King of the Willows

Kotori was impressed by Hikaru.  The wolf had to be suffering with the sickness but he hadn’t hesitated at any point to fight alongside him at the predators that were popping up.  If Kotori had a leadership roll he would offer the koi wolf a promotion for that alone.  Considering they were the same rank though it didn’t mean very much.

Kotori flashed his teeth back at the lion, side stepping away from where Hikaru was so they could have different positions to attack.  So far the same game plan had worked so no reason to change it up.  Kotori would bait the beast and let Hikaru get some solid attacks in until it was weak for them to both finish it off.

The lion was closing in and Kotori wasn’t letting it come any closer, he lunged forward a step snarling and snapping at the air, quickly gaining the lions attention.  It roared and as it faced Kotori the wolf twisted sideways, grinning as the cat was clearly focused on him.  Soon enough it was stuck between the two wolves.  

The lion lunged, front paws up as if he planned to pounce Kotori, its jaws wide.  Kotori leaped back, scrambled a few more steps surprised at how far the lion could move in one pounce.  The moment the cat’s feet were on the ground Kotori lunged forward, attempting to bite at a leg but the cat’s mouth was already open and ready to make another attempt to bite him as well.  Kotori pulled back, snarling aggressively.  It was fine if he didn’t get the first bite.  The stupid lion was indeed giving him all the attention and forgot his partner, at least it sure seemed that way.
