EMOTION: 100 WORD THEME CHALLENGE

Hello and welcome to my brand-new story, in which I'll be writing 100 theme challenges based on one single word. I'm really excited to be doing these, and I think we'll have a lot done in no time at all! Every chapter will be 900 words maximum, but there will be a lot of drabbles, and the challenges will be based around my own Clans.
Hope you all enjoy this first one.

Challenge 1: Kits

Flightfoot padded slowly to the freshkill pile with a lizard in his jaws, looking around at his Clanmates as they milled through the camp. It was a sunny, peaceful day, and prey was plentiful on the sandy plains that made up AmberClan's territory.
"Flightfoot?"
The grey tabby tom turned to see Lilyflower, the youngest of the Clan's two queens, coming up behind him. She looked ruffled. "Do you think you could look after Smokekit and Iriskit for a while? I need a rest." She flicked her tail.

Flightfoot stared at her. Oh no. He wasn't good with kits, everyone in the Clan knew that! He'd probably step on them within a few minutes, or lose sight of them while they were playing, or…well, he could think of a hundred other things that could go wrong while he was looking after them.
"What about Darkflight?" he asked, wondering why Lilyflower was asking him and not her mate.

Lilyflower sighed and sat down to clean her paw. "He's away on patrol. Please, Flightfoot?"

The grey tabby nodded slowly. "OK, fine. I'll do it." He knew how stressful it could be for the mothers of the Clan. I suppose a few minutes won't hurt.
Lilyflower purred. "Thanks a lot, Flightfoot! I knew I could count on you!" She bounded away to where Sunwing and Pearlpelt were chatting by the warriors' den.

Flightfoot turned towards the nursery, padding over and approaching only to see the two kits themselves playing in the sandy soil outside the entrance.
"Flightfoot!" Iriskit called, her blue eyes wide and bright with excitement. "Come and play with us!"

Flightfoot closed his eyes and sighed. I guess it's a good way to keep them entertained.
"OK, I'm coming," he said. "What are we playing, then?"
Smokekit narrowed his eyes. "You're a scorpion, and we're big warriors coming to attack you!" he hissed, crouching down in the sand. Before Flightfoot could realize what was happening, Smokekit had leaped onto his back and was digging his claws into the older cat's shoulders. Iriskit gave a purr. "You get him, Smokefur!"
"Hey, that's not fair! I wasn't ready!" Flightfoot cried, but neither of the kits were listening. Iriskit let out a tiny growl and began to 'battle' his tail, clawing and biting at it with tiny claws. Flightfoot wriggled on the ground, trying desperately to get free of the kits.

He was about to bat Iriskit away from his tail when an airy voice sounded from above.
"Hey, Flightfoot. Looks like you're having a nice time."

The kits stopped clawing him to shreds and Flightfoot looked up to see Lightsky standing above him, her blue eyes full of amusement. Smokekit jumped off his back and raced over to his new target, yowling, "Another scorpion! Come on, Irispetal!"

Flightfoot felt his ears heat up as he realized what he must look like. Trying to get to his feet, he licked his paw self-consciously. "Um-"
Lightsky easily batted Smokekit away and turned to Flightfoot. "Well, I should probably get going. Don't want to make Flameheart angry," she said, referring to the quick-tempered deputy of the Clan. She turned and padded away towards the dark brown tabby tom.
"Bye-" Flightfoot was abruptly cut off by Iriskit jumping on his head.

"Flightfoot loves Lightsky! Flightfoot looooves Lightsky!" she chanted, and Smokekit quickly joined in. Flightfoot dislodged Iriskit and gave a sigh of relief as he spotted Lilyflower approaching the nursery.
Kits, he thought in annoyance, flicking his tail out of Smokekit's reach. To think I was once like this!

A/N: The first challenge completed! I had a lot of fun writing this, and I hope you enjoyed reading it.
