Kiba looked over the edge. He could make out two dark figures. Both lay on the ground, motionless. Kiba jumped off the ledge and landed in the snow. He ran to Blue, hoping she was still alive.

Blue's body was broken and extremely bloody. She landed on her back, already the blood circled around her. Her arms lay at angles next to her. Her left leg appeared to be broken. But her face is what concerned Kiba most. Her face was pale, yet held streaks of blood down it. Her blue eyes were closed, only making Kiba worry more.

"Blue? Blue wake up." Kiba called.

Blue's head twitched slightly. Her eyes opened partially and she gazed up at Kiba. Kiba thought is heart stopped as he looked into Blue's eyes. Her normal blue eyes were glazed over. The light had dimmed and was still darkening. She opened her mouth to speak, but cough more blood.

"Hang on Blue." Kiba said. He readied to lift her.

Blue pushed him out of the way and Darcia tore past him. He slammed into Blue, sending her a few feet further back. He hit her again, this time Blue hit something more. Blue's back struck the wall of the mountain side. Her head flew back, striking the cliff as well. Her body fell back onto the ground with a heart stopping sound.

Kiba's body seemed to refuse to move through the entire thing. He watched as Blue appeared lifeless once more. Her body lay limp on the snow covered mountain. Darcia approached her again. He pushed Blue's body so she lay on her back. He placed his paw on her chest and howled triumphantly,

His teeth glistened as they sunk deep into Blue's neck. Blue screamed and struggled to free herself. Her face was struck with fear and pain. Her red scarf was ripped off her neck and blew away.

"Blue!" Hige cried.

"Get away from her!" Kiba sunk his teeth into Darcia's back and ripped at him. Darcia released Blue and turned his attention to Kiba. Blue's blood dripped from his jaws, only angering Kiba more. He growled and charged. Both wolves collided and sunk their teeth into each other.

Dacria's teeth sunk into Kiba's back. Kiba bit into Darcia's hind legs. Darcia shook his head roughly, hoping to tear off flesh from Kiba's neck. Kiba held onto Darcia's leg tightly. His jaws moved father up his back and crushed him more. Darcia released Kiba and howled in pain. Kiba released him and sunk his teeth into Darcia's neck. Darcia fought to free himself. He bit and clawed at Kiba, but Kiba held on for his life.

Darcia ran into the ledge, hoping to crush Kiba. Kiba's jaws still clamped into Darcia. Kiba shook his head roughly. He pulled at the flesh and bit it over and over again. Kiba noticed the next ledge behind Darcia. Kiba released Darcia and began shoving him towards the ledge. Darcia had lost so much blood, he hadn't noticed Kiba's plan, until it was too late. Kiba shoved Darcia hard in the chest. Darcia fell over the edge howling in defeat.

Kiba gasped for air. Blood ran profusely from his neck. He leaned on his knuckles, hoping to keep his balance. He turned and stumbled towards Blue. The others tried making their way down to them as well.

Blue lay on the blood stained snow, struggling to breath. Her neck wound appeared worse than Kiba's. Her entire body was covered in scratches and bite marks. Her left arm contained a large gash from her shoulder to mid-arm. Her wrist was scratched beyond possibility. Her right shoulder had been forced out of place. The bond peeked out of her skin, allowing more blood to seep onto the snow. Blue's jacked was shredded with claw marks. Her chest bled from every scratch. A few near her heart were deep.

Blue's legs were worse than most of her body. Her legs leg was clearly broken in several places. Deep scratches and gashes covered her leg. Her right leg was covered in blood. Both boots had been torn completely off during the fight, exposing Blue's bleeding legs to the freezing air.

Her body shook violently. Blue's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she started coughing blood violently.

Kiba skid in the snow to reach her quicker. He lifted her head onto his knees. The blood ran freely from her mouth, keeping her from choking on her own blood. He held her shoulders to the ground, keeping them from further injury.

"Blue! Kiba!" Kiba looked up.

"Hige, hold her legs down." Kiba said. Hige nodded ad held Blue's legs to the ground.

"We need to wait till she stops thrashing." Kiba stated within a few minutes, Blue stopped thrashing in the snow. She fell limp again, but she was still breathing.

"We're running out of time." Tsume said.

"In more ways than one." Hige pointed out. Each one was suffering from injuries that could kill them.

"Let's go." Kiba lifted Blue into his arms. His body swayed as he stood, luckily Hige steadied him out.

They jumped up the side of the mountain quickly. They sky was growing darker by the second. The top of the mountain revealed a crater inside it. They stood at the edge of the crater.

"What do we do?" Hige asked.

"We go inside." Cheza answered. She jumped into the crater.

"Cheza!" The others jumped down after her.
