(Ok, just to explain some things that I thought of but kept forgetting to tell you. Cats with -rīdā at the end of their names are leaders, because in Japanese rīdā means leader. The term Rīdākirā means Leader Killer or Slayer/Killer of Leaders in Japanese. Why I have Japanese word/meanings in this? You will find that out later. I also forgot to mention that Mudfur is a very seasoned warrior ^_^ Anyway, onwards with the story!)

The patrol had only been gone for two days, and already they were in total chaos. Mudfur repeatedly annoyed and picked fights with each them, Longclaw was forever snarky and stuck up and Whitethunder and Autumnspot just couldn't keep their claws off each other. Longclaw had, yet again, broken up another one of their fights and they hadn't been away from their camp from last night for five minutes! The only word that passed through her mind as she looked Whitethunder and Autumnspot over was kits. Autumnspot had a deep gash on his left arm and Whitethunder had a long and deep claw mark over his face.

They both glared and hissed at each other and prepared to lunge each other again, but Longclaw snarled at them, her long sharp claws glaring at them harshly under the sunlight. "I have had enough of your kitten spats! It is really working under my fur to the point where I dream about sinking my claws into your necks and watching you both bleed to death! Stop this mindless fighting now or so help me Sunclan will lose a warrior and Moonclan will lose a deputy!"

Whitethunder glared at her and bared his fangs. "You dare threaten me?! Do you want to wage another war between your clan and mines, because I am pretty sure your clan suffered more from a lot of warriors."

Longclaw walked up until she was nose to nose with him. "Your father maybe afraid of you, your brother and sister maybe afraid of you, great Skyclan even my leader and all the clans in the forest maybe afraid of you, but I. AM. NOT. I am not afraid to face you in battle and I'm not afraid to kill you or be killed by you, so don't roar at me and expect me to cower in fear, because I won't!"

Whitethunder growled at her and Mudfur laughed. Everyone turned to Mudfur with death glares, but the kit didn't care. She only laughed harder and fell over on her side.

Autumnspot watched her while shaking his head. "Sandclan cats are always looney. It creeps me out."

Longclaw snorted. "They don't even have a brain, Autumnspot. What did you expect?" "At least to pretend to be serious a once? Sandclan never do take things seriously. To think they had survived after all these moons as the wisest cats in the forest."

Mudfur wasn't laughing now, but she was still a giggling mess. She sloppily stood up, occasions twitching and letting small giggles out before she looked at them. Her yellow eyes shone in amusement. "Why must you fight? You two" she nodded towards Whitethunder and Autumnspot, "are going after the same thing. Shouldn't you two be working together to find her? Me and Longclaw are only here to tag along and help. And you," she glares at Whitethunder, "stop acting like a kit! This excessive arguing and fighting is making my head hurt!" Whitethunder opened his mouth to protest but Mudfur continued. "I don't care if he starts them, you are older than him by at least three moons! You should be a more mature tom than him. Let him act like a kit by his self!"

Whitethunder opened and closed his mouth several times. Autumnspot tried and failed to hide his amusement in Whitethunder's reaction, though he was a still annoyed at being called a kit. Though when he thought about it, he had to admit that it was a bit kittenish of him. That made him frown. Well, father had been right about one thing of him after all.

Longclaw yowled her relief and agreement to the scolding and took a deep breath. "Finally! Some order in this group! Now if we are done with the nagging, we need to keep moving. At the rate we are going, this will take three moons, not two."

Whitethunder snapped at her. "I am the leader of this group, so you will follow MY order, not yours."

Longclaw hissed and grumbled under her breath white shaking her head. Mudfur turned into another fur ball of giggles and Autumnspot rolled his eyes. "I fear for Moonclan's safety when you become leader."

Whitethunder snapped at him before he started trotting off. Autumnspot chuckled in victory and followed him, tail held high. Longclaw and Mudfur shook their heads and followed, Mudfur still occasionally giggling.
