"Can't catch me nii-sans!"
A small child raced through the woods on all fours, three large wolves right behind her.
"This kid's fast!" The third oldest, Kai, panted- scurrying across the snow."But not fast enough!" His older brother, Takeo, yelled charging ahead only to trip over a log.
With a laugh, the oldest of the four leaped over his brother and raced after his human sister.
"You guys are wimps!" Kurai laughed, taunting his brothers' before tackling the child. "Can't even catch a pup!""Aw no fair!" Kai whined, glaring at the two. "Rita how you come you always let HIM, catch you?"
"I don't, kya." The little girl replied, blowing her silver bangs out of her face. "Gerroff me Kurai-nii!"The black and red wolf got off of her and swaggered off a few steps. "I can catch her because I can run. I mean- c'mon! I'm gonna be the next alpha! I have the speed! The charm! The looks! The elegance! The-"
"Arrogance." Takeo supplied with a snicker.
"I'll get you for that!" Kurai growled, chasing his brother around a tree.
Rita and Kai watched the scene eagerly, cheering on their siblings."I got a pound of deer meat that says Takeo nails him!" Kai shouted eagerly.
"You're on, kya! Get 'im Kurai-nii!"
Takeo bounced off the tree and tried to jump Kurai, but missed and faceplanted into the snow. Quickly, is brother caught him by the tail and tossed the smaller wolf into the air.
"WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA-" Takeo wailed as he was flung into some nearby bushes."That was too easy." Kurai sighed, shaking his head.
"I won, Kai-nii! I won!" Rita squealed, jumping up and down.
"Uh... l forgot....." Kai muttered, backing away. "I gave the meat to Ruko...."
Takeo scrambled out of the bushes, shaking snow from his fur. "C'mon Kai! Give the kid a prize. You made the bet in the first place!"
"Yeah, cuz I didn't think you would fight like a kitten!"
With a snarl, another chase began and Kai raced up the hill to find himself face-to-face with his mother.
"What are you kids doing?" Setsuna asked, amused.
"Kai said I fight like a kitten!" Takeo raged. "AND he made a bet with Rita, she won, and now he won't pay up!"
"Tattletale." Kai mumbled.
"What was the bet?" Setsuna chuckled.
"That Takeo would beat me in a fight." Kurai approached with Rita on his back. "A whole pound of deer. I honestly wonder why he would bet against me. I mean, this is me we're talking about."
"Arrogance!" Takeo said in a singsong voice.
"Why you little-"
"Alright boys, enough." Setsuna ordered, before Kurai could attack. "Come along Rita, Yuki got you some new clothes. How you wear them out so quickly is beyond me."
"It's cuz me'n'Kurai wrestle, kya!" Rita said following the white wolf to their den. "An' he always beats me...."
"I heard you beat Ruko yesterday." The luna said, referring to one of Rita's playmates.
"Yeah! An' Kurai-nii says Imma Ninken now!"
Setsuna laughed. "To be honest Hime, I think you'd be called a 'ninja'. Not a 'ninken.'"
"I dun care, kya." She chirped, bounding into the cave that served as their home. "An' you know somethin'? Daddy taught me the pack jutsu!"
"That's something right there." The new den mother, Yuki, stepped forward out of the shadows, in her human form. "I don't suppose he's taught you the transformation Jutsu has he?"
