A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. Hope you like it though. Please review people. Thankyou MalletWielderofDoom for reviewing.
Hige and Toboe stared at the bear in fear. The huge bear came closer to them. The younger wolf backed away some, but the collared wolf stood his ground. The bear growled at them and swung a paw at Hige. The wolf dodged his attack and growled back. Hige jumped on the bear and dug his teeth into the back of its neck, but was soon thrown off of it. The light brown wolf hit the hard wall of the cave and then fell to the ground, crimson red liquid dripping from his mouth.
"Hige!" Toboe ran to his friend and crouched down beside him.
Hige sat up and looked behind Toboe. The older wolf's eyes grew big and he shouted at the dark brown wolf.
"Toboe watch out!"
The bear swung his paw at Toboe but Hige jumped in front of his friend and took the blow. Sharp claws dug into the collared wolfs side, leaving deep jagged cuts in his flesh. The injured wolf fell to the ground, bleeding.
"No Hige!" Toboe ran to his friends aid once again.
Hige attempted to get up but he was gently pushed back down by the younger wolf.
"Don't move."
"But.... the...bear.." Hige was scared to think what might happen if he didn't kill the bear now.
Toboe turned and looked at the huge creature standing behind him. He began to shake in fear. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't take the bear on his own, or could he? The bear had been weakened by loss of blood from the wound on its neck. Maybe Toboe could take it.
"You don't hurt one of my friends and get away with it." The dark brown wolf growled.
Toboe jumped on the bears back and sank his teeth in the bears neck, just bellow the wound that Hige had created. Blood splattered every where and fell to the ground. The bear struggled to get the wolf off of its back but was to weak. It fell to the ground face first with Toboe still on its back. Toboe jumped off the creatures back and stood still a moment, panting. Blood covered the cave floor, both bear and wolf blood had been shed.
"Toboe." Hige whispered.
"Hige." The dark brown wolf walked over to the lighter brown one looking worried.
Toboe sat beside Hige. His friends torso was covered in blood.
"Hige, your going to be alright." Toboe said it but he wasn't so sure to believe it.
Tears filled the younger wolf's eyes. They had lost their freinds and now Hige was going to bleed to death. Toboe couldn't stand the thought of being alone.
"No. Hige I won't let you die."
Toboe began to put pressure on the other wolf's wounds to slow the bleeding while Hige stared at him with caring eyes.
"Every thing.... is going to be alright." Hige whispered.
"I know."
Kiba and Tsume had been out in the cold snow searching for Toboe and Hige. They were really beggining to worry.
"As hard as it is to see out here, we may never find them." The gray wolf said while running behind the white wolf.
"Don't say that, ofcoarse we'll find them."
Kiba knew what Tsume said was true, that they mignt never find their freinds, but they couldn't just give up on looking for them. Tsume stopped a minute to sniff the air, nothing. He sighed and began to run again.
Toboe woke up and found himself curled up next to Hige. At first he had forgotten about what had happened but quickly remembered when he saw blood on the ground next to him.
"Hige!"
The younger wolf looked at the older one to see if he was ok. He shook his friend, trying to wake him, but to no avail.
"Hige wake up, please." Toboe shook him again, but it still didn't work.
Toboe was relieved when he saw the collared wolf's chest rise. He was still breathing. His breath was shallow but he was still breathing. Toboe sighed and looked around the cave. It was a horrible sight. Blood all over the cave floor and in the middle of it lay the limp corpse of a bear. Some blood was spattered on the wall next to him, from Hige.
"What am I going to do?" The young wolf whispered to him self.
