Sorry about the last chapter but this one will definitely be longer.

Last time...

He got up and started to walk off.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm leaving here."

"You can't."

"What do you mean."

"There's no way out..."

Chapter Two

"But there has to be a way out."

She looked at the ground, "I'm sorry. I've been here for years and still haven't found an exit. These caverns go on for hundreds of miles and it would take forever to explore them all."

Kiba thought for a minute. "Shira, do you know where a large cavern is?"

"Yes, there's one about a mile away. Why?"

"I have an idea."

Shira nodded and ran off with Kiba following her.

With the gang...

The three remaining wolves were standing where there leader had fallen. The hole had already closed up and frozen over.(thats just how cold it is there)

"Is he really gone?" asked Toboe.

"Probably is, but he can take care of himself." said Tsume walking away.

"How can you even say that!?!"

"Tsume doesn't mean that. Besides I'm sure Kiba has some sort of plan. At least...I hope so."said Hige.

In the caverns

"We're almost there Kiba. Kazebo!"

A large silver wolf came around the corner and ran to them.

"Shira? What do you need?"

"Kazebo, this is Kiba. He fell into one of the caverns, and might know how to get out. Oh, and Kiba, this is my older brother Kazebo."

"So, Kiba, what's this great idea of yours anyways?"

"You'll see."

Once they arrived Kiba looked around and sniffed the air, then let out a piercing howl. The large icicles began to fall from the ceiling.

"You fool! You'll get us killed!"

Kiba chose to ignore him and kept howling.

With the others

"Huh? Hey Tsume, did you hear that?"said Hige.

"Yeah, but it's faint."

"It's Kiba! He's alive!"exclaimed Toboe.

They strained their ears and attempted to follow the distant howl. After nearly thirty minutes of running the howling was as loud as it could possibly get.

"He's under us. Kiba! Can you hear me!? It's Hige!"

"Hige? Is that a friend of yours Kiba?" asked Shira.

"Yes it is. Hige! I'm about thirty feet below you, with two others! I need you to start digging a tunnel, and try not to make it steep!"

"Sure thing Kiba!"came a voice from above.

"They're going to dig us out."

"Oh and what are we supposed to do while their digging?" snapped Kazebo.

"We're going to dig up."

"But the wall has two feet of ice. We can't dig through that!"

He motioned to the icicles, "Start ramming."

"Uh oh, rock." said Hige.

"Not really," explained Tsume, "Its just a chunk of ice, it could be broken easily." He looked at Hige.

"Tsume, I don't like the way you're lookin' at me..."

The next thing he knew he was zooming headfirst into the tunnel with a headache.

"Watch out!!"

All four wolves fell out of the tunnel.

"Hey! I did it!"

"Good now lets go."

One by one they crawled up the cramped space. Hige emerged first followed by Kiba and Kazebo who pulled up Shira. She expected to be looking into the eyes of wolves but was instead looking at four boys and her brother now human. After deciding to enter human guise herself she looked to the four boys.

"Thank you for your help, I am eternally grateful," she turned to her brother and elbowed him, "Say something!"she hissed.

"Thanks, I guess."

Kiba noticed for the first time that Kazebo had a blank eye with a scar running through it.

"Kazebo, how did you get that scar?"

"A rogue war machine a couple years back. Damn thing caught me off guard, I won't make the same mistake twice."

Tsume smirked inwardly. He was going to like this new guy.

"So," started Shira changing the subject, "who are you?"

"Well I'm Hige, he's Tsume, I believe you already know Kiba and the runt is Toboe."

'Toboe!? It can't be him!'

She looked at Toboe 's bracelet before looking at her own.

"Toboe? Remember me? It's Shira. The overgrown puppy?"

Toboe thought for a minute then squealed with joy. He ran up to his old friend and embraced her tightly.

"Uh.... Toboe ...I kinda need to breathe."

"Oh, sorry 'bout that."

"Wait," interrupted Tsume, "You know Toboe?"

"Well it's a long story......"
