A/N: Capassa?!?! What's up?!?! Hope you liked the last couple of chapters Hope you like this one too. Thank you TanWhiskers for reviewing.


: "What am I going to do?" Toboe whispered to himself. :


Toboe sighed and stood up. He didn't know if he should stay here with Hige or if he should go look for Kiba and Tsume. What was he supposed to do. He wasn't prepared for something like this. The young wolf looked down at his friend. Hige looked really bad. He might not last much longer if they just waited there, but Toboe couldn't wake him up. Toboe had to go out and look for the rest of the pack alone. His mind was made up.

"Don't worry Hige, I'll be back, I promise." With that said, the dark brown wolf ran out of the blood covered cave and into the snow.

Luckily, it had stopped snowing, finally. Now the snow was even deeper. The night sky was spotted with stars and a half moon was showing. Toboe picked up his pace and threw back his head, letting out a howl. Kiba and Tsume were to far away to here his cry for help.


In the dark of the cold night, a white and a gray wolf ran through the snow. The white blanket was glistening on the light of the moon. Both wolves ran side by side, panting. The white one glanced over at the other.

"Tsume do you smell anything?" Kiba asked.

"No, not yet. Doesn't seem like we're even close to them. Kiba, or sure we're even going the right way?"

"Yeah, I saw those paw prints leading this way."

"We lost that trail a long time ago, I think we need to take a break to think things out for a minute." Tsume began to slow down, as did Kiba.

The two wolves sat in the cold now trying to catch their breath.

"It's hard to find anything out here, almost everything looks the same." The white wolf said to the gray one.

"Yeah well, I think we would've caught their scent by now if we were going the right way." Tsume sighed.

"We had to of missed something." Kiba looked around him, looking for anything that could possibly help them.

"Hige! Toboe!" Kiba shouted out, hoping for an answer, but heard nothing but the echo of his own voice.

The gray wolf threw back his head and let out a loud howl and was soon joined by Kiba.


Hige awoke to a terrible pain in his side. He moaned and tried to sit up, but found that he couldn't move very well. He couldn't remember what had happened. Why did he feel so groggy? Then he remembered.

"Toboe!"

Hige sat up as well as he could and looked around for his freind, but found no one. What he did find scared him. The bear that had attacked them lay on the ground dead, but thats not what worried him. It was the blood that covered the floor.

"Ah!" The tan colored wolf doubled over when he felt the pain again.

"Toboe, where are you?" he whispered, not expecting to get an answer.

He got an answer anyways, but it wasn't Toboe. It wasn't even a wolf.


Toboe was running as fast as he could in the deep snow. He let out on last howl and then tripped over his own feet. The dark brown wolf fell face first into the snow. He quickly got up when he felt the cold snow sting his face.

"Ah cold!" Toboe sat up and shook his head.

The young wolf sighed and looked up at the sky, wondering if Kiba and Tsume were really looking for them. He also wondered how Hige was holding up. Was he even still alive?

Toboe shook his head again. "No, don't think like that. Have to keep looking," He scolded him self.

The wolf got back to his feet and began to run again, hoping that this time, he would have more luck.


"Kiba! I've caught their scent! I think it's them." The gray wolf picked up his speed, passing the white wolf.

"I smell it, too!" Kiba ran up to Tsume's side.

The two wolves ran at full speed. Kiba howled, hoping to get an answer this time. They approached the mouth of a cave. Outside they could smell the terrible stench of blood. Kiba led the way, but he was cautious about it. Behind him, he could hear Tsume stop in his tracks.

"Kiba, I don't think we should go in there." The gray wolf said in a stern voice.

Kiba new he probly shouldn't but he kept walking anyways.

"Hige and Toboe could be in there."

"I know I'm not the only one who smells blood. The scent is thick. There must be a lot of it." Tsume wasn't going to move.

Kiba stopped for a moment to think, but pushed a terrible thought to the side and walked inside the cave. When he did, what he froze at what he saw inside. The rotting corpse of a bear lay on the ground in blood. To the side of the cave scared him even more. Hige was laying on the ground drenched in blood with a live bear standing in front of him, it's claws dripping in blood.


Muahahaha!!!! I'm so evil. But I could be a little nice and remind you that, I never said there was going to be a character death. If you know what I mean. ; )
