Chapter 2 much a.. Due

Welcome back and enjoy this chapter,,and I do not owne mononoke so don't try and sue!

Hunger ravaged Soto she could only sit and fight the hunger pangs while hital searched for food. When would hital find some food. Soto rested down with her muzzle resting on her sprawled out forelegs. She licked at her 42, long sharp teeth wanting to sink them into flesh of a rabbit or even a plump bird of sort's. It's been nearly a year into Soto's

Pregnancy, almost twice the gestation period of gray and red fox is usually around 63 days, soon she would give birth to her litter. Her hunting instinct was almost making her leave her waiting spot to search for her own pray. To pass the time Soto thought about when she first meet hital about 20 year's ago…they meet at a wolf meeting about the passing of the elder alpha male of Soto's clan,, hital's family long friend's of the RIVER clan came to comfort their friend's. They automatically hit it off they would hunt together when ever their was a RIVER and SKY clan group hunt, this usually happened when time's were tough so more wolf power was needed to find and pull down something large. After one strange kill , a large serpent that has been terrorizing the smaller animal's and pup's ,Hital found a strange shaped bone in this snake's, the bone looked like a river splitting in to. Not to long after they decided to become mate's the clan's ware happy with their decision but also knew they would have to go out on their own and start their own clan because they would become a breeding pair and within each pack there can only be two breeding pair's , the alpha's and the sidreal's.Frightend by this thought Soto shyed away from Hital for sometime, but over time he proved to her he would find them a home and a haven not to far from the two other clan's so they could visit…

Soto snapped out of her remembrance because she herd hital's grunting, she shot up and rushed toward the sound. She found he was dragging a medium sized elk. His eye's meet her's with a silent order for her to garb on and help. Without protest she clamped her jaws over the animal's shoulder and heaved the beast into their den site. The taste of the animal's blood filled her mouth making her even more hungry.Hital looked at his mate as he groped the kill and breathed he looked worried, Soto let go of the animal and drank from the stream. "Hital what's wrong are u hurt?" Hital walked into the stream to wash the blood from his leg's, when all the blood washed away Soto saw that the blood was not all from the anima kill but he had scrapes and cut's allover his leg's." did this animal do that to you?" Hital shoke his head "No a small fox did". Soto's nose crinkled in distaste "what did u do to it?" Hital looked up toward the sky and seamed to roll his eye's " I kilt it" Soto looked back at the kill noticing the smaller claw mark's all over the carcus.Hital walked out of the water and pounced on the kill and began eating ravenously" that small animal was very viscous unlike the foxes from your home land" Hital spoke between mouthful's. Soto began to eat her hunger was much but her concern for her mate kept her from eating monstrously. "We must stay together when the pup's are born they're no telling what the fox might try", hearing this Soto felt angr and fear but knew Hital would let no harm come to her. After eating that night they settled down in a ditch they dug that would soon over more digging would be under ground for a den.

After almost a week the den was complete and so was the pregnancy. Soto kept her self deep in the den, she tried to fight the wave's of pain.Hital stayed near the surface but with in listening range , whining and whimpering and sharp howl's, hital could only anticipate what the pup's would look like and how many. After many hours into the night Soto gave birth to three pup's , all nearly naked with only small wisp's of fur two looked white and the other black, two girl's and a boy. Hital knew to keep his distance and he would have to till the pup's eye's opened, that would be about a week. His job would become very hard he had to provide food to Soto so she could nurse the pups. He knew he could do it but he thought it wise to get his friend's help.
