The tiny girl clumsily lifted herself to her mismatched paws, little koi whiskers wiggling as she blinked back dual toned eyes. Still much smaller than her siblings the child was an oddity. Shuriken didn’t mind, she could easily wind through and around her siblings and parents legs with ease. The girl crept from the sleeping chambers, her little nose pushing back the thick fur to reveal the hallway towards the main hall. She could hear the fire crackling and see the sunlight streaming from the vent at the cavern’s ceiling. Ike hesitated for only a moment, debating turning right to go to the main hall or left to go and bother Baba.

She didn’t hear anything from her grandmother’s chambers and so allowed her tiny paws to carry her towards the main hall and all of the comfy furs that surrounded the fire. Her whole life the child knew the cold. Even now in what should have been spring her life was filled with the adults in her life making sure she was warm and protected. Kuroki was often contrary about this fact, but Kiyohime was always up for a nice snuggle. She got cold easily, being so small. Even now as her little paw pads pattered over the cold stone she started to shiver before making it to the furs and the fire.

Shuriken swiftly dove into the thick grizzly bear fur, using her nose to dig into and cover herself with the blanket. She snuggled in and blinked bright silver and pale lavender eyes at the flickering fire. A tiny smile played on her pretty lips, thinking she was quite well hidden there in the pile of fur.
