Crystal Cats Not Allowed

Kotori kept his voice hushed with just a quiet, “I’ll go right.” That said the boy made a wide route around the cougar assuming Hika would go to the left or any direction except to the right with him could work.  They could both attack from the same side technically but it didn’t make nearly as much sense as far as Kotori could see.

Kotori was at an advantage against many currently.  Whether it was other wolves, predators, or prey.  So many were sick and somehow he had been spared.  Kotori couldn’t even say it was some amazing ability of his, it was just as simple as luck in this area.  How sick was this cougar?  How hard could it still fight?  Kotori grimaced at the idea of having to bite the infected cat but there weren’t many choices.  

He’d wait for Hika to get in a good position before rushing towards the cougar’s front shoulder, showing off his teeth and noticing that there was small signs of a crystal in his ear on that side and at least one of the nostrils.  Yuck.  The cougar spun to face him and swiped out with claws extended with one large paw.  Kotori shifted his weight back to not get clobbered by the paw, grinning at the large cat, snapping for its shoulder and again missing but he wasn’t trying hard.  He just wanted the cougar’s attention on him instead of Hika.
