Chapter Three: Watching You
Raven Skies yawned heavily as she glanced over toward her brother wolf that appeared to be sleeping; she let her breath become stilled as she listened. He was asleep. Raven Skies smiled at this. With just her alone she might be able to see more of this human camp with out getting caught, she would be able to sneak around a lot better with out her wolf companion. Her eyes then shifted to the bloody carcass only a few feet away from them, and her stomach rumbled. She was still hungry, but she would have to ignore instinct for right now. Midnight might wake any second now and she did not want to chance it
Silently and carefully, Raven Skies brought herself to her feet and started to pick her path through the wolf scent marked trail making sure not to disturb the silence. Once she was far enough away that she was sure her brother would not hear she picked up her speed not caring for snapping branches and crunching leaves beneath her feat.
Once she came with in a reasonable distance of the camp she stopped, taking the time to sniff out her wolf-kin. Raven Skies cursed her nose, her senses were better then the average human, but her senses are not better then the average wolves. She sighed, and headed in the direction her nose picked up the extremely faint scent of wolf. It wasn't long before she came upon two wolves guarding the camp. They had taken position when she and Midnight left to hunt and nap.
Raven Skies nuzzled Grey Wind's face with her left cheek in greeting. ~Little sister you still seem a little tired, if you would like a longer rest Teal and I would not mind watching these humans a while longer.~ The older wolf offered, his eyes taking in her from his resting place.
She shook her head slightly. ~That is quite all right, you and Teal should get some rest and maybe visit your pups.~ She smiled as she recalled the three little rescales. One was completely black named Ebony, the second a tan which they called Suka, and the third held both those colors mixed in with traces of white and she went by the name of Star Dust. Raven Skies loved them very much; whenever she had time she would visit the pups and play puppy games with them. These games usually consisted of tug-o-war and wrestling. ~I'm sure they miss you terribly, and when you see them tell 'em I said hi, all right?~ She titled he head sideways slightly as she peered down at them.
Grey Wind smiled a wolf smile, and nuzzled his mate affectionately. ~All right Raven Skies, but howl if you need anything we shunt be far.~ Once she nodded the two wolves stood on all fours and dashed out of sight.
Raven Skies decided she would go a little closer then normal since she had no wolves trailing her. She of course naturally smelt like a wolf, but it was considerably faint and the only time it were strong were when she was with other wolves. She sighed, she only hopped she didn't run in to any youkai while she watched the human camp. Raven Skies then shook her head, surely no youkai would attack a human camp that consisted of so many, but still she was slowly regretting leaving her companion back in the clearing.
Slowly very slowly Raven Skies crept along the bushes and shrubs with the utmost care, she did not want to disturb the silence. One wrong move, on cracked branch or shuttering of leaves might alert the hanyou to her location. The humans may not notice her presence, as they rarely did, but there have been a number of times when she was nearly caught by the Inu-youkai. Midnight would most likely scold her for this. He had the last time she had gotten a bit to close; the hanyou had picked up on her scent and went patrolling around the camp. They had to stay away from the human camp at lest a couple a days till the hanyou was no longer suspicious of their presence. Raven Skies often wondered what they could be looking for, she voiced this to Midnight and he had said with humans one may never know. She may have taken offense to this, but she didn't consider herself to be human to her she was just as much wolf as her brother and vise-versa. That was when for some strange reason, she did not know, the conversation she had with Midnight the other day came to mind.
Raven Skies had stood upon a hill that over looked the human camp, but her eyes were focused on the night sky. She had tried to observe the camp from here but could not hear nor see nothing, except tiny dots and fragments of the conversations the wind carried. Which wasn't much. ~Midnight what do you think so far, I still can not make a decision, what do you think of them?~ She asked curiously.
Midnight yawned, and then licked his chops as he lazily brought his eyes to face her, but her eyes were still firmly on the sky. ~Raven Skies, I do not trust those humans, there is something not quite right about them.~ He admitted sadly.
Raven Skies nodded. ~Hai, they may fallow their inu-youkai leaders say, but they do not respect him. I can tell by their movements and scents.~ She said in answer to the questioning look he gave her. ~One who does not respect their leader is not trust worthy.~ She spat out; as if she were trying to rid her self of a disgusting taste in her mouth.
Midnight chucked slightly at her comment. ~Sister, humans don't fallow a leader as they are their own leaders, or so father says.~ The wolf answered. ~Besides this Inu-youkai is not a leader, he is merely showing them through the forest, they fallow his orders because he is stronger. That is how it works in the human world, they weak fallow those who are stronger then them.~ Raven Skies nodded.
~It is sort of like a wolf back.~ She mused to herself. ~If someone were to challenge father and win they would be the new leader, but that would never happen.~ She added the last part in as an after thought. ~Midnight do you think I can trust the Inu-youkai, or what about one of the humans?~ She asked her brother quizzically.
Midnight contemplated this awhile before answering. ~The Inu-youkai is the natural enemy to wolf-youkai therefore making them our natural allies, but I can't be sure.~ He then rested his against her stomach as she lie down on her back in the grass. He was a hanyou, but he hadn't done anything to warrant him untrustworthy. ~I think you can, I smell nothing strange about him or that human that is always around him, but the others there is something wrong with there smell. It is bad, that's all I know.~ Then as an after thought added. ~Why are you asking this sister?~
She closed her eye briefly. ~I want to approach one of them, I am curious as to what they are like.~ She shook her head from side to side. ~Watching them from a distance is terribly boring, it might be a lot better if I show myself to them.~
Midnight's breath caught. ~Sister, I do not trust these humans yet, if you do show your self please make sure that I am right there with you.~ He demanded, she nodded slowly and let sleep take over.
Raven Skies shook herself from her thoughts as she came into sight of the campgrounds, and she could barely contain her excitement of what she found. No one was there, that meant she could explore the camp without getting caught. *I am sure Midnight won't mind, no one is here for me to worry about.* With that thought firmly in mind she walked out into the open, to have a look around before they returned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inuyasha sighed from his perch in his tree, these stupid wolves were keeping him on edge. Every night he has sensed them lurking around the camp watching them all, and it made him feel uneasy. A couple of time he has caught their golden eyes reflecting the moon light in the dark of night, and all times he has gone to investigate they would retreat forth back. This was getting rather annoying, what were these wolves waiting for? He questioned, him to leave so they could feast upon the camp full of humans. Well that wasn't about to happen anytime soon, that was all he needed for these stupid weaklings to be blaming the villagers deaths on him! He would not have the guilt, nor would have the act added to his track recorded. It was already long enough.
He stiffened when he sensed his monk friend coming nearer. Didn't he get the hint, he wanted to be along thus the reason he is so high in this tree right now. If he wanted to talk he would be down there. "Inuyasha!" The monk pouted, another thing he has had to deal with since the wolves started coming around. "I tell you there is a beautiful young woman with those wolves out there, I've seen her twice now, I swear." His voice was pleading with Inuyasha to believe him. He could only imagine what the monk's eyes looked like about now, but he refused to even look at them.
"Hai, I know this Miroku." He growled. "You've told me every day since you first had this stupid dream, and I don't want to here your perverted fantasies! Damn what happened to Sango being your one and only?" He questioned, his voice mocking.
Miroku paid no attention to it. "This was not a dream! Besides Sango is my one and only, one of these days I'll win her over." The monk got a dreamy faraway look in his eyes. Inuyasha sighed, throwing an acorn at his head snapping him out of it. Miroku glared at the Inu-boy. "Fine you know what I will prove it to you tonight!" The monk declared for he didn't know how many times, as he had lost count after twenty.
"Sure you will." Inuyasha taunted as he turned his back to Miroku.
"You'll see Inuyasha, the villagers are going to search the area for that Jewel thing and we'll be here all alone..." As he explained his plan to the hanyou he couldn't help but let a smile graces his features. This was going to work he was sure of it, why else would they be watching the camp all of the time?
It wasn't long before the villagers left, the sky pink with the setting sun. Miroku climbed Inuyasha's tree setting in the top branches next to the hanyou. "I don't even know why I'm doing this." He mumbled under his breath.
"Oh, Inuyasha don't be such a stick in the mud." The monk scolded. "You just know that your young and I'm right, that's all." Miroku winced when he felt Inuyasha's fist connect with his skull, he should have known better then to provoke his hanyou friend. Miroku opted to stay quite as his eyes scanned the darkening campgrounds as the sun slowly faded from the skies. They sat in this tree for what seemed like hours, Miroku's butt was beginning to hurt and he was starting to worry about this plan of his not working. Just as he was about to lose hope a figure camp into view, Miroku had to squint to see it and his breath caught. Just as he suspected, the girl was dressed in nothing more then a bearskin. It looked like she cut a hole in the middle and stuck her head in it letting the sides hang loosely on either side of her, if she moved just right he could see in between the material. Oh, right she had raven colored hair and long slender cream-colored legs and he couldn't see her eyes clearly as bangs covered her eyes. He gabbed the hanyou in the side and pointed to the girl, Inuyasha's eyes opened wide in disbelief. "I told you it wasn't a dream, he do think she is the reason the wolves have been watching us?"
Inuyasha nodded dumbly as he watched the girl take in everything with curious eyes. Her movements were so graceful, so carefully, that one could tell she was trying to be discreet. "It's possible." He whispered, while he watched the girl in front of him. She walked from one thing to the next her eyes never staying in one place to long, her nose twitched as she brought every thing to her nose to sniff it, and then she would sniff the air. Yes, she was definitely raised by wolves. A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips, she looked like a curious little puppy. Inuyasha stood and Jumped toward her despite Miroku's frantic protests, landing right in front of the girl.
Raven Skies heard someone fall in front of her, her eyes shot up from the strange object in her hands to come into contact with the deep pools of amber. She gasped dropping the thing, jumping back a few feet, growling deep in her throat. He didn't seem too affected by her show; her right hand went directly underneath her bearskins. *Damn, I must have forgot my fang with Midnight.* She cursed herself mentally. Raven Skies settled for growling warnings at the hanyou. ~Stay back Inu-youkai, I'll kill you if you get any closer~ She bared her teeth trying to look more threatening, but by the smirk on his face it wasn't working. Raven Skies tried to suppress the fear that was bubbling in her stomach, would he kill her for snooping about his camp? She wondered curiously.
Inuyasha had to try hard not to laugh at the threat this girl gave as she jumped back; he couldn't help but compare her to a pup again. ~I have no intention of getting any closer.~ He laughed, he didn't know much wolf but he knew a little. ~But you better tell me what you're doing here.~ He demanded. It wasn't long before Miroku came on to the scene, he would have never noticed him if it weren't for the fact that the girl nearly jumped three feet into the air as Miroku groped her. She got into a position were she could watch both, and act if she needed too. "Miroku..." Inuyasha growled as he hit him over the head. "She doesn't even know what your doing, hentai." He scolded, the monk smiled sheepishly as he bowed his head apologetically to the girl though she didn't seem to understand.
Raven Skies watched the two before her with interest; the Inu-youkai hit the other human over the head and growled something she couldn't understand. She looked from to the two before answering the hanyou's earlier question. ~I am human, the wolves say I should be with other humans.~ She explained waiting for a response. The hanyou nodded, for some reason she didn't feel fear around them any longer, instead she felt safe. Raven Skies relaxed a bit, and didn't feel the need to be on the defensive. Carefully she got closer to the hanyou, what was it exactly he was wearing anyways. It wasn't anything like what she was wearing, and it was nothing like the fur wolves wear.
Inuyasha started to get nervous as she got closer and closer to him, looking at him intently. Eventually the girl got close enough to reach out and touch him, which she did, her hands shot out to grip his red hoari. She examined the red material closely, her eyes scanning over the whole thing, her hands ran along it until she found two intersecting pieces and began to pull them apart just to see how far they would go. By this time Inuyasha was so read a tomato would be jealous, he gulp as his heart was in his throat, why was he so nervous. *Oh gee I don't know, maybe because she's basically trying to undress you!* His mind shouted.
Miroku watched the interaction with interest, it was quite funny. Inuyasha was so red, and the girl seemed to not know why as she stopped to examine his face looking at it questioningly and then continued on with trying to see how far she could pull the two pieces to the side. Miroku was having a heck of a time trying to keep in his laughed her, his face was read and his shoulders shook with silent laughter. Inuyasha shot him a glare, and he couldn't help it. "Inuyasha It would seen our wolf woman her has taken a liking to you."
Inuyasha shot him another glare. "Monk, shut up!" He yelled and then tried to pry her hands off his hoari, growling slightly. Her eyes stared up at him questioningly, wondering what it was she did wrong. She let go, and titled her head up licking underneath of his chin asking for forgiveness silently. If it were at all possible Inuyasha turned even redder then before.
A giant grin split the monk's face in two. "Should I leave you two alone, Inuyasha?" He asked curiously trying as hard as possible to keep the humor out of his voice to no avail.
"Monk I told you to shut up." He growled, he knew what the girl was doing. ~Look humans don't lick the underside of someone's chin when they want forgiveness, alright, they just say sorry and the human will either except or not.~ He explained.
Raven Skies nodded slowly. ~I understand, I am sorry for what I did.~ She told him, a hint of uncertainty in her voice. She didn't know what it was she did to cause him to be so upset.
~You didn't do anything wrong.~ He assured with a sigh. ~It's the stupid monk over there.~
Miroku glanced between the two curiously. "You know all this growling, yipping, and whining you two are doing is really starting to freak me out."
Inuyasha turned toward the monk. "Get use to it Miroku, she was raised by wolves its the only thing she can speak."
"Can't you tell me what she's saying at lest?" He pleaded.
Inuyasha shook his head. "No!" He stated firmly. "I'm not a translator."
"Awe, come on."
"No."
Raven Skies watched the as they argued about who knows what, she couldn't understand a thing. That's when she noticed it. The two triangular shaped ears on top of the hanyou's head, they were like wolf ears. This was the first time she took in the Inu-youkai's appearance, he looked like a wolf and then human kind of. He had the golden eyes, the ears, the claws and the fangs even long white hair... But then maybe white hair wasn't rare among humans. She wasn't sure if all Inu-youkai looked like this or not, the only youkai she has ever seen were lesser youkai like spider heads and centipedes, and other things like that. Nothing so strong that she couldn't handle on her own, but this hanyou wasn't something she could handle on her own, but somehow she felt as if he wouldn't harm her.
Raven Skies watched his ears as they swiveled about with unblinking eyes as he and the human growled at each other. For some reason the wolf-human felt the need to tackle the hanyou, to grab those ears and play with them like a pup would do with it's siblings. Without even thinking about her actions Raven Skies tackled the hanyou sending them both to the ground, Inuyasha was so stunned he didn't even try to stop his fall. She scooted herself up a bit and began to message his ears like she would do with the pups of her wolf pack, hopping to produce the same reaction. She smiled when the Inu-hanyou began to make a purring sound deep within his throat. As much as Inuyasha didn't want to admit it, her rubbing his ears like this felt kind of good.
Miroku watched the scene before him with mild amusement. The girl had guts for grabbing his ears like that; he'd seen Inuyasha kill a man for doing it before. He was more then surprised when he did nothing and began purring. He was enjoying himself; Miroku would never let his poor hanyou friend live this one down. "Awe, how cute, Inuyasha I didn't know you can purr." Miroku told him a cute sounding voice, barely able to hide his humor.
Inuyasha stood suddenly, sending the girl to the ground. She glared at the monk, some how she had known it was his fault; somehow he found that to be creepy. Miroku shrugged it off. "I do not purr." He stated firmly. "Not another word, Miroku." He growled as his monk friend opened his trap, he shut it with an audible click.
After a few moments Miroku gained the courage to speak. "So what are we going to do with her?" He questioned, raising his brow a bit to the Inu-hanyou.
Inuyasha shrugged. "I guess take her to Keade." Miroku nodded as if accepting this.
There was a snapping sound off in the distance, Raven Skies' back straightened, her nose sniffing the scents in the air. *Midnight said not to trust the other humans.* She thought sadly, getting on all fours she ran off into the woods yelling over her shoulder. ~I'll be back.~
They two stared dumbfounded at the place where she left too, that is till the scent and sound of the villagers caught his sense. He then understood why she left so abruptly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven Skies ran back up too the hill where she and Midnight were staying and watching the camp from above. It didn't take long for her to get there; she was nearly tackled by Midnight as he greeted her. ~Sister you had me worried when I woke to find you gone.~ He informed taking in her scent. ~Why do you smell of the Inu-youkai?~
She blushed a bit. ~I spoke with the hanyou, and his friend Midnight that is why I smell of them.~ She explained, he silent gaze encouraged her to go on. Sighing sadly she went on. ~I don't know why but I feel I can trust those two, I think I will go with them Midnight.~
Midnight nodded sadly as he scooted over so that he was resting in her lap. ~I will be sad to see you go sister.~
~As will I be sad to leave, but don't worry I will visit.~ Raven Skies declared. ~Come on brother I am staving lets hunt.~ Her gaze searched the grass until they rested up her fang. It was a rock that she had sharpened to be as sharp as a real wolf's fang, and that is how it worked for her. Standing from her place she dashed off in search of pray.

She walked from one thing to the next her eyes never staying in one place to long, her nose twitched as she brought every thing to her nose to sniff it, and then she would sniff the air. Yes, she was definitely raised by wolves. A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips, she looked like a curious little puppy. Inuyasha stood and Jumped toward her despite Miroku's frantic protests, landing right in front of the girl.
Raven Skies heard someone fall in front of her, her eyes shot up from the strange object in her hands to come into contact with the deep pools of amber. She gasped dropping the thing, jumping back a few feet, growling deep in her throat. He didn't seem too affected by her show; her right hand went directly underneath her bearskins. *Damn, I must have forgot my fang with Midnight.* She cursed herself mentally. Raven Skies settled for growling warnings at the hanyou. ~Stay back Inu-youkai, I'll kill you if you get any closer~ She bared her teeth trying to look more threatening, but by the smirk on his face it wasn't working. Raven Skies tried to suppress the fear that was bubbling in her stomach, would he kill her for snooping about his camp? She wondered curiously.
Inuyasha had to try hard not to laugh at the threat this girl gave as she jumped back; he couldn't help but compare her to a pup again. ~I have no intention of getting any closer.~ He laughed, he didn't know much wolf but he knew a little. ~But you better tell me what you're doing here.~ He demanded. It wasn't long before Miroku came on to the scene, he would have never noticed him if it weren't for the fact that the girl nearly jumped three feet into the air as Miroku groped her. She got into a position were she could watch both, and act if she needed too. "Miroku..." Inuyasha growled as he hit him over the head. "She doesn't even know what your doing, hentai." He scolded, the monk smiled sheepishly as he bowed his head apologetically to the girl though she didn't seem to understand.
Raven Skies watched the two before her with interest; the Inu-youkai hit the other human over the head and growled something she couldn't understand. She looked from to the two before answering the hanyou's earlier question. ~I am human, the wolves say I should be with other humans.~ She explained waiting for a response. The hanyou nodded, for some reason she didn't feel fear around them any longer, instead she felt safe. Raven Skies relaxed a bit, and didn't feel the need to be on the defensive. Carefully she got closer to the hanyou, what was it exactly he was wearing anyways. It wasn't anything like what she was wearing, and it was nothing like the fur wolves wear.
Inuyasha started to get nervous as she got closer and closer to him, looking at him intently. Eventually the girl got close enough to reach out and touch him, which she did, her hands shot out to grip his red hoari. She examined the red material closely, her eyes scanning over the whole thing, her hands ran along it until she found two intersecting pieces and began to pull them apart just to see how far they would go. By this time Inuyasha was so read a tomato would be jealous, he gulp as his heart was in his throat, why was he so nervous. *Oh gee I don't know, maybe because she's basically trying to undress you!* His mind shouted.
Miroku watched the interaction with interest, it was quite funny. Inuyasha was so red, and the girl seemed to not know why as she stopped to examine his face looking at it questioningly and then continued on with trying to see how far she could pull the two pieces to the side. Miroku was having a heck of a time trying to keep in his laughed her, his face was read and his shoulders shook with silent laughter. Inuyasha shot him a glare, and he couldn't help it. "Inuyasha It would seen our wolf woman her has taken a liking to you."
Inuyasha shot him another glare. "Monk, shut up!" He yelled and then tried to pry her hands off his hoari, growling slightly. Her eyes stared up at him questioningly, wondering what it was she did wrong. She let go, and titled her head up licking underneath of his chin asking for forgiveness silently. If it were at all possible Inuyasha turned even redder then before.
A giant grin split the monk's face in two. "Should I leave you two alone, Inuyasha?" He asked curiously trying as hard as possible to keep the humor out of his voice to no avail.
"Monk I told you to shut up." He growled, he knew what the girl was doing. ~Look humans don't lick the underside of someone's chin when they want forgiveness, alright, they just say sorry and the human will either except or not.~ He explained.
Raven Skies nodded slowly. ~I understand, I am sorry for what I did.~ She told him, a hint of uncertainty in her voice. She didn't know what it was she did to cause him to be so upset.
~You didn't do anything wrong.~ He assured with a sigh. ~It's the stupid monk over there.~
Miroku glanced between the two curiously. "You know all this growling, yipping, and whining you two are doing is really starting to freak me out."
Inuyasha turned toward the monk. "Get use to it Miroku, she was raised by wolves its the only thing she can speak."
"Can't you tell me what she's saying at lest?" He pleaded.
Inuyasha shook his head. "No!" He stated firmly. "I'm not a translator."
"Awe, come on."
"No."
Raven Skies watched the as they argued about who knows what, she couldn't understand a thing. That's when she noticed it. The two triangular shaped ears on top of the hanyou's head, they were like wolf ears. This was the first time she took in the Inu-youkai's appearance, he looked like a wolf and then human kind of. He had the golden eyes, the ears, the claws and the fangs even long white hair... But then maybe white hair wasn't rare among humans. She wasn't sure if all Inu-youkai looked like this or not, the only youkai she has ever seen were lesser youkai like spider heads and centipedes, and other things like that. Nothing so strong that she couldn't handle on her own, but this hanyou wasn't something she could handle on her own, but somehow she felt as if he wouldn't harm her.
Raven Skies watched his ears as they swiveled about with unblinking eyes as he and the human growled at each other. For some reason the wolf-human felt the need to tackle the hanyou, to grab those ears and play with them like a pup would do with it's siblings. Without even thinking about her actions Raven Skies tackled the hanyou sending them both to the ground, Inuyasha was so stunned he didn't even try to stop his fall. She scooted herself up a bit and began to message his ears like she would do with the pups of her wolf pack, hopping to produce the same reaction. She smiled when the Inu-hanyou began to make a purring sound deep within his throat. As much as Inuyasha didn't want to admit it, her rubbing his ears like this felt kind of good.
Miroku watched the scene before him with mild amusement. The girl had guts for grabbing his ears like that; he'd seen Inuyasha kill a man for doing it before. He was more then surprised when he did nothing and began purring. He was enjoying himself; Miroku would never let his poor hanyou friend live this one down. "Awe, how cute, Inuyasha I didn't know you can purr." Miroku told him a cute sounding voice, barely able to hide his humor.
Inuyasha stood suddenly, sending the girl to the ground. She glared at the monk, some how she had known it was his fault; somehow he found that to be creepy. Miroku shrugged it off. "I do not purr." He stated firmly. "Not another word, Miroku." He growled as his monk friend opened his trap, he shut it with an audible click.
After a few moments Miroku gained the courage to speak. "So what are we going to do with her?" He questioned, raising his brow a bit to the Inu-hanyou.
Inuyasha shrugged. "I guess take her to Keade." Miroku nodded as if accepting this.
There was a snapping sound off in the distance, Raven Skies' back straightened, her nose sniffing the scents in the air. *Midnight said not to trust the other humans.* She thought sadly, getting on all fours she ran off into the woods yelling over her shoulder. ~I'll be back.~
They two stared dumbfounded at the place where she left too, that is till the scent and sound of the villagers caught his sense. He then understood why she left so abruptly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven Skies ran back up too the hill where she and Midnight were staying and watching the camp from above. It didn't take long for her to get there; she was nearly tackled by Midnight as he greeted her. ~Sister you had me worried when I woke to find you gone.~ He informed taking in her scent. ~Why do you smell of the Inu-youkai?~
She blushed a bit. ~I spoke with the hanyou, and his friend Midnight that is why I smell of them.~ She explained, he silent gaze encouraged her to go on. Sighing sadly she went on. ~I don't know why but I feel I can trust those two, I think I will go with them Midnight.~
Midnight nodded sadly as he scooted over so that he was resting in her lap. ~I will be sad to see you go sister.~
~As will I be sad to leave, but don't worry I will visit.~ Raven Skies declared. ~Come on brother I am staving lets hunt.~ Her gaze searched the grass until they rested up her fang. It was a rock that she had sharpened to be as sharp as a real wolf's fang, and that is how it worked for her. Standing from her place she dashed off in search of pray.
