3RD PERSON's/ Tigress POV
Rustling leaves shuddered as a deer dashed by. It seemed quiet until multiple pads of feet could be heard, running after the deer. Streaked fur, orange and black, dashed through the underbrush after the herbivore. A young woman, pale in palor with black stripes on her face and snow white hair, followed after the pride of tigers. Her silver-blue eyes glittered in the moonlight. ' We are almost there, little one. It is time to shift.' The woman nodded her head.
Her skin grew snow white fur, the stripes blending in, her face became more angled, nose pushing out to form her muzzle and she dropped to all fours, claws extended and fully in her tiger form. She raced beside the pride, blood pumping with adrenaline for the hunt.
' You have gotten quicker in your shifting dear. ' I nodded my feline head. We had caught and killed the deer. ' Tonight we FEAST! ' We all roared in excitement at the meal we had.
Pein's POV
Itachi, Sasori, Hidan, and I all watched Tigress as she shifted and hunted with her pride. " She is quite powerful Leader- sama." I nodded my head in agreement. My eyes not leaving her snowy frame. " When shall we speak with her?" Sasori asked. " Tonight, when her pride sleeps. Less of a threat then." They all nodded.
Tigress's POV
I slept further away from the pride, curled up in my tiger form. I heard the snap of a twig and jolted up, baring my teeth in the direction of the sound. My teeth sharp and deadly, just like my claws. My head was low, ears turn back, and my tail flickering as four humans walked out towards me. One has silver hair combed back and purple eyes. Another had red hair and what seemed to be an apathetic look on his face. Another had long black hair and coal black eyes. The one in the middle had fiery orange hair and ringed purple eyes with multiple pieces of metal in his face. " We have a question for you Tigress." The metal man spoke, his voice seemed to be a commanding one and I growled again, shifting to my human form.
My tail and ears were still out but my pale skin seemed to glow under the moonlight. My animal pelt clothing was form fitting so I can run easily. My long white hair was in a braid and my silver blue eyes were narrowed at at four men. It took me a few seconds to remember the human tongue. " You... speak." I kept my eyes on him. " We are a group of powerful ninja. I want you to join my organization. Do keep in mind, if you do not accept, we kill you and your pride." I growled in frustration at this knowledge. " I shall join... but I must say farewell to my pride." He nodded and I turned, dashing off to my pride. 'MOTHER!' She jolted up, ' What is it my daughter? Why do you smell of human males?! Have they harmed you?!' I shook my head sitting down in front of her. ' No they have not. I am joining their group to become stronger. I shall visit monthly mother, do not worry.' She nodded her great feline head sadly. ' Very well my cub. ' The younger cubs came to me asking me not to leave them. I smiled sadly as I bid them all farewell.
I walked away, back to the males with tears in my eyes. I was leaving the only family I have. As I reached the metal man he smiled sadly at me. " Let us go." I nodded after him and we jumped into the trees to leave. Behind us you could hear the sorrowful yowls of my pride.
