What hides within?

The tiger’s eyes started to follow the wolf that was moving into the brush, apparently more interested in the one that wasn’t remaining still.  Kotori watched,  watching until the second he saw the muscles bunching up on the tiger’s front legs.

Kotori rushed in with an intentionally loud snarl to draw the tiger’s eyes back to him and away from the pup.  It worked and a clawed paw was swatted towards Kotori as if expecting that was all it took to get rid of the annoying wolf.  Kotori put on the breaks to just miss the attack, sinking his teeth into the leg as it swings by, connecting right behind the joint on the paw.  His teeth dug in nicely and when the cat’s head swung towards him with its fangs and Kotori finally had to let go.  That was fine though, the tiger was obviously fully focused on the wolf in front of it now.
