seem to be all that big. He walked to the back of the cave and froze at what he saw. Bones. Toboe was used to seeing bones, but these weren't one that wouldn't bother him. The bothered him alot. They were wolf bones.

"Uh.... Hige?" Toboe stared at the wolf bones at the back of the cave.

"What is it runt?" The older wolf sounded like he was half asleep.

"Look."

Hige sighed and got to his feet. he looked over at what his friend was looking at.

"Wolf bones." Hige walked over to the bones and examined them. "The don't smell that old."

"Do you think... what ever killed it is still here?" Toboe sounded scared now.

As if answering Toboe's question, a growl was heard from the mouth of the cave.

Both wolves looked in the direction the noise had come from. At the front of the cave, stood a huge brown bear, looking very angry.

Dun Dun Dun!
