It's the bear necessities..

They’d worked together long enough Kotori had no fears of Hikaru not doing his task well.  Kotori’s eyes were primarily on the bear with only a sense of motion that would be Hikaru getting into position.  Kotori couldn’t risk too much yet.  He needed to not be in trouble and regaining balance or dealing with an injury when Hikaru made his attack.  Hikaru would need backup that exact second.

Then it happened.  Hikaru went up the bear’s back.  As Hikaru did whatever damage he could Kotori ran in, biting the arm that looked as if it might have swung towards the koi wolf.  Kotori snarled sinking his fangs in, head shaking with passion.  Hikaru was off the bear and Kotori was there.  The bear had no choice but to turn his attention back to the horned wolf.  

The bear raised up on its hind legs to thrust his body forward in a half-leap trying to just slam his paws towards the wolf, mouth ready to bite if Kotori gave him the chance.  Tucking his tail to keep it from getting struck Kotori leaped away for a near miss.

The bear had blood sliding down its back and arm now.  It was clearly in pain and questioning the wisdom in coming near the pack land.  Kotori glared at the bear, keeping his gaze on its eyes trying, once again, to become the center of attention.
