This be Kohaku's table now.
Momma was gone and once again Kohaku and Lucia had been confined to the inside of the den. The multicolored puppy stared at the bright tunnel with wishful eyes. Lucia was behind him and was loudly chewing on her doll. Her growls sounded through the den, but weren't nearly as impressive as his mother's. Kohaku could only remember one time when his mommy had been really angry and her growls were so scary that they were almost scarier than the bright, loud light. Kohaku didn't know what the light was called, but it made lots of noise and there was always water dripping from the sky when he heard the loud light. He really didn't like that light.
Puppy blue eyes turned back to look at Lucia in the dim den. His eyes were slowly starting to change and had a ring or turquoise around the pupil. Kohaku wanted to play, but he didn't want to play with Lucia, she was always fighting with him and wouldn't listen to what he said. Suddenly, he came up with a bright idea. His eyes light up and his oversized ears flew up. When Lucia wasn't looking, Kohaku scrambled out of the den. His mommy didn't ever let him leave the den when she was gone, but he was so much older now and could take care of himself.
Soon his head popped out of the den's mouth and he looked around excitedly. The puppy's black nose twitched while his tail wagged and he scanned the horizon. Mommy wasn't anywhere to be found so Kohaku scampered out the the underground home with a mischievous gleam in his eye. He ran into the towering bushes, the wind whipped in his face and his tongue hung out of his joyful smile. Kohaku wandered around for what seemed like hours, bouncing and inspecting everything he came across.
Eventually the two-month-old came into a clearing a fair distance from his home. A flock of small, golden bird stood in the middle of the clearing. He watched for a moment as they pecked at the ground, one even pulled up a wiggling pink thing and ate it. Kohaku's changing eyes sparkled and he launched himself forward into the den howling. His howl was still weak and uncontrolled, but it was loud enough to scare the birds. They flew off protesting loudly and Kohaku watched as the left. His tail was wagging so hard that his butt rocked to it's motion. Kohaku panted slightly and turned in a circle. He could see the blue sky peeking through the trees as fluffy white clouds passed overhead.
