Chapter 2
Ryuu
Ryuu stomped out of his tent and growled with annoyance, No one understands me! Ryuu growled and started to head out of the camp.
A small young boy with messy brown hair and gold eyes grabbed his sleeve, "Ryuu I know you're leaving so hereā¦" the boy placed his dusty fingers against Ryuu's forehead and muttered some words under his breath. "You now know the basics of healing," the boy said unblinking.
"Thanks Seiji I am extremely grateful," Ryuu said ruffling the small boy's hair.
The Boy looked up at his older brother sadly, "I know you just need some time to yourself but I'll meet you at the cave between territories so see you."
Ryuu nodded changed into his fox form and disappeared into the forest.
The storm came out of nowhere Ryuu fought against the pull of the powerful wind that was threatening to push him off the cliff. The young Vulpis staggered to a smaller cliff and jumped into the water. Having grown up in the forest Vulpis Ignis' were excellent swimmers, Ryuu was one of the most powerful swimmers in his Tribe so this was no problem.
Ryuu staggered onto the land of the shore he blinked between the pouring rains he could make out a cave he changed back to his normal form and ran into the cave. It was dark and damp Ryuu summoned fire and walked in deeper ahead of him he could make out a figure leaning on the cave wall; Ryuu ran over to the figure and leaned down. It was a girl who looked about his age 19 with black hair and fur, Its one of the Ice Tribe!, Ryuu realized he looked her over again. Her clothes were messy and damp and she looked half-drowned, Ryuu snorted She must of fallen off a cliff and dragged herself to this cave, I shouldn't be surprised Lupus Glacialis' can't swim properly. Ryuu leaned down and put his ear on her chest her heart was still beating and he could feel the rise and fall of her chest. She probably has hypothermia she'll die if she doesn't get warm. Ryuu grabbed the pack that he had brought and pulled out a blanket and one of the futon pillows that he had brought. He wrapped her in the blanket and set her head on the pillow. Noticing the branches in the corner of the cave he gathered them up and started a fire. He had just laid his head down on his own makeshift bed when he heard a startled gasp. He lifted his head and saw the girl who was now awake staring at him with the most startling amber eyes Ryuu had ever seen.
