Shochu had been attempting to dig a root of the ground from a tree, not realizing just how impossible the task would be, when Kotori’s call for puppies interested in hunting reached his ears. The boy paused his digging, tail wagging as he looked up. He wanted more hunting lessons! Kotori had already tried to help him once. Looking over his shoulder he called to his papa. “Papa I’m going to see Kotori!” He hoped that he heard him, especially since his papa was also trying to keep an eye on his other siblings.
But without waiting for a response Shochu was off, back in the direction of the rapids. His little paws hit the ground hard as he raced to be the first one there, and to his delight he was! He grinned as he saw their leader, tail wagging as he greeted the older male. “Hello Kotori!” He noticed the rabbit in the cage and his eyes lit up. Was that going to be their prey? It wouldn’t stand a chance if some of his siblings came!
