As soon as Shichi started to sneak up, Mitsuko asked the bushes and the trees silently to rustle as if a cold wind was going through them. They accepted his request and also creaked like an old house would. The bushes around the little fox started to look more thorny without scartching the little one. Vines started to slither out, a tree branch looked like it would come down and grab the couple. And then Shichi jumped out looking as spooky as possible. A great climax indeed.
