Hello, Big World

"One, two, three, four," the long furred girl counted the little glowing fish that swam within the pool. The edges of the water were crusted with ice, but the centers were still unfrozen somehow. "Five, six, seven," Had she already counted that one? Behind her, the childs long, obsidian tail hissed over the ground as it wagged slowly back and forth. "Eight, nine, ten," A sound from behind sent one dark ear swiveling, but she couldn't stop counting now. She'd lose her place! "Eleven, twelve, thirteen."

It was when she got to her thirteenth fish that she heard her brother's voice drawing out her name. Iki's ears tucked against her pale skull. Oki always meant trouble. A moment later, he had her tail in his mouth. Silver eyes going wide, Ikigai turned and tried pulling her tail away. "Oki, no!" He was going to cover her tail in spit! That wasn't very ladylike! Taking her tail within her strange, dexterous paws, Iki tried to pull her tail out of her brother's grasp.

Iki gasped as Plague showed up. An adult! The small child pleaded with the man. She knew him to be her uncle. Family was important and she had been working hard to learn them all. "Oji san, make him stop." Iki didn't want her tail to be ruined and she didn't want to get hurt either. Oki was rough and the tiny lady was far from that.
