-*After Hunting*-

[xKyoixxAmethystx]

The tall dark figure loomed over the fresh kill pile. The greenleaf season was starting, and prey was most plentiful here. Scales rubbed against feathers as the figure dropped her freshly killed prey into the pile. The dark furred cat laid down at the edge of the clearing, where she sunbathed in the little greenleaf sun that shown in this campsite. Names raced though her head as she thought about who'd go on next patrol.

One of the older kits burst out of the nursery at the sound of fresh-kill being dropped. He stumbled a couple times in excitement, tripping over his own big paws - but never falling. Blazekit stopped at the edge of the pile and nosed through it. Each piece of food brought so many wonderful smells of the forest outside the camp that he thought more about getting out of camp than eating as he picked up a mouse to eat.

The kit strolled over to the deputy, plopping down and beginning eat the mouse. "Hey!", he meowed between bites. It was quiet for a moment. So he decided to fill the silence with a question that he'd already heard the answer of too many times. "Can I go outside camp???" He seemed lonely and bored, randomly talking to whatever cat he seen. But the kit's mother and father were dead, and he had been the only one in his litter to survive. There weren't any other kits in ShadowClan at the moment... He had to entertain himself somehow.

The small black leader was sitting by the nursery, watching his camp like normal. He always liked doing that. It gave him a sense that he knew what was going on within his own clan, though he may not have known everything. The camp wasn't filled with much life at the moment, since everyone seemed to be at patrol or hunting. Which was a good thing. Wolfstar always loved it when his clan was busy with work. It gave him a sense of pride that his clan was so loyal and hard working.

It made the other clans fear Shadowclan, which as Wolfstar saw it, that was how it should be. Other clans should tremble in their presence. Though, Wolfstar was often judged by his size, so he didn't get that very much. It was only afterwards, when he fought them, did they tremble. He felt always powerful, but with that, always came over confidence. And he wasn't aware on how dangerous that was with his clan. He hadn't fought in so long, he didn't think it mattered all that much, so he wasn't sure on how he would do, but he was for sure going to win. Or what was going through his mind anyways.

He heard the kit beside him, and couldn't help but made a small smile. Clearly the kit didn't know Wolfstar was behind him. "Why do you need to go outside?" He asked suddenly. Then he glanced at his deputy, making a stiff nod at the dark cat.

[.s.h.a.d.o.w.x3.]

The kit jumped a little at the sound of the unexpected voice behind him. He fluffed up his short pelt as much as he could and spun around. His voice didn't waver when he talked, which could be cosidered brave or foolish. Blazekit knew what he wanted though. "Cuz' I'm bored!", he said, sounding awfully dramatic. "And I want to explore the forest and catch a frog!!!"

(Thanks shadow. Sorry I was gone. Unexpected slumber party.)

Darkheart had seen the little kit stumble to the fresh-kill pile. She had expected the little kit to fall, but he somehow managed to keep his balance. 'A balanced kit. Maybe he's not so weak after all...' her thoughts were interupted when the kit had bothered her. Her ehad raised as the leader approached, asking the little Blazekit why he wanted to go outside. He listened to the answer. "Go after Mousetail's long tail then." she let her cold eyes wonder to the kit. "You know its not tolerable to let a kit hunt," she added coldly.

The leader heard the dramatic covering the kit's voice like a fish in water, the voice being the fish. Wolfstar wasn't really for all the over dramatic part of his life, so this voice didn't please him. It didn't make him want to scream either. It was like a water dropping on the ground, it was annoying, but you wern't going to act like a crazy rabbit just because of something so simple such as that.

But before he could scold the kit for thinking such things, Darkheart took care of it. There was something about Darkheart, probably the most reason Wolfstar picked her as deputy, was that she didn't have to yell or use a harsh tone. She just had to speak. Her voice seemed always cold, but it was all so powerful the next. One of the reasons the other clans trembled at the thought of facing them.

"Darkheart is absolutely right. The warrior code is the warrior code, and it prohibits kits to go and hunt." He did find a little amusment in Darkheart's suggestion to young Blazekit. He could picture Blazekit batting Mousetail's tail between her paws. "You should find something to do inside of camp." He briskly nodded, settling down once more.

[Electric?!]

Shadowshine was coming out of the medicine den, stretching. Her mouth watered as she smelled the fresh kill. She noticed the little kit jumping around, acting happy, and she smiled. A tiny pang of loneliness went through her as she knew she could never have kits, but she accepted that.

"Cuz' I'm bored! And I want to explore the forest and catch a frog!!!"

The black she-cat opened her eyes wide in alarm. Then she deduced all kits were like this, and purred softly.
"If you went hunting, you might get hurt, little one. And nobody wants you hurt." She started at the kit for a moment before getting a piece of fresh kill. She looked around, "Would anybody like to share?"

[xKyoixxAmethystx]

Darkheart looked at the little kit once more and flicked her tail at him, pushing him towards Mousetail. She found only a little amusement in this, but when did she ever? Her black self got up and stretched, then her cold, blue orbs faced the medicine cat. Her words were written on her face. No. Cold as usual.

[.s.h.a.d.o.w.x3.]

Blazekit looked a little dejected by Darkheart's answer, but contemplated on what to say as Shadowshine and Wolfstar answered also - in the same disappointing ways. He thought about a hundred protests, but something in the deputy's and leader's voices told him he probably shouldn't use a single one.

"Would anybody like to share?" The question pulled his thoughts away from his comebacks and dreams of excursions outside camp. Blazekit returned to his normal pre-occupied kit happiness and he turned to the medicine cat. She was nice, with a soft, warm voice - not that he didn't enjoy the feeling of strength the leader and deputy had though. "I want a bite", the kit meowed, pawing at the ground.

[Electric?!]

Shadowshine raised her fur at Darkheart. She hated this she-cat, for how rude she was.
SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR STARCLAN'S SAKE!! She thought angrily. She started to claw at the ground, ticked. Of all the cats who could be rude, why did she have to be in ShadowClan? As you can tell, she is offended by the coldness in her actions. Shadowshine stretched and frowned.

"I want a bite! "

Shadowshine smiled and padded over to the young kit.
"Really?" She purred, and pushed the piece of fresh kill towards Blazekit. She wouldn't have some until he did. She glared at Darkheart, pure hatred blazing in her eyes.

[.s.h.a.d.o.w.x3.]

Blazekit pushed forward and took a couple of bites, then sat back a little to let the medicine cat have some. He seemed oblivious to the tension between the cats in the clearing, although it seemed to crack in the air like a greenleaf thunder storm. The kit acted pre-occupied and listened to the three most honored cats in ShadowClan. His swallowed and his tounge rasped over his muzzle, removing the blood that stained it.

Wise kit if he doesn't contiune. Wolfstar thought to himself with a proud face. He loved strong, smart, swift kits. If the kit showed respect now, one could imagine how great they would do in the future. This was the kind of kit Wolfstar enjoyed to see grow bigger and stronger in the clan. Before, by the kit's complaints, it didn't seem like it, but they all came through.

He saw Shadowshine, and nodded to her in respect. Even Wolfstar knew to respect the medicine cat. Leaders and medicine cats were usually close, but Wolfstar never liked to warm up to any cat. But they were as close as they could probably get.

Blazeheart came out of the warrior's den hoping to go on the next portal so he can start training his apprentice. But it seem that the leader and the deputy chatting with a kit and the medicine cat. So Blazeheart waited outside the warrior's den waiting for the chat to over.

[Electric?!]

Shadowshine was surprised at how Blazekit only had a few bites. She looked down at him and purred.
"Thank you." She took a few bites before passing it back to the kit. She hoped nobody was staring at her. The black she-cat nodded at her leader, and then saw Blazeheart.
"Be right back little one." With that she padded over to him. She gave him a friendly look and smiled.
"Hey, Blazeheart. How are you doing today?

[kltgirl]

"I'm fine," Blazeheart said as sweetly as he could. He wasn't used to thinking ShdowClan cats as his clanmates yet. "I hoping to take out Kestrelpaw on portal for training but I haven't seen her," said Blazeheart looking around the camp.
