The tiger is out of luck

Kotori had started the attack without checking with Arc, trusting his nephew to join without a moment of hesitation.  There was no chance to see what Arc had been up to while Kotori had been giving the cat his complete attention in their game of circling.  Arc’s actions became clear when he came up from behind and bit the animal on the base of the tail.  Excellent.

The cat was predictable in its cry out and attempt to get to Arc.  Cats and bears should someday learn the foolishness of fighting wolves, especially when it was more than one wolf at a time.  Maybe some knew, the ones who were clever enough to not go close to wolves.

Kotori wasted no time in lunging forward, jaws clamping on the right shoulder, back feet scrambling to keep up with the tigers turning.  The tiger tried lunging forward to get clear of both Arc and Kotori’s teeth at the same time.  It forced Kotori to back peddle and let go of his group, but his teeth tore through the cat’s shoulder, his bite turning into a longer gash, lengthening the injury.
