Enola expertly dodged the foot that had suddenly appeared to the right of her head as Leiko launched at her. She reached up with her right hand to catch Leiko midair and throw her back to the ground where she had started. "You have much to learn yet child" she chided, once more getting back into position for Leiko to launch at her once more.
"Sensei! How am I supposed to strike you if you keep moving!" Leiko panted from her position on the ground, standing up and knocking the dust from her tail. Several of the other kits present snickered as they viewed the sparing between their teacher and clan mate.
"You can't expect your prey to stand still young one. What kind of training would you get on a stationary target?"
"Enola! Bring the kits to safety! There is an emergency in the territory" A yellow kitsune came running into the clearing where the kits were being trained.
"Hiroto?! What has happened?"
"Human. He is somehow resisting and is unable to be contained. Kurama is handling the situation, but we must prepare for the worst. Bring the kits to safety. Kurama has ordered everyone to shelter"
Enola acknowledged Hiroto's message with a yip. The yellow messenger continued down the path to spread the order to anyone who had not received the message yet.
"Come kits, training has been cancelled for the day"
Leiko trailed at the back as the group was moving out the clearing. She glanced over her shoulder to see her grandfather had taken his full form and the tip of his nine tails could be seen over the treetops.
Something just doesn't seem right with this situation...
