For Hiei. [WC: 421]


Days were passing, slowly but surely. Days blended into each other, until Catharsis had forgotten how long she had even been here. How many days since she'd seen Mama? She couldn't remember. Everything was far too mixed up. She tried not to think about it anymore. She just didn't want to admit that she was losing hope. Spring was in the air.. kind of. The rain just kept falling. It wasn't so bad, really. Catharsis had come to like the rain, or at least not mind it so much, since she spent so much time away from the den. She preferred to be away from her family. Everything about them reminded her of Mama, reminded her that this wasn't home. She wanted to go home.


Yet, the more she tried to remember, the more she seemed to be forgetting. She couldn't even quite remember her mother's face. She tried to look the the puddles at herself, to pull the image of her mother back into her mind. Black fur, like her own. Two red eyes instead of one. No scar. But it was no use. As days passed, all she had left of her mother was that scar, and the imbalance of her vision. She barely noticed - she couldn't remember what it'd been like to see with both eyes, since the red one had been scabbed over for so long. The lack of decent depth perception wasn't noticable. It was like she'd never even had it.


Life went on. Days passed. It still rained.


Today, she'd decided to chase squirrels. Adventures were the little girl's release; she flew through the mud, her normally fluffy black fur pressed down against her small body, making her resemble a drowned rat. She had the energy of a jackrabbit, however, despite her ill luck at catching her prey. Lunging after the morsel of what, she hoped, would be lunch, she ran headlong into a tree trunk. Sniffing, she wiggled her nose, muttering distaste towards the towering wooden being. "Watch where you're going, would ya?!" she mumbled as she glared at it. Eyes turned away, she slipped on a root, falling again. "Umph! Hey, that wasn't nice! No, no indeed!" It had clearly tripped her for calling it out on it's rudeness. Ugh. What a big jerk!


Walking away and sitting across from the tree, just out of roots' reach, she glared at the rugged old tree. If it was going to be so rude as that, she'd show it who was boss. But.. how?

(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.
