Killing a bear

Kotori jogged along the hot springs scenting the surrounding area for any sign of predators.  The hot spring was a place that clashed with details to enjoy and things he’d rather avoid.  Primarily the springs were good for a soak but the scent ruined the effect being perfect.  They were also a place other animals came to visit, whether for the forested area surrounding the springs, for healing injuries, or for mere curiosity.  Regardless, in Kotori’s mind, any predator this close to his pack was asking for a fight.  They only really needed to patrol his pack's land but if they died here then they’d never make it to his land.

Kotori caught the faint scent of a bear on the eastern side, hidden still by the trees.  The bear apparently hadn’t noticed Kotori yet and the wolf considered this upper hand.  He was perfectly willing to charge bears head-on but that was better when he fought with another and he was providing a distraction.

Kotori took his time and went wide around the bear before running towards it.  The bear turned around just as Kotori got close.  Kotori had to pull himself in, not completing his charge but jogging sideways, circling the bear before getting a bite into a meaty thigh.
