The sun high shone brightly in the sky, bringing out the colour in the ocean of rainbows as the flowers swayed gently in the wind. The singing of birds echoed around the bright green forest as a young figure appeared running through it, her hand outstretched and a headband tied around her eyes. As Fukuko rushed on, she tripped over a tree root and fell flat on her face.
Ow! I clutched my nose tightly as I felt warm blood trailed down my hands. Lucky it wasn't broken, but if I continue like this, I'll bleed to death!
"I'm such a klutz" I moaned dragging myself to the tree base and sitting down in front of it. "Why do these things always happen to me?!"
I froze suddenly as I heard the rustling of a bush behind me. As a low growl reached my ears I screamed and turned around.
"DON'T HARM ME!" I screamed at the thing, "I SWEAR I'LL FIND THAT PHONE AGAIN JUST DON'T-!"
Silence. I paused lowering my hands from my nearly broken nose. I couldn't hear the footsteps of an approaching person even though my screams may have deafened it.
I rubbed my hands on the dew covered grass trying to clear away the blood and held one out carefully.
"If you're not a human" I whispered, moving my hand slowly. "Then you must be a hungry little creature"
My hand stopped as I felt a soft fluffy fur beneath my fingertips. The creature moved out of the way suddenly as though scared.
I knelt down keeping my movements to a minimum, "Don't worry" I said gently, "I won't harm you."
It took me three seconds to release what I said. I may not want to harm it . . . but it may harm me.
By this time it was too late. I giggled as I felt its small tongue licking at my bloody hands.
It placed its paws on my arm and continued to lick hungrily at the blood.
I winched as I felt its sharp claws digging into my skin. Well, at less it's not eating me.
"So," I smiled after it finished, "What type of creature would you be?"
It let out a light growl again sounding almost like a bark.
"Great" I said nervously, "You're a wolf cub"
It jumped onto my lap and snuggled up close to me. I said frozen unsure what to do.
Slowly I began to stroke it lightly. If the poor thing was left wondering here on its own starving, then its mother may have abandoned it or maybe she was. . .
I cuddled it gently; "I'll look after you" I smiled down at it.
With the tiny wolf cub cuddled against me like a hot water bottle that licks, I closed my eyes and begun to get the well needed sleep I needed.
"Ready to leave?" asked a young silvered haired man wearing the same mask and white outfit as the browned haired girl who approached him.
"Hai" Fukuko replied her hand held tightly on the sword handle on her back.
"Let's go"
The man preformed many hand-signs before placing his gloved hand on the ground. In a puff of smoke, several summoned dogs appeared.
"What's the mission?" asked the small pug.
"Search the area" Was the order, "For any signs of them"
"Right" the pug replied. The dogs all stood up and ran off in directions.
I was suddenly woken by the cub growling angrily in my arms. I covered its mouth as I too heard the voices.
"Where could she been un?"
"Just like you to lose her Deidara" came the cranky voice dude again, "You were meant to keep her prisoner and you already let her escape twice!"
"But Danna-" Deidara whined, "She took me by surprise that time, and besides, she didn't look that smart"
"Never underestimate people" The Danna replied still annoyed.
I stood silently up again my heart beating wildly. The cub stayed silently in my arms.
"Let's spilt up un" Deidara suggested.
"We already have into teams" Danna said annoyed, "We can't split up anymore"
Great, I silently crept away until their voices were gone. Not only do I have them after me, but I have the rest of them too.
I held closer onto the cub, I needed a new plan, one which I could use to escape all of them and not get caught.
"What do you think?" I whispered to the cub, "You got any good ideas?"
I felt its tail wagging slightly as it yelped. It leapt down from my arms and yelped again. I paused for a moment before following it. The cub continued to yelp so I could follow and dodge the trees.
Great, outsmarted by a wolf cub.
After a moment of blindly walking, the cub suddenly bit at my shoe trying to pull me towards something. I held my hand outstretched and felt the rough outline of a large hole in a tree.
Ok, maybe not quite outsmarted.
I rubbed my neck laughing lightly, "Sorry," I said bending down and patting it on the head. "I won't fit in there"
The cub growled and I felt its fur stand on end. Before I could turn I felt a large thud at the back of my head and I fell down to the ground unconscious.
