-----

Kiba woke surrounded by coldness, he stretched out and found that Mika was gone.

He sat up, his mind racing as he looked around him, and then he found her, against the back wall.

She was curled into a tight little ball, shaking slightly, as she stared blankly at the opening of the little cave.

"We can't get out." she whispered softly.

He stared icily at the frozen doorway and nodded.

He backed into the back of the cave and rushed the ice.

Slamming himself against the solid wall of ice again and again, bruising his shoulder.

"What are you doing?!" she yelled over the loud rumbling.

She watched as he continued slamming himself against the ice.

she pulled up the skirt and unsheathed the little knife hung there.

She began to chip at the ice.

The ice began to crack, and after Kiba slammed it again, the wall collapsed, falling in on the two.

Kiba dug himself out quickly and began searching for the girl.

Switching to his natural wolf form, he sniffed her deep under the snowfall.

He dug until he found the collar of her uniform.

slowly he drug her out, and pulled her over to the far wall.

He licked her face and curled around her upper body, trying to warm her.

After awhile, her skin faded from the harsh blue and back to it's normal pale tan.

He tried to stay awake until she woke, but her warmth was too inviting, and the white wolf soon fell asleep.

Mika awoke around noon to find a warmth around her. she opened her eyes to find a white, scarred wolf curled protectively around her.

She tried to push the wolf away, scared, but found that she was too weak. It's warmth was inviting her chilled body into the depths of sleep, and she tried to push him away one last time before she fell asleep again.

He woke around sunset, when the dark was becoming darker through the cracks in the ceiling.

He uncurled himself from her carefully, trying not to wake her up.

He padded over to the snowy entrance of the little cave and began to dig furiously into the snow.

He dug a small tunnel into the snow and dug out of the snow-drift.

"Kiba?" A small voice came to his ears from inside of the cave and he clambered back down the tunnel in his human form, slightly clumsy from the difference.

When his head popped through the human sized hole, she wrapped her arms around him protectively.

"Come." he said, ducking out of her grasp.

She followed him out, carefully.

When he looked around, he found that most of the snow had melted around them in the streets, and that the snow drift that had trapped them was now melting, and that his den would soon be flooded.

"Stay." he said, jumping down into the hole again.

He reemerged a few moments later with her backpack and his jacket in hand.

"Thanks." she mumbled, grabbing the green bag.

Her eyes lighted up with the bloody glow eminating from the setting sun, and she had an idea.

"Come on!" she said, grabbing the brown haired boy.

She drug him to the elementary school playground and climbed up to the top of the slide, the metal biting into her skin.

"This is my favorite spot." she commented, and pointed to the beautiful view of the setting sun.

The school was up on a hill, and had a beautiful view of the city as well.

They sat in companionable silence for awhile, watching the sun die and the stars blink on as if some juant hand was painting them into the sky.

Flashback

Kiba chased Mika around the swingset and through the trees, both were laughing.

Kiba pounced on Mika, dragging her to the ground.

When they finished laughing, they helped each other up and went to sit in the swings.

"Hey, Kiba?"

"Yeah?"

"Let's stay together forever."

"Okay."

"Pinkey promise?"

Kiba's small six year old hand reached out to grasp mika's five year old one.

"Pinkey promise." He said, linking pinkeys with her.

"Race you to my house!" Mika said, suddenly and raced off toward the northern part of the city.

What happened when they got there would change their lives forever...

End flashback.

Kiba closed his eyes tightly, turning his head.

"Mika, i never dreamed..." he whispered to himself.

She turned away from the setting sun, the blood red light giving her a halo.

"Kiba?" she asked, concerned.

Kiba blinked away the tears and turned to her, a small smile on his face.

"You don't remember, do you?" he asked her, his voice quiet.

"Remember?" her brows drew together in concentration for a moment before she remembered.

"That was the night....." Tears formed in her eyes, blurring her vision.

She forcefully blinked them away.

"I can't keep that promise, Kiba." she said, her voice full of sorrow and pain.

"Why?"

"People change." she whispered, sliding down the slide and running off into the darkness.

He caught her halfway to her house, she was leaning against a building, tears spilling forth from her eyes, staining her cheeks.

"Not this much, mika." he said, fingering her locket chain. "You still care, i know it." he said, pulling out the chain holding the Darsha family Insignia on it.

"Look, My father won't allow it, he'll kill you and me."

"Run away with me, Mika."

She stood, slowly, letting her hair fall in front of her eyes.

"I cant." she said, running down the streets, running from her only chance of escape.

He caught her by the arm, jerking her around to face him, taking in her wince.

"I will wait for you two nights from now, i will wait for you." he said, then he turned and ran down the alley, and into the darkness.

Little did they know, they weren't alone.

Mika walked in the door, slipping off her shoes, and carried herself upstairs.

She sat down on her small bed and wept.

A loud slam caught her attention and she immediately stopped crying.

She wiped her eyes and stood.

Her door slammed open a few moments later, and a blow hit her hard across the face.

She fell to the floor and stared up at the man who had hit her.

"You stupid wench! You had a customer last night, and you lost me money! Where were you!" The broad, hard muscled man picked her up by the collar of her shirt.

"I...I got caught in the snow." she looked away from him.

He punched her in the stomach and she coughed up blood, but held it in her mouth.

"You'll pay for losing my money, you stupid wench." he growled and punched her again.

"I'm sorry." she choked, her eyes glazing over with pain.

"You ain't runnin' off with that boy neither!" he said, punching her again and again.

He tied her hands to the head of her bed, and ripped off her shirt.

"You're mine, got that?!" he growled, slicing open her shoulder with his knife, the blood pouring down her skin and onto the already bloodstained sheets.

"You're mine girl, and you can't get away from me, i own the house of Darsha, even if you are it's only heir." he grinned and sliced her arm, more blood.

She tried to squirm away from the knife, but he sat on her hips, forcing her to stay still.

"I'm gonna show you who you belong to, ya little whore." he said, shifting so that he could unbutton her skirt.

Kiba stood at the top of the slide, watching as the moon set and the stars blinked out.

Tears streamed down his face, staining his skin.

He turned ino his wolf form and howled, giving his pain and suffering voice as he cried to the moon.
