(Just a small note to myself: This is seprate from my 'salty noses' thread, so I don't get anything confused in the distant future.')

Hiei couldn't help but chuckle at himself, having wandered into the area by simple chance. Yes, these were so called 'pack' lands but eh, why not make it a bit stinkier with his presence? Black brute moved silently through the very trees the small pup had fussed with. Amused to say the least, but what could Hiei do? these lands weren't his own. Licking rather sharp canines for the barest of seconds, spittle sliding down the side of his maw as he was doing so, he grinned a rather toothy grin. Best not reveal too early, or thy prey goes flying .. Chuckle was easily heard through the trees once again, but his dark outline was honestly invisible in the shadows. Least that's what he hoped!
Pads kept his movement silent as he stalked his 'prey', deep rumble escaping a rather furry chest. Male hadn't eaten in days, and in truth he didn't care what was in front of him at the moment, long as it was meat of course. Ruby eyes peered from said shadows, sizing up the opponent before hind muscles gave a flex and suddenly and ..
He landed.
Right on a juicy squirrel. Delicious!
Quick bite ended the poor rodents misery, and another bite ended the small meal squarely. Which in the end was good for Hiei. He really had to right hunting on others lands, but screw them! Eyes wandered about for the barest of seconds, that was of course before the rain struck. Like a torrent it gushed rather hard against his soft fur making him look more like a drowned rat too. Rats! Wait .. mm yummy.. oh F- ! One would laugh at his thoughts if not for the fact of Hiei's sharp teeth.
Hiei's ears flattening to his head as he quickly looked for shelter, grunting lightly as he found a rather nice and large tree to hide under. Perfect Thought the male, crimson orbs glimmering as the rain continued on. Why hadn't he heard the storm coming though? Or at least smelt it .. eh, a well! Eyes looked around him idly, ears perked .. Maybe he could find some more squirrels hiding out from the melted blizzard outside. But then he saw it, the mother load of rats! Huge, at least to his knees.. Tail began to wag a bit, tongue lowling out, god this was going to be a good dinner tonight! Unbeknown to Hiei though the poor thing beside him wasn't a rat. It was Catharsis. Poor, soaking wet .. Catharsis.
