Himeko lets out a small yelp, as a black wolf approaches her asking her business, in the forest she wandered into. She lowers her head, scared.
"I was just, playing..." She puts on a face of bravery as she looks at the wolf.
"What did you say this place was called? The Forest of Blood? Why is that?" She asked, almost casually. She gave off a mysterious feeling around her.

[MangaArtist15]

"Uh, well..." Hikaru stuttered, shocked that she would ask such a question. "This forest is called the 'Forest of Blood' because of the fact that many warriors died here in battle. A-and, then there's..." He trailed off, frightened at a shocking memory that came into his mind.

[Malikoy]

Grifhan was slowly walking around the forest, looking for another of his kind, a female.
Suddenly the sight of a Wolf and a Cat caught his attention, he approached the wolf.

"Safe? What makes you think you are safe here?"

[Opposition]

Himeko seemed intrigued. She stood back up onto her fours and moved towards Hikaru slightly. Himeko looked up and gave him a curious look.
"Then there's what?" She questioned.
"It is quite alright if you do not wish to talk about it." As she spoke, she smiled up at Hikaru, giving off a warming vibe, as though she was harmless and made him feel safe.
She then notices the lion, giving her a sense of fear. She sat back down facing the lion, her fearing seemingly disappearing as she spoke.
"Why hello there, sir. What do you mean? Am I not safe in this beautiful forest?" She gives off the same happy and comforting vibe to Grifhan as she smiles up at him.

"Well, um..." Hikaru paused. Then sighed. "I'm an escapee from a v-very bad group. One of their members, a.. A commander, was very ruthless."

[Opposition]

"Oh, I believe I have... heard of those groups. But doesn't that mean I should be scared of you as well?" She stands back up, getting up really close to Hikaru. She seems to be friendly and of no threat.

[MangaArtist15]

Hikaru wouldn't stop reliving those horrible moments in his mind. He continued. "No.. The one you should be scared of... Is Kasai. T-the Demon." Hikaru's voice was faltering as a small barrage of tears rolled down his cheeks. "H-he.. Ate some of the friends I made.. All because they disobeyed him. T-they were planning to escape for years, and sat around doing nothing for the group. So he..."

[Opposition]

Himeko seems extremely intrigued, but she sympathizes with him. She comforts him, by rubbing the side of his coat lightly.
"He sounds horrid! I can see why you left, but what will you do now?"

[MangaArtist15]

"Well..." Hikaru said, regaining his composure. "I-I'm a rouge. A-and I want to keep others from making the same mistake I did--" Hikaru suddenly turned around as he caught a familiar scent.

A wolf-like figure appeared near the edge of the forest, his body a silhouette because of the harsh sunlight. "Well, well, well..." the figure chuckled, the metal around his claws gleaming. "You say that she should be scared of him? That guy?"

"Ash..." Hikaru crouched, his eyes glowing bright green.

[Opposition]

Steps in front of Hikaru, smiling at 'Ash'. She sits down and stares up at the much larger silhouette.
"Hello there, sir. What's your name?" Himeko seemed the least bit afraid, standing between the two large wolves.

[MangaArtist15]

Ash looked at her, unfazed. He raised his metal claws. They were stained with blood near the edges. Apparently, Ash had been busy. The malevolent wolf brought them down towards Himeko in an attempt to kill her.

(SO sorry for the double-post! My 3DS is acting up!)

[Opposition]

Himeko lets out a quiet gasp and stumbles backwards, narrowly avoiding the claw. She stays there not moving after the first strike, she looked appalled.
"Hey, why would you do that?" She looks up at the wolf towering above her.

[Minarawr]

Mina had been resting when a sudden smell reached her, the all to familiar scent of blood.
Along with the blood was the scent of a canine and a feline, but the air around her suddenly felt chilly.
Something was definitely off, she could feel it in her bones, it made her skin crawl.
She got up and searched for the source of the smell finding it nearby, not more than 5 minutes away.
With a deep sigh she jumped up, leaping from branch to branch to reach the source of the smell.

She reached the location shortly after and perched herself on a high branch above the group, which she could now smell clearly. The big wolf, the one who reaked of blood, send shivers down her spine and made her fur stand on end. Whoever the others were, especially the young feline, they should get away as quick as possible.

Axle hears a fight in the distance, "You want to save someone, follow me." Axle say getting into battle mode. Running toward the noise.

[Opposition]

Himeko keeps the smile on her face, sensing people around as she stares up at Ash. Her senses still calm, but she does not move, not knowing of what to do.

"So, where are you headed, Axle?" Hikaru turned to the fox. "And who are you? What do you mean 'here to save us'?"

"I am here to take you away to a land of pure imagaination. where i swear to you that we shall be kings and lesser kings of the world. of course i sall lead our charge and become a god like being praised by all of you. but at least we shall be free" his back fire was waving at a tremodos pace and was getting ready to bolt/pounce as more animals joined in

[MangaArtist15]

"Hey, leave her out of this!" Hikaru leaped at Ash, the sunlight in the area forming into four swords made of the most divine, golden light. He attacked Ash, who swiftly dodged and delivered a quick blow to Hikaru. The black wolf sensed this, and made one of the swords go up for a block. The blade disappeared in a flash of light as Hikaru made more and more as the fight went on. Sparks flew from the strengths of both wolves as they were locked in claw-to-Hissatsu combat. Hikaru gasped as he managed to knock Ash backwards. He fell down onto the ground, choking for air, his chest heaving up and down.

"Feeling tired?" Ash laughed, holding up a metallic set of claws. He swiped Hikaru's leg open, leaving three, long claw marks on it. Hikaru let out a guttural scream as his own red blood trickled out of the open wound, staining the forest floor.

[Minarawr]

Mina watched as the two big wolves locked into combat, flashes erupting from their battle. Mina flinched a bit at the harsh light that erupted from the black wolf's attack, but kept a steady eye on the battle. The wolves she did not trust at all, but the feline shouldn't be here. She was young and innocent, Mina didn't want her to get killed in this fight that did not actually concern her.

[MangaArtist15]

"Now then... Your turn, princess." Ash looks at Himeko, intending to murder her and everyone in the Forest of Blood. He leaps towards the small cat, his jagged, metal claws inches away from her face.

(Sorry, did I just godmod? I'm giving Himeko a chance to escape, so.. Is it godmodding? If it is, I'm sorry.)
