The early spring sun began to rise even higher into the blue cloud streaked sky. It was nearing noon and even though she had just eaten Kakasha's stomach echoed a growl as she began thinking of lifeâ€™s substance. She wondered if she could take a quick detour from her mission and find a quick snack, then shook her large wolf head as the woman of reason smacked her hard in the face and again went back to listening and smelling the area for odd scents or sounds. She was looking for the enemy even though she was certain she wouldn't find anyone, but you never know with these crafty claws. Just then a large pile of white powder snow fell on Kakasha's back and she had to stifle a howl and briskly shook off the earthâ€™s elements. "Damn frozen rain." She mumbled to herself as she stood where the pile had fallen on her and she looked around for a moment, listening to the sounds the world had to offer to her.<br/><br/><span style="color: #4040FF">Aderol watched from the darkness of the bushes, being sure to keep downwind of them. He whispered to one of his wolves, Cole, then watched as the young wolf split from his group to go and bait Kaskasha away from the other wolf. He wanted that one alone, because given the history that he and Kakasha shared he knew it would not be pretty. So, the plan was simple. Lead her away to play with Cole and then talk to the other wolf.  Cole ran a bit ahead of the large black wolf, jumping out into her path so that she got a look at him before he darted off into the thick underbrush. He was small and lightweight, often made him catch flack from the other males, except when he ran. He was fast, agile and his small frame made it so that he could squeeze into spots others, who were larger, would not be able to follow.</span><br/><br/>Her ears picked up a shuffling and then suddenly a light grey pelt skidded in front of her and sprinted away. Her new preys scent told her that, her soon to be victim was male, and not of her pack. A snarl emerged from her lips and she sped off as fast as she could with-out losing her footing.<span style="font-style: italic">â€œIâ€™m in pursuit of a claw, watch yourself and catch up to me, heâ€™s a quick little bastard.â€</span>She sent out to Seravi through their pack link and let out a warning howl to the rest of the pack. Kakasha didnâ€™t know how many others there were about, but she wanted them at the den to be on alert for an attack. With her message out there she put all her focus and energy on chasing down this enemy, she was hungry after all.<br/><br/>Another growl tore through her muzzle. This was meant to let him know he was hers and that she was going to rip out his throat. She wasn't too large in her wolf form but this guy was smaller, given his smaller advantage Kakasha was still hot on his tail and snapped at the few strands of fur she could almost get into her mouth. A sharp turn was coming up along their path that they were running and she knew she would lose him if she didn't do something drastic. Almost all of her thought had left her except for one. â€œShift and pummel him.â€  A quick grin lifted her muzzle and with a last effort of energy she pushed herself to her full speed and jumped towards the wolf.  She shifted mid stride to her bigger more human-ish form and was rather hopeful that her prey fell victim to her over-sized form. She squirmed a little and waited for the tell tail signs of the wolf being underneath her mass weight.<br/><br/><span style="color: #4040FF">Cole smirked as he allowed the female keep close, had he lost her that would have ruined the entire plan. When she nipped at his tail he just chuckled to himself, then sped forward the goal being to reach the bend and lose her. However, even in the dim light that was the forest, a shadow cast over his form, which caused him to look above him at the now rather large form of the female in her shifted form. Without much thought he reacted, slowing himself down till he slid for a bit but it was enough that she went sailing over his head. With a teasing bark, he jumped over her and continued on down the trail, his pace a trot as he expected her to get up and chase him again</span><br/><br/>A bark resounded behind her and she growled in frustration. She was sure she would of landed on the sucker. The light little thing jumped over her and she growled again as he taunted her. As she was about to charge after him, it donned on her.  â€œItâ€™s a trap.â€ She whispered to herself and spun on her heel and bolted the other direction of the light gray wolf. In mid-stride she shifted from her massive form to her sleek wolf one and put all her energy into running. She was sure the little grey punk was on her tail but she put everything into getting back to Seravi.<span style="font-style: italic">â€Seraviiii!! Iâ€™m on my way!â€</span>She yelled across their connection path.  Worry and frustration surged through her and another buzz of strength pulled at her limbs and her muscles bunched together even faster and she drove herself even further .
