More then we bargained for

Kichi was ready to go at the bear again!  All the hate that lived in him wanted to lash out at it.  His fight with Sara against the bear they’d lost and it was the last thing he wanted to have to happen again!  Still, as he was getting ready to rush the giant monster a problem occurred.

The bear’s strike hit the other wolf he’d brought along and she went sprawling.  Kichi quickly moved between bear and wolf, snarling at it and waiting for her to get up.  Waiting.  Why wasn’t she trying to get up?  The bear was moving forward and Kichi snapped at it to try and keep it at bay, getting a paw swiped at him for it.  

Damn it!  Kichi grabbed the wolf by her scruff and started dragging her back, rage fueling his strength to and he tossed half the wolf’s body onto his back.  She was technically smaller than Kichi but not by much.  She was heavy but he was determined and rage-fueled his strength and the pressure on his sore back added pain that pushed him forward.  Hate in his eyes was turned on the bear as he started walking off.  Running with the weight of this other wolf on him wasn’t possible.

Whether it was the glare he gave the bear or more likely the fact they were admitting defeat and the bear was at least in some pain it didn’t charge them.  The bear did stand up, roar, and boast a lot pissing Kichi off more if possible but it didn’t attack.  Kichi kept a cautious gaze on it but was able to get him and this other wolf out of the bear's area and headed a trek towards home.
