Several days had passed already since Kami's meeting with Jefferson, Noah, and Ookami. Despite his acceptance into the pack little had changed with his lifestyle. The golden eyed wolf strode confidently along the packs borders, his black fur contrasting against the snow covered landscape. He had been spending his days roaming the territories, trying to get a clear understanding of just how much area this pack claimed. Of course he knew it would be easier if he had asked Noah or Ookami to guide him, but he wanted the time to think. It was this thinking that had him distracted as he leaped over fallen trees and pushed his way through the thick brush of the forest he had been walking in. He moved gracefully and with purpose, but it was clear he was not focusing on the world around him.
The quiet forest quickly became filled with the sound of breaking branches and crunching snow as something large was forcing its way through. Instantly Kami became alert once again, his right ear turning in the direction of the sound as his heart beat began to quicken. The deer broke through the brush only a few yards in front of him and never slowed down. Its powerful hooves carried it into and out of Kamis sight before he even had a chance to react. The flashing white of its raised tail vanished into the woods as it fled from some unseen predator. Choatic sounds of the running doe began to slowly fade away until once again the forest fell silent and only the sound of Kamis beating heart filled his ears. It took him a moment to recover, and only another moment to curse at himself. He had been careless and stupid to let his guard down so low, but he would have to beat himself up later With his senses now completely tuned to his surroundings a faint scent crept into his nose. The scent of what Kami could only assume was the frightened deers assailant, a wolf.
Without another thought he headed in the direction of this stranger. Moving now through the trees as if he were part of the forest itself. As he had told Jefferson only days before, this is what he was best at. Months of hunting in unfriendly territory had made Kami very good at tracking and stalking prey. The scent was leading Kami back into pack territory, so he couldn't help but think that they were most likely friendly. Though he was pretty confident that this area was on the outer borders and assuming anything about this wolf would be foolish. With all this in mind, he ran. The scent growing stronger with each step until finally he had found them. Kami's eyes narrowed as he squinted to try and better his vision. The yellow eyes had never been all that great at seeing long distances, and it didn't help that this wolf was white furred. Without hesitation Kami lifted his head to the sky and gave out a low, short howl. The sound only carried itself far enough to get their attention, he wasn't wanting to call the rest of the pack if he could help it. His head lowered as the howl died off, his gaze fixed on the stranger as he awaited their reaction. . .
